COMPETENT MILITARY OFFICERS. the
great mistakeexperieneed thus far, in military
affairs, has been the acceptance OF incapacita-
ted military officers, is so patent to all, (es-
pecially the three month"; soldiers) IS to need
no repetition. The policy ofthe War Depart.
nnent now is, to strip the spurs and epsuletts
from all incompetent officers, aud hereafter to
place no one In commaHd, who does not thor
oughly understand the duties Of the position
he ia to assume. Statements have been made
that certain Colonels have been recognized BY
the Government, leaving the impression that
members Of companies composing the Brig
AIDES Will have no voice in the selection of
their Colonel. Such is not the fact. Every
Brigade, when full, will elect its own officers,
from Colonel down to 4th Corporal, without
regard to the antecedeRt commanding. :''
