Gen. Bragg.

Numerous complaints nave been uttered a
gainst Gen. Bragg of late by many Of our pa
triotic, but impatient people fearing that his
Kentucky cam paign failure, and we must q
confess to having telt good deal of nneasi' i
ness about it ourselves. 1t was urged that the
policy of passing Nashville with the Federal
troops in it, aud leaving them there; Of allow
ing Buell. to withdraw his forces and go TO
Louisville unmoIested, of retiring from be-
fore Louisville and falling back into Kentucky
leaving the ground he had occupied: and vas
rious other points in which many persons were
able to find fault, and discovered lack OF Gen
eraship, were evidences of failure and OF his
not being equal to the work assigned him..zfs ss5
All these compiainers and every body whose
fears were thus exercised are now very hope
full. It looks very much like Bragg was in
tending from the first to get Buell. out OF Nash
vile without fighting him there. This he suc'
cesstully accomplished by threatening Louis.
WILLIE. 1t looks ther very much like he wanted
to draw the Yankees out OF Louisville before
fighting them, and he accomplished this by
falling back Ii was probably designed also TO
unite with Kirby Smith Sand Humphrey Mar.
hall forces before giving battle. SO as to
make victory certain. All this looks very
much like sagacity and strategy equal to any
bod, g. Our uneasiness is, gone. Every bodys
comp plants are hushed. We all admire the
great ability and Geperalship displayed by the
invinc,bIe Bragg. We all conceed him to be
a great General, and that nobody could have
done any better. ..s @sss, es 9

Agency for our Troops I'm EsachmOnd.


We learn that Surgeon General Warren has
appointed DIR. O. F. Manson, of Granville, Ger
eral Medical Agent in Richmond, to attend to
the wants Of our soldiers. A better appoint
nent could not have been made. The distln~
guished services of DR.. Manson as a hospital
and army Surgeon. his known ability nshls pro-
fessien, and bis high character as a gentleman,
richly entitle him, to the confidence OF our peo-
pie. DIR. Manson has made the anplest ar
raneements for our sick and wounded soldiers
Amoulances will be at the depots for the pur
pose of conveying themto the hospital; and 10
addition to this, Dr. M. will aid all OF our SOL
diers in obtaining furlouehs, passes, their pay,
and discharge when they seem to be justly enti-
tied to them. aes+ ss~~
! Our excellent Surgeon General, DIR. Warren,
has been and is now interchangeable in his efforts
to relieve our sick and wounded soldiers. 1t
was assumed by some Of the opponents OF Gov
Vance that the office Of Surgeon General was
not necessary, and ought to be a abolished. The
best evidence that this assumption IS erroneous
is found in the fact that DIR. Warren has al
ready visited and relieved hundreds innthe hos
pitfalls in Virginia, who would otherwise have
suffered greatly. aa5 = isae1a5~ rs alIt@ >t &

We 1Cuaa7aot Lice Together.

Archbishop Hughes, in speech. which he made
to the Irish Bishops, declared that the unity
of the States was the vital object o: the present
struggle, unity under the present Government
or, if that could not be accomplished, unity unc :
der the Southern Government was preferaole.
This was his declaration though we have NOT
his speech before US, aud the same idea mas
been expressed by several other Northern men.
, There are those who put no faith IN snese
avowals; but we are inclined to 4 thlLk nc that tney
are sincere. and that rather than give mp the
aben efits of the Union, the Nor tn would be VII
ling TO be whipped and unite again upon such
A. sConstitutior as the South would prescribe.

prehensons of the possibility OF such result
and justly concludes thatif the South was not

and that the best thing they do will be to

These views may or may not derive imPor-

the same paper that brings them to Us brings
also letter from the Paris correspondent or
the London Post, who states, quite positively,
that Messrs Mason and Siidell see no hope
of success in their Mission in any reasonable

Gen. Butler is devoid OF common sense-its
substitution of the question Of supporting these
contrabands for that of using then-its telling
tho fugitive slaves that "If they want to be
free, let them go and work for living" when
that is just what they ask permission TO do,
but cannot have unless under Gen. Buffers
express protection, in default of which they
will be seized aud sent back to the plantations
of their Rebel masters-its talk OF postpOning
all questions as to " the negro" until 4" the in
aurgent armies are whipped" when the previous
question is How are We to whip them ? FIVE

There can be but one COmmanderin-ChIe
Of the Army of the United States, and he the
President chosen by the People. So says the
Constitution; 20 say we all. And we most
heartily supported the passage OF, and still
approve, the act of Congress whereby the
President was expressly empowered to assign
important commands as he may think beat,
regardless of rank or seniority. We presume
he could have lawfully done this if no such
pct had been passed. but it is well to put the
matter beyond dispute. We had no personal
end. no individual case in view, when We sup
ported the passage of the act; no personal
consideration can impel us to change our posi-
ton. We always knew that the President Is

assigning commands; but he ought not to DO
