WAsaINeroM CRY, June 1.

We have seen, in the Pittsburg prints, an
expression OF marked disgust as the manner
IN Which the late expedition To Long Point
on Lake Erie was conducted and termna.
ted. in which, snpposing the statement OF
facts to be correct. we heartily coincide. 1t
is alleged that private property was need
lessiy de siroyed, under absurd pretences. tits
more important. perhaps. to the reputation
and success OF our arms than those of any
despotic nation, in SO far as they depend in
some degree on the coincidence Of public
sentiment, that they should not be stained
IN the blood Of youth and innocence, or be
disgraced by wanton destruction of indi-
vidnal property. Of the first of these ex
cesses, our military have never yet been
once charged. and Of the latter very rare
~. We are truly grieved now to hear the
accusations on this head, which we hope
are founded on erroneous information as to
facts. But, on this point, we presume
the letter from the commander OF the ex-
petition, when published. will be satisfac.
tory and explicit. In the mean time, from
our knowledge of the disposition of the co.
yernment TO soften the ravages of war, and
OF the unvarying tenor of its orders in this
respect, we are authorised in saying that
wanton or unnecessary destruction Of pri-
vate property ne yer could have received its
sanction Or appreciation.
