fight only with the other, the battle was
pretty much drawn affair. And now he
has been whipped by Ton KING in half an

Gen. Grant and the Conduct OF
the War.

a rumer has gotten into the press that
Gen. GRANT has forwarded to Washington
his views in reference to systematic plan
Of military operations against the so-cal lied
Southern Confederacy, embracing in the
plan, concerted movement of all the ar
mics under one policy. If this statement be
Z true, it is Of great value. Gen. GRANT has
shown the highest order of military genius,
and has demonstrated the wisdom OF his
combinations, by the success which has al
most invariably attended them. 1t is adj
mitsed even by the New York Times, that
his vicksburg campaign was in opposition
to the opinions of the whole military and
civil clique at Washington. That campaign
: Justly rivals the most brilliant operations
of modern warfare not excepting the oper-
= stions in the field of the elder Napoleon
It may be said therefore that the views OF
such man, carry with them abundant
weight, and independently of this consider
alton, the idea of harmony and concert Of
's movement, along the whole line is sensi-
BILE and popular one. The greatest draw
back of the war has been want of uniformi-
sy in plan and movements. Just before
the battle of Fredericksburg large force
was sent South, and at time when our
army of the Potomac following the star OF
g MCCLELLAN was making certain march for
Richmond, corps of men was detached to
cast its shadow over the pleasant jewellers
at Washington. In hundreds of other in
e stances the same Encouragement has been
the order of the day. No part of the vast
military gathering has seemed to act in
Z cooperation with any other part, and the
.. result has been prolongation OF this bloody
and costly strife, and an immense advan-
tsge to the numerically inferior Confeder-
ates.
If we must settle these difficulties by the
rude arbitrament of arms, it is certainly
best for US to act with such power and con-
cert. as to have done with the business
It is shrewdly suspected that many of the
DELAYS of the war have been purposely
contrived to make it continue at least to
the expiration of Mr.. LINcoLN's term Of
Office. If this be so, the blood of the need
lessly taxed, will some day rise up to de,
nounce the authors Of all this calamity
Let those who are in power, and who are
so zealously laboring to keep in power
show by their future conduct, that they
have the interests of the nation at stake
and have some little sense of remorse fol
the thousands who by their blunders ano
faults, have been uselessly sacrificed. L
the issues at stake can be adjusted by arms
they can be so settled between this time
and the fourth of March next. If Gen
GRANT has submitted plan to the little
group of menI at Washington, who have
hitherto conducted the war, it would be
we'll for them, unless they covet the indlg-
nation and reproach of the people to give
the utmost heed to the suggestions OF the
ablest officer whom they have left in
command
