The overthrow of our army is predicted as an inevitable result. Trains of the en emy have been seen for several days mov ing supplies below i rtUerickkburg.

Shacklett, of Meadu county, Indicted for treason in the United States Circuit Court, has been on trial in this city since Friday last, and yesterday a verdict of guilty was rendered cgniiut him. This iSbacklctt was a desperado who went off In 1 SOI, when Buckncr attempted to betray the State, was associated with Forrest's com raand, we think, and came back with Bragg's invading ai.ny last f;ll. He left that body at Hod Mills, on the Kolling Fork, and went to Meado county, where he arretted the sheriff, and assessor, by the order of Bragg, as be aaid, and succeeded in taking two away as prisoners to tho reb el camp. He aflcrward killed Mr. Pear man, the postmaster at Big Spring, under circumstances of unsual and cold-blooded atrocity, as be was eudeavcring to escape. i.uuiii.g i i. u uvwu ue.pua me icariui prayers and entreaties of his wife and fam ily. The boine guards ol Meade t'uen got upon bis track and succeeded in arneiing L'un, and, after indictment and a trial, up. on which he was defended with consumate skill, he baa been found guilty of treason. Tlii Is tho first indiclmcut and the first conviction since the rebellion broke out, ar.d we trust that no mistaken clemency will prevent Li in from being the first to expiate bis awful crimes ou tho callows.

Yet wo d-i not believo llmt wsr is im minent. Wo cannot afford tbu luxury. Tho aliuglo in which wo arc cupged tax es all our resources, aud to carry it safely through to a siieo'sful isuo will require our undivided energies. For this reason wo do not outieipuie that our Government will dcolu.-o war against Kngland though it ba ample ground for doing so; or will i-vcu dcclaro an embargo, or seize British j.ropcrly to recompense our shipowners for the tcs they aro sulfcring through the f.iratical nets of British Vessels, Our cuu just now is to suffer every thing from loreigr.ers for the sake of con ceiitrnting our whole strength on the sup pression of tho rebellion. When this is done, wo shall havo time to devote to our enemies. So soon as the restoration of the Union has been achieved, wo look to sou energetic measures adopted by our Government for the settlement of accounts with England. e expect to see every man who has lost a dollar by-tho depredations of tho Ala bama paid in full, with interest, by tho British Government.
