II quite evident that the attack on the rebels
at Bulls Run, at the time and in the manner in
which it was made, was in opposition to the judg-
ment Of Gen. Scott. His programme and the
impatience Of smaller men with it were thus
alluded to by an officer in the army, who ad-
dressed the n. Y Times on the subject as early
as the Ttb Of July last:
Ignorant persons are constantly blaming the
eminent chief Of our armies for dilatornesS in not
directing an advance Of our forces in Virginia.
Il Is not with view OF defending his action,
(Which consider far above the criticism of any
man in the land) but in some sort to quiet the
minds Of the people Of the country, now restlessy
determined on some new excitement, that ven

A battle is not an end but means. II the
end can be gained in any other process, q good
soldier spares the lives Of his men. II Gen. Scott
orders nOV an attack on Manassas, he will do 30,
in my opinion, TO quiet popular clamor, and not
because It is good or proper move.
Suppose Manassas attacked and taken; the
enemy, protected By his batteries and his cavalry,
will fall back in good order to his next fortified
position. This process is then repeated; and

Mcclellan will, while he has good linz Of retreat

the entire ruin of the Confederate army.
The enemy is, however, commanded by gener-

probably be advanced, taking the direct road to
Richmond, while McClellan's army, constantly
acting upon the flank and near the base Of the

north that this attempt to break up the Union
should fail"
These revelations conclusively prove that this
rebellion is the result Of the deliberation Of
years. No compromise that could have been
agreed to BY the North would have avaiIed
aught to prevent it. The time had arrived for
the conspiratOrs against the perpetuity Of the
Union to act, and it was not in the power Of any
party or set Of men, North or South, other than
the actors themselves, to avert it. Had the la
rnented Douglas been elected President, or even
conservative Southern man, the same result
would have followed. OF this no unprcjudiced
mind can have doubt.
In view Of these facts, how silly II is to prate
about compromise, and to charge upon the pre-
sent administration the existing civil war. The
whole thing was conceived, COncOcted, and ready
for execution before Abraham Lincoln vas
thought Of for President, and that miserable old
imbecile and arch traitor, James Buchanan, was
ccgnzant Of it from beginning to end. It may
