so faithfully and successfully preserved them
amidst the extraordinary peris of the past?
Iapproach to-day the duties of the office with
which / have been honored by the people Of
Maryland with profound sense of the respon-
sibility with which it is surrounded. They are
such as might well cause one of far greater ex-
perience and ability to shrink from their encoun-

reliance 1place on the enlarged patriotism and
eminent ability of those to whom the people OF
the State have committed its legislative func-
tons. Looking confidently to that support, and
trusting to the protection of the Great Governor
of all, who has hitherto 50 mcrcifully preserved

From Virginia.

Correspondence of the New York Tribune
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va, Dec. 81, 1861-As
yours is the only paper $50 far as can see) that
has the Independence to publish anything re-
fecting upon the qualifications of the officers
who are commanding the Grand Union Army
in this part of Virginia, where l have lived ten
years, and am well acquainted with its localities,
| propose to let the public, through the medium
of your paper, learn something of their short
comlngs. / am panied to see in the papers that
actions are reported at the North as victories
which are well known here as retreats or defeats.
For instance, l observe it is reported that Gen.
Jameson on Thursday made a reconnaissance
with four re 5ments to Pohick Church. and sent
scouts as far as the Accotink, without encoun-
tering, it is sad any of the "Confederates. -.
Now, what is the truth Pohick Church is two
miles south Of Accotink, and Gen. Jameson
could never have gone to the Church without
having passed Accotink and as to not having
seen the enemy, if he had gone to Pohick, he
would, on that day, have found about five hum
dred of-as the soldiers are pleased to call them
half-naked half-starved rebels, whose horses are
all dying for want of hay. In fact, there are
so many promises made by the Grand Army of
what they are going to do next time although
the present opportunity is always lost,) that the
Union men are becoming disguised, and think
something is wrong.
saw few days ago that Gen. Hientzleman
was going to do great things, and to follow the
Confederates to their camps. That is the pro-
mise we have waited for, it's performance, we
| fear, will never come. Again, General Franklin,
or some other General, is going to do something
else We wait patiently movement is
made; they meet, perhaps, some Confederates;
a skirmish takes place in which am panied to
know the Union troops are almost generally
worsted They return to the camps and then
more promises are offered for the next time,
Thus we live on promises. sour Generals march
up the hill and then march down agar" report
'no rebels. That night the Union pickets are
driven in. More promises follow with the same
result
The Boston Post says that Gen. Mcclellan
acknowledges the difficulty of proceeding towards
Richmond by the "former route as attempted
BEFORE" Now how is this +? We have the
men, and if they are not soldiers. whose fault
is it Surely not that of the men. They, UNI
der proper discipline, would be equal to Romans
in their best days, or the French under Napoleon
in the Italian campaign. But there is no dis
cipline in the army men are permitted to roam
over the country without authority, burning
houses, robbing hen-roosts, pig styes, and sta
bies. Now, sir, without more authority in the
officers our country is gone, and the best thing
the Government can do is at once to recognize
the Rebels as Confederacy, and save our men;
money, credit, and self-respect The army is
/ dying by thousands, and when man is taken
sick his doom is sealed. Oh for leaders
