OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
TRANSFERRED.

Col. Beekwitb, Commissary U. S. A., who
had charge of the procurement Of the immense
supplies OF food required for the sustanance
OF the Army of the Potomac ever since its or
ganization, lett this city this morning for st.
Louis, TO which post he has been transferred.
Besides the army of Government employees
under him, nearly all OF whom had formed
strong attachments to him, he leaves here a
host of friencs in and out of the public service,
Ter never did public officer acquire higher
reputation for character and efficiency in
discharging public trusts than he seems to have
earned in this community.
His successor here is Captain Bell, (of the
same department,) who has long been the Chief
Of the Commissary at Alexandria, a position
but second in importance to that which he is
called on to fill. e.

The AFFAIR Of Gen. Burnside's advanced po-

the possession OF which the safety OF Gen.
Burnside's army by no means depends
Our contemporary, the Republican, to-day viz
tualiy accuses the Government Of desire TO
conceal from the public knowledge the fact OF
the occurrence Of this small disaster This
allegation, which does great injustice, indeed,
to the authorities, strikes as as being, simply,
very poor apology for the Republicans failure
to know the fact in time to compete with the
Star in its publication. q
We have the best possible proof of the incor-
rectness OF the Republicans allegation that the
Government was adverse to permitting the
public to know of the occurrence, IN the fact
that it came direct to us from the highest
authority In the land, with NO intimation what
ever that to keepit from the public was deemed
proper; trick not practiced in such quarters,
as we can testify after years Of experience in
such affairs.
