erroneous. 1t Is true that they were pro.

were entrusted with commands, and 1t Is
unfortunately true, nlso, that thoy were by

Cowardly Surrender.
From the New York World.

From III. New York World.
The most disheartening Of all the
bad news we have recently received.
is not the capture Of our stores, the
loss Of important positions or even
defeats upon the field, but the evil
dence Of decentralization and the
want of pluck or discipline on the
part of some of our troops, shown
BY the repeated surrenders OF
whole battallions and regiments t"
the energy with but little ii anyiight-
ing. Napoleon, in his sixty-ninth
maxim Of war laid down this rule:
There is but one honorable mode
of becoming prisoners Of war. That
is by being taken separately; by
which is meant, by being cut of en-
tirelv. and when we can no longer
make use Of our arms. In this case
there can be no conditions, for honor
can impose none. We yield to an
irresistible necessity"
Judged by this rule. how unmili-
tary and shameful are the surrende1s
of Murfreesboro', Clarkesville, and
some twenty other places in Ten
nessee and kentucky during the last
two months. Nor is the Western
army alone to blame Tho surren
der on the Rappahannock of half
New Jersey regiment to the enemy,
shows that decentralization and want
Of discipline are working their way
to the East as we'll as to the West.
Now this thing must stop. Our ma
tional life depends upon it. Hereaf-
ter, let that company or regiment
that surrenders without deadly fight
take its place upon the roll Of infa-
my in the State whence it comes
Let press, pulpit and platform fame
out the hot indignation of the country
at the dastardly commands that throw
down their arms in the presence Of
an enemy, no matter how superior
in numbers.
We have no faith in proclamations
or policies, stern or otherwise to put
an end to this war, so long AS their
object is the effect upon the enemy
but we do believe most profoundly
in pitiless stern policy toward our
own Generals and troops. Failure.
surrender, want of management or
pluck must not be tolerated under
any circumstances. The six hun
dred thousand men now rushing &"
arms had better stay at home, il
they cannot propose to do any better
than these surrendering, white-liver
! ed heroes, whose feats we are daily
recording
