preston that the cabinet and the president
were anxious for a forward movement on &C
count Of The near expiration of the term OF
service Of so many troops. They probably
thought that q sharp battle would SO exaspe
rate The survivors as TO induce them to re-en-

enlistmenis everywhere. Thus far, we think,
it has not had that effect, but on the contrary,
