WHAT is LINCOLN DRIVING AT!

The PaItizans of the Administration, who
are 50 violent in their denunCiations Of all who
do not approve Of the policy of civil war, do
not pretend that war will result either in the
enforcement of the laws or the restoration
OF the Union. On the contrary, the
admission is explicitly made that ''war
with the seeded States will not bring them
back into the Unlon." Indeed, ater the daily
exhibitions Of intense hatred to the Southern
States, made by tina: class OF Republican Jour
mails most anxious for war, it is impossible to
believe that they desire to be again associated
with the seeded States, If, then, war is not
to bring these States back into the Union, what
is its object When we are called upon to
stand by the Administration, o0e sCouid Ike to
knofg Obat the administration IS driUiag al.

TUE MEpHIsroPHnEs OF ABOLITION ON GENE
RAJ. CAMERoN's REroRT.-Thc Tribune, in one Of
its articles yesterday, endeavors to make it
appear that there was heated discussion be-
tween the President and the Secretary Of War
in reference to that portion of the report of the
latter which treats of the use to be made of the
slaves of rebels. The object Of this is Of course
to show that there are irreconcileable differ
ences in the Cabinet on the subject. The report
itself, as it appeared yesterday, is the best
answer that can be made to such assumptions.
Had there been any such scene as that described
it would have been followed by General Came
ron's immediate resignation. All that passed
between the President and the Secretary was
what usually occurs when mistake has been
made by one gentleman and an explanation is
demanded by another. The error was promptly
and cheerfully corrected, and there was an end
of the matter. 1t is useless for the abolition
rgans to try to SOW the seeds Of discord In

IRoN-PLArEp SHIPS FOR Orr NAvY-By the
report of the Secretary Of the Navy we find that
three iron-clad steamers are now being built,
and that he recommends the building Of twenty
additional vessels of the same kind. They are
undoubtedly costly, and there is difficulty as
the Secretary remarks in combining the heavy
armament with the light draft desirable for the
coast service. But by all means let us have
them. They are just the sort Of craft we stand
most in need of, and their draft can easily be
regulated according to size and our naval re-
Guirements, With the two hundred and sixty
four vessels, mounting in the aggregate 1851
guns, already constituting our naval force, these
armor steamers, and others in process of con-
struction, will raise us to the dignity of great
naval Power, and we shall be well able to cope
with any or oil Of the European Powers ON the
high seas as we'll as on land. Congress will
doubtless act upon this recommendation OF the
Department.

COMMISSIONERS FOR THE ARMY.-The Secre-
tary of War, in his report, suggests that Con-
gress shall give authority to the President to
send commissioners with the army with powers
to exercise oil the functions OF local govern
ment wherever the civil authority has ceased to
exist We do not concur in this recommends
ton. The history of the first French Revolu-
ton offers too many examples Of fearful abuses
resulting from the delegation of the powers Of
government in this form to render them safe Of
imitation. Civil commissioners, armed with
irresponsible authority of this kind, are very
apt to become despots. There is this further
objection to them, that there would be-as was
the case under the Directory constant clash
ing of jurisdiction between them and the milf
tary chiefs. The safer course-as has been
already shown in the course Of the present
warts to appoint to the command Of expedi-
lions entering the rebel States generals COM
bining political experience with their military
qualities. Men like Generals Mcclellan, Banks
and Dix are fully competent to deal with all
the civil and legal questions that may arise on
the military occupation of district. We have
seen how, in the Provost Court of Alexandria,
military man has given satisfaction to large
body of suitors in cases involving some impor-
tant legal difficulties. This precedent may be
everywhere advantageously followed until the
re-establishment of the authority Of tho govern
ment justiies return to the regular forms oflaw.
No necessity has, besides, been shown for the
creation of civil commissioners such as are recon-
mcnded. 1t is true they might have been Of
some use in coexistent jurisdiction with COM
mander 50 unequal to the duties of his position
as General Fremont. The exception, however,
only proves the rule established by the success
of the policy initiated by the other generals
mentioned above, that it is safer to entrust to Q
single authority in time Of war the military and
civil administration of a rebellious district than
to divide it between officers whose training and
prejudices would be sure to bring them in con-
fict.
