d without a manly struggle. I will not disguise it from you that you have brave foes to encounter — foemen well worthy of the steel you will use so well. I shall demand of you great and heroic exertion, rapid and long marches, desperate combats and privations. Perhaps we will share all these together; and when this sad war is over, we will all return to our homes and feel that we can ask no higher honor than the proud consciousness that we belonged to the Army of the Potomac.

nce to invasion as any people. But we have seen nothing in this abominable war to demonstrate their equality as military men with the Southern people. The Germans are as brave as the French, but who would pretend that they possess the same military aptitude? The Northern armies are, as armies, brave and resolute, and well officared, but we have seen as yet no evidences of their ability to meet the South man to man, or in any proportion but that of three to one. We see no reason for discouragement in the reverses we have experienced — nothing to after the opinion we have always hold, that the Northerners are brave fighting men in general, but not brave enough for such a work as they are now engaged in. We have unfortunately given McClellan time to make soldiers of Ivies which were at one time raw and unreliable. But the army of xes even if perfectly drilled, would not avail for the conquest of a people who are fighting for their homes and firesides and determined to be free.

Past considers that the late retreat is the meat masterly military movement of the war. But profound is the disappointment which it has brought upon the enemy. McClellan has been outwitted just as Scott was before him. He had prepared a grand plan for taking the position of Johnston at Manassas in the rear, but an eagle eye was wo had been preparing for it for weeks, had successfully removed the whole of his immense armament and stores, and was bringing his last man out of the trap which McClellan had laid for his destruction. The Army of the Potomac is, by this masterly movement, in a more secure and stronger position than ever before, and has new reason for confidence in this great General, who, as a strategist, has successively baffled the best plans of Scott and McClellan, and as a soldier is one of the best and bravest of modern times. We know that he cares as little for popular applause as for popular censure, and is one of those fire men who perform their duty with all
