The President has disappointed
three sets Of men grievous.y. First,
the rabid aboliionists OF the Lloyd
Garrison school, who were anxious
to see slavery abolished, no matter
whether the Union was destroyed or
not. Secondly, the Intense pro-
slsyeryites who wanted TO see sla.
very preserved whether the Union
was or not and, thirdly, the seces
sionists.
The first would have made the
war Tor the Union a war against
slavery. They demanded the i'm
mediate emancipation OF all slaves;
those owned BY loyal as well as dis
loyal citizens. This course would
have detached from the Union cause,
Thousands and tens OF thousands OF
sound Union men in Kentucky,
Tennessee. Missouri, Virginia and
Maryland, and would have utterly
ruined the cause, fol "A the Union
tncn ot the South rests the hope oi d
final peace. The President, with
the sagaciIy ani ftrict regard io'
Justice that has alw~ys characlerlzeo
him, turned u deaf ear to their en-
treaties and menaces. Therefore
they denounce him.
Tue pro sl"veryitcs who insisted
uppn the sscredness Of the instltl
ton, were as dangerous to the coun
try ~ the others he treated then
with just as little consideration, anc
ia denounced by them just as bitter
'iy as by the others. Where slavery
is in the way oi tho restoration Of
the Union it is to be crushed re-
mprssiessly. II is placed upon ,h'

OF THE WAR COMMITTEE. - The
Washington Chronicle eaye:--The
public are looking forward with
much interest to the report of the
joint committee on the conduct oI
the war, of which the Hon. Ben
jamin. f. Wade, Senator from Ohio.
is chairman. We do not expect any
startling disclosures, or rich devlop
ments, but simple and succinci
history OF this war from the begin
ming. General Mcclellan, General
Fremont, General Patterson, and
numerous other officers OF high
rank have been examined. The de
feat at Manassas, the massacre at
Balls Bluff, the death o, Lyon, and
many other mysterious military pro-
ceedings will be explained, and the
country will know who to blame.--
There are many advantages in such
a committee. 1t shows that the
just supremacy Of the civil powe.
over the military is maintained, and
il prevents our army from becoming
what many have dreaded--a close
corporation, and eventually an agent
Of tyranny.
In this connection We cannot bu,
allude to the labors Ex-senator Wade
as the Chairman, and his colleagues
on the Committee. It was immcdi.
ate y organized, and its labors pros
ecu,ed with amazing prompti:ude -
The Senator from Ohio has been de
tained from his place in the Senate
to superintend the doiDgs OF the
Committee, and its sessions have
been almost constantly held, the
members meeting from day to day,
and seeking no time for relaxation,
or even Congressional duty, uuless

but when the Eastern State left,
everything looked favorable.
Tho Burnside Expedition sailed
from Hampton Roads on the 11th

OF over 1875 vessels of all classes
They arrived at Hatterss between

After the storm, it was discovered
that no vessel drawing over seven

could pass outside the bar, drawing
over thirteen feet of water, unless
very skilliully piloted. Consequent
ly, the City Of New York struck on

cargo valued at 100000, Of pow

total loss. Her crew was saved.

horses belonging to the Rhode Island

The Administration and the War.

Patience is not a characteristic OF

have to do they want done in hur.

self in everything pertaining to the
war. The administration has been
bersted, the Generals abused and
every one connected with i. censur.
ed because the rebellion was not
crushed in three months after the
battle Of Bull's run.
As the policy Of the administra
tion and its generals is developed
the people see that the work has
been progressing quite as fast as
prudence would permit, and they
acknowledge the wisdom and fore
sight of those at the head Of affairs.
The fact is, the strength Of the re.
bells and the extent to which they
had prepared for the work they had
determined to do, was not suspected

ed at Manassas, and the result was,
as might have been antici ated, a
disaster that almost decided the war
against us. One such blunder was
sufficient for the President, and he
determined that the clamors OF an
inn atient people should never force
him into q repetition. Matters pro-
gressed slowly after that, but every
step was a sure one. First an army
was to be raised large enough to do
the work, then that army must be
armed and disciplined. This was
the work not of weeks, but oI
months. This accomplished, there
we're two ways Of crushing them. -
The army OF the Potomac could have
marched again upon Manassas, and
probably driven them out, bus this
would have been accomplished only
by enormous losses on our part, and
no lasting results could have follow.

slower but suror.
The Port Royal expedition was

South Carolina. General Wool's
force was increased at Fortress Mon.
armies were concen

rebels, in Maryland and Virginia,
and an immense force marched into
Kentucky to cut them off in that di
