TRASSP1RI5G. OUR FOTVRE FORESHADOWED. While a climax -seems to hare been; reached in the mffaira of our 'two country, a crisis appears to hare suddenly -come upon our neighbors north and south. Mexico and-its imperial 'government are threatened with difficulties from which even -the most casual student of the history of nations can but axgu3 the restoration of republican power. Maximilian, invited by. the church party to occpj ihe throne and supported in the attainment of his ambitious wishes by the French Emperor, is all at once abandoned by his friends. Napoleon, fore seeing the speedy; return of peace to the union and an army of a milion of men ready for., further operations; is beginning to be troubled about that long hated Monroe doctrine which, owing to our civil strife, he considered would never again have potency. Convinced of his mistake, and ; taking time by the forelbck, he is already withdrawing the French troops from Mexico as an offset to any complaints which we n.ay 'make-, by ;and-by.T-3Ixioiilian thus abandoned by his more import- ant ally is now "quarrelling wish his friends at home. Never very radical in his ecclesiastical 'views he managed to conceal his luke-waroiness until the present time. Now, however,' he en deavors to enforce measures strictly at variance with the implied! terms of the bargain he made with the church party on taking the throne. The rupture is compleie. He persists in his plans and the clergy positively and uncomoromisingly pio lest. The hostility manifested toward him by his quondam friends is ntore bitter than the enmity of the republican party which, powerful as ever despite tlie patronage of the Emperor that won a few from their allegiance, now threatens to rise again and assert Its sway. ' ' Looking to the north we find unmistakable signs f a revolution in Canada, bloodless it may be, bdt certainly a popular one.

Ireland affords convincing proof pf this fact and other evidences could be found throughout the European and Asiatic; rovincea and colonics of England. It will be sufficient $t present to consider the case of Canada. Her ydung men, the generation which is now coming into' power, have been associated for years with onr people. Common tastes, com mon habits and common engagements have created a common political feeling. The -cricket matches, the base-ball games between the Canadian "all elevens ' and the United Stages 44 all elevens," and like international meetings, are as significant in terchanges of good feeling. as the ententes cordialet 'of 'European dynasties. This generation is now attaining the ascendancy in Canadian politics.1 English debt ana .English taxation are burthens which the Canadians eagerly desire to be rid of. len the excessive taxes in the United States, ne cessitated by a state of war, are not ajsi weighty as those at present! imposed by Great Britain. In clination and interest are both at work and we will hays ere long to add another to the stars in ouiJ)anner. j The Italian war materially altered the map of Europe and a prophecy w. s then made that the change was not io stop there, but that in a few years the old maps of the world would nave to be discarded as useless. How will the map of the United States in 1870 appear ? Are we verify ing onr- portion 'of. the prophecy. Will our present, maps be valuable in a few years only as historical recordrof our past, ? Will not the map of 1870 exhibit the American continent a grand republic without the least trace of European usur pation power ? j . . ACKNOWLEDGMENT. COXTBVDXIATE HOSPITAL, WilmisgtokN. 0..-Mardi SOth, 1863. To the Editorif TkefHerald of the Union : " The sic and wounded prisocersin this hospital request me to "acknowledge through your paper' Tb Pocitloa in Sortlt Carolina. From the Army and Nary Journal. The forces of the Union hare now- all arrired is position on the great strategic theatre of the war. - The Drimarr combinations are completed, and, in one quarter jof the field, har already given way io the erolutions ot battle. It has been clearly demonstrated that the threatened movement from Wilmington has been made sec ondary to the movement from Xewbera! ; and that the co-opera tire column of Schofield, Srbicb once threatened to advance against Raleigh and Goldsboro', on the line of the Wilmington anrt Weldon Kailruad, has adopted, instead, the line of the Atlantic andNorth Carolina Road. For this latter purpose, the Twenty-third corps was withdrawn from Wilmington, and sent around by transports to Kewbern. Palmers permanent garrison at that point, tho provisional division sent from" Tennessee, and the Twenty-third corps, were, formed into a strong Army, under; direct command of Cox, but superintended by Schofield himself. In three divisions this coN umn marched upon Kinsfon, and. at the latter point, on the 8th, it encountered. Brsgg whole army. ' It met a severe check, losing 1,500 meti and three guns. Elated by- his success, and de sirousto complete his victory before the aniral of . reinforcements, Bragg attacked Schofield J with great fury in bis new line,' three miles back, but was severely beaten away, after suf fering a.8 great loss as he had inflicted two day s before upon us. The failure of this experiment and the arrival of Couch's division of the Twenty-third corps from Wilmidgton, forced Bragg to retire across the Neuse to Kinston, burning the brldg behind him. Upon that point Scho field quickly advanced, and, on the 11th, Bragg retreated up the railroad to Goldsboro leaving our troops in possession of the handsoniely disputed town. - The important movements thus briefly sum marized disclose the fact that the enemy has decided to contest the occupation of Raleigh and GoldtiboroVand that it was for this purpose be made his first resistance at the outpost of Kins on. They also serve toshow, that the enemy has abandoned the line of 'the Northeast : Cape Fear river, and has taken up the line of the Neuse, on which latter the three ciiies just named lie. That abandonmentof course, made it certain that Sherman's overland march from Cheraw to Faycttevillewould not bo contested in front ; and that the familiar demonstr tions on his left flank and rear were -II that he had to guard against. It is probablf, therefore, that nothing more than a picket, 'forre of the enemy is now to be found between Fayetteville and Wilmington, or eren on the Weldon Railroad f.irther south of Goldsboro' than Warsaw and Kenansvill. ,The chances are that the whole railroad has been abandoned, except by ridettes, as fur north as Goldsborqitself. This change ol position, on the enemy's part, from Wilming ton to Goldsboro'; has given .-him, itk is true, greater facilities for checking our advance from Ntswbern. But it was directly compelled by our own prior move between these two points. And even if it-had hot been forcedby Schofield'a easterly' advance, it would soon have ensued from Sherman's flanking demonstration, which threatened to cut off the lino of Bragg's north erly retreat, and force his surrender. Our own advance from Newbern rather than Wilmincrt n was dicated, probably, 6y serera reasons partly by its greater proximity to Fortress Mon roe,, and its greater facil.ty of communication both by land and water with the North ;: part ly, perhaps,, from the excellent navigable con dition f the Neuse jas far up as Newbe n ; but certain from the fact that our base at Ne.wbern is much nearer Goidsboro' than, the ba-e at Wilmington, the distance bein 54 miles in the former case, and 80 in the latter. . Independent, . however, of' considerations of propriety or , impropriety,- General Sherman s oraers, given weKS ago, ior tne aavance irom Newborn were imperative. We may safely reb'i therefore, on the face, that he has blocked out the - plan in the right way, and that the Newborn Column will reach Goldsboro' at the time and in the manner designated. Terry's column af; Wilmington (the same troops that Wok Fort Fisher) will go up the Weldon Rail road in doe time ; but there is much work to be done first on the jwharfs and warehouses of Wilmington,-and much moe in repairing.the railroad. I i Meanwhile, the chief actor in the opening, Carolina drama, to .- nrenare for whose arDear- ance these preliminary scenes were enacted, has made-his debut On the grand stage. Reported by the enemy as "stuck in the mud in one of the Southern States, oherman- has been lei surely marching his Army through the enemy's country, feeding it as Confederate soldiers vain ly hope to feed. A grand concentration under J ohnston at Charlotte had made due prepara-. tions to "bag" him. But Sherman, true 'to his old policy, turned to the East, and moved rap idly past the flank of his adversary, -who found himself once more outgeneraled! in having col lected a force" where it was not needed, i John ston, giving up hi plan of destroying Sherman, now bent his attention to saving Bragg. He found himself forced to follow Sherman in es cort; and, m spite: of the few rude dashes of Hampton's cavalry, it must be owned that the escort has kept at a respectful distance. ' John ston, however, has really done all that he was capable of doing with his inferior force against so able an adversary; and, unlike some: other Confederate Generals, be may congratulate himself that, if he has done no harm to Sher man, be has done little to himself, ' But, is Sherman's Army, after its march of oW miles, in condition to enter on the Wate; loo campaign of tho Rebellion ? It is better fit ted forvthat purpose than the veteran A ray of Lec itself. Sherman briefly reports? We are all well and the last utterances of the cnemjr on that subject were : "The troops were nnd$r -strict discipline and orders,1 in the best condl "rion, well-clothed, andl; well fdiod. B They "marched as if they had jost tarted on their, "expedition, instead of ;- bavinz been out for "wefks The General biniiicif apwared io od -spirits ana connaent ot success. iicrevci that Army hasmached, its drums have beat the music of victory.
