but who set both aside when they interfere with

SToRNING FoRrIFicArIoxs-The New York
World, speaking of the policy of rushing upon
Entertainments, says: $50 tar our leading Gene
rails have refused to adopt this mode of fighting
for the simple reason that il would entail the Ger
tain destruction OF the army that triel IT, The
whole secret OF the matter is that the use of rfed
muskeIs and cannon have made the attack by
column on an intrenched army obsolete 1t was
terrible thing TO storm intreuchments even
when the smooth bore musket in vogue, but
ball from them would not kill or seriously
wound at a greaser distance than one hundred
yards. But the rifed musket now in use will kill
at distance of eleven hundred yards, so that the
risk OF death is at least FIVE times greater in 4
storming party to-day than it ten years ago,
because the soldiers are under deadly ire for
eleven hundred instead of one hundred Yards"

ssDefcnsc or Quartz master vajen.

The Journal publishes column in defense of
Quartermaster VAJES, but not word in justf
cation of the censure of the Congressional com
mittee. who, from the testimony, were comp PEELED
to question the fidelity with which he had per-
formed his duties The committee heard the
testimony of only few witnesses. They had no
personal or political prejudice. and probably not
one Of them had even personal acquaintance
with Gen. VAJEN, yet such was the character of
the evidence, they were forced to say that in his
case there was an unpardonabe eagerness to make
the msfortunes OF the nation the source of person
al aggrIndzement. And no disinterested person
can read the testimony without concurrng in this
conclusion OF the committee. Notwithstanding
this verdict of committee appointed by its own
political friends and having no possible motive
to judge General VAJEN unjustly or harshly the
Journal is willing to become the apologist OF one
who is thus convicted of taking advantage of our
national difficulties TO enrich himself That is
the Republican organs idea OF public AMI private
morality. Probably fellow feeling makes them
wondrous kind.
We should not have referred to the Defense
of Quartermaster VAJEN" if he had not lied about
US to shield his own short comings 1t is true
we had no personal malice in exposing the NAL
administration Of his office We did il upon the
testimony of responsible citizens, who could not
be induced to commit perjury even TO redress
personal wrongs. General VAJEN has no po-
litical or social influence in this community
the remo,est idea OF making political CAPT
tai by exposing his prostitution of the Quarter
masters Department to advance his personal in
terests
General vAJES knows that he lies when he
saws that gave him hints 10 the effect that
we Gesired from him a contract, or contracts, out
of which We could make money Ii We ever
said anything to him upon the subject it was only
in censure of his populations
but enough for the present. We congratulate
General VAJxS upon the astonishing Improvement
he has made in orthography and composition since
he was made Quartermaster General Read his
communication in the Journal yesterday, and
then the following letter. which is addressed in
bis Ova handwriting 10 firm in this city, which
we copy yer batim. We reproduce it not only on
account OF its literary pecuiarities. but TO show

Mir EnrroR:


 While perusing the columns of the Gazette the other day, was completely astounded, and Hnust say chagrined to find language used, by what Nthe editor styled a highly respectable citizen, so derogatory to the spotess character of the noble, brave shd patriotic sons of the gallant state of the wast-MissOuri. Language, which coming from any other source would convey to the mind of the reader the conviction that it's author debased in chaNcter and treacherous in heart. You can re>~a mans character in his language, that medi- uuN through which he gives form and expression to all his ideas, and even all the workings of his na ture It is the characteristic of a mans education and raising And while would deprecate all at tempts at, and denounce to the world in execra- tiouq leud and earnest, the who would endeavor to create enmtv and jealousy between the citizens of different states ill Confectionery; between men bSund bv the sacred ties of friendship and brotherly love; between men engaged m the same noble and holy cause, and fighting Tor the same ensign of their lofty aspirations. And while would avoid all discussions, either civil orpotical, vet, I must say to the public, although i'll your midst f!at the man who utters such sentiments and all who entertain such jews as treacherous at heart is the wild Comanche Indian, or the wild Ranchoros, of the Mexican chapparel, who shea.hed his knife in the heart of man and mostens its blade with the blood of his victim. They need but the orn6dllnty 10 tear down our glorious new flag, for which Missourans have fought and died, and which, in the guisc of friends they pretend to love and honor, and rample it beneath their unhaowed feet. They are adders in the grass. Who but naturally depgaved and degraded man would speak <uch abusive words of his kindred and his country Then? Who but jealous and blaekhearted man would slauder those who have exposed their lives to nrxp.ct him in his lazy dignity? When the life of one brave Missouran were worth ten thousand such as his, WAo, but a coward and traitor to his country, would dare to give utterance to such 1yorGs in the face of an offended and nsulted peo nlc when he knows it, but widens the gulf that now lies between the two states and creates the bitterest feelings of enmity and hatred between tbeir citizens? What government can stand when Ler people are divdedl None! And now brand tbat respeetabe citizen a coward, traitor and n liar. I challenge him to prove his ungenteman- 1y assertions. Who deserve more praise than Mis- so,ri ,Ilsl Have the Arkansians done all and the Missourians nothing, that they must be anathema- t;sea in such, & manner!
