JANUARY 8.-We are sinking deep
er into the mire Of discomfort and the
slough Of despond every day. Those
at the head OF affairs seem to have no
notion OF what q fix We are getting
into. The complicated and cumbrous
machinery that prevails through ev-
cry department. the ignorance and
helplessness of every responsible idiot
who ought to assist instead of confu-
sing matters, and the wear and tear Of
the working. suffering, dying soldiery,
prove that there is something worse
than rotten in the way in which the
campaign is carried on. Now, for in
stance, to give you an idea Of how
things are managed, suppose so tuns
of flannel drawers arrive in the har-
Dor: the natural plan would be for this
to be notified 10 a regiment. and then
the Colonel might send down 100
men to carry up the 600 pairs of draw
ers his regiment requires. But this is
much too simpleSor the officialism.-
The drawers are first landed; then
thew are put into stores. perhaps the
stores are full; perhaps men cannot be
found to put them there. In about a
week or more the Col. of a half naked
regiment accidently hears of this. He
applies for them in the first instance 10
his general: tho General after losing a
few days. forwards the application to
the -s.sarter master General. This
worthy. in course of tim,,. succeed in
getting Lord Raplan's signature TO a
reouisition. This goes back. if il is
not lost on the road to the Colonel
He applies to the Commissary. The
sends him to some one
else, who sends him an order on the
storekeeper, and so on the routine goes,
and IL the Colonel gets the drawers in
a month he does uncommonly well!-
The harbor of Balaklava is full Of ships
laden with things which have been
sent out for the soldiers; but nobody
knows what they are. nobody knows
how to get them, nobody knows to
whom to give them, nobody knows
about anything that he ought
to know, aad the upshot Of the whole
is. that among them all no one gets
anything, nor ever will. Wooden
