pa If the Army of the Potomac has
not been successful one up TO this time,
it has earned high reputation for cour-
age, activity, and endnrance. II has
been fighting and marching and march
ing and fighting, without intermissiou,
since il crossed the Rapidan There is
nothing that courage can do that that
army has not done II they do not sue
coed it will not be the fault OF the sol
diers. The magnitude of the task our
army has undertaken should be appre-
eiased to estimate its heroic qualities.
Its success has been but partial, yet it
has done so much that its high qualities
as an army can be measured BY other
tests than mere success--the usual rule
Of estimating the qualities of an army
and it's leader. 1t has shown itself TO be
made of the best quality for pluck and
endurance. Lou Dem.
We are glad to see such paragraph
in the Democrat 1t is Just and true.
1t is fine tribute to that section Of our
country which has so often been Sian
dered and belied. The array of the Po-
tomaa is made up almost entirely of
troops from the East, and although they
are not drawer than the glorious fellows
of the West, yet they have done what all
Europe admires and applauds, and what
posterity will admire and applaud, and
wonder at, in far coming centuries
There are as brave men as the New
England men, but there are none Drawer.
They are lamb-like in their department,
but the lion is in their souls. The late
Gen. Jessup told us that, at the battle of
Bridgewater, he led New England
force, which, at command Of bis, per-
formed what two vete ran British officers
told him, after the war, that they had
never seen done in all their experience
Of European battles,--Lou Jour.
We are glad to see such paragraph
as this in the Journal, as the persistent
abuse of New England by the Conssrva-
tive press has been disgusting and dis
graceful.
