Gunboat Fleet for the Ohio.

Gov. Dennison, Mr.. Gurley, and the rest
of the Ohio COMMITTEES. had long inter
view with Capt. Fox, Assistant Secretary
of the Navy on Saturday. They repre-
sented the exposed condition of Ohio and
Indiana along the Kentucky border, and
said that no military force, however large
and well managed, could adequately pro-
tect the whole border from such incursions
as the recent one IN Indiana, which tend to
keep up constant alarm, and to feed the
hopes end encourage the activity ofthe Se-
cessionists Throughout Kentucky. They
found the Navy Department very cordial
in CO. operating in their views. 1t was a
greed on oil hands that the Government
could not afford to permit the rebels to
gain the immense moral effect in encourag
ing their people. and stimulating them to
renewed efforts, which these guerilla inva-
sions wero certain to give them. They
must on no account be permitted to believe
they can invade Northern. soil with impu-
effeetual for guarding the border as an ef-
ficient gunboat force on the Ohio river
After full conference, therefore. the Navy
Department promised the Committe as
many gunboats for service exclusively on
the Ohio river as they wanted. Ten small
boats, drawing only z feet, have already
been selected and inspected by the agents
of the Macy Department. The Secretary
promised that heavy force should at once
be set to work to cut these boats down.

Raw Regiments and Raw onicers:.

Do our military authorities know that
BY devoting recruiting efforts to the, raising
Of new regiments. officered mostly by in
experienced men, they are putting the vol
untcers where they can be of no service
in this great emergency of the country?--
1t is taking men out of the service, who
if sent to the old regiments would be avail
able at once. sOnc recruit for an old regi-
ment is worth two for new; and for ser
vice during the next three months, We may
safely say he is worth any number, - the
new regiments. And to make men with
out military service field officers or captains.
at this tins. when half a million Of men
have been learning the trade Of war for a
year. is simply fooling away the men,. be-
sides gross Injustice to those who have SER
ved. As a specimen Of this folly, we
may mention a three months regiment
which was raised in Ohio on the spur of
the jackson panic. and which is now guard
ing itself at Cumberland because its, Col
onel never knew anything Of military until
he was made q Colonel, and has not been
able to acquire much since. The regiment
was largely made up Of young men who
had acquired the drill in amateur military
companies. BY virtue of this and an eff
cient Lieutenant Colonel, the only militia
ry field officer. the regiment is well drilled
in company and battalion msnouvers, and
is anxious to see some fighting peforo their
time is out. but the Colonel's reply TO
requisitions is that the regiment is not yet
fit for service.
Yet on the merit Of this three months
performance in keeping his regiment ont
of service for his own incompetency. this
Colonel will probably claim and receive
a permanent Colonclcy. We have no
unkindness for him, and suppose him to be
o good man and competent lawyer for a
couhtfyssprscticezs Nc admit, without
knowing much about il, thai he is an, ex
cellent gentleman and a patriot. but we are
obliged 70 speak out against the military
foo1ing which sacrifices men and the cause
by appointing officers without experience.
