THE SITUATION.

The situation of affairs in and about
Washington, by the last accounts, is not
such as to increase the hope of the most
ardent Union man, for the final triumph of
our glorious cause. The only way that we
can construe the kilograms is that we have
been terribly defeated in Virginia-our army
driven back to the Potomac, to seek shelter
in the old defenses and the protection of our
gunboats, and millions upon millions worth
ofou army stores and guns have been taken
from US. We hope details will make this
an overdIawn statement, but at present we
are compelled TO say what we have above.
1t has been the policy, too much, of those
having charge of the matter, to keep the
true state of affairs from the people-just as
if they had not a right to know every detail
of our condtion-as if they were afraid to
trust them. Some Of our Generals have
made such balks, though, Of commanding
an army, that we don't really blame them for
trying to veil them in obscurity.
What the cause of our late defeat is does
not appear in the papers. If we were going
TO assign any reason, it would be this, in
flaming capitals: WE LACK A LEADER!
Blind incompetency is the rage among our
Generals. No man has been developed in
this struggle, on our side, who can handle
an immense army. Some of our Major and
Brgadier Generals have done well with
brigades, but not one with "our splendid
army on the Potomac"
The Rebels started out short time ago
with the bold threat that they would make
the war an aggressive one-they would
march into the Border Free States. Per-
haps great majority Of us laughed in our
sleeves when we read this announcement;
but they are already across the Potomac in
to Maryland. and are threatening Baltimore
and Cincinnati-whilet there is every indl-
cation of a heavy force in Northern Arkan-
sas, WHO contemplate taking Missouri and
crossing into Kansas and Iowa. And when
they start to do anything they have way
of going. They don't camp Saturday night
in sight of the spot they left Monday morn
ing. They are making their big strike be-
fore our new six hundred thousand get into
the field.
Some newspapers and some individuals
profess to see something good in all our
late disasters. They say it is very hazard
GUS for the Rebels to go into Maryland,
thus leaving their base of operations and
supplies so far away, and that they will be
cut off from reinforcements and subject
their army to flank movement from ours.
We hope something good may result from
all the mismanageme we have had lately,
and that the tide may be turned In our IA
vor. If Jackson has ventured into Mary
land, we hope he will never get back across
the Potomac, unless he is carried back in a
very common wooden coffin. So mote it
be of all the leaders who have gone with
him.
We do not mean, In this talk, that we
think we are ''done for" by any means.
But we have got back-set that it will take
US some time to recover from. Facetiously,
we think they have got US scared pretty
badly.
