Beginning to See.

L hss been remarked that every day the usurp
sr failed to "crush the rebslon7 added strength t,
the Confederates, but that the enemy dad not per
eeirs this, and believed he could worry US cut b
the mare lapse Of time. The enemy however is be
ginning to perceive the drift of things alitte. he
Is becoming suspicious that, after al, it is the
Confederate, ard not the FeIerals, that have been
gaining By time. TIE Columbus (Ohio) Cribs in a
late article frankly says, referring to the COnfed
esatss: Time with them was everything; ard
have they not gained it, and at the sane time liter
ally overrua the Southwest ~ The Ofisis goes en-
IS fellows:
Now where are we We have scarcely the
courage to tell our readers where we are Had
the money and tine been spent in sending aid TO
General Lyon that has been spent IN humbug flo
till Gen. Lyon would now be IN possession Of Fort
smith, holding all Missouri, Kansas and the whole
Indian cougtry in check, instead Of in his grave IN
Conuec1cut. Nov ali this is for the present lost
and kentucky likely to give US as much as we
want to 90 for a few weel s.
Less than two hundred thousand men cannot now
DO what twenty-five thousand might have done two
months ago."
The Cincinnati G1zsas-a very Black Republican
organ agrees substantially with its late opponent
ex Kansas-Gov MEDARY, of the Crisis and intimates
in so many words that BEAUEEGLRD has out-gener
aid NoC1xLLASn in causing the latter to keep go
great force at Washington IN apprehension Of an
attack upon that place thus giving our friends in
Missouri, Kentucky, and elsewhere, an opportunity
to get everything right in those quarters 1t viii &c
seen says the New Orleans B1tgetl) that what the
croakers have been complaining Of JOHNSTON, BEAU
REGARD and the President for, is just what the sup
p1rters of LINCOLN despOtism adduce as q master
stroke Of policy, at which they feel not little chag
rined! We have gained tiHs-that all important
consideration, to fOrtIfy our coasts, to provide
ammunition to allow the full effects of the despOts
to organize il Missouri and Kentucky
etc etc, and not to speak Of the effects of time upon
the question of our recognition abroad. We rather
think that when all the facts and reasons for them
are known. the President and his advisers will be
f5uad to have pursued wise, mastery policy.
