THE 8IIIATI0M.
The President, in hit minimi messnge, mtiile
a by no menus boastful allusiun lu the progress
of our arms during Iho current year. Hut
when the document reached Kicliiuond, thn
nrucles of secession denied the correotness nf
his statements. The campaign was then far
from being nt end, and in truth it wns difficult
to film up Iho result nf tho year's labor, Tho
President only claimed that progress had been
made, and Ihnt the Union armies were rela
tively stronger nt the ditto of the message ami
the rebel armies wenkcr, lhail they were pre
viously. Allusion was also made to the grand
expedition nf General Sherman, as alturdinj;
evidenoeoflhisstulenf things ; butnnonofident
prediction w as inndu at tu tho success of tho
venture. Tho campaign was then in progress,
and it is not yet ended'; but its gloriuut tesiills
nre nu long r duuhlful. When the messnge)
reached Europe, we duuht not that the London
Times, uul other newspapers in. sympathy
with thu rebellion, made disparaging contrasts
between the results uf Ihe political and military
campaigns; nud Ihe very summing up uf the
hater by tho President, in his fourth nminnl
coiiiniiiuiculinii to Congress, was pointed to us
another nmi oonclusive proof that the rebellion
cnnld never be subdued. ti , .
At the dalelif tho" m'essiige Ilotid menaced
Nashville with immediate recapture, Tho
Union forces under Thomas hud fallen back
before thu rebels' nilvuncing columns. The
expedition of Sherman wns in progress, nnd al
though ull loytil mey had high hopes of its suo
cess, nn man could feel sine of it. Such wns
the siluatiun when Ihe President was culled,
upon, by the respnnsihililies uf his ufliue, in in
form Cuiigren of Iho slnlu of his cminlry.
Such was the sum nf very moderate suej:eses,
ncnording to tho President's own nulhurity,
which went out to Europe less than three
weeks ago.
How changer tho slulo of things in one short
nmon ! The entire rebel nrmy of the West
cut to pieces nud flying in nil directions hel'nro
the gnllutit Thoiuus; the grand expedition nf
Shorn an through the enemy's country, a dis
tance of llireo hundred miles, without abase
of supplies, oninpletely snucessful ; Snvnnnali
invested, Willi no hope of relief; tho whole
railroad system of Georgia, w liich nlune con
nected Ihe eastern with the western portion of
the "Confederacy." broken up. lu a wnrd.thu
actual power of the Richmond conspirators is
now limited to pnvts of the threo States e.f Vir

sissippi, Texas, and tho portii ns of Louisiana,
nnd Arkansas not yet in Ihe cnnti ol of Ihe Un
ion arms, nro iu n position to throw olf Iho iil
legiunco nf Davis, nnd his Congress. All this
rich fruit uf tho year's hilmr has ripened and
fallen into our hands within a fortnight: and
lieu the knowledge ot these great successes
renchos Europe, it cannot Tail to impress tho
minds uf friends nud fees tu the rebellion that
the last hope of "Confedernto Independence"
has lied. Humors uf recognilion and Interven
tion will die uw.iy ; Cunfederatu stocks will
full ; and Confederates, official and noii-uflieial
will receive Ibe cold shoulder from sympathiz

Contrasting thu present condition of the Con
federiito cause with that which it occupied
threii years ngn, will eiinblo every render to
estimuto for himself the prngrers which tho
government has made in suppressing the re
bullion. In December, ISIil. it will bo reincm
beied, the rebels besieged Washington. They
he!d nil of Tennessee to the Kentucky line.
They held the Mississippi from the month of
the Ohio to the Gulf, Willi the Stutei bordering
upiin that river. They held Norlolk. and tho
North and Somh Carolina coasts, and nearly
nil parts nf East Virginia. Tho government
win everywhere held at buy by the rebellious
hosts whose confidence' was high, nnd their ru
sources of men nud means' live-fold what they
are In day. ,
If we recur to the condition of the Union
forces nt that period, wo find them certainly
no grenter ig men nnd resources than they nro
at present; while in the skill mid experience of
ollicers. nud in the discipline of the rank and .
file, the armies uf ihe first year uf the war
bear no comparison wifli thoso iif the fourth.
lu view of these indlspntahlu facts, tho least
sanguine friend uf the Union can no lunger
lei'l n rational doubt of thu speedy rcslnrulmn
uf thu t ntiuual nuthurity over ever foot of its
lerrilury; while Iho most hopeful rebel will bo
plunged iulu despair.
Kktimatk uf Human Hkinuh. It is an iu
leri'sling thing lu see how habitually, in this
world, excellence in one respect is balanced by
inferiority in nnuther. How needful it it, if
you desire lu form a fuir judgment, lo Inkomeii
for better ur for worse. Thomietoeles, every
one knows, could not fiddle, but he could make
it ."th- oily a big one. Vet the people who
distinctly saw that he could not fiddle wre
many, while those who discerned his loinpe

hlteiy that many people des ised bun for his
bad fiddling, lulling tu remark that it was nut

(From the Loudon Newt.
Rm : Finding that all was quiet before Rich
mond, and that a civilian would bo in, nn dan
ger nud not much in the way, I ventured to
run uuwii to tno Army ol the James.
i ho nrmy appears to be in good oonditioa

dmit 1 the hospital accommodations are evi
l a oo eiippues, i ucneve,urjo auuu-
dently amnio and good. 1 do not speak from
my nwn observation, which, of ooufte, is very,
limited nnd precarious, but from innuirv. in
saying that prnbubly nn army iu history ever
was so well oared fur as this. And if tnoh ii
the case, it it surely a very ttrong proof lhat
tne war is not iieing wngou with meracnery ana
worthless lives. I tco Iho tamo care for the
dead as for the living. Tho graves in the line
nre decent ; mul many bodies, even of private
soldiers, are embalmed and lent home to their -friends.
Tho tnldiers aro now lodged in tog
huts built by themselves ; and their was a sort
of rivalry in the contrivance of some parts of
tnese nuts winch looked like tho work ot cheer
ful ns well ns skillful hands. Tho extent of
the fortified lines is imm. nso; nnd tho jorfcot
finish of the works stemi to betoken willing
labor, or nt least ready ohedienoe tn commaud.
Everywhere yon sua skill in tho use of the ait
and Hie spade, dexterity nnd inventiveness, tho
signs nf a rnlive American army.
Tho forlifioutioiis and tho hulling might teem
to indicate the campaign was at un end. Bat
the chesB-hoard is now .very contracted, and
the remaining move short, liichmnud it vis
ible from a signal station in thn linos.
Of course, 1 cannot pretend tn speak nf tha
military qualities of tho armv. It must suffer
frmn Hie continual rotirementuf veterans whose
term hits expired, nnd Iheir replacement by
raw levies, who aro umvuely formed Into regi-
ntsi iustend uf being incorporated with tne
old. The uligiiruhs of the Confederacy, as
vim know, keep their veterans in tho field by a
very simple expedient. Having induced men
to enlist fur a yenr. they voted thcro in for
three, und then till the end of the wnr a vjo-
latum of public faith lo which it would he diffi
cult to find n parallel. As a nntnral oonte
quence, however, Ihey suffer from desertion in
spile uf Ihe must vigilant ellorts tu prevent it.
i ueir iiiosi i nisi wormy troops, n i nin nut mis

Tho armies uf tho Polomao and James da
not live on Ihe country. They nro supplied
from their water base. Hence, perhaps, it it
lh.it the district occupied by Ihcin, though yon
see ninny signs uf conflict, you see no ravages.
Hut iu truth Iho country, to far as 1 saw in two
days ride, ur from tho top of a signal station
commanding a wide view, bids itcfianco to tha
ruviiger. Though cloro to the capital of Vir
ginia, it is, with tho exception of a parish hero
and these, a wilderness. Part of it is a re
lapsed wilderness, for 1 taw the traces of form
er cultivation covered by trees of nbout twenty
years' growth. Tho soil is evidently good and
Ihe laud will he fruitful when it is tilled by free
hands and npeneil to- emigration. Perhaps
these armies may be conquering fiom slavery
a linuic for the surplus papulation of England.
Tho foot lhat tho scene ul this war is a vast
and nhnnst pathless forest (tho good roads
nbout the lines being tho work of the armies),
evidently mukes ordinary military criticisms in--nppliunplo.
It is difficult to imagine bow a lino
of battle oan advance, bow it can 'bo formed,
or how artillery can bo brought to bear iu a
battle. A charge uf cavalry it out or the
question ; and this makes the cavalry Ineffect
ive, and the battle indecisive. Keoounoilcrinj
must also be extremely difficult.
Tho two lines of pickets wore lying date to
each olher in front of tliek respeolivu jntrenoh
nieiits, without auy wanton firing. Men who
thus observe, Ihe courtesies and humanities of
wnr may surely, when the war is nver, lire in
good fellowship with each other. There seem
ed to be iu this republican army all due milita
ry subordination and enongh of etiquette. At
tho sumo l i mo there it a ourttiiu republican
equably uf furo. The abodo of General Grant
at City Point is a hut of one loom, containing
a camp bed, a chest marked with tho initials
of tlie uwner, a table and two or three chain.
All Americans aro hospitable In strangers, and
the officers uf thu Army uf the James were
most hospitable to nio. Perhaps their hospitality
prejudiced mo in their favor ; but thoy appear
ed to me. in manners and cultivation, the
equals, at least, nf any soldiers whom I hare
ever seen. 1 rode for son'o hours in company
w it h olio uf lliem who had entered the army at
a private, and I think I never met a more per
fect gentleman in my life.
I saw, with tho greatest Interest, the negro
I mops eiiciiiuped close tu the scene of one of
their gallant exploits the storming of the iu
treiichiiieut nu New Murket Ilight. There
can be nn doubt, I think, Unit these men nre
now Ihe acknowledged mi l respected brethren
in arms of Ihe while. This, to give the Uenst
ns will ns the Devil bis due. is tho wink of
Geiietal liutlcr. That man's indomitable en-,
ergy and iron will (qualities written nn hit face
more plainly that on any other fncu I ever be
held, unless it be tho portraits uf Cromwell)
hit. crushed nil the obstacles Hint stood in the
w ay of this gJrnt moral and social revolution.

culm Judgment nf history in an hour of passion
by discussing the controverted parti of Ilia ca- -reer.
Tu me he seems lu be in all points.good
and evil, the model of a revolutionary chief.
He was iho first limronghly tu grasp Ihe idea
of the reviiluliun fulilled by tlie virtual deitroo-
t iitts of slavery ; he is Iho first, as yoo tco br
Ins .New York speecli, lo announce, in broad
terms, a policy of amnesty and oblivion. Like
Dantoii, he has "wnlked straight un his'wild
wny," fearless ef danger and somewhat reck
less nf opinion. I do nut. worship revolutionary
characters. I halo tho element from which .
they spring, at I love the calm nrogrets of reg
