Grant and Meade, aud thcir respective chtcfa
Of staff Rut It Is very possible and even
probable that the commanding generals aud
their two confidential advisers themselves
bavc not Jet definitely fixed upon plan of
operations. Signs Of preparation. Indicative
Of the direction in which the next bio + is
likely to be struck, such as usually become
apparent previous to the commencement of
movements, are likewise not yet observable.
It Is obvious, therefore, that the public at
large Will have to possess their souls In pa~
ieuce until the purposes OF Gen. Grant be-
come once more reyealed by erenta.
The surveillance ore. the professional do
coinpanying the army has been. unusually
strict dur ng the present campaign, and Of
late much vfgnr has been shown by the re.
specttve authorities making them conform to
the Ideas Of General Meade concerning the
legitimate exercise Of their profession Within
the limits Of bis command. All th,t en- be
recorded by them for. publication, without
running. the risk OF the penalties OF military
law, Which, as late examples have shown, the
commanding General is determined to intlIct
without mercy, Is plain narrative Of accom-
'plished facts, without comments, deductions,
Or inquiries Into md disclosures Of the inner
history OF events. Hence, / teel hardly war
prospect before this army, lest theJ might,
perchance, cover dangerous ground, and
make me- subject Of The tender mereles Of
Provost Marshal General Patrick. Still this
much, I think, I can venture to say without
incurring the :dfsplcasure Of those that have
undertook to regulate the form and substance
In which our Nar news is dealt out to the
public It Is the almost unanimous opinion
Of corps and division commanders that suc-
.cesstul]y direct attack upon the enemy IN
their present ent1enched position can no Ion!
gcr be expected end that the solution OF the
slrntegIc problem now made up in front Of

Washington dispatches inform us that
new call for half million of men may be ex-
pected. This is well, though we are not Ger
tain that the call need be go large. It ia nei.
ther right nor proper, however, to enforce q
draft for more men in the Western States,
until the deficiencies on previous calls from
New York, Pennsylvania, and such other
States as are In arrears, shall have filed their
quotas. II these States had done their dut5,
we believe Grant would have all the men hn
wanta. Why have they not done 80. Be-
cause OF Copperhead resistance, rloting,
ekulkipg, buying OF, and quibb1ing. The
Copprrhead towns OF the Eastern Staten
have uniformly raised q fund for paying the
communications Of those who haye been draft.
ed, and thus return money instead Of men.
This traitorous system can nov no longer be
pursued. We hare m effective draft law, ca.
pahle, II enforced, Of filing the armies and
saving the nation. Why does not sec1etar,
Stanton order an immediate draft to III III

In the House Of Commons, on the a3d, Sir
John Hay aaked II the attention of the Gov.
eminent had been called to the action be-
tween the Kearearge and the Alabama. He
also inquired whether, In view OF the expert.
euce gained by that action, Government
would continue building ships which could
neither fight nor swing.
Lord C. Paget said the attention Of the Ad-
miralty had been drawn to the fight In qucs-
,tinn, but 1t had nothing to do with the ques-
ton OF the vessels to which the inquiry r.
ferred.
On the following evening, Lord Paget, ia

did not think 1t necessary to send an officer
to ClerbouEg to examine the mode adopted
to strengthen the sides of the Kearsarge in
order to resist ehell, that Information having
been obtained when the vessel was In dock
In England.
