Hy W© can take no notice of anonymous cooimuai- tST We do not return rejected manuscripts. ■STTolantarycorressoDdraM solicited from »U parts of the t orld, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When need, it will be paid for. The obanb abmy of iha Potomac moves at last! In moves like a well-balanced ma-: chine, with'ease, and to advantage. Careful that the enemy, now concentrated in his strength around Richmond, should not Bank ■or ovei power any of his division J ,‘ MoCi.bli.an las drawn in the outstretched members of his ■ military body, and- fo'ded them upon the bosom of the. noble James river, thus cover ing bis entire left flank with .someth i; better •than a Btone fort—a deep, broad," rapid, and navigable stream. Concentration adds won derfully to the effectiveness of an army. An army, concentrated cannot be beaten in detail. Under./ a sktlifal commander, its progress ‘Can :: ;impeded but temporarily by any Opposing lorce. It can be launched upon an , cbjtct an important" post dr point, with au overwhelming-effect. It can nttdrty destroy an , oppo-ing force, its numerical superior, when the latter is hot concentrated or har moniously and skillfully manoeuvred. . The Chickahdminy, with its'bogs,' swamps, and quagmires, flows silently on in the rear of the army before Richm ;nd, forming; the bast of rear-guards of it.el , and a retl defence with our gunboats en its wite-s and along the Pamunky. The rebels cannot cross the latter river w thout bridges, and the presence of our gunboa'swil deter them Horn building any, or even throwing over pontoons- Indeed, McClellan has struck at theyitaU of the Re bellion, and, -ike a wounded serpent, coßadont of inability to movo - w .y, she nestle- aul re coils e.os: by lo ; wait the duaf'-o ow. The rebels can-ot go South—their retreat is threat ened by our gunboats; they cannot-go to the mountains in she Tl'est", for there they most Btai ve; they c suot come North, for there they will mcet ilts.artv'ttßciDg forces of Pope, Sioel, Bank-", and McDowell, and have McClellan Jn their i ear. The strategy is plain—the death Struggle is at hand. Our transport. arc safe, and will have a better river to navigate:"The Richmond and Tork-river lEMlriM' has to the line of the Chiekabommy, and that be tween' that'-liver arid "Ricbmoud is beld,’and .wiUibA used, by but troops. Our'iron-clad; fleet at City, Point., is, now,ready to.render its assistance to the troops-in crossing the James liver, and. in advancing up its banks. .The s-tratogica’ genius of - our generals is de veloping i’se’f legitimately and successfully, and tboujh in the recent*three days’ conflict we lave l ist touio of our bravest aui best men} we have much reason to rejoice over the victorious and advantageous results of. the movement. - . Wf. can itiw glue no more affectionate as sembly than tile Conservative G-ngre-ss. Its meetings a»e the summer recreations of our troubled friends in the cipitil. They go far towards enger.dvriug habits of social and friendly intercourse, and enable our budn-ss bilrderied and care-oppressed Representatives to. throw off. the troubles of the State. . Thera are not many, but this .-has advantages, for then we have no quarrels, no unseemly dif ferences of opinion. It enables some of our misunderstood Representatives to show traits of'cbaracfcr'wbich the country had never given them The credit of posst-ssiog; "We find that Mr. EionAßiisoN can be facetious and genial; that Mr. Cox can be serious;" that Mr; Biddle can be indefinite, vague, and conciliatory. Then we have little exhibitions of pleasantry, good feeling, and mutual which are, quite charming.:, .It -is very evident that, no matter what a call-ms world may say or do, these conservative gentlemen have determined to k-.ejp, their temper, and, if not properly appreciated by others, to. " properly, appreciate , theriisolves. Mr. Pouke gfavoly informs his friends that th air meeting is the most important ever/ held, arid Mr. Rollins felicitates himself upon "the fact that be was Engaged in an' organ izatiqn for exercising a saying, influence" upon -th-f country. ' Then we "have a lengthy series of reso utions, which we bare honestly, en deavored to analyz a , but which are still before ais in their elaborate mystery. Wes are told they are in tend od to explain Mr. CurraESDEs’s sesqiutlori— -and yet we fee! that we w mid be undergoing great obligations to whoever would endeavor to Explain their explanation. We do; not care to accept meaningless phrases for a poliiical creed. They are iu- Bipid and unsatisfactory. ; When any body writes “that tire true interests of the coun try, : s tve'l: ns the dictates of humanity, re- . quire that no more war or acts of war should |>e presented or done than are necessary and proper lor the prompt and complete' suppres sion of the rebellion,” wo know that It is non sense, and iost nctively feel like, throwing it: in, the waste-paper basket/ among the daily - contributions inflicted upon, us by Constant Jtoaders and Piiends of Truth. When a per son about “ component and essenti >1 parts of the Union,” we are convinced that : lie docs not' know what he says, or does , lot mean it. It is very easy to. see what Is the case with our conservative Congress men. They give os their opinions on twenty subjects—we merely asked for their definite opinion npou one. They speak about essen tials and components, explanations and re affirmations, St-ite .mcesdties and pleasing a surances, noble purposes and sectional * Schemes, when the country cares as little a' out these points as it does about Mr. Bm mrn’s theoiies on camp-life at Langley’s, or Mr. Cox’s experiences at Constantinople and on the Bosphorus. All we care about kuow _ Sng is what do these men in’end to do in the progress of the present struggle 1 Will they lie with the . Administration nnto the end, in its war upon foes in the field and foes at home, or will they continue a half hearted support-, asd gradually become open assailants of its course and policy 1 ,We are very much afraid that on this vital, point there can be little doubt. It is not wh at they think, but, what they have done. . We give these resolutions to the fire, as so much ; fuel, and take up the journals of Congress. ,| Here we have the conservative members of ] Congress precisely as they are,— stripped of sophistry, and rhetoric, and plausibility. They may talk as they please, on these plea sant summer evenings, aad elaborate adjectives and adveabs beyond comprehension or .cricu-; lationj their retains are not those of unqiies-; tioning and nnrtpining friends of the country. They are loyal, and true, and able,—many of them hare made gn at sacrifices,—such men as CniTTisDEN ahd Pueim are dear to all who can appreciate a statesman and a soldier; but when the qua tion it upon vital and necess try measures for | rosecuiing the war, their names are too often found against the Admiiiistra- i:on, This fact overbalances and overburdens «.very icsolulion, and, speech, and sentiment, and gives ns ranse for pain and regret. Pew Yosk has an eternal jealousy of Phi- J ddjhiai For some time past Now York has anxiously envied.us the possession of the best «irganiv,ed, best managed, and most economical Mint in the world. Just now New York is severely- exercised, through the Tribune, be-"?. cimstAthire is a prospect of a new Navy Yaird_, being constructed in Philadelphia. Yesterday’s Tribune professes to learn, from its naval reports, “ that the officers of the navy are protesting against the location of a new Navy Yard on League Island, which the City Government of Philadelphia has given * gratuitously’ to the Government of the Uni ted States,’-' and adds: « As the grant con sists of over lour thousand acres of laud, it is not surprising that Congress has listened at tentively to Mr. Gbjmes’s eulogy of its tnuni- Scence.” Wfi wish that League Island did: consist of ” over four thousand ; acres of land,” instead of'j hundred, which is its en tire extent—but still a very liberal-gift to be «donated” (as the vulgar saying is) from fataUon of v this, the dele getion from, tbe, Board of Trade placed the official GovernmLnt survey of thepe channeb, made last fall, before the Sayel.Committees to-day.
