- While the political leaders
of the South have been reposing in
dreams of approaching peace, and
while our accomplished captains of
engineers have been expending their
remarkable scientific ingenuity in the
erection Of works as wonderful, and
almost as extensive, and quite as val
liable as the Chinese wall to resist in-
vading forces from given direction,
the enemy have gradually and at leis-
ure gathered mp their immense re-
sources and concentrated their trc-
mendous energies to euvelop the Con
federacy with their armies and fleets,
and to penetrate the interior from some
one of many alternative points. Al
though they can now do nothing, they
have their general programme in per-
feet order for execution when the

strain every nerve to prevent the mil

the country from slipping out of his
grasp. Generals Joseph Johnston
and Beaurcgard are held by McCIel-
Ian on the Potomac as in a vice. A
gigantic armament is ready to attempt
the descent of the Mississippi, and
their fleets on the Atlantic seacoast
and the Gulf arc too freshly before
the attention to require remembrance.
Such are the fruits of policy purely

cy which would come of q possible in

rounded the Southern Conederacy !;
and if permitted to repeat as Of

to penetrate its heart, they will neccs-
