Surrender OfEEarper's Ferry.

The surrender Of Harper's Ferry is the
subject of much comment both among the
press and the people of the country 1t
is alleged that Col Miles confessed on his
death bed that the act was one of treachery
that he had surrendered to the rebels
after an understanding, and of course for
price. This Col. Miles was one of the
officers who disgraced himself at Bull
Run. On that occasion he was drunk,
and absolutely re used to move with the
reserve which he was then commanding, to
the relief of the main body Of the army,
struggling with such great odds against
it, on that bloody occasion. 1t is main
tanned by the friends of Miles, that the
evacuation of Maryland Heights compel
ed the surrender of Harper's Ferry. BE
that as it may, the disgrace is still the
samc-the country bas been betrayed, and
the energy, and patience, and devotion Of
the people put to the rack once more
in being compelled silently to observe
such transactions, and not being allowed
to express their Indignation, for fear it
might appear that decentralization had
commenced where this Government
looked for its main stay and support
Ever since this war commenced, the
army has been cursed with this class of
men. First, those who were known to
synapathtze with the South, bat who were
supposed to be honorable and chivalrous
men-and upon whom the service depend
ed for success. 1t was maintained before
the public that we could no. do without
such men-that it was necessary to submit
to some Of their pecularties, in order
that the general cause might succeed. a
loyal people were willing to
swallow this-but the fact, that in private
the highest officer Of the Government
frankly expressed the lack of confidence !
in these men, was never allowed to go
before the people. This was suppressed |
the people were not allowed to criticise |
the officer, until The awful crime of his /
treason paralyzed their judgment and their
sentiment, and they could not do other
wise than hear and see in silence. Add |
10 this humiliation the fact that there
ire others in high command, or at least
we're, who were constantly drunk--drunk
ghen the details of their army corps
needed their attention-drunk when the
hour of battle arrived d-drunk when the
,att.e raged-drunk all the time, and yet
hey were continued in position of absolute
power over thousands OF men, allowed to
leal with them for life or death, as the
vhim Of drunken fit dictated, or the
renzy OF the hour suggested. The country
: no longer dumb on these accusations
they are reiterated in the letters of cor
espondents who write from the localities
where the drunken scenes and traitorous
eels occur, and yet We have no reform
Re battle goes on, the defeat Gisgraces
he country-and still the debauch and
he treason are unabated and unrebuked.
God have mercy for the people and
