NApoLEox's IDEA OF MAKING WAR; The following letter was written by Napo- leon to Augereau, on the 2lst of February, 1Sl4 It has peculiar point and appro- priatencss at this time:
 What? Six hours after receiving the first troops from Spain you are not Tn the field! Six hours of rest is quite enough for them 1 conquered at Nangis with the brigade of dragons coming from Spaln, who from Bayonne had not drawn rein Do you say that the six battalions from Mines want clothes and eguippage, and are uninstructed? Augereau, what miserable excuses! 1 have destroyed S0,000 enemies with battaiions of conscript, scarcely cloth ed, anl without cartridge boxes. The national guards are pitifuIl l have here 4,0O0 from fingers and Bretangue III round hats, without cartridge boxes, but with good weapons, and have made them tell There is no money, do you say? But where do you expect to get money but from the pockets of the enemy? You have no teams9 Seize them, You have no mag azine? Tut, tut! this is too ridiculous! l order you to put yourself in the field twelve hours after you receive this letter. If you are still the Augereau of Castiglione, keep your command. Ifyour sixty hours are too much for you, relinquish 1t to the oldest of your general officers. The coun- try is menaced and in ndanger. It can only be saved by daring and alacrity, and not by vain delays. You must have nucleus of 5000 picked troops? have not So many, yet have destroyed three armies, captured 10000 prisoners, taken two hun dred pieces of artillery, and thrice saved the capital. The enemy are in full flight upon Troyes? Be before them. Act no longer as of late. Resume the method and spirit of '93. When Frenchmen see your plume waving in the van. and you, first of all, exposed to the enemy's fire, you will do with ths.n whatever you will"

 In letter from Southampton. England, publish ed in the London Chronicle, we notice the follow. ing statement: .
 s' It is mentioned that while Mir Slidel was in his cabin with Mrs Slidell arranging his private papers, etc., the first Lieut. of the San. Jacinto endeavored to force the cabin door. Miss Slidell was at the cabin door, protecting any intrusion up- on her father, and Lieut.. Fairfax then endeavored to forcibly remove her, whereupon Miss Sdell slapped him in the face. Lieut.. Fairfax then or dered one of the marines to charge her with open bayonet, wlicV command was immediately obeyed, and would have no doubt resulted seriously to Miss Slidell had not commander Williams struck the marine and his bayonet to the ground and pro- tected the young lady.''
 The dear brave girl! Would to God she had had cowhde in her hand and cut the renegade across his impudent face, instead of slappng his jaws.

much like the old one. In this new design, which strikes us very fayorably, the field is to be rose color, with a sun rising along a line of blue hills. The writer says: Let the body of the sun have as many points as there are States in the Confederacy.- This will be peculiarly appropriate, because our States, like the sun, give instead of re- ceiving. If a motto be desired, let . white scroll stretch across between the hills anl the sun. In grateful acknowledgement of our bright skies and fair land, l thought of 'Deus Dat'-God giveth; remembering how signally he had strengthened IS against our enemies, Deus vim dat'-Gol giveth strength'-seemel better. l have made the remainder of the flag bright green, with a scarlet band encircling the field and around the border. The bright sun, blue hills, and green fields, which so strikingly mark our Southern land, would all berep- resented. ."- Richmond Dtspatch.

E- A Brave Girl,

The Columbus (Ga. Times says the fol- lowing extract from letter of a Savannah girl, (not all unknown to fame) is too good to be kept immersed in the private portifo- lo for which it was intended:
 ''Do you believe that instead of feeling frightened 1 feel quite brave, and think if l only had the strength of my heart in my hand would make little hero during this war. On the day that the engagement at Port Royal was going on, and everything was one wild scene of confusion for fear of an attack on Savannah, seated myself in the midst of all, and made Confeler- ate flag for the express purpose of waving 1t sauciy in their faces when they landed. If they come upon us by land they will have to pass our very door. and in spite of every thing but chatns l intend to wave my ban ner.. 1 intend to be the first Savannah girl to dare them, and to show them that the South has not only brave men, but brave aconen also. How it makes my blood boil when 1 hear of cowardly act done by any one bearing the name ofm There were some in Savannah, who, during the fight at Port Royal, became alarmed, for fear their courage might be put to the test, and as they would much rather run than fight, and could not do so we'll if they wore hat and boots, preferred the more modest at tire of females, and took to bonnets and slippers. Since then I have considered our uniform disgracea torever, if we do not prove to the world that aU who wear this modest disguise are not towards. To set the rest of the gentler sex an example, l have volunteered to exchange my hat and slippers for the boots and brooches of the next man who would rather run than fight, and promise, too that l never will disgrace 1t by cowardly conduct. If the men prove towards at time like this, it Is high time for the women to show what they can do; and if they cannot depend on them for pro- lection, show them that they have bravery en0ogh to meet them at their own doors, if they can not follow them to the battle field,
 l think that every woman should prove a true Spartan to the cause of liberty, and when history shall bear record of the deeds of 1861, it will reflect upon them no dis grace, but give them credit for following the example of their mothers of '16.

STILL MORE ABOUT FLAGs-A cores pondent of one of our exchanges thus de scribes the battle flag of the Potomac:

It was found from experience that the national Confederate flag was very hard to distinguish at distance from the United States flag, hence the reason why battle flag has been adopted. The new battle flag is about three and half feet long by three wide. It is made out of red silk, which is ordered around with yellow fringe Extending diagonal across from corner to corner are two bars of blue silk about four inches wide, which form cross like an X, and in this cross are placed eleven white stars. The flag is very beautiful one, and 1 hope that it may be adopted as our national flag.
 Tne Richmond Dispatch gives its readers another one:
 A Virginia lady correspondent encloses us design of flag which embodies our Georgia correspondents idea of the sun, but discards other features as being soo

If war ensues between England and Lln- colndom the militia in Canada will be called out. The free negroes in Canada are British subjects and subject to military dnty. We believe they have complete regiment of free negroes in ser vice now. Would it not be singular that the free negroes in Canada should fight and kill the very Yankees that stole them and sent them to Canada?
 The war spirit is manifested in Canada very strongly and one of the featares of 1t is that the bands of the different regiments often play the popular air of Dixie where the Yankees car hear it. Volunteer companies ara seen on :, .,.

Taking the estimate of the Sa- vannah Republican, that they will now use 3o,- GOO bales week and by the first of February inc stock will be exhausted.

have, without dissent and without pro-
test, as far as l have heard, by any one
up to this day, recognized Gov. Pierpont
and the Wheeling Legislature as the
rightful authority in Virginia, and it
therefore seems to be a settled and con

Legislature to the division ofthe State is
sufficient to bring it within the purview
