THE PbELING IN MA ctaESrTEn.
From the Manchester Examiner,
May 28.
* s w w A survey of the-ie
difficulties will enable us to undehr
stand the consideration which G.ti
Lee must take into account in deter
mining the tactics of the campaign.
A retreat to Richmond would simnpti
fy the situation, and seem to afford
him so many advantages-if that is
the word to use where everything
looks disadvantageous-that we shall
not be surprised to hear of hismarcth
ing thither at once. He is menaced
with an avalanche of disaster, and if
be should avert it from crushing him,
it will be next to a miracls of energy
and skill. In coolness, in fertility
of resources, in promptness of dhecis
sion, and, above all, in untliiichiiig
resolutiou, Grant has inlneas.railsy
distenced his predecessors. Thn
Federal soldiers have ioughlt as they
never fought before on the soil of
Virginia, than which, perhaps,no tri
bate to their prowess could be highb
or. It is simple truth to say that thel
0tf'7federates have aslonished the
merId b6 their heroism. It has i een
a revelation of Southern charactet
which their antecedents led but few
to attfsipate, sad which, even from
those who most severely condemn
-teesnse for which they have taken
-' p *mW, must command all the res
