Patience.

TeOple, u is Sald, are SettlnS I'M
patient. There ought to be a forward
movement. Something ought to be
done. Secretary Cameron says that
we have six hundred thousand men in
the field. What are they doing ?
Forward Forward!
Yes we have heard that before.
Nothing is more natural than impa.
thence. Let us go right in and win.
But let us also-in conducting great
war, in which we had every prepara-
ton to make-let US have common
sense. There is one man who knows
when we ought to move upon the
Potomac. That is Genera! Mcclellan.
If he be an able soldier, he will know
when that time arrives. If he be
loyal, he will move when the time
comes. And we can meanwhile wait
in confidence, or we can fret over the
delay.
Every thing depends upon our faith
in our leader. Congress certainly can
not tell whether there should be a
movement. Newspapers in New York
and elsewhere have no better oppor.
tunities for knowing than the General.
And newspaper correspondent is in
Washington have had their military
day. War can be conducted only
upon the principles of war. There is
an army Of probably hundred and
fifty thousand desperate men, ably
differed, strongly entrenchcd, beyond
the Potomac. Properly to engage
them requires a knowledge of circnm.
stances, of our own forces and their
capacity, and of military science,
which most of US who quietly write
about the matter do not possess, If
General Mcclellan is equally ignorant,
we are in very bad way.
If any body doubts our leaders
loyalty, let him say so. If any body
doubts his ability, let him say that.
But if, as no one has yet dreamed of
denying, General Mcclellan is loyal,
and if he be the soldier that every
body believes, it is not fair to him, to
the cause, or to our friends in the
field, to aid in creating a public senti-
ment that may cry havoc, and let slip
the dogs of war to their sure destruc-
ton.
That General Mcclellan has done
any of the foolish things that are re-
ported of him we do not believe and
if in any way he differs from any off,
Ger of the Government upon the policy
of conducting the war, we may be
very sure that he differs as an honest
man should, fairly and frankly. The
slaughter at Bull Run was the first
offering to an impatient and unjust
public opinion the disgrace Of Gen.
Fremont was the second does it
mean to require the sacrifice of Gen.
Mcclellan as the third?

fortnight later, be could not have failed
70 beat Buell., who was greatly alarmed
for the position, and ready TO leave it
upon very little provocation. General
Bragg, however, conceived altogether a
different plan Of campaign, and, as 10
has since proved, most disastrous one.
He not only left Buell. at liberty TO
march where he pleased, but permitted
him, BY his tardy movements, to get 70
Louisville first, and there to receive the
enormous reinforcements which the new
Yankee levy is pouring in every day
he has failed because he is too slow.
What is called cautious General is
the most dangerous Of all Generals in
the worid--to his own friends. He will
make no movement unless he is certain
of success. He stands still and permits
his enemy TO manoeuvre as he pleases,
from the fear Of doing something rash
His enemy takes advantage Of the slow
motions, doubles on him, and at last
compels him to move, whether he will OF
not. This seems to have been the case
with General Bragg He has thrown
away the most glorious opportunity ever
offered to an American General We very
much fear that whoever succeeds him
will never find such another. The win
ter is coming on and the river will rise
The whole Southwest will soon be pene-
trated with hundreds OF gunboats and
tens of thousands of Yankee troops

General Bragg and bis army.

The army of General Bragg is said TO be
one of the most highly disciplined in the
service Of the Confederate States. 10
such perfection has discipline been
brought that struggling is said to be al
most unknown. General Bragg is un-
quesdonably an excellent disciplinarian,
aud very brave man but he seems TO
have been greatly deficient in some Of
the other qualities which constitute a
great commander No doubt, serving
under some man of great military ge-
MUS, he would have made an excelle Mt
subordinate. The talent OF separate
command, however, is very rare, and he
at least does not seem 20 possess it,
When General Bragg arrived at Chat
tanooga, about the 25th of July, il was
confidently affirmed that he would move
in ten days. The greatest anxiety was
felt in regard TO this movement, because
from the character Of the army he COM
handed, il was expected that great
blow would be struck Every body sup
posed that he would attack Buell. at
Nashville, because the water was so low
that he could not be reinforced, and that
special terror of all our commanders, the
gunboals, could not be employed, Ii
Buell were beaten at Nashville, the east
ern portion of Tennessee would be re-
deemed. Bragg would be plsced between
Louisville and Rosecrans. He could
either drop down into Mississippi, and
reinforce Van Dorm, or be could march
upon Louisville, which was very slender-
~ defended.
