GEN. LEE AND President DAVIS

GEN. LEE AND President DAVIS
The Richmond correspondent OF the
Memphis Appeal writes as follows on the
18th inst: .
The story which has been going the
rounds Of the Northern press in regard
to = disagreement between General Lee
and the President in regard to the plan
Of the campaign is, | am informed, true.
OF course it was ridicuIously magn'tied,
as there never vas any quarrel, aud Ger
tainIy General Lee never, for u moment,
contemplated such a thing as resigoing
and returning to the United States ar:
my.
But the disagreement between them
has been this: While Gen. Lee has all
along urged the ptoprie,y Of IN active,
vigorous, offensive campaign, relying
upon the superior valor Of bis men -
compensate for any want Of numerical
strength, tho President has favored a
strictly defensive policy. It is under
stood that Gen. Johnston and Beauregard
the last named Of whom IS proverbially
prudent and Cautious, 10th concurred
with Gen. Lee. Up to the present time,
however, the administration has over
ruled them, and the result. has been that
the operations Of the Confederate army,
has been limited to defence alene. But
this policy, as | SAID before, is about 10
BE- abandoned, and he next few days
perhaps hours-wi!l witness the inaug.
ura,ioo Of one entirely different. The,
country yet scarcely realizes that we are
ia the midst Of a war-s,ilI less a war
of unparalleled magnitude and ferocity.

Military signals-Interesting Expert
meGts.

Major Myer, Of the army, some months
since announced the discovery by himself
OF new system Of miiitar signals. winch
would, in great measure, revolulionize
the management Of modern forces. The
signals are made by means Of flag attach
ed to q pole, from twelve to sixteen feet
long. The different movements which the
flag made to 20 through represent mum
bels, which in their turn represent num-
bers Of the alphabet. The letters, of
course, are co:2bined into words that lead
out the message. BY the Intervention Of
the numbers, none but the officer who d.
rects the tlagman, and those who have
been previously informed Of the arrange
mcnt OF the s. stem, can understand the
language Of tue flag, which flag is moved
in three directions, to right, lett, and
front This is done by soldiers who are
especially drilled for the purpose, nd
who in the trial managed the bunting with
astonishing accuracy,
For night signals, torches are substitut~
ed for flags; otherwise, the signals are
similar to those made in the day time
All the implements necessary for the ser>
vice can be embraced in small packet,
can be transported from point to point by
a Single man, and be put in readiness for
use in fifteen minutes. The experiments
were made in the noigh6orhool Of Santa
Fe, in the latter part Of April and were
successful in every instance, although un.
even ground was especially select.
ed. Tho first day signals were exchanged
without difficulty and 9n the third i,ay,
b3 the aid Of q small rcpeatlug station, IN
ineligible military conversation was car
ried on bcttwen Old Eort Marcy and Gal,
weston. which are twenty-five miles apart.
IN u few days the War Department of the
United States will receive an official re-,
port of these experiments, when the com
officers of the ditierept regiments
now at the seat of war will, doubtless, be
initiated into the mysteries Of the blsi-
ness.-N. Y. Times.
