What is Requisite Now.

Everybody has his own explanation
of the cause of the recent army revers-
es-some censuring Generals, others
finding fault with the Administration,
and others denouncing everybody and
everything connected with the military
and official management.
There is but one true explanation of
our misfortuneS, and that is, want OF
sufficient troops, and the failure TO con
centrate properly those that we have
and there seems To he but one way TO
prevent the recurrence Of similar mis-
fortunes, aud that Is to send troops
enough against the rebels to outnumber
and overwhclm them, and to have good,
practical, able military commanders To
mass, organize and lead them properly.
The country is furnishing the needed
troops, and it is for the "powers that
be-" receiving grave and effective in
strnctiOn from recent events, to see to
it that the proper generalship is sup
piled.
If the Generals now with the armies
are not qualified for their places, re-
move them at once, and without the
least fear or favor, and put men in their
places who will understand their bust.
ness, in whom the army may have con-
fidenee, and whom the Government
may trust.
We have no particular favorite
among amy of the Generals, but have
been and are disposed to stand by those
whom the President deems trust
worthy, and this is the feeling that has
animated the masses of the loyal people
and we and they do nov look TO
" honest old Abe" te "prt lis foot
down" firmly once again, and regulate
this matter of leadership without re-
gard to political, or other influences,
but solely with view to inspire conf
dence in the rarmy and to insure the
success of the military operations. Let
the right men be put in the right places,
without the least regard To other con
siderations. This is what the country
and the army now demand, and the
President is too sensible man not to
do it. 2

Election In Maine.

CosToN, Sept. 9.-Sixiy- three towns
i'm Maine give the republicans ma "ri-
ty of 1902 against majority of 5,O47

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. Give have
returns from ninety one towns in the
State, giving the following vote for
governor: Coburn, rep } 1886 ;
Bradbury, (peace dem, l2,l7o; Jam
eson, Union dem. 1925. The same
towns last year gave Washburn 81, 1854,
Dana, Z, $3.50, Jameson, IT'S. ~ laa +
The aggregate vote this year will
probably fall short $4,000, the aggre-
gate vote of 1861 being lOO,5O3.
As we have returns nov from near
ly two fifth of the State, the loss. if it
continues, will leave the Republican
majority not over 5000. r-e
From appearances the Republicans
have carried four out of the FIVE Con,
gressional districts. The LIST Congress

he a large Republican majority in both
branches of the Legislature, though
not 50 large as last year.

time to fill up their quota without draft

their new and secure positions and re-
organizing for future operations. The
new troops are pouring into Washing
ton by thousands daily, and being
placed in positions to cooperate with
the old troops.
1t would seem, from the official re.
port of the Surgeon General at Wash.
ingtnn, that our losses in recent engage.
menls have been greatly exaggerated,
The total number of the wounded does
not reach 5000.
As to where the rebels now are, OIL
what they are doing, We have no def

forming any positive opinion as to the
future but there is reasonable con.
lecture that a formidable attempt will

Commodore. w. ID. Porter.

Commodore. w. ID. Porter, of the
gunboat Essex, who has Just made him
self 40 deservedly famous by the des-
truction Of the rebel iron clad ram Ar
kansas, is the son of the late Commo-
dore Porter whose exploits in the last
war are remembered. One of our CO.
temporaries has COMPOUNDED him with
Com. Porter, the commander of The
morter feet, who recently left Wash
ington on leave of absence for his
home.
Com. Porter is the commander of the
Essex, " hich vessel he mas had construc-
ted under his especial supervision. He
is the same who made so gallant a
fight at Fort Henry in FEBRUARY last,
when he was wounded by the splin,ers
from shot and afterwards so severe.
ly scalded that he lay at St. Louis for
several weeks at the point of death.
The flesh was completely stripped from
the greater part of his body, and at n
very late date his eyes Were weak in
consequence of injuries there received.
1t will be recollected that nearly fifty
lives were lost by the explosion of the
boilers of the Essex.
So soon as he was able to attend to
his duties he asked the permission of
the government to reconstruct the
Essex according to his own plan. So
soon as his boat was finished he started
down to Vicksburg, and reached there
in time to exchange shots with the Ar
kansas, though unable to move from
his position on account of burnt boiler.
His next operation was to CO. cooperate
with the ram Lancaster in destroying
the Arkansas, which failed for want of
concert of action by Commodores Da-
Wis and Farragut. Since then it APP
pears he has again engaged her single
handed, and, in bis own expressive
words, "blew her up"
The Commodore is notorious for his
fearlessness and bravery. He is plucky
even to the charge of rashness. 1t is
certain that during last winter, while
our fleet was lying at Cairo and the
rebel fleet at Columbus, Com. Porter
challenged Capt. Montgomery, of the
lannon's Grampus, to a combat with All
armed tug. The Boosting rebel was
-cowed, and refused. Hearing that
the Grampus laid under the batteries
OF Columbus, Com. Porter started
with small ting, with a howitzer ON
board one dark night, with the deter
mination to cut her out. The scheme
only failed by the vigilance of the SEN
tinel on shore, who gave the alarm as
the tug approached, and the Cramps
vas cut loose,
The particulars Of the recent en-
gagement have not yet reached us but
from the significant statements that
the crew of the Essex consisted of forty
men We may guess that it consisted
only of trusty volunteers, who shared
the dangers and the glory of the gal
liant Com. achievements.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.zOpe Of the
Times CORRESPONDENCE who has just re-
turned from Poolesvile saws: s,Wo.
learn that on Thursday night the rebels :
commenced to cross with cavalry at or
near the mantI, of the Monacy. They
brought over two regiments of cavalry

pickets toward PoolesviIle. On FRI

We're crossing III three places, besides
the bridge, the water being mp 10 a
mans waist. No resistance was offered
to their crossing. Sumo cavalry who
were watching them were attacked aud
chased to PooIesville. There tho
houses were closed and the streets
blockaded by the citizens. -.
The rebels fired upon our fl, ing Cav
airy as they passed. After dusk Gem
eral Lee rode into Pnolesvile at the.
head of four regiments of cavalry, aud
guided by a farmer who had been pro- Z
fesse.lly Union man. Their inf:.utry

Hill, Stuart and Fitzburgh Lee are
with the men. Their wagon trains
were crossing on Saturday aud Sunday
morning. The farmers are bringing in
hay and provisions of all kinds, aud
giving them away. There is not loyal
man, with one or two exceptions, there.
Women received them with flags aud
tokens of joy.
Sunday, i p. m. The following ac-
count has just been received from the
| Upper Potomac, and is believed Ia lie
reliable. The rebel force in the neigh
borhood of DarLestown and Clarksburg
is estimated at 5000, and is composed
entirely of cavalry. A body of the ene-
my about 500 strong, crossed tho
river last night, at Whites Ferry. aud
are supposed to be en- route to Fred.

across Seneca Creek, which was not
injured by the rebels on their return
from the recent dash on Jamestown.
1t has been ascertained that jackson

mouth of the Monancy, and passed
along the bank of the stream To Fred

Clarksburg, to day, says Jackson's
force is As, 900.

The Rebel Movements.

1t appears to he fact that force
OF rebels have crossed the upper Poto-
mac into Maryland but whatever their
purpose may be, they will not dare to
carry this game of invasion to any con.
sideable extent. They have their rear
to defend, their line of retreat to insure
and their communication with The
South to keep open; hence the with.
drawal OF any very large portion of
'helr forces south Of Washington to the
upper Potomac is not at all probable.
