All the accounts that we publish, and many more that far one reason or other'we do not publish; but which lie in envelopes, loose heaps, and elastic bands all about us, agree in this—that the organization of the army is either none, or worse- than none. For the last few weeks We have so often had to say this, 'that it only rei-, mains to bring up the sad story to the latest date. The long expected and much prayed-for, drafts, so hardly spared by this country, arrive at Balaklava. A boy aid-de-camp, as a veterahl officer complains, shows the promptness of his folly by ordering it immediately to disembark;' without proper clothing, in the rain, to march through miles of sludge to the pool assign ed for its quarters, and to bivouac, in that case, coma in tents, mime tinder the canopy of heaven. The next, day BOMB equally comforts ble,equally thoughtless malapert, rands it to the trenches, and in ten days, or a fortnight at the la test, two-thirds of the poor lads whom as late as Nov., we were cheering through the streets are stretched under the soil of the Crimea. When they are illlaposed of the cryis "more trien, more men! s!.

Yet hundreds of voteran'olN7 core, who share the hardships of their men, la ment in vain the merciless regime of an Ignorant neocralsy. , We confess that we cannot look at the horrors of Balaklava and Inkermann as we once did, for it is plainly better that {n unand horse, ho should die gloriously, selling eir lives dear, and affording a spectacle to the world, than that they should perish unseen bnpitied, unnamed, almost imnumberedforlt has come to that. We confess, when we are toldlthat the British cavalry is no more—that the hories, af ter gnawing one anther's manes andtaile, have most of them perished on the fatal rotte to 'the camp—some in the act of dragging dead comrades out of the way—we do not indeed con fees that we could wish that theY Who ere Bina dead had all died in the battle field., 'even in some mad charge into the heart of the 'Russian army. Then what is to be done ? We think Sir De Lacy Evans has answered this question for nit in a most speaking' manner. When he could no longer share the' hardships of his men—when he could no longer mount his horde, show him self everywhere, and see things with- his own eyes, he would no longer seek honor at the cost of truth and his country. Ile would no longer attempt to fill the hollow name and idle flip:tient of a general. Yet to the last, sick, injured bj a fall, aqd unable to leave his tent;he was felt to be the moat efficient - officer in the army. • Now; are we to sacrifice what remains of the 50,000 seat already, and the 20,000 or 80,000 more told off fer the Critnee, to a name that, by the concur rent and uncontradieted testimony of the whole army, is only a name, and' even worse timn a" name t The command of the British army hr , fore Sebistopot Is worsothan emote name, when its apathy, recklessness, fatal delays, and utter want of provision are condemned by the common sense and experience of every practical' man in the army, and when it is deliberately awaited by officers of distinction that the army might just as well be commanded by its sergeants as by the men who pretend to command it. •We ire aware that It's a painful act to trupersede breve and loyal men, full of honors and yeata—pono would feel the pain of it moreacutely than our selves; we are aware that, besides the violence to the feelings, there is a certain inconvenience th change; but if the noble ship is to be saved at all, it must be by sending its truusta overboard, to substitute jury -mute, at whatever desightmenk• or damage, or risk. No considerations must now be permitted, except those which will stand the judgment of a long posterity. Sebastopol is the Marathon, the Thermopylae, the Salamis of theseexiodern and a thOwand years will look beckon the Ares; ant struggle as we look back on those, and some other cardinal points in the history of the world. Surely there are mettles this country, or in the army of the Crimea, who can fight a battle and manage a siege or a campaign.. If there are, let the filigree rules of the Horse Guards be cast away with tho 10,000 tawdry uniforms that he in rage on the surface of the Crimea, and let the working soldier, the tried and proved comman der, ender whatever name, be put at the head of the army. If there ever was aalinistry that had its path open for such a measure it is the pres ent, which put off the war as - long as it could, even against the unanimous voice of the people, calling to arms. Government surely has thegaine in its own hands, and is, bound by no respect , of . persons. All that is wanted is that moral cour age withonkwhlch neither great armies; nor good causes, nor powerful Empires can be saved.-- London Irma; Jan. 8. INDIAN Hosruxmcs.—Affairs'on our western frontiers assume a threatening aspect A. spec eial message from thegresident together with a letter from the Secretary of war, and extracts from communications by Indian . Agenti to the War department, were, as announced, by our telegraphic despatches laid before Congress on Thursday last. The Secretazy Mutest* thein telligence received from officers on the frontier. and through the departuient of the Interior from Indian agents and other sources, shows that the Indians of the western proxies and mountains are in hostile and defiant attitude • that several of those tribes have entered. ink:combinations for the purpose of making a general war upon the whites during the approaching spring and summer, and that these tribes can bring into the field fremfour to six or eight thousand war riors. in view of this the Secretary says, diet aid will be too late to organise a regular en listed force, even if the bills for the increase of the army now pending before Congress Shenld pass, tho onlyoonrse now , left isjthenniployment of a volunteer force to,co-operateveith such of the regular troops as can be collected for the present emergency andlfls accordingly commended thatauthority be asked of Congress: to call into-serviee 8,000 mounted volunteers, to be organised into crompanlee, squadross, and battalions, and to serve for a period of eighteen months, unless sooner discharged. The Presi dent, in his special meesege, endorses the recom mendation of the Secretary, and urges the im mediate action of Congress on the subject _ 'Ona or no Peat (Waves Brr ro Wozur.:— On Thursday afternoon, while a man named Chas.
