PROPHETS OF EvIL.--The whig presses indulge
themselves in flights of fancy in regard to probable
disasters to our gallant army. This course is most
ungenerous-to say nothing ofthe cruelty Of height
enng and intensifying the natural anxiety Of all
those whose relatives and friends are thus doomed
to massacre and death. We beg our readers to bear
in mind that il is the "busness and mission Of the
opposition to thwart the administration in every
possible way, and predictions and prophecies of
misorunes cost Eothing more than the time to write
them down, and the expense Of printing them, they
are the easiest weapons of party warfare. Where
the past and present secure from their assaults,
the future affords them On ample field for the display
of all their wonderful powers Of vaticinaon. Sup
pose, as has hitherto happened, the result falsifes
their prophecies why then they say nothing Of their
disappointment: they do not lose caste with their
readers, for there was no credit given by the well
informed to their prediction But on the contrary
should any portion of our forces suffer check, or
reverse then their predictions, however venturous,
would have been verified and justified; and the
blame would have been laid, Of course, on the ad.
ministration. We cannot but think that such a
course is weak ungencrous, and cowardy, as it
is unpatriotic! "t 4,
The letter-writcrs from Washington are filing
their sheets with accounts Of the "ordered move
ments'' Of several divisions of the army. Ist ne
cessary to warn the public that not the slightest con-
fdence should be placed in these publications' The
government might well send special messenger
to the enemy with the plan Of our campaign for his
information and benefit, as TO let it be known in
Washington. 80 IT, y 10,
