a suffering condition. The end of the Yankee Generals. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 8th inst., has the following summary of the fates of the different Yankee Generals. Ever since the war began we have been subjected to one cause of trouble, one element of which few, if any were wise enough to prognosticate. Contentions among Generals, failures in carrying out plans and direct issues between commanders and the Government. They begun with McDowell's loss of Bull Run, and Johnston's sudden departure from Winchester, while facing Paterson's army. Since then they have been far more numerous than edifying. Fremont, twice relieved of important commands, is ones more en route for Washington, to "try, try again." Stone, suddenly deposed, is imprisoned Benham, twice arrested for not having done what was expected of him on the battle-field, or doing too much, is deposed from his command and rank. McClellan is superceded by Halleck in the supreme command Pope expressly ord

What are our forces about? and if he is compelled again to withdraw, will he be allowed to effect his long retreat with success? All these questions arise, and no one here can answer except with conjecture. We trust to our men and their commanders. The valor which so often repulsed him may, guided by such a man as Johnston, achieve something more than a repulse of the enemy, now that he is so far inland from his base of operations. Let us hope that this event is fully as severe to the enemy as represented, and that our brilliant defence of a Gibraltar so often fruitlessly assailed may be turned now into a crushing disaster to the merciless invader. To him Vicksburg is a most trouble some place — a nuisance of the first magnitude. Every failure to reduce it but increases his rage and his malignity. He retu
