Editors Of the Press:

40 me Eduors of The PreSs:
believe 1t is Carlyle. who in giving some
account of the English Revolution of 1852 says,
in substance of Essex and other Parliamenta-
ry generals who commanded in the beginning
OF the civil war that "except being defeated
themselves, there was nothing they dreaded
SO much as gaining decisive victory over the
king" They wished only to give him such
gentle castigation as could induce him to give
up some Of his absolutist pretensions: and
compromise the matters in dispute. They did
not wish any important revolution in the gov
ernment such as would raise the people and
diminish the power of the aristocracy. The
consequence was that the cause of civil liberty
came near failing, and would have failed en-
tirely, If men whose heart wasin the cause had
not risen TO the command of the armies after
the first two years.
To one who has 'kept the run" of men and
events, as revealed in the newspapers, with
the advantage of an occasional peep behind
the curtain, 1t Is evident that something very
like the above has occurred in our present
contest. While we have had some outright
traitors-and probably more than we know of
at present there have been those among the
The Portland daily press., 1863-02-03

offcers who were only willing to fight to re-
store the "Union as it was" with slavery pre-
dominant, willing to fight the South
tenderty till they were disposed to make some
compromise and come back to the Union as be-
fore.
Indeed, suppose the President and nearly
all his generals intended, if possible, TO restore
the Union with slavery, only shorn of some of
its pretensions In the way of extension. But
the President and some of his generals have
become convinced that such thing is beyond
their power. They are true to the country.
let slavery fare as 1t may. This is true of such
Democrats as Hunter, Butler, and Burnside
and how many others l do not know. But it
is not so with ALL They may be true to their
country and the Union NTH slduery, but they
do not wish to do anything against slavery as
means OF restoring the Union. They do
not wish for decisive crushing victory over
the Confederates. They prefer that the con-
test shall continue indecisive until the North
becomes so wearied as to be willing to accept
almost any terms Of peace. believe the
PRESIDENT dismissed a subordinate officer some
months since, who indiscreetly toldthe plans of
his betters. Perhaps there has been no def
mite pan But it is hardly possible not to sup
pose that some Of our generals would prefer
to prolong the war rather than end it by eman-
cipation.
We shall cease to wonder at the failure of
the army of the Potomac to fulfil the reasona-
Bile expectations of the people, If we ever come
to know, fully, the spirit of fmanyOi its gener-
ais. 1t is not so much the lack of ability as
OF heart that has caused the failure. If the
history of the war shall ever be written by one
who like Macaulay. or Motley, can trace the
motives of the actors, 1t will be far more in
teresting than the history of battles, strategy
and the like
An item in last Thursdays Press informs us
that eighty army officers are to be dismissed
from the service for oaense. against army reg
ulations, by the use of improper language in
reference to their superiors and the command
er-in-chief, &c" There is no alusion to slav-
cry. nor any intimation that their opinions of
slavery had anything TO do with inspiring their
language; but one might venture to affirm
that nine tenths of them were afflicted with

second failure. II was better to have a change.
Some portions of this army were not by any
means pre-disposed in favor of Burnside when
he took the command. They were doublv
