Those who have taken their views of the 2\rneti ten civil war from the repre sentations of the north, must now be gin to have some doubts of their own wisdom. Happy will it be, we believe for Amei-i.- I,th.it th ty are a s:n ill mi r* orty; and that the great body of he na tion judged for itself in so important jj, matter Had our Government and people been led away in the early part of this year to cheer on the crusade of the North; to echo its assertions about the weakn ss of the secessionist move ment, and to join in piedieting the Union’s sptedy victory, what would have been our position now? Instead of standing in a decent neutrality be tween two powerful and incensed na tions, for so must they now be called; instead of being able, when the time comes, to speak with the calm of impar tiality and he confidence derived i.om just anticipations we, should have h< en merely a set of partizlans, doomed to explain away our hasty en husiasm. V\ hatever may be the end be this A-. ericim contest, Englishmen will of happy that they counselled peace.— Siiould the Confederates establish their independence, they will not lie able to accuse us of trying t> strangle tieir nationality in the cradle. Should the present dilferences result in :i “trar.sac tion,” by which the Union shill lie s >l - t •(’■ether for a time, then neilnei party will have it c > say the burdens left by season of civil strife were increased byoiir counsels. 1 ('anything were needed to confirm th s countiyin it s policy, the present situation of affairs wotiid be quite enough. It is now plain that this must be a gigantic war. It. is but four or live mo.itiis since we were told that a single encounter w >ul«I decide mat ers. Those who professed to know the i hatacfeis of the Si utlit i ner and his opp nen ,assured us (hat lhe former was a mere nosy swaggerer, who might fight, pretty well for a s'n ;le day t»ut would be soon overthrown by the stern moral man of the North. How comple e has been the mistake of tiio e who took this 'view ol lhe combatants may be judged from the present state of the campaign. But t.ie event from which we can gain the b st insight in*-«» the course of the campaign is . the xece.re defeat which the Nortlvniers c jf‘.red at Lee*- burg, and which, if latter ru n »rs be tru ■ was followed by a still more important reverse a<liy or two afterwards. The well known it urative we g iv-s of it was taken from tly? N - v Y" irk Tribune which cannot be suspected of any favor towards the en uny, and i may ihere fore, be c mclti le i that thoie facts arc sufficiently accurate. In this bloody encounter one must really admit that no disgrace at acks to the Norf hern tionps, who scorn to have done all that can be expected of men But the les son should not l e loss on those who have inflicted on British c ilumni. Tic battle was the usual American, such ;:s has been fought in thr te great wars al ready, and is now likely to detenu n • he event of a fourth. In fact, the accounts we published yesterday might, with changed names an 1 number,apply almost accurately to the battle on the M mongah la, in in which Braddock w.is deleate I m ire than a him bed years ago, and which first brought, the n i n i of >n in n itice. The ped mtic ve'eran, who with his head full of the art of war, marched through the wilderness as if it were Flanders,and had half his f irc i destroyed by sharp she lters from behind trees, was but lhe forerunner of a Burgoyue and a Packenh im, an I n >w he has a successor in a Federal com mander, One cannot read without pity lhe fat- 1 f these unfortunate men. lhe end was a perfect rout. 1 lie diowning of the men in attempting torccross the river wasdreadful incident. Ont of<?ig'i teen hundred men the loss, according t<> the official report, was -six hn i Ire 1 and eiglitv. The battle is important as being, perhaps, the type <»f those to come. What can the Federals hope I for in a country like Virginia b i a sue- j cession of Leesburg fought ag tinst. ene mies strongly pos cd, and en lie ■; in de feats or dearly piircli i< * 1 victories about as fatal al. defeats UTTER FROM COL'T.M IUS. On Thursday, the gunbi-’s Jackson and Polk went up to within a short dis' tance of Cairo, n-i 1 p »nred several rounds into Camp ilolt, oppoisite Cairo pep| ering the Federals, and compelling them to leave their tents and scamper off for their very lives. The Federals have no guns mounted at Camp Holt, and our gunboats occu pied such a position that they could not be reached either from Cairo or Bird’s Point. It is believed that these attacks will speedily bring on an en gagement —the very thing our boys I most ardently desire. Al Columbus, I on Thursday, it was generally rumored j and believed that an attack on Paducah! VOT. XVIII—NO. 5 would be made at an eaily d iy. The Federal force there is said to be reduc* ed to ab mt 3,000. Gen, Jeff Thompson is fortifying at New Madrid, and has no idea that the Federals are fools enough to attempt to disiurb him. He i« concentrating a very large army there, and- doing arf‘ efficient service for the means at his cointnaud as any one in the Confederate' service. At Hickman, we are informed, true' Southerners from Kentucky are arriv ing in large numbers every day, and going to Columbus with all possible dispatch. Indeed, so great is tlfc rush to Hickman th it is in contemplation te run a s’eamboat between Hickman and Columbus, for the special accotn' mode tion of the Kentucky sympathizers with the Southern cause.— Memphis (Tenn.') Avalanche, Oct 8. OBJECTS OF THE NAVAL EXPEDI TION. The London “Times’’ regards the movements ofuhe enemy against our Southern coast as intended for pol itical effect abroad. “In spite of the affected indifference of the Northerners to European opinion on the war, they must feel that, with the growing embarrabsments of our manufacturers, and the distress of our working classes, th -re must be an in crease of bitterness agains themselves, which mty produce inconvenience and even danger. It is desirable, therefore to show that not they, but their oppo nents, are tiie witholders of the cotton supply. If tiiey cm s ;ize a port and open it even noin n.rlly t> the trade, they thereby’tak . away the ground of complaint which Europe had against diem. They show that it is not they who preyeiic cotton from coining out but tiial it is the Sotithcriieis who keep it in. That they w.ll get. cotton in any large quantities no one can believe, for the Confederate or the State Govern ments will, of coins*, take care that every bale, and probably every negro, shall bo rem >ved frim Lc o‘hood of the enemy. But stdi the Federals will have sat’slic I to so ue extent the de mud- of foreign nulions, inasrniicli as they will be able to say to us or to the French: “Here is a port, enter it, and take all the cotton you can get; you are at full liberty to trade with all w.i >in yon can find io t.’adc with.” When the “Timet'” shows that the proffer of cotton which Lincoln thus proposes to Europe, is but a m ickery, I anil necessarily ho, ii. gives every reas on to anticipate that so far troin its conciliating l'< reign gov rnimn's, they will regard any such calculation as an insult to their intelligence. The South ern people stand ready to exchange their cutton for goods of the Old World so soon as they can do so honorably; blit to expect* them to surrender thu very object of their struggle tor that privilege, only shows what follies may possess men without destroying life.— Port Roy •!, in possession of Yankee ships, is, of course, as sealed a port to ns as B tsfou. To talk about the Con federates trading there under tribu <» to the enemy ami recognizing their au thority, is utterly idle; and he sensi ble world will so pronounce it. Nei Il er “the French” nor the English will be caj ded by any such trilling with a grave question.
