OF matters purely Military, we have very
little to say, and that little we usually prefer
to leave unsaid. OF the art of war, we pre-
tend to no knowledge. and aspire to none.
But there is very much pertaining to War that
is in no degree technical, but lies wholly
within the purview of ordinary common sense.
And we shall be careful not to step beyond
this in briefly indicating how, in our judgment,
the War for the Union should benceforth be
prosecuted. A good General may be required
to beat an army of $4,000 men with one OF
lOO, 900 of like material; but any one may
safely assert that the thing can be done. If
coufided to proper hands.
We believe that the Slaveholders' Rebellion
ia now in an advanced stage of exhaustion and
decay-that it can no longer recruit its armies
By the ready process of Selling every white
man within its limits and forcing him into the
ranks, and compelling all the free and good
part of the enslaved negroes TO labor incessant-
/ " on scanty rations with no pay at all, on it'
trenches aud Notifications. We believe it un-
able to supply either the arms, munitions. or
provisions, required to resist vigorous and
well-combined offensive on the part OF the
Union armies. We believe that it may be
virtually crushed out within the next ninety
DAYS, and that it is far more likely to be within
that term than ever oiterward. We believe in
| fphting while our ranks are comparatively
/ full, and not waiting till they are thipned,
and then deyoting months to recruiting them.

seek National triumph:
! I. Reorganize the Cabinet. and compose it Of
/ the seven ablest and strongest loyal men in
the whole country-men who thoroughly be.
lieve in the War, and in putting down the
Rebellion at all hazards, and who do not be-
lieve that loyal Americans ought to be re.
garded or treated as the chattels of malignant
/ traitors. We need Cabinet composed wholly
of statesmen who not merely acquiesce in the
Presidents policy Of Emancipation. but who
recognize that policy as a necessary, inevitable
sequence from the proposition that the Nation
has a right to I've, at whatever coat to
traitors.
Ii. Dismiss from the service every officer
who persists in caviling at and exciting hostil.
ty to the policy of the Government. Such
grumbers do no good, but q great deal OF
positive harm. They are constantly demoraliz-
ing and disintegratng our armies, and thereby
strengthening the hands Of the Rebels. Some
of them are members of the secret Rebel con-
spracy entitled Knights of the Golden Circle;
/ the residue are Of Ike spirit. He who talks
/ of the Presidents Proclamation as peryerting
/ the War for the Union into War for the
Negro" is in terms liar and at heart q
traitor and ought TO be drawing his pay from
JEFF. Dayis's treasury rather than that of the
Union. He who is content that negroes should
help the Rebels, but protests against their being
allowed to help the side Of the Union, does
not want the Rebellion crushed out, and prOba-
bly, never did. The sooner he is deprived OF
all opportunity to deceive and dsaiiect the
soldiers of the Union, the better for the
National cause.
III. Call every loyal officer into active
service, no matter in what capacity. II you
Cannot give a MajOr.GeDeral a division. give
him brigade; if you have no brigade for
Brigader, give him regiment. or put him OIL
the stat Of Mojor-General in command of a
division, but set every man to work, and if
he refuses the work assigned him, dismis, him
from the service at once. Make every man
tell,
~. Stop the Coast Survey and shut up tie
West Point Academy. and send every officer
and able man attached 70 either into tue Army
or Navy till tho War shall be ended.
V. Call out the Uniformed Milita OF tho
loyal States for three months, and employ
them 10 garrison Washington, Baltimore, Gin.
