LETTER FROM WASHING TON


1t is very noticeable, here in Washington,
that the dignitaries of the army and navy are
superseding the distinguished politicians
who have heretofore monopolized influence
and consequence. The most noticeable per,
sonages on the streets are those in uniform
with stars or eagles on their shoulder straps;
and next come the shoulder straps with gilt or
silvered leaves or bars. Two stars on shout
der strap indicates major general, and ono
star brigadier, The shoulder strap oil
colonel bears an eagle, that of lieutenant
colonel has two silvered leaves, that OF Il mayor
two Gilt leaves, that of a captain two gilt bars,
that of a first lieutenant one gilt bar, and that
of second lieutenant nothing. The color OF
the shoulder strap, too, has its significance
Blue indicates an officer OF the infantry, red
means artillery, green the rifles, ami yellow
cavalry. Men and women, especially the
women, and even the smallest boys On the
streets, are thoroughly versed in the science
OF shoulder straps.
Not many officers of the army are visi lie

The Rebel Army in Virginia.


The army in front of Washington, which it
has been the general habit to speak of as being
nnder the command of Gen. Beauregard, has
now been formally placed under the command
of Gen. Joseph L. Johnston. In fact General
Johnston ranked Gen, Beauregard as the SEN

army brought by General Johnston, from
Winchester to Manassas, has now been
placed under the command of General
G. w. Smith, while the command of the
entire army has been assumed by Gen John
sion. This may be presumed to have been
done in Difference not merely to the reputation
and abilities OF Gen. Johnston, but TO the
claims OF Virginia, which furnishes so large a
part of the army of which Manassas is the
center, and which has so peculiar an interest
in its operations. Gen. Smith is last from the
city OF New York, where he held the some

streets, but he is a native of Kentucky, and is
