The fighting thus far has all been done
by Western troops. Western Generals
entertain the idea that fighting is as neces-

consequently they have in rout before them
demoralized army, which was led BY the
ablest Generals in the rebel service, while
the Grand Army" is still on the Potomac.
We tervently hope and pray that General
Mcclellan may win some signal victory IN
a short time, that he may save the army Of
the Potomac from the disgrace which his
inactivity is inevitably bringing upon it.
