which placed John B. Hood at TIE bead Of the second

those who either Withheld their approval of the mea-
sure or promptly condemned Il rash and dangerous
one could have had 10 other motive than that which
a seaous CONGO isl k,lJ to excite.
We do not speak q ths question arising out Of per-
sonAl 2rsiudces or dlffsrenceS With these We have
no deslings, and will not seek to combat them. We
speak OF the objection raised By Sone-aLd TO an ex
tent properly aedIn the aspect Of the fitness OF the
newly made General fer the responsibilities Of the stu
alton. The eKpresslOns Of doubt and fear which fol-
lowed the auIouncem ,nt Of uotxOecIed an elsva-
tion whilst they exhibit want Of faith in the HSaCity
which directed tbe choee lacked neither udence nor
Judgment. F& the sltuAhon-A perilOu, one beyond
precedent-Wss surrounded with too maLy alarming
crcusance not TO create doubt and anxiety a. to the
issue, in view of so btl and, apparently, rash sep
Bat sEits prOLG. ae,a. And the issue, thus far, seems
calculated 20 sustain the sgacity AID judgment of what
We mu.t now ecoep. as q timely Change.
We have tho tetimony Of the greatest csptGin Of the
age, that nothing is ccmmendA.ry Of merit as suc-
cess Let the successes then Of the leader Of the
Georgian army b taken his standard Of merit but
whilst We will not TOO firmly rely the frat outbulss
