THE SITUATION AND ITS CoNsEQUENcEs.
From the N Y Herald, Editorial, Juiy 6th.l
General MeCisllan tas failed TO take Richmond,
and has suffered serious Losses in men, artillery and
warIike materials and stores III his struggle 10 ex
trcate himself from position rendered nntenable
from the heavy reinforeements sent III to the army
.,f the Confederate and from the very scanty re-
Inducements to his own. With his army thus
weakened by battles and disease lie could NOT hold
his White House operations twenty miles in his rear
and his enirenched lines OF ten sies in front Of Rich
mond. His original plan, if We are not mistaken, was
10 inovs his whole Potomac army OF last winter IN
grand semi-ciTeie upon kichhond sweeping the an
country from the Potomac to the Valley Of Firgi-
.ii before him. and contracting his lines as he ad
from the north, thus leaving no loophoie for Con
seaer.te raids into the Shenandoah Valley, nor any
chance to the enemy to cut him OFF from the base OF
} his supplies.
Unfortunately however, this well considered plan
/ was set aside by the disorganizng abolition rad
Gals Of Congress- aided and abetted by two or three
poltieal Generals Of the Cabinet
In the failure Of this great and ail-important
/ terprise we have lost the isbors Of campaign !;
and repair this, and TO drive ths ont
| Of Virginia, will 1nequirs an additional budget OF
many millions to Oar national debt. The President
cannot fail now 10 see where the responsibility be-
longs A very significant feeling of indignation is
s,egnning develop itself In the public mind upon
this snbject aud directly against the Cabinet a. af
l. pressnt constituted Lat the President look to his
Cabinet and its reconstrnction as working untf
with himself In the prosecution Of this war for the
integrity Of the Union" and not for xtirpAiion
0f slavery, and all yet may be saved Irt him neg.
lnct this essential duty ct this monaenaous crisis,
