Waiting Patiently.

The American people are waiting
-anxiously watching and waiting for
news OF Importance from the Federal
army. 1t has met with several reverses
since the campaign commenced, yet
there is not loyal heart which does
not hold strong and abiding faith in
the prowess Of tie army Of the Govern.
meht-an mistaken confidence in it's
ability to meet and rcpel in the most
faithful manner the hosts of rebellion.
The disasters at Big Bethel, Bulls Run,
Springfield and Lexington have had no
dampening effect, but on the contrary
have charged the great, loyal heart Of
the nation with fresh courage, and an
invincible desire to meet and with
ponderous blow crush out the enemies
Of our country.
But what are We waiting for! Why
not push ahead at once?
We are waiting to discipline a vast
army, before improperly organized, lack
ing bone and muscle lack for want of
system of army corps, divisions and
brigades with permanent commanders.
This is being done silently and vigorous.
~ everywhere under the command Of
experienced and iudefatigable generals.
We are waiting to increase our artillery
and perfect the practice waiting for
cavalry, at first undervalued, at all times
requiring toll, time, and great expense to
provide; We are waiting to let diver
sions on the Southern coast Operate
magnetioally upon Virginia; We are
waiting for the coming frosts and the
r'gors OF Northern winter, which will
last decimate the enemies cohorts We
are waiting to take advantage Of their
want Of clothing and supplies which will
operate more powerfully upon them
than Northern steel and bullet.
These are few Of the things We are
waiting for. They are all marshallino
to overthrow the foul plot of treason
Let rs wait with patience, putting our
trust in Him who labors with those who
labor for the right in opposition to the
wrong.
