A HARD Hrr At BucKNER.-A spirituarlist of
this city received a communication from Bene-
dict Arnold the other day, requesting US to say
that the 3d." in s. B. Buckner's name does not
stand for Benedict. We cheerfully do this lit
tie favor for B. A.. although he never was one
of our favorites. True, Breckinridge, More

CO During the unlucky hunting tour of the
London Times correspondent. he was welcom-

u Beauregard is no longer Commander in
Chef of the rebel forces in front of Washing
ton. The chief command has been given to
Gen. Joseph Johnston. The Richmond csnspi-
rators were apparently afraid Beauregard would
be too popular to subserve their purposes. 1t
would not be surprising If be should soon ap-
pear in the West. In that case We hope it
would not be long before the buggaboo were ex-
tracted from his name
W The Louisville Journal of the 10th says

Sherman to return to his home, under a pledge
that he will remain quietly there, pursuing his
usual avocations, using his influence to quiet
his neighbors, and take the oath of allegiance,
and that the Governor is now at home. We
regret that he ever made it necessary for him
self to leave home.

plain pine table. The food was bread without

men at the Fort.

secession editor of the late Concord IN. H.
