But Dana was not the La cf who fastened on this mistake I that an occasion for chastising the He a man's work as a whole. 1, the office. I am told, he sometimes thought needful to speak plainly In order to enforce stesdy discipline.

He had been known to into the room of one of the departmental editors In full view and hearing of the whole and remark: "Mr. X. you were disgrace- JuUj- beaten this morning;" in the tone in which te-j? have said it was fine day. But the serf morning Mr. X.

I cannot remember thlt, directly or indirectly, any reprimand ever came to me from Mr Dana. Prom Mr. Oreeley there came more than one; all well deserved. the business of managing the paper Mr. Greeley Aid not much concern himself.

With the results' he did. and when The Tribune 'did what he thought it to contain, he was apt to make remarks the emission. While was at Port Royal te South Carolina there was a skirmish at WillhsjM In Georgia, a hundred miles or more tiray. Mr. Greeley thought I ought to have at TVilliamston.

Very likely I ought. But Can had not at that time announced Hi memorable definition of enterprising: Intelligent anticipation of events that never occur." That epigram, delivered In flat House Commons, may be aapptaM ai tr axiom. The business of p. war correfpondent is to not where ba la ordered but he is Wanted.

Unlike McDowell, Pope looked a better soldier than he was. His six weeks' generalship on the Rappahannock ended with the Second Bull Run, which there was now no Billy Russell to describe in words that bttatored, yet were honest and with Chantniy. The "West suited Pope better than the East, and to the "West he returned. Eut in these six weeks he had made nothing but mistakes and achieved only defeats. Personally, General Pope was pleasant to deal With.

It was while he commanded the Army of Virginia that Stanton, or perhaps General Halleek. issued orders for the expulsion of all correspondents from the armies In the field. General Pope sent for me and told me of the order. Impressed at that time with the sternness of War Office rule. I answered meekly that I supposed I.

must go. Said Pope. "This is not an official interview. 1 Imagine you needn't go till you get the order." A battle was thought to be imminent: any respite was welcome. I thanked him.

And so it happened that 1 saw such fighting as there was on the Rappahannock. ant! at the Second Bull Run. better called Manassas.

Interesting to a student of war: not Inspiriting to a patriot; and not now to be described, even in the briefest way. My only aim Is to give the reader of to-day some faint notion of what a war correspondent's life in tliosa days was like. One Incident I may note, as an example of what may happen to a general who neglects the most elementary rules and precautions of war. At the end of a day's march, at sundown but the heavens still light. General Pope bethought himself that be should like to see what the country ahead of him looked like.

With his staff and a bodyguard of some sixty sabres, he rode op a low hill with a broad crest, open ground about it for a hundred yards, find beyond that In front a thick far spreading forest line. General Pope and his staff dismounted. The cavalry were ordered to dismount and loosen their saddle girths. Just as this operation bad been completed there came from the wood beyond the ground a rifle volley. As we stood between the sunset and the enemy we were a pretty fair target.

There was no time for orders. Everybody scrambled into his saddle as best lie could, and away we went. But the firing wok? up the advance guard of our army, and they also began firing. It appealed that General Pope had unwittingly passed outside his own lines, bo that, as v.c rode away from the 'ire of the Rebels, we rode into the flre of our own troops. It was hot enough but luckily did not last long.

The hill partly protected us from the sharpshooters in gray, and our was silenced after a moment. But the horses were well frightened. It vac impossible to pull up. We scattered and the horse? went on for a mile or so never before so much respected the intelligence of that animal. There was nothing to do but st down in the saddle, but the horse never made a mistake at full over an unknown country, 6tinT with fences nr-i brooks, nobody came to grief, nor.

which aaema mere wonderful, was anybody hit by the bullets. A good many remarks were made which hit General Pope. G. W. S.

To the Kdltor of The Tribune. Sir: The citizens ef this state have evidently failed to realize the importance of the direct primary bill which has recently been defeated. "Under such measure "politics for politicians only" would be a of the past. Every voter would have chance to take in the councils of his party without being obliged to join a political orpjinlzation. Every voter would have a chance to lake an active part in political life without eater- Ing to the favor of BOOM leader, and their activity would not carry with It the slur of "not being politics for glofy." The possibilities tinder such a.

system must appeal to any one, who is In the leasl way familiar with the workings of the direct primary law, and Us success ought to be assured by the fact that in no state, county or city la which such a law has been In operation have they gone back to the convention system. The difficulties in the administration of the proposed measure are. largely In the imagination of our political bosses, whose whole strength lies' In the fact that they are able to control delegates and representatives. The bosses in control of the Democratic and Republican parties have very strong reason for not making the voters too great a factor In our government, and having representatives who are directly responsible to the voters would prove a death blow to "deals" or "understandings" In our legislatures. New York.

May S. F. 8. HUNT. "WASTE" REALLY A BLESSING.

To Editor of The Tribune. Sir: There is a great deal of misleading Information printed In the newspapers about the terrible waste of water flowing over the Croton dam and Into the Hudson River. It is true that nearly a billion gallons pass over the spillway in twentyfour hours during the freshet season, but no sanitarian will say thit this Is wasted water. On the contrary. It Is one of Nature's Wise provisions.

Reduce that volume of overflow and you reduce the dilution of eewage In the river, and Invite epidemic. To any one can see through a stone wall when there is a hole In it. all this talk about water going to waste is a palpable argument in favor of the State Water Supply Commission In Its project to build en expensive system of reservoirs at the expense of taxpayers. Ostensibly the scheme 13 to conserve so-called "waste" water. in reality It is to serve private interests.
