We call your attention TO the bill
having passed the House and is now
in the hands of the Senate committee
on territCrtories, of which Senator
Albert j. Beveridge is chairman, pro-
posing TO unite into one state the
territories of Oklahoma and Indian
territory under the name of Oklahoma,
and the territories of Mexico and
Arizona into one state, under the
name Of Arizona.
The bill now pending in Congress so
vitality affects the interests of women
in those states that we deem it our
duty to protest to its passage as it
now stands. Par. sections 3 and u
read as follows. THAT said state shall
never enact any law restricting or
abridging the right of suffrage on ac-
count "of race, color, or previous con-
dition Of seryitude, or on account of
any other conditions of qualifications,
save land except on account of litter
acy, minority, sex, conviction of
felony, mental condition, or provided,
however, that any such restrictions
shall be made uniform and applicable
alike to all citizens"
Whereas the above section classes
women along with "illiteracy, Min
GRITTY, Convicts OF Felony" and etc.
and forever bars them from enfran-
chlsement in those proposed states,
1t is thefore resolved,
First, That we look upon this
measure as an insult to the women of
the entire Nation and directly TO the
women Of the Indian territory, Okla
homa, New Mexico and Arizona.
Second, That the bill as it now
stands should fail to pass our Con.

where he should have remained as Gen
eral-in-Chief. Here his ability to plan
campaigns and form large strategic com.
binations, which were remarkable, would
have had full scope; and he would have
been considerate and helpful to those in
the field, But his power as a tactician was
much inferior to his talent as strategist,
and he executed less boldly than he con-
ceiyed: not appearing to know we'll those
counters with which q commander must

he was improving in this regard, and was
like Turenne, of wAom Napoleon said that
he was the only example of General who
grew holder as he grew older.
To Gen. Mcclellan personally it was a
misfortune that he became so prominent a
figure at the commencement Of the con-
test; for it was inevitable that the first
leaders should be sacrificed to the Nation
ignorance of war. Taking this into ac-
count, estimating both what he accom-
plished and what he failed to accomplish,
in the actual circumstances Of his per-
formance, l have endeavored in the cri-
tiQue Of his campaigns to strike a just
balance between Mcclellan and history.

manders made up of those who have al
ways been successful, and including but q
few illustrious names, neither does he rank

80 gross but that it can be matched by
q precedent. Burnside's change Of. line of
manuver from one on which he had posi-
tive objective-to wit, Lees army-to
Fredericksburg. where he had no objective
at all, is paralleled by Dumouriez's con-
duct in Holland in 1888, respecting which
Jomini remarks that he "foolishly aban-
doned the pursuit Of the allies in order to
transfer the theater from the center to the
extreme left OF the general fisld."(6) But
such instances are for the warning, rather
than the imitation Of commanders.
BURNsIDE's ARMY TO FALMOUTH.
The project of changing the line Of oper-
ations to Fredericksburg was not ap-
proved at Washington, but it was as
sented to;(0 and on the 18th Of Novem-
Der, Gen. Burnside put his columns in mo-
ton from Warrenton.. In the march to-
wards Fredericksburg, it was determined
that the army should move by the north
bank of the Rappahannock to Falmouth,
where by pontoon-bridge, the boats for
which were to be forwarded from Wash
ington, it would cross to Fredericksburg
and seize the bluffs on the south bank.
1t had been also designed to march
force by the south side of the
Rappahannock to anticipate the pos
session Of the nights, but this was not
done. Summers Grand Division led the
van, and on the afternoon Of the 18th il
reached Falmouth, opposite Fredericks-
burg. The town was at this time occu-
pied by a regiment Of Virginia cavalry,

1. Gen. Burnside in his testimony be-
fore the Committee on the Conduct of the
War makes a very frank statement OF his
opinion touching his own unfitness for the
command OF the army. After getting
over my surprise, the shock, etc, told
Gen. Buckingham (the officer who brought
the order from Washington assigning him
to the command) that it was matter that
required very serious thought; that did
not want the command: that it'had been
offered to me twice before, and / did not
feel that could take il. told

reference to my ability to exercise such a
command, which views were those I had
always unreservedly expressed-that I
was not competent TO command such q
large army as this. had said the same
over and over again to the President and
Secretary of War; and also, that II things
could be satisfactorily arranged with Gen.
Mcclellan, l thought he could command
the Army Of the Potomac better than any
other General in it."-Report on the Con
duct Of the War. vol. ]. p. $50.

their armies without fighting. He ranges
with the middle category Of meritoriOus
commanders, who, like Sertorius, Wallen-
stein, and William Of Orange, generally
unfortunate in war, yet were, in the words
OF Marmonty never destroyed nor discour-
aged, but were always able to oppose a
menacing front, and make the enemy pay
dear for what he gained"
THE CAMPAIGN on THE RAPPAHANNocx.
TO the General on whose shoulders was
placed at this crisis the weighty burden
of the conduct Of the Army OF the Poto-
mac, the great responsibility came un-
sought and undesired. Cherishing high
respect for McCIellan's military talent,
and bound to him by the ties of an init
mate affection, Gen. Burnside naturally
shrank from superseding a commander
whom he unfeignedly regarded as his su-
perior In ability. The manly frankness
with which Burnside laid bare at once his
feelings towards his late chief and his own
sense Of inadeQuacy for SO great trust
was creditable to him, and absolved him
in advance from responsibilities half the
weight Of which at least was assumed by
those who thrust the baton into his unwil-
ling hands.O To the public his modest
shrinking and solicitude appeared the sign
OF noble nature, wronginE itself in it's
proper estimate, and it was judged that
NO was Il mdu OL SUCH temper tndC INc eX-
ercise OF great trusts would presently
bring him sense Of confidence and power.
And, indeed, severely just though Burn
sides judgment Of his own capacity after
wards proved, there was at the moment
no man who seemed 50 we'll fitted to sue
ceed Mcclellan. OF the other corps COM
manders Of the Army of the Potomac, no
one had yet proved his capacity in the ex-
ercise Of Independent command. But Burn
side as chief of the North Carolina ex-
petition, brought the prestige Of sue
cessful campaign, and it was known that
he had energy, perseverance, and above
all high degree of patriotic zeal Frank,
manly, and generous in character, he was
beloved by his own corps, and respected
by the army generally. TO the troops he
was recommended a. the friend and ad-
mirer Of Mcclellan; and in this regard, as
representing q legitimate succession ra.
ther than the usurpation Of a successful
rival, he seemed the man Of all others
best fitted to smooth over the perilous
hiatus supervening on the lapse from
power OF q commander who was the idol
Of the army.

4. Gen. Burnside, on coming into com.
mand of the army, drew up plan Of oper-
ations, which bears date, Warrenton, Nov.
8, 1862, and Is addressed to the General
in-Chief. In this paper, urging the adop-
ton Of the Fredericksburg route. he states
Richmond from that point" but the state
ment IL made vaguely, and he postpones
giving "the details of the movement till
somo time thereafter" In point Of fact,
Gen. Burnside had not matured any def:
mite plan Of action, for the reason that he
hoped to be able to postpone operations
till the Spring: He did not favor oper-
route, but had his mind turned towards
a repetition Of McClellan's movement to
the Peninsula; and in determining to
march to Fredericksburg he cherished the
hope Of being able to Winter there upon an
easy base Of supplies, and in the Spring
embarking his army for the James River.
How he could have counted on being al.
lowed to carry out plan so adverse to the
wishes Of the Administration, and involv-
ing what the public temper could not be
expected to brook, the inaction Of the
army for the Winter. do not undertake

Of 10 days, during which time he endeav-
Ored to get the reins into his hands, and
he carried into execution purpose ne
had formed of consolidating the six corps
Of the Army Of the Potomac into three
Grand Divisions of two corps each(0--
the Right Grand Division being placed
under Gen. Sumner, the Center Grand d
vision under Gen. Hooker, and the Lett
Grand Division under Gen. Franklin.
1t need hardly be said that this pro-
tracted delay at the moment the army was
manuvering to fight great battle, how
deemed it,(3) was likely seriously to
jeopardize the opportunity presented by
the scattered condition of Lees forces
when the army reached Warrenton. AT
that time the Confederate right, under
Longstreet, was near Culpeper, and the
left, under Jackson, in the Shenandoah
Valley-the two wings being separated by
two marches; and it had been Gen. Nc
Clellan's intent, by rapid advance on
Gordonsville, to interpose between Lees
divided forces. But this was not matter
that touched Burnside's plan; for he had
already resolved to abandon offensive ac-
tion on that line, and was determined to
make a change of base to Fredericksburg
on the Rappahannock.
DECIDED TO OPERATE FROM FREDERIcKs-
BURG.
1t would be difficult to explain this de-
termination on any sound military princi-
pie; for while the destruction of the hos
tile army was, in the very nature of things,
the prime aim and object of the campaign,
Gen. Burnside turned his back on that
army, and set out upon seemingly aim
less adventure to the Rappahannock,
whittier, in fact, Lee had to run in search
of him. If it be said that Richmond was
Gen. Burnside's objective point, and that,
regarding this rather than the hostile force.
he chose the Fredericksburg line as one
presenting fewer difficulties than that on
which the army was moving the line of
the Orange & Alexandria Railroad), the
reply is, that an advance against Rich
mond was. at this season, impracticable
by any line; but a single march would have
put him in position to give decisive battle
under circumstances eminently advan-
tageous to him.H

brightest inspirations of genius and the
widest excesses of folly. 1t is therefore

Z. Sumner: Report of Operations on the
Rappahannock. In his evidence before the
Congressional Committee, Gen. Sumner
says: MY orders were net to cross. But
the temptation was strong to go over and
take those guns the enemy had left. That
same night sent note to Gen. Burnside,
asking IL l should take Fredericksburg in
the morning, should l be able to find q
practicable ford, which, by the, way, l
knew when l wrote the note could find.

it advisable to occupy Fredericksburg until

From the above it will be seen how er-
