Generals Grant, MeClelian and Fro
mont-Ths Necessity or Harmony and
. United People.
Some Of the papers still insist that General
Grant desires to give to Generals Mcclellan
and Fremont positions in which they can once
moro serve the country in the Geld. How true
this may be We do not know; but we believe
that in this great emergency the country is en-
titled to the services Of every one Of her sons
who can serve her, and who wishes to serve
her; and we believe, therefore, that II the state
ment is not true it ought to be. Generals Nc
Clellan and Fremont have had Ia their respec-
tive careers the admiration and sympathy of
large proportions Of the people Of this country,
and the name especially Of General Mcclellan
has an immense influence in our greatest army;
and it is clear that so long as the government
keeps these men in position of forced retire.
ment it keeps the immense number Of their
friends in quasi position of hostility to tho
government and to that extent divides and
weakens the country.
just now 1t would be easy for the admins.
tration to withdraw from the position of-per-
haps apparent rather than real-hostility to
these men in which events have placed it.
Under the Lieutenant General both could be
honorably subordinate Fremont could not
make to Grant the objection that he naturally
made to Pope; and Mcclellan, if permitted to
serve lis country, will, we feel certain, make
no difficulty over minor points By wise and
timely employment of these generals the gov
eminent has now the opportunity to add to the
number Of it's supporters all those who sympa-
thize with Mcclellan or Fremont; and this
would almost make the North unit. Such .
measure would add immensely to the morale
OF our army also; and corps under Little Mac
would be indeed invincible
There seems to be disposition among the
friends OF Mr.. Chase to make the most Of
General Banks recent mishap on the Red
river. 1t is 70 be regretted that our military
operations may thus, perhaps, be deranged
through Mr. Chase's fears that General Banks
may prove to be dangerous candidate for the
Presidency. 1t is so clearly our policy, at the
our soldiers, aud to assist them to the utmost
rather than discourage them by misera.
BILE Screenings against the good posi-
tons that they occupy 10 the minds of the
people, that any contrary action seems to be
suicidal. We must keep together, and we must
keep united on the one point Of the prosecu-
ton of the war, ell the elements OF power in the
country. That is the only way In which we
can finish the war this summer; and if we do
not finish the war this summer the war will
finish us.
II General Grant should defeat Leo in vir-
GINA, and the North be able to present itself to
the South after such victory without dssen-
sions or divisions in its councils, but as q COM
pact unit for the prosecution Of the war, the
immense moral effect Of such spectacle would
crush the South without another blow. Some
OF the Southern States would likely yield at
once, in the desire to save what might
be left Of slavery; and the question
Of their admission would become one
Of the questions Of the Presidential can
vars; or the whole South might propose to
unite with the North once more to drive the
French out Of Mexico, and thus, coming toge
Their for . specific purpose, the Union would
merge into its former condition, and continue
after the accomplishment Of it's special object
But We must gain our victory first. and that We
may the country must be unit.
