ent. 1t parades half dozen columns Of
the whimperings Of the village press over the

violent partisans and unfit leaders are made
to give way to honest and capable officers, will
avail nothing The public sentiment is in

CoLLAMER is man to do his duty, and Gen.

6tThe Cincinnati Enquirer is greatly
afflicted that Gen. TAYLOR should rely 50
confidently upon his Cabinet and the official
corps, which the laws have given him to as
sist him in the discharge Of the Executive
duties. Does not the Enquirer remember,
that it is peculiarly in the Old Heros dis
position to con6de in and rely upon his men
1t was that confidence in and reliance upon
his officers and men, in military affairs, that
gave him, as he has more than hundred
times justly remarked, all his glory. So it
will be in his administration Of the Govern
ment. When his official family is all com
plete, his victories will then just commence.
