HOWELL COBB, Fiesident of the Congress. Approved May 13-, 1861. JEFF. DAVIS. THE WAR?WHEN SHALL THE END BE. | Th?: subjoined parttgraphs nre from the con-I i elusion of un editorial article in the New York I ! Journal of Commerce, of Fridny Inst. There j nre errors in it, which will he readily delected j by the render?one is the intimation of a pos- ' Bible revolution in the South ; nevertheless, j the article will be rend with interest: We have said, and we now repeat, that, the North has been deceived and misled into this war by the Northern Rcpublecan press; nnd since the war began, they have been as con stantly deceived and misled in every particu lar relating to the force, the ability and the courage of the foe. This deception has led to fatal resulta already, it is now leading us to destruction. The Suppression of truths which show the strength and resources of the South, the misrepresentation of their financial and coirtriHssuriut resource?,' the false reports of their disaffection, desert ion. sickness. <?c., have characterized the editorial find news columns of the papers alluded to, nnd linve so misled the minds of men at (lie North, that the error could only be corrected by some tfuch lestfori e's Was received, ot G rent Bethel, which may thus, perhaps, be productive of good on the whole. It is beginning ta daw n on men's iniudd that this contest is not an affair of a day, or a month or ft Veur. ffthe end to be lht> n'iinmt?rin>r of the Southern armies nnd people, that end is probably very fur distant. Let no ir.an promise himself that the battle of Manassas 1 Junction, now apparently njar, will be decisive i of the war. If we aro beaten at that, point, 1 1 is there any Northerner who proposes to give ?p the contest? If the South are beaten, is there any probability that Southerners will 1 yield the congest any more than we would? 1 They ore Americans.- hi cod of our blood, our 1 brothers, cousins, friends?nnd they reason, 1 1 think nnd feel just as we should tinder similar 1 ircumstances. There is, therefore, little hope ! ,,f an eud of the war by a decisive battle or a short campaign. Another possible end of Lhe war is one flint may now be talked of f/eely, ifiougfi a few weeks since it was impossible to mention it. We lately published a very mild letter from a St. Louis correspondent, suggesting a possible p.ace by compromip*. The Hartford Timet copied it, and the ifartford Coutaut buist like a thunder-cloud on the Times, charging ihem with treason, and flatly pronouncing it to be trcadoli in a'n3' one to propose a compromise before we had finished the war I But we are living in cooler times. Another possible cad of the war is in Chi oc currence of another revolution in the South. It may be that the States which went mad lor socesBibn it few months ogo, may change. - In other *ord#, there may he a strong Union party there sonfe day. If we are to beliete liia liflMVKlijton nar\Ai.n O I- I* ' * *1? ?#? I in^/cic, VKC UUUl.ll 11 HO ttCbliaiiy . a majority of Union men, who are held down I by moba. We don't believe any su6h thing. We don't believe there are ten Unicm men in * South Carolina There were many such in all 1 the seceded States. But the attempt at coer t cion by arm? bus carried them nearly all over 0 for the present. Is there a dune American e who' believerf that any amotfnt of physical force will ever prevail to make Union men out of Americans who don't afio'dse to be such f Can 1 you starve them into it? Ia there the re h molest hope that a long war will make friends i,' oirt of euerr.iesf So lonq as the North stands || where it stood six months ugo, and says to the ^ South, "you must yield, back down from all j ihis, and gi ve it up ; we will not give yo& any | excuse, any plea, any argument by which to i mfivo C/illr ftnillltlAiy ffiantta ?r..ti rtiwl "is ----- o ?jl"~ -r at once ?go long as the NoMb mffi olefins thin ground, juat so long tlie war wjlloootinu<*.

Ilia report of that campaign evinces n borough military education, to which he com lines the practical knowledge there acquired. >ut which he is now puttii-g to use against, a urge portion of that country which sent him here to gain that information. Hi* position s Hccotid to Scott, und should old "Fuss am) Feathers" tnke it into his houd to resign the oimnand of Linroln'u hordef, to assume a simi ar position in the region of Ilades, under hi> ititunic roujeety, Gen. McClellaa will be nt ?nce elevated to hie position. With 6uch a man to contend against, oui Jovei nmeut should be cautious of whom the\ 'end against him. Ii should by all means be ? thorough military chieftain, not a civilian general, and we gr> ally fear that, if that see .ion of Virginia i? given to Gen. Wise alone, we sf?al? speedily have to chronicle his defeat, and his being entirely out-generated by lib opponent. In fact no man could so well ope rate in that section as-our President liimsell, uould he be spared from his executive duties; but if sttcli cannot be the case, let Col. Iiardcc. who lone held u similar position with McClellun in the United States army, that of captain ol eavarlv. or Gen. Bragg, of artillery notoriety, or Gen.

Where a nation does not keep up a large andirg arrov, it beeotnes necessary in me of war to resort to volunteer soldiers r land militia. Where a nation has r.o ,rge forces at sen, in the shape of ffeets r regular war vessels, it is necessary to jsort to volunteer war vessels or privateers, ueh is now tlie case of the Confederate tates. The ships of?war of the lateUni? id States, of which the Confederate States ere a very considerable portion, belonged > u very considerable extent to these Con !ueiate States, having been built, in large nrr, wui) money oonirimnea Dy mem, ana tr their benefit and protection.

The wholo nnvnl nimament of ie late United States has been unjustly eized and appropriated, contrary to ftll quily by the remaining fraction of the t'e Union. The Confederate Sfi'es thus nbbed of lheir naval force?, have found it esirahlc in the war now progressing, to ave recourse to the militia of the sen, antl avo issued their failitary commissions to s many an are wiliing to engage in naval warfare with our Northern enemy.
