But there other causes growing out Of the partisan
policy reerre to- and out of the Inc ciency which must
always characterize party administration IN the midst OF

but only half of its mind If much that has been

they had been exes in foreign lands The IDEA that
recession would be peacesbe 10 the~Rreat mistake that
underlies the whole movement The President urged
Montgomery purchase the stock OF cotton then
hand a Of procuring ships, munitions OF war and
other necessary supplies and also basis for paper
currency; and also call for and accept five hundred
thousand volunteers He declined to do II, and his Con-
gress ordered fifteen thousand stand Of and borrowed
fifteen millions Of dollars Seeing his mistake, but not
admitting il by calling statesmen who had thus advised
him to his aid he adhered to his party policy and to
the other extreme of general CONSUMPTION of seven hum
dred thousand men, without due regard to the duct
interests on which successful prooDgaon OF u war
must mainly depend. Under the lead Of pet Generals,
whose incompeseDcy known TO ALL the great valley

Generals 10 Virginia and the sublime courage OF our
troops the Confederate capital itself would have
passed from hands Meanwhile the people have been
deceived by the promise that cotton would bring peace
that france England both, would Dterpose that
the Northern people themselves would divide and arrest
the that luyssons Of the enemys territory would
distress them that they would force their Government to
negotiate that Providence seeing to be just,
and our enemies altogether wicked would speedily lead
out with His strong right hand into the light Of indepen
dence None Of these hopes have been realized On the
other hand armies not materially increasing while
recruiting from twenty millions of their
own people, from thousands OF emgrans from Europe,
and, what infinitely worse from slave population
No one it seems, TO who will look dispassiUnatey at
the facts will deny that the foregoing 10 true.
The Observer traces the mischief of division and ill
feeling in this State to the Ellis administration ascend
to the stream, and show that this mischief" and
many il not all msfortunes originated in the policy
inaugursted at Montgomery, and which has been con
tinued to this day. Humble and feeble 10
