Rebel and Loyal Officers.

The Philadelphia North American tins
sketches some of the rebel officers and con-
trasts them with our own:
General Lee, the present commander of
the Virginia troops, is a scientific engineer
and perfectly brave soldier but he hasb
more oyerrated perhaps, than any man IN
the service. His personal presence IL hand
some and commanding, but the Apollo like
form does not contain the intellect OF Jnpitor
As a captain of engineers he did we'll but
he disappointed the expectations OF the
army when appointed lieutenant colonel of
cavalry and sent to the frontier. He lacks
energy for rapid combinations, and is not
highly, competent general. Respectable but
not brilliant, is the verdict Gen. Beauregard
formerly, like Lee, an engineer officer, is by
FAR their best man. He is cool, valiant pre-
scient, enduring, very muscular, aud very
trm IN purpose, and withal modest. Colonel
Magruder, the life of social party when
glasses sparkle on the board," not more
than competent to command battery,
Snowman, as vain as peacock-is no loss
to the service. The army and his companv
will not grieve for him. He will magnify
his Office in words, as he has done often be.

officer and loss to be regretted. He was
captain Of typographical engineers, lioutcn.
ant-colonel of the yoltigeurs, and more re-
Gently quartermaster-gener in our army.
No man stood higher than he.
Now, look on the other side. For among
all who remain unmentioned, there is no
great claim to remarkable talent although
doubtless many of the subordinates have
energy and education. For Davis we have
Scott-,iod grant him many days For
Lee and Beauregard we have Gen Mans

far kept down by law of senioiity-their
names are now sure of distinction. For
Magruder we have Sherman, worth fifty
Magruders his soul is in his battery, where
Magruder's never was. And the men whose
genius is being manifested are such as Butler,
Mcclellan and Others, who, having resigned
in peace, are now awaiting the call of their
country to take active service.

Ivory Contraband of War.

lfroih Inc Ihlclhlluu bhZelle
Adispatch from Baltimore, dated the 26th
and published in the Cleveland papers, has
the following item of news from Fortress
Monroe
'Three fugitives were brought in by pick
cts. Major Carey, with flag of truce, de-
manded their rendition under the Fugitive
Slave Law. Gen. Butler informed them
that, under the circumstance, he considered
them contraband of war, and had set them
to work inside the fortress. Col. Mallory,
the owner, was politely informed that as soon
as he took the oath of allegiance to the
United States, his property would be return
ed to him..
Virginians asking the enforcement of the
Fugitive Slave Law when Virginia processes
to have left the Union, is tolerably cool for
the season.
Gen. Butler seems to have moderated his
views since his correspondence with Gov.
Andrew, in which our Democratic contem-
poraries thought he achieved grester vic
tory with the pen than he had with the sword.
His practice is not equal to his preaching.
His present position is quite as impreg-
nable as his former argument. Negroes give
aid and comfort to the enemy, and supply
them with the sinews of war. Besides, they
have been extensively used in constructing
Notifications in the South, and it is reported
| that companies of them have been organized
and armed to fight against the Government.
They are contraband of war in every sense,
and Gen. Butler has right to appropriate
them to the public service. Until the Vir-
ginians take the oath of allegiance to the
Government, they have no rights that Q
black man is bound to respect.

aud loyal, and true. There is not a town
that did not know him, and could not speak
ofhim to his honor. Hisfriends, while lament
ing his early fall, may assure themselves
that he persisted in performing daring and
courageous action, in resenting a shameful
and long unredressed insult to his Govern
ment and the Chief Magistrate of his coun-
try. 1t may be said that his deed was rash.
but L should not Ii Ike to hear this reproach
too hardly urged against him. He was
young, and ardent, and full of ambition.

proposition has been the subject of conversa-

term. Thus far but one regiment the

This example will be followed by many 9th
ers. For every man that refuses to enlist
for three years, any company can get six
recruits. A few days ago the sense of the
different regiments was taken on the subject,
and there was not regiment that had not d
majority in every company for the war sar-
vice. Those of each company who do not
desire to go, will be released at the expira-
ton of three months and their places filled
