tice:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE Army,
WAsHISaroN, Sept 10, 1862.
Msj. Gen. Fover, commanding the Depart
ment Of North Carolina, has called attention to
an article In the New York Evening Post O.,
September 4, In which is published the num-
bers and position Of bis troops. He remarks
that the New York papers always reach the
enemy 10 few days alter publication, and thai
such Information from our friends 10 more ipju
rious than that gained by the rebel spies.
The Newspaper press 10 earnestly requested
to make no publication In regard 10 the mum.
hers and movements Of our troops.
No information could be more desirable 10
the enemy tbah this Such publications have
done immense injury to our cause.
II. W. HALLEck,
General.in Chief
What the editors CT the New York Pos,
did, was to publish an account Of the regi.
ments at Newbern, with their numbers, as
they existed some days previous, at the date
Of their information. Before this Post could
possibly reach the rebels, another interval
must have elapsed, and in the meantime the
rebels were accurately posted from day to day
by their admirable system Of spies. 1t is alb
surd to suppose that the information given by
the Post could be Of the least use to them.
The truth is, some OF the military gentle.
men want scapcgoats for their own mistakes,
and find the newspapers very convenient for
thai. purpose.
I1re has been great deal Of nonsense
aSxt this matter Of giving information
through the press,
For instance: when our army moved, in
March last. from Alexandria to Fortress Mon.
roe, filling the whole Potomac with transports,
in the face and eyes Of rebel population on
both sides Of the river, the papers here were
not allowed to mention the fact that the army
was going to the Peninsula, lest the enemy
might thereby find II out!
So the arrival of troops here is contraband
news, when everybody knows that no regiment
comes here, or leaves, without its being COM
municated at orce to the enemy by their
friends here, who are both vigilant and nu.
merOus.
The ostrich, hiding his head in the sand
with his whole body exposed is quite as sa
pient as the military gentlemen who suppose
that the enemy cannot find out what they arr
doing, if the newspapers will only be silent.
