Commissariat of an Army --Gen. Scott.--A Washington letter to the Baltimore Sun says: It was not until late years (comparatively speaking) that the importance of an efficient Quartermaster's Staff has been realized even by such a military nation as the French. The English were first to excel in this respect, and their system has been adopted and made part and parcel of military instruction in France. Let the Quartermaster General's and the Commissary General's departments be administered with ability and honesty, and the hordes of speculators who essay to fatten upon spoliations of the treasury in times of war will be driven from their prey. These sort of characters here and elsewhere are now seriously embarrassing Gen.

Thus if Gen. Scott should be forced to advance into Virginia, and be driven back, then the exigencies of the public service would be still greater than they now are, and there would then be no end to preying upon the public treasury. There is no such exigency now as that leading articles of the materiel of war shall not be furnished by lowest bidders. Ex-President Pierce recently stated to a friend that the personnel of the Austrian army in the Italian campaign was the finest he had ever seen, but everything went wrong on account of the inefficiency of superior officers, and of the utter rottenness of all that related to the administration of the commissariat.
