CALCUTTA, September 27th, The Indian Daily News "to-day publishes a caustic article on General Jeffreys reverse and also relecting on the Commander-in-Chiefs ability as a soldier. The article says when General Officer marching at night in a hosille coan'ry loses the main body of his troops, intes his own way und blaudess late a village without taking any precautions to ascerts in the condition of the village with respect to its fubabitants and its surroundings, and thereby throws away valuable lives and valuable time, and through bis fanit upsets other plans in the campaign, such an individual cannot be called a capable General. This seems the wart of generalship which has distinguished General Jeffrays, and the disaster which attended his march is additional evidence that the Commarder. fa-Chief is without that lastinct which enables a man to select capable commanding officers. The same inability was displayed by the Commander-in-Chief in the Celtral and other expeditions undertaken since he has held office. As the Commander-in-Chief practically never takes the field in person, the public have the right to expect that commands shall be given only to men who are competent to guard the lives of our sold! rs and protect the resources of the country. The article conclades by stating that the most surprising feature of the whole blander is that General Jeffreys has not been recalled, but as ench a cauree would impegn the Commander-in-Chief's abilly a selecting officer all sorts of excuses are being put forwarded to bolster up General Jeffreys.
