The Ohio !State Journal has the following
criticiEm on the Belmont affair, which, # rath-
er severe On the Commanding Gsneral, is at
least comprehensive and original:
"The fighting Was valorous beyond all praise;
the management Was bad beyond all example.
The really competent commander must be
able, not only to plaD, but also to execute. It
may be added, that he must be able to both
plan snd execute, under some circumstances,
e1most simultaneously. The exigeacy Of oc-
cas:op must be met and provided for snfacien-
cy Of genius. This great and rare quality the
commanding officer at Belmont evidently had
rot
"sti1l 1t was not rout. Indeed We are at a
loss how to characterize the affair; it Was not
a succees, ror was it 1af1ure,-as the rebel
camp will fully attest ; it was not Victory,
nor defeat,-as the ESQ rebel prisoners viii
