Lieut.. Gen. PembertOn,

The public were never able to account for the sal
tant promotion by which Col. Pemberton, G. S. A.
(Ex-Lieut o. s. A became, without trial or expe-
rence and without the possession of unusual abilities
that were heard of, Lieutenant General, COM
agement of affairs in that quarter, and especially the
failure to keep the enemy out of the Capital of Misss
sppi has not eIucidaed the mystery When the pinch
came another General of tried and known ability was
sent there but At too late. If Pembarton not
competent for the duties assigned him why he sent
there, and why long retaned-and if it was intend
ed to relieve him when the crisis came why the
lief withheld until it could not avail? The telegraph
tells US that the punderng and destruction at jackson
amounted to from FIVE to ten million of dollars. Was
it worth so much to any body that Gen. Pemberton
should have been promoted so many officers of ex-
perience and ability? The Government /" may feel
very easy the subject but the ignorant public must
be allowed to have its doubts.
