TIKI CAMPAIGN IN TENNRssRE

The movements Of Beaurcgard in Tennessee
are discussed in some quarters as If they bore q
resemblance. in purpose or in detail, to the
campaign of Sherman in Georgia. But the
truth is no two military operations could be
moro unlike. The single point Of similarity is
in the progress of both armies through hostile
country. In every other respect and in the re.
suits which they will reach, these armies arc
wide as the poles apart.
Gen. Sherman, having completely outwitted his
antagonist, has started upon campaign meant to
utilize his previous successes Beauregsrd,
having been outwitted, and having been left q
hundred and fifty miles to the rear. seeks to
cover up his inferiorty in goneralship. to atone
for the defeats of his predecessor, and to vindi.
cate his own title to:command, by an aggressive
campaign. Gen. Sherman is following the bent
of his own genius and obeying the dictates Of
his judgment. Beauregard is obeying tho die.

Tennessee because he must do something. Gen.
Sherman marches at the head of victorious
army, and advances with the prestige of success.
and the encouragement ofpreVious good fortune
Beaurcgard gathers together the remains OF
force that has been beaten in ten pitched bat
ties, and finds his best inspiration in their
despair. Gen. Sherman is sweeping through
country which contains no organized force that
can oppose him. Beauregard cautiously feels
his way over ground every mile of which is
disputed by a vigilant and veteran army, equal
in numbers to his own. Gen. Sherman ID
marching toward his base; Beauregard away
from his The former directs his march whittier
his own judgment points; the latter is forced to
consult the motions of his opponent. We might
pursue the contrast to any extent, but the case
is summed up in the statement that Sherman
has all chances in his favor and Beaurcgard all
chances against him.
Keeping these circumstances in mind, readers
will estimate at their due value the accounts OF
the Rebel advance through Central Tennessee.
Beauregard has delayed so long in Northern
Alabama that he has eaten up tho country and
must attempt something in another direction.
To retreat would be TO acknowledge that the
Confederacy was capable neither OF defense
nor of attack; so he advances. lie resorts
to the sole strategy which his circum'
stances permit, and threatening Nashville
by q demonstration to tho North, does,
at the same time, by extending bis
march Westward, obligo Gen. Thomas to seem
to fall back in order to keep his army Still be-
tween Nashville and the enemy which threatens
i it. Beaurcgard was at Columbia, on Duck
River, forty miles south ofNashville, on the 10Th,
and at that point made vain attempt to cross
the riyor. Thomas retiring from Pulaski had
reached Columbia in'time to intercept his ad-
yersary, and so far as the telegraph affords US
news, matters seem to be once more at dead
lock, and Bcauregard foled in his purpose. We
shall doubtless, have reports of further demon.
STATIONS. The large force of cavalry, under
Forrest, which forms an important part of Beaure-
CARDS army, and which is estimated as high as
| Ia. 900 mon, will cndeavor to operate on the
communications of Nashville, and will make
more or less trouble. But that sort Of work
may pass for what it is worth. 1t is sometimes
vexatious, but it is always indccLSiye. The
struggle is to be between the infantry forces OF
Thomas and of Beauregard, and the latter must
not merely defeat but must destroy, the army
which opposes him. before be can hope to con-
troll any considerable portion Of Tennessee, or
even to menace Nashville.

MORE CROTON WANTED.

The extraordinary precautions suggested By
the Rebel attempt to burn the city have resulted
in making it far more secure than ever against
incendiaries. But there are some deficiencies
which cannot be remedied in a day.
1t is noticeable that nearly if not all the hotels
were fired in the upper stories, and there can DO
no doubt that this was done from knowledge
that in the lower part Of thecity the Croton does
not rise above the second or third floor ..
course the want Of water to be turned on copl'
ously at moments notice immensely facilitates
any scheme for the destruction of these
houses. In the case Of accidental fires the
same want may have just as deplorable
effects In the Astor House, for instance, the
wash.basins even on the Office floor have to DO
supplied at noon by hand. The Croton is ex.
hausted of its force by the vast number of ser.
vice pipes which proceed from the same main,
and what is true of this one hotel is true equally
of all or nearly all the buildings in the lower
part of the city. Various contrvances are re.
sorted TO in order to force the water up to the
third and fourth and fifth floors. There are
tanks, and hydraulic rams, and steam pumps
all expensive, some of them wasting greatquan.
titles of water, and at best doing only at great
cost what the CrOton, if properly managed,
would do for ITSELF In the hotels-or il some
of them-water is kept on all the floors in pals,
but that is very imperfect resource in com.
parison with the abundant flow which ought to
be relied on from the Croton pipes, at all nights,
and at all hours Of the day.
Ten years ago this failure of the Croton was
unknown. Water found its way, without dii'
ficulty, wherever it was wanted. Since that
time the Croton Board has spent great sums OF
money to improve the water supply; but it's
getting worse and worse every year. 1t Is
quite time some remedy should be discovered
and applied; and the incendiary efforts OF last
week will have done good service if they direct
popular attention to this urgent necessity Tor an
improvement on the present method OF convey
ing Croton to the lower Wards.
