The SPLENDID FIGuTING AT MuRFREEs-
BoRo.-In the recent article upon the
comparative bl0Odshed in our great en-
gagements and those of Europe, we had
to rely upon Geographic reports alone re-
sepectipg the numbers engaged and losses
incurred at the late battle of Murfrees-
boro, or Stones river, under Rosecraus.
and were thereby led into a very material
error. 1t now appears that, instead of
there being $4,000 National troops in that
action, there were only $4,000; and the
official returns show the loss of officers
and men to have been 1897 killed and T.
425 Notwithstanding an aggregate of
1922, instead of "about 5,OO0," as was
first reported. Thus the casualties were
not ten per cent, as resulted from this
first data, but, in reality over twenty per
cent. This is ratio exceeding that as
Bautzen, at Lutren, at Leipsic, at Wag-
ram, at Austerlitz, and nearly, if not quite,
equal to that at Friecland and Marlngo.
1t is double that of Shiloh and Freder-
icksburg, and six or seven per cent higher
than that of Antietam.
In truth, the better the battle of Muir
freesborc is understood, the greater prece-
dence does it take over every other en-
counter Of the war. The enemy in this
case-which has seldom happened before
enjoyed both of the great advantages,
superior position and superior numbers
The position he had deliberately chosen
and intrenched and bis numbers, il is
now established, were at least 62,0C0-cx'
ceeding ours by seUentsen thousand. This
disparity was made still greater by the
misfortune in the first stage OF the battle
Oh our right wing, by which between three
and four Thousand of our men were taken
prisoners. It was the extraordinary con-
stancy and splendid tactics OF Rosecrans,
supported by the zeal Of the subordinate
commanders and the unexa:npled stub.
bornness of the rank and file, that trans
| formed the early reverse into a grand VIC
tory. Would to Heaven that we could
have such generalship and soldiership ev-
erywhere. They would speedily make an
end Of this bloody rebellion.-N. 7. Times.

General Hooker and his new Commando
erS OF Division.

The new commander of the Army of
the Potomac is so well known to the pub
lie that but very few facts in his history
need be repeated to refresh the memory
OF our readers. Joseph Hooker was born
II HadIey, Mass, in 1916. He entered
west Point in 1888, and graduated in
1857. He distinguished himself in the
Mexican war. at the end of which be re.
signed and emigrated to California. On
the outbreak OF the rebellion he offered
his services to the Government and was
made Brigadier General of Volunteers on
the Eth Of April. 1861. He distinguished
himself on the Peninsula, under pope be-
fore Washington, and at South Mountain.
and Antietam, at which last place he was
wounded in the foot. When he recovered
he was made Commanding General of the
Fifth Army Corps.
On the 18th of November, 1862. he was
placed in command of the Center Grand
Division OF Burnside's army in Virginia.
His promotions, previous to the assump-
ton of the Chief command of the Potomac
army have thus taken place: On July 4,
1862, he was promoted to Major-Gener-
a!ship Of Volunteers, and on the Goth of
September, 1852, was appointed Briga-
der General of the Regular Army, in the
place OF General Mansfield, deceased.
Ger. Darius n. Couch, who succeeds
Gen. Sumner as commander of one of the
grand divisions of the Potomac army, is
native of New York, and graduated
with Mcclellan, Foster and Stonewall
Jackson, at West Point, in 1916 He re-
signed soon after the Mexican war,
through which he fought with credit; was
made Brlgadier- General of volunteers in
May, 1861, fought with Mcclellan in Mary
land and Virginia, was promoted to q
Major Generalship July 4, 1862, for his
gallantry before Richmond.
Gen. VIM. F. Saith, who succeeds Gen.
Franklin, is a native of Vermont, and
graduated at West Point in 1915. He
was afterward Acting Assistant Professor
of Mathematics at that institution. At
the time of his appointment to a Briga-
der Generalship, liz August, he held the
rank OF Captain Of Typographical Engi-
neers in the regular army, lie was ap.
pointed Major General on the same day
with Gen. Couch. The latter, however,
ranks him.

The DEPARTMENT OF TIE SoUTH.-On
his arrival at Hilton Head, Gen. HUNTER
issued general order, from which the
following is an extract:
In view Of the active operations about
to commence IL this Department, the
General Commanding would remind off :
GERS and enlisted men OF the absolute ne
ces8ity of strict, prompt, and uuques-
tioniDg obedience to all orders. Without
implicit, complete, and hearty obedience,
an army is a mere mob. With discipline
there is safety, honor, aud The full assur
ance OF being able to render substantial
service to our country. The Gener Il
Commanding would deeply regret should
a single man be killed while basely de-
sorting lis cOlors; but lie would remind
&ll officers that it is their imperative duty
Instantly to put to death any officer or
enlisted man who shall be found deserving
| his brave comrades who are doing their
duty in front. Each officer who may find
| it necessary to execute this prompt pun
| ishment Of cowardice and treason, will,
as soon after the act as the exigencies of
the service may permit, report what be
las done to these headquarters, giving the
name Of the traitor slain and OF such Wit
nesses rs can prove the justification Of the
penalty.
| No officer or soldier will leave the bat
tle-feld for the purpose Of taking off the
wounded, who will be much better at
tended to by the ambulance men and the
nurses. Poor, wounded men, helpless IN
the hands of their torturers, are olten
manged to death while being improperly
carried from the battle field by renegades,
! who Use the preteDca Of humanity as a
cloak fer their anxiety to secure their own
safety, regardless Of the eufferings of their
victims
