The Same old Tune.

Fault finding with our Generals
as well as with the many courses
pursued by municipal officials III a.
lowing the enemy to take quiet pos
session Of tie different towns and
cities in our Confederacy, is more
prevalent now, so far as we are ena-
bled to judge, than it has ever been
since the commencement OF HOSTILE
ties. We may safely add that this
destructive feeling to any cause Is on
the increase. Why 2 Because the
dispatches do not convey fast enough
victory upon victory.
1t is a mistaken idea entertained
by some people, that if they do not
closely scrutinize the various moves
made, and censure the actors, things
are bound to 60 wrong. Is this NOR
ally right ? Do such persons not
know the ways Of man better I II
II,
study human nature, and in short
time they will be wiser, a'd probablv
better men. The more faults are
found the less may be expected
it is to be presumed that all which
is done by those placed in power, IS
in their opinion for the best, though
it may not prove so. and II We know
them to be honorable, let us not by
any means hurt their feelings, but on
the contrary, ii We cannot laud them,
let rs not say augEH against them
BY pursuing this course, our people
will. in the end, discover the superior
advantages Of. this policy.
If a man is really not fl to oecu-
py the position in which he has been
placed, let him be immediately ousted
and competent person succeed INN,

the United States, really meant.
Mr.. Grimes said that, according 10
his judgement, that would only apply
TO the commission OF am over act. 1t
