THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE WAR.

To the Editor Of me Whig:
From the commencement of the battle OF Manassas
our Government has failed to reap the fruits OF any
single victory won by oar arms. The victory at Ma
nassas was followed by the abandonment OF all Virginia
north Of the line Of the Rapidan. The eight or ten
victories OF Jackson in the Valley resulted in the abau
donment OF that great grsnary TO Federal possession
The victories about Richmond have, in practical result
accomplished next 10 nothing. With one OF two ex-
ceptons, IN every encounter the Southern army have
crowned with success Yet these successes brn,
of the usual fruits Of victory but are accom-
panied by the precise results which usually coHsort with
defeat. Our army is able to win victor, wherever and
whenever trusted. Blu; our Government is unable to

tanned. This war, with able management, ought to
have been taken from Virginia soil twelve months ago
