Whatever may be the policy resolved upon by the administration for the further prosecu- tion of the war, the programme which should be adopted, looking at the present situation of things in the South, appears so plain and intel- ligible that “he who runs may read it.” A very brief review of the general field of our military operations will sufficiently disclose the wenk and the strong places of the rebellion to indicate the point at which the heaviest blows of the government should now be directed. One month ago the Mississippi river was blockaded between Vicksburg and Port Hud- son; the army of Bragg, in Middle Tennessee, threatened the expulsion of Rosecrans and the reoccupation of Nashville, while it was difficult to determine whether the army of General Lee, moving about in Pennsylvania, would first march against Philadelphia, Baltimore or Wash- ington. This was on the Ist of July; but since that day Vicksburg and Port Hudson have { been captured; the Mississippi river has been completely reopened; Bragg has been precipi- tately driven out of Tennessee; Lee, in the grandest battle of the war, has been beaten, and has been ignominiously driven again behind the Rappahannock, while we have gained a solid foothold in front of Charleston, which gives us the key that will unlock all its iron doors and carry us into the city. ° The army of General Banks, with the capture of Port Hudson, was liberated for the comple- tion of its unfinished work in Western Lou- isiana and Texas, and in this department we NO NOTICE taken of anonymous correspondence.

By the arrival of three vessels from Charleston bar yesterday we have details of the progress of the siege up to the 26th inst. General Gillmore had succeeded in mounting a battery of siege guns of immense calibre within a thousand yards of Fort Wagner. It was thus that he destroyed Fort Pulaski, battering it down “‘like a house of cards.” The bombardment was very heavy on Saturday, and everything was going on favorably. Boats, under flags of truce, were engaged in exchanging ; the wounded on both sides. The Charleston papers contain some very in- teresting and curious accounts of the siege since its commencement, extracts from which are given in another column. We also give a very full list of our wounded at Charleston and those returned by the enemy, as well as the names of the dead, | as far as can be ascertained, within the rebel lines. may leave General Banks for the present, with the fullest confidence of the best results. With the capture of Vicksburg the powerful army of General Grant was released for active operations elsewhere; and, promptly availing himself of bis advantages, he puts a portion of his forces at once on the trail of Joe Johnston. They pursue him into his fortifica- tions at Jackson, they shell him out, they drive him off into Alabama, and the State of Missis- sippi is clear of the last of its rebel armies. It is now generally believed that Joe Johnston is endeavoring to form a junction with Bragg; but should Grant attempt to pursue Johnston’s broken columns across the State Alabama it is probable that the chase would occupy him all the summer without any profitable result. Nor can we imagine that the great army of General Grant is to be wasted upon any such wild goose chase. One-half of it, with the co-operating fleet of Admiral Farragut, will be sufficient for Mobile, while the other half might be moved up to the army of Rosecrans, or to the Richmond peninsula in support of the army of Meade. We rely upon General Rose- crans to liberate East Tennessee completely and permanently, and whether he shall then advance into Georgia, South or North Carolina, or into Virginia, we are willing to leave to his sound judgmént ‘and discretion. We have not the same faith in the wise heads of the War Office. The malign radical influences | which, since the beginning of the war, have been so fruitful of disappointments and disas- ters, are still in full play at Washington.

It has become a familiar proverb that the Union general who is the most remote from Washington is the most certain of success, while he who is directly under the eyes and noses of the War Office is the most likely to fail. We appeal from the War Office to the Presi- | dent. We look to him, as the responsible Com- United States, to bring this war to an end. There is a horde of jobbers, contractors and shoddy men at Washington whose interests de- pend upon an indefinite prolongation of the war.

TT Rt Counterb tiomal Evidence of the Radical Con- epiracy. The reply of Brevet Brigadier General Brown to the official reports of Generals Wool and Sandford, relative to the late riot in this city, has made its appearance and was published in yesterday’s Hxr@ip. We will give him the credit of some ingerfuity in getting up his de- fence; but he neither denies nor refutes the charges made by his superior officers. On the other hand, his manifest assumption of power, marked prevarications and the part that he admits he played during the disturbances fur- . have one result. It will arouse the fears ani hi % nish additional proof that the fanatical os jealousies of Great Britain, who will in the cals determined to bring about a revolution our city, a conflict between the State and na- tional authorities, tary governor; and that General Brown was their tool in this work no other conclusion can mander-in-Chief of the armies and navy of the } be derived from the General’s singular defence. His statement, even without the official reports of Generals Wool and Sandford, conclusively settles the point that a radical conspiracy existed in this city, from which we have been rescued as if by a miracle. * In the first place, General Brown asserts that he reported to General Wool in the capacity of “military commander -of the city of New York,” a position that he claimed he held un- der the orders of the Secretary of War. Now, General Brown, as it is well knowa, was sent here as the commander of certain fortifications in our harbor, his official authority was limited to those for- tifications. The commander of the Navy Yard might just as well assume that he was com- mander of the city of Brooklyn as General Brown that he was commander of this city. Had he been stationed in the harbor of one of the seceded States his case might have been different. The city of New York being tho- roughly loyal, no such assumption of power can be justified. Even if any such idea could be construed, General Wool was in command of the Department of the East, of which the city of New York forms a portion. General Brown was, therefore, subject to General Wool’s orders, and only liable to such duty in this city as that General ordered him to perform. When cleared up it may perhaps be shown that the little Satanic Committee telegraphed to Wash- ington and obtained a special order from Sec- retary Stanton for General Brown to act in that capacity for the very purpose of aiding them in carrying out their atrocious schemes. Otherwise General Brown clearly assumed power that did not belong to him. The riot was puyely a local affair; and the duty and power of putting it down rested exclusively in the hands of the local and State authorities. Mayor Opdyke was so “paralyzed by fear” that Governor Seymour had to take it in hand. He then was the person chief in command. This fact General Wool, who had first come to the assistance of the Mayor, fully recognized, and therefore in all his action consulted with the Governor and General Sand- ford, who was in command of the militia of this division, and rendered them all the assistance in his power. The correctness of Wool’s action is fully shown by the course taken by Generals Dix and Canby on their arrival here to super- sede Wool and Brown. It is therefore to be inferred that such is the view taken of the mat- ter by the administration at Washington. Gene- yal Brown, however, as shown by Generals Wool’s and Sandford’s reports, not only refused to co-operate with them, but we have additional proof that he insulted those whom Governor Seymour sent to advise with him, and declared that he would receive no orders from the Gov- ernor. The authorities at Washington showed | their appreciation of his services by supersed- | ing him at the earliest possible moment. It was reported during the riots that General Brown was in a very excited condition. His defence very clearly proves that he has not recovered from it yet. In one place he states that “the only order he received from General Wool was to send a force to relieve all the mystery connected with this affair is | ®t Panama | Colonel Wynkoop,” and that “he had no recol- lection of any other order during the four days | of the riot.” A little further along, however, | he stateg that he received an order from Genera} Woo) placing all t ‘oops under the | ana or Generat ana ford. ok was that General Brown asked to be relieved, but | afterwards, on the advice of Blunt and Opdyke, requested to be reinstated. This ad- ! radicals, with Greeley at their head, to ruin this city by bringing about a conflict between the Presidential Election.

Probable End of the Entente Cordiale Between France and England. Napoleon’s Mexican scheme will doubtless conquest of the Mexican republic by the with martial law and a mili- | French the commencement of a new era in the commercial a8 well as military history of Napoleon’s empire. England is proud of her immense commercial prosperity, and always observes with jealousy the attempts of all other Powers to rival her in this her boasted sphere. From this feeling arises her desire to see the people of the United States divided. It is this feeling which has caused the evident favor of the aristocratic and wealthy commercial classes throughout England towards the seceded States. Great Britain fully understands that our com- mercial resources are greater than hers, and that in us she had a rival fast outstripping her most successful ventures. She saw that our tural imme, advan’ were as yet oe Pe et into ae, 4 Te Was as Svt- dent to her as to all the world that we were destined to be the great Power of the universe. It is but natural that England should have viewed us with an envious eye, and that she rejoiced when the rebellion broke out, and fostered it as much as she dared. But now arises a new source of discomfort and dread for England. The Emperor of the French has succeeded in obtaining the mastery over the Mexican republic, and proves by his actions that he intends to foster the resources of the country, never as yet fully cultivated, while his programme includes no less a scheme than the cutting of s canal at Panama to con- nect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Suez Canal being in his possession, another canal would give him a great con- trol over the commerce of the world, and England may well feel alarmed by the present movements of Napoleon, who, although he has not realized the great schemes of his uncle in the Old Wovrid, is now obtain- ing a foothold in the New. This invasion of the American continent by France at this epoch has its parallel in the invasion of Egypt by the First Napoleon, which so frightened Great Britain, who saw in that movement an attempt to take from her the Indian empire. In England it is well understood that every stride towards commergial greatpess made by Napoleon is sO inuch los3 to Jobn Bull; and when you touch his pocket he is ever very quick at resentment. To add to the uneasiness felt by the English government at Napoleon’s present movements will be the fact that his Majesty may now be tempted to carry out some alliance with Davis, which will give him, in a great measure, the control of the cotton, sugar and: tobacco crops of the South. This England could never stand, and we dare assert that she would in such a case at once make common cause with the North against both—the seceded States and the Emperor Napoleon. England will understand that she would have more to dread from an alliance between Davis and France than from the reunited States, and she will, we feel as- sured, work against such a consummation, which is evidently entertained by the ambi- tious and nowise serupulous ruler of France and the equally scheming envoys of the rebel Davis. We should not be astonished to hear at any moment that an English fleet was cruising in the Gulf of Mexico, with purposes far from friendly to the “august ally” of perglde Albion. The entente cordiale, which for years has existed but in name, must weigh heavily upon Great Britain, who would doubtless throw it off with good will. France has no faith in the entente; and where both parties are 8o distrustful a rupture is easily accomplished. In all this we have our part to play. The wily raler of France has seized upon the mo- ment of our trouble to insult our government by taking possession of a country which we cannot allow him to keep, as the very fact of his possession is in direct opposition to our well of the coming Presidential election, particu- larly the Cabinet at Washington, who, accord- ing to Wendell Phillips, have constituted themselves a general committee of managment to secure the succession in 1864. It is not true, however, that the whole Cabinet are a unit either in policy or as to the man for the time. Two of the number are candidates, and conse- plays them against each other. Seward, the most* conservative of the Cabinet, and Chase, the most radical, who give fine dinners at Waah- ington and intrigue throughout the States, are “laying pipe” each fer himself; and Stan- of which Secretary Welles boasts ae much, was in no sense of the word created by the Navy Department.

But whatever may be the differences of the members of the Cabinet among themselves, they re agreed upon one point, and that is to keep down all successful and aspiring generals; for such men would be sure to be most popular throughout the country, and would endanger the safety of all of the administration pro- grammes. A game of political chess is being played, the next Presidency being the prize. The moves on the chessboard depend very much upon the succeas or failure of the move- ments of the different armies in the field. If Washington be in danger, one of these generals will be duly appreciated for the time being; but that over, measures will be speedily adopted to check his career, and advantage will be taken of his slightest mistake or misfortune to first snub him, and finally to get rid of him. Meade, for instance, who, like McClellan, saved Washington from capture and the North from being overrun by a victorious army, is already held up by Mr. Stanton’s organs to publi odium because he did not destroy Lee's army in a second battle before it crossed the Peto- mac. Nor have we any doubt that the friends of Secretary Stanton, in the council of war held at the headquarters of General Meade to determine whether Lee ought to be attacked or not, gave their advice against the attack, be-’ cause success would have made Gen. Meade the next President. He ought therefore to have depended on his own judgment, and not to have listened to the advice of bis subordinates. He may consider himself booked for removal be- fore long. There is another able general who is in im- minent danger, and that is Gen. Grant, the man of the West. His success bas been extremely brilliant, and that constitutes his peril. An- other victory and he is undone, if indeed he is not already destined to a place on the shelf. Good care will be taken that Grant ob- tains no more successes, unless by the most extraordinary good luck. He must not be permitied to be a candidate for the ; Presidency. Nor has General Banks, an Eastern man, who has made his mark in the Southwest, any better chance. Rosecrans, another good general, bas been crippled and prevented from accomplishing anything great, because his reputation was beginning to loom up and he seemed a dangerous man to administra- tion Presidential candidates. For the same rea- son Butler need not expect any important com- | mand, nor Fremont, both being candidates on | their own hook. It is, as we have said, like a game of chess. Stanton moves the pieces on one side of the board, sacrificing one and | | sometimes another piece in order to secure his | final object. But the time will come when the Secretary of the War Department will find himself checkmated—played out and utterly | baffled by the tide of events. 7 | The Mismanagement | See ry Welles—Mo © Navy Department. , We published yesterday the interesting in- | telligence that the rebel privateer Florida is still at large, capturing and burning our vessels | and repairing her damages in English ports. We commend this news to the special atten- | tion of Secretary Welles. It is the best possi- ble commentary upon his mismanagement of the Navy Department for the past three years. If that department continues to be conducted asit has been under the present administra- tion it will be absurd to talk of a war with any European Power. France or Eugland could | role to play in favor of oppressed humanity, and that such impediments as he endeavors to sweep our squadrons from the sens, and devas- | tate our commerce with the most perfect ease. throw in their way will be swept aside like | What the rebels have been able to aceomplish | cobwebs.

Then we shall be enabled to turn | of the venerable, imbecile and blundering Sec- our attention to the filibustering schemes of | retary of the Navy. What Englamf or France the kind efforts of our neutral friends in Bng- land. Notone of these privateers has been captured or destroyed by our navy. The bold landsmen of Portland have done more against rebel privateers than all our ships-of-war. The gallant engagement of Captain Blake, of the Hatteras, with the rebel Alabama, and the blockade of the Sumter in Gibraltar harbor by the Tuscarora, Captain Craven, are almost the only instances of enterprise on the part of otr ocean navy, if we except the useless capture of Slidell and Mason by Captain Wilkes. But, unfortunately, the Alabama sunk the Hatteras, and the Sumter is now again at sea, with anew name and a heavier arma ment, and Slidell and Mason had to be given up to England; so that we cannot believe that Secretary Welles will claim any very great credit for theee naval exploits, whatever may be said in praise of our officers and sailors, who did their utmost, under the circumstances and with the means at their disposal. Who, then, is to blame that these means were and are so small? Who allows staunch, fast ships, like the ic and Atlantic, to lie rotting at dir doe i ise Wo five per cont argument fs used to utge their employment? Who senda old tubs in chase of fleet privateers when fast vessels might be had for the asking? Who re- fases not only to capture the rebel privateers, but also to issue letters of marque, and thus aathorize our willing merchants to cap- ture them? Why, our sapient Secre- tary of the Navy. We respectfully de- mand that President Lincoln shall con- sider these facts. The course of events makes it extremely probable that we shall soon be engaged in a war with France. It is the part of wisdom and prudence to begin to pre- pare for this struggle before war is actually de- clared. The iron-clad vessels of France must not surprise us as the Merrimac did. Ina word, Secretary Welles must either vacate the Navy Department in favor of a better man, or must immediately begin to conduct the department with energy and efficiency, or else our navy will be as completely at the mercy of a for- | eign Power as our commerce is now at the mer- cy of the rebel privateers.
