The War.

If We can place any reliance upon thc
reports from Washington. there is pros
pect Of much more vigorous prosecution
of the war, than has heretofore been pur-
sued. 1t would appear from the remarks
of Cen LANE when in Chicago. that the
conservative Republicans and Democrats
desired ut the Commencement of hostili-
ties, TO have the privilege Of pursuing
very mild course towards the rebels. or to
conduct the war in such a way that no one
should be hurt, and that ~ a compromise
they were to have eight months for an
effort thus to suppress the rebellion
Their term having now expired, and they
having utterly failed n the ATTEMPT. the
more radical portion are now to have con.

body docs happen to get hurt
Gen LANE with hi. 10000 troops. if we
mistake not the man, will do more to
crush the hydrs. monster in the next three
months than all that has vet been accom-
plished Though we have no disposition
to complain. for we are we'll aware that
much has been done in the way of getting
ready, we sec no further need Of DELAY.
for we believe the Federal army as well
prepared to-day for forward movement.
as they viii be SIX months from this time
If the roads arc in a condition for the

tired Of the rebellion, and we have no
doubt that many Of her citizens would be
glad to see tn Federal army in their
midst, around whose standard they would
rally, and under whose stars and strincs
they would gladly lend 4 hand 10 punish
the leaders Of the increment bv which
they were unwiliingly severed from the
Union.
Let the people be patient yet a little
longer, ami We believe they will see this
wicked rebellion strangl-a and its leaders
