It is a privilege to haVe the liberty of,
complaining. There is a joy in joy
mingled with sorrow, it may be—and much
sorrow, perhaps; but still, there is a pleas
ure in it. If not, why does it so abound ?
Why do many people almost worry them
selves to find out something that is seem
ingly .
wrong—look, voluntarily, on the dark
side of things-almost torture themselves
in exerting , their ingenuity to distort the
actions or motives of their fellows ? Surely
there must be some kind of a joy, a self
flattery, or at least a relief, in complaining
and fault-finding.. Husbands practise it,
and wives also, and parents, all to the de
struction of domeatie • . peace and 'family
love. How sweet it must he, to more than
compensate for such a loss! Neighbors
practise': it, yea,- and ministers, toe,"
also the people of their charge. And,' edi
tors are famous for it. ,
Just now, the grand topic for fault-find
ing' and complainti is the slowness of our
commanding generals. There, may be . a
little cause for this; and it may AlSo have
its use. It may arouse the sluggish,. and,
fortify the over-cautious. ,Let no man des
pise criticisms, norignore public sentiment.
But still he must not yield to Clamor, con
trary to his own well-infermed judgnient.
Pastors of churches,, heads. of. families, Ma-,
gistrates, legislators, generals, all who act
for and over others, should regard, not only
the opinions - and wiSheS, but the real' ben
efit, of;those entrusted to their care.
.
Speaking of our- generals, however,- if
there is any relief in haying -companions in
trouble, they hav&it.- The '-commanders'
the opPoSing arinie4, and their President
also, are beratedby their friends, fat beyond
any thing of, the kind which our:leaders
are called to endure. The-newspapers of
rebeldom occasionally get to our side , ' of
the lines;' and if we MaY'belieire` the ex
tracts; given, to be genuine, COMplain'ts
there are grievous. . .
The Richinond .Dispatc/ speaking of
the great 'doings and great'SUfferingS'
Virginia, in the war, - and of the imposition
upon Virginia by the States of the South,
"Still, she, is regarded as but, a geograph
ical expression—as a field for grand strate
gic combinations which; she '1.3 sure to be
plundered, no matter what the result
be. But patience. This" State of things
cannot last more than six years Jt will
ruin thousands of loyal Virginians; but
what of that ? 'They . 'are not cotton
tem?' ,
The Charleston /Mercury says ;
'I We' hope that President'6AVlS and the
troops on the PotoMac, Wig on their back§
in the sun, feel very comfortable; but 'We
do not envy theni their glorious inactivity! i
The Memphis Argu.9, of Jan. 5, is quoted
as saying: t
" We have yet to learn that thi's COnfed
eracy is' the private property of trEFFERN
SO
DAVIS or the joint domain of his' cabinet;
and we find it still harder to comprehend
how either the President or his cabinet
came to be considered the autocratic dispens
ers of weal and woe to these people, untram
meled by any responsibility to the same.
" We, for one, were and are far from con
sidering that, in voting for the secession
of Tennessee from the despetism of LlN
cowl, we were merely, making a choice be
tween two irresponsible sUltans, propped by
duplicated divans. We never' meant in
abandoning the ;Union - to abandon with it
the rights of 'speech and of the press, 'and,
as long as we can wag a tongue or wield a
pen, we shall do both' in the assertion of
truth, however palatable or unpalatable to
Presidents cabinets, minorities or majori.:
ties.
" Our assertion; last Tuesday, of the true
state of
. our affairs, 'has caused quite a flut
ter among a - few honie soldiers, irresponsi
ble and illegal wielders of 'authority, etc:,
men who, holding their position from the
higher servitors of the people, think it sae
,
rilege and "`weakening of the cause" to
fault any of, their acts or no acts, and who,'
unable to deny our statements,wohld cover
the sins of their superior by asserting that
a statement of the - results arising from said
sins is encouragement and conifort to the
enemy. We seldom' anathematize, but: in
such connexion we can scarce helP saying—
something of the enemy. We spoke and
speak of the state of this Confederacy;
which, judging from the policy of both
Cabinets, is already better known to the
Federal Cabinet than'itis to our oviti.
" We spoke and speak of the ill-conduct
ing of this war, which has now taken from
our homes :some three or four hundred
thousand of our best-and bravest, which has ,
paralyzed all business, save that whiclifputs
the money we can so spare into the
poCkets of the' creaturei - of said President
and Cabinet. -Of this war we spoke, when
we said so much might have been done =in.
it that has been left undone. Those at the
head of affairs were leaders to the'war--Lwe
ask how they are leading thr o ugh it_?
"We have been made to stand still and.
take such cuffs and kicks as the Northerners
chose to give, when they pleased and where
they pleased. We have heard our Generals
blamed E fOr not, doing what it appears they
were not permitted to do. The smothered
report of BEAVREGARD has made that truth
clear enough. We have for months and
months been told that Fotgland would do
our fighting for its on the seas We have
been told everything, save this .one thing;
that in the cities of the North lie the keys
of our blockaded ports, and the peace` We
seek and need.
"We see access..to that peace rendered
more and more distant hy the wondrously
accumulating power of the Federal 'armies
and navy. We see the advance 'that Was
easy six months ago difficult` to-day,,and,
likely to be impossible 6-morrow. We see,
that from a shoe-latchet to a steam-engine,
we lack everything, and 'that .the fatnilies
of our, obedient soldiers are suffering from
the ;seeming fabulons; prices ,they, have. to,
pay for everything of doinestic ~use. We
look to the future, and, seeing but war,
ask
dnrselVes, ask our• readers; ask our , rulers,
why` all looks darker and darker as 'day' f01..'
laws day; and our vast armies prepare to
rot in their camps, while their mothers and
sisters suffer from their absence at. home.
" Three times since the inception of. this
War has the road been opened unto us into
the very hear,t of the North In July,after
Manassas; when VREMONT ,resigned, and
when JoHNsToirmoved to Bowling Green.
We blame not 'PRICE or
buViie'ask why they were'not
.permitted to do What they . wished to,do and'
could then have, done=seenre4" our peace
and our liberty;? Whom do we blame ?
