PRESIDENT LNcoLN's vsT TO GENERAL
BURSsiDE.-Wh Whatever may be the causes which
detain tho Army Of the Potomac on the north
ern bank Of the Rappahaunook, the people will
accept this late visit OF President Lincoln to
Genera Burnside's headquarters ~ significant
Of active work. When the President went
down 10 Fortress Monroe last May, the long
Inactivity which bad prevailed in that quarter
was ended, and combined movement Of our
land and naval forces, under his immediate
direction, was made, which resulted In the oc
blowing up OF that rebel iron clad scarecrov,
the Merrimao, by the rebels themselves, to save
her from capture. The next visit Of She Ptts,-
dent 10 the James river, which was immediate
ly after those seven days sanguinary battles In
front OF Richmond, was followed BY the recall
OF General MeClellan's army TO Washington.
II will also be remembered that the flying visit
OF President Lincoln to General Scott q, West
Poln, was followed by the reorganizatioa Of the

they are compelled to take on their release, viz
That they will not, at any future time, COR

causing their arrest or imprisonment" Such
condition is illegal and can bind no one. Au-

necessity Of enforcing the laws In existence for

MORE NAVAL Work FOR CoNGREss.-We un
derstand that one Of the earliest tasks under
taken by Congress will be an entire revision Of
the navy, with the view Of bringing IL up to
that point OF power and efficiency which the
vast sums expended upon It justify the country
to expect II has been ascertained that among
other deceits practised upon government In
connection with this branch of the public ser
vice. great injustice has been done by advisory
and other committees TO valuable OFF,
GERS who have been overslaughed or retired in
the prime Of life, and without there being the
slightest stain upon their record at the Navy
Department Without entering into the mo-
tves Of partiality, prejudice or favoritism open
ly attributed to the members Of these boards,
we think that the fact Of their sittings having
been carried on with closed doors, and with
cut the inculpated officers being afforded an
opportunity to be heard in their defence, is
reason sufficient to warrant the country in
insisting upon reinvestigation of all such
cases. Such arbitrary and inquisitorial pro-
ceedings are abhorrent to the spirit Of our
free institutions, and we trust that when
Congress does take up the subject it
will make its inquiries thorough aud search
ing go that justice shall not only be meted out
to the injured officers, but to those who have
made use Of the exceptional powers with which
they have been entrusted to crafty their per-
sonal jealousies and antipathies.
