was not responsible for q single one of the
mistakes he has made. and could havo taken
Richmond long ago, but for his inability to
do So Heaven forgive these Jacobuu Black
Republicans who object to his being PrcSi-
dent in 1868? This is the prayer of twenty
millions of free white men under the Con-
stitution as was very Justly observed to me
by political chap from New Haven last
week. On Tuesday, the Mackerel brigade
was on the outskirts of Accomac-Company
3, Regiment 2 being sent ahead, under Col.
onel Wobert Wobinson. to watch the move
ments of some regiments of Coufederacies
who were believed to be either there or in
South Carolina. The advance guard stayed
there two days, my boy, aud then an or
derly came riding in TO the general, with
the request that he would immediately
send reinforcements and provision, as Com
pany 3, Regiment | was i'll danger OF starv-
alton and defeat, at short notice.
The general ceased tanning himself for II
moment, and says he to the perspiring or
derly:
81 have heard your request, my child; but
before comply with it, | wish to know
what is the present political complexion OF
Colonel Wobinson."
The half-starved orderly claspcd his thin
hands together, and says he:
Il don't know; but for Gods sake, Cen
eral, send Ills something to eat, and some
help, or not one of us can be saved"
The general waved his hand magisterially
and says he:
That's very true. But must first know
what are the sentiments of Colonel Wobin-
son on the negro question"
The orderly might have responded, my
boy, had he not tainted just then from weak
ness. In pity for his comrades, orders were
at once given for the transportation OF pro
visions and reinforcements to Company 3
before the end of the month; and had the
before, mentioned Confederaccs delayed
marching into Accomac until that time,
should not be obliged now to chronicle
another of those disasters of our arms,
which the traitOrous harangues of Wendell
Phillips have so outrageously produced.
If this war is to be prosecuted with vigor,
my boy, we must repose unlimited conf
dence in the ability of the Administration
and of our Generals, resolutely frowning
down all Jacobin demonstrations at home
and suffering our leaders to be interfered
with by no one but each other. If we per-
nit civilians to manage matters, the country
will be undone but if, on the contrary we
trust everything to our Generals, the coun-
try will be "done'-brown.
Luckily for lis ALL the occupation of Ac-
comac by the celebrated Southern Confed-
eracy is a part of the great plan of the Cen
eral of the Mackerel Brigade to end this re-
bellion in one crushing blow, and as soon
as the entire Confederacy shall have en-
tered Accomac in safety, the Mackerel Bri-
gade will proceed to bag it.
You don't exactly see how that is to be
done, eh?
There you so again, my boy always med
ding with what you don't understand, and
presuming, in your civilian imbecility, to
doubt the practicabilty-not to say the
utility-of a covert invincibility, rendering
it futility on the part of Southern agility
10 take for weak debility what is really
strategic facility, and bound, in great fertil-
ity of warlike inventibility and utter reli-
ability, to turn all the foes agility to a final
accountability, that shall cause him, in future
humility to treat us, at least, with civility.
Such, my boy, is the Mackerel plan TO a
T.
This strategy is like some plan for again
depending on a fall of rain, that, in less than
week, should the drought remain, 'twould
ruin it altogether. 1t pondereth blindly
whether or no the opposite hosts will do
so-and-so; and how it will end at last, you
know, dependeth upon the whether"
Yours, calmly, ORHHEUS G. KERR.
