Gut what w.ss really the cause of all this? What was it that scattered ihe in ils of our labor, aud struck so roanj- good sol- diers from the Quid ol successful duty, and pandi ii d ihe career of our victorious troops! Perhaps our War Secretary had been reading old campaigns, and his mind had ivcome cictled by tin- rapidity whieh oharaeleriied (he great soldiers 'of Europe at a time when war was in its normal condition. He had read about tho celerity- ot" i'eKrshomnga and carried in 's mind what an La^li-h minister said of hiin — That ho could never write lu him but nu always obliged lo wrile at hiin '' (laughlcr and loud n'p- Perhaps with these nnd other such oxamples he- ro hint, (ho Secretary thought thai we in ihe West •ro loo slow. We bad sullen.' J a post nearly 'JOO iles oil' to surrender for want of reenforcemenis. Or, perhaps, ho had lai.r events in his mind, and thought of the French Emperor's brilliant campaign Italy. He beheld that nplendidlv appointed lurcc, for which the great Dictator of Europe had drawn upon all iho resources of the- East, all ihat science could give bim in Iho earth or in (he air—railroads lo carry bis (roops into il.e ba'ih- field, railroads lo bring off his wounded, and hallo. mi (o carry his scouting; parlies (hroogh the air. The Secretary had all this in his mind and grew impatient wiih us. U« forgot how lew of there appliance- we hnd, and how poor iho West was in all llie re.-.-ly materials of war, except, Indeed, ia that oao indispensablu material, of bravo and loyal men, which she has no lavishly given to the service of Ihe country. Wo may pause hero to make the reflection that if wo had not these great appliance.-, lor rapid and brilliant suc- "sscs, we are snfe on the other hand Irotn tho biirnry use made of Ihem. Tho Italians were promised Freedom from (bo Alps tbo Adriatic, but i ho great army won fruilless battlefl, arid tho hopes of a brave people were delud- ,t wo " comprehend our epoch." In this country it is not possible that Iwo commanders of op- posing armies c.in meet together ai a breakfast table omproruise away the hopes and liberties nr a great people (cheers). But il was not that we had disappointed some high wrought expe-etationa of the Secretary. Il was not heeause wc had failed in a duty, or aufiered. at (he hands ol the enemy, is defeat, ihat wo incurred ministerial dis- pleasure. It mas because, in our un.altulsiing eager- ness, we wore tcohs-sly in striking bul enemy a vital blow. Like the Trojan, whose spear ngainsl tho Irenchcroas horse insde the clang of arms resound, the angry goddess ponished for the blow sacred properly, so, (oo, did wo undergo for devotion to our country udden punishment (loud cheers).
