On to Richmond — speech of Mr. Gurley on the army bill. We publish extracts from the speech of Mr. Gurley, of Ohio, on the "forward movement," delivered in the House of Representatives, at Washington, on the 29th of January: Mr. Gurley, (Rep.,) of Ohio, said it was useless to attempt to disguise a fact now almost everywhere recognized, that we must have a more active and practical war policy in Congress, in the Cabinet, but more especially in the field, or we might prepare for a foreign and domestic war of several years' duration. Proceeding as at present with our military campaign, it would be no strange thing to have the "Southern Confederacy" acknowledged by foreign Powers, and our Government would then stand before the civilized world humiliated and disgraced — Our army had long been ready, and our soldiers were burning and panting for the battle-field. We had earnestly cast about for a bold and daring leader, ready for the great contest, and it was painful to confess

He had it from authority, and it could not be questioned, that some three weeks ago from ten to fifteen thousand Confederates in the neighborhood of Romney were virtually in the power of a division of our army, numbering about forty thousand. General Lander sent a messenger to General Kelly, saying, in substance, "Join me;" and Gen. Kelly, without the knowledge of such a messenger, sent one of his own bearing a similar message. Meanwhile one of these Generals telegraphed to General Banks to advance on one side, while he advanced from the other; but unfortunately they telegraphed at the same time to head-quarters in reference to what was going on, when an answer came in the form of an order not to "advance," accompanied with a reprimand for even any suggestion of the kind.--That a battle would have sadly broken in upon some great plan, was quite probable. It might have finished the "great anaconda," as the newspapers have expressed it. But it must not be forgotten that t

tempting precisely what they came together to accomplish — that was, to fight and whip the enemy. The very men who must receive the shock of battle were those who complained most of inactivity.

We had earnestly cast about for a bold and daring leader, ready for the great contest, and it was painful to confess at this late day, that the country had looked in vain for a Commander-in Chief exhibiting the will and the requisite enterprise and genius to lead our forces on to victory. He asked what stood in the way of meeting the enemy? Was it the fear that somebody would be hurt, or did the ghost of Bull Run hover above the minds of our commanding Generals? We had lost more men by disease and sickness during the last five months than we should have probably lost in half-a-dozen general engagements, and hundreds of millions of money had been spent, and one of the largest armies of the world gathered to remain comparatively idle, and become weak and demoralized by inactivity. If we desired the respect of our own people, and the moral support of the world, we would strike out boldly for victory,
