one for boundaries. Thi.-v.in the true issue in 'si

dered territory which li*s South of the boun- J

sections of the two sections are too <li.-?imilar II
to be divided by a "mere mathematical line? j t;
we need a great natural line of separation like j h

the war to the banks of ihat river. Then if j f<

THE POLICY OF THE WAR. '
Various opinions prevail as to the policy
which governs lh<2 administration in the prose

cncral suntimei)L of ihc country, the voice of
10 nrtii}*, and the opinions of the cotmnaiid
11; (jeiiernls lie lias directed the present inac
ve mill 'defensive policy.
The propriety of adopting an active and vig- j
rons aggressive policy presents a military as ;
ell as political aspect The military question
; a professional one, and depends for in solu
on, upon the military sUill and miuute infor
ation as to the condition and strength of our
rmy nnd of the enemy mid tiic positTon and
efence# of the latter, which is only possessed
y ourTomnianding Generals, (yf this gncs
on they are tlie only proper judges, and we
re willing to abide l>y their determination.
But the political question, requires no tecli
ieal or professional learning for its decision,
nd is a subject upon which the public is fully
iiinpetcnl to form an opinion. That opinion
as lif.on formed and finds everywhere free ex
roesioi through the public "journal?, and iri
upported by strong and Cngcnl considerations
f general policy. The contest between North
nd llie Eolith has been narrowed down to the
lie struggle for doniinjon over ]\Iis3ouri,?Ken
ueUy and Maryland. Until the contest is
lit re settled, there can be no peace. All the
:rri(nry South of tlio Missouri and Oliio rivers
cilimnU'ly belongs to the South and most ul
imaU'V he ours?Maryland is olirs by tie?
hieh can never he sunde:\:d?and untill the
neii'vhe driveft from the Southern so-l, tliere
llouhl he no rest f? r the foot of the invader,
( lay and inaction dispirits our friends, and
Iren^theus the hol.l of the enemy. A hlow
n the l'olotnac would ho fell along the whole
onticr. It would give employment to the
lu-iny at home, ami put a stop to the piratical
irays, which thej" are now projecting ngtiinst
lie Southern coast. A-i active policy would,
?} ] incalculably to the efficiency of our army,
ncl pocmi tu afford the only hope of n speedy
)lution, ami successful terminhtion of our dif?
iculties. ^ ^ ^

were 16,OHO Confederates at Milburn, and

Grant thereupon sent his whole force, reserv

while Gen. Cheatham . vrnged the main body
at or near Milburii, and that our forces have

4 TI IE SEQUESTRATION La^Vi'?Oil tllC 30tU Of I
August lost, an act vwas passed eequestrating j
llio property of nliec enemies. Ttio confisca
tion of the property -qf the citizens of llic
Southern Confederacy made this act indispensa
ble. Tlie provisions of the act afforded np
psreitfly the most ample and completo means
for its enforcement. The stringeptinterroga
tories proposed by the Attorney (Jcnenrn'; and
his instructimm '??/>. ? ?t- -i- * -

stimulate the rciceivt-rs and oilier qfliccrs of the
Confederate courts to the utmost promptness
and energy in the execution of the law.
Twenty-six days have elapsed siact the cu
actmenl of the lav? ; but no^pctition or process
of garnishment has yei ben i issi<e<l from the Con
federate courts nude)' the provision* of the sc
i/iicxtriitioii law. .
The instructions of the Attorney General, i
the spirit of the law, and the exigencies of the
times, alike demand that receivers should uol
wait the slow, uncertain process of ^Informa
tions" against property To save the va?t fund
in trusted to their c^rc they should strike bold
ly, and above all speedily. We hear some sur
prise expressed nt the tardiness with which the
sequestration law is being enforced in Vifginia

SnirriNG Cotton to the Skatort-s.? rNotwith
standing the circular of factors, urging plow- j
tcr3 not send cotton t.o tlie seaports, it appears
that shipments are being made to New Orleans
tlie stoek intliat cit}* now amounting to nearly !
11,000 bales.
Tlie Delta illinks that the parties concerned
?those ccnding, ?:eeiving and carrying?tfre j
guilty of n violutimi of the declared will and
obvious policy of the Government. It cef
tainly.is not a vise policy, in an}* view of the
subject-to throw a large stock of cotton into
any of our ports at this titneT It is dangerous
in many ways, and does not add to thepeciipin
ry facilities of the planter. Al^plaf^es Jbave to
make soma" sacrifices in behflj^oni^cbunlry,
and the planter can surely submit to one fo
trilling to him and so important to the welfare \
of his country, as not to place the great staple 1
at a point of danger when it can serve no good
purpose. The Southern insurance offices gene
rally lake risks on cotton in the gin-house and
I we presume woiil'd insure'at a smaller premium
I there than at any seaport. 4 ?
Let our planters then havo pntiencc, relief
will coinc by-and by.
