ProsBccta of tho War. Such lias been tho skillful management of 'General Scott that, without much fighting, tho United States forces haro been gradually collected, organized, disciplined, nnd so dis tillmtcd as to check tho advances nnd opera tions of tho confederate rebel, nnd to improvo tho prospects of finally putting down tho re bellion nnd reestablishing tho Constitution nnd the laws In tho disunion Slntes. Tho principal powers of Kuropo have de clared their friendly regard for the Govern ment of the United Slates, nnd given strong nssuranccs that Ihey will not recognize the secession movement. Tor some limo England appeared to await the turn of events before Indicating her sympathy for or ngolnst tho (JoTcrnmcnt, but later ndvlcca Indicate that the has had Lcr eyes opened to tho fact that the resources and power of our Government Is fully omplo for tho emergency, nnd will give no aid, directly or otherwise, to tho seceding States; In fact, tho has changed her entire policy, and prohibited tho rebel privateers .from taking prizes Into their port?. "Without tho aid ol foreign Governments, It will bo Impossiblo for tho Confederate States to maintain their Independence, If our Govern ment continues to net ns wisely, vigorously acd efficiently ns It has dono for the last four months, nnd we Lave every assurance that It will do so. Notwithstanding South Carolina put the ball of rebellion In motion, sho has rolled It on tho shoulders of Virginia ns tho better place of security, nnd this Stato now finds on her soil nearly ono hundred thousand men un ler arms. Such vast hordes rapidly consume nil tho products of tho country in their vicin ity, nnd already earnest appeals have been made to tho planters of tho South to grow corn Instead of cotton. General Scott Is mov ing on tho armies of the United Slntes in va rious directions, to cut olT their supplier, and thus cripple them, and tho timo causes which compelled them to cvacuato Harper's Ferry will compel them to abandon Slannsscs Junc tion nud full bach towards Ittclimcod, and, ul timately, to fijht an overwhelming force or ubandon Ilichmond also. The decisive, vigorous and prompt move ments of General Lyon will hold In check tho (rrasonablo designs of Governor Jackson, of Missouri, while Generals 1'nttcrson, McClcllan and others of known military ability will con duet affairs In Virginia. Wo havo not, ns yet, received accounts of terrible battles between tho contending par ties, but tho expressed policy of tho Commati-der-ln-Chicf is being carried outtho saving of unnecessary bloodshed, first among his own troops, then omong the rebels, nud tho taking of ns many prisoners as possible. We hare reason to rrjoieo over the success of his plans thus far, and confidently hope that ho soon 'will bring the war to n glorious and compara tively bloodless finale. YncKA JoimxAi..
