commanding officers from his earpestness and
ability. He (then on Gen. Meade's staff
urged most strenuously the attacking OF Lee
at Williamsport, after bis defeat at Gettys-
burgh, which il done would doubtless have
resulted in the utter overthrow and destruc-
ton of the rebel army. He, lin command
of the % Corps, made the stand and fight at
Bristow's Station, in October, SO, when Lee
undertook to tread on the heels Of our army,
then falling back to Cenreyille, and lost
500 men in the operation.
OF the Major Generals relieved and order
ed elsewhere, S. kes, Newton and French
have been styled the military malcontents. 3"
Gen. French has the credit of having lost us
the engagement of Mine Run-or rather, Of
being the cause OF the failure Of the move
ment of which the action on Mine Run was
a part. OF Gen. Newton we have very
small opinion, from what We have heard Of
him. Gen. Sykes has always commanded the
regulars in the array, and is we suppose, capi-
Bile; but seli-willed, and sometimes fractious.
OF the BrigRders relieved, Spinols is worth
less pot-house politician Of New York; the
others we know little of, except that Gen.
Meredith is a brave fghting-man.
There will, of course, be some hears-burn-
ing and jcalousies created for a time by this
reorganization. But something of the kind
was absolutely necessary to the highest ell
cheney of the Army Of the Potomac, and in
the end we anticipate the best results from it.

Pure Democratic Doctrine.

The Democratic State Convention Of Rhode
Island, on the 22nd, passed a series Of reso-
lutions, of which the following is the pre-
amble:
Whereas frstricidal war. originating in a
disregard 4 the maxims and warnings Of our
fathers, is deeolating the land and threatening
the permanent disruption OF our federal Union
and whereas, the present administration, by its
fatal policy in the conduct Of the war, by its in
fringement Of State and individual rights, by a
general suspension Of the WI, Of habeas corpus
and substituting military for civil courts, and
above all, by employing the army 10 suppress
the freedom Of elections and forcing govern
men,s Of minorities upon the people Of the state,
has not only protracted the war indefinitely,
bringing upon the country nterminable taxation
and financial ruin, out has created general
alarm for the integrity Of the States and the
liberty Of their citizens, all threatened 10 be
swallowed up in finatical despotIsm, the worst
Of all governments and whereas, the country
has no guarantee for the speedy and successful
termination Of the war under the imbecile and
changeable management Of the present admins
tration, through any other means than a change
Of men AZ the coming Presidential elecu0n,-
therefore, Rstolped, sc.
Here is no intimation Of any cause for
war given by the South 10 hint Of any in
fringement of rights by the rebels no in
timatiou OF any resistance to Federal author
ity BY them no intimati0n Of alarm lest
they should succeed in establishing despot-
ism, founded on slavery.
The resolutions, three in number, which
follow, are of piece with the preamble,-
one beng declaration that the invasion Of
Mexico BY France e would never have been
tolerated under democratic Administra-
zion, in other words, that the Government
ought 70 be fighting Louis Napoleon instead
Of JEFF Davis another resolving that We
are on the brink of " national bankruptcy
and anarchy while the third calls for
the election of & President IN whose Wis
dom, integrity and frmness the country may
rely with hope for speedy suppression of
the rebellion. the cessation Of hloodshed,
and the maintenance Of the Union"
This faint concession that rebellion ex-
lists and that the maintenance Of the Union
is desirable, is the sole glimmer Of patriotic
feeling discernable in the whole series, and
this is drowned by the bitter denunciation Of
every effective and practical measure for the
crushing of the rebellion and prosecution OF
the war for the Union Such Is the "spoils
democracy of New England.

CONFEDERATE LVING.-A correspondent OF
the Rerald, who fell INTO the hands of the
retr Is IN Louisiana last summer and has late
" been released, say that while confined
at Shreveport, "the most ridiculous reports
were circulated among the Southern people
Sometimes the news would be that in = trem-
endous fight at Vicksburg Grant had sixty
thousand killed and Grant himself was
wounded; sometimes that Taylor had recap
tured New Orleans, and that Lee had taken
Washington, Philadelphia and New York
and wac marching upon Boston. According
10 those newspapers Grant had more men
killed in the course Of few weeks than
there were troops in the whole OF his de-
partment. At one time We heard that the
Army Of the Potomac was entirely destroyed
ave oorPoral's guard, and that that had
fed from Washington. We never heard Of
a rebel reverse; sll were glorious victories.
The language and tone OF those Southern
newspapers would indicate that rebel reverset
were impossible. However, the truth would
occasionally reach us through private parties
We soon began to learn, when we saw an in
credible account of a rebel success, that in
stead OF achieving victory they had suffer
ID defeat.
