Correspondence Of the New York Tribune.
A good staff officer is good thing. No
sbilitp on the part Of g General can COM
penssts the want Of good stsR, while an
incompetent general often wears the
lsurels that belong rightfully to some
Junior officer who rides with him. It is
only lately that the Importance Of an ef-
fcient staff has been half appreciated in
the army; by the country 1t is not yet
understood. Know then, that Gen. Smith,
Jones or Brown commands this or that
division or brigade well, because he has
the good sense to defer 10 the opinions Of
Capt. Brown, Jones or Smith Of his staff,
know that Capt. B., J. or 8. is every whit
as good an officer IS Gen. s., ]. ssor B., and
that the latier's brilliant reputation often
rests on the formers brilliant brains. l
know Lieutenant Colonel and chief Of
staff, who, if required to assume command
Of this corps tomorrow, would scqRit him
self as well ss the best Of Major Generals,
and yet he is In no direct line Of promo
tion, and his reputation, being an srmy
growth, is confined mainly to the army.
Politically he is a rank hereto, but-and
the fact is an illustration Of the larger
fact involved in "Hs makes the wrath Of
men to praise Him"-my Lieut.. Colonol
fights as though he were John Brown him
sslf
Then there is 3 certain Captain Of En-.
gineers st army headquarters, who is,
with scarcely an exception, the hardest
worked and most useful officer in this
whole army. 1t is his business to ascer.
tsin-and be must do it mainly by person
al observstion-the position Of every now
region the army occupies. He must make
surveys, question contrabsnds, deserters
and prisoners in regard to roads, bridges
and fordP, draw maps, and consult, oftener,
even than cops commanders, with the
"Msjor- General commanding" In word,
the army is often dependent upon the
Judgment Of this one Captain. A fortnight
ago, st SpottsylVsnis, he partly discover
ed and partly made a road whereby FOUR
miles were saved in moving troops from
right to left Of the line.
That night 3 mid the darkness and rain,
he piloted over this road the ID end 9Th
Corps, and the next morning by attack
and surprise we captured 20 guns and T.
OOO prisoners. But for the discovery Of
blind bride path, which fifty pioneers In
two hours time widened and improved to
the capacity of a road &c for art Ilsrs, the
attack which resulted SO SUCCESSFULLY
would not have been thought practicable.
Victor Hugo attributes tae timely arrival
Of Blueher at Waterloo to the happy choice
by q subordinate Of the right road, which
was but g half-defned psth-so much do
battles hang on apparent triVialHss. The
officer have been tslEed ola modest
man, who will be startled beyond oOmpos-
ure should he ever see this-is Captain ".

Tne Commercials special from Hudson
says:
The steamboat Berkshire, which had
about $50 passengers on board, was dis
covered to be on FIRE when about two miles
above Hyde Park. At about 10 o'clock P.
M. a strong south wind blew the flames
aft preventing many passengers from
going forward.
The pilot immediately headed the boat
for the shore, and grounded her with only
four feet of water ct the bow.
From 40 TO so passengers are supposed
to be lost. Such as escaped found shelter
in a number OF ishermen's huts on the
shore, the emily hsbitstions within two or
three miles.
The boat was launched only about six
weeks since, and was furnished and sp-
pointed in splendid style. Her hull is
burned to the water edge.
No names Of the saved or lost is yet
learned.
There we're about 130 passengers, but ss
tho list was lost the exect numter is not
known. The passengers we're mostly from
Hudson and Cattskill.
While the hre vas raging the steamer ].
". Baldwin passed up and received sixty
or seventy. These were landed at Rhine
back, and thence proceeded home.
The boat and cargo are a total loss. The
former is valued at 100000. She was
fully insured. No baggage was saved, and
many escaped in their night clothes.

which was in the advance, pressed after
them just up to the rebel works, and were
met by withering FIRE Of grape and can
lister and mlsketry. Then Butterheld's
swung around on their left, and Williams
had now fallen into line Of battle. A gen

which was received with q shower Of bull

and staggered back beneath destructive
FIRE.

The victory Of New Hope, on the 9th,
was won by the hardest Of fighting, and
the severe losses have already been detail

The direction and disposition Of our
lines, since Friday fight, have been ma
terially changed. At many places, and
especially in front Of the 9Th and 18Th
corps, our line is well fortified, but at 9TH
er points we are subjected to gslling
enhlsding fire, against which tits almost

Congress from South Carolina, and was q
clustering, vainr gaseous, overbesring
specimen Of Southern Chivalry. He had
the honor, during the last session Of
