There l. no longer any doubt that the Fede-
RAJ army has suffered a dei,as at vicksburg.-
General sherman has sustained a terrible re-
verse there with deplorabe loss Of life to his
army. Whose fault this is. or whether it is the
fault Of any body, We are not able to determine
But We may ASK. where was General Grant with
the largest OF AL the armies in the South Wesi,
Why did be not cooperate with General Sher-
man in the reduction OF the only remaining
strong hold Of the rebels on the Mississ ppi -
What necessity was there for his remaining
quietly at Holly Springs when movement was
on foot in his immed ate neish5orhood. TIE
most important perhaps Of any that has taken
place in that quarter for a twelvemonth.
Why General Sherman should undertake the
reduction OF that strong bold without the assis
lance of the gunboats on the river. without
waiting for assistance from either Grant or Far
ragut. Is a question We are unable to answer
Perhaps be coveted the glory of doing il with
out any aid from others. If 50. dearly has the
country paid Tor the experiment from all ac-
counts. he has lost not less than two thousand
men in the undertaking. and has been Obliged
to abandon the seige altogether. From our Ia
test accounts. the entire force under his com
mand re-embarked on Saturday last. on the
transports, closely pursued to the boats by the
rebels, and had arrived at Island No. 81 on the
way to Napoleon.
Now all this It strikes us is altogether too
bad, and the Country cannot and will not stand
such folly and rashness any longer.
Unlike General Roescrans at Murfreesboro
who was obliged to fight or do worse. General
Sherman had bis own choice of time and man
ner OF attack. or whether he should attack at
all De might have waited, and should have
waited until sure of success
We regret at all times to record disasters TO
our armes, but We lose patience when from the
ignt We have, II appears that those disasters
were brought about by FOLLY or temerity, on the
part Of commanding officers.

The Legislature

Since the assembling Of the Legislature, we
have occasionally looked 10 upon their deliber-
atoms when in cession, and have looked over
both branches OF that body pretty carefully
We have also observed somewhat Of the habits
and manners of the members when not on duty
at the Capitol. and we venture to say that the
legislature OF the State of Michigan now in ses-
sion in this city, is composed Of as fine and in
telligent looking men as can be- found in any
similar body in any State in the Tn on
