tilled-in fact, handling him with all the ease
that the most competent horseinan could handle

GEN. HooKER.-We would suggest to our
readers that it is neither well nor proper to
abuse Gen. Hooker on account of the re-
crossing of the Rappahannock, nor to sneer
at the army of the Potomac till they
see the end of his operations. We have
not been defeated. We have not even been
repulsed, in the ordinary sense of that term,
the crossing to this side being made to
avoid the cutting off his supplies by the
swollen river. The army is not demoralized.
General Hooker is still confident and hopeful
of happy result to the campaign, which is
only yet begun. Let us wait little, then, be-
fore we denounce brave man and able of
