Ere Of rihed leading srtcles-until The enemy have
frat defeated them True, are all great strhte'
gists and rretutable military crltics; yet u may
ALTO be arged, with some show Of reason that the
Generals appointed by the President and charged
with responsibilities 20 momentous, and who have
heretofore 20 molly served the Confederate cause,
csnnot be altogether unworthy the trust OF the ma
ton. Gen. Pemberton has once before beaten back
a besieging force from before Vlcksburg with guo-
minious rout and heavy slaughter; he has been
Judged worthy Of his high post by the greatest mill
tary authorities; he is now standing AZ bay on The
historic hills Of Vicksburg, against the Inighlles'
armament, by land and water, that the enemy nus
vet lauu cted against the famous stronghold. The
official disnstch we this day publish will relieve
many an anxious heart, and will csll forth feryeni
blessings on the head Of our noble army aud It's
