R9y- The account Of operations on the
line of the Louisville & Nashville Rail
road. which we transfer to our columns
from the Louisville Journal Of Monday,
is we'll calculated to sadden and sicken
the heart Of all loyal men.
The evidence Of imbecility, if not
worse, on part of the military authorities
in that department, is both palpable and
disgusting. The fact that the list lndl-
ana Regiment was sent to Muldraugh S
Hill to guard the breastworks there with
cannon and no ammunition, would be-
t~ay an utter incapacity in the authorI-
ties, or fixed purpose to sacrifice the
men.
The list left Terre Haute on Christ
mas day, and as in their first campaign
were pushed forward, unsupported, into
the face of largely superior force OF
an enemy flushed with recent victories,
and were thus sent unprovided with the
means of successful resistance. The de-
moralizing effect on this regiment, by
being thus second time sacrificed to
the imbecility of incompetent Generals
can well be imagined.
Is il not time that some of these blum
dering, incompetent and reckless Gen
erals were shot?
