OUR GENFE us AND ARMIES AND
TEE DEMOCRATIC PAPERS.

From he Hsyald
No one VINO sees the Democratic papers eau
have failed TO notice the tone OF dspEagemcut
in which they habitualIy speak Of the great leader
of our armies, General Grant, or with what
malign ingenuity they torture the news to make
every movement look ike disaster. Towards
Sherman their gonduc. is the sumo, and they
never make any attempt to conceal tho snecr with
which they always accompany the name of the
gallant Sheridan
Though Union victory may be demonstrated
by such au overthrow Of the enemy a. pufs IN
army out Il existence, the Democratic JJurHals
cannot rec it; UHJ let ever So small reuulse
result from ony movement Of our forces, sud
then inGCgG the Democratic Journalists have eyes
then tttv can see wuudtrulIy, Let Uut Il com
pany give way, or iUghtCuCd teamstCr harry
his wagon 10 lhg rear, aud our ARMY rs "ruuted,
while the loss of cWnpn render, It certain ruat
we have bad %a,CrlOu defeat. II q Reb ! army Of
twenty thousand men lose thirty cannon, thuf, of
couTse, is very small matter aS there are plenty
OF cannon IN ltichmund.
This n the way Ia which tho Democratic tpars
have sTOheu t'r months past OGs Ghey have now
suddenly 'auuGhCd oIt iutD Oycn more crazy folly
than this, as It tneir opposition 20 our atuues aud
gencrals became kIcItur and more iU'en.e in pro-
portion rs the Vnru itiou OF tgG CJutedeTL,y be-
comes ufurC end more hOpellss. Ia the Worth
and the NCtrs Uf Monday were articles on Grants
campaign, On ShyrWuUs ca. pliEu, amt on SHCri-
dams operations iG thc valley. The U1rhi al
nOunces thai GrJut> campaign against RIchmJud
IL ended and that II hn. ended OF cpur.c in fail
ure. Thn UoyIa j. IN q hurry. TIA Grants cam
paiPn has ndcd Is thought certainly bcgotten OF
the HorhGs wi.hus.
The H'O,H shes, and Lee wishcs, and JsG
Davis wishes nat this campaign hat ca ted
They would hhr very well TO b. rid of Grant in
that way hut thylC wishes 90 not aH 2. the ma.
ter. Let them no. lay 70 their Souls tue lartsr
ing " Ctisu thar Griut is a. last going to ieayt
them alone. Lee tuem no. suppose thiJ they may
at last cease to trembe t,r their capfl ana their
cause, and that they Can finally -it dOWn and
say-"Ihc Rlcu agony is over and we are safe
yet" The great agony is not over, Gran does
not end Campaigns in that way. Fort Henry,
NickshuTg, nud Missionary Ridge IN bear VT
ness that Grant IS not a general atler the Demo-
cratic heart; he does not sit down ~ the very
hour when sitting will protrac! the Rebellion and
going ahead Will terminate IL.
The World also informs its readers that Sher-
mans campaign is q failure. His great advance
from Chattanooga ana all those splendid opera
tons az Resaca, AllatOOna, Kenesaw Mountain ,
the passage of ChatgahoOchee, the great battles
near Atlanta, and the capture OF that city. All
these were useless, says that immense military
man the editor OF the World. And why is this
grand campaign failure IL IS q failure because
Hood can still make an Intellectual attempt on
Shermaus communications. Because Hood eau
Ftl be befteu on SAermau's line of supplies,
Shermanis campaign is q failure.
II is also a failure because If Hood cannot stay
in Atlanta, he can, say he Democratic organs
90 somewhere else; and may be he can 60 into
TcQIessoc, WHISPERS the Neirs. The military
situation in the Southwest, as given by the Demo-
cratic journals, is about this :-ShermRn's hun
dred thousand sodiers are lost on some little by
path in the Georgia or Alabama woods and
Hoods thirty thousand sraggers are spread out
in such magnificent way that they can at plea
sure occupy every important point between
Nashville and MObile and Sherman is such an
ass and Hood such a genius that matters will
remain in that position until the United states
recognizes the Independence OF the Southern
Rebels
But the most remarkable Of the Democratic
military articles is the account in the Nei5s OF
