Ger. Grant and the New War Pel,ey.

What is the matter with the Chicago Times?
All the summer and autumn it took most
sombre view of the prospect of our arms. 1t
thought GRANT was whipped in every battle.
Il predicted disaster to SHERMAN. 1t de-
nounoed the war policy of the government.-
Il eulogised Gen. MCCLELLAN as the great mil
itary genius of the age. No other of our
Generals, it asserted, had the ability to op-
pose the generalship of DAVIS and LEE. II
we had relied upon its editorial columns for
our news of the war, and views of the situa-
ton, we should have said that the past cam
paign had been series of damaging defeats;
now and then seeming advantage gained
perhaps, but in reality one uninterrupted
succession of disasters.
1t is with some surprise therefore, that we
find recent editorial in that sheet warmly
commenting Gen. GRANT. 1t says his first
act on becoming Lieutenant General was to
revolutionize the system on which the war
was before conducted. He gave up the an
aconda system, and began concentrating our
forces. 1t shows how he holds the best OF
the rebel armies at Richmond while SHEER
MAN is left free to ravage the richest domains
of the rebellion. 1t concludes:
In fine within one year, under the new system
of attack inaug urated by the Lieutenant General,
the Confederacy has been reduced to a condition
that promises its speedy dissolution. Mo an fact,
mas been accomplished under General GranEt than an
der all the generals that preceded him. year ago
the Confederacy was defiant; to-day 1t Is graveiy
discussing the propriety of itself into the
Il nd In
In short, since General Grant became Lieutenant
General the Federal armies hare not suFeTd SIN
gte defeat of magnitude while the inroads into the
military power of the rebellion have been numer-
GUS and substantial.
This is a remarkable confession for the
leading Copperhead journal of the Northwest
to make. The scatteration, anaconda system
was the system of GEO. B. MCCLELLAN. Gen.
Scorr may have inaugurated it, but it was
fully developed by "Little Mac" We are
surprised to read such an acknowledgment
| as the above from one of his most strenuous
supporters. 1t may be, however, that glim.
| mer of common sense is beginning to penetrate
the copperhead fraternity. They, perhaps
are at length coming to see that it is useless
longer to deny what is palpable. They have
stoutly and persistently, for many months
| endeayored to convince the country that
everything connected with the war has been
| going adversely to the Union. Are they
finally satisfied that the endeavor is hope
less task I? We hope so, and trust that they
may see the propriety of abandoning theil
evil courses.

The View Regiments,

The name of the Major of the 10th regi-
ment is Charles Fl. Ford, instead of Charles
F. Ford, as published.
The following I'd Lieutenants have been
appointed and conditionally mustered to re-
cruit for the 4sth regiment:
Isaac T. Carr, of Monroe Co. A.
John Megran, Jr., of Stevens Pom, Co D.
W.R Kennedy, Of Oshkosh, Co. @.

Thes. W: Hughes. OF Darlington Co; g.
S. NJ. Sherman, of York, Co. L.
Edward r. Wade, of Lincoln, Co. Z
The following appointments of Staff and
Line officers have been made for the 47th
Regiment:
Arthur W. Delany, of Portage, as Adjutant.
Z. 7. Kearny, of Fall River, as Quartermaster.
Geo. w. Bird, of Jefferson, as I'd 1t. Co. A.
Charles W. Concklin, of East Troy, as I'd LIT.

Leonard La Plante, of Green Bay, as I'd 1t. Co. @.
Alolph Ssrrenson, of Waupaca, as I'd 1t. Co. d.

Geo. r. Wright, of Milwaukee, as I'd Lit. Co f.
RI. o. McGowan, of Waushsra, as I'd 1t. Co. G.
Martin Dewey, of GAINESVILLE. as I'd 1t. Go. III.
w. G. Curtis, of Fond du Lac, as I'd Lit. Co. 1.
By recent orders from the War Depart
ment recruiting for new organizations must
be carried on exclusively by I'd Lieutenants ap-
ppointed for that purpose, and by the Provost
Marshals of the several districts. All re
cruiting appointments heretofore issued have
therefore been revoked, and none will be is
sued under existing regulations.
The Governor does not intend to raise new
Regiments excepting SO far as the best in
terests of the State may demand, but it is a
well-established fact, that when the time al
lowed to fill quotas is short, men can be more
readily recruited for new than old organiza-
tions 1t will be seen that only two Regi-
ments (the 46th and 47th infantry,) are au-
thorized to be raised under the present call
for troops, while the quota of the State Is
announced by Provost Marshal Fry to be
1906.
Those who prefer going into old organiza-
tions can easily do so. The drafted men I'M
der the last call have all been sent to organi-
cations in the field. and the same course will
undoubtedly be pursued under the present
call.
The War Department having declined to
discharge enlisted mon to enable them to ac-
cept commissions as I'd Lieutenants in new
] regiments, until the commands are raised, and
the time for recruiting being limited, it ha
been found necessary to appoint I'd Lieuten-
ants from the State at large, who are not now
connected with the army, but when companies
are raised the Governor will endeavor, so far
az practicable, to appoint some of the line
! officers from the field.

The Board has also expended 50, 800 on the
building, the construction of which was au-
thorized by the last Legislature and an APP
preparation of $4,000 more is asked for to
complete the building and settle for current
expenses up to the lst of Janurry Instant
There are no funds over. The number of in
mates at the commencement of the year was
Y; at the close of the year, l40. 1t is esti-
mated that it will require at least $14, 900, in
addition to cost of buildings, to carry on the
school the ensuing year. Not less than S12,-
600 of this sum must come from the State
treasury.
The managers unanimously recommend a
repeal of that portion of the law requiring
counties to pay one dollar per week for each
inmate sent to the institution.
