military head in the United States on his tall shoulders.--But though his plan be ever so good, subjugation is by no means certain, for there must be a hand to execute as well as a head to design; and, even with both, the spirit of the country must be subdued before, in such a territory as ours, subjugation is possible. To General Scott, a son of Virginia, belongs the unenviable glory of every efficient movement which the Federal armies have made for the conquest of his native country. Grant, Sherman & Co., who are the prominent actors in the scene, are but the tools with which the designs of the old chieftain are carried out. They are getting great names, but are no more entitled to the honor, if they accomplish their work, than masons and carpenters to the credit of some grand architectural conception which their hands have simply embodied in stone and wood. We recognize in Wingfield Scott, of Virginia, the military master spirit of the Federal War, and are willing he shall e

, that originally recommended by General Scott, which was the occupation of the Mississippi Valley and the bisection of the remaining portion of the Confederacy through Tennessee and Georgia. We have not before us the letter of General Scott to Lincoln, in which he laid down his plans in detail, but, as far as we can recollect, they correspond substantially with the recent movements of the Federal troops, especially those under General Sherman. The impatience and hot haste of the Federal Govehe shall enjoy all the satisfaction he can derive from that admission. We wonder how the old man, now tottering on the confines of the grave, feels as he thinks of the part he has played in this terrible tragedy. We know that he advised Mr. Lincoln, before giving him his plan for the prosecution of the war, to say to the Seceding States, "Wayward sisters, depart in peace"; and, yet, knowing that this was the course which wisdom and humanity alike dictated, he lent his powerful aid to a c

In 1790, the population of the United States, including whites and free negroes, was 3,231,930. The whole population in 1850, of whites and free colored persons, was 19,987,573. From an interesting treatise, published by a foreigner in Washington, the remarkable fact appears to be demonstrated, that, excluding immigration, the population of the United States, in 1850, would have been 7,555,423, instead of 19,987,573--a difference in population of 12,432,150. Extraordinary as this may appearnnot readily be answered, and which show to our minds that the United States is no longer, and was not even as long ago as 1850, an American country. Another writer, of opposite political views, testifies to the wonderful increase of the foreign element in the Northern States since 1850.

make a State embracing as large a white population as Maryland or Alabama, and, within a fraction, enough to make one having as large a white population as North Carolina or Georgia! Every two years, there would be enough to balance the white population of Virginia. Every six months, there would be almost enough to offset South Carolina or Louisiana. Every five weeks, a sufficient number to act as a counterpoise to the entire white population of Florida. Or, at the same rate, making no allowance for the increase of immigration, though, in point of fact, it has progressively and rapidly increased every year, the foreign immigration in thirteen years (1866) would be (we have no doubt it is at this moment) equal to the entire white population of the slave States! Six out of seven of these immigrants settled in the free States. Facts like these show that the North is not only a foreign country by virtue of the separation of the South, but that it is European as well as foreign.
