and IL may be more thana dinner spell. Power
ful armies, Overwhelming in numbers apparently,
with all the appliances Of war. are marshalled
against the rebel strongholds. and with every APP
pcaranee Of an easy triumph. But at every step
they have met a determined foe. It could not
be otherwise. Thew are men Of our own race
and we would not wish itdisgraced by cowardice,
for that would humiliate both alike.
We do not profess to be able TO give an in
~telligent view Of the situation. IL is useless to
speculate upon the results when the logic o.
events will before many DAYS solve the problem.
We know that there has been eight days terrible
fighting, the most so Of the war, and the victims
are numbered by tens of thousands. And so
accustomed has the public mind become to these
details Of carnage that the human slaughter
excites but little feeling. There is an anxiety
to hear the result. but the fearful cost is hardly
taken into consideration.
We may speculate a little and venture an
opinion. LEE's army may be driven back fro I'M
one line of defense TO another, and finally upon
Richmond. This will not. however. end the
struggle. rhe rebel capital is probably garrison
ed and provlsioned to withstand a long siege
We predicate this opinion upon the fact thas able
military men are managing the contest on the
rebel side. Is il not safe then to draw the con-
cIusion, however much we may wish it otherwise.

the death Of Gen. Wadsworth.
The General, he says, lived three days after he
fell into their hands, and was very kindly treated.
He was conscious up TO the hour of his death.
and his only regret was not that he had fallen
MORALLY wounded, but that he should die among
the enemies of his country. for which he had
given his life a cheerful sacrifice.

O. p. VI. ON the Presidency.

A few DAYS ago His Excelleney expressed the
opinion, that if General GRANT should be sue
cessful in capturing Richmond, a result he did
not doubt, he was certain to be the next Presi-
dent-that opposition to him would be of no
more avail than beating back a driving storm
with a wisp of straw. In the case Of General
GRANT. success in a military campaign, the
Governor thinks will be the standard of merit
and the qualification TO I'll a position which will
more than ever for the next four years require a
thorough knowledge of the science of govern
ment. wisdom. ssgacity. 6rmness and admins
trative ability of the highest order. II is EASY to
involve a nation in difficulty. but to e~xtricate it
from trouble requires great judgment and skill.
General GRANT may be the man who in the
present crisis will be first in war and first in
peace" The fact that so prominent a Republi-
can as His Excellency looks to General GRANT
as the coming man to preside over and guide
the destinies Of the nation is evidence that
he has but little confidence in those now
in power. A large portion of the Republi-
cans entertain this sentiment. aud those who so
think demand a change of administration as
necessary TO save the nation from utter ruin.
The call for the Cleveland Convention to assem-
BILE on the 3lst Of May. which we published yes
terday. and which is signed by leading Republi
cans in all sections Of the loyal States, in Ian
guage most positive and unmistAkable. insists
that new men shall be placed in power, whose
honesty and ability will be a guarantee that
efficiency and integrity will characterize the flu
ture conduct Of our public affairs While we do
not suppose those considerations will weigh much
with our mobile" Governor, he may have the ss-
gacity to 'smell the breeze from afar"-that pop
ular revolution which will break asunder party
restraints and remove the dead weights which
now hang so heavily upon the nation.
