A few days back, we had occasion to
publish our estimate Of General HOOKER.
Of his characteristics, we found that of
self-conceit to be among the most promi-
nent; and, naturally enough, as its con-
comitants, the habit of an unjust depre-
citation OF others. His addiction to this
latter habit was fully shown by references
to his official reports, and by extracts from
his testimony before the Committee on
the Conduct of the War.
Now, the habit of fault finding, or of I'M
friendly criticism, grows with indulgence.
But, we have never known it to assume
the proportions, or to take the direction,
that it has in the case of General HOOKER.
He has freely criticised everybody else,
and so universally, that we have been Gu
rious to know where he would find his
next subject. This curiosity is gratifed in
his order to his army after his late unfor-
tunate campaign, wherein he assails him.
self as numerically as he had other gene
rails upon former occasions.
When General HOOKER was on the south
side Of the Rappahannock, he issued an
order to his army, from which the follow
ing is an extract:
1t is with heartfelt satisfaction that the gen.
eral commanding announces to the army that
the operations of the last three days have de-
termincd that our enemy must inglOrtOusly fy,
or come out from behind his detences and give
us battle on our own ground, achere certain de-
structiOn CUdtS him.
When Gen. HOOKER returned to the
north side of the Rappahannock, he issued
another order, from which we extract the
following:
In withdrawing from the right bank of the
Rappahannock, before delivering Il general
battle to our adversary, the army has given
renewed evidence of its confidence in ITSELF and
its fidelity to the principles it represents. In
.ttghhng ut q Disadvantage, IRE w0uld hace been
recreant to orr trust, to- Olselres, our otno
orr country
On one side of the river Gen. HOOKER
officially proclaims that he has got the rebels
where they "must ingloriously fly" or
meet "certain destruction" When he
crosses to the other bank, and takes re-
view of the campaign, he acknowledges
that it was unsafe to have risked ''a gen.
eral battle" with these same rebels, and
that he could not have fought them except
cat disadvantage, nor, consequently,
without "certain destruction" to himself,
and that, therefore, it was necessity that
he should "ingloriously fly" instead of the
enemy. Which Gen. HOOKER accordingly
did. And, in the opinion of most sensible
men, it was the soundest military act VI
his campaign.
But, isn't HOOKER in the one case I'M
necessarily severe, in his criticisms and
admissions, on HOOKER in the other
Couldn't he have got along just as well
without writing himself down an ass quite
so palpably?

of the Abolitionists, we will bestow our patron

of the Abolitionists, we will bestow our patron
age where we can be heard.
There is no doubt but that 30 or 40 and per-
haps more, subscribers will discontinue your
paper, without we can occasionally be heard,
when insulted politically:
. Respectfully yours, -
Now, all this, of course, is of no conse-
quence to the public. The SnoOkses, and
Simkinses, and all the other Fools, by
whatever name they may go, are continu-
ally writing this sort of stuff to the papers /;
and every editor knows that they comprise
large percentage of the population. We
don't refer to the case in hand, therefore, be-
cause it is exceptional. But these things
have to be noticed, once in a while, just
to remind all that class of people that they
are fools; and that they don't appreciate
the relations existing between the public
and the newspaper press. The mistake
that all such make, is, in supposing that
newspaper is sort of public omnibus,
in which every blockhead has an inalien-
able right to ride wherever and whenever
he pleases; and that the fare consists of the
payment of subscription. That paid, the
subscriber becomes 'patron, or rather
an indefinite stakeholder, and so entitled
to voice in the management of the con
Germ. Those who are ignorant, have a
right to be informed in this respect; and
those who know, but forget, the relations
between newspapers and the public, should
be reminded:
That, newspaper is private property ;
subject to the exclusive control of its pro-
prietors.
That, the man who subscribes to a news
paper, gets for his money the printed sheet
which is delivered to him, and which is all
he bargains for.
That, when the subscriber thus pays his
money and receives the requisite copies OF
the paper, the transaction is fulfilled on
both hands, and is at an end.
That, such transaction neither supposeS
nor involves obligation or favor, on the
part of publisher or subscriber
And that, the man who presumes upon
the fact of patronage, to claim rights in
the paper, or in lis management, or who
has the impudence to advise, or threaten
on such basis, shows himself t, be igno.
rant Or foolish, and in either case an Ass.
In regard to this particular case, We
wish simply to say, that, if any subscriber
to THE PIONEER, at St. Anthony, or else.
where, dislikes the paper and wishes to dis.
continue it, all he mas to do, is, to give the
proper notice to the office or carrier, anC
his wish will be promptly complied with
IT he is a gentleman, he will do this quietly,
as he would transact any other trivial
matter Of business; and that will be the
end of it, If he is BLACKBOARD, he will
probably address vulgar letter to the
Editor, and subject himself to be placed
before the community as such, just as
Messrs. EDWARDS and GROVE have done.

y SAD VIOLATION OF MILITARY REGULA-
TIoNs.-Our exchanges frequently record
romantic incidents connected with the war;
but we have seen none better than the fol-
lowing, which we clip from the Nashville
Despatch:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OH
CUMBERLAND, April Il, 1868.
GENERAL THE General commanding di-
reefs me to call your attention to fragrant
outrage committed in your command a person
having been admitted inside your lines without
a pass, and in violation of orders. The case is
one which calls for your personal attention,
and the General commanding directs that you
deal with the offending party, Orp parties ac-
cording to law.
The medical director reports that an orderly
sergeant in Brigadier-General -'s division,
aras to-olly delitercd Of q jaby-which is in VIC
lation of all military law, and of The army reg
ulatiOns No such case has been known since
the days of Jupiter.
You will apply the proper punishment in
this case, and Il remedy to prevent q repetition
of the act.
The above, says the Despatch, is copy
of genuine letter emanating from the
headquarters Of that rigid disciplinarian,
General Rosecrans.
