I have spent two weeks in learning your whereabouts, your condi tion and your wants, in preparing you for ac tive operations, and in placing you in posi ions from which you can act promptly and `to the purpose. These labors are nearly completed, and I am about to join you in the field. Let us undprstani each other. I have come filo_ seen the backs of our enemies—from in'army, whose business it has been to seek the ad versary, and to beat him when he was found —whose policy has been attack and not de fence. In but one case has the enemy. been able to ►lace our Western armies in a defen sive attitude. I presume that I have been called here to pursue them, and to lead you against the enemy. It is my purpose to do so, and that speedily. I am sure you long for an oppor tunity to win the distinction you aro capable of achieving; that opportunity I shall en deavor to give you. In the meantime 1 desire you to dismiss from your minds certain phrases, which I am sorry to find much in vogue amongSt you. I hear constantly of taking strong positions, and holding them, of lines of retreat, and of bases of supplies. Let us discard such ideas. 1e strongest position a soldier - should desire to occupy, is one from which he can most easily advance' against the enemy. Let' us study the probable lines of retreat of our opponents, and leave our own to take care of themselves. Let us look before us and not behind. Success and glory are in the ad vance. Disaster and shame lurk in the rear. Let us act on this understanding, and it is' safe . to predict. that your banners shall be inscribed with many a glorious deed, and that your namerrwill be dear to your country men forever. JOHN POPE, 3fajcii Genera! Commanding, Letter From "Occasional." • WASHINGTON, July 15 : 1862. The President's request that the two Houses of Congress s! all not adjourn until anti, has been taken on his suggestions fiir the protection of the slave property of, the loyal men of the Border States, which re quest has been complied with, proves that when be proclaimed his desire to aid these States in the work of gradual emancipation, he did nit make a politician's promise. One of the most persistent charges against the President's policy is the assertion that he never intended to go beyond a mere recom mendation, and that, after the work of' eman cipation had boon commenced, Congress would refuse to make compensation. Such a misrepresentation has done much harm in Delaware, Maryland, and other States. It is to be hoped that the friends of the President will bear these things in memory when they comet to am upon the measure he lies pre sented to them. Mr. Lincoln has taken a grave responsibility, and Congres should not allow bun to bear it alone.- - Their former emphatic sanction of his remedy should be , d_by_liber-44ippropriation-to-p • trial. This will have the effect of giving new strenght to the people of' the Broder States, and may hasten the close of' the war. The late raids into • Kentucky and Ten nessee, unexpected as they are, are new ad monitions to the people ePtlie other adher in., slave States,....that4'ere is only one way to be. saved from the horrors of the rebellion —viz: to stand by the Executive and to aid. in a vigorous and determined "campaign against the traitors. Any other course is simply tolielp the traitors and to hamper and fetter the President. Indeed, however it may be excused, the half-hearted advocates of the Union are imperceptibly:but irresisti bly floating into the rebel ranks. And if' they intend, to hod in these ranks, they need on l y keep doing what they are now doing. The rebels are longing to possesiv-themselvs of Kentucky, Marylaud, Missouri, Tennessee, Unci and it sometimes seems to me as if the noted in concert with such conditional Unionists as ca)p at and oppose Mr. Lincoln's efforts for them own and the general relief. But it cannot be that the people of' the Bor der' Commonwealths really desire to drink of the bitter :'eup that' has been put to the lips of `their fellow-men . in the cotton region.
