WAR BUDGET.
THE REBELS DISCOURAGED BY INAoTroN, AND
EXPECT LONG WAR.
From the Richmond whig.l


honorable peace. But different policy |
has obtained. We of the South, who |
were to attack, have adopted system of de-
fense, and, so far, have uniformly awaited |
the advance of the foe. This may be the |
safer policy; but we have never been able to |
appreciate it. Our conviction is, that vic |
torious advance into the enemy's country is |
the only road to a lasting and honorable |
peace. We must fight, and we must con-
quer, before we can make treaty. If we can |
not do this we must submit to the fate ofthe |
weaker party. The enemy have dominion Of |
the sea; he can assail us at almost innumer- |
able points; he can plunder our coasts and |
penetrate our rivers. He is supreme in the |
Chesapeake Bay; he commands the Potomac;
he has possession of Maryland, of North
western Virginia, and is contending for Mis-
souri, and Kentucky. While he threatens our
whole coast, he may assail us at any point Of
our extended frontier. This whole situation
must be altered before we can have peace on
any terms compatible with honor and safety.
We have never heard of any plan sug-
gested for effecting this desirable alteration
short of carrying the war into the enemy's
country. While we stand on the defensive,
and the enemy is intrenched on this side of
the Potomac, it is impossible for us to destroy
his supremacy at sea, or prevent his pre-
dstory incursions on our coast. We are
subjected to all the disadvantages Of a defen-
slVS war vi OT JO u p6hC0
dictated by the enemy. The possibility OF
our success is not within range OF accident.
To prevent our subjugation or extermina-
tion is all we can hope for.
