Our friends will not need our assurance that
we gave slecpess nights to The consideration of
the matter in question before making our recent
irreyOcable decision. IT has been the dream OF
our life to make THE TRIBUNE u thoroughly free
press, devoted to the collection aud dsfensaton
Of the fullest intelligence, with the ireest and
most truthful comments thereon. Aud in this
effort, notwithstanding our many shortcomings,
we hope to have not entirely failed. But the
country ia Involved in war for hec very exist
euce--a lfc-and-death strugrle--aud We find
that the public safety imperatively reqnses the
tOrbearance or pOstp0Demeat Of discussions and
criticisms with regard 70 the conduct Of the war,
which we shall not practice with reference 10
other subjects. Besides, the cruel, wicked 10
justice with which we have been treated Nth re-
! gard 70 the battle Of Bull Ron has convinced us
that we cannot indulge in criticisms on Military
mistakes and iucapacties without being accused
of causing the very disasters to avert winch we
have labOred aud dared. We, therefore, shall
heDcelorth simply narrate the movements OF
the Union armies, so for as we are ut

judgment of our readers or reserylng them for
time at which they can be INDUCED without
possibility of weakening the needed confidence
in our military leaders.

THE NEW LEVY,

A new cal ia made upon this State for a large
number of troops. We do not believe that aoy
Encouragement can do more than delay the
recruiting of any number tbut may be called for.
But if a few simple things are attended to ut
the outset, the men Will be obtained IA fact az
wanted and ther efficiency wi,l be secured. In
the first place, men should be quaFtered aud sub
sisted the moment they are enlisted and have
passed medical inspection, instead If requiring
tie officers to support them until they have
raised a company. The medical inspection can
aud should 10 low Immediately upon eni'tmeot,
and the doctors certificate should ehtite the re-
cruit to be supported at the public expense.
The Uuited States should muSirr the men nto
service as fat Gs twenty presented, AMI thus
bring them under strict discipline. OF course,
tie personal influence Of thuse desiring 20 be
officers must be u.ed in procuring men; but
every officer should before receiving his comuiis-
sion be. ,ubrcied to Ra exaInn tion a. ~ hrs

feel Themselves compotent to pass sach an exam
iua,ioa, they should not undertake. tO raise
troops. If after raising them they fail to pass
examination, other officers eau be selected, but
the pryutrs will remaiD.
Attention to these anl perhaps few other
simple details will insure the prmpt recruiting
OF efficient regiments. Aud yet We aIo bOpud 10
say that, mised by false statements, the autnOri-
ties at Washington haze accepted many reg'-
ments from this city which exist OGiy uP"n paper

Onr correspondent, who was on the field
throughout the battle Of Bull Run. states that it
WAS there evident that Beauregard was informed
IN advance of every part OF the plan of attack.
For examples Col. Rich HARRISON was directed to

WHAT THEY THINK or GEN. PATTERSON.
II is sad by gentleman who left Harpers
Ferry a. 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon that the
strongest feeling prevailed there against Gen.
Patterson amoUg the soldiers, whom he has
accused Of being unwilling to proceed because
their term Of enlistment bad expired. We have
GOOD authority for saving that Gen, Patterson
rejected the services of Indiana and Pennsyl-
yaoia regiments who offered for ten days be
yond the period of enlistment, or until rctn-
forcements should arrive.

The report that Gen. Lee has gone to West.
ern Virginia to take command of the remains Of
