Favored with uninterrupted success,' 'man would grow insolentlahd self-sufficient, and per haps impious enough to imagine himself al mighty. A month of cloudless skies would be likely to beget a forgetfulness of falling wea ther, and men might be overtaken by storms while totally unprepared. Twenty successive years of general plenty, would destroy all the habits of economy and frugality which.are'at present the world’s best defence against famine. If men never received physical damage from transgression of natural law, the world would be swallowed up in,excess, virtue would perish out ef the race, and society would fall in rnin. So much for the usee.of adversity. ■ A great military and naval expedition set sail for Wilmington a few weeks ago. There were many great ehips, hundreds of great guns, and 10,000 men. Elated by brilliant successes the public regarded the fall of Wilmington as a foregone result. Not many, even of the less sanguine among loyal men, thought failure probable. A few days went by, and then came rumors of the abandonment of the expedition, and the return of the treops to Fortress Monroe. The loyal were filled with anxiety and regret. The disloyal press rang tb'e changes upon these ru mors and made no concealment of its joy. . A MsClellan paper, now lying before ns, publish es the rumor, and in an editorial says that onr troops were beaten.baok with great slaughter. The fact was; that no assault was made by our troops, and. therefore there was no repulse and no slaughter from the enemy’e fire. Th o pre cise fact seems, from the official report to be: The fleet nnder Admiral Porter attacked Fort Fisher, and silenced its guns. Under the fire of the fleet Gen. Butler made a reoonuoieance in force to within 50 yards of the Fort, and re tired unmolested, having satisfied himself that the place was impregnable to any force at bis command. ' As for losses sustained, they per tained to the fleet, and do not exceed sixty, all, or nearly all, from the bursting of several guns. Now the Wilmington expedition failed. In posting the books of this war "it will be set off to’Profit and Loss.' Bat the failure, however much to be deplored, is no cause for despair. Wilmington will fall into our bauds as Savan nah did, in good time. Tbs failure to capture it ought to teach us wisdom. We ought to have learned, ere this, that the salvation of the republic ia to be worked out with fear and trembling. We are to deserve a redeemed and purified nation through great tribulation, it is for us to know that permanent peace, when it etmies, will come as the wages of fidelity to trnth and justice, and not as a gratuity. We have not yet comprehended the nature of this struggle, as a people. How many of ue rec ognize in- it more then a passage at arms be tween two sections of the republic ? Yet it is something vastly more momentous still. It is tbs old quarrel between light and darkness re newed in open field. One must succumb. It is for the people to say which shall rule. It is not to ha settled by any fortuitous happening whatever. We are to purchase peace at a cost which shall render ns jealous of every attempt to inaugurate war for the purpose of national aggrandizement. The scars this nation is to bear will constitute, not only an open page of history, but glow as a warning against crimin al compromise with wrong in all time to come. This intolerance of defeat, however, is by no means to be unqualifiedly condemned. None .but patriots will grieve over the defeat of our arms. Failure, therefore, twice profits us, — once in teaching us who sympathize with trea son, and once in impressing npon tbs minds of men the fact that man is not almighty, If we thus regard temporary defeat in this light the burden will not seem so heavy. Certainly no man is competent to judge of the merits and demerits of ony military disaster, sitting in bis easy chair a thousand miles away. Whatever else we may be, few of us are military critics. And when we take it upon us to say that this might have been’done, or that avoided, we un dertake to speak upon points of which we are entirely ignorant. Let none repine because invariable success does not attend military and naval enterprise We must be content to endure the varying for tone of war ae other nations have endured be fore. The wide space over which the Union armies are operating renders uninterrupted success impossible. Standing at any given point no man COUNSELORS AT LAW, BOUNTY & PENSION AGENCY.
