~When BURNSIDE started on the
Fredericksburg route to Richmond, the
Richmond Examiner secuted at the idea
of his ever reaching the rebel Capital by
that route, 1t argued that the only prac-
ticable road,-the only route by which
the Federal army could possibly hope to
reach the prize in view,-was that chosen
by General MCCLELLAN, via the Peninsula.
IL showed that the natural advantages of
defence between Fredericksburg and Rich
mond were such that no army, however
large, could possibly force its way through
without almost utter humiliation. Not
withstAnding this, our Generals preferred
to learn in the school OF experience. and
the result has shown that they have paid a
fearful price of tuition.

''CoURrLY CosDEscENsioE.-It is reported

that regard when we say that principle with
