MiirOy and the Capture Of WIKI
chester

The New York Hero1d is very savare on
Milroy for the loss of Winchester: thinks that
he ought to be "arrestcd, courtmartialed and
shot" 1t says:
The loss of Winchester by General Milroy is
matter that demands thcinmedatc attention
OF the Government. 1t is worse than the sur
render ofllarpcr's Ferry and Maryland Heights
10y Miles and Ford last September, and General
Milroy ought to be placed immediately under
arrest and tried by court martial
The blame of losing it must be equally di
vidcd between the War Department and Gen.
Milrov. The intention of Lee to move north
through the valley was known to the Govern
mcnt more than month ago, and it was the
business of the War Department to post a sui.
iicient force at Winchester, and to place in
command oft reliable General. Milrov did
not make what deserves the name of .ti~bt
The facility with which the key was wrestcd
from the grasp of Milroy has reversed the pic
ture, and given Lee a tremendous advantage.
which he has not failed te use with effect. 1t
has not only provided him with ammunition
and ample stores, but it has opened the gate to
Maryland and Pennsylvania.
These consequences and dsgraccful panic in
Pennsylvania have resulted from the utter
want of capacity and courage In Gen. NIilroy,
whose military imbccility was.long since we'll
known to the War Department. The public
welfare demand that he be arrested, tried by
court martial, and shot as an example for the
future. The interest of the nation equally de-
mand that Mr.. Stanton be removed from the
War Department, and that competent officer
receive his portfolio.

Lee and .stoncwaII" Jackson.

The letter of Lee to Jackson, so full of cha
acteristic generosity and heartfelt sorrow fo
his friend, is worthy the highest place anon
the memorials of great men. "Greater Iov
hath man than this, that he lay down Il;
life for his friend"
CHANCELLORsvILLE,M May 4th.
GENERAL--I have just received your not
informing me that you were wounded. can
not express my regret at the occurrence.
Could l have dictated events, / should have
chosen for the good of the country to have
been disabled in your stead.
l congratulate you upon the victory which
is due to your skill and energy
Most truly yours
jackson heard the letter read, and with
manifest emotion. His reply was noble, and
just what might have been expected of him.
With his usual modesty and reverence, he.said:
General Lee should give the glory to Cod,
He always seemed jealous of the glory of his
Saviour. Then, bursting into tears, he ex-
claimed, "far better for the Confederacy that
ten Jackson's had fallen than one Lee!'
Another touching evidence of Lees appre-
citation of Jackson was afforded when Mrs
jackson reached his headquarters in search of
her wounded husband. She is is said to have
remarked, upon entering
am told that Gen. Jackson has lost his
left arm'
"Yes madam" was Gen. Lees reply; "and I
have lost my right"

The Great Disadvantages the United
state are Under.

The richest article we have seen lately is
from Harper's Weekly, of the goth ult We
suppose it was intended chiefly for European
circulation:
1t seems that their are some people who
think we are whipped. If so, VIC are all like
Gen. Taylor, who never knew when he was
beaten. 1t is precisely the strain in which
John Bull has addressed us from the beginning.
"Kicking's no use," sncers honest John "You
arc dead as door nail, if you only knew it."
This is exactly the point we cannot beat in our
dull brains. Here we have been fighting for
two years, We began without on army,
without q nooy a0ithout scarcely dollar, and
aoith no expectation of a .fght. The enemy, on
the other hand, had been carefully preparing
for many years. We suddenly see that we must
fight, whether we are rebuffed, defeated and vic
torious. We win and lose battles through two
years of fuctuating fortunes, but meanwhile, we
steadfastly push on, &C., &c. We lose no ad.
vantage we once secure, and we prevent their
own succession in the field from helping them

"A Fierce Demunc iatfOn.
The New York Freeman's Journal has the
following bitter denunciation or the Federal
Government:
The imbecile anG wicked Federal Admins
tration is drifting without rudder and without
compass 1t knows neither where it is nor
where it is driven We can well believe that
the ungainly and vacant countcnance of Lir-
coin, rs it is reported, is frequently overcast
with vague sense of terror that renders him
incapable for time of speech or of motion.
The truchlent ineapabes that surround him

Lincoln, Seward, Stanton-have imagined that

liberty even in its excuses. will bow their
heads beneath the trembling paws of these
creatures and quietly lay on the ground the
symbols of the trec"-the arms that the Con-
stitution of the land guarantees to them to
Keep and bear for the protection of themselves

Durn barns and you will destroy them. Ex-
haust your suspicious and narrow brains. and

you-not by political forecast, but as the chron-
'cer of what is, and is ready to become an ac-
complishcd fact-that, if the freedom of the
ballot box be inte.tered with in the Northwest

a free election be further interrupted there, the
irreparable blow will fall. AS if the heavens
dropped it down from above, and the earth
budded it forth, from the four winds of heaven

We want peace and order here at the North.
In order to have it, VIC must have peace with

sweet things will become bitter. Their fan
