Waste OF AMMUNITION.-In the course Of the
y opera tions Of the present war it has not unire-
quently occurred that important advantages
have been lost by the exhaustion of the supplies
of ammunition This has been owing partly to
imperfect preparations on the part of the Ord
nance Bureau, rs well as TO ignorance OF the
rules which should guide officers of artillery in its
expenditure. la small skirmishes il appears
that between three and four hundred rounds
per battery are often expended, the fire gene
rally averaging, and sometimes exceeding, one
round minute per gun, whilst in general
engagements batteries have been known to ex-
pend all their ammunition in little over an
hour and u half The attention Of General
Burnside has been called to these facts, and he
has issued IN order laying down stringent
regulations for the guidance of commanders Of
batteries.
At short range, except when canister 10
used, the fire must not exceed, and that only at
critical moments, one round from each gun in
two minutes. At all other times one roand in
four or six minutes is all that is TO be permit.
ted. When the campaign allowance Of two
hundred and fifty rounds per gun--generslly
held TO be sufficient for a genera, action and
the skirmishes that presede its exhausted il
induces the suspicion that this reckless expen-
ditue is prompted by q desire on the part Of
the officer in command Of the battery to quit
the field. To guard against this batteries will
no longer be allowed to quit their positions
under such plea, arrangements being made to
keep them supplied from the rear. The
further our army advances from its water CON-
munications the more necessary these precau-
tions become We hail the issuance of the pre-
sent order as an evidence that Gen. Burnside is
determined not to fail in his efforts to reach
1 Richmond by any mischances that foresight can
! guard against.

We hope before our legislature vote to L.
galize the suspension Of specie payment. by
the banks, that an inquiry will be ma !c into
the matter. Of an attempt to control the
finances OF the government, and to depreeiate
the value Ct Treasury notes, We under
stand many Of the banks refuse to take these
government bills, and that bankers are pur-
chasing them at a discount This looks like
a systematic attempt to dictate terms to the
government, and ass to ruin it, credit, if it
can dos 50 that the banks may shave its paper
This Is wicked and unpatriotic wo,k which
we hope will not be submitted to.
If banks want their backslidings healed,
let them continue to give their influence to
