iall-it is inevitable. Now, under these cir
cumstances, it is not hard to sec why skill
full Commander-in-C Chief should exert him
sell to retain the bulk of an enemy's army
in position where he can at the proper time
strike death blow the more surely. IF the
flower of the rebel army be coaxed to re-
main at Manassas or Eorth of Richmond SO
much of its strength is wasted our armies
in the West and South have the less to con-
tend against and our vict ories are the more
certain. The Western army clears the great
Valley of the Mississippi Of Secession the
| Gulf squadron re-establshes the Constitution
in the populous cities of the South; the Ro-
anoke and Beaufort forces are pushed inward
and northward and next autumn, when the
slckly season approaches, all, conformity, are
driving the Rebels back to the localitywhere
fresh army Of loyal men are willing to re-
ceive them, in country where Southron has
no advantage over Workman.
NThen comes the great decisive action of
the campaign. The Union troops, flushed
with constant victory, meet those dispirtcd
by constant reverses. Who can doubt the
result2 On the other hand, we will suppose
that the Commanding General and the War
Department yield to the clamor of those who
only seek for carnage regardless of conse-
quences, and order an advance upon Manas-
sas or Richmond. The result would be sim
ply to drive the Rebels away to some other
point. where they would make Il second
stand, ard a third or fourth, each time
leading the Federal troops farther and far
Their away from the localities of their accli-
nation, and into more sure and terrible NOR
tality. No let Mcclellan work. Let him
keep the Rebels concentrated as far North
as possible, and so keep Rebel forces from
coming farther South, and next summer or
early in the autumn dcnoucment will come
which will justify the present apparent mac
tiyity of the army of the Potomac. If the
enemy shall retreat, let Gen. Mcclellan ad-
vance to their positions; if not, let him re-
main in statu quo, until he is ready 10 make
every shot tell its most against treason"

road and river, they having four steam
ers and sixteen transports in use, and by
the time the roads arc in condition for
the Union army to move the rebels may
be able to meet them with one hundred
thousand men, the flower of their army,
with their best arms, in a strongly for
tilted position.

present position, the military authorities
had no means of asccrtainmg the extent
of the rebel works. Information OBJ
tanned through descrtcrs and other sour
ces show that the enemy have five hun
