II we could place any reliance upon the statements
in the newspapers, Of them seem to understand
the plan of the campaign well the Secretary of
War himself They would appear to know every
move which is to be made on the chess-board. An
article is now going the rounds Of the newspapers
which Processes to give the designs of the cabinet,
more decidedly even than what they may have
marked down for themselves:


at now appears" according to this oracle) "that
General Wool is to join General Taylor at Sal
tiilo, moving by way Of Coahua, and leaving a
garrison there; and that General Kearny is march
to the same point by way Of Chihuahua fear
fully long march, General Patterson, with large
force is to be transported to Tampico, and means
of transportation have already been prepared. His
force will, if found necessary, be ordered to unite
with Taylor's at San Luis Potos and, If not, may
be employed in a contemplated attack on Vera
Cruz. If this is the plan it is a sensible one; and
it will prevent the danger, but too apparent, Of the
utter sacrifice Of Taylor's command. After allow
ing for all the troops left at Tampico Salo, Mon
terey, Chihuahua, Santa Fe, &C., General Taylor
will thus be enabled to meet Santa Anna at San
Luis with force of seventeen thousand men,"


We agree with the "New York True Sun" that
cit may be very well, of course, to exercise some
reserve as to operations directed against enemy,
and the difficulty, to this government, has gener-
ally been its want of discretion in this respect"


The philadelphia Sentinel" also says, with some
force that Sin olden tunes, the movements Of our
army or navy were kept with great caution from
the knowledge of the enemy But of late, this sys-
tenn seems to be wholly repudiated. Every step
of aggression or anticipated assault upon the enc
my is hourly proclaimed by the public journals OF
the day. We make no move whatever that we do
not forthwith announce to Santa Anna and his
friends We think this policy very indiscreet In
matters connected with our army and navy move
ments, there should be as much secrecy possible
maintained" These judcious remarks would be
still more forcibe if the "pubc journals of the
day" were able to state "every step Of aggression


or fthey really had it in their power to 'announce
to Santa Anna and his friends" every move that is
about to be made .... ~.
