A CORRECTION.

To me Editor Of The " y Tribune.
SIR In your special dispatch from Washington Of
August g. think your correspondent unintentionally
does great Injustice to both the "feld officers" and
" line officers" of the lst New-Jersey Regiment, when
be says that should Col. Montgomery be made Brig
adier-General, there Uould be general stampede
Of he line officers. ahO hare hatie confidence IN The
other feld o6cers, &c 1t is my pleasure TO have the
personal acquaintance of all the line and field officers
in this reeimeui and think can safely say braver
set Of officers be found in any regiment yet muster
ed into service and the best of good feeling has pre-
vailed between them all since they first met a Trenton
aud gave themselves for the canso of the Union.
VI TIE held Officers have ever been in battle
with the exception Of Major Hatfield who served a
private through the with Mexico, unless their

and waiting there for five hours in good order for
orders from some one competent to give them, and
then returning in good order rear guard TO AIng.

be Is known TO be deficient In the other or both
qualiues The field officers OF this regiment are men
of high moral character and good COMMON sense who
have catered into this contest with the highest pa
tfiotic impulses, and presume either OF them will
willingly resign their positions whenever such IA

line Ooes If they prove incapable before the mill

The complaints against officers should be very care.
folly received, for when was at Washington a few
weeks since, met there, as have elsew here, rebels
Ia Union clothing trying TO breed dissatisfaction in the
ranks by calling In question the fitness Of commanding
officers. Not OF these same scamps dare witness
battle mile distant iherefrom.. In this " War for
the Union, advocate accepting the services Of all
officers who have courage good strong sense,
and the good will Of the men under them, trusting to

PROGRESS OF MgpIcINs IN JAPAx.-The In

''How earnest is the desire for improvement

the deep rooted prcjudices against touching
and mutilating a dead body. the au TIL critics al
last gave way to the much pressed request of
the Dutch physician, and permitted the dis
section of Il criminal who had been beheaded
for some great crimes. Yet in order 10 pre-
vent any possible popular demonstration, the

liability of taking the fatal disease Farther
