this "mastarly inactivity policy OF Gen.

popular than he, il he would move in some
direction, and accomplish something definite
AMI palpable. The bones Of the dead Jack
son, no doubt have turned in their colin in
very ycxation Mt the snail like movements
and slow gcncralship displayed on the Po-
t9mac.
