The New York Tribune.

Observation-Disclosures -Nu'"''''o u '"N'
ing journal, when such charges cannot
be sustained against it? The Du-
buquc Times Of late seems to take cs-
pecial delight in vilfying the Tribune,
copying therefor from the " World"
would-bc-rivaI journal, and from the
correspondence Of the Tribune. Please
publish the following as sample
apparently original with the Times,
which l cut from that sheet, under
date of July Sd:
The New York Tribune is doing
more mischief than any other paper
in the United states, North or South.

rotary of State thinks Gen. Scott is
too slow and don't know his own bust
ness, and is doing all it can to under
mine the confidence of the people IN
the Administration. Mr.. Greedy prob
ably wants to take Gen. SCOTS place,
and some other editor of that paper
it is not unlikely, wants the place OF
Secretary Seward.
Also the following Editorial from
the Tribune of the Goth June, previous
to the above paragraph from the
Times, that the people may see upon
/, what foundation such charges are

SLOW AND SURE.-That the country,
doomed to enormous, unprecedented
loss and waste by this most wanton,
flagitious rebellion, should clamor for
its summary suppression, is natural,
human, unavoidable. That our young
soldiers should insist on being led to
battle the day after their enlistment
need excite no surprise. Having vol
untccrcd to fight for the Union against
secession, they cannot see why, since
there are S,cessionists in arms
against the Government, they should
st not be let drive at those rebels. But
