The Daily Dispatch: April 8, 1864., [Electronic resource], The "Rebellion" not to be Crushed by "Mere Weight." (search)
lect of this very simple principle that we have hitherto failed to destroy the rebel armies. Organization is necessary, men are necessary, and material is necessary; but concentration and concerted action are more necessary than all. Enough men have been assembled at Washington city, under the orders of the President, to have gone to Richmond over every armed man in the Confederacy; but instead of concentrating there a sufficient force for the purpose, that great strength has been dissipated in useless efforts all along the Atlantic coast. We have had Hatteras expeditions and Big Bethel, Roanoke Island and Florida campaigns; Port Royal has been taken, and Fort Pulaski, and there have been sieges of Charleston, and all to no purpose, except to murder men; and all this effort, with the effort wasted in the Shenandoah valley, added to even the very worst of our advances against Richmond, must have taken that city. All the effort made in the East has failed for want of concentration.
