Several in the above list have been reward
ed by Lincoln with promotion. Two of them,
Majors George III. Thomas and Lawrence =.
Graham, have been made Brigadier- Gener
ais. Col. Cooke who has been for some time
IN Ctah, it was supposed, would retire from
the Yankee service, and link his destiny with
his native land for veal or woe. Possibly he
may yet do 30. The friends of Col. SteptSe
have asserted with confidence that he. TOO,
would be true to his State and to his name
and wear still unwilling to place his name
on the list of Scott traitors. Before the com
mencement of our present troubles, in conse
quence OF i'll health, he obtained a Through
with view to 4 somewhat protracted alb
sence from the country. He returned from
Europe, however some weeks since, and was
in Montreal the last we heard of him.
CONDITION OF THE NORTH.
The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin
gives the following result OF a conversation
with citizen OF Texas, who left New York
Il few days ago, and has recently visited
various important localities at the North:
He confirms the accounts which have been
received here in respect to the dimi nished
zeal for enlisung in the war in the North
and says that IT is almost certain that draft
ing will there have to be resorsed TO in order
to obtain soldiers, if they;are obtained atall
The peace party is steadily gaining strength
l mere 5 growing conviction that the strus
gle for the su blugation of the South cannot
succeed and must finally fail, and that there
fore 1t is useless to keep it up. Our inform
ant thinks that every outrage commi tied by
the Government only tends to streng then and
deepen the reaction that is going on. There
is also a growing want OF con Rtence in tile
Government, which the failure ofall its plans
hitherto, and the well known corruptions
which have existed and are still believed to
exist, have brought about. Large amour Is
of money are spent in New York to feed the
poor, particularly the families of volunteers,

those who are well to do in the world and
the winter is looked forward TO with dread
and apprehension.
Our informant says that there are or were.
two hundred peace papers in the North, and
that the Lincoln despotsIn has come 70 m.
conclusion that 1t cannot srcceed Unless
THESE can be slienced, and hence the rccen. fe-
roclty upon everything like the freedom of
the press-a ferocity which has scarcely ever
been surpassed by any despotsm in the world
Inc conspirators are playing a desperate
game, and may find the ground suddenly give
way beneath them. But Notwithstanding
these manifestations in the North of onnosi :
ton to the war, it behooves us not to be led
| into inactivity by them-nOt to place any reli-
ance upon the active sympathy of any Dor
ton Of tho Northern peOple-but to strain ey-
cry nerve to prosecute the war to the bitter
| end. We are strong enough to beat back the
ruthless invaders of our sal and. if need be-
carry the war INTO the enemy cOuntry-and
| as sure as there is God of Justice in Heaven,
| arms, soon establish our claim beyond the
| peradventure of doubt to be recognized all
| over the world as a free and independent PEG
| pie.
ATURFITR on THR BATTLE FIELD.
Until we read the subjoiEed extract from the
| Richmond correspondence of the n. o. Delta.
| it had been our impression that "the subject of
| this notice was killed in the battle. Jackson

| horse flesh is put TO the tost of bottom and
| speed
| James Jackson, of North Alabama, well
known in New Orleans, particularly 10 the
| TURTLES thereabouts volunteered as a private,
and Joined the Fourth Alabama regiment
| which suffered so severely on the 2lst On the
| FIRST charge of that gallant regiment, Jackson
| was shot through the lungs, and when the
| regiment was pressed back he was left among

out: know you will take the watch from

and after placing j i'm in the shade and filling
his canteen until ii gurgied over, jim told

| should make a match race, and wished to

Liverpool, and there never was better one

INCIDENT or THE BATTLE OF OAK HILL
| correspondent of the Memphis Appeal
| relates the following incident of the battle OF
| Oak Hill, Missouri
Mr.. John A. Quaries a young man of Ar
