There is great dissatisfaction expressed
on all sides at the generalship displayed by
Gen. Banks. He has lost the confidence Of
the entire army. The privates are rdicul-
ing him officers are not loudly, but deep
~, cursing him and civilians are unani
nous in condemnation of the commanding
General. The Fridays battle was brought
on contrary to Gen. Franklin's plans; and
both Gen. Franklin and Gen Ransom pro-
tested against having the cavalry so far in
advance Of the main army. Gen. Banks
hurried on, supposing there was no danger
but the sad defeat at Mansfield was the re-
suit. After Gen. Banks left Grand Ecore,
he wrote to Gen. Grover, at Alexandria,
1--WE hope to meet the enemy this side Of
Shreveport" His hope has been more than
realized. The troops are calling for Gen
Sherman. They say, if Sherman had been
in command, he would now be in Shrcve-
port, instead Of at Grand Ecorc General
Banks has been engineering his department
more to further his Presidential aspirations
than anything else. But, if the Baltimore
convention were composed of the Army of
the Gulf, his chances would be hopeless
He would not get enough votes to save him
