TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMFA Sir, In a series of admirable letter! in The Times, public attention has boen called to the general. condition of the private soldier, the causes of his dissatisfaction after his enlistment, and the reason why.

As often ham ens with fuch couiLiued moio inents, alcove all at this seiuon uf thu yeaip, atl the column did not come up in time, and the first attempt to force the position failed, and a baud pi insurgents eren succeeded in penetrating into the Turkish tilUcc of Plana, burning somo houuos and caiTying od'a uumber ol cattlo and horns. But, in' tho ineaiUiine, the other columns had come up, and next day Kaouf Pasha again advanced on the Dusa Pass and carried it, provisioning on the march tho blockhouses lying in the Pass aud ienctrating on to the plsUtiu of Miksich, which was likewise provisioned. The insurgent account is that they jmd been surprised. After tho failuro to force the pass the day before they nerer expectett ithat tue attempt would be to to confident wero thev bands had disperei some of them being soon renewed indewl, in this respect, that the in "different dirootions, miles nway when tho Turks were already in full advance, aiid conld no more be stopped by recalling in time the scattered insurgent forces. Plausiblo as this explanation may sound for.

the advsiico of Itaouf Pasha through tne Duga Pass on it rcarvely accounts for the fact that, liaving prbvisiond Miksich, he' uiado his way back to liilec without being caught by the insurgents, who had surely time to come back arid cut off his retreat. In tho iusurgent camp gteat excitement and discontent prevailed, heightened by the heavy losses which the insurgents had sulfcred on the first day. Instead of recoKniain.it in the success of tho Turkish (Operation but the natural result of tho coucuutration of superior forcca and able, disjiositiohs, this is attributed to the carelessness of the insurgent leader, Petro Paolovich, and as usual on such oticasions of defeat, cries of treason aro heard against" tho insurgent loader who, from tho heginuing of movement, lias shown himself truest to the cause. Whatever cause the sueeeis inayjbo owing to, it msterially and inorafly improves the position of the Turks. Tho stores: brought by 'the last expedition aro amply sufficient to: 'provision Kiksich and the blockhotibes in tho Pass for months to come, so that all apprehensions about their being starved out by the iiisurgenli are nt; end, and, hero never was much fear of their leing taken by force.

For months the insurgents had it more or leas their own way on that side without doing much harm cvon to the small blockhouses; on tho ruvl. Tho morsl advantage to tho TurlS from tins success is scarcely less tlian tho inatirial gain. After their last successes on the same sjiot the hi aurgents thought themselves masters of tho iositioh there, and considered the fall of Niksich and tho blockhouses as merely a matter oi weeks; ijuito scouting the idea that tho Turks, who were be in the most miserable plight, could do anything to prevent this. Tho well planned and successful expedition on such a scalo is alone sufficient to prove that the Turkish troops cannot tw exactly in that miserable plight, while the comparatively easy success they gained on this occasion cannot but reduce the orer estimato which the insurgents had of their own strength, and thus make them mora inclined to entertaia fair proposals.) The Italian Cabinet has been the first which, immediately after the receipt of Count JTote containing the reform project of the three Powers, has expressed its anproval of them, and naa ueciarcu men. toyetner witu sentries spaciaiiy ai, night, fasted jjibout: London without rhyme or reason.

Tho jealousy of the Anglo Saxon race towards; eoldibrs has precluded tlio individual; on sentry duty from exercising any authority whatever over civilkjns. In Continental countries the law in this resect is different. It is said to be due to the unceasing representations of the General commanding the Home District that soveral sentries at the "Vcs.t eiid of London whoo posts were but a continuous hotnago to folly havo rescntly been abandoned and this brings me to another and a more important subject. Tho tcmptatious of London to tho Taw recruit are many and gret absence without leave" in the Guards is a frequent crime. 2u machinery used to exist for checking this evil.

By a happy inspiration Priuce Edward hit upon a simplo plan so simple that it is; a reflection on some of his predecessors that a similar system twos not long ago inau gurated. About a year ao, it is said, lio obtained the Rinction of the rulers of our Army to form a very small body of military police, but on the understanding that their services were to bo great, their remuiienition small; Three or four t'ru'ktjr non commissionod officers of the Guards men picked for exceptional qualities might bo struck on the roll of military! duty, and, with a private soldier or two apiece, ransack the slums of London for the poor boys who had been decoyed thither by the lowest types of the human race. But, Sir, these picked Scrxcints were to receive but 6d. a day extra iav. and! tho men workiug under tlucir orders absolutely nothing.

Tho result of the experiment justifies: the outlay authorized by the WarOtlice. iti the last three months about UK) absent men havo been apprehended, some tinder difficult circum stKiiccs, without, so far as lean hear, ouo appeal to tho 'civil lor, be it these soldier police act with no authority save against those under tho immediato influence of the Iutiny ilill. Tho disclurged soldier of to day is a civilian to iuonow, and to. ofteu have the militarj jiolice come in contact with these mcu in lcaguo with those whose bread on decoying the oung and thoughtless recruit. The result of the system initiated by Prince Edward is that the number of Courts Martial in the Guards in one year has decreased to an extent so great as hardly to be From reliable information which reaches me I believe I am within the mark in stating that, from a careful analysis of statistics, it is fair to conclude tliat over 50 mon would havo suffered the (humiliation of imprisonment but for: the intedlibnco of their GoneraL And, Sir, if tho cash saved to tho countrj together With the moral result to the soldiers themselves of protection from; a penal sentence, bo set in the.ialanco against the Cd.

a day to three or four no i commissioned officers, the balance to tho nation's credit will be; many hundreds, if not thousands, of jiouuds. I trust, Siry that the Suez Canal transaction will turn put as profitable to tho nation, in pro portion to the sum invested. I have the; honour to be, Sir, your i. J. RAILWAY COLLISION.

So great has been the indignation roused against Paolovich, that he is said to have sought safety in flight and to liave gone to Cettinje. The arrival of the Montenegrin War Minister is signalized in Vienna. It is supposed to be in connexion with tho applications entertained at Cettinje of an intention, on the part of the Turks, to present an ik'f itftfif tiii to Montenegro, asking for guarantees that Montenegro would in future maintain a loyal neutrality, and threatening otherwise to tako measures insuro it. Theso apireliensions ara owing to Lints received from Constantinople, which sceiii to liave reached Belgrade likewise, and to have caused there some uncames, as, in case the Pdrte adopted suc.i a course with regard to Jlontenegro, tno uay might coma in which it might adopt anailar course wiri rcL ard toScrvia.

It was too evident' that this have been very serious but for the aharp outlook and prompt (action of the driver and guard of the passenger train, who taw their danger and greatly reduced their speed. This is of publij coneerc, and ought to of private concern to somebody and therefore I tbirit it iry duty to report i to you. I am, Sir, jour obedient servant, Jan: 10. ONE 01 THE PASSEN'OERS.

He thought it was desirable that the' advanced men of the liberal Party should give some attention to this question or Army reform. If left alone, and if it nmained in the hands in which it is now and in which it had always teen, we should drift on with a bad lystsru, we should have year by year a constantly increasing expense, should have greater and greater mismanagement, and we should have permanent inefficiency.

It had just been promulgated in theVtrmy List ot hut month, and wa entitled The Mobilization of our Force." This he described a the last drop in the cup of degradation which military' incapacity would force upoo the nation. Personally, had every reason to satisfied with the acknowledgment of the fact on the part of the War Department that an Aray wa practicable in thi country.

II had long urged it importance and its necessity, bat had been invariably met with th objection from tha representative of the War Office in th Hons of Common that it was incompatible with the necessities of oar Indian and Colonial services He had continually pointed out that it waa really more essential to a from the fact that we had foreign possessions to protect, and it would now appear that the War Department had discovered that this was th case. Their plan of etf ecting it, however, wa any thine bat aoond and satisfactory. One great reason why he had always much apon the importance ef reorganizing our Atmy upon the Army Corps systm was that he waa satisfied that it would expose the sham which our present military system really was. The War Office, therefore, had on this so far assiaud him that he thought he would be. able to ihow clearly! what a muddle aad a msi our military' administration hail become.

Oar authorities were evidently greatly perplexed as to this matter of mobHizaoon. They did not possess the raw material for their scheme. They had neither men nor guca, but they bad at the cam tim such a multitude of officers that their ingenuity bad been taxed tb provide em ployment for them. A Reserve ayitsm demanded'a a first necessity good men, and good man conld only obtained by a real system of short service and deferred high par in tbe Reserve. In place of this we had continually to draw our recrnits from the nam claaaaa a before, and we had hoped attract SUem into the Rcaerv by th wretched pay of "4d.

a day. He protested, against ta acheme recently pnblisheii by the vVar authorities having any claim to ba called an Army Corp aystcm. It wa nothing of the An Army Corp system meant an Army divided into equal parts, each of these being composed of ar fair proportion of th varioua arms of the servic complete and perfect ia and the men composing it being drilled and accustomed tVact together. It was necessary that the treopa composing aa Army Corps should raaide within a moderate radius of it head iuarteri and bo. ready to concentrate without a moment' unncceaaary delay on an order being given, and each Army Corps should be as.

like another a pea ia a pod, to that the General at the head of each would be in tair competition the one' with th other. Now, lat them lok at tne eight Army Corp prvpoei be established by this new scheme. The force required was estimated at 1 02, KiG trained men had 187, 1C8 Mditiamen who hal not been trainedt and how were theae divided AV hal oae Army Corp numbering 30,223 composed altogether of Regular troop anoth.r to consist of 4,142 Regulars and 12,080 Militiamen a third was to con.ut of Regular and 4,142 lilitiaaen. The other five ware alike, having eack 6,03.4 Regular and, ililitiamen. Then there wa the GarrUon Army, to be composed of 21.5&J Regular and ililitiamen.

A total of 12302 Regulars and Militia. A regarded mere numbers, then, this acheme would; involve an increaae of one fifth in our Regular Army, 'and it would more than double our Militia. what prospect have we of obtaining thi Lvrg additional, number of men Tak th Militia, for example. In i72 the Ho'i of Common autho ized tha enrolmest of 139,000 ililitiamen, but from tnat day 13 tnia we Hav never been able to have aaaerted that our authorities were perpk'xed at ta the manner in which the superfluous officer, whom' we L. war ta disposed oL They have.

I admit, shown a nai velleus ingenuity ia doing. this. Whiljthe nnmbe'r of available for their schsmr, including every Miiitiamaa ia the country, is barely sufficient to furnish material for facr German Army Corps, they have at eac created eigat. They fill up the vacancies among the men by ereauag a fictitious army of ililitiamen men ia Lcckraai, who hare no real existence. Thenl again, in plac of hariag two Diviaions in an Army Corps, as they have in German oar authorities hav created three.

Th object of Cos manipulation i very clear. They could not otherwU fia.1 employment for the uaneoeuary statf of officer we maintain. It has been urged by way of excuse for the crettfca of thi third Diviaion that oar Horse Guard hav shawa that they ar aheau of Berlin, ami that the atperient4f the late war established the Net that three Division ia ait Army Corp were more convenient than two. Tkt Itjut has diacusad this point with some degre ot esrr. and assert teat tne ucrraan vrmy orpa.

wouui hare been better divided into three Divisions. A German Army Corp consiats roundly of men. Tie commanding officsr of each Division has, therefore, about 28,000 men under hi care. Tht Ttnus would aptar, then, to be of opinion that from to PJ.OOO nun for a Divt sion is th beet number; Suppose we acpt thi opinion. I ha to remind you that under tha scheme propoVeu ly the War Office our Army Corps are to consist of men, and if divided into two would just give to rati General in command about th came namber of men as was suggested in rder to make the German organization perfect.

But such an arrangement would have fail i of coarse, meet the difficulty, A vast number of tffieers would hkve been left out in the cold and without Mr work to do. How ridiculous it is to have fiv fit ou Army Corps divided into three, when each 'General arid hav 2,012 Regular soldiers to command in time of pa( and some 10,000 ililitiamen in the event of our shows being invaded. 1 have dealt at some length with thi peiat because I conaider that over officering is on of the greatnt Ao.nm tht evutin onr militarr avatem. I WbUldabe impress upon you that we should hav as fsw Army Ccrjs estabhshed a. ar really hecaasary' My piniui.
