The New York Herald of the 15th. The waste of composition and labor exhibited in the columns of this paper in its issue of the 15th inst., is truly astonishing.--Three whole pages are devoted to the "Brilliant victory at Roanoke." The first page contains an elaborate map of "the Scene of the Great Success of Gen. Burnside and Commodore Goldborough--Roanoke Island and its Rebel Batteries."
