One of the wonder, which this w» t has bro.ught forth i 8 the sudden creation of a powerful Nary. Nothing, probably, in the !»“ h,,lor { « f ‘ho world can compare with sttch remarkable celerity. When the rebel lion firat commenced, the United States gov onnmenthadbut two or three war vessel, ) 1 h >O C , -Atlantic coast, with five or six in h , fof Mexico. At the present lime, as , 6 . Carn f rom Washington, the government m commission about two hundred and twenty-five vessels, with eighty on the «ooks, forty of which will be completed within a period of three months. The vessels of war now in commission ore perfectly competent to assail half a dozen pointsion tho Southern coast, and to throw the whole coast line of tho rebels into «- stacies of terror. Tho draw-back is, the want of soldiers. The War Department cannpt furmsh trained regiments as fast as the Secretary of the Xavy can offer ships for transport. The Secretary of the Xavy wants one hundred thousand troops, but the demands of Kentucky and of the river .expedition, and the necessity of keeping an immense force before Washington, leave : few troops to spare. If our troops go into winter quarters on tho Potomac witli pr"ume • considerable number of the regiments now lying inac tive in camp will be ordered for duty i n the genial winter climo of the South, thus transferring the scat of war from Virginia to the rebel coast and Gulf States. 1 3 soon = cau be spared, other expeditions T D f' Ecw:tI '> the correspondent of the tondon T.m„, must 1* more carafhl, Dr hc * low hare fhcraputation he acquired in the Crimea Our telegraphic dispatches JV that in ho, last leer he states tha, the President and Cabinet were ho. Indisposed v itration with tlie rebels, and were probably considering the propriety of ask |ng t e ibe intervention of European Po tentates. A more ridiculous conception never entered the head of the silliest of correspondents, let alone our great Doctor of Laws. Such absurd statements, coming from such a source, are calculated to do us much mischief abroad, where, we begin to think, Dr. Russell passes for more than be is worth. If our Government is so foolish as to entertaitvmch an idea, it would hardly make a_ confidant of Dr. Russell, and we arc sure it would not venture to make such » proposition to the people. The statement is absurd.
