Troubles Among our Military.
It is generally the mostpmdent part, to keep
out of a quarrel, especially when the parties
to it are soldiers. We have bad Avery noisy
one within the last two or three days, but thus
far it has proceeded no farther than to loud
words on the street and long cards in the
newspapers. One of these Cards we publish
today, bi our advertising columns. We have
read it over very carefally, together with the
card of Col. Nails to which it replies. Our
reporters also give ns a statement of the
transaction, which comes - from different
sources and is apparently reliable.
The whole affair is very obscure and diffi
cult of cotriprehension. - •
It appears that a regiment of Philadelphia
volunteers, composed principally of Germans,
and under the command of Col. 'Max EINSTEIN,
has been organized for the last few weeks, pa
tiently awaiting orders to march. The men
were among the first to respond to the call of
President Lurcoms, and formed a part of. Gene-
Sitatt's unfortunate brigade, whose disas
ter at Baltimore is still remembered with so
mach sorow. Since their return the 7 have
been in ,constant training, in expectation of
marching daily. They were not accepted,
however, either tinder the first or second call
of the President, and lately they filed an ap
plicaden with Governor Cenne to be mus
-tared in under the three-million loan billain
reply to this application, the Governor di
rected them to be mustered into service on
Friday. They attended at the designated ren
dezvous, and the State officer, Dr. H. H.
Ssurn proceeded to perform the service as
signed him. Before he had examined more
than a score of the recruits the Colonel de
clared that there was a conspiracy on foot to
treat his command with injustice, and be
withdrew them from the inspection.
Next morning a statement was published on
the part of the company, charging Colonel
MANE with an attempt to reduce the regiment
of Colonel Eastern by an improper arrange.
meat with the officers of the State, for the pur
pose of having a regiment of his own accepted.
To this Colonel Kama replies in a statement
denying the charge, and declaring that he was
anxious to further the interests of Colonel
Existent, and perfectly willing to 'have his
regiment enrolled in the service of the Go-
vernment. To this card of Kr. MANN, we
have a reply from the . 6 Board of Officers" of
the regiment, which may be seen in the ad.
vertising columns. The reply of the Board
charges Mr. MANa with being the author of
'their disappointment, declares Dr. Senn to

In the meantime we learn that great
meat exists in military circles, the m.
of the regiment being extremely incensed at
Colonel Maillf.
We allude to this - case of Col. Ewers=
because it b.as been thrust before the public,
and because it illustrates the feeling of impa
tience and jealousy which prevails among
many of our military companies. We do not
presume to pass upon the merits of the con
troversy. The prhiciple that underlies it is
one of the best indie.stiona of the feeling
which pervades our community. We do not
think that the world has ever exhibited an in
stance of similar impatience among the peo
ple of a nation to enter into the perils of a
war. The feeling of emulation is a very com
mendable one, and reflects great credit upon
the patriotism of our citizens. We have no
doubt that Col. Enrsrms will receive justice,
although noisy street demonstrations and the
unseemly clamor of his soldiers will neither
hasten the action of the State authorities, nor
enlarge our opinion of their patience, bravery,
and discipline.

army. Holding these positions for life, these pro Total, M 025. tram.
tiemen are exceedingly careful, as a general
thing, so to discharge their onerous Medea as
not to discredit their high military reputation, nor
damage the interests of the Government. There
is a commissary and quartermaster appointed by
General Scott, or designated by the heads of these
departments, at each of our numerous military
stations. Knowiag the wants of the service, the
exact amount of food, clothing, and transporta
tion needed; and aim fully conversant with the
priee heretofore paid, it is impossible for the
Secretary of War to interfere with them, even if
he desired so to do. In fact, these officers are
almost as independent of him as the Collector of
the Port of Philadelphia is of the Secretary of the
Treasury. A very large discretion must nears
stray be conferred on them, and accordingly
heavy contracts are made daily, with no ra
tan:nee whatever to the War Department, exempt
ing in eases of doubt, or when such agreements
come to be ratified by his signature. The mane
policy prevails in the Navy Department, the dif
ferent bureaus of which are presided over by cap
tabs and commanders in that branch of the sem
tics. It is fortunate in every view that this nree
ima pmesates 'Err, beelarst proteoting ale Govern
ment from loss, and supplying the best material
for our troops, it relieves the Searetaries from
much Censure, that would otherwise fall- upon
them, and leaves them free to attend to the graver
interests entrusted to their charge as constitutional
advisers of the Executive. No doubt, mistakes are
made notwithstanding all the one that may be
obser ' ved; but it is a fact which cannot be denied,
fist the military and naval life, with all its forms,
its etiquette, and the respect paid to rank, and the
ambition to do right and to earn distillation, which
may be said to pervade all t hose engaged is this
sorties, compel the strictest integrity on their
part. In stating this I must not be misunderstoOd
as attempting to serum the Adminierathm from a
just responsibility It is right to add that Mr.
Lincoln hue determined, while sparing no expense
or energy in the prosecution of the war, to leave
nothing for just complaint, but everything open to
the most aurora investigation, In this be is heartily
amtained by all the members of kis Cabinet.

nay, of Orairibrd, are spoken of as his suceiners,
There are at (lamp Curtin now twentpone hill
companies, but they are not organised into regi
ments. As fast as organised, the regiments from
Pennsylvania have been ordered to West Chester,
York, Ohambersburg, and Washington, and at this
time the number of troops enoamped at Camp
Wayne is two thousand, at York Ave thousand, at
Chambereburg three thousand, at Harrisburg two
thousand, at Pittsburg two thousand, besides four
or five thousand in Washington, Perryville, and
along the line of the Northern Central Railroad,
guarding the bridges.
There has been much complaint against the State
Administration for the bad quality of clothing fur
nished to a portion of the troops. It Is undeniable
that many of the uniforms, blankets, and shoes
have been of the most worthless description, but it
should not be altogether forgotten that a conside
rable number of the troops have been well uni
formed, armed, and provisioned, and I am inform
ed by the eery highest authority that the worth
lees shoes and blankets, purahased by an agent,
have not been paid for, and the Governor does not
intend to pay for them.
When the requisition was made upon Pennsyl-
Tanta for troops, it found her somewhat more dead
ante of all the material of war, except brave men,
than any other State in the Union. She had not mina
itets enough to properly arm a regiment, nor a
solitary uniform ; and, in the hurry of the oceasion,
abuses have occurred, which, under other eifIMM•
stances, might have been to a great extent
avoided.

The Reported Capture of Bowell 7 n
Point Discredited.
WrtUnarm, Del.,lday'96.- , —'Phe united States
mail steamship John A. Warner arrived here at
eleven o'clock last night, from Fortress Monroe,
at coven o'clock on Saturday morning.
Captain Cone entirely disoredits the report of a
battle having taken place at Sowell'm Point on
Friday. He passed the Point soon after leaving
the Fortress, and there was no appearance of an
engagement having taken place there since that of
Sunday afternoon last, Whlohle viewed from his
steamer, at the Fortress.
The steamer Live Yarkee, whose arrival is re
ported at Washington, Wes lying at Old Point
when he left, and he doubts her ability to have
made the passage to Washington in so short a
time.
Captain Cone paid a visit to Fortress Monroe on
Friday afternoon, and witnessed the dress parade,
in whichall the troops participated.
- There were from five to six thousand troops in
the fortress—an inereasosf nearly three thousand
over the previous week. The arrivals of the week
included two Massachusetts and one Vermont re
giment.
One of the Vermont soldiers, named Benjamin
Underwood or Uaderhill, wee buried at Perini'
Monroe on Wednesday.
Captain O. understood, from a conversation with
Captain Pendergrast, that a movement would be
made on Sewell'i Point and toward Norfolk as soon
as more reinforcements arrived.
As the steamer John A. Warner was pasaikg out
the bay, she' passed, just inside of the Copes ' a
huge stameer - eouffnrin; brocaded " with tritoisa;...:-
some 1,500 or more in number.
The steamier Kingston. left Fortress Mon
roe on Friday with a. large ship in tow, proba
bly one of the prizes, Reverel of which were taken
daily by the blockading squadron. Two or three
of the vessels from Richmond to Baltimore had
been released.
The flag-ship Illtnnotota ' Commodore String.
ham, had her steam up whenthe Warner left. She
would sail soon under sealed orders.
Capt. Cone viewed the action which took place
at Sewell's Point on Sunday last. Re says the
Star dismounted five out of the eight guns of the
battery, but does not believe that any lives were
lost. The Star fired 109 allots, when her ammu
nition gave oat. Subaequently a smell propeller
mime up, fired a few shots at the battery, and then
retired. The Captain is confident that he would
have also been an eye-witneas of the engagement
which is reported to have taken place on Friday
had it really occurred.
The excitement resulting from the lath intelli
gence from Washington and Fortress Monroe has
been only paralleled is this pity by the excitement
which followed the capture of Fort Sampter.
News of the death of Col. Ellsworth met with era
dances of sorrow and esteem upon every hand.
Brave, talented, patriotic, his unhappy demise
was felt in all quarters to be a moat mournful and
deplorable event. A few months before, he had vi
sited Philadelphia with his company of Chioago
Zonaves, and the rare discipline and merit which
characterized that omit entitled him to high en
comiturts as an office: and a tactician. At this crisis,
when youth and valor are necessary to the main
