THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

RICHMOND, "a, June 10, 1901.
To the Eiitor Of the Wig:
Your insertion OF my com nuncation of the l2:h inst
encourages me 10 address you again.
Ipresume it is known you that many OF our cavalry
but mperfecy armed that some have pistols and no
sabres, and vce versa It is equally known TO you,
presume that many of infantry over armed some
of Them carrying pistols and bowie knives as well as
muskets and bayoncts, thus resembling Albanians or
Bsshi Bazouks.
1t is manifest that men encountered with variety Of
must be seriously Inconvenience by their weight
and greatly bewildered in their USE and that man armed
with musket and bayonet alone has as much as he can
manage and will effect all that soldier can effect, if lie
Them well.
Now, it occurs to me, that if order promuga.
ted to infantry requiring them to surrender to the MIL
ary authorities their pistols at fair compensation these
pistols could be distributed among the cavalry and thus
the latter of the service would be properly equipped
at least to greater extent than at present-and the
former would be relieved of appendag', which is in
my mind, more injurious to them than otherwise.
Yours respectfully
SOLDIER.

A sign In the Northwest.

The great Northwest begins to find that cannot live
without trade with the South. It's bacon, grain mules,
and horses wiz rot and iie its hands or pass to the
Yankees at their own price, while the whole region will
be scOurged by the Yankee tariff.
The following paragraph in the New York Times tells
Of The wrggng aud twisting of the great HOgOpOlis Of
the West and the Ankee determination to hold Hogop

ur. Vu,.eII,s Letters.

We give this morning several of Mr. Russes letters to
the London Times They present to the European world,
probably for the first time the sentiments of scorn and
contempt and dotestaton prevalent in the South
in regard to the Yankees. There may be some exsgge'
ration in some particulars but in the main, the repre-
seulation is not far from the truth.
These letters make the Yankee editors OF New York
sourm quite az much as the masked batteries of cold
steel rifle cannon at Great Bethel.

ors, and the destruction of material was
not so great but that the recapture would
amply pay. There are about 1000 reb-
els there now, and we could easily match
any increase which a notice Of the Gov
ernment's design would quickly attract.
This enterprise must be achieved soon,
as rebel batteries are fast going up.
3. There is to be a general effective
blockade of the entire Southern coast
The recent purchase of twenty-five YES
sells, in addition to the feet previously
engaged, and the recall of all the vessels
that can be spared from the foreign
squadrons, show that the Government is
in earnest on this subject.
4. Operations on the offensive may be
tried at Fort Pickens. There are now
one thousand men inside the fort, and
nearly as many employed in throwing up
batteries on Santa Rosa island What
ever operations may take place further
north, Gen. Bragg must keep large forces
by him, or else the splendid harbor and
Navy Yard of Pensacola are again ours,
and we dash into Montgomery Itself
This thing may be done in spite Of Gen.
Braggs large forces.
S. Operations viii probably be .om-
menced on the border of the Mississippi.
It is not wholly improbable that the reb-
els may make their first strike in that
quarter, as being now less well defended,
and as aTording some chance of arousing
a secession excitement in Kentucky and
Tennessee. But when these different
points Of attack are developed, it is i'm
possible to say in what direction the dis
tracted counsels of the secessionists will
impal their principal effort. Neither can
the further plans Of the Administration
be now surmised.-B2st9n J5,truaL

HINTS OF THE WAR POLICY

The signs are multiplying not only
that the Administration is determined
upon crushing out rebellion in the shortest
possible time, but that military policy,
some time since definitely arranged, is
soon to be developed in the field. Two
or three points force themselves upon
the reader of the current intelligence, as
follows;
l. 1t is apparent that a powerful force
will be moved down from Pennsylvania
through Maryland to Washington, under
command Of General Patterson. 1t is
said that it will advance in two columns
through Maryland, one down the North
ern Central and the other the Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad. Each will
be ten thousand strong. Another corps
of ten thousand will be stationed at An
napois, in readiness to advance on Bal
timore in case Of hostilitics.
.. The Norfolk Navy Yard will be
retaken, held and fitted up. It is too
valuable to be in the hands of the trait
