After you left I ascertained that less

to be lefeloi the defence' cr Washington

accounted for ?
As to General Tool's command, I nu.
derstand it is doing far you precisely What
a like number ofyour own 'would hOre to
do, if that command was away. Isup
pose. the whole force which is gone-for;
word to you is with you by this time •
and, if so,
,I think it is the precise time
for vote te strike a blow. By delay the
enemy will readily gain no you = that is,
he will gain faster by, fortifications i and
reinforcements than you can by reinforce-
Meats alone. ' * •
And once more, let me tell you, it is
indispensable to you that you strike a
blow ? lam powerless to help this. You
will do me the justice to remember, •I al-
Ways wished not going down the bay in
search of a field, instead of fighting at or
near Manassas, as only
_shifting and not
surmounting a difficulty; that we should
find the saute enemy and the, same or
equal entrenchments at either placer The
country, will not fail to note—is noting
now—that the preSeut hesitation tounove
upon an entrenched enemy is but thesto
ry of Manassas repeated.
I beg to assure you that I have never
written or spoken to you in greater kind

purpose to sustain you, so far as in 'my

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
IVASIIINGTON, Feb. 3,1883
ffajor General lleelellan,
jig DEAR SIR: Yuu and I have dis
tinct and different plans for a movement of
the Army of the -Pototnac—yours to be
down the Chesapeake, up the Rappahan
nock. to:Curbana, and across land to the
terminus ( of the Railroad on York river•
mine to Move directly to a point on the
railroad southwest of Manassas. If you
sill give mo sat.isfactory answers to .the
following questions I shall gladly
. yield
toy, plan to yours : •
1. • Does not your plan involve a great
ly larger expenditure of time and moitey
than Mine
2. Wherein is a victory more certain
by your plan than mine?
. :Wherein is a victory more valua
ble b' your plan than wine?
4. In fact, would it not be less valaa
ble in this, that it would break no great
line of the enemy's conauuuication, while
wine would ?
5. In case of disaster, would not a
safe retreat bo wore difficult by your plait
Oran by mine?
Yours truly, A. LINCOLN...it

It also appears by tire published docu
ments that Geo. Banks' movements on
the Shenandoah, which' ended in the re
treat of that able officer, were made at
the express direction of General McClel
lan.,
The defamation of the Vallandigham
politieltvis against the administration are
now beginning to react on that nest of
rebel sympathizers, and we have no doubt
when the people will realize the rascality
of these tories, they will shun them as an
old whig of the revolution would have,
aimed a British tory of that day; and
as the truths ,of history come to light,
justice will yet be done to our patriotic
President lied his efforts to put down this
foul rebellion.
THE IMPORTANCE Or ONE MILE.---By
constructing a canal about three fourths
of a mile in length, from Big StoneiLake
to Lake Traver, steamboats from St. Paul
could navigate both the Minnesota River
and the. Red River of the North, to Lake
Wiunepeg, a distance of seven hwndred
miles ! The country traversed by these
rivers is surpassingly fertile, and capable
cif sustaining .a dense population. Lake
Winnipeg is larger than Lake Ontario,
(Ind receives the, Sus-katch-a-wau River
from tho west. The Sas-katehja wan
River is.navaaabl i e to a point (Edmonton
Ilouse)near the Rocky inountaisevtla
hundred wiles west of Lake Winnipeg,
and only one hundredland fifty wiles Lao,
of the celebrated. , gold-diggi,pgs on Era-,
ver River, in Briiish Columbia.
The digging of that 'one mile of canal
would therefore, i enable a steamboat at
New Orleans to pass into Lake Winne
peg, and froui thence to Ilihnouten House;
Borne- five thousand-tiles I A bill has
been .introduced into the Senate, which
ujakei - provision for the canal.
Probably in the worfd.thcro' cannot be
found a spot across which the digging of
so short a canal would effect- ' a result- Bo'
piodigious. Add. what is almost eqUally

A_Story fo
. ,
"I wish father 'would leCtne play sheet
the saw mill aid tail 'on, the pond," said
Julius White to his mother, in a coin-
plaining tone, as . his. father had refused
him pertaissiou to sail on the mill pond.
"Your father knows what is best for
you," sa'd Mrs. White.
I l e
"I hav board!. that said t a great mM3y
times, but I don't see why I can't do as
I wish to sometimes: John Marsh's fathj
er likes t. see his 'Children enjoying them
selves." i• -
' 44 .11y s> n, you need 'say nothing more:
to me: n til you are in a more/ atuiablO
state of. 'ind."
Julius felt the reproof, and began tore
view what he harf*d. Be saw that he'
bad in reality, thoUgh.noi in words, Charg
ed his mother with saying. What was not
trtie, and Lis father, vrith being indifferent
to his haPi iness.'.ltlis reply to his moth
er's asSet4ion tl4t 'his father knew what
was best fug him,;jiuplied a want of belief
in list assertion:`' In his remark that
John Marsh's father liked to sea his chil
dren:enjoy tberusetves, he implied that
his own hither did not like th i p same. Lie
somothat ashamed of what he had
I done, but did not go to his: Mother and
confess hie fahlt and ask hei forgiveness'-.
I, Had he dpue so he would have added to
her happiness - :and to his own.
:A. feW days afterwards Julius saw 'a
nuruberof boys playing at the saw will.
He wished to juiu them- very much; bat
he bad never been allowed! to go there
without:the permission of his father—or
father, he had never been allowed to gh
there except in company with his father
or. his older brother.: Eel felt sorely
tempted te.go without per Mission.
said to hidiself, "I?ather is not at hoiare;
can't ask leave to so; if I go, I don't go
in disobedience to his.erders!' But this
reasoning 'did not quite Satisfy Lim H . ,!
True, his father had not said !in no Many',
words, "You tans.t -never go without my
pertuission l ;" . buthe well kneW that it wag
not his father's wish that he should - go;
and be well knew' that if hiS father was;
at hotim he would not-permitilim to go.I
He tried to invent some e,icuse by which:
be :might justify his joloiug the boys,!
whose joyous'shouts- increased his desires,
to join meth: he thought lie would go,
and beg hi. 4 mother, to -lei hint go for a
few moments ; but' he kneW
,that she
would not act in a manner :opposed to
the known'wishes and judgMent of her
husband:
.
He climbed upon the fencelso that he.
could have a fair view of the bhys in their
Sports. I This was unwise. Itlwas expos
ing himself to temptation. !He would,
have acted wisely if he had retired out of
sight - and hearing of the bole.!
After a while the boys couStruoted
raft, and pnshed out upon! the pond. Ju
lius got dub from the fence. It seamed
as though his legs would take him to the
pond whether he would or not. !'The sight
of his mother at the windew led Lint to
resume his Positiuti on the fence. -
He
•
watched the.. boys uniil they had
sailed to the upper end 'of 'the pond,
where they lauded for some purpose. A
new thought occitired. ! His father bad ,
never forbidden hinc . from going' to the I
upper end of. the .pead. fie'knew be
must net go , to the saw mill; but there
was no reason why . be might oat go to the
upper end of the pond. Therecould not
po:•sibly.le any harm in that. .',So he set
out at the top of his! speed. When he
reached theta ha was almost exhausted by,
his violent exertion. ! • ! I
"Como ttp havoa,sail down tho'pond?"
said one. -
.
"No; It cams to so you sail."
"You have just c me in time ; we wont
ono more to tytiland the raft add bold it
together."
.'
I After some' objection .on Julius' part,
he got on the raft hodisailed down to the
mill. Ho persuaded himself that it was
a work of necdssity,'andthough it brought
him to the mill, he.wns not to blame:—
' he was there he mighttsiwell play
with the boys, • ,
The mill was not ia operation. To
prevent the water, fro - 4i flowing, over . the
dam, the sluiee.gate bpd been raised u
little. This kept the pond froinjilline.:
"I say, boys," said ',one, "let t u. 4 shut
down this gate and. have the pond full."
. Some of the - boys Objected, but others
said that it.wouid do. no harm„thati one
said he knesvAbe Mill ownerwell, and'
Would bear allOe blame. . ••
They shut down the 'gate, and the via
ter beln to rise, but.se slowly as scarco
ly to be perceptible.
"Let us take a sail_up to the top of the
pond,". said one, "and by the time we re
turn the pond will be full.'"
They did ep. They reinajned at the
head of the pored for sothe time gathering
soinenuts they
.',found on a tree
there. . .
,When they come down to the dam, the
water was &wing over it. They directed
the rift to the point whence they setout.
The water .wee! running', over the,top log
of the dam olwhieh they were to.land,
and.walk on it to the bank. The water,
es 'said, was flowing ovur it; but not in
depth sufficient to: carry the Taft over.—
Juliutstepped on the log he slipped
and fell over the dam into 2 deep pool un
derneath it. The boys rushed on shore,
•and ran round-to the bottom ofthe dam
on the lower side, expecting to,fiud Juli
ns drowned ; but it .b 0 ,happened that as
.lierose to the surface, he Was Within roach
of a slab which floating in the pool, and
by means of it got on shore before the
boys get to the place. -
I,r went home pretty 'well convinced
that his father knew what was best -for
him, and that it was not a•want of inter
est in his son's happiness which led him
to refuse him permission to visit the sew
inill and pond unattended.
