The country stands appalled, OF the magnitude
Of the disaster ct Fredericksburg. Il excels

disaster TO our arms--if we except that which
overcame Mcclellan on the Peninsula when the
Administration compelled him to abandon bis
well-matured plans and withdraw his army
from the front Of Richmond. Mere than thir-
teen thousand of our brave soldiers dead,
wounded and missing is the terrible record OF
this terrible business, and oil this human life
sacrificed to no purpose whatever.
The country will not hold Gen. Burnside re-
sponsible for the sacrifice. Il will hold the
Administration at Washington, which has
thrust Gen. Burnside into a position from
which be shrank, aud crowded him forward into
q situation which he must have deemed

tuse any legal defense to plead upon the trial
that the arrest, confinement, or removal was

Il IL stated in the Herald Of the 18th inst.
that the Grand Jury had summoned before

rne Three 0rses military Disasters
OF 1899.

The three great dlaasters Of the war this year
are tho failure to take Richmond In June last
the result CT PORTS campaign In Virginia, and
the result Of BuARsrDE's movement across the
Rsppahanhoek.
The FIRST of these failures, as is clearly proved
by the evidence In the MCDOWELL courtmarsial
case, was caused BY Withholding reinforcements,
srsins. the deliberate advice and Judgment OF
both Generals MoCLELLAE and MCDOWELL.
But the skill Of the former enabled him to save
his army and transfer 1t to the position from
which he originally intended TO advance on
Richmond. Nothing but reinforcemenss was
wanting to enable him to make this new ad'
vance with success.
The next signal failure was the POFE cam
paign, connecting with It the withdrawal Of
MoCIELLAn's army from Harison's Landing
on The James river. The army under PORE was
routed, Washington exposed to imminent dan
ger, Maryland and Pennsylvania invaded, and
the rebel tide Of success only turned back by
the skill and energy Of MCCLELLAN, who, acting
upOn bis own responsibility, without orders,
drove the rebels back, and saved Washington;
a service for which, ss the New York World
says, 10 grateful Administration has rewarded
him by dsprlying him of bis command"
The third great blunder was the BURNSIDE
campaign and advance across the Rappahan-
mock. This terrible disaster is too recent io'
the facts that caused 10 TO be fully known. But
there can be no doubt that IL was the result OF
the msmanagemen and incompesency OF the au-
shori.ies at Washington, who controlled Burn
SIDE, and whose mandates he obeyed. Nobody
p,esends to attach any blame to General BURN
slDE, the responsibility Of this fearful and
needless butehery Of our gallant troops mus'
res. upon bis supsriors. If this blundering sys'
tenn continues to 60 on, the country will be In
syitsbly ruined. II has now reached the verge
Of destruction, and its only hope Is an immedi'
ate change In those who control its military
policy. II this hs not done, and that speedily,
nothing can save the Union from utter ana
hopeless dlsiniegration and ruin.

IExirAot from Letter on the Battle, Flsld;l

[Exlract from Letter on the Battle Field. III
- Nv
This battle (Antietam) has been the most
sanguInary Of the war, and the only one fought
with vialble design and upon military princi-
pies. The arrangement Of our corps : the
overlooking position Of tho commanding Gem
eral-the sending into action the right and left
divlsions--the closing up Of the center, and f.
nal sucoess--excites bewildering admiration,
and carries the mind to the great fields Of Aus
terlitz and Wagram, fought by Napoleon. Of
all this have spoken. The heart history of
such conflict, purchased by the life and blood
of twenty thousand men, must be found In the
hospitals. Wsr has its gloriea-but it has its
ten thousand demons in these human tortures,
that make the eye balls ache-the heart bleed
the lips palsy, and the brain reel. The sight
is at first positively uncomfortable. The life
blood of some is still trickling away in client
calmness-w the discovered limbs and ma
MAC brain of others give rise to sounds God
grant may not again witness.
But ye mothers who here seek a son--or
father-know and be consoled that even here
the hand of mercy lie watchful, and better care
ia bestowed upon your loved ones than might
at first seem possible. Il was in the hospital,
where rested the gallant Hooker, that learned

saving the lives of our soldiers, is a national

It Is we'll known the effect Of burnt gunpow-

loss Of blood in the wounded, creates the me-
cessity Of reviving stimulant. In this par
