The People C.n for v,ror.

1t would not be profitable, and We have no
desire to disguise the fact, that the Administra.
ton has in prosecuting the war exhibited great
want of vigor. The members of the Cabinet,
had they opened their eyes to public sentiment,
instead of allowing their minds to be occupied
with idle dreams Of the Presidency, would have
discovered that they did not come up to the
standard of popular feeling, in preparing for
and prosecuting the war. The Manassas failure
has, however, caused the turning of . new leaf
in this respect, and the people now have reason
to expect as they will most assuredly demand
vigorous measures. There must be no half way
work; no more philosophizing; no tender. footed
ness, and no grand schemes of false economy
about this business in the future. 1t requires
men and money to put down the rebellion. The
work cannot be accomplished by kindness, or
hair splitting about contrabanda. The capital.
lists have furnished the money and the country is
offering the men. The Administration must
take these and conduct the war upon war prin-
ciples to a speedy. conclusion. This is what the
country has demanded all along. 1t is what is
demanded now, and it will be satisfied with
nothing less. So much by way Of an introduc.
ton to the following resolution adopted at
meeting of New York bankers, which had voted
money to the Government:
"On motion of Mr.. w. A. Booth, il was unau.
tnoisty resolved, That this meeting, in assuming
the grave responsibility of furnishing means to
sustain the Government in this important crisis,
beg leave respectfully to express to the President
of the United States, its confident expectation
that the Government will, wittom respect to partv
or personal considerations, conduct its affairs in
every department Of administration as to insure
vigor integrity, economy and efficiency, to the tr.
umphant termination of the war"
We have in this resolution full, clear and
candid expression Of the sentiments OF the loyal
people Of this country, and to disregard this ex.
preston would be criminal in the extreme. The
President will not disregard it. The people
may therefore confidently look, from this time
forward, for "vigor, integrity, economy and Ell.
cheney to the triumphant termination of the
war."-Cin. Gazette.

Complaints exist, and are becoming frequent
and loud, that regimsntal officers are incompe.

not promptly paid, and that they are suffering
in health because their sanitary condition is not
duly cared for. We have made careful inquiry
upon these points, and are satisfied that, while
there ia too much cause for these complaints, the
fault and the remedy are mainly with the soldiers
themselves. Let every regiment Of volunteers
take heed and secure for three OF its officers
men of the highest grade Of qualifications, and
as general rule, all will 60 we'll with it. These
officers are the Colonel, the Quartermaster, and

the reason why some regiments have not been

Colonel would promptly dismiss such ignorance

decree OF drum head court. As to inferiority
and insufficiency of ratons, doubtless the Com

lous wrong, but the fault generally lies at the
door of a lazy, incompetent or dishonest quar-.
ter.master. The proof of this is seen in the
striking fact, that ofttimes while one regiment
is poorly supplied with food, another, drawing
its rations from the same source, has daily
surplus which it exchanges for fresh vegetables
and other comforts, and even occasional luxu.

neglected matter, the health of the troops, al.
