The SIGNAL CoRPs.-Assistant Sec
Rotary Of War Dana thus speaks in his
paper Of that expensive organization,
the signal corps Of the army;
1--WE have had pretty extensive oppor-
tunities OF noticing the services OF the
signal corps during the war and feel
ourselves bound to testify that it has
been as useless as it has been useless.
We cannot recall a single instance in
which it's labors have been Of any prac
teal value. Its principal utility, so far
as we are aware, has been to catch and
read the messages Of the rebel signal
officers, just as they have caught and
read ours,-.or it should be understood
that our system and theirs was substan-
TALLY the same, and that no system Of
visible signals has yet been invented
which cannot be deciphered by an ex-
pert. Individual members Of the corps
have distinguished themselves by gal
lantry and zeal and have sometimes
been Of the greatest use, outside Of
their special duty; but the signal corps
mas, from first to last, been nothing but
a very costly and very worthless hum
bug. We should have been better oa
without it."
