"And a-bati" I hate often ..conjectored what they meant by the "Imt"—"Bve months and a —but;" ;'/oiir months and a^but;" "three months and a—bnt;" .and now "two months'and a—bat." Of course yoa would say the balance of the current month, and I tnooghtso, tbo, until i fgond It had another meaning; when I heud It on the battle Held. There It meant "three months and home and happiness once more—BDT I" - ' ■IBB Bitt uiD Fuin or >oox jum oaxo in aolke.' The.areat event with which the womb of time was yeaiolog even when I last wrote, has occarred, as yon are already advised; but (alack the day. In whloh empiricism, qoaokery, obtained In onr military alblis,) the resolt was on abortion. Of course, an humble tndlTldaal, like mystll^ whose scope of InteUect only compasses the manual of a muaket, who has not even a tolerable conception of the suhllmily ct genlas massed In the pretensions of a Second Lieutenancy, would ont s sorry figure mtlolsing— prodding, ss It were, with my bayonet—the angust "strategy" ofthe "general In command." IbeekmZion of the lowest grade ofrank m this service li each that a private must needs be Im- mensely "high" to approach It at all—a contingency btal to me, for Uononganela rates at fibalcus prices, and there Is no lumber In the army of the Potomao to masuttetnre boffins, mach less stilto to walk In such dignified company. But still there are facta visible and tuts tangible to even the opaque faonltles of a oommon soldier, and allhongh he dare not qaestloh the. ots-tute authorities who out-Napoleon Napoleon himself In their dreams in regard to the conduct of Ihia war, thea "tacts," penetrating as Jan- oaiy raina-toagh and stnbbom la January mud—oast a lialoalons reflection upon thou fiotions, I do not know who the brllllantau- thor of an active winter campaign Is, but I know who he la not He Is not a iddier, and there, friend Olipfxb, permit me to say, t^ere Is the mb—there Is where Brother Jonathan wlU always find a sore place In retrospeotlon. He has allowed the dictates of newspaper managen, ot polltiolans, to sway his Judgment; he has allowed the whole allUr to become a vast penslcn system, by which a varied'horde ofpubUoybeggars are billeted, upon the National Treasury, upon this Indnatiy of the untortunate "Shil- llon." If nobody else will oat with It—out with the aectStof .the "demoralization ot the troops," so much prated about—out with the secret of our Ignomihlbus failures, a nightmare press- ing the heart oat of onr people—I wHL And if "Spherical Case" should thus prove unpopular, a broadside or so of grape or canister, or a aheU or two, may be in requisition. THE B3BT0BT, Enongh—let us to bistoiy,' The IndicailonB of a move, vividly distlnotat my lost date, had a finale a taw hours bterlnagen- eral order, and the whole ot Hooker's Orond Division prepared to march. This general order was changed ITam day to day, postponing the movement, nsUl 11 o'clock on the morning ot the list, when the aqnalid winter arrangements of the troope ware bade adlen, and the line formed preliminuy to the "ronte." To inspire us, a printed order from Oeneral Bumslde was read, avowing ihe intention of attaching the enemy, inaamuch ss because of diversions to North Carolina and ^Tennesee, it was presumed he hod been weakened, and "now," sold onr tb be Immortal general, "now la the aaaplolous moment, under Provi- dence, to etrlke a death blow to this rebellion." The "little Corporal" has Iheoredltof the madm, "Providence Is always on the side of the heaviest artillery," end Oeneral Bamslde Is undeniablya'"blg gun" with—some people. But Just in; this Instance the Power which was so complacently quoted, did not endorse, a dellniaency which perhaps will cause some peonle to be highly displeased with "I'rOTldence."
