was TO force the passage of the Chicka.
hominy, on the north side of which, and
covering the roads to Richmond, the rebels
had planted themselves in a fortified line.
What we have done is to feel this line by a
vigorous attack, in which, though gaining
some temporary successes, and at one or
two points actually carrying the enemy's
works, we have, on the whole, reached the
conclusion that any victory that could here
be won must cost too much in its pur-
chase. 1 think may safely predict that
there will be no renelcdl Of the assault on
the lines of the Chickdhominy !; that we
must look to the resources of strategy to
plant this army in position where, being
at less of disadvantage, its valor will have
better promise of adequate reward.

Phillips vs.. Lincoln.

,eWESpEL1 PHTLLIPs made speech ct the
anniversary Of the Emancipation League in
New York short time ago which was ten
fold more denunciatory- of ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN thar, anything which the most violent
"copperhead" has yet dared to utter. VAL
LANpIeHAM was banished for language
which reads like very respectful common
dation in comparison with PHILLIPS lndlg-
nant diatribes. The word " Philippe I" has
received an accession of meaning from these
inyectives of the modern DEhosTHENEs OF
antislavery. He pronounces LINCOLN the
foe of popular liberty to the white race as
well as to the black, denounces bis policy,
ridicules his pretensions and his conduct,
dissects his letter to Mr.. HODGES, OF Ken
lucky, and caps the climax of his condem'
nation by declaring that "No negro on this
continent owes him LINCOLN the first
shadow of gratitude"
The inquiry naturally arises that, it the
negro owes Mr.. LINCOLN no gratitude, who
on this continent does2 His Administra-
ton has been governed by only two ideas
two controlling aims. First, his own re-
election; aud second, the negro. If he has
done nothing for the negroes, his Admins
tration is a complete failure except as it
has placed in his hands power which may
be welded for its own perpetuation. Cer-
tainly, his most enthusiastic supporter will
not dare to claim that ABRAHAM LINCOLN has
enhanced the glory or preserved the unity
of the nation. The war is now almost
where it was two years ago, while in POI
litical influence and prestige among the
nations of the earth, the United States has
fallen so far from her once proud estate as

bumbly to France, whenever the House O.

Let all true friends of our country hope
that at the expiration Of the few months
that yet remain until the 4th of March re.
turns again, the Administration which now
governs may be displaced by better, purer
and more patriotic one; and let US all labor
earnestly that this hope may be crowned
with fruition. 1t is yet possible that under
the influence of wise counsels and pure
craftsmanship our nations wounds may be
healed and her former strength restored.

will make draft on the faith ofthe reader
even greater than did the assertion that
portions of our line held their position WITH
in fifty yards of the rebel works-and that

cAIcKAHoMINY IN HISTORY.
Notwithstanding that the position of our
own line would localize the action OF to- Gay
as the battle of Coal Harbor, have called
it the battle of the Chickahominy, for the
double reason that this name marks the
formation of the rebel line, which we as
sailed; and further, because the supreme
object of to-day's action was to force the
passage of that stream. lnview of the fail
ure to make good this purpose, the thought
of the army and of the country will natural
" be directed to the future moves on the
great chess board. 1t is fact, Of which
you may not have thought. that Lieutenant
General Grant, in his advance on Rich
moud, has crossed every line of operations
that has ever been planned with Rich
mond as the objective. He has adopted
not; he has bisected all. He is at present
on the line of McClellan's peninsula CAM
paign; but will he remain on it May he
not swing across that too? 1t would GER
tairly be in the line Of his mode of action to
do 80. But such considerations belong to
an order of speculation in which extreme
delicacy is an obligation of duty imposed
upon every writer here. Accordingly let
the action of to day pass into history to hold
such relation with the whole campaign Is
the future may determine.

Not antil the splendid attack of Han

blood bought victory had been wrested

position this morning carried and lost. This
position is bald hill, named Watts hill,
dominating the whole battle ground, and
covering the angle of the Dispatch road
Along this road the the rebel works formed

think 1t is not too much to saw that the dsv
