The Policy of the Administration.

A dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune, dated
Washington May lst says that .the fact is al
last demonstrated beyond the shadow Of
a doubt that the policy of the Aduinistra-
ton, now and henceforth, is war. To this
conclusion Mr. Lincoln has urged his Cab
net for ten days past Messrs. Chase, Blair,
aud Cameron entered heart and soul into tie
plan, and but for the watering of Messrs.
Seward and Welles on this point the Cabinet
would have been a unit. Mr.. Welles has re-
esiyed such letters, petitions, and appeals
from bis own State as have insured his con-
version to an anti-peace doctrine, and finally
Ar. Seward has added his ~undoubting assent
to the necessity Ofsueh a course.
Senator Wilson, with Judge Hoar ofMass.
called upon Mr.. Lincoln and each member of
the Cabinet to-day, and urged upon them the
imperative demand OF the country that active
and positive aggressive measures be adopted.
Twice they saw M. Lincoln, whose whole
nature seems bent upon reassertiDg the digni-
t. AID unity or this great nation before the
eyes of the world.
"Fbe country may rest assured that the
course OF the Administration has been, Is,
and WILDE Onward and upward. The stand
ard will suffer no degradation while in its
hands. Nothing, in the end, will have been
lost, and all good men will agree in CON-
m~endadcns upon the action Of our leaders

may not but however that is, they will b.

the fathers and younger sons, have a work to
do no less than those who shoulder the
musket and aght hand to hand with tie

the field before the battle was won. This
was led by Gen. E. K. Smith, of Florida, for

part of Gen. JohnstOn's column from Win

day before, but were prevented by an acci-

To do this, he extended his lines, which he
was enabled TO do by reason of his great num-

quired corresponding extension of our own
lines to prevent his extreme right from out

I'd it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
ments, as the further the enemy extended his
right. the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to counteract the move

This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
hours during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
uaIe fortunes. The enemv's column cOutin-
