How TO OFr0ER THE VOLUNTEER ARMY.
We perceive that 1t has become system I'd.
appoint civilians without military knowledge /
either theoretical or practical, to the command
of our volunteer regiments This is q grand
mistake, and one for which we have no excuse.
1t is Of the most vital importance to US that:
our army should be of the highest order eli
efficiency, and to- insure this we must have
skilled officers as well as disciplined privates.
1t is not because Smith or Jones happen, to-
possess certain kind of interest in military
circles that they ought to be taken from
the store or the countnghouse and dubbed
majors or col0nels without, perhaps, having
ever handled sword in their lives before
being placed in this new position. The pro-
per and obvious course Is this: Let the cap
taiDs, lieutenants, ensigns and even cor
porals of the regular army be appointed
to superior positions in the volunteer service.
Give the captain colonelcy, the lieutenant q
captaincy, the ensign lieutenancy, and make
an ensign of the corporal. Then we should be-
doing the right thing in the right place. These
men, all of whom may be relied upon, those Of
questionable loyalty having already been
weeded out, have not only received good mill
tary education, but have seen active service in
various parts of the country and many of them
are not strangers to border warfare. Con-
trast such trained and experienced professors
Of the science of war, who have made it the
ssldy OF their lives, with the unsophisticated cit
zens who have been placed in command of
moat of our volunteer regiments. This is no
time for favoritism; what we want is good
army, and the sooner our suggestion is carried
out the better. Let the War Department re-
fuse to confirm or accept the appointment Of
any more civilians, without military education
or experience, to places of military COM
mand, and in future let us look to the regular
army for our militia officers. Much, if not
everything, depends upon the military COM
manders, not only as regards the drill and dis
cipEne of the troops in time of repose, but
their success in action. Proper guidance is as
valuable as bravery and endurance, and q
captain who proved inefficient in time of bat
tie would visit that ineficiency upon his men.
In other words, good soldiers require to be led
by good officers. And as we have the latter
among us, why pass them by and select
novices?

ECONOMY IN WAR-THE MORE COSTLY AT
FIRST THE CHEAPER IN THE END-The axiom
that the best way to avoid war Is to be pre-
pared for it, holds equally good in an econo-
mical point of view. Had we been sufficiently
impressed with the fact, we should not have
had to regret the disaster that has just occurred
to our arms at Big Bethel. A wise and
provident economy would have enabled US to
mass against that and every other hostile point
such numbers of we'll Differed and well
equipped troops as to render check impossi-
BILE. 1t would, In fact have averted altogether
the evils that we are combating, by rendering
resistance to the authority Of the federal gov
eminent utterly hopeless.
We have hitherto proceeded on a different
theory, and, In guarding against danger that
might never have occurred, have run into one
just as formidable. The prejudice against
large standing army has, however, received a
shock that will modify greatly the opposition
offered to it. Economically considered, there
can be no question as to its advantages. Our
experience of the last few months has suffi-
GENTLY demonstrated that We have now in the
field to protect line extending from Washing
ton to Cairo only q hundred thousand men. Had
we earlier recognized the truth of the principle
that the cheapest war is that which costs most
at the outset, we should now have FIVE hundred
thousand disposable troops for immediate ser-}
vice-half in the positions necessary to be forti-
fed, and half in reserve. To some it may appear
desirable to spend only sufficient for present
emergencies; but this is false economy, and
only aggravates the burthen of taxation. If
we have to expend FIVE hundred millions in
hostilities, it is better to disburse them In one
than in three or four years. 1t is not so much
the actual cost of war as the immense losses
that it entails on industry and commerce that
render it 40 ruinous, We trust that when Con-
gress meets it will show its appreciation of this
fact. By voting SUM sufficient to put in
the field an army of FIVE hundred thousand
men, properly equipped and provided for, it
will nip this rebellion in the bud, give lesson
to the European governments, and promptly
restore the country to its wonted state of pros
perity.

Ills OBVIOUS That Sucn d1Scropancle50 OF opinion
upon matters of such vital Importance as those
connected with the United States st the pro-
cent time would be likely to lead to issues Of
the most uncertain and unhappy character.
Never, No bolievs, for tho last half century, has
tho British government felt 80 much perplexed
upon any question ~ that which concerns the
United States. In the midst Of its indscision
however, we hear of the powerful squadron
which England is sending into American waters.
No doubt this bsiDg doae on the same principle
that Louis Napoleon increases his ornaments
in order to b. ready for Any emergency, and
to DO the arbiter Of whatever concerns his own
empire, and therefore to certain extent, master
of position. The object Of this squadron will
doubtless be, a. Lord John recently declared,
to protect British shipping wherever necessary.
What may come Of this kind of protection
hereafter the future only will decide. 1t is to
tho interest Of both Great Britain and this
country that they should remain at peace,
