II there is ono thing more than another
which the officers in our army need to learn
it is the duty of implicit obedience and 70

has been, and continues TO be, manifested in
all ways by officers Of oil grades, soma.
times by open aod fragrant disobedienco. per.
hops as often by indirect efforts stimulated By
personal and professional jealousy. Here iss
case in point:
A Young and deserving officer in o cavalry
regiment--tried BY long service and distin.
guished by good conduct and gallantry-wu
recently promoted from the rank Of Captain 10

Of the state to which he belonged sent him bic

easy for a civilian to discover how any Obstar

Jealousy which disgraces our service. Euy
and selfshuess, however, are seldom ct fault
for means, aud this was the method thoy
adopted
A number of officers united in signing letter
to their new Major. addressing him
Captain, after he had received his commits
sion, urging in substance that, though
they highly respected his character aud
abilities, yet on the whole they were Of opin.
ion he was too young for so responsible
commend; and they therefore suggested tho
proprety of his declining the promotion. The
unmlitary public may be ct loss whether
most 10 admire the disinterestedness or good
manners of such letter-may doubt whether
its authors deserve q Court.Martia for dlsrs-
spect to a superior officer, or would be better
rewarded by public contempt. Certainly the
impertuence ought to have been disregar1ed BY
the officer who received it. He, however, with
too generous and high-spirited senshyeness,
yet with real dignity, returned his commission
to the Governor, accompanied by the letter OF
protest. and left it to him to decide whether
it was for the rightful military authority Of
the State to confer n commission, or for ssf

1t is impossible TO doubt that the Gov
ernor will Do justice in such a case to bis
chosen officer, but what reason have we to
suppose that any penalty will be awarded
to the insubordinate officers Aud yet, If this
and similar cases are suffered to pass uu-
noticed, it can only be from Serious, if not
fatal want of discipline in the army, aud .
very deplorable want of right feeling among
its officers. Ii may be difficult to reach them
by ordinary methods Of discipline, but there
ought to be in the army public opinion intel
ligent and strong enough TO prevent the occur
renee of such ofonses. or if they do happen.
to visit them with q moral retrbution more
humiliating than any sentence which Court
Martial can award.

There are various rumors aaOat in reference
to the state of affairs at ycksburg, but abso-
lutely definite information is especially scarce
at this writing. Several days since we had a
Geographic rumor that Rebel officer had said
to ono of Rosecrans's flag Of truce bearers,
"WelI, you have got yicksburg, but you paid
dearly for the prize" We place no faith in
this, for it must have been made about the
Time if not before, the last attack was
commenced. The Rebel may have heard such
rumor, but it i, more than probable he was
telling a sailors yarn for the sake Of focusing
| our men. Dispatches from the West printed
q day or two since, stated that the lombard
ment was formally begun On the 18th; that it
was promptly replied to by the Rebels; that
some Of our mortar.boats got into a pretty
warm place. changed position, and went at it
again. Here direct information ends. But
from Rebel papers have other news, not
actually about Vicksburg, but asserting the
capture of our gunboat Queen Of the

sCATTERING THE DEMOCRACY

No details were necessary 10 establish the
character of the Convention and the seuti-

defends never either loyal acts or loyal men.
But there was room for enlightenment as to
the ultimate object OF the assemblage Nomi.

tons of State Convention representing o

Mr.. Powell was TO have been honored with

attributed TO personal disappointment rather

Of Rebel scheme. Ii would have been some.
thing to have organized n party under such a

have been still more to have forced on that
already distracted State prolonged aud bitter

Senate.

WAsHIEGroN, Marchsl.-The resolutions
reported by Mr.. Sumner from the Commit.
tee on Foreign Relations, and coucurred in
by even Messrs. Henderson, Davis and
Hicks, its border State members, assert
that the Government is engaged in the
suppression of a conspiracy to establish a
slavery, and for the building up of a great
slave power; aud that the only effect of
mediation, arbitration or interference,
would be to prolong and intensity the
struggle and add to il, horrors. Alltenden-
otes to foreign intervention are protested
against, and foreign governments and pow
ers are called upon to note the struggle as
a contest between freedom aud slavery.
