Washington being now the central point Of
the current military operations, great attention
will bo paid to furnishing the readers Of the
National Republican with full, and especially

able me toIeplyto the numerous points wherein
differed from their author, and having no other
convenient organ Of communication, have been
content to let them 60 forth 10 the world unan-

there been no other preventing cause. have
not had the leisure to engage In controversy
With my very able reviewer. Z. ,,'5,,.,
But among those essays which have had the
privilege Of reading, there have been Few srro-

evinced is not yet exhausted. As wriss solely
