Our victories are, some of them, rather
singular affairs. tits curious fact that
the Union and rebel powers regard with
equal pride the results of several 0fthe
most impOrnntaetions of the war. Ifthey
do not, they lie. We know that almost
everything has been called Union Victory
for months, and We really have something
handsome to show IN proof of it. The
South, too, has been gaining victories all
the time, according 10 its own story, and
been retreating all the tune. At Pittsbnrg
Landing, both sides claimed the victory
at Williamsburg, both claimed brilliant
victory. AT Pair Oaks, before Richmond,
both are equally satisfied rs to the result OF
they lie. General Fremont has just past
through victorious action resulting 10
heavy losses to both parties, and though
jackson has resumed his retreat, we
see that he is quito as positive aslFre-
mont that he has won, the battle. Now
from the fact that Nc Of the Union have all
the while been steadily progressipg, aud the
rebels have been just MS steadily retiring,
We cOpclpde that We are the nearest correct
as to what constitutes victory.
