I. t is not to be den?eI thit aince the commencement of this war, theories of a very opposite ch tacter, respecting iu prosecution and terrain a lion, hive claimed the attention and exceptance of the puMic mind. We have passed through several different phases of this subject, until we h-ive at length retched the development of doctrices which challenge t e icrutiny of every pntriot. and m iy well awaken our deepest solicitude. We are brought to an iue which is to determine, according ts we emlnce or as we reject it, whether the fundamental principles of the Union and the fr roe wot k ol the Corniitution are to be preserved, or whether they are to give place to a system luuixied in mere force.

How near we are to the adoption of the fust mentioned of thee two plan; how fr e are adranrel on the rotd if the former by having depirtnl from the latter, we do not propose to roriiler. Neither do we prop-e to draw into this present discuaiou the porticuNr op nior.s, acts, views or conduct of in div dunla Weditcuss solely now a theory which Our countrvmeu are asked to Adopt in the proe cutiou and termination of this war; and in dis cu-injc it we deal with principles and not with the mm who propound them. Let u assume, then, that the S inthern States are to be proceeded against as State: to be con quered, and to be held as conqnerel countries until we msy see fit to readmit them into, or to inc irpoi ate them wih the Union on such terms :s we mtv impo-e; or, in other words, that we are to hold them as conquered province for au indeßti te period The first ohj-erv .tion o be mde upon this plan is. thit its adoption will plsce the gvertiment of the United States ohv';u.lv uti der the necessity of acting according to the ie quirements of public law:f.,r weaume that it is toiact, not arbitrarily and c-ipriciouily( but according to e-tablifhed principle. tint its course nny ttatui juxiiüei u the civilizel world, and so that individual rights and intercuts, as they may be effected by the result, ru iv hereafter be found to rest upon principles c iptble ot being adminis terelin the tribunals of c'miizel justice. If, in deeJ. we are to throw aside all regard for principle, and to act upon the barbarous doctrine that men h tve no rights because they h ippen to bt in a portion of the country where a u-urped author it j has made it necessary for them to ubrnit for a time to a rule which we sav is unlawful, we have no occasion to con-iler anything bevoitO! the muira ih;tt "ni'xht nukes riht." Bat if we propoe to rem tin in our pi tee among the ns lions of the earth which govern their conduct by th pre.it rules ut public morality, then we have e.-.eth5ng more to consider th;tn questions of phyii'ictl power. We remark, therefore, as a neeüsjMry conse queuce of the pl.sn which regards the Uiiitcsl Stiles ts a future belligerent conqueror of the S-juthern Sutes, thtt under its adoption our Government uul pre. ted according to the law of n itiuus, and must be bound by wh it thitl tw requires. The advocate of this pUn will scarce Iy iliptite this position, unless they mesn lo make this war an eiertioi;of me:e victorious force unre;ulHtel bv anv rule whatever. Unless thev mean to do this, they must accept the pubjic law as a rule; for if they resort to a theory d erived from the rights of belligerents, and speak ol con quests obtaiued in war. they must take the la of nations us it exists, in its norm al application to such ctss, acrordiii to tho general acceptance of mankind. The first thing, then, we have to do is to set tie th q-iotti :i Irin tly whether this is a civil or a f jreigu war. Whether it is the one or the other, the law of nations mut be looked to at the source of the rules which are to govern its precution and termination; although tho-e rules may bediHereut iu iome respects according as the war ia to be considered aa beloni;in to one or the other of thee two kinds. To the one or the other of these two kinds of w r the present w r mint belony, tiuce the usages of nations, the principles of action and adjudication, and the u-c of public force admit of no other descriptions or war when waged by irovernments. The etublislied distinctions between civil and foreign wars fully ehow what the character of the pre-ent war necesaarily is. It is a civil, and not a Ibreigu war, for the conclusive teison that the latter is a war wage! against a foreign nation. Aciil war exists when a nation is practicaWy divided into twu parties, who ackonwledge no com tuon jude, aud who carry on their dispute by recourse to arms. Although the eubject of that dispute m iy be the dependence or independence of a territorial portion ot the nation, it H ti!l a civil Wit;; and while the conie-t is raging it uiu-t be conducted according to the laws of war which are applicable to iheeittiution of the pirties, who at e iu miny important tenes belligerents toward each other and toward other nations. iiut there is an important uifferetsce in the modes of terminating a civil and a ioieign war The latter is tcrmiiu'ei by a tro it v of peice there being two independent pariiea capaMe ol settling their ditleremes by a contract which ito got ern their future relations. Bat when a so ereij;ti ban sub ! nod a ptrty aiuoni; his own subjects a horn he was o'üiged teinKrarially to treat a bliii-i cut or, in other words, when he has prevailed in a civil war the condition of hostilities mut be terru'nited by aa amnesty, fioui which, however, the sovereign ui iy except any of the authors or ihiels of the revolt, ahotn he may punish according to the laws of his ;-uv eminent. It the overeiu does nor prevail, hut is obligexl to coiiseiil lo the di-memttei meni ol his dominion-, the war is terminated bv acknowl e-lging the indejH'ii-le'ice of the insurgetii-. wothus bcotne a ntlion with whom a treaty of peace can e made This was the ca-e between Gre.it Britain and ourselves at the en 1 of tt;e revolutionary m.tr. This, then, being a ciii war, the next inquiry is, dues the law ol nations clihlih any limita tions as to the M'.jecta wtikhmtv rightfully le actodi; tii'iNi I 1 1 V itt S l i i t I j Ii fit , .id i- it vi I I ... . ..v.. j.. v.... j war, but a civil war w. -ed ( -n our p irl ) ty a j govcenment hoe authority over the in-urgent peonies or provinces is umiien ty a wrmen con-j eiituiiou, it becomes oi the utmot importance lo aceilain whether the public law wilt .aJmilofour aetting aside all the principles, gu rantees, and fundamental ideas ot that Constitution, or whether it will require u to proceed no further than to tiie restoration of itaoiiginat authority.

The New Orleans coi respondent of a New York paper thus speaks of the condition of affairs on some of the "Government plantations in Lothian t :"

"While referring to th subject of plantations, j my attention h i teeu called to the appirentlv impartial report of Mr W. U Wilder, the inspector ol plantation, who recently risite 1 the plan tations under the control of Co I Hanks, supenn tend en I of contrabands. lie says, iu his re;Krt to the proner authorities : 'More particularly would I call your attention to the old Hickory plantation. The mortality that has and is occurring ihete is truly appalling On White Castle plantation, out of one buudredand forty nine ue groe-, eighty five hive died and twenty-two have run aw.y, thus leaving but fortv t?ro of the origi nal number. At the Old Hickory plantation there were four hundred and thirteen negroes; of the-o two hundred and two hive died since June 1 i-t On my vi.-it there I found thirty-eijiht negrue sick, without proper nurses or medical attendance. The hospital is a building eighteen by twenty three feel in s ze. in which the sick retenel to were picked. In the midst of thislzr h u-e was the dead body of a woman who h id :ied on Wedneadiy at three o't lock A. M. At five o'clock I M the following dy no measures ha-lbcei taken lor her sepulture.'" The Xew York Times has w long letter writ ' ten thi month of Gootlricli'a Laiiilin, iu Lousinii t, in which the writer state that the operations on the plantations within that district re more mece-tstul than in the vicinitv of New Orleans. He states tint bet een Like Providence nnd ililiikenV Beu J, n. distance of nbout fitly miles fortv five plantations hs.ve been leased some to resident whites, some to Northern men, and fif teeo to negroes. Elsewhere there is little doing. The iierow, we are tol 1, are more successful in raising cotton than the whites. Yet on one of the plantations operated by two negroes, employ injr abiui ü I ty ImxJi. only firry biles of cotton will le r.ii-ed And Ihi. the best, i only atmut one tenth of a crop Of Ihe condition of the lie groes hI this point the letter says: There isi and has been a re at deal of discon tent and crumbling ainung all cl.tsses, nnd there has also been a reatdeal of suffering. Scarcely any of the negroes on ihe plantations hereaoou.'s were raided in the immediate p rt of the country. All have come from Mis-issippi and Irom the back country. Pcrb ips the most m irked tr-iit in the ncro character is his love of home and of the localities to which be isi accustomed. They all pine for their humes. They long for the old quirtei-5 they have lived in, for the old woods they have roamed iu, and the old fields they have tided. The surire ms in chtrgu of contraband eainpa tell me thai a great many of them actually die Iruin home .sickness, or, in scieuiiuc language, nost dgia. They j.et thinking of their old homes, and it they have le.'i their I imilie or any pat I of them behind they lonz to see them, and so they become depressed in spirit and yield readily to the fir.it attack of die ie, or succumb jo the depression alone. The negroes here are at woik and earning wages, and they ire nut so liable to sickness, but many of them when they first came were compelled to lie for several days on the levee in the cold rain. There was no sheller lor them. They came bv hundreds to sek the protection of our troops. M my of them necessarily died from exposure, nnd the memory of thoe days of suffering and death still lingers among them. Under these circumstances it is inevitable that there should bengreitrte.il of discontent and complaint among the negroes." But, ccuvng nearer home, we find in the Windsor (Vermont) Journal of the 14th int., a letter from Mr James p. Stone, a missionary at H mpton, near Fortress Monroe, which shows that the Condition ol the "coiitrb mda" in South, eastern Virginia is but little bet'er in mine respects than that of the sime race on the banks of the Missis-ippi Mr. Stone, after re erring to the reception and distribution ot a quantity of old clothing forwarded to him in answer to a preti ous appeal, proceeded at foil ws: "But what is the little which has already reached u among such a multitude of eiger applicants? Ye.-terdav some two hundred were at our door, only a part of whom, of course could receive any thing. To those whom we regarded as the most needy were given w.:at we could, but not by any mein what they needed, or what we desired to give. If we had three hundred bartels of c.ood and Warm clothing and bedding we could soon dispose of it all. either in this or the neighboring missions, without giving any ttody nit article too much.

It illustrates, boa ever, tbe utter impracticability of the overland to Richmond, wheu a General of such proveibial prudence as Meade is obliged to root t to a desperate expedient. It is a confession that be cannot guard his long line of communication, and ( there. ore abandons it to the mercy of ihe s?rag cling bands . of guerrillas. By "this exedient, indeed, he obtains the use of the troops which he would otherwise have beeu obliged to employ iu guarding the railroad, but he is also obliged to carry all his provisions aud supplies for men and horses with him, and this provision, foe ten days, taust burden him greatly. Could anything more forcibly illustrate the aupcrior advaptages of the peninsula route to Richmond? On that route there are two lines of water communication, almost to the coveted city itself, rojuiriug no troop to guard them, and bv wuich, under the protecticu of a few gun boats, the upplies of a whole army could be trans ported. The intelligence which I have received cun . firms the prognosis Contained in my letters of November 12, 21 and '23. in regard to the designs of Gen Lee. It is now evident, however, that his I ore es are much larger than has been tup posed. There are at present with him the two corps of Gen. Ewell and Gen. A. P. Hill, each 3d,UU0 stroiij:; one division of Lou a street's corps, about I'd ,000 men; and a body of cavalry, under Geu Stuait, which the best authorities estimate at ld.ÜUU strong. This gives him a force oi about y(J,Ui)0 troops, and this is really the force against which Gen. Meade is advancing. It is utterly impossible that he can succeed, es en lo say nothing of the Advantage of osition ou Gen. Lee's fide, for even the Aimiuistrtion organs here do not preteud that Meade ha over b)fUi0 men. Up to Monday things had not heen going on well. On the 28ih our cavalry had suffered a severe repulse, with heavy los. On the same day a heavy rain prevniled tor twelve hours, which not only saturated the ground like a .spouse, but soaked the uieo through and through. The country, too, was lound to be so heavily wooded as to make operations with artillery nearly i in - practicable, ami in the more open country the gun carriages and ammunition wagons sank to the axles in the tough mud. It was discovered, too, that our officers had been deceived by the stories of refugees and "reliable contrabands," both in regard to the topography and configuration of the country, and in regard to the position of the enemy's defensive wotks; and, in consequence -f this, the wholeot Sunday was devoted to making the proper reconnoissauces. Ou uiondiy morn in: an attack was commenced by all the artitleiy that co-lil be got to the front, but it made not the slightest impression on the enemy's works, nor did their artillery reply. An attempt w is then made to carry the position by storm, two of our corps being engaged iu the asstult. This assault, although most gallantly made, was ut last repulsed, the enemy usin; smooth-bore cannon, grape-shot, ehell, and musketry, with teinbie eU'ect. Thus matters stand at present. The enemy's position is on a mall stream, which answers the purpose of a wide und deep ditch, ten miles eist (if Online Court House. The latter place, and Goi donsville, must also both be attacked and carried, even if and after the one is taken Iu view of the thousands of bravo men that must be sacrificed in these jseless, fruitless combats, how pprotiosis Burke's description of the tyrant who shrieks to General Meade to " find and fight the enemy": "I can conceive no existence under heaven that is more truly odious mid disgusting thtn an impotent, helpless ere tture, without civil wisdom or military sfull, without n consciousness of any other qualification for power but his servility o it, bloated with pt ide and arrogance, and ca.Img for battles which he is not to tight " Very many of the readers of the Times will be much pleased to her of the promotion of a gallant gentleman, formerly ot Chicago, whith h is just taken place I allude to Thum W. Egan, Colonel of the4Jlth Regiment N'ew York volun teers, who has ßerved faiihtully and with distinction during the whole war; ever 6ince May, lfG2, having been com minder of the regiment turned. His services in the Peninsular campaign were ol so eminent a natuie as to call forth the warm encomiums of the lamented General Phillip Kearney, ot whose divioon his regimeut formed a pirt; of General Heintzelmin, hiscorp commander, and ol General McCIellan himself Since August, Col. Egaii and his veteru regiment have done tood service in the Array of the Potomac; and, during a portion of the time. Col.

Kearney gate an order to Col Egan, he was in the habit of saying hit the service was at good a done already, lor he never ki.ew the brate 4'Uli regiment to fail him. There is t o doubt, tint Gen. Egan will bring his whole brigade j nolo the same hiuh sianlaid of exiellei.ee lien. Meade himself id much gratified at (Jen. I'jats pruiiiotiti. X. C.eiieriil .VI en do uu lite llaclt.
