WHY THE FORWARD MOVEMENT Is DflAhEp'
Army officers declare that it is impossible to make
a decided forward movement uUtl more wagons
have arrived By the 18th Of July, the builders
have contracted to furnish 1000, and 1t Ia claimed
that 70 march with less number is simply out
os the question. Northumberland Meigs
has pressed every mabuiactory into ms service,
from Baltimore to Concord, New-hamPshire.
But he has suffered from the inethclency OF bis
predecessor who was kept in place months too
long. Day after day, we urged upon the men,
bers Of the Admiuisirstioo, privately, the uoPOr-
tsnce Ct placing some nan of Pr"Per capacity at
tho head of the Qusrtermaster's Department
while our public COMMUNICATIONS from Washing
con were filed with nothing but approval OF the
heads Of the Department. Now We are abused
rs man wbo ace whales aud cameh in clouds
through the came speculum-the men in power
simply because We are ont of patience and tell a
small part of the truth.
GEN. PREMoNT's COMMAND.
The command of Major-Gen. Fremont Is mol
definitely assigned. 1t would be. well for the
country If Gen. Patterson were wheeled into
quarters. and his column were given to him.
Such. probably, VIII not be the determination.
He viii ultimately bs placed at the head Of a
western corps, which is to move by laDd-march
and floating batteries TO sweep treason from the
valley of the Mississippi to the Belize. The
vast battlefield of Texas would be fue theater
for the exercise Of bis military genius Hardly
under the observation Of the war Office now, this
is to be one of the most important regions for
the large operations Of the contest.
THE FORCE IN AND ABOUT WASHINGTON.
There are now over $4,000 troops in and
about Washington. counting those on both sides
Of the Potomac, and not counting those who
guard the river opposite TO Leesbufg and beyond.
In making this estimate, We offset the sick
against the recruits, which have, from time to
time arrived. the precise number Of both Of these
classes being next to impossible to reach. There
are sixty -four regiments Of Volunteers, averaging
300 men each, some 1900 regulars, of which
only 35O--fve cOmpanies-are cavalry, and several
hundred District Volunteers,
Thirty-One regiments are from hew.Yorb,
seven from New-Jersey four from Pennsyl-
yauia, Eve from Name, three each from Mich
igan, Connecticut, Massachusetts,, and two from
Ohio, Rhode Islabd Wisconsin, Vermont
Minnesota, and New-Hampshire. New.York
has one, New-HampSbire one, and Pennsylvania
two bctween here aud Point Of Rocks, where
$500 District Volunteers, company of United
States Cavalry ard two batteries are alsO posted.
With 5000 mon it would seem possible to do
something against the enemy now, without wait
ing for the term Of the three months men ~
expire. They do not relish the prospect OF going
homo without having tate Of service in the
field, and will feel no Indictment 10 stay beyoad

soldiers life Is stil 10 be confined to tents and

THE POINT OF DEPARTURE ron THE FORWARD
MOVEMENT.
In speaking Of forward movement yesterday,
We SorbOre from giving any opinions, or from
making any speculations as TO its point Of de-
parture, or its direction Of progress We have
been accused Of marriDg one welaid scheme Of
triumphant achievement, and we do not propose
to rotsrd the capture Of Richmond for on hour
BY any premature disclosure Of what we know
or suspect.
MORE WORTHLESS wAGOSs-MATInAs POINT
The 9th Regiment Of Massachusetts,, which or.
nved last night, has been furnished with the
same worthless wagons as the lat Massachusetts.
