their time and means. and got up companies for the
defence of their country, thrown out that they can
nominate who they please to fill their places. See
the corruption in all this Mr.. Editor. Take for ex-
ample, gentleman Of mature age who is renowned
for his intelligence and knowledge of the ordinary
affairs of life and bring him before Military Board
composed of such material as have described, and
ask you, sir, if they are fully competent to judge
as to whether such man ought to have the COM
mand Of men.
Again, suppose these clever young gentlemen
should see fit, in their wisdom, to recommend that
such man be removed, and it be DONE who would
fill his placer Some STRIPPING drill master? at is
said that the places of those who are decapitated
will be filled by the nomination of the commanding
officers of the regiment. See the injustice and in
EQUITY of the whole thing. It is not known what
action the Board will take in regard to the officers
who they have examined, but take it that they
will throw some one out, or the world would never
know that they had the power. Isaid "throW some
one out" should say, make the effort. L deny
that they have any "power" to decapitate single
man. They may enable the commanders Of regi-
ments to induce some of the company officers to re-
sign in order to make room for some "pet," but l
know of no "power" to take an officers command,
except by an action Of court marital l see that
the President has recommended to Congress the
pr0prlety OF step TO rio the army OF IN
competent officers. This is all right 1t is the very
thing that ought to be done. But what is under.
stood by the word "incompetent ?" Does it mean
man Of sober habits, man of respectable intelli
gence and education; man experienced in the
common affairs of life, who pays strict attention to
the health and discipline of his command but aoh0

" " HoLden. ESQ:

DEAR S1R:-I wish to call your attention and the
attention of all the friends of law and justice, to
very strange occurrence which has recently taken
place in the army of the Pamlico, and to request
your views in the premises. 1t has been talked
about, for some time, that Military Board would
be created for the purpose of examining the officers
in the different regiments, as it was understood
remaining in the State. "All right" was the gen.
eral and hearty response of the officers in the 54th
and 55th regiments. 1t was supposed that the field
as we'll as the company officers would be examined,
and that those who had never studied the tactics,
prior to their entering the SERVICE less than four
months ago, could not be as conversant with the
"Books" as men who had received Military edu-
cation or those who had service and that there
fore, there no danger of any one being hart by
the examination, consequently, there was no oppo-
sition to the Board, though the opinion prevailed
that there no law or precedent for any such pro-
as all were to fare alike In this,
however, we were Mistaken Is all did not fare alike,
as will show in another place.
Well, sir, the inquisition made its appearance in
our midst on Friday last, and what sort of material
Mr. Editor, do you suppose it was composed off,
Why, sir, it was made up of beardess boys, fresh
from the military institutions of the country who
are totally ignorant of the great pursuits and af.
fairs of life, but who admit are excellent tacti-
clans, no doubt about that. l do not desire to do
the boys injustice. They will make useful men, no
doubt, but Ihold that the whole thing is an out
rage and an unwarranted usurpation Of power,
which ought to be frowned down by all good men,
There is no fairness connected with it. 1 hear Of
no regiments, or body of troops, being examined
except the two regiments refer TO- and then strange
to say, only the company officers are to be examined
the field officers to 60 "Scott fret" and then it is
the opinion Of some Of the latter that if they can
get those. worthy men, who have given up their

Letter from Gardiner.

GARDINER, Aug. 2Sth, 1862
McssrS. Editors Gardiner is alive with
excitement, and it may be readily accounted
for when we consider the present state of the
nation, the vast levy of troops TO be raised
within a few days, and, failing in this, the
dreaded draft, which is sure to follow.
The quota of this city for the last call for
100000 men is forty-seyen, and it being evident
that the men could not be obtained unless
offered some substantial nducement by their
fellow-citizens, meeting of the citizens was
held in the City Hall last evening, for the pur-
pose of remunerating those of her sons who
should go forth to fight the battles of our coun-
try. Notwithstanding the request of the Gov
ernor, a strong feeling seemed to prevail that
every available means should be used that
would prevent draft, and consequently res
olution was unanimously passed offering
bounty of 800 to each one who should enlist
to fill up the quota of Gardiner. About one
third of the quota have already enlisted, and
no one doubts that a few days hence will see
Gardeners quota complete.
The smaller towns in our vicinity have most
all Offered 800. aud little Pittston, over the
way has offered Sl00. Now that the little
towns have led il is to be hoped that the larg-
er cities and towns will go and do likewise let
the consequences be what they may.
Fearing TO presume on your valuable space,
l refrain from speaking of aught but war and
its relations. QuERRE.
