These are far from being the only officers who have
proved recreant TO their duty. Gen. Twiggs, whose
services IN behalf Of treason hit him for an eminent
place in the Southern service has refused the position
offered 10 him. as has also LieutCol Hardee, late Of
the First Cavalry. 0ihes have already resigned and
some are still weighing the question in their minds
We presume they wish to satisfy Themselves OF the
certainty of receiving their pay regularly before they
commit themselves TO the cause Of Secession. 1t will
be seen upon examination Of the Southern Army hst
that the officers enumerated in our table have nearly
all been promoted as a reward for their detection.
Should the United States desire to reGngage them,
which il very probable TO be the case they could
without doubt be bought back again by an additional
promotion. In tho same way the majority OF the

WHOM WE HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING.

We published in our edition Of Tuesday corrected
list of the officers commissioned in the army Of the
called Confederate States. large proportion Of these
were, until recently, members Of the United States
army Not all of the designations from tho latter how
ever, have been rewarded with commissions in the
newly inaugurated service, several officers having
fused the commands which have been rendered them,
while others who we know to have resigned Tor the
express purpose Of transferring their services with !heir
allegiance, have, We presume, contented themselves
with local commands in tie particular States out Of
sympathy for which they deserted the flag Whose fo-s
they were TO protect and defend The following

There was pacing-race ON this course, on the I'D
inst, between Emma and Gladiator, for purse Of
$500, which very closely contested but finally
won by the little maze in four heats. The 6rst WA
dead heat the little mare took the next three heats in

competitor toward the last, had che tried Her best
time was 1881; only Of a second short Of her time
