this city Few days since, be says, in reference
TO TIE recent Western victories, at is crafty
ing That portion lately Of the Army of the
Potomac, but now serving with the Army of
the west, have borne so conspicuous O part
IN the late brilliant triumphs in Georgia"
1t is, Of course, difficult for one in the Presi-
dents position to praise one army and not
seem to make distinctions invidious to
"brave soldiers lighting elsewhere" though,
indeed, the army that has achieved SO much in
Georgia is made up from the three great sister
armies of the Tennessee, the Cumberland and
the Potomac. But that there is such difficult
ty recognizes tie fact that one of these armies
has not had 30 many successes as the others
have had and it is pleasant to see fair reeog-
milton that this want of success had not beea
the fault of the soldiers. Disaster has attended
many movements Of the Army of the Potomac
because that army has been badly handled,
and not because there has been any want of
1iscHiihe, OF spirit or of steadiness under Ere.
It cou'Sines in Ope those two great elements Of
militapay organzation-the steadiness of old
voops aLW the fire Of new ones. No other
