~ .wc have in the war? General
Polk, SO rumor again has it, attaches the
blame TO Geu. D. II. Hill. Gen. Hill'l
command, il seems, WAS ordered by Gen
Polk 10 execute the command of Gen
Bragg, aad moye forward at Daylight, to
make tue attack When asked why he die
| not move, his excuse was that his men had
no rGtiuns, and be would not fight them
without something to eat. II this prove
true he deserVss to be cashiered either for
having no ratiOns for his mon or for not
moving forward without them ia such az
important emergency. 1t 10 very certain
Tor it should bel that they had something
to eat the day before, and it is yet to be
seen when Southern soldiers are not ready
TO move uudGr more trying circumstances
than privatj0Rs pt ratiOns for twenty four
houts. TIa neglect of such weighty du-
ties whore sA;r1Sph of our interest was in.
vOIved, hardly, AiuiIs an excuse, and the
shortest way to EudCG against such dread
ful contingencies in future, is to do away,
as early as possible, with leaders who have
such bad luck 1t is to be hoped that q
better face ma! be put upon the matter
than at present shows itself in the couu-
tenance OF Madame RumOr as she travels
about camp"
another correspondent Of the Republican,
writing under Gae of the 18th inst, says:
"i was in errr in saying that, in the
late battle, Polk commanded on the right,
Hin in the centre and LOugstreet the left.
There were but two grand divisions of the
army, the right wing, commanded by Polk,
and the leiI wing, commanded by LOHB
street. Hill was, uuder P0ik, as Buckner
was under LonRSireet, aud it is said that
Hill is the officer who is really responsible
for the failure to attack at sunrise on Sun
day morning, aad not Polk, who, it is
affirmed, issued Wders foT his command TO
move at that hour. Gsn. Brhgg, however,
could not, ii is sAid, look beyond Gen.
Polk to his subaltsrDs. especially since be
neither complained of their delinquency
nor put them under arrest"

an easy place in some of the departments.
While such abuses are tolerated, and such
pets, perhaps spies, introduced and given
