ncidents of the second Maryland campaign have exhibited the President and his chief ministers in a manner almost pitiable. With their country tern asunder, and its soil reeking with blood, they only find a voice to make poor and flippant election speeches. When "serenaded," as a popular congratulation on the fall of Vicksburg, the President made an address to the crowd that "not even the friendly reports could invest with dignity."--The Secretary of War "claimed the merits of retaining General Grant in command, and consequently of the victory achieved."

There is but one way to secure this, and that is the concentration of overwhelming forces into Virginia. Our recent successes in the South weet have released from active service an immense number of veteran soldiers. Probably it would not be too much to say that from the armies of Grant, Banke, and Rosecan, sixty thousand men could be spared, and yet leave forces amply large enough to meet all the troops that could be mastered against them by the rebels in that quarter of the country. With the aid of the rapidly multiplying negro regiments, whose fighting qualities are now universally acknowledged, it would seem that there could be no question of this ability. of the Western soldiers — some thirty or forty regiments there made up of Eastern man — thus to be thrown, by th
