The condition of this. military DEPART

Georgia and Soath Carolina 4s anything
but satisfactory to any man hO is aware
OF facts and has capacity "a derstand

tions iA less satisfactory than 10 the Gen.
ersl commanding.s Probably there is no
one so thoroughly aware of the lamentable
disorganizAtion that prevails in certain
corps and sections of his command. Yet
1t would scarcely be fair to hold him re-
sponsiblet for thiscondition Of things. His
department. has been newly turned into
his hands, aud many! of the troops are new
to him and to this department They came
TO him under the command of im6eciles:
he has received them,ra herd of stragglers
and outlaws, What has been done to Grad.
lcate the tstaEeRi We shall not stop to in~
quire. The time has been short to do
much, and the forces have been much
scattered. But the very last moments are
arriving, when talEmustb be done that is TO
be done, when ell must be done that can
be done. The 2eRemy Idoes not intend to
wait upon Ourleisnree And there is much
to do.
Before bringing lOUgsSlEes to face the
enemy, it is absolutely esq Rtisl that those
J in command bring themss ees to face the
vital evils existent Within otr lines. The
path We. e.noWlareItrRVellin is straight to
destructiou.EsI The Criaisi6 Ae confederacy
has arrived in fdIal. eaFnesbt1 The result
of the next elk months Will bring the con-
tederacy 70 the ground or will reinstate
power. Without reform we are doomed,
There is more than one department of gov.
ernment in which reform is important.-
But reform in our armies is essentials
vital. Without 1t the edeath knell of the
Confederacy is already stolled. With the
proper reforms made. he isa coward who
carries his heart!iu bic boots! There are
men in the land-theEe is6ght in the landI
1t is the imbecile that is sick at heart-it is
the coward whose stomach Is weak There
is nothing eforeguSithat cannot be over

state OF things ipstitutedgga We say again,
there must be neRV6N Mem ID. command

be afraid to kill. Officers must be killed
