exposure."
The latter cause, as he justly remarks,
arises from the three former; for it is the num-
ber of men who have been placed hors de combat,
and disqualified for duty, that has occasioned such
intolerable demands on those still competent to
mount guard.
The Quartermaster-General's and Commissariat
Departments are those mainly responsible for
these deplorable evils. The delinquents must,
however, speedily be visited with retribu-
tive justice. They cannot hope to escape
with importunity from the consequences of the
fearful calamities they have occasioned by
their apathy and indifference. It is not necessary
to impute more direct criminality, for " the ne-
glect of an appointed duty, whereby a fellow-
creature meets his death," renders the offender
liable to a conviction for manslaughter. How much
greater, then, is the guilt of those to whose culpable
carelessness the deaths, not of two or three, but
of hundreds, aye, thousands, of their country-
men may be directly traced, and the suffer-
ings and broken health of a still larger
number, to say nothing of the lamentable conse-
quences of their misconduct on the honour and
interests of the entire nation ? Verily they have
much occasion for, and most assuredly they shall
meet with suitable recompense, whether for good
or evil, the results of the, pending investigation
will tell.
