MILITARY ITEss.-The following para
graphs we find in the Indianapolis papers
of yesterday:
The both regiment now numbers a66
men- Under the energetic Dol. Durham
they soon viii be ready to march.
The 51st Inaiana, Col. Streight, was yes
terday marched to the Armory and received
all the equipments necessary for the march,
to make which they are already ordered.
Corporal Gabriel Swiehart, Thomas Ken
nedy, Joseph Diekey and - Reynolds, Of
the ] 9th Regiment, were taken prisoners on
the Potomac some days ago. They crossed
the river in skif, got within the rebel
picket lines, and paid the penalty of their
imprudence with the loss of their liberty.
The Lafayette Journal of the 9th
instant says: Col Fitch's regiment is under
marching orders, and is expected through
here on Friday or Saturday on their way
to Kentucky. It numbers now nearly 1000.
Capt Harriss battery, which left this
city some days ago for Kentucky, is furnish
ed with the Parrott rifled cannon, which
"tears things" at three miles. The battery
is fully equipped in every respect.
CAPTAIN RABB PRIsoNER.-A private
letter received in this city yesterday from
J Missouri, states that Captain Rabb of the
Indiana Artillery, and four other officers
were taken prisoners few days since neal
Leayenworth. We think there must be
| some mistake about this, as we have had
no accounts of either the rebels or our owl
forces being near Leavenworth. We hope
at least, that the writer of the letter has
| been misinformed.

The Right Man for the Right Place.


It is stated in New York paper that
Governor Morton Of Indiana is to be APP
pointed Major General, and to take the
command in Kentucky. This appointment
would greatly revive the confidence of the
country, especially tie West, now much
impaired by the inefficient management
which has wasted the fall campaign in Ken
lucky. Gov. Morton has demonstrated his
capacity for this command, by his effective
service in the war; and the unfortunate
failures of so many of those whose militia
ry education was accepted as sufficient evil
dence of capacity, have prepared the public
mind to look rather to proof of general SUI
perior ability, and of the natural qualities
for command, for the right man to lead our
armies, than to regular education, which of
itself can never carry man beyond routine
duties, and which has so signally failed in
this war. In Governor Morton the coun-
try would also have a General in whose
loyalty and zeal for the prosecution of the
war it would implicit confdence.-C On
ctnndti Gazette.

BY our correspondence from Camp NeVin,
KY, Gen. McOook's headquarters, it will be
ssen shat bridge of q hundred feet span,
on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad,
which was burned by the rebels last sum-
mer. and the rebuilding of which was al
most completed, has again been burned by
q small number Of rebel cavalry, within six
miles Of Gen. McCook's lines, which were
Illuminated by the blaze. This will cause
another delay in the grand advance of our
army in Kentucky, while this bridge is re-
bull! at the Governments expense. Doubt
less the bare creek where the bridge was,
viii now be guarded with the utmost vigil
lance. 4 stable is never so Theoretically
locked es after the mare is stolen Cinctgs-
Rad Gazette.
II the facts in this case are as stated by the
Gazette, somebody needs cashiering, and
until Gen. McOook fastens the responsibility
on some subordinate, the people will re-
gard him as the man. That an army OF
0,GO0 men, making every preparation for
al advance movement, should permit the
rebels to approach within the shadow of its
tents and burn bridge on which they had
been laboring for months, is so monstrous g
piece Of negligence, that language fails tc
characterize it as it deserves. When are
officers to be called to account for theil
carelessness or want of ability7 In all th'
Disasters that have befallen our arms so far
Hnobody is to blame,'' and so long as no on
is to blame, SO long we may expect disas
tiers to thiclen, until the people become dis
couraged, and cease their endeaVors to pu
down the rebellion.

for aggressive movements, are highly salts

be soon made. In fact, it must be, or the
Intention to fight at all until next Spring,
must be abandoned. Within month"; the
fall rains will make roads in Virginia almost
impossible in the ordinary intercourse be-
tween villages and neighborhoods; certainly
they will be useless-tor the movement of
great army such as is under command Of
Gen. Mcclellan The number of men whom
he may and probably viii lead towards Rich.
mond, is sufficient TO effect the conquest of
the whole South. IT is said, upon what we
deem to be good authority, that 243, 900 "a.
tons are daily issued, and that leaving
ing Washington fully guarded, the Govern.
mcnt can launch against the enemy loo, 900
effective troops OF cavalry and artillery
there is an abundance The leader OF this
host is yet untried. He has proved his ahil-
ity to organize and discipline; but can he
command? This question he will answer
within fortnight; and upon the waysin
which the answer reads, the welfare and
unity Of the Republic depend. We are de-
vout bcl;eversin his success - Chicago Tri-
