From being one of the weakest, the end of the war will leave us one of the most powerful military nations in the world. If the lesson that we lately received in Hampton Roads be not lost upon us, it will also raise us to an equality of naval strength with the Pewer that has so long domineered pon the seas.

In bounding on the abolitionists to invade the fights of the South, she expected by it to break up the republic. Instead of that she will | have rendered it more powerful and indissolu- le than ever, and more ready to acquit itself of the deep debt of vengeance which the selfish- Mees and treachery of the English aristocrats nd Exeter Hall fanatics have accumulated egainst her.

The dearth of news hereabout is getting truly deplora- ble. No fights, no advances, no retreats, no nothing to vary the dull monotony of camp and shipboard life. To conversation with a gentleman from St. Louis last Bight, 1 learned some things that I must confess were Rew to mo, and as I think the idea will be new to the publie generally, and as in presenting it I shall not transcend the rules laid down for the government of the press, I will endeavor to jot it down. The gentleman re- ferred to I know to be a warm personal friend to General Halleck, and shares,much of that sterling officer's favor and confidence. Hence a weight will be attached to what he says,such as does not accrue to the sayings of ordi- nary men. I would like to give,his name, that the public might the more readily comprehend the reason why I assign so much paper to the chronicling of his ideas. ‘The conversation turned upon the operations of the army here andelsowhere. I asked— “What is General Halleck’s opinion ef General Mc- Clellan?”? “Sir,” said my friend, ‘‘1 have heard General Hallock say, in substance, repeatedly, that he considered the military skill, sclence and penetration of General Mc- Clellan as second to that of no man living; that whatever had been done inthe West and cisewhere was but the carrying out of McClellan’s great plan of the war ; that the goneral idea of each and every of these mowments was the fruit of his foresight and knowledge of war and its appliances, and that McClellan had rough hewn the whole work and only left the finishing touches to the de- partment and division commanders.” ‘This, coming so direct from General Halleck, led me to push my inquiries still further. I aaked:— Can you Give any reasonable solution to the mystery that hangs 0 heavily over the operations of the army on the Po. temact”’ . He replied:—‘I cannot explain anything; but I may advance an idea to you that! received irom General Halleck not a month ago, In conversation with him I made nearly tho same interrogatory you have just pro- Pounded to me, and the General’s answer to me must be yours. It is this, as near in his own words as I cam repeat them :—This is a war in which success rests upon considerations that do not generally enter into men’s calculations. You are aware that the revolted Statos occupy a vastly different geographical position from the loyal ones. Health, incident to cli- mate, food, water, habits, &c., 18 as different in the two sections as could Le conceived of that of two <istinct na- tions, Certain hygienic principles are to be studied in carrying on a campaign as well as the more oxternal ap- army must be sound physically as well os patriotio. Enervation, prostration and climatic maladies must be avoided if possible. Now tle seceded States are emi- nently unhealthy during a certain portion of the yoar. The months of August, September and October aro thore during which the tropical diseases rage, which so fear. fully decimate even the native pojulation, and the mor® generally carry off these habituated to @ diferent climo. ‘The yollow fever rages through the South periodicallY every two or three years, and as ‘that malady has not appeared during the last two seasous it may naturally bo expected this year. In view; of this state of well es- tablished facts, a farseeing general would try to devise means to avoid the consequences. If a Norwera army should be marched southward to the Gulf shore during the gickly months, and should there be attacked by a maladiac foe and cut off by sickness and tropical ennui, the execrations of a nation would be vented upon a gens- ral who would thus expose his troops. Hence it becomes necessary to do what is to be done in the extreme South early in the year. Tho Southern Atlantic coast, the Gulf States and the Southwest must be overrun during a sea- son of comparative healthfulness. Rebellion inust be crushed out and rebel troops driven back to the cooler rogions of the mountains of North Carolina, Western Tennessee and Southern Virginia during that es°-on wher paturo is in favor of, instead of against, an . wii} once hemmed in by an overpowerir ino om pe fall—it is inevitable, Now, 0: 40 cir. cumstances, it is not bard to see wiv ain ++ ummand- er-in-Chief should exert him enemy's army in a positicr TO be can at the proper time strike a death bloy t!» more surely. If the flower of the rebel army be evaxed to remain at-Manassas or north of Richmond,@o much of its strength is wasted; our armies in the West and Sou hbive the less to con- tond against »: «i our victories are tie more certain. The ‘Western avuy clears the great Valley of the Misvissipp! of recession; the Gulf squadron re-estublishos the con- stitution in the populous cities of the South; the Roanoke and Roavfort forces are pushed inward and northward; and rext autumn, when the sickly season approaches, all, cvajointly, are driving the rebels back to the locality whore a frish army of loyal men are waiting & receive them, ina country where Southron has po advantagy over Northman. Then comes the great decisive action ©. the campaign. The Union troops, fiushed with constant victory, meet those dispirited by conr.ant reverses. Who can doubt the result? On the other hand, we will suppose that the Command. ing General and the War Department yield to the clamor of those who only seek for carnage rogerileas of consequences, and order an advance upon Manassas or Richmond, The result would be simply to drive tho rebels away to zome other point, where they would make a secend stand, and a third or a fourth, each time leading the federal troops farthor and farther away from the localities oftheir acclimation, and into were sure and terrible mortaliiy. Ne; let McCiolian work. Let him keep the rebels concentrated ag far north as possible, aud so keep rebel forces from coming farther south, and next summer or carly in the autumn a denouement will come which will justify the present ap- parent inactivity of thearmy ef the Potomac. If the enemy shall retreat, let General McClellan advanco to their positions; if not, Jet bim remain in sate quo, until be wready to make every shot tell its most against troason.’” ‘There are thoze at the West—certain Tribune-ated indi- viduals and eliques—who will pe’. at this theory, and taugh at the philosophy, er at ite humanity, and affect to doubt its reasonah! mon © ho will howl at every breath for an “‘advauce ©) 2 Richmond,” though it cost the iife of every Union soldier now in Virginia, But, thonk God, their number is small, and their calibre easily moasured.

Wasmxatow, April 9, 1862. INTENSE EXCITEMENT OVER THE RECENT SNION VIO- ‘TOKIBS. The glorious news from the Southwest produced an immense excitement in all classes throughout the whole city to-day. In Congress and out of Congress, om the streets and in the houses, everybody seemed to be re- Joicing and all regarded the rebellion as drawing near ¢o its close, when the last stronghold im the West had sur- rendered, and the main army of the rebels there had been ingloriously defeated. The glad faces of the Union men can only be described by contrast with those of the radicat abolition and rebel sympathizers, who were deeply cha grined at the succeasof the federal arms without theaidof General Cameron’s armed negroes. Each of these fac- tions read, im the rapid progress of the Union forces, the downfall of all their hopes, and openly regret thas some disaster had not befallen our soldiers to make them more cautious in pressing on to win, The rapidity with which these successes fullow each other has completely overturned all the calculations ef the opponents of the President and General McClellan, They dare mot howl against General McClellan’s waiting before the rebel works at Yorktown, while they glorify Flag Officer Foote for his success at Island No. 10, when the latter has officially reported that it required twenty-three days to complete all the preparations for the achievement of the brilliant suc- cess that has given to us that stronghold, and all its ordnance and ammunition stores, &e. Thore isknowa to be behind the intronchments at Yorktown ton, perhaps twenty times, the numbers that were found at Island No, 10, and without detracting one scintilla from the glory of the victory on the Mississippi, it would be only Just to afford to our army in front of Yorktown a decent- Jy reasonable time for preparation for the capture of that last rebel standpoint. THE DERALD'S SPECIAL REPORT OF THE GREAT VICTORY AT PITTSBURG, TENN. ‘The special despatch to the Hxmarp, which was tele- graphed to the goyernment this morming, produced a decp sensation throughout Washington. It waa sent by the Prosident to the Capitol, and was read before both brenches of Congress at the commencement of the ses- sion. The news was received with deep feeling; but the statement of the terrible loss that accompanied our great victury was sufficient to prevent such an outburst. of applause as is gencrally given in Congress upon the an- nouncement of the successes of our army. Tho news spread like wildfire through the Streets, and immediately became the subject of nimated discussion im the hotels, How could the Hrrarp get such an important piece of intel- ligence in advance of everybody else? was the question of the incredulous; and several quidnuncs attempted to prove that the story of the grent battle must bo abso. lutely false. The government believed it, however, and official despatches subsequently confirmed tho intelli- gence received through the Hratp, The secessionists here aro astounded, Tho defeat of Beanregard and Johnston, on a field where they chose to glve battle to our forces, -has plunged tato despair all those who sympathize with the rebelz.
