officers in the Prussian army to offer their sery-
ices to the Government Of the United States dor
ing the war for the maintenance of the integrity
of the Republic.
LIEUT.. col. KEYRS PROMOTED.
Lieut.-Col Erasmus d. Keyes is promoted 10
be colonel of one OF the new regiments oi the
regular army. Col. Keyes has been the alde-ue-
camp of Gen. Scott for several years past, ana
has sustained the most intimate coniidentla reia'
( ons with the General. He was also LOT se'eiai
years Instructor of Artillery ard CaVairy a'
West Point Academy. His last achievement was
the reinforcement Of Fort Pickrn'.
THE CASE OF }. z. HARVEY.
The order recalling Harvey goes out by the
steamer of Wednesday. Were not all our ships
ofwar absolutely required for the blockade, he
would be brought home prisoner in man-of-
war. Under tie circumstances, he will be al
lowed to choose bis own conveyance to America.
/ notice that his guilt is denied in some quarters.
But this 10 useless. The evidence is overwhelm-
Ing.
AN EXPLANATION.
We understand taat TIE TRIBUNE is blamed
in high quarters for prematurey giving iniornIa-
ton of military movements Intended to DO secret'
We have only to say, in self-deiense that we
have broken DO cnuhdrnce, because none has
been reposed. Generals and aide-de-camPs alike
studiously refuse to answer questions with refer
ence to matters of the past, present, ana future;
alike shun newspaper correspondent like pes
thence: and. at the best, treat him with bare
and barren civity. Little or no determination
IS made on the part of these martial magnates,
between events and movements winch have De-
come matters of history and those to the success
of which secrecy is Important. III we would dls
charge our duty as journalists, we are, therefore,
compelled TO make use Of such sources OF knOwl-
edge as are open TO us, and by putting this and
that together, and reasoning upon the few facts
in our pOss. DD TO arrive at conclusions, as 10
the precise correctness or importance OF when we
can never be certain. We draw from wells which
we know to be equally open to friend and foe Z"
which indeed, we have reason to believe Rebel
spies sometimes resort. Nevertheless, We have been
studious not 10 dvulge all tOat we knew-haVe
been purposlv vague aud indirect, and have
owen nlsns in details. We are still at loss to
see WHY that Information should be denied TO the
Northern public which JEFF. Davis can and does
secure through trusty emissaries, ana sometimes
tbrouph the agency of men who feed at the pub
lie crib.
