NEW YORK HERALD TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER g. 1882

1 the purposes OF subsistence, the rebel army
which en- masse followed up General Pope "a
! Manassas, is now necessarily broken up into
widely scattered detachments. The main body
| is doubtless near Leesburg; but considerable
column has crossed over into the Shenandoah
valley, and another detachment is Ia Mary land,
and still another is distributed along in the
neiebborhood Of Manassas, Thoroughfare Gap
and Warrenton. according to our latest ac-
counts. Thus broken up and scattered about
on both sides of the Potomac and
on both sides Of the Blue Ridge,
not SO much for strategical purposes as for sub
sistence, we are free to declare that if our gov
eminent and our army chiefs at Washington
permit the fragments of this rebel army to be
again consolidated or to get back again to
Richmond, all hands responsible will be called
to fearful reckoning by an outraged and justly
indignant people.
We have no doubt, however, that the Presi-
dent, his Cabinet, General Halleck and General
Mcclellan thoroughly comprehend their present
advantages, their abundant forces and means
for instant action, the dangers Of delay, and
the just expectations of the country. When we
say, therefore, that the rebel army column in
Maryland should be allowed no more time to
gather strength or to retreat, that the main
back track Of the rebels to Richmond should
be closed against them, and that half a dozen
gunboats assisted by small land force, would
now be able to work their way by Fort Darling
to the rebel capital, we presume that we are
suggesting nothing that is considered at Wash
ington impossible or impracticable.
The rebel army of Virginia is now within
our grasp. Our intelligent, loyal people be-
lieve it. They expect the President, his Cabi-
net and his army leaders to seize this inviting
opportunity for decisive action. We care not
now to discuss the shortcomings of this or that
officer in the field, the weak spots in the Cabi
net, or anything Of the sort. We want this
rebel army Of Virginia beaten routed and put
out Of the way; and we believe that this is
the appointed time for the work. The season
for active campaigning in Virginia and Mary
land is nearly at an end. We have no time to
lose. The most favorable condition Of things
that could be desired invites us to immediate
action. We expect it, and we still entertain
the idea that in wisely and energetically using
our present advantages we may bring down
this rebellion into the dust before the end Of
the year.

have raised no party cry and laid down no
party lines since this sad war began. II we
shall coincide in the verdict of the republican
organs it is because they who know the adm
nistration best have made the verdict for US;
because they who put the administration into
power now supply us with the severest CEN
sures upon its proceedings; because they who
have the greatest interest in now suppressing
all recolections Of parties are the very first to
attempt to revive Gas in the 1riJune's recent
letter to the Presidency the almost discarded
sponsibility to party. Surely none can blame
us and the people if we accept the republicans
at their own base estimate of themselves.
We are glad TO remember that from the time
of the very inception of the abolition -repubi-
can party we warned the country of its PERM
cious doctrines, its dangerous fanaticism, its
innate weakness, its inbred deprayity its inca
pacity to administer the government, and its ra-
dical and revolutionary tendencies. Since the
outbreak Of this war, however, we have patri
otically dropped all references to parties, and
have patiently labored to put down the rebel
lion. With patience we have seen republican
officials rise and fall, republican intrigues
formed and defeated, republican policies
adopted and discarded, and have carefully re.
Trained from anything which might delay,
while zealously doing everything which might
assist, the speedy triumph of the Union cause
Now our patience is rewarded by seeing the
republicans themselves foremost in condemn
ing the results of republicanism. We find our
selves defending the President from his own
party friends and former supporters. We find
the administration attacked by the very men
who gave it power. We find our prophecies Of
republican incapacity and misrule vindicated
by the confessions of republican organs. We
find those who aided to cause tho war dissatis-
fed with the conduct Of their own statesmen
We find those whose fanatical intrigues have
occasioned all our disasters now amazed, dis
comGted, Disguised and alarmed-like Greeley
after Manassas and Senator Wilson after the
peninsula battles-at the dreadful consequences
of their own folly. The people will do we'll to
remember these things; and none need be sur
prised if, at the polls in November, an over
whelming vote of democratic and republican
conservatives shall send men to Congress who
will forever supersede the radicals who now
disgrace that body, and who will have sufficient
patriotism and ability to prosecute the war
economically and VIGOROUSLY to suppress the
revolutionary and Internal abolitionists, and to
speedily end this desperate rebellion, with
which the fanatics who melted it now confess
themselves incapable to cope.

REAL CONDITION OF THises Down sourn.--f
there is one thing more than another that cx-
poses the groundlessness of the dependency
expressed In some quarters in regard to our
chances Of putting down the rebellion, IL is the
statements made by the Southern prisoners who
arrived here on Sunday last from Fortress Mon
roc. They prove that the rebels are IN the mot
desperate straits, and that this raid Of theirs
into Kentucky and Maryland, and contemplated
attack ON Washington, are the last despairing
efforts Of people convinced that their cause is
hopeless. For us this invasion Of the loyal
States is the best thing that can happen TO us.
God seems to be at last about 60 deliver into
our hands the traitors by whose bloody rule the
South has alone been withheld from return to
it, allegiance.

NEWSPAPER NEGoTlNTIoNs--We understand
that negotiations are in progress to make the
World the organ of the conservative democratic
party. 1t is generally supposed that Thurlow
Weed has hand in this affair, and will endsa-
yor to take to it the support of the conservative
republicans, and that it all means uBion Of
the conservatives Of all parties in this State on
candidates for Governor and Congress. Ths
only barrier in the way of its contamination 10
the difficulty to raise the means sufficient to
bolster up the World. The managers Of that
concern seek thus to save themselves from sink
ing, their piety long since ceasing to pay. Che
Waller Webb's advertisements have run out.
Shut off from the Treasury Department, no
longer able to feast on army ale, porter and
cheese, the bullion Of the small fry brokers be-
ing exhausted, and no longer able - support
it, they are ready for almost any dodge that will
keep their heads above water. But that concern
having lost so much money already, the project
is likely to fall through by the inability to raise
the needful.

TIE Tax on GAs.-The INSCRIPTIONS conduct
Of the New York gas companies in endeavoring
TO saddle their customers with the tax which
was intended to be levied on their own enor-
nous profits s, as we predicted, raising storm
Of indignation against them among the public
and the press. Every one is now asking why
such tremendous monopolies should be left in
the hands Of grasping associations like these, or
why the community should longer submit to
the imposition Of a charge Of two dollars and
fifty cents the thousand cubic feet for an article
which can be manufactured for third of that
price. The companies have themselves raised
these issues by their mercenary conduct, and they
viii shortly have to meet them before the Legis-
lature. A strong determination exists among
gas consumers 70 bring down the price OF this
indispensable article 10 the lowest point Ut
which it can be furnished, and they will spend
O large amount Of money II necessary to effect
this object. When the next Legislature assem-
bles steps will be taken to strip the New York
companies Of their existing charters, and to vest
them in the city. II has been ascertained from
inquiry that owing to the improvements that
have taken place Of late years In the manufac-
ture OF gas, the Corporation can. through
board like that which regulates our water sup.
ply. furnish the city and private consumers with
The article at less thon one-half its present
cost. In times like these the saving Is worth
stru0gle.

THE REVOLUTIONARY RADICAL PRESS THREAT.
EWING THE PRESIDENT radical press are
threatening the President with revolution at
the North and the overthrow Of bis govern
ment. because he will not yield to their out
rarcous demands to violate his oath and tram
pie on the constitution. See, for example, the
New York Tines Of yesterday. But they have
not the power to make revolution, and their
design is simply to Brighten Mr.. Lincoln from
his position. The President, however, Is not
the man to be intimidatcd. They cannot move
him from his purpose. Ho is sustained by the
conservative element Of the country, which ex-
ceeds that Of the fanatical abolition element by
about FIVE 20 one. The radical press no doubt
would be glad TO effect revolution; but their
efforts ere as impotent ss they are malignant

FOREIGN SEcEssIoNIsT ORGANS IN Our MIDsr.-
Since the outbreak of the rebellion some Of the
foreign organs published in this city have pur-
sued course which in any other country would
have long since subjected their conductors to
punishment. One of them-the Courier des
Eats Unis--has not only made it point Of re-
producing daily all the One-sided reports un-
favorable to the Union cause, but has invaria-
bly, allowed its secession syrapathes to crop
ont through its own articles. Its editors no
toriously receive their inspirations from rebel
sources. statements frequently appearing from
their pens that could only have been obtained
first hand. II is moreover, well ascertained
that Gaillardet, its correspondent in Paris, is
the pensionod hireling of JEFF Davis and does
all his dirty work there. Most Of the rancor-
Gus articles which appear against the North in
the French press arc either founded on the dis
torted view Of things given in the Courier or on
the direct promptngs Of this fellow Gaillardet.
In recent admirable address on the war, de-
livered by Bishop Purcell, in Cincinnati, he di-
rectly charges the Courr;er with the response
bility Of much Of the unfriendly feeling mani
tested by the French press against our govern
ment. This patriotic prelate has only just re-
turned from Paris, where he had abundant OPP
portunities of informing himself as to the cor
rectness Of the general impression which had
previously existed here on the subject. If the
government deems it necessary for the safety of
the country that our journals shall be sub
jected to suppression or the incarceration of
their editors when they offend against the rules
that il has laid down, we respectfully submit
that the case of this French seccssionist organ
is one TO which its attention should have
been long since directed

MuCLEIA AN AND Hrs ENEMIEs.-When Eapo-
leon was in he flush Of his victories in Italy il
was proposed by the government at Paris to
divide the comm. md of the army between him
and Kellermann, Svhereupon Bonaparte tender
ed his resignation, Aaying one bad general was
better than two good ones. He was fortunately
continued in the supra ne command. When the
Duke Of Wellington WIS in Spain he was 50
thwarted by the British cabinet that he felt it
necessary to make a stand, He said lie would
not proceed another inch tilf>there was change
The result was that the Cabinet was broken up,
and new ministers appointed, whose views were
more in harmony with his own. Afterwards
everything went on smoothly, and his triumph
on the Spanish peninsula over the arms Of
France was complete. Mcclellan has been in
the same manner baffied in his military ideas
partly by a divided command. and partly by
the opposition Of the radicals. He is now again,
by the force of events, placed in his original
position. But the same opposition to him will
be again developed very soon, unless the causes
Of it are removed. II Is in the power Of the
President to prevent repetition Of the politt-
cal interference which nearly cost rs two a..
mics and Washington to boot, to say nothing Of
the loss in money and human life. We hope
the President will put his foot down firmly, and
see that General Mcclellan be allowed to carry
out his plan Of the campaign without any i'm
pudent and dangerous meddling from any
quarter whatever.
