Tne Importance oF THe Hovr.—It
must be'apparent to every one, that we have
. arrived at an important period in the great
National struggle in which we. are engaged.
We have already recovered a large aren of
territory, once darkened by the rebel fing,
and have vanquished the pirates. ov the bigh
sea. We have established the integrity of
the government at home, and shown to
foreign nations our strength in war, as well
as our growth in prosperity, and opulence in
peace. @ improvements in agricultural
and the mechanical arta, have been as great
and as numerous, during the four yoara of
bloody war, as those of any other equal period
of time sinve the nation’s birth. Though we
have not beén materially impaired in any vf
the great branches of industry, in commerce
orin-.-trade,. ner has. out courage been
dampened by the dark até gloomy days
through which we have. been called to panes,
yet, we cannot but feel that the present is
av all. important moment in the great conflict.
The news of Sheridan's great victory in
eS
the Shenandoah, and of Sherman's conquest .
at Atlanta, seem to be the natural promises
of the victory awaiting Grant at Richmond.
Great struggles always end suddenly. With
in a few days we may hear of a victory which
will probably end this bluody war, that is,
aa far a6 battlesin the field are concerned.
At home, we have a work todo. The
atruggle commencing on tho Atlantic coast,
has reverberated across. the continent, and
we way be called upon to take partin puttag down treason here on the Pacific coast.
While we hope bloed will never stain our
gvlden soil, we shrink from eo duty, we aecept the exigency of the times, and will try .
and be equal to its dewands. Let ue feel the
importance of the day, and do all we can te
atrengthen confidence in the Government,
and to retain him io power, who hae wieely
and judiciously administered the affhire of
the nation, during a period unexampled in
the biatery of the world.
THe WeEATHER.—Fur the past few days
the atmosphere bas presented a smoky, murky appearanoe. The sun rises with a blood
red cust upon his ‘‘phiz,” and is half hidden
iby the dense vapor and fog now prevailing,
while the air ia hot and oppressive. The
moon, too, appeats very coy about exposing
her beautiful face to our gaze, aod so wears’
a vejl of the ume material as her liege lord.
What this kind of weather indicates posaibly some of our renders can ‘tell, to ua it
appears aa “clear ae mud.’

who féils to do when he is fer ea
time for doing hascome, is guilty of acting
inthe worst faith and is without an excuse. .
After the ill-fated battle of Ball's Bluff, a
very. geceral dissatisfaction was felt that
. McClellan should allow the rebels to blocks
ade the Potomac, thus holding the river
avenue to the capital in that direchon. M°
Clella#, who never did anything without beTing pressed, promised thaton” specific day
he would send down four thousand troops.
The day arrived and the General excused
himeelf for not fulfiting-hw-promise by say‘. img that “his engineers bad inforwed him
that so large a body of troops could nut be
landed.” The Secretary of the Navy repled that ‘the landing of thé troops was a
a mutter ef which that Department assumed
the resporsibility.” The next night was
then assigned by McClellan as the time when
the troops should go down, and failing. to
keep his promise io this ae in the first in
stance, he gave as a reason “the fear that
such an attempt wight bring on a general
engigement”—a feat utterly groundless.
Time rolled on, for the Grave Digger
eould not retard the flow of days and months,
though we have nv doubt he would have
done so bad it been in his power, and Little Mac was xppuinted to the command ot
the armies of the nation. A splendid season
for military operations passed by without
doing anything, sud the people were uneasy
and the Administration dissatisfied, On the
Sist of Jan. 1862, just three inonths after
McClellan succeeded Gen. Scott, President
Lincoln. issued the following order :
EXecuTive MANSION,
Washington, Jauuary 31, 1862,
Ordered, That ail the dispusabie torce of
the Army of the Potomac, alter providing
safely for the defense of Washington,” be
formed into an expedition for the immediate
ubject of seizing and occupying « puint upon
the railroud southweatwerd of what is known
as Manassng Junction, all details to be in
the discretion of the Commandersin-Chief,
and the expedition te move before or on
the twenty-second day of February next. _
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
The Young Napoleon, slow as ever, remonatrated, and the President wrote the
following ¢
: Executive Mansion,
_ Washington, February 3, 1863.
My Dear Sir?—You and 1 have distinct
and different plans for a movement of the
Army of the Potomac; yours to be done by
the Chesapeko, up the Rappahannuck to
Urbana, and across land tu the terwinus of
the railroud en the York river; mue to
move directly to a péist on the ruilroad
southweet of Manassus.
If you will give satisfactory anawers to
the following questions, I shail gladly yield
ny plan to yours?
Ist. Does uot. your plan involve a greatly
larger expenditure of time and money than
mine?
Ud. Wherein isa victory more certain by
your plan than mine t

ABKAHAM LINCOLN.
Major-General McClellan.
McClellan still restated and for a long time
failed te move, either in accordance with his
owe plan of that of Mr. Lincoln, and when
at length he started it was (let it be noted
by every one) efter the enemy had withdrawn,
and for the purpose oe he says in his report.
“to get rid of superflanus baggage and other impediments which accumulated go easily
around an ormy engamped for a long time in
one locality.” That day George B. McClellun ought to have been hung and thus saved
the country further trouble. Au‘temy well
organized, with vighteen months drill, mov.
Ing wot to fight, but “to get rid of superfluous
biggage! Who ever heard of such a thing
belure ? Prince de Joimville, at that time
4 worahiper of the Young Napoleon, and a
member of his staff, characterized the movement asa “promenade of the Army of the
Potomac.”
