The fsct that the country is generally
disappointed in the recent raids Of Logan
Smith, Kilpstrick, and Sherman, show
how anxious the people ere for decisive
blows. While they have not accomplished
all that was hoped. they have yet served
sn excellent purpose. They have dis
tTaeted the policy Of the enemy; they
have kept him In 3 stats Of alarm, prevent.
ing offensive movements on his part; they
have expelled Longstreet from East Ten
nesseei they have resulted in the desLFUc
tiOns Of food, many miles Of railroad, and
stOre-houses in great quantities. They
have relieved the rebels Of thousands Of
negroes, whose time during the summer,
would have been occupied in producing
the material Of war for the rebe1 army.
There sre, however, several facts which
make general advance, ct present, not ss
desirable ss It will be in a short time
hence.
There are two facts which must be taken
into account. One is, that onr army Is
not in full force in the field to hold all the
points We are occupying securely, and to
furnish, in addition, the large armies
needed to fight great battles at the mecca
saFy points. Our soldiers are returning
On furlough; and the recruits which they
are getting up, are only in process Of be-
Ing seasoned for their duties. 30 far for
cur own army.
The other fact is, that The rebels have
at present large force at work. Their
own declaration is, that they have now
more men in the field than they have had
since the war begun. This statement may
perhaps be doubted; but We can have no
doubt that their armies are large This Is
proved by the feet that they could 80 sue
cessfully resist Smith and Grierson in
Northeastern Mississippi; and meet us at
the same time with a force larger than
ours in Florida.
While our armies are not yet filled up
to their maximum point, it may possibly
be good policy to destroy the means for
supporting the rsbsl armies by grand raids
into their territory. 1t is undoubtedly
true that JEFF. Davis can better maintain
his forces when scattered over large re-
gion than when concentrated in large ar.
mics. Our policy, therefore, is evidently
to concentrate; theirs to scatter. We
trust that General Grst will see this and
demand combined attack Of our forces
upon the strongest position Of the rebels.

the firm hold which Abraham Lincoln has upon

That Mr. Phillips said was excellent, worthy Of

FOUR O'CLOCK. P. M.

There Is no news from the front, later than
appeared In the REPUBLICAN extra, at noon,
which will be found upon the fret page.
That Lee, at last accounts, was striving to
reach the defencoS Of Richmond to save his
army from the advancing and peerless col.
ums of Grant, there lie not the slightest doubt
In the mind of any resonable, sensible man.
The rebel army has, by series Of defeats and
reverses, to which 1t has not been used, become
disheartened. Besides, Il Is good deal rsaker
'in Numbers than ns Army orms Potomac.
The latter is flushed with glorious victory,
is lighting for a great principle, is led by a
brave and sklllful man, in whom the rank and
file and country have full confidence, snd who
never retreats and never surrendersl
The difference is great. Lee is wrong and
must fail. Grant is right, and must conquer.
Honest men know It..
Richmond and the rebellion are as sure TO
fall as the sun and moon arc to set. Let the
people have patience. There is a good time
coming. Walt a little longer.

The Care OF the Wounded,

WAsHIEoToN, May 20, 1891.
JShH ?. Seymour, EIq., Gen. Sidtt Agent SfR ~
SIR Having Just returned from Frederlcks-
burg, where | have been for ten days past,
take pleasure In answering your inquiries reia-
tive to the condition of the wounded.
First, as TO numbers, DR.. McFarlan, Medical
Director OF the Army OF the Potomac, assured
me two days since, that IL, 900 would cover all
the wounded since the movement of the army.
From DR.. Dalton, Medical Director at Fred
ericksburg, learn that at no time have the
wounded In that city exceeded 5000, and most
of the time but little over 5000. OF course
these numbers are large, but far less than re-
ports thus far would lead us to suppose.
As to the care of the wounded, at no time
have the wants Of the wounded been more
promptly met by the Government and the va
rious Commissions. II there has been suffer-
Ing among the wounded at FTedercksburR
from want Of supplies, as there undoubtedly
has, II has arisen more from want or knoWL
edge how to procure them and from Ia ok of
medical officers than from any deficiency In
supplies. Ny hospital Of 100 patients was
opened on wednesday, May 11-among thJ
frat Of those by ciyllians-and from an hour
after the entry Of the wounded they have not
wanted for all necessarles and luxuries. Each
day all the men have had coffee, beef tea,
farlna, milk punch several times, soft bread
and butter, and solid ratiOns In abundance to
those who could take them.
In my judgment the great want there at
present Is young men as dressers, or Young
who will go through tho long ser
vico of dressing wounds and attending to the
minor wants. OF mere nurses there seemed
an ample number Few civilians will CON
tinue uninterruptedly to perform the actual
labor necessary for this purpose, and liberal
detail from the army has been made. In add.
tlon TO the abundant medical and other sup
plies furnished by the Government, the various
Commissions and State agencies are on the
ground doing all in their power. The Toluu-
