The Army and Navy Journal, reviewing the campaign of the year 1864, as far as it has advanced-the defeat at Olustee, the failure at Charleston, the raids of Sherman and Kilpatrick, the loss of Plymouth, Paducah and Fort Pillow, and the recent disasters on the Red River, says:
What has been the result, what has been the gain of all these operations, which have cost us in killed, wounded and prisoners, not less than ten thousand men, or more than twice the number lost by Gen. Grant in his great operations from Chattanooga last November ? The net profit from all these terrible costly operations is-what ? Well, at this time we hold Fort Williams.- But what beyond this can truly and possibly be set down as the real gains and losses of the domain expectations of 1864 ?
