put in notion in pursuit AS soon as pos
sible, and have continued to pursue
what remained Of them to this point.
We have been delayed by frequent
sklrmishes between our advance and
their rear guard, and by the absence of
bridges which they burned as they pass
ed. On the battle field and in the pur-
suit, we have taken about two thousa nd
prisoners, and we have good reason 10
suppose that their army is not only de-
moralized by its reverses, but scattered !,
and its infantry, at least, dissipated re
solved into its original elements. The
escape of their artillery is almost the
only cloud upon the briIliance Of our
success. Besides annihila;ing Sibly's
army, we have destroyed the apparatus OF
the extensive salt works Of Vermillian
Bay, from which the principal supplies
of that necessary article have been de-
rived by the confederacy. We have
possession of a foundry where no small
part Of their artillery has been turned
out. We have destroyed their formid
able gunboats, including the famous
"Queen Of the West" We have pos.
session of country fairly overrun with
beef, and other pastoral wealth, and rich
in corn, sugar, DC. All of their sup.
plies we have cut off from Port Hudson
and the army and people of the coufed

ments of success. We have released
thousands of good Union people from tht
despotism of the confederate leaders and

reign of terror. Probably we shall ex

EDITOR GUARDIAN CHANGING to
take up the Civilian Of last week, few
days ago, l noticed Mr.. Riale's reply, or
rather non-r reply, to your article upon his
sermon preached on fast day. In regard to
that, have only to say that l heard it,
and in my opinion, it was just such a
sermon as to use the language of the
immortal Webster on another occasion)
" acas not fit to be made" But I am a
defender Of the Clergy and on the 9TH
er hand, think you were the last man
that should have made those criticisms;
not but what they were just, but be-
cause | consider you mostly responsible
for our being inflicted with such SER
mon. You printed, you recollect, that
week, in the Guardian, Mr.. Mahony's
Proclamation. Now, it was the most
natural thing in the world for Mr.. Riale,
who supposed that everything published
in Union paper was loyal. should with
out looking at the heading, in running
his eye over that proclamation, suppose
1T to be the legitimate one of "Hones,
Old Abe" and make out his exercises
accordingly. think that charitable
way of accounting for the manner in
which he addressed us. Certain it is,
that he could not well have given us q
homily more in the spirit Of that proc
lamaton than he did, Nor is it strange
that he does not give that reason, as We
all dislike to own that we have made {
blunder. A. z.

COndust OF lhe war---lIoOIeuaa's Gousr-

alahip.
The few extracts which We give from
the report Of the Committee on the Con-
duct Of the War give the finishing touch to
the picture Of McClellAn's descent from
the proud position he once held at the
head Of the largest and best army ever
upon this continent. That report shows,
beyond the possibility Of a quibble or
doubt, that Mcclellan repeatedly and sys-
tematically violated the orders which he
should have Obeyed, and that in nothing
tha. he undertook, as Commander Of that
army, did be accomplish any good result
The official records that are here exhumed
Of orders and correspondence prove more
incompetence, more.disobedience, more to-
tai ineficieney than his most =7gent Op-
pOnents have ever charged upon him. The
New York Times, which, up to the retreat
20 the James river, was one of McClel-
lan's most determined supporters, says Of
q perusal of this report
GBut we never anticipatedso signal and
so startling a demonstration Of his inca
paoity as is afforded in the pages Of this
report. tits easier, we are we'll aware, 10
criticise campaign after it is ended than
to conduct it, and every General doubtless
sees many points after the event in which
he might have done better than he did.
But it ssldoms happens that in no single
instance could he possibly have done
Worse;- and yet we cannot recall solitary
movement Of any importance in General
McClellsn's campaign which does not
seem to have been precisely tie worst that
the case allowed"
Another fact is demonstrated in this re-
port. 1t is the eminently practical and
military eye with which the President
viewed the situation and made sugges-
tions, which, had they been addressed to
less self-opinionated Commander, would
have resulted in more successful cam
paigns than any of McClellan's. Espe-
ciaIly is this manifested in the letter OF the
President to Mcclellan, dated October
18th, 1862, and suggesting a rapid march
toward Richmond, which should distance
the rebel army. No man Of clear perceP-
tons can arise from reading Of the re-
port without feeling renewed confidence in
our President, and renewed qualification
that the "YOung Napoleon" no longer
commands the Army of the Potomac.

The following, which we find in the New
York Evening Post, illustrates the difficult
ty under which conservative lecture
committees labor in undertaking to make
up non-abolitionist course:

of answering such calls, for lecturer for
