tends the conduct of the in the Crimea and that
of the officers. The condescendng manner in which
he speaks of those who have raised themselves by
their merit is amusing, and shows the arrogance
of the class that he belongs to. He says:
1t is mistake and misrepresentation to assert
that the officers of the army generally and hab
itually inattentiye to their duty that the condi
ton of the troops would be improved by having a
large portion of them drawn from the ranks, for it
is precisely because they gentlemen that the

force, of the books and papers of the Washington
Monument Association. They turned out the orig
inal managers, such men Gen. Scott, W. w.
Seaton, Esq, and Gen. Walter Jones; and prom
ised that under their auspices the Monument should
go up g in jerk. - Well, what has been the re-
suit? The W ashiDgton Star states that not the
first blow has been struck the Monument since
the Know Nothings took possession of it-only sew
en- hundred dollars have been collected, and every
of this has been expended in paying salaries of
officers &C. -, ..~.sa

with which it is competed 1t has laid its foul hands
