Our New CoRPs D'ARMEE.-It will be seen
that General Mcclellan has divided the Grand
Army Of the Potomac into five corps d'ar7nee, and
has placed at the bead of each on officer of known
nrmness, courage and ability, in the persons Of
Generals Heintzelman, Banks, Mcdowell, Sum.
ner and Keyes. This measure will insure still
greater efficiency in the army, and will enable
the Commanding General to operate with his
whole immense force with greater facility.
But, while there are only five corps d'armee in
the army of Virginia, there are in fact four more
under the direction of the Commander Chief
namely, the armies of Generals Halleck, Buell.
Pope and Curtis, in Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee; and very effective corps d'armes they
ere, - their late brilliant successes prove

New REBEL ESTIMATE OF THE YANKEE CHARAo-
TER.-The good conduct and moderation dis
played by the federal troops at Nashville and
the other points Of Southern territory which
have fallen into our hands are evidently pro-
ducing great effect among the population of
those places. After the lies so industriously
propagated by their politicians and journalists
about Yankee savagery, they are astoAished to
find friends and protectors instead of enemies
in our troops. Even the Southern newspapers,
which did so much to provoke the rebellion,
have no cause to complain Of harsh treatment
on our part In Nashville the property Of their
owners has been respected, and if they are dis
posed to return to their allegiance they will no
doubt be allowed to resume business operations
again. Uncle Sam has no vindictfveness to
crafty. Southerners az well as Northerners are
alike his children, and to all, with the excep-
ton of the leaders, who are repentant for their
errors he will again extend the hand of afec-
tion and protection.
The New York herald., 1862-03-10

DESTRUCTION OF Corr0S AND ToBAcco.-An
effort is being made by the rebel leaders and
politicians to induce the people to burn all
their cotton and tobacco whenever there is
chance Of its falling into the hands of the Union
army. The rebel Congress had motion before
1t to indemnify the owners of these staples for
the quantity destroyed, and it was reported that
the measure had passed; but such is not the fact
Congress did not adopt the resolution to pay
for rhe merchandise so patriotically destroyed;
nor do we see that II makes particle of differ
ence to the unfortunate owners whether they
did or not, as they would only be paid in Con-
foderate bonds redeemable when the Confede-
rate States are free and Independent; and they
might as well throw the worthless shinplasters
into the fire with the cotton and tobacco, and
make the conaagration bigger.
