W Nat is LADY "A great deal OF

the title of lady and the name of woman.

must be deaf to scandal and gossip. She
must possess discrimination, knowledge Of

General Burnside.

The Report of General Burnside made to
General Halleck, giving the result of his
operations on the Rappshannock and of his
attack Of the rebels near fredericksburg, is
an honor to the man. lie assumes the re-
sponsihility, and never for once. endearors
to shield himself by direct charges or insinu
atoms against either interiors or superiors.
Like man, conscious of his own integrity
and good intentions. he shirks nothing and
covers up nothing, but unfolds his plan Of
action, and as honestly owns how it mis-
carried. He did not do what he undertook
to accomplish. but he is not disheartened,
his noble command i. not demoralized ; and
the President. nor General Halleck, nor Sec
rotary Stanton are responsible. The country
will honor General Burnside f1r his noble
qualities. and trust him, feeling all the while
that be will not fail to try, and that he will
ultimately succeed.
There is such contrast between the plain
unvarnished statement of General Burnside,
and the majority of Reports IN cases where
we have belorcmeta repulse. as will endear
and give confidence in him. He will not
silently see his superiors. or any body else,
attacked and shameinlly lied about to
shield himself. The report was Industrious

the river and did il because of peremrtory
orders from Washington. He efTectually
scatters all such tales OF the newsmongers.

Be True and Hopeful.

What we all want at this time, is hope
fal trust that all will end well with the
government. in its Efforts to crush the re-
beiiion. DIstrust Of our rulers. Of our
Generals in command and OF our final sue
cess, is not only wrong, but almost criminal
when viewed in the light Of the present cri-
sis of our impcrIled country. The Prcsi-
dent, the Cabinet, the leading Generals, the
country. all demand from all of us hopeful
trust, and 4 generous confidence in ultimate
success. The lmpatience of the people, to the
ex'e1t Of constant fault finding with every
trifing matter is weakness that should be
guarded against. 1t is all wrong. Give all
holding important trusts, time to consum-
mate their plans before bringing them to
the block. Ono swallow does not make a
summer, says the adagc One partial de-
feat, nor brilliant victory, will neither
mar nor make the success of the Union cause
certain. Whatever We may think or say to
the contrary, there has been steady ad-
vance Of the Union cause for nine months
past. We have met with reverses, it is
true and some Of our officers in command
have failed to meet public expectation We
have thought that the President was too
slow and too cautious; and have been ready
and willing to think and TO say, that the
Cabinet Jagged far behind the public feeling

We could hardly believe, ourself, until We
stopped to think, that the capture OF Fort
Donelson and Henry, occurred only las,

Our own case may be but sample of many
others.
Then, we are prone to give more import

as something more than a pulling child -
