as those which marked the earlier periods OF the

stead Of being attacked, pursued, and destroyed;
that the spade will be dropped and the bayonet re-
sumed. In other words, that the policy OF the Ia.
bian Davis will yield to that Of the NaPolsonic

The first step toward the result should be that in
timsted BIZ the President-a determination not to
defend unimportsnt points with small bodies Of
troops. as at Hatteras, Roanoke Island Forts Henry
and Don, lson-a policy which alone has caused tho
disasters incurred by us at these places. The nee.

neat reioindsr to an anti MccLrLLaS article in
the Tribune: g5a.E.a sea y lissi eo
The Tribune, of yesterday morning, denies
TO Gen. Mcclellan the credit Of planning the
great series of victories which have steadily
driven the rebel forces from all their chosen
stroHsholds, because, fprsSoth, "he does not d.
rect the movements Of the rebel Generals. y.
OF course he does not, expect In the way oil
compelling them to fight the National forces
with almost certainty Of beirg beaten, or re
treat before them; which has been done pretty
effectually Did any General ever direct the
movements OF his enemy In any other wsy?-
But in another article the Tribune, coming again
to Judgment upon matters military, says: 1--WE
consider the vide dispersion OF our forces mis-
take" This touches the very point al issue be-
tween the Tribune and Gen Mcclellan II the
General--we mean the army General--has dis
persed our forces for the purpose OF drawing

sElSuRE OF ALE-We learn that on satur

the Four Mile House, near Camp Chase. KEEP

several kegs and bottles Of ale manufactured
by Messrs. Say 4 Co, Of this cisy, asserting
that the seizure was made by order of Colone
Moody. ..ll .trr7t TquTbEf
Our information does not enlighten Us as Il
what was done with the ale co seized as afore
said. On that point We have some curiosity
chiefly on account of the excellent qualities Of
Messrs. Say & Co.'s ale, and the high terms In
which we hear those who have used it speak oi
It as beverage.
Should ''military necessity" be thought "a
require any further seizures Of the said ale
as "cOntraband Of war;" We respectfully sugges
to "the powers that be" the propristy Of con
fscatlng it for "the use, benefit and behoof" oI

"Eiiher slavery or the Union must be dc.
stroyed In this war;" says Owen Lovejoy. That
is the essence Of abolilionlsm and abolition de-
votion to the Union. II the abolitionlsts are
permitted to use the powers of the Union to de-
stroy slavery, then they are Union men for that
purpose. If they are not thus permitted, then
they propose 70 destroy the Union. Their
measures In Congress are much better designed
to accomplish the latter than the former object.
