The Summer Campaign not Ended.

UG ouutntt R0i6h
There is no more common impression
than that the army has reached the close Of
military operations for tho Summer The
force OF Mcclellan. having gained an eleva-
ted and wholesome position upon the banks
Of the James. within easy reach OF transport
and gunboat. will. IL il assumed. need
months OF rest to regain the vigor and num-
bers necessary to carry on the war; and that
whilc the three hundred thousand men just
called to the field are making their way
thither. there will DC practical suspension
Of arms.
IL is curious how little currency this idea.
50 universal elsewhere, finds in the army it
self. Gen. Mcclellan, In speech and order.
assures his men that with brief delay no
and file talk with the utmost confidence Of
snteri-g Richmond in very few days. The
vhsle army is eager for fight Ii has &C :
gu red thorough self reliance as the fruit of
its weeks work in battle and victory; II has
acquired exhaustless confidence in It's lead
ers. Emerging from the pestiferous swamps
about the Chickahominy, il enjoys the invig.
Grating air of the uplands. Its physical as
well as moral tone is thus improved; no I'M
dertsklug ID TOO great for men who have
been 50 greatly tried; they only demand ac-
ton.
Nor 10 there anything in the general posi-.
ton of affairs which need prevent an early
compliance with this demand. All the losses
Of the successive battles which ended on the
lst inst., were counterbalanced at the time
by the gain of the new and better position
on the James, gain which added to the efy
fective force Of the army the corps Of Gen.
Fitzjohn Porter, previously wasted upon the
wardership OF the railroad: and which also
added the squadron Of gunboats, equivalent
Of itself to a reinforcement Of fifty thousand
men. What the gunboats may not do. now
that the energetic and capable Wilkes COM
mands them, We hardly venture TO say. To
these new elements Of strength must be ad-
ded the large accessions of troops from
Burnsides and Hunters Departments. and
we discover that the army before Richmond
is twice as formidable in every respect as IL
was before the encounter at Mechanicsyill.
All the odds are now turned in its favor. A
very brief period for rest and reorganization,
and the fate OF Richmond Is assured. All
the rebels can DO in the same short interval
10 repair their own trpnendous losses can
bear no proportion TO what has been already
done for Mcclellan. He is in all respects
the master Of The situation. He will move
shortly. and move surely; so shortly and
surely that IL need be no matter OF surprise
IL the anniversary Of Bull Run find our army
