A member of the Soutl e Congress said the othurday,-and anny agr with him,-thait the pro.opect of war eithia trecai dayv was patent. Other observers of the plol:e;, ehanges thiisk they discoiver a near view of pene One thing is certain : If the tepublican idea < zollecting revenue on goods imported into i1 Confederate States is attempted to be carried ou x fight must ensue ;-whether it will lead to w: in its broad acceptation, it is dillicult to ray. l.aa is a very dangerms sight in revolutionary time:t tnd if the opposing States aitpproxiiatcd unainii ty in thu uovement ugninst uis, war would follo iloodshed as certainly as the thunder-clap (lo the lightning's fnsli. But these States are grea ly divided in political sentiment;-iore than thi the party at present dominant in them is hated b L powerful minority with as. nuch bitterness as elt among the people of the South. The c: standing thus, the effusion of blood may take pl without leading to confirmed hostilities. There is another influence that will tell for o tgainst the chances of conitinued war : it is, th noral effect of the first conflicts that way occu Ef viefory be ours, these chances will soon gro .eautifully less. But if it go with the eagle u ho United States, there is no s4aying to what rain ant excesses the authorities of that Governmer tay proceed ; nor can we properly estimate t ,hat extent it may increase the rway of Vlne topublicanisn over the North and North-wes . brief series of triumphs on t',eif side might re iult in imparting an enthusiasm to the cause < :oercion, before which the better nen of the 01l >osing section would be obliged to succumb. I uight afeo greatly weaken the position of tit onfederate States before the world. The deduction fromt this view is obviously this Chat the Provisional Government of the Confed rate States should spare no pains and no expens .o ensure to our standard safety and success trot he outset. Thu whole credit of these State hould be pledged, if need be, to procure at one tnd on the largest scale all the murist approve neans and untuitions of war, both for naval an and engngements. The energies of our new ri era should be bent in this directiun with iron pur >ose, and no other inatter should be allowed t asurp one iota of the cUro fund concern which thi ,ime necessity demunds of them. In the lruset sorture of the Slave States,' and in view of 11h islverse o(linions every where mnnre or lass e:mil ained towarls their social system, it is all impaor ant that they should appear s'roug (as they real y are) in the first blow they stike. Hence, there is cause of gratitude to the nu horities of South Carolina for their firmness i ersisting to prepare for the taking of Fort Suit er, despite the aiLteIst insulting taunts of the dis atisfied. They have not only shown a magani uous enre for the lives of brave Southerners, bu hey have done the South signal service, by traintin the-ir t ing it, ato wple prejmaratoan insteat f rushing blindfolded upon a most hazardous ex eriment. If they are not yet fully ready, w rust they will continue tit brave all disconten ntil they are so. As of South Carolina, so of the Government o he Confederate States, the true poolicy is t) fur er and prepare as long ais possible, consistentl, rithl honor. What we want, 1ta prertl r'fth .tite, tar, is nu opeiing f trillarnt actions on ou art. If this fail to produce that renult, we shal t least have begun the chapter with the uoralt f military glory.

Would that, the spirit of independence could come over this great city with the power of a rushing, mighty wind ! Who could doubt the D daz!ing splendor of her career ? What will England Do?

The main dilfi tilty it scenms to an11ticipate is that the South mtay not consider itself bound lay existing treaatils to desist from the slave trade. It will see soon by the netion alreatly taken by the seceding States, that no such difficulty need be anticipated.

W.LSaITcro, February 24.-It is understood thr.t Commissioners to the Peace Congress from several Southern States, including North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland'and Kentucky, have united on a request to the Southern Congress to delay the attauk upon Fort Sumter until after the inaugura tion of Lincoln, and the nature of his policy is an nounced. It is geuerally conceded that the Poace Congress will be unable to effect an adajustmont. It is evidently the policy of the Republicaus to postpone at settlement until Lincoln gets into office, when they hope by threats or promises to compel the Border States to acquiesce. In the Sonate to-day, Mr. Wigfall, of 'Pexas, strongly opposed the postal suspension bill, which passed, however, after a lonthy debate, and some amendments. Several wiscolln-cous bills were debated. In the House the tariff bill was passed with one hundred and fifty amendments. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, was ondeavoring to get tp his force bill.
