" ™ opposite: Washington City, and Gen. McClelTHURSDAY, JUNE 13th, 1861. pe WAR. APhe-news fromthe east, "inthis day's TRAX , which: we issued ‘yesterday in an extts, is three days jater. than that received by the previous pony. [t, however.” contains many items of peculiar interest, as federal government in its prosecution of the present campaign: The first object appears to be to obtain complete control of Virginia, by driving back all the seceasjonist forces, and compelling them either to concentrate andl risk a pitched battle at Richmond or re treat inte North Carolina. For tis evident: piirpose Gen. Mansfield has entered Virginia laad has entered it st Wheeling and is moving along the railroad in the direction of Harper's Ferry. Gen. Butler is at. Fort Motiroe, with a large force, which is con-. ptantly growing larger, and Gen. Patterson is menacing the state from Chambersburg, in Pennsylvania. ‘So far, the federal forces have only been employed ia attacking and routing the advaneed poste of the secessionists.— The next pony will, verv likely, bring intelligence of a grand battle at Richmoad, or in that region,or else that;the secession army has retired from Virgima. It may possibly enter into the strategic designs of Jeff Davia and Gen. Beauregard, to draw the federal forces into the extreme southern states, in the hightof the summer season, where they will be exposed to the diseases incident to unacclimated northern constitutions in that warm region. . It is, however, just as possible that Gen, Scott will perfectly comprehend: the motives of his antagonists, and not suffer himself to fall » victim to such cunningly devised strategy. The federal government, in its instructions to Gen. Butler, has furnished honorable proof of its determination not to avail itself of the discontents of the slave population of the seceded states, Slave insurrections are not to be encouraged or assisted by federal officers, but ru y slaves, seeking protection within the federal lines, shall be made to work, and an account kept of their labor, for the eviden’ purpose of a future remuneration of } the slaves’ masters. This policy has infinitely more of justice and generosity in it than the secessionists had any right te expedg. It will go far to strengthen the Union. sentiment in the revolted states. The returns of the vote ef Virginia, on the secession ordinance, show that the western portion of the state is overwhelmingly opposed to a dissolution of the Union. . hy the eastern portion, the secessionist troops were not only permittéd to vote but were employed in driving the friends of the Union from the polla,. There is every reason to believe that the entire state, if the system of terrorism, inaugurated by the secessionists, were removed and the people permitted to vote unrestrainedly, is decidedly in favor of sustaining the federal goveryment. It will not be long exe the federal army will liberate the Unionists of Virgmia from the terrorism under which they now suffer. af iy ni that noble. state, is true as steel to the Union ; and so, time and the federal amy will show, are Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Indeed, with the possible exception of Seuth Cardlina, there is not much doubt but. that there i#& strong Unionist majority in all, the cotton states, were it allowed to manifest itself under the protection of the general government.The next pony’s news, which may be expected on Saturday evening, can not fail of detailing matters a stirring import. The decisive battle at Richmond ta yet to be faught. ; : <a a : SwinDLinG. — The pious and patriotic northerners are awfully humbugged occasionally.
