Promotions FROM THE RANKs.-Two soldiers, who
distinguished themselves in the battles in Mexico,
have been promoted to Lieuenants In the army This
is very good. but the principle should be extended to
all cases. and every who has shown unusual val
or and discretion should be placed in the line of pro-
motion. We would have a much better army if this
were the The officers would be men of tried
courage who could be depended upon, and the ranks
would be filed with better men. What a reflection
it would appear upon the character of the great body
of the army, if we did not know the practice that
prevails, that only two persons from the ranks in
those hard f0uget fights have yet been thought worthy
of promotions notwithstanding the many acts of inji-
vidual gallanry among the men which have been re-
corded.-PhI. Ledger.

ground. 1t is stated that information of the contem
plated meeting had been previously communicated to
Magistrate Of Bethlehem and to prevent any hostile
demonstration, writ was issued and placed in the
hands of an officer, who repaired to the ground. On
the arrival Of the parties, (being six upon side the
officer attempted to make an arrest but was repused
by their superior force. He was compelled conse-
quenty to return with view of securing additional
assistance, and while thus absent the parties r1et

ORDERS AGAINST PUBLISHING LETTERS THE Ar
MY.-The War Department has revived one of the
rules of the Army established on the LIST o. March,
1875, which prohibits officers from publishing private
letters reports disclosing military operations 1t
is as follows
" Private letters or reports relative to military
marches and operations frequently mschevous IN
design and always disgraceful to the army. They are
therefore strictly forbidden; and any officer found
guilty Of making such report for publication, without
special permission of placing the writing beyond
his CONTROL that it finds its way the press with
in one month after the termination of the campaign
to which it relates, shall be dismissed from the SER
vice.
Such an order at this time would seem to be very
necessary and proper one. We have frequently seen
with asonishment and regret, letters published in the
newspapers from officers in the army, in which all the
military operations were very mlnutely traced and
plans of future action disclosed accompanied with
highly Objectionable remarks the conduct of the
war and the course of the government in its prosecu
ton These letters which always copied into the
Mexican journals, have kept the enemy well ad-
vised of the movements and designs of our army as
of their own, and enabled them prepare a stronger
resistance, while the dissatisfied tone of the letters
to the course of tie administration have encouraged
them in the hope that the unpopular at home,
and would not be PERSISTED In if the Me1 leans only
held out long enough and presented the prospect OF
protracted contest and great expenditure OF money
The revival of this order and the secrecy OF the
cent military movements show that our government
henceforth does not intend to give the Mexicans the
advantage they have had of knowing beforehand what
the operations of the army are to be- The blow will
fall the heavier from being unexpected, and the enc
my unprepared for resistance.-Pa. Ledger

A GENERAL ORDER of the department, reviving
former regulation against the publication of letters
from officers in the army relative to military plans
and operations will be found in another part of this
paper.
The wing prints complain that is levclled against
General Taylor. The National Intelligencer, in ma
king this complaint, says it 'wiE not say that the
regulation may not be in itself, general rule, a
proper one.''
That is enough-if it be proper rule, time Of
war is the proper time to revive it. If it should pre-
vent the publication of imprudent letters from General
Taylor any other officer, we do not see that this
constitutes any objection to tn Y. Post.
