Besides the dispatches we have copied,
there are many others relating to the same
matter, and in addition to all these efforts
by correspondence, the Governor sent mes
sengers no less than four times to follow up
the clothing or find it if lost. The COM
bined efforts of the Governors messengers
and the Generals have succeeded in getting
some of the clothing into the proper hands
at last, and in finding that a large share of
it is ruined somewhere up the Kanawha.-
Mr. Commissary Stones report, which we
published on Wednesday, the 9Th, show
that although unremitting efforts had
been made for weeks to get clothing TO our
men, on the last week Of September he
found them Gin the most destitute condi-
tion as to clothing" They were ain rags,
hats and shoes worthless, and only one, the
18th, supplied with great coags." THIS is
the sum of all that the united efforts of
State and Federal authority coul1 effect with
the impenetrable stupidity OF Western Vir-
ginia Commissariat management IN the way.
General Reynolds last dispatch shows that
something had at last begun to leak in
through the thick barrier, and we have some
hope that by the time the Mountains are a
few feet deep in snow our men viii have a
reasonably comfortable supply of clothing.
just now it happens that the goods bought
by a merchant can go from Cincinnati to
Webster in four days, while those sent by
Government can't get through in less than
feur weeks, and frequently not at all. This
is one of the mysteries of war management
that we hope Gov. Morton's charges viii let
a little light into.
