The field Of battle presented sorry

ever twice in regular battle array, and
many times in the fuctusting fortunes Of

It was covered with dead and wounded.
Where the artillery had taken effect, men
lay in heaps, covering rods Of ground, min
gled in Wild masses Of msngled horses, bro

Detectives.

There are too many of these officors in this
city, at the present time. Or, perhaps, we
should say, too many different sets of detec.
lives; and instead of aiding to bring criminals
Ia Justice, these otherwise highly useful Off.
GERS, really, and often unintentionally, aid the
uulprits TO escape tho hand Of justice. For in.
stance, wo have the detectives of Col. Baker,
connected with the War Department; detec.
tives In connection with the Provost Marsfial's
Office, and detectives in connection with tho
Metropolitan police. Besides these, there are
tho county constables, private detectives, "nig-
gcr catchers," and a little army of other self.
styled detectives, all operating in ono city, each
sett under different leaders and with different
instructions. One party lays u plan to expose
avllainy and bring n rogue to justice. Another
sett of detectives, without any knowledge of
tho plans of tho hrst lay their plan TO entrap
tho perpotratOr of crime. The plans being
entirely different, and both sets OF detectives
being anxious to got ahead of each other, of
courre the plans of both miscarry, the rogue
IL either caught too soon, before evidence has
accumulated 80 rs to convict him, or the scoun.
drel slips through the fingers of 30 many diff.
ierent wire workers and il still at large for
fresh vllainy in another field. We hope the
authorities will consider this matter and take
measures to harmonic the entire secret police
force of the city. An ncalculable amount of
good might result from such move.
