" ™ 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. ; :
