It is in marked contrast to the re ports of Dewey and of Bchley. These last could afford to be modest and magnanimous, and they were But what of BampsooT os might have been expected, after hie first cable* gram presenting the nation his**Fourth ol July present,” be not only pule himself forward in the whole report, but he repeatedly asserts that the , thing couldn't have happened but for hie wisdom and foresight; bis arrange ment of the fleet, hie signals (which were too far away to ba »<fon) directing f the battle. Buch egotism, such sel fishness, such vulgar asaumption has never before disgraced the American navy, it ia to be hoped that Sampson will go to history as the last Os ble kind —the last to gain promotion over his superiors through a political pull, and the last to emphasise the serious ness of such mistakes—not tff say of ficial outrage. i Sampson shows the smallness, even the coarseness of bis nature by bis i refusal to give Schley credit for even half that be must have done jn order to survive the conflict Although Schley's own flagship, the Brooklyn, did most of the fighting and was, as has been admitted, the main target for the Spaniards’ guar, Samps eon, fearing that too much "honor for Bcbley will detract from himself, bare ly mentions the Brooklyn’s marvelous • work, but makes a desperate effort to , overshadow her with the Oregon and I Gloucester, and even his own flagship —more than ten miles away. ) His report disgraces the navy, dis* t honors himself and is a direct affront to the intelligence of the American people. It more than emphasises the ’ man’s unfitness for the exalted posi- Ilion which be now holds. It aggra vates the offense committed when he was promoted over his superiors; put ahead of men who ranked him both in point of service and in ability. 1 But, withal, it serves to accomplish 1 just the opposite of what was intend ed—it proves, beyond further doubt, that the credit belongs to Schley and that Simpson knows it. And it also emphasises the nobleness of Schley's nature and his course in this matter as compared with Sampson's.—Macon News.

Southern Troops for Porto Rico* It looks now as if some ol the South ern regiments would have a chance to see aelive service. It is regarded as quite certain that the Second Georgia, now at Tampa, will form part of Gen. Miles' force for the capture of Porto Rioo, and it ia probable that the First Georgia, as well as the First Florida, will also form a part of the Porto Bico expedition. All of these regiments are anxious for active service. They were greatly disappointed because they were not included in the Santiago expedition. Perhaps, however, they do not regret it so much new, since the fever has appeared among the troops in Cuba. Soldiers don’t fear bullets as much as they do disease. A good many of the Southern tn tops have felt that the government wa» not dealing justly with them—was hold - ing them bock while the soldiers fjrotn the North were given a Chance to dis tinguish themselves at tha front. That feeling was nakiral. It is appaitent, however, that the government baa. not intentionally diecrimiuated ag iinst the Southern soldiers. Only a few regiments of wont to Santiago. It was axitected that the fighting there would De done chiefly by the regulars. The volun teers which were eenL were wjuo the beet equipped end drilled in tbw ser vice They were cnoeeo for that reason. In this connection the Greentilte, 8. C., News says that when the war began the south was practically without well organized and well drilled regiments. On the other hand the north had many regiments which were prepared to take the field at once. The northern states being richer have provided lib erally for their militia. The south had a great many mili tary organizations,but she was lack ing in full, well drilled and well equip ped regiments. The southern troops, therefore, were held back until Ibey could be prepared for service at the front. It ia probable that they will see ac tive service enough if the peace nego tiations fall through. Havana would have to be taken. Tbdt would be the great event of the war and the South ern soldiers would be given an oppor tunity there to add to the story of their section of the country and of the nation —Savannah News.
