While the administration, and the coun.
try to considerable extent, have been halt.
ing about assuming decided and unequiv-
ocal position with regard to rebel slave pro-
perty, Fremont has taken every one by sur
prise by the bOldness of the ground taken
by him, and the Inauguration Of policy for
the government. 1t was q conception of
his own mind, which the governmet has con-
siderately weighed and approved. Since
this manly stride, others have followed, aud
it really begins to look as If respiration was
hereafter to be much freer. Forpey Of the
Philadelphia Press comes frankly out, and
ridicules the folly Of attempting to ignore
the question in this war, aud Mr. Russell,
of the London Times, sends home the aus
picious word that the patrisrchGl institution
is Of necessity doomed. The progress Of the
war is effecting changes in public sentiment
which il contemplated only from week TO
week, fills Us with astonishmeut. There is
however but little virtue in the advance, for
the policy which VIC have all recognized,
has been the lodging policy, or which is
worse, determined use of the brceching
sitting back like very donkeys. We are
driven of necessity to the occupancy of tn,
positions We have so stoutly deprecated
There is nothing truer than that "there is
divinity that shapes our ends, rough hug

1t is conceded that by the constant and
untiring labors of our gallant troops our
works, from the Chain Bridge to four
miles south Of Alexandria, are perfect and
impregnable. Indeed, within the points
mentioned, extending over q distance o
about fifteen miles, they may be considered
one continuous fortress-a line of the mos

They know him, have confidence in him
love him, aud are SO inspired by his pres
euce that they will follow where he leads
though it be into the very jaws of death
They are no longer complaining of the quar-
termaster and Commissary departments
have learned TO love camp life. They are
healthy, and, what is more, they know uhey
are not lighting against right, but feel that
they are douby fortified in the great fact
that they are sustaining the government
supporting the d flag, aud perpetuating a
Union that will long survive the memory OF
the vile traitors who seek to DESTROY il.
There is no desire on the part of our gen.
erals or men 10 put off q decisive battle if
