which have led to this ARRAY, both lines are

threatened aud done violence to each other;
and the conduct of both during the whole

have been annoyed with their cont nual

and violence, the managers Of the opposing
boats have set a high value upon the &C
QUESTION of buIles and blackguards to com
Pose their crews. They haze forfeited The

The ARMY.-There is something now
existing in this important branch of our
Government which is wrong, and which
threatens TO strip our army Of the most ex-
perienced and Its most brave and gallant Off
GERS. In General Order lately published
we find list of thirty designations, which,
says the New York American, " large as
is that number for SO small a force as ours,
it does not, as we have reason to believe,
comprise one third ofthe designations actu
ally on file in the war Office, awaiting the
decision ofthe Commander.In Chief. This
ia a state of things fitted to excite inquiry
and inquiry would lead, we apprehend, to
the conviction, that the army Is losing its
high tone, under the discouragements OF
every sort to which it is exposed, both from
those who, officially, should be its guards
ans, and from public Indifference. The
"spols system" the odious, corruptng
spnils system, which, OF itself, should put
Mr.. Fan Buren,, its great founder and pro-
moter, under the ban Of every honest mans
opinion, is eating its way into the army I;
and even there, where the spirit Of honor
and emulation in noble deeds, have been
wont alone TO rule, the discovery is made,
and prac,ised on, that party subservlency
may find its reward. Men wearing an
honorable uniform have not been ashamed
to plead party services. as a consideration
for advancement, or other favors- and ap-
pointments-as recently in the organization
Of the second regiment of Dragons, and
habitually, in the selection of pay masters
are made, not FOR military merit, or servi
ces, or requirements, or education, but on
sheer party grounds. This must of course
both dlshearten. and disgust, those who
having from early life devoted themselves
TO military career, see ravlshed from them
by others, strangers to the service, the
promotions they had looked to, through
long years of expectation, and hsve the ef
