On the other hand the Yankees will open the
campaign with much smaller comparative
force than thev have been accustomed to. With
all their Boosting. and all their lying We are con

Lee when the hour for action shall have arrived.
They cannot add greatly To Grants force with

vastly in our favor. and there IL but one circum-
stauce which renders their chances as good as
they we're when the campaign OF 1868 apened.
That circumstance is the possession OF Gene

sort OF men have commanded ity The imbecile

he Is great general. since he has never done

Such is the man with whom Gen Lee has TO
contend, and such his career His performances
bear no comparison whatever TO those of Gen.
Lee he has hitherto succeeded by dint of brute
force He has always had vastly superior num-
bers when he has been victorious. The man who,
with small numbers and weak resources. con
trives 10 perform mighty deeds is the great Gen.
erai. Such is not Grant. and such is Gen. Lee
The latter has always fought against immense
odds, and has always been victorious. True. the
Yankees tried to claim victory at Sharpsburg.
but the very fact that they were unable to pur-
sue, and that they made no den onstration for
three months after, proves that the claim was
false They claimed mighty victory, too, at
Gettysburg, vet it paralyzed them for nearly a
year. Gen. Lee now. for the first time, fights
with numbers somewhat on an equality Can
there be any doubt about the result. For our
part, all that we are afraid of is that our troops
are too full OF confidence
