ton to the President, very numerously signed by
The class Of persons In New York on whom the
Government necessarily relies for the most part
for the advance " the hard money necessary tn
pay the expenses Of the current war Il emphati-
caly speaks for Itself; In tones too, which every
rightminded man viii approve. Here all com.
prehend the importance OF IL suggestions, because
al realize that the evils Of which il COMPLAIN
have existed In the army to its almost utter disor
Ranization.
We are, however, happy to have 1t In our power
10 say, that since the disastrous 2lst Of last
remarkable change 70. the better has been stead
Ny and rapidly progressing. The current condi-
ZION OF the streets Of the Federal metropolis prove
the fact, not more significantly than the large
number Of designations Of incompetent and inefB.
eisnt regimental and company officers that are
daily taking place. Both the executive and mill.
tary branches Of the Government are thus already
sfrsining every nerve to correct the evils which
notoriously led, In great part to the disaster of
Bull Run, and to make a really -inesistible army
out Of the admirable material the country is offe
Ing for the defense Of the Constitution and popu.
lar liberty.
