mont, but is extended to the military service. In
fact the power OF military Copperheadis is much
greater than a civil one; for IN the service an
officer has absolute control over his interiors,
and whether he uses this power right or wrong,
he docs so absolutely, as the War Department
seldom hears of his misdOiugs.
There are at the present time In this city m1uy
able loyal officers, who have been mustered out
OF service by too comprehensive an application
Of the order relative 10 discharging officers. lac
original order from the Department directed the
various mastering officers who arc detached
cheers Of the regular army, TO muster out with
their companies or regiments all officers except
such aS in their opinion deserved, through their
efficiency, 10 be retained In the service. Tlis
order was made 20 act most perniciOusly % the
service by TOO nice construction or by a system
Of tayortism. Many of the mastering OH ers
are not absolute enemies Of the Government, but
supporter, of Mcclellan tactly.
Accordingly, 10 was found that only such officers
as agreed with them in opinion were dgoued
sufficiently valuable, in some nstmccs 70 be re-
tanned in their rank. Many Union officers were
mustered out and many Democrats retluc J, IN
accordance with the will of these pcity dcsp ts.
Accordingly, to remedy this evil aud inlu5ics,
the Secretary OF War issued a second order d.
rccting all 90 be discharged With their commands.
In accordance with this order, many of our a1gst
and most patriotic officers have been SUNNI l-y
discharged from service, while their comm lds
have at once rc-enlisted and had ucy OIL tr5
placed over them. Dissatisfaction 3u1ag both
commanders and men is the result. The men
