A Louisiana brigade, commanded by
Col. Corning has not been able to muster
fifty men since the battle.
Residents in this section of Maryland
have suffered terribly since its occupa-

CAIRO, September 23.--Wheu the aeet
bearing the exchanged Confederate pris-
oners, on the return trip, under flag Of
truce, reached point on the river two
miles above the site Of the town Of Prem
tiss, Miss. lately burned, it was fred into
by band of desperadoes, and one man
dangerously wounded. The convoy con-
sisting of the Louisville and Monarch,
shclled the woods industriously for an
hour, and moved up the river about fifty
miles, where they anchored in the stream
and laid by Till daylight.
Just as they were starting in the
morning, a small boat approached, with
a flag Of truce, bearing two Confederate
officers, who said they had ridden fifty
miles since the night before, and in the
trip used two sets Of horses, for the sake
of apologizing for the outrage. They
said the deed was committed by irres-
possible outlaws, whom they were then
endeavoring 10 capture, and who when
taken would be hung upon the first tree.
General Clarke was in command, and was
determined that no such outrage should
go unrebukcd.

In forming an estimate of The compare
tive military skill displayed by The par
ties TO the present war, II should be
remembered that the insurgents have
acted almost constantly upon the de-
fensive, leaving the work OF planning and
executing offensive operations TO the Ma
-Iional Generals. The Confederate mill
tary authorities have, tits true, combined
aggressive movements at particular points
with their defensive tactics, but they do
not seem thus far 10 have devised, on a
large scale, any connected scheme Of Of
fenSivc operations. In this light it will
be seen that a greater reQuiSition has been
made on the military discretion and skill
of the national commanders, as all writer's
on military science agree that TO act on
the oacnsiye-that is, to take the affirm
alive Of the issue in wsr-requircs more
genius. valor, and resources than are
needed for q merely defensive system.
On this head Marshal Marmont says;
an offensive war the operations are
yaster. the conditions more variable, the
elements Of calculation more uncertain.
AT any moment one may be forced TO
change his part, to abandon an attack in
order 10 defend himself and 10 escape
great perils, There is indeed, therefore,
q greater genius, 10 be always ready 10
vary his projects, to execute new combi-
nations. In a defensive war the theatre
is more contracted; the operations are
upon familiar ground, the nature Of which
may be exactly appreciated. The com-
binatiuns being less in number, il is
easier 10 arrange lOr them and 10 confront
them. Ia offensive war genius must sup
ply the want Of experience, and guess at
the character Of the country in which
operations are made the points Of sup
port upon which we count vary, and
sometimes disappear. in defensive war
We act upon a field prepared and studied
we have Fixed piyols Of operations
everything may be calculated with pre-
cision. A superior genius is, then, most
necessary for offensive war, while a
great knowledge OF the profession, the
talents TO iudiciously use The points Of
support, aud extreme foresight, with in
dclatigab!e activity, may suffice Tor Tho
needs Of defensive war;
Perhaps the character Of the great
General % has never been more perfectly
sketched than la the following outline
