With his ar any thu weakened by battles and; disease, he coold not hold hia White House operations twen ty miles In his rear and his entrenched lines of ten miles in front of Richmond. His original plan; if we are not mistaken, was to move 4iis whole FSimaa armv of last winter! in a erand Sml-circlCBpon Richmond,- sweeping the entire untry frond the Potomac to the Valley of Vir- glnia Defore him, and contracting nis. lines as ne advanced upon Richmond, not from tie east, but from the north, thus leaving no lcjop-beie tor Confederate raids Into the Shenandoah Valley, nor any chance to the enemy to cut him off from the base Of his supplies. j ' " Unfortunately, however, this well considered plan wai set aside ty the disorganising abolition radicals of Congress,' aided and abetted by tweror three political Generalr of the Cabioet. v In the failure of this great and all important enterprise we have lost the labors of a campaign ; and Ad repair this, and to drive the Confederates lout Of Virginia, will require an additional budget of many millions to our national debt. !'

(New-York city has sutier ed' quite as much as Philadelphia jand shares these sentiments. Two jNew -York jregiments suffered at Bull Bun, and,-the oxcite knent here was fearful. What will it fce when the lists of killed and wounded come in now ? THK BLOW TO PUBLIC CREDIT. j The financial credit of the'eountry has received a shock from the disaster to McClellan's army jfrom which it will not easily recover. Previous !to his being driven back from his position before IRichmond.Government stocks were at an unexam fpled premium, and tho credit of the country Lev er stood so high. - . ' ! Within a week all this has been changed, and now Government stocks exhibit more unsteadi ness than any' other class of public securities. I MISMANAGEMENT. j fFrom the Nw York Herald, (Editorial,) July i v.j ! . j There is it time to keep silence and a lime to apeak. The 'campaign has concluded with our Irepulse from bolow Richmond. The campaign to come will require new troops, new plans and new combinations, with, perhaps, new emergencies of foreign complications. The time haa come, there fore, to expose, rebuke and correct the errors, and mismanagement ot the Dast. in order to secure a thorough reformation for the future . a j The Secretary of War makes no provision for accident or emergency, andismeaa call for three hundred thousand troop?, not just before a battle, when the people are enthusiastic, but just on the heels of a repulse, when the people are -depressed. When Stanton divided McClellan's command he himself assumed the practical direction of the cam paign. The people knew and the press announ ced that Jeff Davis was massing all Ins troops at Richmond, just as a good business man concen trates hia means where he finds the best invest ment jThaSecretary of war could not understand this, Consequently our forces on James Island Retreated from a foe who had gone toj Richmond; lour troops in the Shenandoah built entrenchments jagainBt Jaikson, who had gone to Ridhmond; our troops at the West stood on the defensive against jBeauregard, who had gone to Richniond; and Burneide sought in vain for the North Carolina Confederates, wfco had alo gone to Richmond. r JMcClellan was, therefore,' overwhelm. - IS WASHINGTON SAFE ? From the New York Times, (Editorial,) July 7. i If "Stonewall" Jackson be not deadWand there is now a doubt thrown over the statement that he !was veritably and actually .killed in the late bat It lea is there no danger of his taking a column and with it marching suddenly in the direction of iWashington? The movements of thisi daring reb el during the last two months have been as rapid 'and successful as they have been extraordinary in other respects. It i but a few weeks since he pounced upon and defeated the forces of Milroy jand Schenck in the Shenandoah Valley. From that work he entered upon the pursuit of Gen. .;Banks, drove him to Winchester, defeated him jtbere, pursued him a distance of seventy or eighty jmiles up to the Potomac; then retired,! and during jbis retreat defeated Fremont and Shields; then 'swept over the Blue Ridge and across Eastern Virginia to the Chickahominy and attacked the right.;wlng of our main army ten days ago with what success is known to our readers- linvin in this space of time fought four battles at distant points, and traversed a distance of four or five hundred miles. In each ol the instances h is move- I'ment was more or less of a surprise, and each of them would have been declared by most men quite impossible before it was actually donei It would be undoubtedly a difficult thing for Jackson, "whether he be or not dead, to take twenty thou- j sand, Confederates and move north to Fredericks- j burg, thence to Manassas, thence eastward to the 1 Potomac, and it is not likely he will try. We believe, moreover, that our troop3 now at Wash ington and tne-points nrmed are fully prepared to resist such a movement. At least we hope so. And we also hope that our troops now in the Shenandoah vV alley and elsewhere ii Eastern Virginia, will - be disposed of- so as to Effectually prevent any other northward movements of this rebel, if he be alive, or of his ghost, if he be dead.

Your achievements of the past ten days have illustrated the valor and endurance otthe American soldier.

Under every disadvantage of number, and necessarily of position aleo.you have in every conflict beaten back your foes with enormous slaughter. ' Your conduct ranks you among the celebrated aimies of history. None wilt now question What each of you may always, with pride, say, " be long to the. Army of the Potomac." You have reach ed thif new base complete in organization, . and unimpaired in spirit. The enemy may' at any time attack you-we are prepared to meet them. I have persona) established your lines.: Let them come and we will convert their repulse into a final defeat. , . - Your Government is strengthening you .with the resources of a great people. On this our na tion's birthday, we declare , to our ioea, who are rebels against the best interests of mankind, that this Army shall enter tbe Capital of the so-called Confederacy; that our national Constitution shall prevail, and that the Union,- which ean a'one in sure internal peace and external security to each State, must and shall be preserved, cost what it may in time, treasure, and blood.

I THE CONFISCATION MEASURES. 1 For some time past we have been subjected to very sharp attacks for having said that the acts of confiscation passed at Washington would raise i;n Europe a universal sentiment of surprise and disapprobation; and for having called atten tion to the fact that Austria alone, of all the Earopeao governments, retains in its po litical system this pitiable remnant of tbe plun dering customs of a past age. As on former oc casions, these, remarks have been instantly set down to sympathy with the South. k We have to-day trom two Paris paper, whose fidelity to the Federal cause is notorious, remarks do this subject much more strongly expressed than anything we have published. These two journal are the Debate and the Siecle. Under date 11th Juae, the first writes: - The "Constitutionaei" expresses its astonish ment and indignation at a measure, which, in the middle of the nineteenth country, revives confis cation, that barbarous penalty which the pro gress of justice and humanity baa eradicated from ouroodes. We should entirely concur with the ''Constitutionne,'' and 'should not hesitate to brand the measure as infamous, if it were clearly proved to us that the American. Government and Congress have committed tbe crime that that journal undertakes to lay to their eharge.'f 1 Tho Siecle saVs : j What we fear most for the cause of the North, even -more than military reverses, is the fatal in spiration which has led tho President to. propose and Congress to adopt a law of confiscation against those persons in the .South who refuse to." lav down their arm within two months. The most bitter civil war never affects the obligation to respect property. It is pitiful to see the American Republic borrow trom the ancient re gime one of its most iniquitous laws, without re membering that the press-of tbe United Statea has over and again, and most justly, accused Aus tria and Prussia of high-treason against civili zation, for having used that weapon in tie case of Poland and against Liorobardy and Venice." ?Wa hnnfl that this will mnviRM the advocates of confiscation that one need not be an enemy of the Federal cau?e to repuliate their system, and that, on the contrary, tne truest friends of that cause are those who are clear-headed enough to point out the errors into which it Is likely to fall From the Richmond Whig.
