The New Army Appointments.

In our opinion, the press of the coun-
try has passed too lightly over the late
action of our Executive, in regard to the
army appointmcnts.-Indeed it has pre-
served an unaccountable silence on this
very important subjective deem it our
duty to invite public attention to the mat
ter. Our views may avail littlc-never-
theless we shall give them. They are on
ly opinions. Opinions are free.-Ours
upon this subject have not been formed
hastily, but after fair considcration.-We
look then upon this system, in the man
ner it has lately been carried out by our
President, as not only impolitic, but a
measure of absolute injustice-injusticc
to most respectable class of our fellow
citizens-the officers Of the regular army,
as well as to the many worthy men who
form the materiei Of that army
When we examine the list of officers,
lately created to command, we feel salts
fed that every appointment has been OBJ
taincd through the influence of "friend
at court" while at the same time we are
convnced, that our Executive have prac-
tised more caution in their selections hith-
erto than they will do in future. They
knew that, from the novelty of the case,
the eyes of the Country were upon them,
and they tried to please.
Fremont's promotion has been some
what censured by the prcss.-It is GER
tainly, most extensive leap, from SIM
pie lieutenant to lieutenant-colonelcy-
but we could forgive this show of favor
inasmuch as the receiver of it has render
ed himself somewhat conspicuous of late.
He has travelled over a large tract of
wilderness country-a duty which proba-
bly, would have been performed equally as
well by almost any other lieutenant in the
servicc-he has also written an account
of his travels which could have been done
quite as well by many of his grade--still
we would pardon his extensive" promo
ton, in consideration Of his great servi-
ccs.--At the same time we have not for
gotten, that Captain Merryweather Lewis,
notwithstanding the performance of simi-
lar services-Ilerculean labors when COM
pared to the light duty Of Lieutenant Fre-
mont-now sleeps in the wild woods of
Tennessee without even chizzelcd stone
to tell, why that lille mound mas thromn
up!
1t is indeed long leap from lieuten-
ancy to lieutenant-colonelcy, but, as
we have said before, we would overlook
this-ior it is nothing when brought into
comparison with the promotion which elc-
Yates man from the position Of ioafr
10 the grade Of a Heutrnant.
But waving these objections, and al
lowing that our Executive may appoint
only men, who are morally aud intellec-
tually deserving Of such dlstinction--stilI
we hold that the system is both impolitic
and unjust.
Warfare is not a mere trial of physical
or intellectual strength. II was so once
IL is now very different thing. In mod

ern times it has become an art--a science
"a science to be studied and learned,
and it is not less ridiculous to think of
one of those Prvenu soldiers conducting
the most common movement Of an army,
than to see school-boy shadowing forth
his conceptions Of Venus, or one who
has just mastered the gamut, attempting
the march Marocaine, or the overture of
Tancredi.
We believe the very latest cadet, who
has issued from West Point, to be more
capable Of commanding a company or a
troop, than the most distinguished militia
captain in the country. And we hold
him by far more deserving of this duty.
The man who has spent four or five of
the best years of his life in acquiring the
art of war--and who has undergone the
severe routine and regimen of our mill
tary College--almost as severe as service
in the field is this man to be superseded
by "fellow'
'Who never set squadron in the field
and who has spent his time in idle
and Improbable recreation. We say it
is rank injustice, and we have shown
thatit is highly impolitic. Yet has it
been done, and we most significantly
condemn such system.
The proper plan, in our opinion, would
Ibe,-frst, to give a command to every
officer in the regular service until the
4" stock" became exhausted--to entrust
the higher grades to these only--and then
to fill up the junior commissions of lieu
tenantcies, cornetcies, &c. by soldiers
from the ranks, who have proved them
selves by conduct and capability deserv-
ing of such promotion.
We consider ours the most republican
country in the world--where humble
merit is most likely to be rewarded--and
yet ours is the last army in which pri-
vate soldier ever dreams Of promotlon.--
In the great armies of Europe this is a
common thing, particularly of late years
We know that about the time Of the
English queens ascendancy, forty private
soldiers in the British army received the
rank of ensigns in a single year, and since
the late battles in India large number
have been promoted from the ranks. Talk
then of hireiing soldiers We know oI
no soldier who fights with less "hope
ahead" ,"--either of promotion or pension
than our own poor skybluc.'
Ifneed be, we should appoint a fail
sprinkling of civilians; let them first show
a capability for command, and an eager
desire to serve their country. We would
not make them coonels and majors, at q
single jump, but plain lieutenants, and
we would remind them, at the same time
that the great Jackson had fought dozen
battles, before he was thought worthy o.
his rank of major general in the regular
army.
Let this system be adopted, and We
shall be no longer constrained to lister
to the farcical and froihy patriotism, o
gentlemen Offering their services"

One cause of the great destruction by the
fire at Nantucket, was the want of union and
harmony in the fire department, whereby its
efficiency was greatly impaired. The New
Bedford Mercury says that with proper or
ganization of the fire department the progress
of the flames might have been arrested at a
much earlier period, and an immense amount
of property saved. This should be d warning
TO every town where similar deficiency exists.
