". The Military policy which The TRmUNE
opposed was one of delay" indeed, but not
of preparation" The three months yolun'
teers lay around Washington week after week
without being even brigaded. They were
never exercised in the movements Of an army.
They did not know even by sight the generals
who finally led them into battle. They were
allowed to stroll idly about the streets OF
Washington, begging and getting drunk. Their
field cyOlutons were limited to the sacking of
one grogshop and three or four brothes. And
al this neglect, incnpacity imbeciIitg, or
treachery, was exposed from day to day
through these columns, with on earnest entreaty
that something should be oone-that this great
army should not be allowed to wear out its
term of service idly, uselessly, mi'chievously,
doing nothing and learning nothing but demon
alizaton. At last, when the three months
enlistments had nearly expired, so that when
our army was sent into battle part of it
refused to fight, and turned its face homeward,
because its time was out, forward movement
was made, not toward Richmond but Ill
very different direction, and our utterly undis-
cplned soldiers were Precptnted upon the

generaship that the world ever saw our brave
rank and file fairly wrested victory from their
strongly-pOsted, far more numerous sdyersaries,
and would have kept it had the reserve been
ordered to the front when it should have been.
In short, that battle Of Bull Run, after we
had fairly won it, was thrown away by the
grossest incapacity and mismAnagement ever
known in the annals Of war. And that blunder
and disaster is, by journals that know better,

THE CHARTKw CONCLUSION.

The Charter Commission, after wasting
months of valuable time, suddenly woke up
yesterday to the fact that they had only fifteen
DAYS more for elaboration, after which their
labors would be in vain. Thus far the Com
mission has done nothing but talk about ir-
relevant matters, as though their purpose was
to discuss anything but the city disagreement,
while their Committees, so far as appears, have
done even less. Now they resolve to expel
members who don't attend, and adjourn to
meet next Friday, and daily thereafter till q
new Charter is completed, or the 9th of No
vember discharges them from duty. Of course
there is no time now to 60 into the Charter
discussion with that deliberatiOn which the
subject requires, and Charter made without
deleberation would be worse, in oil probability
than the present one. 1t is clear, therefore,
that we can expect nothing from this body,
and perhaps it is as well that it should be so.
From present Appearances through designing
diversions in the loyal ranks of the people, the
city bids fair to be handed over to q worse
government next year than we have at present,
and without honest officers we cannot hope for
reform in our city affairs, nor retrenchment in
the public disbursements, however good the
Charter may be.
The fact is, the Charter COmmissOn-tbat 10,
the manngcrs--knOw that if they were to go
earnestly to work to purge the City Govern
ment, and simplify our Municipal machinery,
il would result IN the complete overthrow OF
the present corrupt system. Instead OF COM
plex combination of irresponsible bureaus, Off
ces with imaginary duties, and large salaries
without end, for the support of hundreds OF
political drones, and tax bill Of twelve or
fourteen millions year for them to draw
FROM we should have a simple, straight
forward, well-defned government, with pow
ers. duties, and responsibilities, which
every one could comprehend, at 10 more than
half the present cost Now, the machine IL so
intricate and irrespOnble that it is custer to
understand all the details Of the Solar System,
than to get clear insight into the way the city
is governed. AL that the taxpayers know 10
that it is most costly piece of legislative
mechanism, by means of which great many
people make very fine appearance in public,
without appearing to have much work upon
their bands. 1t would be cruel to send these
elegant creatures back TO their primitive bust
ness of bar-keeping and bullying so our Char
ter Commission have virtually resolved to let
things take their courte, as far as they are
concerned

TUE LATEST WAR NEWS.


Our only news from Washington, connected
with the rebellion, has reference TO the nayiga-
ton Of the Potomac. That river appears now, tenn
porarily at least, to be completely closed. Some
new batteries have been disclosed, and no yes
sells were able to pass up yesterday. The War
Department has determined to restrict news
paper correspondents in the use Of the telegraph
for the transmission Of intelligence of warlike
movements, and we are, therefore, in meas
ure cut off from our usual supply of news.
From Leesburg we learn, at the hour Of
writing, no further details Of the battle Of
Monday in which Col. Baker lost his life. Our
only dispatch upon the subject, indeed, states
that the National troops retired in excellent
order to their positions, and continued TO hold
the Virginia side Of the Potomac.
We have from Missouri the news of a rather
important battle which took place yesterday at
Fredericton, near Pilot Knob. Col. Phlmmer,
with detachments of infantry, cavalry, and
artillery, attacked and completely routed 3 1000
Rebels under Gems. JEFF Thompson and Lowe.
The latter was killed, together with large
number of the enemy--how many it is not
stated The loss on our side was five killed,
FIVE severely wounded, and twenty slightly
wounded. The National troops behaved spen-
