GEN MEAGHER's ORDER.-The rebuke ad-
ministered by Gen. Meagher to the officers of
his brigade, who threw up their commissions
when Mcclellan was removed, is excellent in
expression and in spirit. He was himself a
warm friend of Mcclellan, and his regard had
not been weakened even after he rode with
him threw that valley of death-the peninsu-
la. Yet he had the good sense and courage
which will be remembered to his credit-to
crush the disaffection excited in his command
by the removal of that officer. He rebukes
the idea that devotion to ones country should
be contingent on any mans fortunes. He
also rebukes the fault of the Irish character
its passionate and blind adherence to an in
dvidual rather than to principle or cause;
and calls on all his men to throw aside their
idol-worship for the sake of the good name Of
the Irish brigade. In comparison with other
generals who have had important commands
taken from them, Gen. Burnside is exceed
ingly fortunate. His reputation to this time
rests on what he has done. No mischief
making friends or designing enemies have yet
attempted to convince the country that he is
superior to Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon,
rolled into one. His great army accustoms
itself to his command with alacrity, because
he has always fought when he has had oppor-
tunity, and is animated with sympathies and
feelings like their own. God give him strength
and wisdom IN the great battles which are be-
fore him to justify the confident hopes that are
reposed in him!

THANKSGIVING IN CAMP.-The Massachu-
sets Bath, Col. Wells, kept thanksgiving in
true Yankee style, and those who visited their
admirable encampment were highly gratified.
After parade, in which the regiment ap-
peared to great advantage, a square was
formed, and appropriate religious services
were performed by chaplain Fairchild, whose
remarks were particularly pertinent to the
occasion. Unluckily, the paymaster had not
made an expected visit, which prevented ex-
ira festivities on the part of the men, but the
contents of numerous boxes sent them from
home friends were enjoyed, and the guests at
headquarters were entertained with the usual
hospitality Boston Journal.

SHELLS VS.. IRON PLATEs.-English gun
ners have been recently experimenting with
shot and shell against solid armor plates, in
which the Whtworth shell has proved to be
Il successful missile against iron-clads. The
range was fixed at eight hundred yards. The
target consisted of three solid armor plates
five inches thick, lined with teak backing of
transverse timbers, of twelve inches and six
inches thick, respectively. and an inner skin
of wrought iron plate, five eighths of an inch
thick. The first shell pierced the plate, burst
ing in the passage through, smashing the
wood, and tearing through the iron skin, scat
tering fragments of the shell and plate in every
direction. The shot was made with the
Woolwich gun, forged upon the coil hoop
plan, rifed with hexagonal bore, the dame
ter Of which is seven inches, as all the Whit
worth guns are; it is called a l20-pounder,
but the shells fired were one hundred and fifty
pounds, and its weight is about seven tons,
the charge being twenty-seven pounds of pow
der The bursting charge was five pounds
The series of experiments wound up with the
greatest feat Of ALI a shell of one hundred and
thirty pounds going completely through the
target with bursting charge Of three and
bali pounds Of powder. The increased veloc-
ity Of this smaller projectile produced terri
bic scene Of destruction, the whole target
having been smashed.

Letter from Tennessee.


Mail communication has only been occa-
sional since leaving Battle Creek in August
last. Including marching and countermarch-
ing, we have travelled nearly a thousand miles
since the goth of that month. Surely, it will
not be said that we have been idle. For two
the men without knapsacks, and the officers
without trunks; and for at least half of the
time we received only half rations from the
commissary department. Much of the time
we had the enemy in the front or the rear,
and sometimes both.
1t is true wc have been in no heavy battle;
but then Bragg's army is out of Kentucky,
and we feel that to accomplish this has been
a victory of greater magnitude than is sup
posed by many. Whether it would have been
better to have followed up Bragg and compel
led him to give battle, will be clearer when
the conduct of General Buell. is fully investl-
gated.
The assignment of Gen. Rosecrans to the
department of the Cumberland" gives uni
versal satisfaction, and the soldiers believe
that every hard days march and every effort
to become efficient on their part will tell in
maintaining our government in this region,
which slavery has so degraded. We are gen.
orally satisfied with the position of the presi-
dent as regards that institution. Men that in
times past have been willing to compromise
almost everything, now feel that the CRISIS has
come, and that every power of the nation
should be brought into requisition to enforce
the 'tconfscation act and to free the slaves of
ton.
We arrived here on the 7th inst. none too
soon, assure you, for the enemy felt certain
of taking the place before we arrived. They
had sent in flag of truce asking surrender,
while many Of the 'secesh" aristocracy had
really gone SO far as to arrange banquets for
their soldier friends that evening, when they
were to have come into the city. am cred
IDLY informed the provision was actually
cooked; but, alas they were doomed to dis
appointment.
We have found difficulty in obtaining sup
plies. on account of parts of the railroad
between here and Louisville having been
destroyed and tunnel blown up. Commu-
nication, however, will be opened as before.
Cumberland river is very low, and will be of
no service as a means of communication at
present.
Our destination is unknown generally
There is powerful army here, and all are
busy, drilling four hours day, and putting
everything in order for active service in the
field. ws.w

CRINoLINED ARMY CoNTRAcToR.-While
seated in the quarters of one of the officers of
Gen. Banks expedition, last week, lady ell
egantly attired entered, and with the air of
one thoroughly educated in all that pertains
to business, inquired OF the officer if he de-
sired to purchase any tents for the expedition
She produced recommendation signed by
president Lincoln, which she announced as
her authority for contracting to furnish not
only tents, but flour, and in fact any articles
which might be required. She went on to
inform the officer that she had an interest in a
company which could supply anything which
might be required for the expedition. Not
being authorized to make contracts, the Of
ticer referred the lady to another department,
and she departed, leaving trio of wondering
individuals, whose suspicious were considera-
bly, excited by the incident, and who formed
various conjectures as to the position this fe-
male occupies in the complicated gearing
which is driving the machinery of the war.
That she is one of the "wheels within wheels"
there can be no doubt.-Boston Journal.

The ambulance corps of Gen. Banks ex-
petition, when organized, will consist of $50
ambulances, 36 medical wagons, and from $50
TO 1000 men, with the necessary officers. 1t
has been the practice for the men to leave
their ranks to assist the wounded to the rear.
In future this will be strictly forbidden. The
ambulance corps will be on the field and in
constant attendance to remove the wounded
and insure them immediate surgical aid
