The Last standpoints Of the Rebellion
Richmond and Corinth-What II ON
Policy3

Richmond and Corinth-What II Our
Policys
The concentration OF the rebellion at two
points-Richmond- and Corinth-lsaves the
federal government completely master Of the
situation Nothing but impotence, or too great
sensitiveness to newspaper criticism on the
part Of our generals, can possibly deprive it OF
this advantage. At both these places the rebels
are being closely surrounded and their commu-
nications with their sources Of supply cut of
On Richmond Mcdowell is advancing from the
north, Banks from the northwest, Mcclellan
from the southeast Fremont from the west and
Burnside from the south. Our gunboats, be-
sides, command all the water approaches to the
city. At Corinth the position Of things is
equally satisfactory Whilst on the east Beau
regards force is completely hemmed In by
Halleck's main army, Pope and Mitchell are
operating further south, cutting off all his rail-
road communications. To the north of him
General Lew. Wallace is also in movement,
blocking up the avenues Of escape in that
direction; and due south is the force under
General Butler. Between Farragut and Davis
the river communications Of the enemy are re.
duced to very small range, and the surrender
or destruction Of his few remaining gunboats
is only question of days. Situated thus at his
last points Of resistance, and where he has
staked everything on this new policy Of con-
centration, only two alternatives remain open
to him-that Of giving battle under heavy dis
advantage, or Of seeing his armies demoralized
and wasted away.
| What is the true policy Of our generals under
these circumstances? There are assembled al
Richmond and Corinth armies amounting in the
| aggregate to considerably over half million
Of men. Humanity shudders at the prospect
J Of the slaughter that must ensue from conflict
I, between such immense hosts. Most people will
agree with us in the opinion that il Is the duty
| Of the federal commanders TO spare the elfusion
| of blood as far as is consistent with. the int.
| rests entrusted to them. II should be borne in
| mind that the blood thus shed will not be that
Of men who are strangers to each other, but Of
former brethren, Of people OF tho same race

EDWIN JAMES Ann THE NEW York BAR-We
publish in another column this morning a ra-
ther interesting correspondence relative to Mr..
Edwin James and his admission to the bar Of
New York. The gist of the whole matter is
that little clique Of lawyers is very anxious
to expel Mr.. James from the bar, to which he
was honorably admitted upon the recommends
ton Of Judge Edmonds. who always consults
the spirits before undertaking anything either
In law or gospel, and, therefore, knows pretty
well what he is about; and, to accomplish this,
this clique have trumped up the old charges Of
the English press, that Mr.. James borrowed
some money some time ago from noble lord in
England, and was unable to pay the debt thus
incurred Now, how many Of the fifteen hun
dred lawyers of New York are able to pay the
money they borrow? And how many more
would ever repay borrowed money II they
could find any one to lend 1t to them
The lawyers may ell be respectable men.
All of them are members Of the bar.
Some Of them are members of half .
dozen bars. Some Of them are deacons
of churches. Others deliver pious speeches ct
Sunday School anniversaries. Still, in spite
Of all these facts, there are but forty or
fifty gentlemen out Of these fifteen hundred
lawyers to whom we would lend ten dollars,
with any expectation Of ever having IL return
ed. We regard all this fuss about Mr.. Edwin
James, therefore, as much ado about nothing
q tempest in teapot-a mere ebullition Of
petty spites and jealousies. Mr.. James IL .
very talented man and an able lawyer He
can make money here, in his profession. When
he makes money enough he will doubtless pay
his English debts, like any other honest lawyer.
Why, then, should any impediments be placed
in his way Why should he thus'be prevented
from becoming an honest man.
