2471 - L. Apr. 18; ed: 2/1 - Both in the army and navy there has been of late
a criminal neglect of duty. The MAPLE LEAF was destroyed in St. John's
river, and the frigate MINNESOTA barely escaped destruction by a Rebel
ram. Forts Pillow and Paducah have been captured by the South. It is im-
possible to believe that the Rebels must be allowed to occupy Tennessee and
Kentucky. - (3)
