ninsula 10 the only road BY which the Feaersls
reach the "Rebei Capital, and by another that the
Administration will not take It because Il was
ehosen0y Gen. Mcclellan. It says:
Now we we're lot aware that Gen. Mcclellan
had takea out . patent for the PeniDsuia line OF
operations against Richmond, though we had sup
posed that the iaaentable failure he made In his
attempt TO reach the Rebel capital by this route,
fringe any hight he may have to its exclusive pos
session. We rather fancy, however, that It will
bo found that the chief obstacle TO our gaining
Richmond BY any Of the half a dozen attempts we
tho Peninsula lines, has been the rebel army that
has Obstructed our path, rather than anything
in the path itself. II we. could only discover

"On TO kIchmond'' would be an easy task. Until
that IL done there wilibe very serious obstacle to
getting there by asy route. On the face of the
map there II ceffainly nothing In either the

enough, and we do not know that there IL much TO
choose between them. From the line OF the Rap
pahannock, n0W held by our advance cavalry, the
distance to Richmond is but sixty miles, with the
advantage of railroad and several rivers by which
to supply an army-a task which, put into CON-
parison with kosecranss great march from Muir
the mere matter Of the territorial march the PENN
sua line Ii undoubtedly the shorter but this reute
mas the counterbalancing disadvantages which al
ways attach to military operations dependent on a
water line for connection with the base of sup
plies We take II that the question Of an advance
10 Richmond IL one which will be decided purely
BY military contingencies. II Lee ventures on the
mrtner subtraction OF another corps from the
Army Of Northern Virginia for reinforcement to
the army fronting Chattanooga Il Will open to Gen.
Meade an opportunity which he will quickly seize
II he does not venture TO make this subtraction,
Army Of the Potomac will still be serving the pur
pese Of keeping that force In check and thus les
sening the task of Our army In Tennessee. Whether
H.
campaign against Richmond, is, therefore. simply
question Of the relstlve strength Of the two ar
mics, and the cant about the s.road to Richmon -
and the ascriptIon Of any special magical virtues
to that by the PeninsulA il the dictate either of
uninteiltaibie stupidity or of q very inteliisibIc
factiousness.
