been unable to make an advance for want
OF sufficient achievements. but the safety OF
his force has been imperilled. Already, from
the conduct Of the politicians in Congress, So
rious disasters have befallen our arms In the
valley Of the Shenandoah; curses deep, not
loud. have risen from the hearts to the mouths
of thousands against the criminals and, should
any great misfortune happen to the army now
before Richmond, the indignation of the people
will be beyond control. Secretary Welles
may bless his stars, and the country has ample
ground for congratulations, that our noble
navy has not been subjected to the same disas-
trous influence which has delayed the capture
of Richmond, and may prolong the war into
another campaign in the fall. On the contrary,
1t has disposed Of everything that floated be-
longing to the rebels, and will soon be in .

the united fleets Of all the naval Powers Of the

Our Naval TrIump hs ana Power.

Notwithstanding the jokes and jeers of the
press about Secretary Welles and his long flow
ing beard, his two and a halfpcr cent to Morgan,
and the cxtravagnnt prices paid for some Of the
vessels purchased for the use OF the govern.
H9nt at the beginning of the war, he has
achievements fo snow which compare fsvora-
bly, with the results from the action Of tho War
Department lie has taken good care Of his
brothcr-in-law; but he has also taken care o.
the main thing, and made our navy respected
throughout the world. II is true he began
badly, though not worse than the fe,r pas at
Manassas by the War Department; but be has
ended well, which is more than can be said for
the Secretary Of the other arm of the public
service. lie has finished up his business in
first rate style. The names and deeds of Du-
pont, Foote. Farragut, Davis, Porter, Rodgers,
Stembel and other heroes Of our navy will live
forever in the annals OF the republic The ships
equipped by Secretary Welles In the space of
year have not only annihatcd the entire
naval force Of the enemy, but have contributed
in an eminent degree to the success Of our army
in several battles; and with the addition Of the
iron-clad vessels now in progress of construc-
ton he will have by next falrsuch Q powerful
force on the ocean as will be able to confront
the combined navfes Of England, France and
Spain.
What II the cause Of this success. 1t ia due
entirely to the circumstance that Congress has
had nothing to do with the navy. The poll
ticians probably could not find man connected
with II who could be made an available can
didate for the Presidency; so they let the de-
partment alone, and hence it's brilliant victories
and the completion Of its work. How different
IL the case Of the army. In the Southwest
where IL was beyond political control, IL has
been very successful; but in Virginia, where Il
was directly under the eye and influence Of the
radicals, they have almost ruined IL. Owing to
the imbecilty Of the War Department, they
succeeded in splitting up the Army Of the
Potomac, for the benefit of political generals.
