One point upon which these journals spend
much Of their effort in This direction is the de-
probation Of General Grant, and the deprecia-
ton Of these grand victories that our several
armies have lately won. Oa this posas they

And ~ the rogue hates the law. in virtue OF
which he Is hanged, and but for which he might
steal at his ease 80 the Word and the Ne,os
naturally hate the heroes whose glorious efforts
have brought to tho verge Of ruin the treason
able cause chat they have iabered 10. How can
tho admirers Of JEFF Davis and Of Vallandig-
ham- men who sincerely desirs Southern suo-
ess-oonsistently admire General Grant and
General Sherman, those two great meo who
are identified with the failure Of the rebellion,
who have killed the rebellion. and but for
whom the Southern confederacy wor,ld ere
this have achieved It's Independence, and
would to-day have held up it's unclean
bead az one Of the nations Of tho earth,
Hatred Of these great soldiers for their very
success inspires all those diatribes Of the Ne,os
and the World on the failure Of our military
operations. He who gains the creates. success
against the rebellion is. in the opinion Of the
World aud the Ne,os. the greatest villain and tho
greatest IDIOT; and the only soldier thst shsy ad-
mire aud declare TO be sgreat man ia the soldier
who never gained any great success at all.
The earnestness with which they argue that
Shermans campaign and capture OF Atlanta
WAS matter Of no accOant. a1d didn't hurt
anybody but Sherman; THAI Sbsrdaa is ~
Sherman for while wss-'.just where the snemy

soure posts, I'm the ranks, OF not in the army
at all. They come later; they raise by their
individual power. and they push the Hrst set
from their stoois and take their pisces. They
are the second set Of officers. and from the hour
OF their accession the war goes On a. wars ought
TO 70 On. This was tho history Of the French
Revolution, when the CsEsican usutenaat dis
placed the medoorities Who bad fought for
Louis XIV, or whom the Directory had put In
place before it found the Corsicaa. This was
the history Of the English Parliamentary wars.
when the hitherto obscure Cromwell upset the
noncntities and great captains who had frit-
tered away the power Of the Parliament to no
purpose. And this il our own history in the
present war. Our type Of military greatness
was Gen Scott. He had preferred certain OF
our army officers, and that accident made thsm
great that accident and q hasty choice gave
US our frat commanders, under whom we had
only disaster. But finally the real men have
been found out, and the work goes on glorious
~ under those real mso-Crant Sherman and
Sheridan. Medioority. Incompetence. will nat

declare that these great men are fools; but
what them History will not believe II. neither
will the American people.
