A Forward Movement.

The intimations of the many cores
pondents of the eastern journals, that
the Army of the Cumberland will go
into winter quarters, are rs valueless as
so many speculations in regard to the
complexion of the inhabitants of the
valueless, because false. The
winter quarters of that army will be in
Atlanta, in the heart of Georgia; and
from that point tho terms of peace to
the rebels, their Confederacy being
smashed, will be dictated. Either this
prediction will be realized in events, or
the army that has done SO much and de-
served SD well, will be routed and des-
troyod. The Iull of the present is only
the prelude TO the coming storm which
will crush the rebel army oat of all the
Southwest; anil we can assure our read
ers that they have not long to wait be-
fore hearing the rolling of the thunder
;hat shall announce the army's exploits.
1t is too much TO say that victory is GER
tain. The chances of battle are beyond
the EXTREMIST human wisdom and fore
sight; but we may declare that whatever
human foresight and wisdom can do to
deserve victory has with the means at the
Governments disposal, been done; and
if the prize that is sought eludes the
grasp of our commanders, their failure
will be due to events beyond their con-
troll. With Grant, whose name is
synonym for victory with Thomas,
whose courage and discretion have been
proved; with the impetuous and daring
Hooker, as the master spirits of the oc-
casion; and with an army burning to
wipe out the stain of recent defeat. we
do not see where the word "fair" is to
come IN Ckic0aO Tribune.

The Sole Question.
nuts.

Many well-meaning Democrats cling
to the Copperheads, in the vain imagi-
nation that they are thus keeping time
to their old party organization, and that
they are opposing the Republican party
of other days. Nothing could be more
erroneous. Neither Of the old parties
exist. The events of the last two years
have completely destroyed their identity
and what is more, have completely
destroyed the very objects of their for
mer being. The Charleston platform
and the Chicago platform are both as to-
tally obsolete, as utterly irrelevant to the
present order of things as the Twelve
Tables of Rome. The most salient dis
tinctiou between the two was that the
one established Slavery in the territories,
while the other prevented Slavery in the
territories; and yet there is no man now
so mad rs to imagine that the time can
possibly ever return when that will be q
practical question. Slavery, not only in
the territories, but everywhere else, has
had its day. The war, by its own ineyi-
table operations, has destroyed it be-
yopd all possibility Of recovery. And
in like manner the war has broken up
all the old issues upon which the parties
lived and struggled. 1t has brought an
absolutely new order Of things, and one
which forces all considerate men, whether
they like it or not, into new positions
The sole question now is, whether the
Government, which is struggling against
a rebellion which seeks its life, shall be
supported, or not. Those who are for
supporting it have, in consistency, no III
tentative but to support the war, and the
constituted authorities which conduct the
war. All support which falls short of
this, however rightly inclined, is no sup
port at all. Just as a prop, which falls
short an inch, however correct its leaning,
is no prop at all. There are various de-
grees of detection, but any detection
whatever, in crisis like this, is crime.
The man who does not como square,
plump, up to the maintenance OF the
war, by which alone the country can be
saved, however patriotic he may be in
spirit, is no patriot in fact; and however
Democratic in sentiment he may have
once been. now assumes the name of
Democrat but to disgrace it.-New York
Times

Very interesting statistics are given in

ford material for an approximate estimae
of the numbers now in the field, on the
side of the Union.
The nation, without counting the Dor
der States, has sent ,069. 100 three years
men to the war. Allowing the waste in
two years to be so per cent. of the whole.
and we have $4,000 veterans now IN
der arms. Adding to these the 100000
men raised by enlistment and draft the
present year, and we have an army of
over 10000 men. This must be at
least $4,000 men more than the rebels
can muster.

shonld roll on apace and the rebels be
gratified wherever they are " spelling for
