The Rival Leagues.

The New York .Sun gives an interesting
glimpse into the inner workings OF the
" League which is now occasioning the
consumption of SO much paper and ink in
New York. 1t seems that there are two
Richmonds in the tield-two "loyal," but
rival, "golden circles, each of which, by
the terms of its constitution, casts the stig-
ma of questionable loyalty upon the men,
bers of its sinister institution. The one
organization consists of the CHASE or abo-
lition faction, under the lead of Mr. STEPH-
EMS, and the other is the Conservative or
SEWARD wing, engineered by Mr.. p. NJ.
WErMoRE. The object of one is to make
CHASE the next President that of the
other is to make SEWARD the next Presi-
dent. In view of the particular mission of
these respective Leagues, it was very
unkind of Mr.. VAN buren,, in his recent
speech before the SEWARD League, to de-
clare that the next President would be a
Democrat.

Our Mounted Infantry.

Rebel kilograms, in speaking of the va

DODGE, the commandant at Corinth,
against the rebels in North Mississippi,
whom, after a severe fight, he routed and
drove from "Bear Greek to Crane Greek, -
described it as composed ETA "heavy force
of Yankee cavalry" twas not, however,
a cavalry, but an infantry expedition and
the following extract from a private letter
of an officer engaged in it, written on the
eve of its starting, will show the origin of
the rebel mistake, and will furnish an ex-
cellent idea in connection with such OPP
eratiOns:

an expedition, the character of which / sur

on mules, and q pretty tapping of ears as
