THERE CAN BE BUT LITTLE npunrlhat Gen: BEAEREGARD has gone to Richmond, althsugh it is hardly probible that he was accompanied by any force. Thev are several reasons as signed for this movement on the part of the rebel general. Sotie regard it as a piece of strategy, of which the evacuation of Corinth vas but, the preliminary operation, some as on abandonment of the Misaissippi Valley in despair to the Union army, while others think that General McCr,eLtax is Melia- cing Richmond so closely that all the mili tary power and genius of the Confederacy must be consolidated for its defence. So far as the valley of the Mississippi is con cerned, the stringent rule of General Bunsa at New Orleans, the rapid and decisive move ment of Commodore FA RRAGOT in tbe Missis sippi river, and the genius of HALMS in northern Mi's!ssippi, have completely re esta blished the Union power. With the excep tion of Vicksburg, and points contiguonito it, we have now the full control of the Mississip pi river. At this place there is a crossing into Arkansas. Thus far it seems to have been used only as a means of escape for timid Go vernors and panic-stricken traitors. The fear was generally enter•aioed that BEAURE GA ma, in leaving Corinth, would throw his whole force across the Mississippi, overwhelm CURTIS, in Arkansas, and advance on St. Louis. Indeed, thi4 theory possesses more importance than s! me of our' friends will be willing to give it. We have had upon our table, for some days, a strange volume, entitled .ce Summary of the . Art of War, by Eaua Sonata." In this book be devotes a chapter to the war in the United States, and reasons out, upon the principles of military science, the probable result of the pending campaign. Ile assumes the North to have 700,000 troops, and the South 500,000; the object of the North to be the destruction of the Southern army and the penetration into the heart of the rebellious States. He sup poses our army to be divided thus : Army of the Potomac, 200,000 men, base of operations the Potomac, orders to take Richmond, to ad vance on North Carolina, and occupy Georgia. The army of Furt Monroe, 100,000 men, base of operations Fortress Monroe, orders to co-operate with the army of the Potointe. Reserve surly of 75,000 men divided in the depots, arsenals, forts, towns, and seaports of the Eastern States. The Kentucky army of 100,000 men, base ot operations the Ohio, with orders to clear Kentucky and Tennessee f the rebels, and to advance into Alabama. The army in Missouri ot 100,000 men, bise operations the Mississippi, orders to cleat Missouri and Arkansas of the rebels, advance to the Swint, cross the Mississippi, and occupy New Orloons. Reserve army for the Kentucky and Missouri armies, 50,000 men, to be distributed on the passages acrestethe sisSippi sod Ohio. The army of Port Royal; 50,000 men, base of operations the Vatted States fleet, wilt orders to occupy South Carolina. The army In Western Virginia, 25,000 men, base of operations the Ohio, with orders to occupy Western Virginia. The rebel army he disposes in proper numbers for the Potomac, at Norfolk, at. Richmond, in Sotithern Kentucky, in Southern Mis souri, and on the Memphis and Huftsv3le Railroad, at Port Royal, and in Western Virginia. Idr. &wax anticipates twe very remarkable military movers, nts— namely, the advance on Richmond, by way of Fortress Monroe, and the battle of Corinth. The advance on Fort ress Monroe, I e s !a—writing, it must be re membered, last summer—must be irresistible.. Whatever may he its loss, whatever may be • the difficulties in its way, our army must snr mount them; i , must defeat the army opposed to it, force its way through any obstacle, and ; must arrive al Willlamsbarg, from whence must proceed to New Kent and Richmond. This last town is to taken by assault, and as Roes as this is accomplished the army has fulfilled its nearest object. Ihe rebels' policy he as mimes to be the concentration of their forces by ft e right choice of their lines of operalions; by acting concentric in their defence, and al- +mays making use of their interior lines. In attacking they act divergently, and isolate the different Union armiis between . them by 'Roping np central positions, atid by acting with superior force against each isolated Union army. The battles of Bull Rue, Winchtster, Front Royal, and Cross Keys show how literally the rebels here carried out this ,plan of uarfare. And then comes the reasoning of the author as to the effect of the Potonaao campaign, when the rebal . army has drivun back the army which General. Berms comManded. They would advance on Wash ington by way of Point of Rocks, or cut off the line of communication in theirear of Bal timore, or make an advance into Southern Pt nnsylvania beyond the Alleghenies. This was evidently Itmcsox's idea ; in winning his victory on the Shenandoah he accompli4hed a tine stragetical movement, which was only •rendered fruitless by the fine generalship of BANKS in making a successful retreat, and the energy of the War Department in sending bim reinforcements. Although defeated in the field, we really gained a victory, for we defended Washington, secured Maryland, and drove JAOKSON down the Valley. Mr. Sonata reasoned out a rebel victory, and perhaps by the looks his reasoning was right. The energy and shill of the Northern commanders chew ed the result and spoiled his prophecies. Let us turn to the West. Our author's reasoning here is of more interest to us now than on the Potomac, audit will be seen how remarkably accurate he has been in his anti cipations. When Lis book was 'written, the rebels were at Bowling Green and Columbus; PRICE was at Lexington, and. ParaStitiS at Cairo. In the natural course of war, he says, Kentucky must be evacuated by the . rebels, who would be forced out of Tennessee. The dine of this evacuation is precisely the line of ALBERT SIDNEY JOiltraTON'S retreat—along tho railroad to Nashville, and from thence through Tennessee to a point in Northern Alabama, near Decatur. Le.e, he says; the first con centration of the Northern and Southern armies must take place. The rebel armies would leave 3f'ssourl rind Arkansas, and give the united Union armies battle. When we remember that this was a conclusion based on :scientific war 'pi Mei pies, and formed months ago, its correctness is startling. The rebels • did evacuate Missouri and a great part of Arkansas; PR'CE and VAN Dons crossed the Mississippi, and united with the army that left Kentucky under Jonsisros.. The battle of Shiloh was fought; not at Decatur, it is true, . but at a point almost in the same latitude, and • on the same line of retreat, as that marked out .by our author. Whore IS BEAUREOARD'S army? Mr. SCHALK has Vert so fortunate in his .anticipa tons that we may get him to answer this 'ques tion, and so lye return to his Volume. He an• ticlpates tho ccueentration of either army and a battle in . Northern Alabama. He thinks the'rebelswou'dgitin . a'victoiy by reason of SIUSCII of Eupelioiity.ind :their .having a chcriee'of an assaulting: position.' This WAS prevented by the Tromptness of Bum at Pittsburg Lai ding, but it did not change the result anticlpaled by Mr. Sew+ nw—the con- , cuntration of both armies. We know that BALLEM and BaaI:REGARD were opposite each oth4r for- weeks at Corinth, and Mit, B/CAURICOAIID abandoned his position, retreat ing to come point not yet definitely ascertain ed. Mr. Scumar says that an enterprising and experienced general would naturally move on Memphis, cross the Mississippi into North ern Arkansas, overwhelm the Missouri army which might be there, and which is there un der Germs, and advance on St. Louis. The Mississippi would be betwixt him and his toe, the valley of the Missisrippi would of necessi ty be abandoned, but. the war would become offensive, and in a fewAlays the rebel com mander would be in St. Louis—'" a result;" which Mr. SCHALK drily observes, "would be anfficient for a very enterprising army and general." We have Memphis, and it is impos slide for a foe to cross there, but we have not Vicksburg, and at Vicksburg Ih' rebels hold communication with Northern Louisiana and Southern Arkansas. If REAIIREGARD'S army nt to Okolona, Vicksburg would be in the line of a further retreat: There can be no harm in following the speculations of this ingenious military student. His scheme in regard to the Potomac army was spoiled by the skill and energy of FIIs -31051T and BANirs,*but our friends in Western Penns) lvania will be gratified to know that bad affairs gone on according to the books; bad JACKSON been wrong enough to bold his place at Winchester, there would have buss a great battle at Pittsburg ! It would hive bean the greatest battle of the war, and, according to Dire. Semitic, the concluding - one. Ills theories about the West will be read with amusement by, those who care to study this war on maps as a matter of science tthd strategy. Our recent victor) , at White river utterly pre vents abythingbke an advance through Arkan sas; however, and St. Louis is secure from the dangers in store for her by Mr. Sonata. TIIERE rs sor there ought to be an Inter national, as well as a Domestic Association of people who mind their own business, and do" not interfere in the business of other people.. Ever since we have become a Nation, ive have scrupulously not meddled with concerns which do not belong to uB. Were we so minded, we might have made a . casus kW out of the awful brute ity of the British Government in Ireland,.in 1798, when fr.nocent men bad their ears cropped and were flogged to death, tinder • the Castlereagh- Pierrnford regime, during a Rebellion which Parr had himself provoked, and, we may say, coaxed into mattnity, in order to effect the ac cursed parchment Union, which utterly de stroyed the Legislative Independence of Ire lard. We might have protested, when, in 1819, a mob of armed yeomanry cut down and pistolled an' unarmed crowd of peaceable re formers who bad assembled at Peterlod, near Manchester, to prepare a petition to Pariin went in favor of that Parliamentary Reform which was granted in 1832. We might have denounced, as it deserved, the foul means by which England, from 1884 to 1848, persisted in thrusting Opium, that accursed drug, upon the unfortunate Chinese, in order to swell the r. vFinue Of the East India Company, now hap pily defunct. We might have-and, perhaps, as a Christian nation, we ought have—made a public manifestation, before God' and 'Man; against the truly infernal practice, in 1857-58, •of blowing eg rebels" from the cannon's mon:h in India. • We refrained, however-strong our feelings were, as Christian men. And how has this retcence been acknowledged ? Are we let alone ? Are we, doing no ill, but simply doing what is right under the circumstances—are we to be interfered with Exactly thirteen days, the British Parliament impertinetly interfered with our affairs. Tho Bad CARNARVON, a young gentleman who was co'onial Under Secretary of State in the lest Derby-Disraeli Ministry, denounced Gene ral BUTLER'S proclamation ordering that such New Orleans "ladies" as should insult the .Union flag or its brave-defenders, should be committed to the Calaboose, the place of tem loamy detention for € 6 social evil" ladies and trlier Mingle violators of the law. Lord Res ins, ; (the ^ effete Johnny, who upset the cotieh,") expressed his Lopes that the. Amer-- cat:t •Goyersment would promptly disavow it. In the -Commons, Sir Jona W•ALSH, an aged Tory, declared the Proclamation to be repug• mot to the feelings of the nineteenth century. One GREGORY, who is believed to be in the pay 'of the .South—Guaoßy who was 'expelled the Joaky Club for "sharp practice"—de eared it to be "repugnant to decency, civili zation, and humanity," and Lord PALMER- Erroiq declared it to be cc infamous," and 04 no one of the Anglo-Saxon race should or could countenance. Anglo-Saxon 7 Is that all that PALMERSTON,- (gc the judicious bottle-holder," as Punch calls him,) knows of this great country ? We are ball Celtic, we have a strong Germanic infu sion. The remainder is Anglo-Saxon, et cetera, and constitutes a minority. Now, what is the fact? General BUTLER found females in New Orleans, wh, would have been mightily insulted if any one called them women, - according to their sex, and claim ed the title of ladies. He found the Union flag and the Union soldiers and sailors con stantly and audaciously insulted by these si ladies," He ordered that any female, what ever her pretensions, Who ,should continuo that base conduct, should be cousicitE4l)d con tumacious, after his notice, and put into the calaboose, the ordinary place of contheme& for ill-conducted females. That is the head and tient of his offundir g. [0? course, women, whether in or out of crinoline, are never taken up for bad conduct, in London, and brought up, next day, to answer for their miedotugs The immediate result was this, the she-rebels concluded that General BUTLER was greatly in earnest, and have since conducted themselves so inoffensively, to our glorious flag and our brave soldiers, that not one of them, after BuTLER'S proclamation, was committed to the calaboose or to any other place of confine ment. General BUTLER has. done many bold and wise things in New Orleans, but one of his most judicious acts was thus letting the female-Secessionists know that if they in sulted. the cc Stars and Stripes ," or any man :Who .. defended them, their: punish ment would be immediate. !Fun' had a Southern she-rebel been put, into the dreaded calabootie, her person would have been as inviolate, under the protection of Nationsl arms and National law, as it she had been at home in her own parlor, smoking cigarettes or chewing Scotch snuff. Lord PAL3IERSTON, grounding his opinion on BEAUREGARD'S misrepresentation of the word ing and meaning of BUTLER'S proclamation, has deviated from his wonted affectation of neutrality and fairly committed himself. The American-Phobia was in and would be out--: and was, at the wrong time. The Prime . Minister of England has grossly and gratui tously insulted and libelled the American na tion and its Government. Are we to turn the other cheek to the too-ready blow? , THE PRESS, of yesterday, contained a com munication giving the, aggregate of the Union fUrces killed and wounded in the • Revo lutionary war. It may, perhapa, interest.our readers to know the aggregate of killed, Wounded, and.missing tithe war. of 1812.45. In that war, there were forty-four battles fought on land and twenty-two at sea.

Wls PRINTRD, yesterday all Illhirilee:Of r th9 : suggestive•remarks of Hon.lartittilV 4 GßlNZS, Sens* in Congress from loers• in favor of: the proposition made by the authorities agile. .City to transfer to the Federal Government League Island, near this city, as a site for a new navy yard. Mr. GRIMES his devoted great attention to the subject, and will give all Lie energies to induce Congress to accept this generous offer. In resdiog the short speech of the Senator from lowa, which was listened to with much attention daring its delivery on Tuesday, and will undoubtedly be telloVied by good results, we were astounded at the insignificance ot, our facilities for build ir,&ships compared with the resources and establishments of England and _France. In view of our great future, and the daily proofs that both these Powers regard us with uncon cealed jealonsy, and one of them, at least, with unconcealed hatred, the duty of prepara- tion, so ably and eloquently - enforced by Se nator GRIMES, cannot be avoided by our rulers and representatives. In' fact, the picture pre sented in this_ remarkable speech creates the itnpresion of our hailiating naval interiority. We are this day in absolute nerd of SI groat navy yard. The late letter of the Secretary of the Navy on this subject was but a Mat on this went question, and the observations of Mr. Gamma amplify and elaborate his idea. We must expend money in order to entitle ourselves to the reputation we so boastfully claim. Our iron-clad slips must be increased in number, and in order to effect this object our navy yards must be enlarged. Our City Cofincils have made a proposition which Con gress cannot, with due regard to the public interest, decline. Of course, our manufactu. rers and mechanics will be assisted and. encou. raged in such 'an event, but the accruing ad vantages to the Government itself will be in calculable. Not only will the Federal.autbo rities secure a splendid naval establishment, around which fiesta may safely anchor, but, in which the 4 4 Ironsides" of tbe seas may b 3 commenced and completed with equal rapidity and cheapness. The thanks of our whole com munity are eminently due to the distinguished Senator from lowa for the research and ability he has displayed in discussing this important question. Ile has made the navy his chief study, and, in co-operation with Secretary WELLss, and his progressive assistant., Mr. Fox, has conferred honor upon himself and his country in pushing forward every invention and improvement essential to this important arm of the pnblid service. • While on this subject, and in view of the im perative duty of Congress in the matter of de veloping our maritime resources, we cannot avoid reference to. the celebrated Stevens battery. Mr. EDWIN A. STEVENS, the brother of the inventor of that great engine of naval warfare, is now in the city of Washington. It will be remembered that early in the present session of Congress, a bill was passed making an appropriation of $783,000 for the comple tion of this battery, subject to the dis3retion of the Secretary of the Navy. The Federal Go vernment bad expended nearly half a million of on battery, and Mr. STEV S NS some three hundred thousand dollars. The commission to which the Seeretiry referred the measure reported that the battery could not be com pleted unless certain alterations and improve • mcnts were made, and here the matter rested; but Mr. STEVENS is now iii Washiogton, and yesterday made a proposition to tonvess and the Administration to complete the battery out of his own funds. He asks that the Govern ment should convey .to him all ,its right and title to the Stevens battery, and cancel the moitgage given by his brother ROBERT for the faithful performance of his contradt, and he then. Muds himself under a penalty of $lOO,OOO to finish it out of bis own funds, as a war steamer, in one year, to throw a heavier broailaide than any war steamer in the world now throws, and after its copipletion, the Government shall have the option of bu) ing it $783,000, the amount of its appropriation, and its estimated cost by the late board. Should the Govern- meat refuse to accept it, it will then become the property of Mr. Srsvarnr. In other words, 'this public-spirited citizen offers to run the risk of an expenditure equal to the amount of the late appropriation, out of bis private for tune, thus Fhowing his. own confidence in this great hattery, , and bis patriotic devotion to the country. We trust that the same spirit which called forth the fine speech, of Mr. Gauss will also induce him to advocate this generous offer of Mr. STEVENS. - LETTER FROM. 6 , OCCASIONAL." Monday and yesterday were days to be re membered. We were on . the very tip-toe of expectation and excitement. Ready 'to be lieve every rumor of a battle before Richmond, because it had been pertinaciously predicted by all the prophets, everybody gave currency to the reports of a everybody else," until at last both houses of Congress wore in a whirl of confusion. I think I met a score of gen tlemen who had come direct from the' War Department, and who were very sure that the conflict was raging before the capital •of the Southern Confederacy. Then, the President was missing ! Where had Iflr. LincOln gone? He was not at the Presidential mansion. Tho office-seekers and gossips could not find him. The doorkeepers gave inconsistent sug gestions as to_his. whereabouts, and the places whichthe curious were sent after him were preyed not to contain him. Of course, the President was at White House, or Fair Oaks or in "front of Richmond." Then came the costive flies-ages from the War be partment, "No news," " Arquiet along the lines." At last the conviction became . general that the conflict was raging, and that a fa hours would decide it. So passed Monday and-Tuesday. And yet on 'Wednesday, the 211th of June, we have no definite news of a battle at ,Richmond. The imminent nearness of . the conflict induces everybody to believe it is now progressing, and heightens expectation and . excitement. When it comes, however bloody its progress, its issue will be a most de cisive 'one. The rebels may evacuate' Rich mend, but * .in that event their- fate would be worse than a surrender or a defeat The spectators of this great struggle for free government whose interests lie directly in the defeat of the Federal arms are the' British Aristocracy and the sympathizers with Seces sion.
