They seem to want most everything.

From the editorial article of the Di,pateh
we take the following extract:
We have painful recollection of Man
assas, of the period of Iisilessness aud in-
action which followed that great triumph,
aud of the almost fatal consequences to
which it led.
we cannot believe that our authorities
will permit n repetition Of the torpor which
then invaded them, when they reflect upon
the disasters of the last winter. A victory
unimproved, Is, IN almost NIL cases, equA
to a signal defeat. In some cases IL is even
worse In all, it inevitably leads TO disas-
ter by rule which is always working, and
never knows rest for moment. Let Us
not, for Gods sake and for our own, fall
into the error OF last year Six months at-
forded the enemy the ample time to recOv-
.er from the demoralizing effects of HauAs-
sas. In six months from that battle he had
on foot TOO, 900 men and an iuuumerable
fleet 10 less than that, if he is now suf-
fered to go on recruiting without Interrupt
tion, he will be more formidable than he
ever has been. Already the same
cry begins to be raised that we beard
repeated SO often last year. We .hear
continually of intervention as We
heard then. Political arithmeticians
are again at work 10 sum up the indebted
ness OF the NORTH aud prove the Yankees
utterly bankrupt. Short-sigbted mortals
persuade themselves now, as they did then,
that they can get no more recruits. All
this is fallaeious- Iftrusted too far, twill
become rui1ousiy mischevious. There is
no probability of any interventiOo, so far
as We can see. The Yankee Government
will be enabled to exact what sums they
want. SO long as the war continues to be
IS popular as it is, for the Yankee nation
knows that separation from the South is
ruin to them. The 500, 900 asked for By
Lincoln will be raised before our newspa-
pers shall have done discussing the possi-
.bility of raising them. Our hopes lie in
the stout hearts aud ready hands of our
young men. These are the only hopes that
have meyer failed us, and they are the only
ones in which we ought ever to codfde.
All others are fallscious, aud lead only to
disaster.
The fears ofthe Dispatek are well founded
Our army will be too formidable in little
white to make success for the rebels a
possible thing. Whatever they do must
be done now. 1t is evident that the Con-
federate authorities think the same way.
They are trying to do-as at Gulpepper-
but they found themselves powerless.
They retreated from there after an attempt
in force. They are bafled. Their case
viii daily get worse. Now is their only
hope, aud even now there seems to be no
chance. a5. SO
