In my last stated that Col. Crocker aud MAJOR
Cassidy of the 93d regiment Of New-fork Nolun'
teers had deserted to the Rebels. or the fact OF
their deseriion there Is scarcely for the shadow
of doubt. They went over TO the enemy deliber'
atelv. Unsuccessful in their attempt to pass the
picket guard at one point, they went TO another
where they induced the guard to allow them to 90
bevond tie prescribed limits. Though told the enc
my were directly in front, they went on, with the
evident intention Of being taken. There are several
circumstances favoring the idea Of desertion. Both
have relatives at Lewinsyille Fairfax Co. Va, aud
though Col Croker rs well no his regiment and MAJ.
/ Carsidy, AS am informed, came from Washington
Co.. " y. their antecedents not such "a TO IN
suire confidence. Yesterday the Rebels zen, mes
sage from the deserlers saying that they We're ps-
oners in The hands of the enemy, end desired that
their persond baggage might DO forwarded TO them
st Richmond No notice will be taken of the COM
mupicatiOn
The sudden death of Lieut.. Wagner Of the Topo-
praphicals "a an event wholly unlocked for. After
his ann had been auputaed he Wa; in a cheerful and
rron,ising condition. understand that subsequent
leeding yas tie immediate cause OF bis death.
II the censorship that las been placed over corre-
spoudents o the press with the army 10 be regarded
Us Indicative of tie energy and vigilance that are to
mark the campaign in all respects, then we have
every reason 10 be hopeful. Il is al undoubIed fact,
However tdst while .he loyal part Of tie Onion are,
50 rLrrtg4a fif ar..tr ava
pelfoclly informed Of the operations Of e army and
Of many OF ts intended movements. We might base
on this fact the suggestion hat some o. the vigilance
which correspondents in The army are made 10 eel,
might properly be turned toward stopping The leks
through which the Rebels obtain their Information
1t is singular fac. that news Of the movements VI
our own army has in then one instance been
derived by way Of Richmond. The restrictions
placed upon correspondents are 30 oompcheneive,
aud 70 much like an indictment drawn by oelc-
brated criminal lawyer, that letter worth tie post
aye cannot be written without violating tie parole
IN fact, there have been frequent glazing viola
ons Of propricty ia the publication Of intelligence,
without .e slightest notice having been takeu Of the
onenee. But the prisoner may at least shake tie
bars aud rattle the chains that restrain him, aud
conclude that the censorship has the merciful feature
Of permitting correspondents 10 fad fault with the
system.
Tie charges brought by tie Hon. Mr. Morrill,, in
