Foderal authority is once more endan- jered in Western Virginia, and the conquest of 0 State can no r be looked on as 8 cortaint; by, the most sanguine Northerner. ‘The fact that a body of fifteen thousand Confederates ‘could thus clear an important region of the enemy, could inflict such disgrace on him and raise such aa alarm in chief cities, shows that the present resources of the feverals in men, however large, have been used to fatmost in prosecuting the war.’ ‘The North is now g@onquer by ae vast intronchments, ang not by driving the enemy re it in an open it. We may, therefore, say that the expectations of 1 who think that the war is to come to an ond in thirty or ninety days are little likely to be realized. Several months must elapse before the new federal levies can be raised, drilled and brought into the field. All this time the in. croasing debt ou both sides and mutual hatred are tend- fing to make a now Union more and more impracticable. ‘The London News treats the defeat of General Banks aa ‘animportant, and shows that it can have no serious effect ‘pon the ultimate reeuit of the campaign.

It is impossible, in fact, for the arinies of the Nerthand the armics of the South, in presence of each other at Corinth and at Richmond, nov to come to blows. Deluges of blood will be shed, and, what is more sad to contemplate, whatever the issue may bo, these terrible encounters do not promise a o- Jution of the actual crisis either for America o for Bu- rope.

The question which the positive spirit of is 80 fond of putting still remains: “Amd what then?” Will the triumph of the federal arms produce miracles? Will it change the seasons? Will it dissipate the hot weather and the sickness which must ensue? Can it manage that the extent of territory conquered, and consequently to pied, shall not be equal to the whole extent of England and Austria put t here are the armies to occupy such an extent, and where is the moral strength which could dispense with occupying them and hold the place of soldiers? ‘We simply wish to touch upon facte—nothing but facts. ‘What do we see on the side of the Confederates? They burn their produee; they burn their provisions; ‘they de- stroy their railways; they blow up their dockyards, their arsenals, and their ships; they leave their wives and children to fight in battle, When, in a proclamation of gavage energy, General Beauregard recommends the planters to destroy their crops which are within reach of the enemy, and to apply the torch to them without delay or hesitation, it is pot simply @ captain excited by the drunkenness of war who Sauce ia the genoral senti- ment loudly expressed. not Bumerous meetings al- ready expressed their opinion?

The Paris Pays says the Patrie has gone too far in its statements relative to mediation. it gives to a mere wish formed by public opinion the character ¢f a diplomatic fact. Up to the present time all is conficed to manifestations of the European press in favor of pacification. The London Times, in an editorial on the ministers, says:—There will be no disposition to quarrel with the decision of the Cabinet,and the country will gladly leave the question inthe hands of the government to choose such an opportonity and mode of action as they may deem proper. 6 London Times admits that advice from England would not be acceptable; but it would rejoice to sce the Bm- peror of France or the Csar of Russia press on the Am.ricans ‘the counsels which would be indignautly rejected if offered by England. ‘The London Times then speculates on the disastrous ef- fects of either a Northern conquest or the reverse, and argues that, if the Southerners coatinue to protract the Struggle, the time must come when the intervention of Bu- rope wiil be ee the interesis of humanity, and gecnapesmbertet willingly by the exhausted combatants. land may then with prudence hold itself in readiness wo capers «aby proposition urged by its more favored neighbors. In another editorial the London Times seeks to encour- ‘age the develo tof new cotton fields. The Times editorially appreves of mediation, and says that Europe ought wot to look calmly on and do nothing in the present aspect of affairs. If the offer of mediation is delayed, the more important question, that of the re- ition of the Confederate States, may bave to be con- sidered. The London News argues weer mid interference in America, and contends that England has good reasons: for not wishing to see carried out the intervention policy of Napoleon, which seeks to establish an empire, with slavery for its corner stone. The London News says that from the moment European soldiers shall set foot in the States, the government of that sand ‘will enter upon @ new era of its existence, Its political isolation will be at an end, and it will be com- lied to become and remain a great military and naval Bower, which is not for the interest of England nor fer the peace of the world. The article alse contends that England should not assist in any movements calculated to restore to the South that monopoly in cotton which ‘Phe London Pos’ says that Lord Palmerston’s an- nouncement that no mediation was intended will be re- ceived with satisfaction, as well as an indication of the good sense of the governments of France and England, And of their respect for inter joual law, iver op tiating howgysr, 00 wie HVolodst8Es OT Thy preaont of mediation, thé Logdon Pest says the time may come, and that shorily, when # will become the int duty: of the neutral States to interfere in the American troubles; but now, as at the commencement of the war, they are a stand aloof, London Herald in strong terms asks “how long is America to be indulged and to endure?’ and, after expatiating on the insurmountable difficulties of the North, it contends that separation is the basis .

He arrived here in the Nollie Baker only yester- day afternoon from White House. ‘The steamer Port Royal arrived at Norfolk this morn- ing from Newbern. She brought no news. ‘The steamer Metamora will proceed to City Point to- Morrow under a flag oftruce, and convey thither a score of fomale secessionists from Baltimore and Washington, besides'several paroled rebel surgeons and line officers. The United States steam sloop-of-war Wachusett ar- rived from City Point this morning, and reports that on Saturday last the steam gunboat Jacob Bell proceeded up the James river to reconnoitre, but when abreast of Turkey Island ran hard aground on @ shifting sandbar, which accident the rebels soon observed, aud took ad- vantage of by bringing a battery of field pieces down on the south bank and opening upon the Jacob Bell from rifled guns with shell and solid shot. The gunboat did all she could to drive off the rebels, but did not succeed until she was considerably injured. A new steamboat, called the John Tucker, arrived from New York this morning, having made the run from wharf to wharf in twenty-two hours.
