We do not pretend to predict to what rssai
this mutual desire and anxiety fora more VIZ
orous prosecution Of the var or its soando' %
ment may lead. We only note II down as 90 90
of the important phases of the present pnnspp
conflict. But it would seem at least to inai
cate that the people, both North and souio' ar
slowly learning one great lessOh-that the
must take up this war question themselves an ~
depend less upon great leaders, either sifeao'
or hereafter to arise, in the Cabinet o.. tn
field. Il the forms and principles Of irec s's
eminent, to which the macs of our country men
North and South, are, we doubt nos, sslii Aro
emily attached, are NOT to be set aside, the pee pee
ule, no, civil or military giants, must prosecu'
and end this war As soon as the popular wi
