THE OTHER SIDE.
TO The EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
WASHINGTON, June 81, 1861.
The Hie;se, anxious To mako itself ridiculous by
ito extreme viewr, gives us, in its issue Of yesterday
June z0) proof Of its utter ignorance Of the oc
currences Of the day. In publishing the appointment Of
Ulcers OF the regiments the Tribune Of course must
md something 10 censure and show Ito own wisdom and
for that purpose selects the appointment Of Lieut. Colonel
W Emory, the second the list The Tribune SLAM

how the tribune, under such circumstances can dare
to compare Colonel Emory with TWisgs, only be ex-
planned BY the ,bunes usual ignorance Of public affairs
by the peculiar philosophy which governs that admit

be glad to have gained an officer Of Colonel Emory ener
