As things have been heretofore managed,
this war, instead Of impoverishing the rebels,
has really enabled them 10 make money. Our
generals have not merely paid for everything,
but have permitted rebel sympathisers to tx
their own prices for everything our army
needed, and 10 this way, vast stream Of gold
and Treasury notes has been flowing into rebel
pockets, wherever our troops have been To-
Gated at the South. Gen. Pope has, 20 far as
be is concerned, put . stop to all this, and Il
has not been done moment too soon.
War 10 . question, not merely Of cannon,
muskets, bsyones and soldiers, but Of eoonom-
les and Of ways and means. II Ia money which
is the sinews Of war. Napoleon always In.
tended " make bis wars self sustaining, and 1t
is about time for US to give up the delusion
that We are an exception TO all ordinary rules,
and can carry on war without regard to cost,
or to the means Of providing for the cost.
Nor are these orders Of Gen. Pope important
merely with reference to our ability to carry
on this war. They are even more important,
as presenting motive to the enemy to give up
3 longer persistence iu It. Upon our former
system Of tactics, what motive did the enemy
have to make peace! None at all, which can
sse. Our armies marched through bis country
aud captured some Of his towns. But they
levied no contributions paid six prices for
everything they purchased guarded rebel
honses and hen roosts, and acted as policemen
and cstcbpoles for the slaves Of rebels. It was
an experiment Of kindosss and torbsarance,
which has been fully tried, and has utterly
failed! It may be better that II was tried, he.
cause the trial and failure Of It, make the jos.
tihcation more perfect Of the new and better
system which Gen. Pope hss now inaugurated.
1t 10 according 10 the wisdom Of the aucients
tc pronounce no man fortunate until we have
seen the end Of bis career. Upon the same
principle, 1t is best to be sparlns iu our praise
Of generals until they have closed their cam.
paigns. But Gen. Pope has certainly begun his
campaign in Virginia most suspiciously. His
address Of last week to bis army bad the true
ring, and now we have his admirable orders Of
July ls, to forage on The enemy. It Is evident
enough that General Pope is fighting with the
primary view Of putting down the rebellion
himself, and not of qualifying himself to run in
he Southern States as candidate for the
after the rebellion Is put down by
else. If 1t is popularity which be Is
Aftsr, 1t is, at any rate, not popularity among
-ebeLs. W.
