LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

/LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
The Tribune publishes the following
characteristic letter from Secretary Stan
ton to the editor of that paper. As an
indication of the Secretary's belief that
reso.ute action in the face of the enemy
is of as much value as combination of
plans, it is well worth preservation:
To the Editor ot'thc " Y. Tribune:-
Sir-i cannot suffer undue merit to be
ascIibed to my official action. The glory
cf our recent victories belongs to the gall
liant officers and soldiers that fought the
battles. No share of it belongs to me.
Much has recently beer said of military
combinations and organizing victory. |
hear su;h phrases with apprehension.
They commenced in in6del France with
the Italian campaign, and resulted in
Waterloo. Who can organize victory !
Who can combine the elements Of success
on the battle field We owe our recent
victories TO the Spirit Of the Lord, that
ulOFeu UuT SOluleFS 10 TUSH lniO DaltI6,
and filed the hearts of our enemies with
terror aud d;smay. The inspiration that
conquered in battle was in the hearts of
the soldiers and from on high ; and wher-
ever there is the same inspiration there
will be the sane results. Patriotic spirit,
with resolute courage in officers and men,
is military combination that never failed.
We may well rejoice at the recent vic
tories, for they teach US that battles are
to be won now and by US. in the same
and only manner that they were ever won
by any people, or IN any age since the
DAYS Of Joshua, by boldly pursuing and
striking the foe. What, under the bles-
sing Of Providence. | conceive to be the
true organization Of victory and military
combination to end this war, was declared
in few words by Gen. Grants message
to Gen. buckner-"I propose to more
immedidtely upon your aeorhs -
Youry, truly, EDWIN NJ. STANTON.
