CONNEcrICUT, Feb, 4. 1852,



The Springfield Republican learns that
serious complaints are received of the treat,
ment Of the City Guards, Company + of the
Massachusetts tenth regiment, by their officers.
The conduct of the officers is represented to be
actually cruel, imposing needless and shameful
sufferings upon the men, until they have been
exasperated to a state of feeling little short of
actual mutiny.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The quar.ermaster Of the Ira Harris cavalry,
who had charge of the transportation of about
10 horses belonging to the regiment, has been
arrested at Baltimore for trading off the ami
mails, and replacing them with stock not worth
ten dollars ahead. He has been sent to Fort
MeHenry.

THERE has been much complaint of thOs

THERE has been much complaint OF those
who lead the army and manage the war; and
there may be some reason for 1t. But would
it not be well to turn attention in some other
directions, and consider whether some other
application OF querulous criticism would not
be quite as just. We Will by no means under
take to say that our military operations could
not have been more energetic and successful.
Neither is it our purpose to find fault with the
disposition to complain of them. If com
plant should be entirely suppressed, somr-
thing worse might come in place Of it. 1t is
not a very dangerous amusement, on the
whole, although sometimes very annoying TO
those whom it touches.
Gen. Mcclellan has right to claim more
fol bearance and candid appreciation than he
gets from some earnest and restless people,
ia and out of congress. 1t is not yet time to
make up judgement against him any more
than to crown him with laures. Let US wait pa
tiently awhile longer, There may be good rea-
son for restessness and complaint, but it seems
to us that no men connected with any depart

men and we should say many OF them.
They have not done their duty by the coun-
try. They have very blamably neglected 10
bring forward and complete intelligently the
measures necessary 10 provide means tor
carrying on the government And in their
discussion of measures for taxation they seem
to be quite unequal 10 their business; but
they are not unequalsto the very disTeputable
business of planning to break down the bill to
abolish the ranking privilege, by means of
quiet disagreement between the two houses.
Congressman have no right to complain
that the army moves slowly, while their own
work remains uudone. or at least, while that
part of it remains undone that should have
been completed months ago.

FIRE IN ATHoL.-The peg shop Of Cakes,
Wilder & Co., situated about mile from the

by fire on Monday, Jan. 27th. The fire was
discovered inside while the wOrkmen we're at
dinner, and no attempt was made to eXtinguish
it until the arrival Of the engines, in the hope
that it might make but little Roadway il the
building remained closed But the flames
male such progress as to cause the total de-
struclon OF the shop. Hardly any machinery
was saved, but the water.wheel, valued at
about 500, was preserved unhar;ned by the
efforts of the firemen. The loss is estimated
at $500, which is in part covered by an insur-
ance of 500 by the Filchburg Mutual 1nsur-
ance Company Greenfield Gazette.
