The St. Louis Republican of the
4th, in a review of the late battles in
front of Washington says:
We must say that the military
abilities, consummate strategy and
great energy of the rebel commanders
as displayed within the past two
weeks, strike us as exceedingly bril-
liant. Their feints have been unu-
sually successful, and their thanking
movements executed with dash and
elan which we could contemplate with
zest and admiration were they exhib-
tied in some good cause. The hand
ling of the secession troops has been
superb. aiding plans Of remarkable
thoroughness and profundity, devised
by leaders Of skill, education aud wi
ley adroitness.

The Mutterinss Of The Ster1.

The fierce mutterings Of tho terri
BILE storm that is destined to sweep
over the North are becoming day BY
day more threatening and more audi
BILE. A Washington dispatch of the
18th inst. to the Chicago Tribune,
says F.: ..---.E-
The N. Y. Herald to day has an ar
ticle more fully indicating the plots
for the establishment OF military
dictatorship than anything else that
has yet found it's way into print: It
compares McClellan's position now
with Wellington's on the Spanish
peninsula, when the British Cabinet
was opposed to him. and says that
Mcclellan ought to insist on a recon
struction Of the Cabinet to purge it Of
the radical faint which may again in
fuse its poison over the whole. 1t
continues, ''now is the time for Nc
Clellan to prove himself not only
great general, but a statesman worthy
of the occasion and Of the RESPONSE
bility which he has assumed. The
safety Of the country is entrusted to
him, and he is bound to see that no
insidious enemy turks about his base
Of operations. He is master of the
situation. He ought not to rest sat
listed till he is assured by facts, not
mere promises, that his plans shall
not be interfered with hereafter. The
game is now in his own hands, and
unless he plays his best trump and
disposes efectually of the radicals a.
he has the power to do, they will soon
dispose of him by striking him down
on the very crisis Of the campaign
now opened in Maryland.
The Herald ostensibly demands the
expulsion from the Cabinet all but
McC lellan men, but what it really
means is to urge coup detat on the
part of Mcclellan like that which
overthrow the republic in France.
Commenting On this the New
York Tribune remarks
The Herald calls for coup d'etnt.
1t urges General Mcclellan to dis
perse the administration and place
himselfa at the head of the government
without further delay. This is
scheme which has seemed to BE- brew
ing for some time. The job is some
what greater than the Herald sup
poses. Before the melee is finished
we opine that the Western soldiers
will take hand in. They can hold
anything level that the Army Of the
Potomac has yet developed, lift comes
to that, and they will do So too when
the occasion arrives. Meanwhile the
militia Of all the States should be or
ganizcd and armed. The country 10
not ready to be put up for sale at .
pratorian auction. ANY transactions
of that kind made will come to naught
by reason OF the inability Of the par
tics to deliver.

MORE GUNBoATs.-Yest erday an
agent of the Government bought two
more steamboats, for service on the
Western rivers. They were the
Signal, at an estimated price of
$4,000, and tho Marmora No. 2,
$4,000.
These steamers raised steam and
left last evening for Carondelet, where
they will speedily be converted into
gunboats for active service. These
purchases increase to four the num-
Der Of sternwheel boats that are to
join in putting matters to rights on
the western waters. They are all
about the same length. breadth. depth
of hold and draught, not one Of them
at present drawing, we believe, more
than two feet. They arc designed
for light draught war vessels. We I'M
derstand, and will be unsurpassed in
usefulness in such waters as Red
River. Arkansas, White, Ouatchita,
and other similar streams, The four
sternwheel gunboats have the advan-
tage of entirely new hulls and good
machinery-St, Souls Democrat.
