The New York Herald of the 15th. The waste of composition and labor exhibited in the columns of this paper in its issue of the 15th inst., is truly astonishing.--Three whole pages are devoted to the "Brilliant victory at Roanoke." The first page contains an elaborate map of "the Scene of the Great Success of Gen. Burnside and Commodore Goldborough--Roanoke Island and its Rebel Batteries." Then follows the accounts of the battle extracted and published in our issue of yesterday. The second page is devoted entirely to the publication of the names, regiments, staff officers, and commanders "who won the victory." In addition to these details of every regiment, in which the names of every field officer is paraded, biographical sketches of each individual are given, so that even the most searching curiosity is thoroughly satiated. The third page is almost exclusively devoted to the "Naval Section," giving minute descriptions of the officers and of each gunboat and steamer.
