campaign.

1t is reported from Fortress Monroe that the
Secretary of War has promised Sen. Butler that
he shall at once be provided with whatever is ne
cessary to render the army under his command
competent for duty in the field. We rejoice to
TO hear this. The visit OF the Secretary and tho
consequent promise have not been made
moment too soon. Hitherto Gen. Butler has
been kept in systematic deficiency of many things
that are absolutely indispensable TO his rendering
any valuable service; indeed. if it were intended
to cripple him and deprive him OF every possibility
Of doing what the country expects him to do, the
course which has hitherto been pursued toward
him, would suffice with scarcely variation.
Gen. Batter has at Fortress Monroe and New.
port News some fifteen TO twenty thousand men,
all volunteers and militia, but up to the present
hour, not single fl officer has been sent to aid
him in the work of organizing these regiments
into brigades. The only Brgadier-General he
has had is Gen. Pierce; aud the consequence has
been a comparative paralysis Of the whole force.
We presume one of the 6rst acts Of the Secreta.
~ will be send at least two experienced COlonels
of the army, in addition 20 Col. Duryec and Col.
10 bo promoted, to act as Brigsdicr-Generrls.
The next important want TO be supplied is that
of field artillery OF this Fortress Monroe ia al
most entirely destitute; and yet bow can But
ler cooperate in the great movement against
Richmond, in which his cooperation is indispen-
sable, unless this deficiency be promptly and fully
supplied
Then be must have horsomen. Opposed to hin
is q great number OF Virginia irregular cavalry,
whose sudden attacks annoy and tax bis men 10
an ntolerable degree, but who cannot he pursued
without horses. IA yet not single cavalry SOL
der has been attached to the force at tie Fort.
ress. We presume tlat the Secretary wiz at
once meet this pressing want, so far as it may
be possible. We believe that if Eve hundred
horses could be sent him with the necessary
equipments, Gen. Butler would find no difficulty
in mounting them with efficient men from the
forces now under his command, organizing, in
deed, not regular corps OF dragons, but
body OF scouts and rangers who would prove in
the highest degree scrviccable.
OF course the column which moves from the
Fortress will have other wants, which will be
attended to; but We believe We have indicated
those which are most important. We have done
this not at all for the information of the Secre-
tary Of War, but to justify Gen. Butler with the
public. 1t s true tnat he has not yet accom-
plished what was hoped Of him, ard that COM
plsinis Of imperfect organization and many abuses
at the Fortress have become current; but the
people should understand that this a6c officer has
been placed in position OF comparative helpless
ness. We have not the slightest doubt that Just

requisite means he viii amply and brilliantly an

and cspable at a moments notice Of answering
any drafts upon its resources sometimes through
mbecility he has beea incapable Of providing the
necessary supplies, when in other places; aud
sometimes through q sordid knayishness he has
deliberately cheated those whom be was bound
to serve. In other cases the Government con-
tractors have been in fault, and they baye de-
lberately starved the men whom they are PAID
to feed, that they might add to gains already
large.
But, wherever the fault iS, it is intoierable'
and not to be endured for single moment
where tho necessity Of the case does not make
it inevitable 1t is not merely question OF
comfort to the men, but one Of endurance on
the march, of courage in battle, of health az al

effective weapons, abundant munitions, and not

urge submission to its terms. In any case,
we see no need and no probability of pro.

for dilatory desultory prosecution of the strife
on our side unless it be to weary tho loyal States

The Report OF tie Secretary of the Treasury,
given in our last, sufers badly by telegrapbic
transmission--worse, we think than the Presi-
dents Message. ClesrRess Of statement is the
first requisite in financial expose and this is
inevitably marred Il not sacrificed, by iiltering
such document through the Telegraph, whereby
commas aud periods are made to change places,
and evGry variety of topographic mischance
serves to confuse statements originally lucid and
indisputable. We trust documents Of this char.
acter may henceforth be forwarded to the great
cities for publication some hours in advance of
their appearance at Washington, since the public
interest as well the reputation of their authors,
inevitably suffers by their transmission over the
wires, while the eagerness Of popular and COM
mereal anxiety TO become acquainted with their
contents seems to leave the leading journals 10
alternative but TO obtain and print them at the
earliest moment at whatever cost to the dOeu-
ments or to themselves. We shall give perfectly
accurate versions OF this important State Paper
