Col. Cass's account of the surren-
der OF the army o. the Northwest,
presents most deplorable picture
of the state of discipline in the SER
vice. On the one hand, the COM
mander in chief. to whom this i'm
portant and expensive expedition was
inlrusted by our miserable managers
at Washing ton, is represented as
pursuing such a "scries Of timid,
irresolrte. and iadecisive measures"
as to forfeit the confidence of the
clbordina, officers. On the ether,
we are informed that those officers
we're guilty of the most inexcusable
ats of INSTRUMENTATION, in assuming
to themselves the exercise OF SUI
| preme authority, in writing to tho
| governor of Ohio respecting the at
fairs of the army, and even in con-
| eeriing muIiny for the purpose Of
:. dressing the general Of his COM
maad," which mutinous design. col.
Cass SAYS. would have been carried
into effect. but for "lwo ofthe COM
marding officers of regiments being
ordered on detacIlments."
With an army in such a situation.
what but disaster and disgrace could
be expected? The general compel
led. for fear Of mutiny. to keep his
troops scattered in deiachments to
prevent them from conspiring a.

dinate officers on their part. cores
