The instruction of our artillery regi-
mepts in their appropriate duties with
light and heavy batteries has been
much neglected Of late years---first, by
capricously dismounting several fthe
light companies, and sending others to
the most unsuitable posts in respect
to supplies and health; and, second,
by the necessary employment, from de-
ficiency in other troops, of the greater
part Of each regiment as infantry on
the Indian frontiers.
A school of practice, however, for
garrisons, seacoasts, and siege artillery
is now being organized, on small scale,
at Fortress Monroe, to be enlarged as
the regiments may be withdrawn from
the Indian frontiers, when-also on re.
garrisoning our principal Notifications
each may be made a subordinate
school: In the meantime, / respect
fully ask that the light companies re-
naming on foot be mounted, as au-
thorized by law.
OF recommendation in former re-
ports | beg leave specially to recall
two:
l. A system ofrecruiting by and for
the respective regiments, which it is
conceived would create and nurture the
esprit de corps-a family feeling in
each always highly conducive to NOR
al elevation and military efficiency.
9. A revision of the pension laws,
so as to place the army on like foot
ing with the navy, volunteers, and mil.
tia in this respect, as there can be no
conceivable reason of any sort for u
discrimination to our prejudice.

Tho Condition Of Parties-The Flu.
ture &c,

The Baltimore Patriot, in some OK
cellent comments suggested by the as
semblng Of Congress, and tho grave
questions open for discussion and adj
Justment, says:
First of all these arc prominent as
plrants for the next presidency, and
these are necessarily obliged to shape
their course towards that end. Scna-
tor Douglas is, perhaps, most conspic-
uous among the Democratic party, and
it is important that himself and friends
should look to the future, ponder we'll
every action, so as to run with the pop
ular current, or force it to follow them.
Governor Wise, Governor Walker, and
others, doubtless, have secret aspira-
tions towards the White House. The
entire Democratic party stands in an
equivocal position. 1t is already quiv-
cring upon the verge of dangerous
precipice and likely to fall over. South
and north are breaking up into hostile
factions. Great men Of the party are
at antipodes on great questions, and
without the slightest hope of reconcile
alton. Even Mr.. buchanan and his
confidential fricnds-those who did
most towards his levation-are in alb
solute antagonism. Extremists of the
South and of tho North chose opposite
horns of the dilemma, whilst those moro
moderate in sentiment are drifting
about ready to spread sails to favor
able wind. The Black Republican
party has fallen to pieces, and power
full efforts are to be made to secure it's
co-opcration-to msex and dissolve it,
SO that its erring members may be one
more brought back for the Democratic
fold.
Something must be done to avert
the danger threatened to the domi-
nant party by that great conservative,
prcponderating force opposed to it
There are apprehensions, too, that
Americanism may rise to command
ing position, becoming national in the
broadcast sense, and, in eighteen hun
dred and sixty, sweep everything be.
fore it. This is by no means among
the mprobabilitics.

The following is part Of an article

SUBJECT
The issue Of Treasury notes will not
afford permanent relief. Those which
Lave an interest of six per cent will
soon be retired from circulation by
capitalists-and besides, they arc re-

relief be sought for the treasury, it may
be found, We apprehcnd, in the mode
suggested by Senators Simmons and
Crittendcn---that is, by increasing the
duties upon imports, SO as to afford
protection to domestic industry. This
cxpedent has been tried heretofore
with signal success. But, even if it
we're to-fail in replenishing the treasu-
ry to the desired extent, it would set

GOVERNOR WISE.

The editor of the Wheeling Times
is tarrying in Richmond, and writes
home his observations on Legislative

from his letter Of December 2Sth -

In the first place, the Senate actually

they should send committee to receive

rs he desires and finally disposition

ic mcmbcrs to take away the Office Of
public printer from Mr.. Richie of the
Enquirer, because that paper is friend
]y to him, and give it to Mr.. Stevens
Of the Republican Democrat, which has
always beer favorable to Hunter. MIR.
Pryor Of the South would undoubtedly
lave the appointment thrust upon him
if he was not ineligible on account of
his violating the anti-duelling law. 1t
may be, however, that he being inter
esLea as partner in the public printing
at Washington, with Banks, Stearman
X Co., he is Indifferent as to who OBJ
tmjns the comparatively small job of
State printing, out of which it is not
possible to make more than fifteen or
twenty thousand per annum. Or it may
be that Mr.. Pryor and Mr.. Stevens
will unite together, and divide the pro.
fits. Stevens is also member of the
blouse Of Delegates, and it was on his
motion that the election Of Hunter was
gone into.
AS near as | have been able to learn,
the grounds of opposition to Ritchic's
reelection as public printer are these:
In the first place, he is paid 5pcr cent
more for the same work than it can be
done for quite as we'll, and is also paid
$4,000 for superintending his own
aoork. The course of the Enquirer to-
wurd Hunter has dissatisfied portion
of Hunters friends, who would 20 any

is an applicant, and has the promise of

those who think that one fat office is

the Hunter men will back down and
permit him to be reelected, or put in

The President and Secretary of War
have determined on their State policy,
but operations cannot be commenced

Note bill by Congress. 1t was strong
ly urged upon Secretary Floyd that he
should recommend the raising of two
or three volunteer regiments in Cali

out rebellion, but that high functions

object. In lieu, however, Of raising
volunteer force in California, L under
stand that it is in contemplation to en-
list and equip one or two of new regi-

and equipments may be higher there
than here, but the cost Of transporta-

comparatively nothing.
1t is the intention of the War De.

columns-One across the plains, one
