RESERVATIONS OF ARMY OFFIcERs.-A CORES
pondent of one of the New York papers writes
under date of May 7th, as follows:
The resignation of Major Mordeca of the Ord
nance Corps has been accepted. He has long
been regarded as Of the most accomplished
officers of the Army His report on the Crimean
War was printed by order of the last Congress.
Major Mordecai is a native of North Carolina and
is ofthe Hebrew faith.
The Army sustains great loss by the resigna-
ton Of Lieut.. COL VIM NJ. Emory, SO well known
for his explorations in the Far West and for his
services in the Mexican Boundary Survey the re-
salt of which is embodied in the great government
quartos which have been put forth during the
past four years. Col. Emory is the son of the
late Gen. Emory, for many years a leading Whig
of the Eastern shore Of Maryland, and has always
occupied high rank in the army a scientific Of
icer of superior attainmcnts and sound judgment.
1t is somewhat fashionable at present in certain
circles at the North to underate the value of
Southern officers. But how can we create at will
such officers as Col Robert e Lee, Col Joseph 4
Johnston, Gen A S Johnston, Col Huger, Major
Mordecai, Col Emory, Col Magruder, Gen Beau
regard, Gen Bragg Major Wayne, Major Garnett,
Col Lay and others of the army; and Ingraham,
Tatnall, Buchanan, Randolph Magruder, Fairfax,
McBlar, Lee Page, Sinclair, Maury, Hartsteine,
and others, of the navy. If ga thousand years
scarce serve to form State" will it not require,
at least a quarter Of century to replace such men
in the army and navy of the United States?

APPEARANCE OF THE MEN SENT
SOUTH

The New York correspondent Of the N. Orleans
Picayune says:
A, vast number of those who have gone forth to
meet their Southern kindred in q hostile strife,
are no more ft for the undertaking than infants
in their cradles. And more particularly is this
the case with scores of the volunteers which 1
have seen on their way to be equipped. Instead
OF being able bodied aud healthy, they have deep
lines of sickness firmly engraved upon them;
while as regards strength march of FIVE miles on
a warm day would wilt them almost beyond recov
cry. The most Of these, however, have enlisted,
because Of the want of better employment; they
had nothing to do and the feeling here so strong
that the South aciU be easily aoAipped, that the
risk OF life on the part Of the enlisters has been
thought to be small indeed.
In the regular companies that have gone, there
are also many totally unfit for the arduous duty be-
fore them. The enthusiasm of the hour. however,
and the belief in only short absence from home
has carried them off to the unholy strife. Now
mark my prediction. If these men are sent to
your soil to measure arms with you on your
territory not half of them will ever again be heard
from. Either as food for powder as victims to
the scorching heat of your latitude, these now
ardent defenders of their country" will pass
away to the unknown land, their death struggles
rendered douby keen by the thought that they
rashly left all that dear to them to make war
upon their countrymen.

CHANCES OF BEING KILLED IN WAR.-Marsh-
al SAKE, high authority in such things, was in
the habit of saying that to kill in battle,
the mans weight in lead had to be expended. A
French medical and surgical gazette, published at
Lyons, says the fact was verified at Solferino,
even with the recent great Improvements in fire.
arms The Austrians fired eight million four
hundred rounds. The loss of the French and It.
alians was two thousand killed, and ten thousand
wounded. Each man hit cost seven hundred
rounds, and every man killed, cost four thousand
two hundred rounds The main weight of balls
is one ounce; thus, we find that it is required on
average, two hundred and seventy-two pounds
of lead to kill man. If any of our friends should
get into military fight, they should feel great
comfort in the fact that seven hundred shots may
be fred at them before they are hit and four
thousand two hundred before they ''shufie of the
mortal coil"
1t must be borne in mind by the reader, that
the above estimate is made from facts furnished
by battle in which the most skillful soldiers of
the world were engaged. The conflict in which
soldiers are about to engage, entirely differ
ent. They will be brought in contact with lot
of inexperienced, half-faMshed hirelngs, not one
in twenty of whom, the New York Tribune says,
has ever seen gan, except through shop win
dow. The chances of being wounded will be
about one in every twenty five hundred-and of
being killed, one in five thousand.

Gloomy Aspect of Affairs in Missouri

w ASHINGT0S, oct. 3, 1901.
The Cabinet have had several consultas
tions with Gen. Scott, Gen. McClellan, and
other army officers, in relation to affairs
in Missouri, and unanimously came TO the
conclusion that Gen. Fremont is not now
in a nnsi'in. - risk 90 S~ess9r-3~' with
the forces Of Price and McCulloch.
His own dispatches show that he has
entirely charged his programme, since
leaving st. Louis week ago, and his ear
nest demands for assistance, render it ex-
tremely improbable whether battle can
be risked in Missouri for month to come.
Under these circumstances, the admins
tration has reversed its previous decision
10 give Gen. Fremont an opportunity to
vindcate himself in the field. and he has
been superseded in his command and or.
dered to report himself for trial by Court
Martial on the charges preferred against
him by Col Blair.
Gen Wool, from Fortress Monroe, has
been ordered to the command of the de-
partment of the West, in Place of Gener.
al Fremont, and is already on mis- way
West. Gen. Mansfield will at once assume
the command of Fortress Monroe, and
leaves to day for that purpose, accompa-
MED by his staff.
Gen. Fremont >will report himself in
this city, at his earliest convenience. II
is believed that General Wool is fully
competent to master all the difficulties
that have grown up in that department.

According to reports from Washington
it seems that Gen. Fremo mt is ordered 10
report himself at Washington TO be tried
by Court Martial. In other words that the
is removed from the command OF the
Department Of the West, and Gen. Wool
has been ordered to succeed him. Gen.
Mansfield is to take the place of Wool at
Fortress Monroe.
How will our Rep ublican candidate for
this district, A. !. Wilcox, relish this blow?
Our readers will recollect that we pub

that in so doing he has shown himself G.
