The Future ol the >Var. A eotomporary comes to the conclu sion that parties at tho North are organ ising for the Prp-idential contest of 1804 upon tlie issue of Peace or War for tho preservation of tho Union, and that the war must continue until that cioc.Lion So farm the simple question of pcnco *r war is concerned, wo regard this .•nnoluoioD as the only probablo and ra tional one that we can udopt, from the hghts heforo us. Kvnn were tho people .,f both eouhtries heartily tirod of tlie war und willing to close it on tho basis ,.\n separation, there is the perplexing question of a boundary lino to prevont a treaty of peace. No mutter what party might bo in power at the North, until tlm fortunes of the war shall have given met: a more definite idea of a just and acceptable boundary lino there could bo uo formal establishment of friendly rela tions. It is evident that the war has not yet defined such a line -one that attracts the attention of both sides as satisfactory and in accordance with tho wishes of the people along the border. "We, therefore, are by no means sanguino of a formal peace before-the Federal Presidential election, or eve.) very shortly alter that Hut if the two belligerents keep up tho contest much longer on its present scab*, snd with tho activity that has charac terized it tor the last two years, they wid have exhibited a spirit of endurance and implacability very rare in this century, it is evidently one of tho most exhausting wars ou modern record. It desolates unenro areas, and taxes with groat verity tho resources of the belligerents, has come much nearer calling out the :tiro fighting population of tho ,States engaged than any great and long-< tinuod war for imply years, and it has few exuinplcs in the extent to which lias substituted war for pcaco ns t Inidnouoccupation of t he pooplu. Per- nH|is this last fact discloses the reason why its privations and exhaustion are not more severely folt by homo classes. Fictitious prices and plenty of work for the government or tlie army may keep up fnf a whilo ft dolusivo appearance of prosperity. Hut this condition of tiling isonlv temporary, and must now be near its end in the Unitod States. When the ■ bubble of an inflated currency explodes, tho collapse will be sudden nnd prostra ting. Tho Government will then realign i its bankruptcy iuu doublo senso—its ina bility to raise tlie means lor tho prose cution of tho war on such a scale, nnd its lor i of tho favor of tboso who stood by it while times went easy with them and the war visited upon them no privations or tuflhrings. Wo believe that this ex hausting st a go of tho conflict will soon greatly diminish the w .rliko operations und moderate tho pretensions of tho Yurikco Government, and that af.ora while tho war will either shrink to com paratively small proportions, or a bound ary satisfactory to the belligerents will be so sharply defined as to admit of a peaceful arrangement.

Correction Amended. Our neighbor of the Timm very prop erly hoots at the statement going tho rounds of the press (and which wo took occasion to correct a week ago) to the effect that “moro cotton has left tho port of Charleston alone, during the past six months, than has been raised Oharlvaton daily Thu above computation fulls far sbo (, f exposing the full measure of tho n! surdity pf the statement. Lot the Tim- revise its arithmetic, thus—180 X2,222 Instead of shipping out 4,000,000 of bales in six month*, only HXl.OOO would t»e shipped out, leaving nine-tenths of tho "ock still on hand. An experienced cotton dealer rornarkod to us, a fow days ■'nee, that no one port of tho Confede racy could ship tho cotton now in the country in a whole year, and wo do not question the correctness of the calcula tion. It would roquire tho shipment of over 11,000 bains per day (including Sun days) to do the work, and the arrival and d-parturo of eight or ten largo vessels P«r day. (.’.mid tin shipping do this large business at any one port, it is too plain to require a calculation thut it would bo impossible for its railroad and river tranfipjrtation to accumulate the cotton f »r exportation within n year.
