WHISKY DrInkinr in The Army.

"Dauu Browne" the army correspon-
dent of the Springfield, Massachusetts,,
Republican, thus d.seourses of the use of
Whiskey in the army
An army is a big thing, and it takes a
great many eatables aud not few drinka-
bles TO carry it along. Have you any idea
how many barrels of commissary,"
(thats a gentle euphemism for whiskey, J
ittakes per week to run the machine?
don't know exactly, but I do know that it
would be better to Uncle Sam than 100000
volunteers to his army, if he would shut
off entirely and absolutely the supply Of
intoxicating liquors from officers and men,
from surgeons, hospitals, and everything
and every body connected with the army.
On what ground is the present vast supply
of whiskey furnished Is it that an oc-
cssional ration may be issued 10 the sol
diers when returning from picket, or after
an ezhausting march, Why, there hasn
been a whiskey ration issued to single
regiment 70 my knowledge, for many a
moath, and am certainly within the truth
when 1 say, that not ten year are issued
to the troops on an average.
It is as good as a total abstinence socie-
ty TO be a private in the army. Cause why
The use of liquor has so increased among
the officers that none is now left over 10 be
issued TO the men Three gallons are
about the present usual allowance Of a
Brigadier General, q week, and inferior
officers in proportion. A Msjor General,
who is reasonably hospitable, is expected
to spend at least his pay in various liquors.
Every time general or staff officer calls
on oomrade, the bottle is expected 10 be
produced. Every time an officer is promo
ted, he is expected to HFet his commission" J"
Every occasion of a sword or horse presen-
tstion is improved for a big drunk all
round. II is not considered yet quite re-
putable for an oiiser to be helpless or crazy
drunk when actually engaged on some
special duty, such as an officer of the pick
ct or Judge advocate of a court martial, but
at other times 1t is nothing against him,
and even if esughtin such a case, it is
rather his misfortune than his fault, poor
fellow

MORNlNGLEADER
FRIDAY mORNTNG. NOV. o. ISss


The elections in November, like those OF
October, are 8 rebuke to the dlslcyal Cop
psrheads, and an encouragement to the
Government and its loyal upholders. The
heart Of the Nation is sound. The misera-
BILE sympatbizers with the rebels have re-
eeived stingiDg reprOOf which they will
not soon, forget. There are large Union
gains everywhere, even where the Union
vote falls uuder 8 mejOriiy. In the State
Of New York the Union majority will
range between thirty and forty thousand.
In Massachusetts, Andrews is reelected
By an increased Union msjoriiy. The Sen
ste and State officers are all Union, and
but twelve Bulternuls are elected to the
House.
Illinois shows large Union gains and
msjo1ities. Wisconsin rolls up large
Union majority. Maryland declares for
Union and Emancipation.
In Missouri the Radicals vaIiantly press
the Conservatives end gain large MAORI
ties. Missouri rolls up large Union ma
jOrities.
Minnesota pledges herself to the Union
bya heavy majority. The COpperheads
are badly whipped
The Butternuts have carried New Jersey
by a decreased majority.
Wisconsin having furnished a large
number Of volunteers over its quotas un.
der all previous calls, it quota under the
last call for 800 900 men is only 9,7O9.-
Well done, Wisconsin. A draft in that
patriotic State is sure to be avoided.
The startling news is telegraphed from
Cincinnati that the Chief Of Police thinks
that he has discovered q conspiracy tC
burn the city. The first intimatiOn which
he received was by letter which was tax
en- out Of the Postofice by mistake, opened
and read. The plan of the conspiracy was
to divide the city into four sections and
fire each simultaneously.

The Riection in Missouri.

The Radical Union ticket received 1000
majority in St. Louis. In speaking of the
result the St Louis Democrat says:
"a victory under such circumstances
by any vote would be signal triumph, but
when the Radical majority comes TO be
counted by thousands, it tells a tale
which has indeed significance. 1t deter
mines beyond all controversy the political
status of Missouri. AS st. Louis goes
must go the State. If the two are not al
ready in complete accord, that result is
merely a question Of time. In fact the
battle for the mastery of Missouri was
fought between Radicalism and Conserva-
tism in this city, on yesterday, and decided.
We have now the assurance, as positive as
passing events can make anything in the
future, that Missouri at the next election
for President will give her vote for that
candidate who represents UniOnism upon a
Radical platform"

Butler in Command at EOrtrr IS Monroe.
The appointment of General Butler to
the Department Of which Fortress Monroe
is at present headquarters, is considered
an earnest Of purpose to conduct the war
in that quarter on what are briefly known
as Butler principles"
Rear Admiral Lee, Virginian as be is, is
understood to have more than once made
propositions to military commanders on
the Peninsula calculated to make the
blockade more stringent, and to deprive
rebels living within our lines Of some, at
least Of the privileges accorded to loyal
men, but has failed to find that hearty CO.
operation on the part of the commander Of
the land forces which might reasonably
have been expected. General Butler will
also be likely TO take more vigorous meas
ures for the re enlistment of colored SOL
diers than have ever been taken in the de-
partment Of which he assumes command.
No one doubts the soldierly ability Of his
redecessor-General Foster-but on the
points above mentioned he has not the in-
tensity of purpose which eharacterizes
General Butter. Whether this change of
commanders is significant of a change
in the plan of campaign in Virginia is q
question which will be ssked by many but
cannot properly be answered at present.
As for General Foster, it is not at all likely
that he will be ordered to the command Of
the Department of Washington, now under
General Augur, although he is ordered to
report here.

Ths Prospects at Charleston.


The renewed bombardment at Charleston
awskenes intense anxiety. The expulsion
of the rebels from the ruins of Sumter
seems TO be a work of prime necessity.
They are supposed to have been construct
ing sand batteries similar to those at Wsg-
ner. The object Of Gilmore is TO frustrate
this design. The reduction of Charleston
by the Union forces is only a matter Of
time We fully believe. The following init
nations from the New York Times, Of No
vember 4th, will be read with great inter-
est:
awe have private ad7iees from Morris
Island, of nature improper for publica-
tiou, but which inspire the very highest
hopes Of the success Of the new attack on
Charleston. The nature Of ths 65stTEctiosS
is nov thoroughly understood. Our igno-
rance on this point has hitherto been the
main difficulty. The distractions are not
of a character to prove any very foTmid-
able obstacle against q vigorous attack by
the iron-clsds. Itis of course possible that
we may lose one or two of these vessels in
the attempt, but there is very little doubt
of its success. General Gilmore lombard
ment of Fort Sumter we take to be merely
preliminary. 1t is of the highest import
ance that we should obtain possession Of
Sumter Tor, at least, the island on which
it is built previously to sending in the
iron -clsds, as, in case Of the disabling OF
any Of our vessels, this would afford con-
venient refuge. We have not Hitherto
taken a very jubilant view of the prospects
before Charleston, but the facts now in our
possession make them much brighter than
they have thus far appeared"
