Conduct of the War.by Geo. Fitzhugh. Mr. Editor: We are preparing for De Bow's Review another essay on the "Conduct of the War." That Review appears but once a month, and hence, any suggestions we make might, by delay, be robbed of their usefulness. We have heretofore, and shall continue hereafter, to ask of you to publish in advance what we write on this subject for that Review, because the Dispatch has more than double the circulation of any paper in the South. We entirely concur in the President's defensive policy. Nay, more, we think it has not been carried out properly. Our troops should withdraw gradually into the interior, leave our enemies to disperse their vast numbers around a circuit of ten thousand miles, and destroy them in detail by attacking them from within, with superior forces, at many points in their boasted anaconda circle. They have committed a fatal error in thus diffusing their forces, and if it were too late for them to retrieve that error, we wou

fills me with amazement. Not empty these musical wind-utterances of his; they are big with prophecy; they announce, too audibly to me, that the end of many things is drawing night! " "In those healthy times, guided by silent instincts, and the monition of nature, men had from old been used to teach themselves what it was essential to learn, by the one sure method of learning anything, practical apprenticeship to it. This was the rule for all classes; as it now is the rule, unluckily, for only one class. The young noble, before the schoolmaster was after him, went apprentice to some older noble; entered himself as page, with some distinguished Earl or Duke, and here serving upwards, from step to step, under wise monition, learned his chivalries his practice of arms and of courtesies, his baronial duties and manners, and what it would be seem him to do and to be in the world — by practical attempt of his own, and example of one whose life was a daily concrete pattern for him."

a circle. We must give up unimportant points, retreat to the interior, and thence sally forth and break up their magic circle. We agree with the President in another matter. We think that men can do nothing well that they have not learned by practice to do whilst young. Probably we go further than the President. We are positively sure that no man, over fifty, can learn to do well anything to which he has not been accustomed theretofore. We don't want stump orators for Generals. Mr. Carlyle has written so ably, so eloquently, and so philosophically on this subject, in his Latter-Day Pamphlets, in his essays on "Stump Orators" and "Parliaments," that we request that you will publish some extracts from those essays, which we send you. Ignorant people will charge us with a disposition to flatter the Executive; but all well- informed people know that we have the ear of the South, that we have devoted ourselves for so many years past to the defence of the South, and that we
