BE Patient.

4 the whole lneI why should an order not
| be issued directing general attack to be
made at every point in our military border
/ an order directing Brown to advance on PEN
sacola, Sherman on Savannah, Wool on Nor
| folk, Mcclellan on Richmond, Banks on
-Charlestown, Buell. on Nashville, and Halieck
! on Memphis. We cannot be beaten every
| where. There must be triumph in some
| part of the nation. If we are beaten in Ken
| lucky, we must surely beat in South Cafoii-
ma. If there is reverse in Missouri, there
must surely be a victory i'll Virginia. We
| cannot suffer universal defeat-we may OBJ
| tain universal victory. Would it not be
well to attempt the experiment ?-PhiFd.

| While we have the utmost confidence
in General MCCLELLAN and the Admin
| istration of Mr. LINCOLN, in regard to
the conduct Of the War against Rebel
lion, we cannot shut our eyes to the fact
that there is growing desire on the part
of the people that there be a combined
| forward movement of the Federal troops,
and that it be made soon. And if there
be any truth in the old saying, that ''com-
| ing events cast their shadows before" we
believe that the period is near at hand
when this desire win be gratifed. We
see the fnanci world on this side of the
water holding its breath, as it were, to
await the contemplated result and along
with the rest, we encourage our hopes
that it may be result Of glory, whilst
we indefinitely postpone everything like
fear In cause so great, so just, and so
essential to the vindication of human
progress.
The sailing of Gen. Burnside's fleet
from Annapolis, and the wishes that ac-
company it, dimly foreshadow in the
minds of all, the mighty expectations that
hang upon the near future. With the
popular belief pointing to a region COM
paratiyely near by as its place of destina-
ton, we shall not venture to conjecture
the results to flow from it, If we turn
our eyes to Kentucky, we find that the
principal portion Of the splendid army
under Gen. BUELL., is now resting on
| Green river, only a few miles from the
stronghold OF the Rebels at Bowling
Green. The Railroad bridge over Green
River, destroyed by BUCKNER's troops,
has been rebuilt, and has ere this poured
forward needed supplies in abundance to
enable the National troops to take up their
line of march South About seven miles
from this bridge an excellent turnpike
begins, which, extending to the capital of
Tennessee, affords every facility needed
for an advancing force The Rebels are
said to have about fifty thousand troops
IN and around Bowling Green, and thew
are protected with extensive and formida-
| BILE fortifcations-while the Federal force
is nearly double that number, prepared
for active service, with good supply of
artillery.
Turning to Cairo, further onward, we
find that seventy-eight vessels of all kinds.
| many of them of the most formidable
character, as armed vessels, are reported
as about ready, and late accounts from
below show that, Columbus once nassed
Memphis must fall an easy prev to the
AO'NNS' i'uI IL IL In lTOnU OF w ash
lngton that we see the most important
part OF the great war cloud, which is to
| expend its fury on the Rebel territory.
" hen we look at the great army there
quartered, with its splendid material and
Its acknowledged high discipline, we are
led to the belief, that forward movement
will ere long be made which will effectp-
ally wipe ont the remembrance of former
disasters, and thus justify the expecta-
tions of all true patriots.
In the patience already displayed, the
people of the North have exhibited de-
gree OF patriotism rising to the sublime
Let them still be patient and patriotic
and holc up the hands of the Admins
tration IN this grave emergency. We
doubt not their reward will soon come.
When everything is ready-and no one
is so well qualified to judge of this as Gen.
M'CLELLAN-a series of blows will he
struck which will effectually squeleh this
unhoiy Rebellion, and bring our country
back to It's hitherto happy and prosperous
condition.
