the company to which they belong serve unwillingy.
Their uniforms 70 closely resemble those Of Duyee's
Zouaves, that the deserers came into camp without
being stopped by the guard. The othertwo taken

About 800, including strong body Of cavalry, win

THAT PLAN.

To the Editor Of The " y Tribune
Sir: II seems the Hon. Schuyler Cofax was admit
ted into the adytum Of the Commanderin-C Chief, aud
there received such limitations Of the plan o! mill
tary operations as overwhelmed him with reverence
and amaEement Now it is not probable that the whoIe
plan could have been developed 70 this astonshed
neophyte.
1t is rather TO be presumed that II was merely some
oracuar coruscation sufficient dazIe but not uerly
paralyze bis mind
Some significant limitations Of the same kind have at
various appeared in newspaper and
the public have been waiting in breathess expectation
for the development of system Of strategy that would
bewilder and eon?ound the rebel hosts.
Day after day and week after week have however
elapsed without further revelation Of the grand
ment. In the time the gathering Of soldiers has
gone on; money has been contributed TO an almost
fabulous amounts and forces have been voluntarily
ganized so rapidly that the Government has been
PEELED TO check the movement by Official delays caused,
no doubt by tbs difficulty Of arranging suddenly all
the advantages which should naturally be derived from
the vast patronage devolying upon the Government in
the appointment Of officers, and the enormous emola-
uienis growing out Of the of public funds in the
equping and providing for such large bodies of men,
All these delicate matters having, however, been at
last saiisiaeicrjly accomplished, End military array
