Sion, are better acquainted with the
science of fighting than those are who
have never studied the "Manual OF
Arms" These men would think it
presumption: and impertinence in a
doctor to claim he knows as much law
as man distinguished for legal learn
ing, or in a lawyer to pretend to do the
work of physician, and yet they can
dictate to military men who have fought
and won battles, the course they should
pursue, ccnsule them severely for not
having accomplished certain ends, and
criticise and condemn the plans they
followed, without being a. all conscious
Of the presumption and folly.
1t is gratifying to know that this
form of conceit and arrogance has met
with no encouragement, and it is be-
cause it has been so generally frowned
down upon by the community, that it
has not been carried on to an extent
that would have redounded greatly to
the injury of our noble cause

We would by all means urge these
papers to continue to give the com
manders of their armies the benefit of
their knowledge, foresight and vigi-
hnce. They have shown eminent quail.
iications for the work, and being so
rirhly endowed with abilities for that
dspartment of labor, they would be
recreant to their high duties did they
cease to advise, censure, exhort and
denounce the leaders of their numer-
ons hosts. We admire equally the ex.
traOrdinary genius and attainments of
these military critics, and their frank.
ness, boldnoss and earnestness. IF they
believe that o movement should be
made, they do not hesitate to say 30,
and they insist upon it with increasing
fervor day by day, until 1T is made
necessary to comply with the demand.
Welding ready pens, and thoroughly
acquainted with the geography of the
country and the number and condition
d the troops, they give plausible
seasons for the movement they recon-
mend, so that they have seldom failed
70 accomplish their object.
Weare real ly grateful to these papers
tor the immense service they have done
our cause, by their suggestions and
criticisms. We are sure that VIC are
largely indebted to them for many of
our most brilliant victories.
But while we have derived much ben
etit from the military knowledge of the
Yankee journals, we object seri usly to
our own newspapers initiating their
example. 1t is our opinion that the
Generals who command our armies are
better qualified to conduct campaigns
and fight battles than men, who, though
skilled in the use of the pen, and pos
sessing large stores Of various informa-
ton, are not capable Of drilling a squad.
1t is reasonable to suppose that our
