Our Soldier. Wei Rat,cp,d.

We learn from return veterans, whose service
is out, that the soldiers In the field were never
80 well served with ratiobs, while marching
and hghting, as they have been during the
present campaign. The testimony OF these
men Is conclusive, as they know whereof they
spcak, aud have no possible motive for speak
Ing aught but the truth. We are glad 10 learn
this, for good soldiers will always do their duty
when the commissarlat Is well supplied and
the quartermaster's department is punctual In
the delivery of the rAtions. The best soldiers
cannot operate effectively when their food Ia
not supplied promptly.
The good reports we have heard prove that
the General, prohting by his long and varied
experience, has brought his department to q
high degree OF perfection, and that he has nov
we'll organized staff. CommlssSries ant
qnartermasters cannot distinguish themselves
by heroic actions In the field, but the question
of their efficiency Is a vital one to every army

Some time ago we commented on the order
OF Gen. Sherman, In regard TO war correspon-
dents, and expressed the conviction that the
General was too harsh In his structures. We
have a case in point, however, which would
seem 10 Justify Elm In even seyerer measures,
while It proves the recklessness Of some cor
respondents and the heodleJsness of some jour
nails. In to-day's Herald is a letter from Mr..
De b. Randolph Keim, dated "in the field
June 10, )" In which, after referring 10 the death
of Gen. Polk, he proceeds to disclose the man.
ner in which the news of that event reached
our lines. He says;
"a short time ago a signal officer by the
name Of Fluke, If remember the name right
ly, discovered the principle Of the rebel system
of signals, which enabled him to interpret
what was transpirlbg along the enemy's lines.
The discovery aud key to the system were made
known to some OF our signal officers, and often
through them and by this means valuable In i.
formation has been secured concerning the de-
signs Of the enemy. On the afternoon OF the
l4th, after the death OF Gen. Polk, It seems the
fact was announced along the enemy's lines
by signals. One OF the signal officers OF our
corps read and interpreted the signals, and at
once made the unexpected announcement to
our oflicers."
Here is a valuable military secret made pub
lie by one Of these men, who, Gen. Sherman
says, "fllow an army to pick up news for
bhIe, bpoculhtlnE IN bpeclob oI lnIOruhtlOn
which Is dangerous to the army and to our
cause"
Before this letter reaches the headquarters Of
Gen. Sherman, 1t would be we'll for Mr.. De b.
Randolph Kelm, II he sets any value on his
life, TO place all the breadth OF the loyal States
between him and the General, and seek, he
yond the shelter OF the American nag, that
safety aud quletude which he can hardly ope
for " Gen. Sherman puts In practise any part
of the code with which he is armed. He has
contributed to the common stock Of knowledge
a piece OF information In the highest degree
Important "to our cause" andone which in
vites the moststringent penalties. Correspon-
dents have heretofore been made TO suffer for
violations infinitely less harmful than this

Several officers who were In the disastrous
expedition under Gen. sturgls have reached
Cairo, and among them Capt. Cowan, Co. A,

with 374 men uudg 1t. Col. Rogers. Theregl.
ment lost 1870 men killed and wounded, among
them elk commissioned officers. Capt. Bar

Kelley and 1t. Edwards, who wero missing,
arrived In Memphis on Friday, having tray eled
over two hundred miles since the battle, and
had no sustenanGe during the journey except
crackers. The officers are unreserved in their
condemnation of Gen. sturgis for his ineffl-
cheney, although they say that victory with
such odds as opposed them, was next to i'm
possible. The infantry were completely er-
hausted before they became engaged-fully
one-half of the force dropping out Of the
ranks, overcome with the heat and exertlon Of
forced march Or four miles. The defeat was
a complete rout, every man taking care of
himself.

AS Copperheads, and Copperhead presses,
make 1t their business to mlsropresent the true
condition. OF affairs in the army, especially
with regard TO our killed, wounded, and miss
ing, we will state, for the information of our
readers and those who are In the daily habit of
proGtlng by our news through Journals that do
not credit the REPUBLICAN, that from the
time our forces landed on the South side OF
the James river down to Thursday yesterday
evening, our losses ve not sresedsd seventy fve
hundred in Killed, rounded and missing.
This ls nothing, In war, when .he immense
advantages we have gained In the short time
indicated is taken into consideration.
Since Gen. Grant landed on the south side OF
the James we have frequently heard reports that
he had been cut to piecesi that his army was
demorallzed, and that he had been driven back
to the gunboats, &C., &c. These reports are
not unfrequently believed and have been sent
North, to the great injury Of the Government
The men who commit these o9trAges are worst
than armed rebels.

The Second Att-mpt 20 Launch the Iron
clad Puritan.

Aner working on Wednesday, all through
the day and night, In adjusting the launch
ways of the Puritan, another attempt was
made yesterday morning to launch her, but
again 1t proved futile. powerful ram, of
$50 tons power, and hydraulic pump were
placed against the bow Of the ship, while q
ll-ineh cable worked In; six three-block pur-
chases were spauned around the bows, which
gave the united power OF 800 tons.
These implements were worked for two
hours and over, and though the links Of the
chain bent as If they were made OF lead, still
he yessel remained lmmovable, and at half
past twelve O'Clock the idea Of launching the
vossel was abandoned for the present, and the
large crowd on hand had again to leave disap-
pointed.
The difficulty in launching this vessel is said
to be that the pressure of the ship is too great
for tho tsllow, 1t having destroyed the fbre of
the tAllow. The ways will have to be taken
mp and new ones placed under the chip, which
will take up at least two weeks.

DEMONSTRATION AT PRINCETON CoLLEOH.-
On the evening Of the 1fth of June there was
q grand Union demonstration at PriIceton
College, New Jersey. II was designed as a re-
sponse to meeting OF rebel sympathizers held
10 that place the night before In honor Of the
return of VGllandighAm. The College Cop
perheads on that occasion made a bonfire OF
boxes and fenceI which they had stolen, and
cheered Justify for JEFF. Davis and the Southern
Confederacy. These proceedings so aroused
the indignation Of the loyal students that they
resolved to show the friends of "Nassau''
that such conduct would not be tolerated
there.
A large quantity of fuel was purchased, and
at 10 p. m. the wood was piled around "that
same old cannon" aud over It l0ds suspended an
GJlgy cf PdlIdndighdm by wire stretched from
two trees, and the whole was then fired. Ere
quent groans wereglven for Northern traitors,
many and loud cheers for "Honest Old Abe "
as our next President, for Grant and the Army
OF the Potomac, and the Emancipation Procla-
nation. A procession was then formed, and,
headed by the flag of stars and stripes,
marched TO the houses OF the Professors,
whose patriotic remarks were In keeping with
the sentiments of these loyal and spirited
students, and added greatly to the enthusiasm
OF the meeting.

There seems to be a singular want Of una
ulmlty in the two branches Of Congress o. pom the

1t Is understood that this important question is
not settled yet, and that there lie probability

ment, to provide in the best manner for raising
