General John M. Schofield assumed command of the Army of the Frontier on thd and staff officers of our regiment. On the 6th, General Schofield arrived at Elm Springs for the purpose of reviewing the field, we then formed in line, and in a short time General Schofield and staff, and several mounted messengers, galloped amanner is the best policy. This morning (the 8th) General Schofield, staff and escort left for Fayetteville, as I understr command of General Herron. It does not appear that General Schofield has established any headquarters here with the army.

em Colonel Phillips' division is now occupying the most advanced position of any of our troops in the west. It would also seem that he is holding a more important position, and actually doing more service than any two brigadier-generals in General Schofield's department. We have here a few illustrations of the manner in which meritorious military service is too often regarded. It is thought by some that General Schofield would prefer to reward with promotion an incapable volunteer officer tGeneral Schofield would prefer to reward with promotion an incapable volunteer officer than a really deserving one. I have heard the remark, that if he could have a division of troops and review them once a week on a level plain in fair weather, perhaps there are few officers who could shine equally with him, but that as an active field officer, who will accomplish deeds such as to win admiration even from the foe, recent experiences show him to be almost a complete failure. It may be, however, that in the light of just and intelligent criticism, his merit would shine with a bri

ntire North, and to loyal hearts everywhere. It is, however, in perfect keeping with the principle for which the South is fighting. Our people could never be led to commit such atrocious acts, except by way of retaliation; and even then, I think few men could be found mean enough to take gold rings from the fingers of ladies, as Quantrell's men did. But there is a phase of the discussion of this great crime that I regret to hear. Some are loud in their denunciation of Generals Ewing and Schofield, and there are others who not only denounce these officers for permitting the enemy to invade the State, but insist that it is the duty of the citizens of Kansas to assemble at some point and march into Missouri and down her border counties, and burn and destroy everything for a distance of forty miles from the State line, regardless of the political status of the owners of property. I have heard some men who were boiling over with indignation, and apparently ready to join the Grand Army

General Schofield, the commanding General of this department, visited Leavenworth City a few days ago, and w out to graze on thorns and thistles. It is now known to the people of this State that General Schofield has issued an order forbidding General Lane's Grand Army of citizens invading Missouri wit there is no foe worthy his attention. The bitterness of the people of this State against General Schofield is, perhaps, in a large measure, unjustifiable. He is in a position where it is almost im

t accompanied en route, to Fort Smith a week ago, report that near the Arkansas line four of our soldiers were captured by the enemy. There was no prospect, however, of the rebel force under Colonel Brooks, which was at Huntsville recently, attacking the train. There is some discussion just now as to whether General Blunt shall retain command of this district or not. His friends claim for him, also, that he is really the ranking Major General in the Department. as the appointment of Schofield as a Major General has not yet been confirmed by the United States Senate. But this continual wrangling of politicians, contractors, and sutlers, over the question as to who shall command the department and each of the different districts into which it is divided, does not tend to advance the interests of the public service. What do hangers — on of the army care for the efficiency and honesty of a commanding officer, if they can get permits from him to steal cotton and ship it north? At

They will probably tend to make them wiry and muscular, instead of pulpy and clumsy, like the people of a region where the air is saturated with moisture. There is a strong probability that the agitation for the removal of General Schofield from the command of this department will be successful in a short time. He has not been popular, and is perhaps not the best officer that could have been placed at the head of this military department, but that he should have been able to
