our towns aud farus worth, if ravagei BY
Rebel armies, lie ,5e towns aud farms Of
Virginia. While M'ClclInn is cooped up
on the james river, the Ro5els may try a
dash into Cumberland Valley. The rich
granaries, horses, and cattle, the house
hold products, the good money, and all
the accumulated produces Of the honest
Industry Of PENNSYLVANIA, is looked npoD
with longing eyes by the bankrupt Slave
lords Of the Rebellion. To keep them on
their own soil, we want n,cn, of oHce. To

Changes in the Conduct Of the War

failed to prove hin to be Commander Of
those comprehensive and energetic quail,
ties required upon his feli. Gen Lander
was his agent in the victories Of Western
Virginia attributed to M'Clellan. In
spite Of the fact that ali the Rebel sympa-

his ineffective policy, We believe him to
have been weil-meaniug, careful, aad
solicitous Of great results at the leas. loss
Of life. His errors now are eyideu; to all,

erred as he did. M'Dowel's loss Of
Bull Run, and M'C!el.al Of Richmond,
have each added six mouths to the War.
