TRITON ia the cja'llct Of the war -
Take f3r . saaole An article in the
New York Tribune of Welnesd W,
June 3, which opens thus:
An evening journal Of a late, date
had a dispatch from Washington stat
ing that the President, speaking of
the military operations on the Missis-
sippi, said, "he expected the best re-
suits, but was preparation the worst. I"
If the worst comes, we hope he will
be prepared to satisfy the country
that everything that could have been
done to avert it hassbeen done.
We note this stateme,t and refer to
it now, in order that the G overnment
may be apprised thatthe country, if
called upon to heatthe reverse that it
thus apparently half foreshadowed,
will require much information that it
does notnow possess to. convince. it
that the disaster could not have been
avoided. ..r a..
The Tribune then refers to several
disasters which have befalled our arm
les in Eastern Virginia, which in at
tributes to a want Of foresight in the
concentration OF our forces, and closes
with the following admonitory para
graphs: I : FE.rff.f / j
We shall believe, however, so long
asrwe can, that the Government will
not again be chargeable with such H.
tai mismanagement. Bnt it is veil
that it should bear in mind shat there
is limit TO I'll human eslduYance,
even when the suferiag is inflicted, BY
ones most trusted friends. Fl Grant
and brave army shall hs left 70 be
overwhelmed, and the nation be asaia
agonized with the spectacle Of kecs-
tombs of its chil1ern slain to no pur-
pose, the loyal millions will not quail
nor abate nejot Of their spirit, even
in the presenceof so;great . calamity
but they may feelthat it would be NO
longer duty to tolerate the man in
whom they had confded, and who only,
day after day nave given proof upon
proof that they ocana neither compre.
hend nor grappleu successfully p With
the magnitude andthe demands Of the
task before them. , {, I z Mo A.
We feel it our duty to tell the Presi-
lent these things. y The. people believe
in the perpetuity Of the Republic, but
they cannot believe in eternal weak
ness. They believe in the ultimate
triumph of the National cause; hut
they cannot forever endure chronic
apathy and improvidence, that no ex-
perieuce, however sharp, and no adver-
slty, however appalling, can stimulate
or instruett, /, They demand at least
the same foresight, and vigor in pro-
noting their cause that It's enemies
exhibit ii assaiIihg H. The time, IS
past for qnieting the country under
inexcusable disaster With assurances
that tedi9ns and long wars and incom-
potency in waging them are as old as
the world itself With unlimited
meaans, and #ithsrpowers, civil and
military, that are literally despotic,
placed in the hands Of the President,
there'ought at this day to be no fall
ures. We trust that the issue at
Vicksburgwill prove that there will be
none, and that there is an end Of the
system, Of no system, which, if longer
continued, must waste away and con-
sumo, not the enemies of the Republic
but the Republic itself. .1a4ls .r'm5s
