IiEOTER'S TELEQUAMB,

Melbourne, September 2,

, Correspondence, extendingovera period of eighteen months, between the Hon Mr Sargood and Colunel Disnoy, commandant of tho Victorian forces, was laid upon the table of the Legislative Assembly last night, The letters gave evidence of a complete want of harmony which existed for some timo between them.' Mr Sargood objected to Col. Disney making a leport to the Governor, Sir Henry Loch, as Commander-in-Chief, and afterwards insisted upon all communications from Colonel Disney being addressed to the Secretary of the Defence Department instead .of to himself. Mr Sargood further states that he considers Colonel Disney and other Imperial officers serving in Victoria, as akin to members of the Civil Service. The Argus, commenting on the correspondence, characterises Mr Sargood's letters as intolerable, offensive, and supercilious, and considers that he exhibits clumsy and insolent sarcasm. London, September 1.
