10 our remarks yesterday evening, deprecst-

when successful, and heap csnsure upon them
when unsuccessful, we trust we we're not un-

to rigid responsibility, aud when incompetent
or inefficient, to deny the right of the public to
snimAdveTt upon that incOmpstencY OF inefi-

an officer, he must bring to the discharge Of its
duties al his energy and powers. But our
statement was, that the mere success or failure
of general was no reason for laudation on the
one hand, OF censure on the other If every
officer in the Confederate servies believed like
SToEEwALB JACKSON, that he was but an IN
siramentslity in the hands Of Omuiposencs, des-
tined to accomplish specific work, \ nd bent
