Journals.
The war is assuming a new phase. lis spirit
has crossed the Potomac, and has affected the
turbulent journals Of Gotham. The Herald, the
Tribune, the Times, and the Horid, are all en-
broiled in a big quarrel, and am daily playing
sad havoc with each others bacon, by indis|
criminate discharges Of their editorial blUnder.

The Herald, of the 20th in an article entitled
q More White-hyered Sensation journalism"
brings the offenders" before the public in the
following terse style:
First as to the Tribune: Greeley never kept
the promises he made when he sniveled out.
" Forgive me just once more and begged the
Heraid's mercy for his past tTansgresSl0ns- As
soon as he recovered from the brain fever into
which the poor victims Of Manassas scared him,
and the mob which his fever coniured up had
vanished with his doctors he renewed his muck
upon the Union cause, and was seized with an
attack of too much Fremont on the brain. lie

choice because he is kept ont ofthe kitchen, and
because it refuses TO make this a war of emanci-
patton. He assais our President and our gem

win say that theObject Of this article was not 10
discourage contractors, but 20 reform the govern

asserted that its object in critcising military
movements was not to defeat, but 70 refor n our
army Was that the effect
The people look at results and not at alleged
Objects and the result Of the TriJHRes articles is
reasonable and criminal Hearty support, not
criticism, is what the government asks from all
true patriots The government win correct lis
faults as il hest can, and needs no hint from the
Tribune. Every such criticism from an honest
or a dishonest motive, is a blow at the Union
and an aid TO the rebel cause. But the Tribune
shows itself more plainly in an article on the
Edwards Ferry affair. i should have been
written by Uriah Heep, il is 50 ''very tumble,
and so bitterly vindictive. II begins by dis
claiming any intention 10 say anything, and
ends by sneakingly insinuating that Gen Ne
Clellan is to blame for the 'taiuTe and loss in
the affair. When It is considered that there was
no failure about the matter, the obieet of the
Tribune becomes very apparent. The Gloss"
was one Of the ordinary casualties OF war, and
even th the Tribune exaggerates. In yester-
days Tribune, also We find articles OF the same
cowardly stamp, arguing the superiority Of the
rebel generals and attacking our own; As well
as articles upon the great naval expedition, pub
shed against the express wish OF the President,
and after repeated and solemn pledges Of secrecy.
For this otfeDse alone, no punishment Is too
great for the Tribune.
Next as to the Timcs and BOrd-taking these
two offenders together. Raymond has recovered
the breath he lost during his scampeT from the
phantom Black Horse cavalry, and is determin-
ed that his revelations OF the Union plans and
his aid and comfort 10 the rebel cause shall not
cease with his report Of Gen. ScOtts aiteT-dinneT
condolences, but shall only be limited by his lin
tied knowledge Even the oath be was obliged
10 take during his visit 10 Fortress Monroe, does
not seal his lips or prevent bis giving treason
able information. In Saturday. Times he gives
the best account he can Of the great secret naval
expeditions about starting for the South and
it is not bis fault if the object Of that expe-
dition is not thus defeated for by this time, the
