II is a fact which must have excited
much public attention that, in nearly all
of our battles with the rebels, we lose a
much larger proportion Of officers than
they do. This is fact of great moment,
and its causes should by all means be in
quired into
The main cause is, in our opinion, per-
fectly obvious. II lies upon the surface,
manifest to every eye. The rebel officers,
in going into battle, almost invariably
take the precaution 10 render themselves,
by their dress, their position, and other
means, almost utterly undistinguishabls
TO the eyes of our troops from the subor-
dinate officers and even soldiers under
command. Very few if any of them,
high or low, wear their insignia Of rank
upon the field of battle. Thus they es-
cape being made especial targets for our
sharp shooters, while at the same time
their troops have the full benefit of their
services.
But with the Union officers it is, we are
assured, very different. They 90 into
every fight displaying all the emblems of
their rank and seem TO take a pride in
making themselves as conspicuous as
possible in the most exposed situations,
although they must know, that, in doing
this, they necessarily draw upon them
selves the aim Of scores and hundreds of
rebel rifles. This may be gallantry, il
may be lofty chivalry, but it is not pru-
dence, il is not wisdom, il is not enlight-
ened patriotism, il is not good general
ship. II looks more like sacrifice Of
vast public interests to tho qualification
Of personal pride or vanity
There may be an exigency in battle.
where high commanding officer, TO re-
vive the faltering courage Of his men
and 10 retrieve the failing and desperate
fortunes Of the day, SHOULD, as il were,
seize the standard with his own hand.
like Napoleon at the bridge Of Lodi, and
rush forward into the midst Of the dead
Hest perils, but such exigencies are Of
rare occurrence. A commanding officer
should remember, that, little as he may
care for his own life, his fall would tend
TO spread CONSERVATION through his
army and cause its defeat where victo-
~ might otherwise be won, and, remem-
bering this, hc should guard his life well,
not for iis own sake, but for his cOun-
try's. We approve the policy of the
rebel officers in this matter, and should
be glad TO see it initiated. Our heroes
of high military rank might perhaps lose
some OF the chances Of applause for
personal daring, but the loss would in
ell probability be far more than com
pensated by the general renown they
would win as leaders in the successful
battles ct their country. Louisville

We wonder whether the re- opening Of
railroad communication to Louisville
could be facilitated by repairing the
track at this end of the road?- or whether
our query has been anticipated? Thou
sands of us have been waiting with long
ing, anxious looks for the arrival Of the
train which shall announce that inter-
course with the world has been renewed.
We learn that the road has been repaired
from Bowling Green to Russellville on
the Memphis branch; 50 it is likely that
we are to have our first train by way of
GAINESVILLE.

Rebel FINANCES.

We hope that no one win pass over the
article in to-day's paper, headed IHc
Financial Condition Of the Relel8," taken
from the editorial columns of the Rich
mOnd Enquirer, without giving it careful
perusal. 1t is high time that those who
have espoused the rebellion under the
delusion that a Southern ConfederAcy
would afford a relief from The hardly
perceptible burdens imposed by our pre-
sent Union, should pause in their mad
career and look to what a condition
their Southern rulers would reduce them.
Now is the time TO retrieve past errors
by returning TO loyalty, for it will be too
late 20 repine if ever the monster of
Southern despOtism establishes it's power,
and enforces its odiOus edicts by the
force of a standing army.
