THE FATAL LITTLE OPERATIONS OF THE
YEAR AND THE CLOSE OF THEM.

The minor military operations Of the current year-and
we have had but minor ones-have been extremely
costly and utterly poftess The Army and Navy Jour
nal for last week makes comprehensive analysis Of them
all-somethng like adozen 10 understanding those
the Red river and Floda the great raid OF Sherman
and the lesser of Fitzpatrick the affairs at Plymouth,
Paducah, and Fort Pillow; and then it asks:
"Wbat has been the result what has been the gain Of
all these operations, which have cost usin killed wounded
and prisoners less than thousand men, than
twice the number lost by Gen Grant in his great opera
tons from Chattanooga last November The nett profit
from all these terribly costly operations is-whatf Well
at this time hold Fort de Russey and the rebels hold
Fort Williams But what beyond this truly aud pos
lively be set down the real gains and losses of the dozen
expeditions Of 1851"
These certainly startling figures and facts; but
greatly fear that ten thousand an under estimate Of
the losses have suffered by these small desutory indie
cisve, and unproductve operations The losses Of Gen.
Banks alone at Grand Ecore now known to have been
over FIVE thousand.-N Y. Times.

It 10 TOO much the habit OF certain ilfsguiassd
minds to see in every exposure of Official abuses an
intended attack on "the Government" 1t is un-
doubtedly true that many attacks on the purity or
capacity of official incumbents are inspired by per-
sonsl spite or political malevolenoe. But what
then? Are all ACQUISITIONS against placemen to be
ignored2 Has there come to be &c divine right,
of republican ofcehoders, like that Of kings, sati-
rized in the line of Pope, TO govern wrong {"
Shall the people give all watchfuness Of their
servants because the interests entrusted 10 tnem
are more tremendous than at any former PERIOD
Shall they wink at abuses because, more than AZ
any other period, abuses may do irreparaDle oam-
age to the Republic2 To ask these questions Is
to answer them, and to point the folly OF those
who seek to identify every animadversion on men
in power with the inspirations of " disloyalty IL
is precisely in proportion to the magnitude OF the
issues at stks in the present crisis OF the Republic
thatspariotic vigilance becomes the most impera-
tive Of duties; but, as it is equally obvious that
the confidence Of the people in their rulers should
not be needlessly shaken, it also follows that all
false and calumnious accusations incur an odium
and guilt corresponding in magnitude with the
mischief that may be done by their authors. The
true and enlightened patriot is he who, in per-
forming the duty enjoined by the former, without
fear, favor, or affection as regards men, knows how
to avoid the latter well from respect for himself
as from respect for others and the good Of the
country. 1t is mournful to reflect that, when this
is clearly the ideal of ga true and enlightened
patriot" there should be SO many who, by their
partisanship for or against the Administration,
plainly show that they have renowned even the
ambition to possess the honorable qualities or de-
serve the honorable repute of such character.
