The Crisis OF the CampaiEn-A Screw
Loose Somewhere.
Gen. Grant, in fifty days OF almost continu-
Gus battle, in o campaign marked by more sub
lime tenacity of purpose than was ever before
seen, has brought the rebellion to great turn
ing point in its career. He has finally Gem
PEELED the rebel leaders to admit that their
only chance for safety lies in the abandonment
of the whole of the confederacy for Virginia,
and he has brought them to the distinct ac-
to resist him in Virginia without the presence
in that State of every man that the confederacy
can muster. It is great deal to have done
that; but it is not enough, for the rebels
acting upon the necessity made 80 plain by
Grants operations, are engaged in the reor-
ganzation of their powers of resistance; and,
while they admit that they must have more
men in Virginia, it is possible that with
more men they will be able to resist
and hold out great while longer.
With large accession of force to
Lees army, and no corresponding addition
to ours, it is possible that they may be able to
resist 30 long that the summer will pass away
and Richmond still be beyond our grasp. And
they are making such an addition to Lees
army. The corps or division lately under Polk
Is in Virginia, and appearances indicate that
more men from the Southwest are being sent
forward; and thus the halt that General Grant
has been brought to at Petersburg is likely to
continue for days, and maybe months. Stan
ton will keep for a while with his bulletins the
silence that be has kept for some time past, and
it is not likely that even the late visit Of the
President to the army will be fruitful in forcing
Q further advance. We do not believe that
Grant will fail. We do not believe that our
hope for the fall Of Richmond must be rein-
| quished; but apparently, it must be again de-
ferred; and hope SO many times deferred may
sicken nation a. bitterly as 1t will the heart
Of any single person in it.
Who il to blame for the fact that General
Grant has finally only compelled the rebels to
stake all on Virginia, when he should ere this
have destroyed all that they had in that State.
In an article published in this paper one month

sibility that events might assume the po-
sitisn that they are now in. We showed then
