Entreuchcd Positions.

Its little rem mrkable that The rebels
have never succeeded in driving any par
titular advantage from the great entren'
ched positions which they have been SO
fond of holding, Their fondness for
depending on these, rather than move
mOnls in the field, is no doubt due, at
least in part to the fact that tlcir move.
ments have been guided to SO great an
an extent by Beauregard-wh is an
engineer and not q tactician. Napier
makes some remarks upon this line Of
policy, which seems 10 bear very directly
upon the course pursued by tho rebels
so far, and which they are still following
at Chattanooga and Corintb Deelar-
ing that in the defeat Of the French on
the Nivelle, "Soult Jared as most Gene.
rails will who seek by extensive lines to
supply the wants Of numbers or of har
dincss in the troops" Napier adds
alt is not meant by this to dccry on
trenched camps within compass, and
around which m active army moves as
on a pivot, delivering or avoiding battle
according to circumstances. The objec.
ton applies only to those extensive GOV.
ering lines By which soldiers ore taught
to consider themselves inferior in strength
and courage to thoir enemies. A Gene.
raj is thus prcclulcd from shoing himself
atimporlant points and at critioalporiods;
he is unable to encourage his troops or
10 correct errors; his sudden resources
and the combination Of genius arc cxclu.
ded by the necessity OF adhoring to the
works while the assaianls may make
whatever dispositions they like, menace
every point and select whcro to break
through. The defenders, seeing large
masses directed against them, aud una
bic to draw confidence from n like dis.
play of numbers, become fearful, know
ing there must be Somo weak point which
is the measure of strength fol, the whole.
The assailarts fall on with That heat aud
vehemence which belongs 70 those who
act voluntarily on the offensive; each
man strives to Guido those on its right
and left, and failure. is oaIy ropulsc,
whereas the assailed having no resopr-

1nE CAprunG OF RIcnMoNp.-Tho
Richmond Examiner has the following cd
itorial:
The Northern mind has settled down
upon tho purpose Of over running Vir.
ginia and capturing Richmond, the Con
iedcrate capaI, at every cost. In this
enterprise all hearts arc enlisted, and up.
on it all the energies Of their Govern
ment are bent. For this purpose they
have assembled an army oflsO,0OO men,
including that of Burnside, which they
regard as one Of the most formidable in
machinery. discipline aud equipment that
ever took the field. What ever be the
grit and stamina Of the men, there is
probably no doubt that it possesses all
the advantages which wealth and pains
can give 10 troops.
Ii is certain that the North regards
the demonstration against Richmond as
the grand coup Of the war, and we need
not conceal from ourselves that the dan.
ger is serious and formidable.
