ONE EfFEor OF THE New ORpERs-The
orders Of the War Department directing officers
on leave to return Immediately to their COM
1t will bring to their stern duty many whose
object in obtaining furloughs was to secure pro-
motion in the old regiments or high commits
sions in the new, or who were perhaps wire
pulling for members of Congress and the next
elections. These officers will now have to fight
without promotion, and to earn preferment on
the ield-the proper place for soldier to win
it. Instead of appointing such politicians to
higher commands than they now hold, either In
the old regiments or in the new, it would be
better to get rid of them and give their places
to good sergeants and other non-commissioned
officers who had distinguished themselves in
battle On many fields the fate OF the day has
been saved by the hard fighting of the rank and
file, and In other cases great disaster has
men, in despite of the ignorance or stupidity
of the officers. What might not have been
achieved had the officers been only equal TO
the task they assumed? Let us have no
moro political generals or political subordi-
nate officers. Let the troops be led by men
who are true soldiers in courage and skill, and
they will never fail to give good account Of
themselves. There are many good officers who
distinguished themselves in the Mexican war,
who would now bring their military experience
to bear for the benefit Of the country, were not
the places which they ought to fill occupied by
men who do not know as much about military
matters as many Of the priyates they under
take to lead. This ought to be reformed
altogether. NapoleOn's best generals were
raised on the battle field from non-commis-
stoned officers, and even from the ranks. We
cannot initiate better example.

THE DIsUNIoN TRIBUNE AND Our Army
The Tribune complains that it is almost ex-
cluded from our armies, and that our soldiers
will not read it, This is candid admission Of
a fact which we have repeatedly asserted. The
soldiers of our armies in the field understand
precisely the reasonable character and dlsunion
tendency of the Tribune, and will not read it
any more than they would eat poison. Our SOL
dicrs ought to be excellent judges Of what is
and what is not patriotic newspaper, since
they are the first to suffer from newspaper tre.-
son; and they reject the Tribune unanimously.
Hardly soldiers letter comes from the camps
without significant threat Of what the army
would do with Massa Greeley il lie dared to
appear among them. Sam. Hiikeson, the Tri-
bune's own correspondent, wrote 10 his employ
ers, from McClellans army, that they had
stood between American soldiers and their
sacred right to be reinforced" and that they
were therefore doomed men, Does not
Greeley know that the blood OF our soldiers,
which he has caused TO be needlessly shed at
Manassas and before Richmond crios out, like
Abel's, from the ground! Does ne wonder why
our soldiers, like the public generally, will not
read the 1Tituaey --@ -. :.

REMEDY FOR AGUE AND FEVER.
Too much cannot be said in praise of the FOREST

complete success in this disorder, and where they

furious effects behind as is the case when quinne,
or medicines containing quinne, tsken.
have known many who have had their constitutions
almost ruined by taking medicines containing
quinine. The Forest Wine and Pills cannot harm
child. and BY taking them occasionally through
the sickly seasons. they will prevent attack from
ague and fever, and other disorders which are
common in new countries.
Reader, if you should be attacked by ague and
fever, do not trife with your health BY taking
qunue other injurious medicines, but send
directly for the Forest Wine and Pills. and We
will guarantee speedy and permanent cure.
Daring the prevalence of ague and fever last
spring and summer, almost every day brought
some new proof of their great efficacy in this dis
order, and, as far can learn, they never have
failed in breaking the disorder, and restoring the
patient to vigorous health. 2lw2
