one of the Southern papers expresses it, it would

We dislike to think i'll Of Gen. Bosecrans,
therefore we wish he were in better business
than that which he has lately taken up il
has been appointed Minister to Mexico. Why
does he not 90, Or at any rate, why does he
not devote his time to preparation for his ar
duou, work? The Importance Of the duties to
which he i, called can hardly be oyerrated 1t
requires the highest order of craftsmanship to
deal with the questions which our relations with
Mexico force upon us. What can be done to
increase our trade with Mexico How can we
assure the safety Of our citizens on her soil
Can we aid in establishing a firm and liberal
government within her borders Should We. if
she desires, purchase portion Of her territory
Can we properly and peacefully do anything to
deyelope her immense resources These. and
other similar questions Of the gravest import,
press upon US for answers. In our judgment no
one Of our foreign missions now calls for broader
craftsmanship and more careful and thorough
study than this with the conduct Of which Gen
Rosecrans is charged
And how is he preparing for it, What is he
doing to gain the confidence Of his countrymen,
80 that he may be known in Mexico to represent
their sentiments Our columns have during
the last few days been giving the humiliating
answer to these inquiries II Gen. Rosecrans
had diligently sought for the most efficient
means Of shaking the confidence Of his fellow
citizens in his fitness for the high work to which
he is summoned, he could not have succeeded
better. II this interview with rebel leaders at
the Virginia Springs had taken place while the
Generals nomination was pending in the Senate,
we believe that that body would have refused to
confirm him, and in such report would have
fairly represented public opinion.
One would think that the notoriety which
Colorado Jewett, and other self-appointed nego-
tators with rebels achieved during the war,
might have served as warning to Rosecrans.
These voluntary missions have commonly in
CURED ridicule or contempt, and not without
reason. As rule they show their originators tc
be possessed of unmeasured conceit, and of a
plentiful lack I" of common sense. The old
rebel leaders have opportunities enough to ex-
