MILITARY MOVEMENTS AND THE
PRESS.


Acting upon the supposition that the publl-
cation Of military movements, Of any consid-
cradle magnitude, at the present time would
not only be contrary to a standing order Of the
War Department but highly Injurious to the
Government, we refralned from publishing an
account Of the grand military display aud
review which took place In this city on Mon
day last. We observe, however, that an OBJ
scure print Of This city, hiding Its "informa-
tlon for the enemy" behind Its small clrcula-
tlon, explained the ch aracter and object OF the
military NOV ement referred TO, which fact was
brought to light by an industrious correspond
ent, who, in cropping for items, discovered the
reasonable paragraph alluded to, and tele-
graphed 1t To the coPperhead World, Of New
York. flt receptacle for such news. There
are two things about such military displays
worthy Of consideration; Pirst, If Il Ia the wish
OF the Government that the Press remain
silent on the subject, let the proper officer Of
the Government make such Wish known In an
order, and then enforce that order 10 TIC letter.
Secondly, II the object Of the Government,
in securing the silence OF the Press with refer
ence to such matters, Is TO pi event the news
from reaching the enemy, We beg respectfully
to suggest that il sih totally taE IN accomplish.
