must soy the debate thus far has been conducted

instead Of treating the assaults Of the opposition cooy
and with the confident cslmnew their security should
beget responded with equal degree Of indscrsst i'm
petuosity and allowed themselves to be drawn from hsi

Neither company, however, can be accepted. New Jsr-
sey urges her claims and New York offers every dsscrp
ton of force It but this morning that the Captain Of
troop Of New York Artillery applied for the secsp-
Of his troop His application could not be compsd
with.
There is considerable difficulty experienced in max.
ing choice of Brigsdier General. The selection

and the Secretary of War 10 fully aware of the
fact, but of the many offering themselves there
arc very few competent. But that the appointment
belongs to New York. 1t would be given to General
Cadwsader Of Philadelphia. Col Webb has been talk
