AS to the pamphlets called military, they are
enormously designated by this appellation for

more unmilitaFy than appeals to the public on
military questions. II is not, howe er. matter
OF surprise, that war, conducted principally by
officers, created after il was declared, and con.
Quoted with means at frs necessarily scan,y and
ill organized should have called forth crimnation
and recrimination. II were to be wished, that
these controversies had been less public. But
publications are sometimes made, TO which reply
IS unavoidable. The replicants are in such cases
JUS liable in addressing the public, since self.
vIndication IS the only motive. The last pampb-
let we have of this sort is a reply to another.
which appeared during the late session of Con.
gress, respecting the capture of Washington in
August, 1919. 1t is int eresting to those who At
this day search for facts on the subject.
The latest political pamphlet is one, which
we should be sorry to attribute to the pen of anv
