MILITARY STATISTICS.

A project is before Congress, whereof we be-
lieve Col. George Is. Smith, late Of The Chicago
Tribune, is the originator, proposing Govern
mcnt Bureau for the careful collection, CLASH
fcation and preservation Of the Statistics o.
our present eyentlul struggle. We do not know
that the labor here suggested may not be within
the scope and the competency OF some existing
bureau-ihat of the Adjutant-G most
likely-and we are opposed to creating new
office which is not imperatyely necessary; but
there certainly is great need of SONS better
system of recording Military Statistics, pre-
serving aud making them accessible, than we
now have. Let US illustrate this need by an
example.

quired the filling of his place. and, when he
was at length released and returned to his

their first attempt. We had had battles well
fought before; some in which fhe General
Commanding did his work fairly; many in
which orr soldiers behaved nobly; but the
Murfreesboro fight was saved, and Tennessee
with it, by William S. Rosccrans. That he
exposed himself rcckcssly, constantly, and im-
PEELED his officers to do likewise was no idle
brayado, but stern necessity. After McCook's

burg. Gen. Sherman has been forced back,
has re-embarked on his transports, and is
probably by this time at Napoleon, Ark. This
movement was made by Gen. McClernand, who
took command on his arrival last Friday or
Saturday. Nothing definite had been heard OF
the Banks assisting force. The principal
lighting of Sherman was by his center
under Gems. Smith aud Blair. Our losses are
put at 600 killed, 1900 wounded, and !, 600
missiDg-in all, 800. The Rebels pursued our
forces to the gunboats. but were unable to do
serious damage within range of the guns. So
the vicksburg Expedition is failures but an
other attempt on larger scale will doubtless
soon be made.

BY the arrival Of the Creole, from New Or
leans, we have news, confirmed also from hIch'
mOnd, of complete and apparently dsgraceiul
disaster 10 the Union land and naval forces
at Galveston. 1t is difficult to explain the sue
cess of the Rebel attack, except on the theory
that Com. Renshaw allowed himself to be sur
prised. The Rebels attacked in steamers iorti-
fed by cotton bales and loaded with troops, but
without cannon. 1t would seem that if n
viglant watch had been kept they ought to
have been blown out of the water long before
they could have got within musket range. But
the Harriet Lane was carried by boarding,
losing nearly all her officers and men, while
two other gunboats-the Clifton and Owasco-
are unaccountably said to have escaped without
loss, which must mean that the Harriet Lane
was abandoned by her consorts.
The unhappy fate of Commodore Rensbaw,
killed by premature explosion in the effort
TO blow up his flag ship, makes it impossible
to censure him till fuller accounts are re-
ceived; but it is only too plain that some one
has blundered or neglected his. duty most
inexcusably. As long ago as the eth of
December. the Rebels gave notice to the
women and children to leave Galveston, as
they intended TO attack the fleet. IL is not
easy to conceive that our fleet should be right
fully in position from which it could not
repel an assault by an irregular force IN
provided with cannon.
If the numbers on either side are stated with
even approximate correctness, the surrender of
the laud forces could only have been prev ented
b. assistance from the fleet and the fleet was
not even able to protect itself. A force of
5000 Rebels, though led by drunken Magru-
der, is an overmatch for 800 Loyalists. The
Union troops, who were commanded by Col.
Burrin OF Massachusetts, are said to have re-
pulsed two charges Of the Rebels before they
surrendered. Their gaantry and the obstinate
courage of the officers aud crew Of the Harriet
Lane are the redeeming features Of this most
painful and inexpcablc misfortune

NEW JER SEW.

The more malignant Copperheads Of this
State are calIAg upon their new Legislature
to prohibit the immigration of slaves whom the
War has converted or may convert into free
men. This is about as far as they dare 60 in
aid of the Rebellion but the animus is unmis-
taxable. Every slave OF Rebel whom the
war for the Union sets free is u positive loss
of force to the traitors, who feel that they
have none to spare. If their friends outside
can huns slaves back into their clutches,
or prevent their getting away, it will be just
so much help to the Rebellion.
