The Winter Campaign East ana west--
Decisive Operations Anticipated.


We are assured that the fullest confidence
exists at Washington that the land and naval
forces of the Union now in the field are not
only competent to put down the armed forces
of the rebellion East and West but that the
work will be done in this winters campaign.
With an army, in round numbers, of q million Of
men thus engaged, and with a cooperating
naval force, chiefly Of iron-clad gunboats, equal,
we dare say, TO another army OF half million
Of men, against rebel army which can hardly
exceed half million, there would sssmko be
no ground for 5 reasonable doubt upon the
subject.
The organization, equipment and distribution
of these overwhelming warliks forces Of the
Union are believed to be such as TO render their
success inevitable in every quarter, and against
all possible contingencies in the way Of blundsrs,
opposition, accidents or disasters. In the East,
1t is thought that the army Of General Burnside
Is of itself equal TO the enterprise of fighting
It's way successfully into the rebel capital; but
If, as we conjecture, the expedition Of General
Banks is designed to advance upon Richmond
by way of the York or James river, with feet
OF gunDOets, WDlie Durnsiuc moves uoWn upon
the devoted city overland from the north, it is
difficult to imagine any chain Of mistakes and
misfortmes that can prevent the destruction or
complete dispersion Of the great rebel army OF
Virginia.
The army Of Burnside is chiefly an army Of
veterans. It is under tried, experienced, able
and successful commander, and he appears fully
to inherit that unqualified CONFIDENCE and sfrec-
ton Of his troops which General Mcclellan so
remarkably possessed. General Banks, too,
has proved himself equal to every position and
emergency In which he has been tested as q
military leader; and he has been exposed to
trials and dangers before which any other than
a skilful, courageous, cool and self-possessed
c0mnAadsy would have been captured or de-

tho names signed to these orders wero drier'
ent from Frsmonts; and when Mr.. Holt finds
fugitive remark, a. to money matters and

the man whose words he processes to give, the
vocabulary is searched by him for words with
which to intensity his indignation and abhor-

Judge, by the points cited, Of the fairness and
Justice of this one.sided report. But here Is
still another. Mr. Holt complains that con-

Cabinet officer, could not obtain any attention
to Western matters at Washington, and that
Fremont must take tho responsibility himself;
and here ia still moro direct authority for bis
making contracts himself, which Mr.. Holt, Of
courfe, in his condemnation, does not make the

The Metropolitan Health bill, as il has ps''od
the Assembly, makes two of our Police Com
missioners members of the Health Board. We
suggest that the Mayors Of New-iork aud Brook
lyn be substituted for these. They are now u
diverse politics, which is one strong recon-
mendation in our view. Our City and Brook
lyn iced a Health BILL but it should be 30
framed as not TO take offices from one party
merely to give them to another. IL is because
this point was not regarded that we have
looked colby on the efforts Of past sessions IA
this direction. Let the two Mayors be sntsti.
tuted for the two Police Commissioners. and
then let the Governor select two citizens Il
complete the Commission, aud We can have .
real reform; bit If the places under this bull
are 10 become a. the spoils Of victory" we
shall have none.
We speak from experience. Our City bas
been talking OF reform, praying for reform, for
years; but our politically balanced Board II
Supervisors aud our Commission OF Publls
Charities together embody all the actual reform
We have thus far achieved. In either instance.
the political equilibrium tends to pecnn'ary
saving and moral improvement. The Commi'-
son of Public Charities has saved to our city
ut lenst 100000 per annum. Ike ssv'os
can be made by Health Commission, II II %
so poised that the political paupen Of neither
party can hope 10 bend it to their own uses.
Ii 10 not too late, We trust, to secure the need
ed amendment ia the Senate.
