Here is grand total of almost seventy thou
sand men killed, disabled, and missing, TO which
add loss at Fredericksburg, $4,000, in eight
months, besides all that died of disease and this
was the result of the lingering" policy of divid-
ing the army of Virginia.
1t is sore thing 60 believe that any American
citizen, and especially any one in authority,
would deliberately plan the endangering, and al
most destruction, of vast Amy of our friends.
But any candid man who will sit down and, with
an unbiased mind, read the narration Of the
Virginia campaign, from which we have quoted
see vast army Of patriots in deadly peril placed
there by the GoraRmenf, and witness the earnest,
and sometimes almost dispairing appeals Of their
commander for succor, made day after day, from
the 18th of April until the LIST of August--ap-
pcals that were made by man that knew there
was, for great part of the time, near 100, 900
unemployed men around Washington-appeals
that were met by silence, promises that yielded
the Dead Sea, turned into ashes az the touch or
answered by a single line of insult such as 81
have no rv,nforcements to send you," Up. 1907
or by the suggestion of some foolish point for
eign to the important question under discussion,
such as, 81 am very anxious about the Chicka-
hominy, so close IN your Please look to
it." Page lis. We say any man that will look
and consider these things, must conclude that
there were, controlling the President, set of ar
rant scoundrels who desired the prolongation of
the war for some sinister purpose-either TO reap
rich harvests ont of fat army contracts, to ex-
cite the public mind TO the point of agreeing to
strike down State rights and institutions and
seize private property; or else a set Of base cow
ards. who feared to stay in Washington in the
absence of a vast army TO shield them In their
nefariouS acts. But enough of this A whole
volume would not be large enough in which 20
write all the acts of turpitude committed by Alb
oliiionists in causing this war TO "LINGER."

can only he explained ON the ground that the
Governor had procured their arrest In every

had prepared resolutions at such In no single
