"THE sAia::E CLEARING AWAY"

Under the above caption the " Herald" has
long editorial, from which We extract the
suhjoined paragraphs:
Believing that this rcbo army in front Of
General Pope is not provided with provisions
sufficient for more than few days, We may
expect that 1t will,very soon attempt again to
flank him or fall back. We believe, too,
that General Pope is now strong enough to
act upon either alternative-to repcl an at-
tack or to follow the enemy should they at
tempt to steal away. But in the extremity OF
their desperation we know not what dcspe-
ratc expedients they may adopt. We should
be prepared for them, and against any possi-
Bic surprise at every point essential to the
protection of Washington and the peace OF
Mary land. Within the last two days General
Pope has been reinforced to the extent OF
sixty thousand Incn, nearly all veteran troops,
and our new volunteers ure pouring every
day iuto Washington by thousands. But
still, the faster We Send them forward the
better wil! be our prospects Of cutting
off this rebel army. from Richmond, while II
is in the most convenient position for oit
purposes. . -
- All our late disasters and reyerses, from
Richmond to Bull Run, arc simply chargeable
to deficiency in the numbers of our troops.
as compared with those Of the rebels engaged.
Our men are as brave as theirs, and more en-
during. They are better armed, equipped
fed and clothed and doctorcd, apd better pre-
pared for the fatigues oi an active or inactive
campaign in every way. Oar officers, in skill
and resources, are fully equal tn those Of the
rebels. But while We have the population
equal to five lines that of the rcbelliuus States
from which to draw our soldiers, they have
in every important battle since COrinth out
numbered US. The responsibility is with the
