How GENERAL 111PC0OK LOST HIS STARS.---p

A corresponent of the Cincinnati Commercial says
" General Bragg exposed a fact in his official report of the
battle of Chaplin-hill which General M'Cook had omitted
to mention. The General was looking rather shabbily here
in the way of broadcloth, and was moved to explain his
seediness, which he confessed he would not have done if
Bragg had not blabbed. A night after the battle of Chap,

brigade and halted inside of the rebel lines. The corps of
headquarters servants who accompanied the train were
gobbled up at the same time, but some of them escaped.
Thus General APCook lost his elegant new passants with,
double stars, which friends had sent to him, and all of his
wearing apparel, except the threadbare and battle worn suit
in which he fought. His servant ludicrously describes the
absurd scenes in the rebel camp, when the thin-legged and
spare-ribbed rebels attempted to envelope themselves in
M'Cook's enoimous drawers and undershirts. They would
hold about four rebels apiece and three weeks' rations for
padding. The general never can get even unless he cap"
ture Humphrey Marshall."
