head of " Views of the Military circurD-

fierce OF the union. While it is admitted
that the writer Of these numbers possesses
considerable knowledge of the subject, yet
II cannot bpt. be lanepted that occasions
should be SO frequently created, of giving

our different attachments and IF their or
ganization and equipments to those who
should, upon every prudent and rational
consideration. be kept in the most profound
ignorance. As witness the statement which
has been published by one of the Deputy
O. M. OF thc left wing of the n. W. army.
10 this sentiment may be opposed the soli-
taTyi argument, that as ours is a govern
ment founded on popular opinion. it is the
duty OF government to give information
from time TO time, to the people, not only of
their acts, but also of their gnsention8.-A
While the nation remained in a state Of
peace, unassailed by foreign violence and
unaffected by intestine contmotions and di-
visions, these arguments ought Certainly TO
have their full force upon the community.

THE BATTLE OF oUEENsToN.

~" The following letter presents us some
new and interesting facts about this dsas-
trous affair. Was ever piece of business
more misjudgcd and wretchedly contriyed /!
Its misfortunes are to be traced to two Dri
mary causes; the want Of boats, and the
failure to 7vGit for the reinforcement OF re-.

serts, that at the time when the redonbts
were taken and our standard planted upon
the heights. the militia were ali of them
ready to go over but they could not DO it
for the want of boats Gen. Van Renssc-
laer indeed says "every precauton was a.
dopted as, to boats" &c. But there never
were more than Is boats; tho 60 had been
offered him by the Quarter -Master-General
OF n. y. Gen. Porter, who pledged him
self to- be responsible for sdfficiency of
boats, oars and rowers--to this 10 other
than ali evasivc reply was made And the
expedition was planned and attempted with e
out the Q. M. G.. beng consulted OH the
subject. rs TO the regulars, the q. Mes
sengef says, that it wU-ld seem as If ". Il.
never meant 10 employ Gen. SMITH and
the regular forces and yet he complains
that " one third part of the lille men might
have saved all," when 1900 regulars were
purposcly kept back lie EH,ssengc, in
sinuatcs that the " desire to give Colonel
V. K. the command, seems to have pre-
vented the collection Of 4, greater forc;.

that ammunition, shot, &c. have been sent
to complete 100 rounds to gun lii all the
harbors south of the Potomac.
I" 1t is strange, but it is very unhappily
true, that no provision has been made by
laTu for Field Commissares. and all that has
been done by iaw is calculated rather to
produce confusion and waste than order and
supply" Hence the necessity of general
power to organise staff composed of ex-
per:enced officers subject to instructions
from the war department, by which the
means will be provided Of distribution and
preservation and control anon imtroner
thus will the chain of response
blity be invariably and inhexibly establish
ed through a consistent line of subordina-
ton in all it's branches.-This defect in the
law, has, in many Instances produced de-
lays i'll the transportation and delivery of
supplies, and has opened the door to the
most extravagant waste. Many complaints
have been made against the war depart
ment in not having paid the necessary at
tention TO the supplies of clothing for the
Southern troops, without considering the
difference of climate or the difference of
attitude, between them and the TROOPS of
the North. Their complaints and objecti-
ons are III general as well founded as in this
instance and while we confess it would
be folly to indulge the vain hope of convinc-
ing men determined to condemn even "a
gainst the convictions of truth itself--much
consolation is left us in the reflection that
the candid OF all parties will unite in their
appreciation of the extraordinary efforts
made by the Executive Government TO place
the nation in an attitude to meet and to
chastiSe our insoient rival, and most invete-

it will be perceived that the number of
