TIE SUBORDINATES IN THE DEPARTMENTS AT
WAsnINGToN.--We publish in another column
an enthusiastic letter about Quartermaster
General Meigs We have no disposition to dis
pute the truth of the statement. On the con-
trary, we are glad to find that General Meigs is
so Jealous and upright an officer. We would
not detract one iota from his public character,
or from that of any other officer of the govern
ment AT the same time we hold that all the
trouble that has arisen, and all the instructions
to the progress Of our arms by land and by
sea- have been owing to the subordinates in the
War and Navy Departments These men have
proved, some of them, traitors to the cause of
the Union and others unfit for their positions
from incompetency.
We are in the midst of terrible rebellion
and great war, and the jog-trot sort of men,
who might answer well enough in peace, will
not suit the present emergency. If the govern
ment appoint young generals in the field-such
as Mcclellan, Fremont and Rosecrans-
for the same reason they ought to
appoint young, energetic officers as
subordinates in the departments, for they are
the men to whom is intrusted the duty of sup
plying the army and navy with men, money,

government The magnitude of the stake in
volved holds the world in an attitude of breath
less expectation. Like the duel of old between
the h'orati and Curiatii, hostile armies, which
were about to precipitate themselves in deadly
shock against each other suspend their action and
remain silent witnesses of the scene. All other
wars become paralyzed and impossible in the
presence of tremendous conflict like this
Having such drama to offer to the inspection
of the curious, it is of course not to be wondered
at that we should muster an audience in which
foreign Princes and rival candidates for thrones
figure as plentifully as mushrooms.

Our ROYAL AND FOREIGN MILITARY VIsrrERs-
The struggle in which we are engaged has not
merely engrossed the attention of other nations,
but is daily bringing to our shores numbers of
distinguished visitors, anxious to become spec
tators Of a contest which has had no parallel in
the history of the world. The arrival of Prince
Napoleon, the cousin of the French Emperor
and second heir to his throne, was set down by
the quidnuncs to motives of personal interest
1t would be more just to ascribe it to the curl
osity which, as military man, he naturally feels
in war waged under conditions entirely excep-
tional, and presenting so many features of novel
ty to an eye accustomed to the scientific govern
ment and strict discipline of European armies
The visit of the Prince de Joinvile, though
having for its object the placing of his son at
our Naval Academy. has no doubt been also in
nuenced in regard to time by the events now
transporting here. The fact of his being ac-
companied by his nephews, the Due de
Paris and the Due de Charities, confirms
this impression. These young men are
the sons of the late Due d'Orleans, and
the eldest is consequently one of the pretcndents
young men in coming here has, however, no
more reference to their own interests than that
of Prince Napoleon. Although the history of
their family presents many remarkable turns of
good and bad fortune, they are not simple
enough to imagine that out of our troubles there
are likely to arise for them chances of regaining
the positions they have lost. They are actuated
by just the same feeling which brings among
us from Russia Prince Liebcnhof from
Prussia Prince Salm-Salm, from Spain Gen
eral Pianos, and from England Colonel Lord
Adolphus vane Tempest and Sir John Murray,
the latter of whom is serving in the federal
army. Of some of these distinguished person
ages we have already published biographical
notices Of the remainder, similar sketches
will be found in our columns to-day.
The desire to witness our republican institu-
tions, tested under conditions of internal strife
and military vigor, is sufficient to account
for the presence Of these eminent persons,
without seeking to invest them with political
motives. The spectacle is no ordinary one, and
may never again be witnessed. The issue of
this contest will decide whether our republican
system possesses the elements of durability, or
| whether 1t is perishable. like other forms Of

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE INsURREerIoN.-When
the American Revolution of l776 broke out
there existed in France the most despotic mon
archy in the world. Yet France favored the
celonists in their struggle against the oppressive
authority of Great Britain, and the French peo-
pie gained a new idea by the example Of revo-
luton in the New World, which not long after
wards developed itself in their own great Revo-
luton, which swept away that kingdom and in
augurated a new era in the history of France.
In the same manner we now find England giving
support to the insurrectionsts insthe present
struggle, although the latter have nothing like
the cause for rebellion that the old colonists
had. The moral encouragement which England
has extended to this causeless and unprovoked
uprising of the South against the authority Of
the federal government is perfectly anomalous
when we consider the nature of her anteoedents
For thirty years she agitated against slavery.
