What the Journals say.

The Fleming Pos says
The r.ape viii tolerate no more Bowling
Greens, Manassas functions. C5r,utAs rk-
towns. The game costs US too much to sui
fer generals to play it at their good leisure
If men Ike Buell. aud Mcclellan will not or
cannot act. lei them be forced to give place
to others who will. 1t is fatal to Us t5ullow
all our fighting generals to be lad on tn
shelf or seat = a post where they can d.
nothing, while inactive commanders are re
tanned in the responsible positions When
such men "a Fremont, MITCHELL Hunter AMI

Burnside from North Carolina TO the actual

that the day Of action has really Come.
The National Republican says
II is gross, rank and incredible folly which

and the ground for hope rs, that this folly is
now seen and abandoned.
The Nationa, Igf,1f7eacer SAYS:
We have more than once been called dur

The Boston Journal says
We rejaicc in tie change as one of the bas,
signs Of the times 1t is what the people
aud the army have been longing to hear from
the nations capital. Il assures us that old
things have passed away, and all things Re.
speeding the management Of the war have
become new. The nation is pouring forth
its leyies Us the Roman Empire never did IN
its proudest days. Nothing in the way OF
war material aud appliances will be wanting
and treasure is made of no account, com.
pared with the salvation Of the country
Now let Us arHl our officers, civil and militia,

win security for US.

Languid war is cruelty. Let us have wal
in earnest, that the result may be the sooner
reached. LIT US have war that will inspir,
our noblest efforts. BITTER that a hundred
thousand die in battle than that as man,

and they are ready to clinch in the dealt
struggle with this rebellion and crush it out
