1t did honor to the head and heart d
any loyal reader Of the TRIBUNE two
mornings since, if flush Of pa1n and in
dignation instinctiyely met the startling
news for which the public we're totally
11npreparcd, TINT the favoritc Commando,
OF the Army Of the Cumberland had fallen
not only upon unfarorable criticism, but
before fate which criticism was sum-
1noned to justify and explain. Time has
been when the loyal public has seen
1amentcd but inevitable senility bolstered
up by the jealous confidence of the people.
and incapacity held in place by their false
trust. Gen Scott was for months retained
1t the head Of our military affairs when
the great commander had long before
yielded to the attacks Of advancing age,
and the Chickahominy hero dotted Vir-
ginia with graveyards widely ere he
could be shaken out OF the public grasp.
Such loyalty to men hampered the cause
they were set to serve, tied the hands Of
The Government that months before it
dared to remove them, SAW the
necessity, but waited for the con-
Slction to grown on the public mind.
It is q slgn Of progress in this war,
q thorough confidence between Govern
ment and people, Of better stability in our
affairs, that shining star is suddenly
plucked from the military armament be-
cause the occasion demands it, in the yiew
Of the President, without waiting to
'ask the people or the army to be first con
Tinced Of the henecessity. And it is loyalty
to the cause to relieve the Government at
1s carly an hour as possible Of the charge
Of captiousncss or unfairness. Men view
the matter differently, now that formal
Indictment is made out against tue late
commander at Chattanooga. In this
aspect it is not gossip, nor heartless
canvass Of the fate Of an unfortunate mau,
to set forth the reasons that weighed to
produce this result. Our Washington dis
patch gives copious extracts from the East
e1n press, in thesame vein, aud to the same
effect as our own Of Wednesday morning.
There are grave reasons now fully set forth
as the basis Of the action Of President
Lincoln. Loyal men may mourn that
their idol has been broken, but the icon
oclasm was necessary if the hand that
struck the blow saw only weakness where
the country fondly imagined strength.
If there be mourning for Rosecrans let
it he first TINT the cause has lost the leader
he seemed to be, and let no loyal foot turn
aside from following the Government, to
pay devoirs at his shrine Keep close the
ranks Of loyalty. Ii Rosecrans is unjustly
assai1cd, his hour will come, meanwhile
the situation demands untarnishcd blades.
and Baya,ds without fear and without
1cproach.
