ira ofwar papers--hesitating not to de-
nounce in the most bitter terms and
calling for summary vengeance on De
mocratic papers which did not yield a
hearty and cordial support of every act
of the Administration. 1t is fully as
bad now as the Banner of Re-Union,
and we call the attention of Marshal
Sands to the following article from that
paper .t........rE.,
The CONDUCT OF THE WAR.-There is

messed so sublime and uprising Of great peo-
pie. What has been the response Of the
Government? United States property, an
immense amount, destroyed or left at Nor
folk for the use Of the rebels and that place
OF vast importance in our naval and military
operations they are permitted quietly to
possess. Opposite Fort Pickens Bragg is
permitted to build his batteries and strength
en- his position, the only exploit on the part
of our troops to relieve the dullness Of eight
months inactivity being the burning Of a
floating dock which had been constructed at
an immense cost, and must again be replaced
if the United States Government ever estab-
lish.s its authority again over the place.

movement" ofthe "Grand Army" ends in
panic and route as disastrous as it was
disgraeeful; and it SO ends because, at the
same time that the posts and strength ofthe
enemy had never been properly ascertained
by the officers, they led against them forces
half demoralized by imperfect discipline,
and incumber, d by the unwarrantable pres
ence OF throng of civilians. Then comes
the draining OF the whole country to. sur

and dislodge him from his advance position,
he, after losing several men in consequence
OF his troops firing on each other, surrounds
and takes-a deserted camp. The great
mercy and forbearance Of the Government
are all the while shown in the retaining Of
rebel clerks in the Departments, in the en-
largement of rebel prisons, and in the sctu
pulous arrest and turning back of the free

make the catalouge complete; but there are
other items relating 10 tie conduct Of The a0art

not speak OF the impolicy OF draining the
resources Of the West to swell the Grand
Army OF Occupation around Washington,
thus not only leaving long line Of frontier

impossible. We will attempt no defense of
Fremont. Hemay be incompetent arrogant
and wasteful. Time and investigation must
determine. But that he has been hunted

the public mind cannot be blinded to the
fact. We wish that the Administration
