are told that Yenikale is to be garrisoned by the
Allies, but that Arabat and Genitchi are to be left
in the undisputed possession of the Russians. Ia this
ease the transport of stores and provisions to the
Crimea, though rendered more difficult and cir-
cuitous, will be still possible. From the vicinity
of Genitchi they may easily be conveyed across
the Siwaah, at points beyond the reach of the Allied
Flotilla. The truth must be told ; for, though it
may give a transient encouragement to the enemy, it
soems to be the only means by which that pressure of
public opinion upon Government, to which alone we
are indebted for our recent successes, can be kept up.
It is one thing to gain an advantage over the enemy,
and another to follow it up to a triumphant issue.
The apparent forgetfulness of this maxim by those
who have the direction of affairs in the Crimea, in
the case of the Kertch expedition, would seem
to imply, either that they are deficient
in the greatest quality of a general--the abi-
lity to turn successes to account ; or that there is
truth in the rumours of unlucky differences of opinion
among Generals equal in authority. The latter, we
fear, is the case, for in war divided command rarely
prospers. Would it not be possible to place the
supreme authority in the Crimea, in the hands of one
man, who would thus be enabled to command co-
operation, where he can at present only invite it
Matters went badly in the Peninsula until WELLING-

NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS WITII
THE ARMY.

Lord ABERDEEN has publicly admitted that he re-
ceived earlier and more full accounts of the proceed-
ings in last year's campaign from the correspondents
lof the English journals than from official despatches.
Even Ministers, therefore,derived benefit from the pre-
sence of newspaper correspondents with the army.
And the nation has derived infinitely greater benefit,
for had they not been present, the vacillating, timid,
and bungling management which caused such heavy
losses and so much suffering would have continued
unabated till this day. The public have an interest
in facilities being accorded to the accredited and,
responsible correspondents of the English journals.
Yet now, as from the beginning, every possible obstacle
and impediment is thrown in their way. We pub-
lished some time ago a letter from one of our special
correspondents, containing a detailed account of the
miserable tracasseries by which he was prevented
from accompanying [the expedition to Kertch. By
the last Crimean mail we learn that the same obstruc-
tive game has been played with another of our special
correspondents, and that it is only with infinite diffi-
culty that he has obtained a passage in a vessel char-
tered by a private individual. For this conduct of
the military authorities there can be no possible
motive but a desire to maintain that secrecy
which is a convenient cloak to cover dangerous
neglect and mismanagement. The gentlemen sent to
the East by the English journals have proved, by the
uniform tenor of their correspondence, that they pos-
sess judgment and patriotism equal to their ability.
They are known in the camp and at headquarters, and
are responsible for what they write. All that we ask
for them then is, that they shall be treated with the
respect and consideration which their high character
deserves, and that they shall not be obstructed in the
discharge of their important duties. So far, the
blame for the obstacles thrown in their way may be
supposed to rest with professional pedants in the
theatre of war; but if, after this public notice, mat-
ters are not mended, the responsibility will attach to
the heads of the Home Government.—Daily News.
