The Waste OF War.

The Boston Journal has q letter from Pitts
burg Landing, dated April 26th, wherein the
writer says: la1 s-s
SIT is raining hard to day Yet as look
along the river bank, see thousands Of sacks
of meal and barrels Of bread exposed to the
rain. Near by is o quantity of mouldy coffee,
wet in some former shower and poured upon
the ground. Many Of the sacks of meal have
burst by handling, and bushels are wasted
Yesterday I noticed teamster give half
bushel of oats to mule. The animal ate per-
haps four quarts and the remainder was vast
ed. He had had enough oats, or as the farm
ers say, he was cloyed and refused them. 1t is
waste every where. No one thinks of economy.
No one cares to save anything. So from mill
ions Of streams flows the treasure Of the peo-
pie. o, ye thrifty farmers and mechanics of
New England, who are taught to know that If
you take care of the pence, the pounds will
take care Of themselves, who practic economy
as a virtue, that you may have to give 20 him
who needs, one glance at war-at the camps
at the riches trodden in the mire-wasted by
neglect and destroyed ruthlessly-if you could
but see the broken wagons, the dead horses, the
harnesses, saddles, equipments, the tents, bag
gage kicked about, knocked about, stripped, torn,
battered, thrown aside abandoned-you would
raise one universalcry of indignation. But let
me inform you that indignation amounts to
nothing. What does IN irresponsible teamster
care for mules? 1t is his prerogative to thrash
them, to pound them over the head, to cut them
up with his tremendous whip, to bang wagons
over logs and stumps regardless Of consequent
ces. Nobody calls him to account. What does
q soldier detailed from the ranks to carry corn
care if the sack bursts open when he tosses it
upon the ground. Nothing. 1t is not his corn.
He did not enlist to carry coru. What does
Lieutenant care if the men under his command
do waste the stores? He 10 after military glorya
So with the Captain, SO with the Major, the
Colonel, the Brigadier. 1t is not their business
to look after the little details. They have 9TH
er matters in hand. Besides, ever before the
eyes of military commander shines the dag
zlug delusive ight--glory in the field. There
is patriotism at home, but it is modified in the
army. Understand me. Our soldiers, our of.
ficers will fight bravely, heroically, victorious
ly, but underneath all the bravery is the pride,
the desire for renown, which makes men, off,
GERS especially, selfish, jealous; which stiles
patriotism, and which, if not guarded against,
leads to q sacrifice of public interests for priv
ate advancement" sei32 "a
