The Vorfe lo be. Done.
Let any one w ho regards the rebellion as
something to Le overcome by rapid work,
a fierce battle on the Potomac or elsewhere
a landing at Port Royal, a seizure ol Savan
nah, or indeed in any other sodden manner,
fit down wi'.h a map of the United States
before him and study the prospect for ten
minutes, without passion.
The magnitude of the territory to be re
posseeed at once strikes the eye. This Js
no war between two nations separated by
oceans or foreign soil. In such cases, gen
erafly, as in the Crimean war, the struggle
resolves i'self into a sort of duel, or a trial
of htrenth, at one or more chosen points.
And after due trial, and a reasonable deter
mination ol the comparative ability of the
combatants, or when the question of the ex
haustion of one rr the othr is fettled, the
result is a treaty of peace. This is no such
war. The people of two immense tracts of
territory, lying contiguous for thousands o?
miles are here opposed to each other, und
where thej are not engaged in vat armies
they are occupied in guerilla lighting all
along this immense frontier.
General McClellan has before him no
mere problem of beating an enemy in a
battle on the Potomac, or elsewhere. A
successful engagement with the army at
Manasas, defeating and driving Ihem back
m;ght produce either f two results, but
would not be certain to produce either one
It might result in destroying rebel confi
dence and spreading terror in their forces,
so as to prevent a reorganization o' their
defeated army; or i; migil only drive them
to a new point of rail) ing, and a new stand
agamsl the Union troops. A victory on the
Potomac might there'ore be of vat benefit
wnile on the odier hand it might be an aw
ful sacrifice, without a correspouding gain
to the great cause.
We preseme this to be the reasoning of
the Commander-iii Chief. It is undoubted-
i lht rpsl,i. a rarm nn(i rfi-nasionate
. . r , , . .
em.na.u,n of the map, by men who do
Know mncn 01 muitarv auairs.
But the Commanding General has a vaM
work tefore him, and how will he proceed
to do it ? Certainly not by plunging head-
long into expensive battles, which however)
hriliiard and successful, may not be either
! final in their eflects, or even useful as con
tributing materially to ultimate succes-.
Looking at Ihe vast territory of the rebels,
taking into consideration the thousand of
miles of their connected lines, their ability
lo retire into strong positions, even after
defeat, their inler-commnnication with each
other in their extensive States, and in brif,
the general truth that the rebellion to be
conquered is not at Manaas, nor Rich
mond, nor Columbus, nor New Orlean,
but is spreads ovei the entire tract ol South
ern Stales, it is very evid-nt to us that the
Commander-in-Chief has larger plan in his
mind than would be fulfilled by a mere
battle on the Potomac, or the Mississippi.
We have already intimated the idea of
1 cutting the rebellion into two pieces. If
this could be accomplished it would be a
final and fatal blow.
The possesion of three po:nts would ac
complish this, but those points ar not all
of them to t e easily acquired. Savannah,
I - k . L : H .. . Ii . f
v. til ii in iu nuu rvnvjAiiiKrtitrir:rtiij in myic
importance to tl.e rebeliion than Richmo';d
or New Orleans. Whether ihe possession
of these points is or is not a part of the
grand plan, il is of course useles even to
conjecture : but on the same principle it
cannot te doubted that Eastern Tennessee
is of vast imporance to the Union cane.
If there were a hundred thousand Union
troops in the neighborhood ol Knoxville,
with or without any considerable rally ot
Union men there and in Western North
Carolina and North Georia, it is rnorrally
certain that the great rebellion wouU be
virtoally dissected.
We do not speak of this by way of proph
ecy but as affording lo those who are impa
tient, a subject of consideration, and a
ground of patience. We can all see that
if - wpr troir." on wiin a series of battles
.. r ,
in which our success was ordinarily certain
we should be excited, and possioly jubilant,
but we shou'd by no means te certain that
the work of finally crushing the rebellion
was gaining ground. On the other hand,
we can see tht if the master mind is lully
sensible of the maanitude of the work, and
not at all depressed or discouraged by tha
prnpect, it is Ine dictate of good hense to
wait his movements with pat ence.
We have spoken entirely on conjecture
thus lar. But we have reason lo know ihat
Gen. McClellan is not desirous of meretem-
j porary advantages, at the expense of li!e
He will not place the final success of his
labor on the chance of producing a tesult
by local victories, whose effects may be re
ally of no great value. We believe that he
knows his ability to-day to drive the enemy
before him from Mana-sas, and the enemy
know it alo. But he probably re-is, as the
result of a battle fought now an awful field
of blood, a glorious victory, and yet no cer
tain end of the war, and no certain accom
plishment of what is assigned lo him to do.
Having a great work before him, in a vast
g a great worn oetore n.m, ... -
territory, his minil gra?ps tne wno.e item,
and what he does will be done to ensure a
grand succes.. If we kno the man, no
battle will be focghl by bis orders, at Ma
nassas, until such a battle is certain to an
nihilate the army and the rebellion in Vir
ginia; and before such a battle is fonght,
the nation will see a more grand plan ol
action in operation elsewhere, than they
have hitherto immagined. Journal cf Com

Friend Will: The weather this week has
been the most pleasant that I have ever
known for this season of the year Instead
of cold blustering winds, and good sleigh
ing, we are enjoying the soft winds of sum-
mer, and the face of nature appears as green
as though the gentle rains of spring had just
been shed upon them. Delightful weather;
welcome, thrice welcome, to the Soldier of
the Union, who cannot now enjoy the com
forts of home, but are exposed to Ihe mer
ciless and petting storms of anury and exci
ted nature; and no; only do the storms and
clouds of the elements -surround them, but.
alas ! that there should be a hut even the
foul and venomed tooth ol slander mnt as
sail tho soldier on the fie'd of sfife. In
proof of this, look il you please, reader, at
the abuses heaped upon the veteran hero of
the shori, yet brilliant, campaign on the
upper Potomac in tt.e ihre mouths service.
Look at the poisoned pangs of the hy. Ira
headed monster's ingraMtuite in the cae ol
John C. Fremont; and in many other instan
ces that were il necessary I might mention.

Our Regiment is Mill enjoying excellent
heahh, lor which lavor we are very t' ankfol !
to that supreme Beir.g whose vigilant eye '
notes even the fall of a sparrow. j
By the way our worthy Secret iry of War, ,
the Hon. Simon Cameron, paid our Camp a
visit on last Saturday morning He looked
hale and hearty, and appeared to be enjoy
ing excellent health. He spei.t an hour
with us examining the quarters of the troops
and sugaesting many i ems of convenience
and comfort for the men.
Hon. Peter Ent paid ns a flying vi-it on
("Tuesday last: the boys were all glad to see
him; and more especia'ly to see and 'a-te
the etceteras he bes-owed upon them. They
return him their profound thanks, and Inpe
he may scon return aain.
The ladies, too God bless them visit
us by scores ; and with their bright eyes
and smiling faces form osss in the dreary
wasie of sol Jier's life. 1 f:en think, Mr.
Editor, that our national greatness, our glory
and renown, are owing principally, to the
fact, that no other women under the son,
have made so many and such heavy sacri
lice as the American women. Their tie
votion to their country, its con.-'iiution and
laws tl.eir patriotic sympathies with the
gallant defenders of our home thir pray-
' ers and tears lor this land of the Iree, all, ail
conspire to convince 's that the history ol
the American women has never been writ
ten. It niy have been commenced, but
passing events go to tdiow tht it cannot be
finished yet; and Gnd forbid that it should
be! How many ftir hands have buckled
the armor on the one that I er heart held
most dear, ar.d bade him go forth to battle
and assist in subduing the great rebellion
or fall upon the altar ol liberty, erected in
776 ? Again we say God help the patriotic
ladies of A rreri'a !
I im glad to hear that the Commission
ers of your county contrary H report
have done nobly.
I expect by the time 1 write again to be
able to uive jou news of interest, and from
a different locality. 1 sti'.l remain ynur, fcc.
