We pimply rise to remark that it is perfectly apparent to us that the Stragetic (?) Board that assembles evening after even ing in front of the Messenger Gazette office is manifesting a growing dissatisfaction with the present conduct of the war, the delay of the administration and the Commanders of the Ameri can squadron. Now that Com modore Schley has wired the department that the Spanish flee t is in Santiago bay, and hps seen them with his own eyes, and Gen. Miles will open an aggressive campaign at once, we hope we may be pardoned for suggesting to the board that the people in charge of this Cuban business very likely know what they are doing. To quote ai old familiar phraze, "Let's stop rinding fault, and trust the Captain." While the Stragetic (?) Board has been criticising the Powers that be at Washington, the Messenger Gazette has not escaped and we are brought up with a kind of short turn for net mentioning the fact that ninety-five per cent of the military forces that will go to Cuba from North Carolina are Democrats, and that if the Populists or Repub licans had volunteered to any great extent the board has not heard of tfc, VJjile this io true perhaps, we hope we may be again allowed to remark, it only shows the patriotism of the Democrats, and the best thing the board can do is to still trust ... . i . . . - captain, OUR ARMY AND NAVY. siaieiueuL jicjraicu kj when the army of the Uni- 1 a - r. -Pnllir m-rrn n 5 y if 1111- Aisting authority, including . 1 for 75,000 volunteers, it .V isist of 278.500 men, videc , vi . w follows: di- VohHrmy , 02,000 j torrid trom &l!lies 'PlJ N ' 200,000 1 hree cavV . at i. .......

This has been accom plished in an almost incredibly short space of time. It shows that there is truth in the state ment, 4The best preparation for war is a long term of peace and prosperity." ! The armies that have been called out are small in compari son with the enormous forces we can furnish. As Lord Wolsely remarked, "The American people would, in the end, be victors in a war with any nation. " i Rao on the Bank. By Telerraph to The Messenger.
