INTOxICATION IN THE ARMY.

There is too much reason to fear that the de-
moralization Of the army by intemperance has
| reached q far more fearful ex ent than is generally
| supposed, or than admits of any exteuuation or
apology. In the city of Washington especially
is this sad evil apparent, though enough of it has
been in this city while it was the rendezvous for
the various regiments We regret to say that in
Washington, however, intoxication is by no means
confined to the rank and file of the army. Off

We have just had a melancholy illustration of
