Its somewhat singular that portion OF
tne Southern press, in order, as we must be-
lieve, to maintain the appearance Of consist
ency, insists on criticising the strategy oil
General Bragg, which resulted in the bril-
liant victory of Chicamauga. Even British
journalists, deriving their information from
Northern sources, all coneurin proDouncing
Bragg's Generalship unrivaled, and his
achievements unsurpassed by those of any
chieftain who has become illustrious in the
annals Of this revolution. Why the fight
was not continued after nightfall-why our
broken columns were not hurled against
Rosecraus' intrenchuents in Chattanooga
are inquiries still suggested by portion Of
the press Of the country.
The losses to which We had been subject
ed, the reorganization of companies, regi-
meuts, brigades and divisions, the fatigue
of two days fighting, all precluded the pos
sibility of such movement-whiie the
Federals were being driven from the field
in confusion our army was equal to the
task of annihilating them, but when con-
centrsted in the intrenchments the task
was very difficult one. 1t was one which
Bracg's prudence did not permit him to
undertake, aud there IS not living mill
tary man who does not approve his action.
But these inquiries are all fruitless and
unavailing Bragg's Geueralship has not
only been sustained BY the approval of The
President anu foreign press, but By the
voice of the people and the army concurs
in his commentator. All the elements of

taken from the hands of a dead soldier be-
longing to the Union army. He had been
MORALLY wounded, and crawled to shell
tered spot, where his body was found with
the picture of his children so placed within
bic folded hands that it met his dying gaze.
There was no clue to his name, or his for
msr place of residence; but his grave il
marked, and it is hoped that he may be
identified by the picture of his Children
The little ones all have very interesting
faces, and would seem to be niue, seven apc
FIVE years of age. The youngest is seated
in a high chair, with bis brother on hi:
right hand and his sister on his left The
little girl has plaid dress, and the eldest
boy a jacket of the same material. The
! miniature has fat gilt frame, and may
have been sent from home IN letter. Our
exchanges, by copying this notice, may
bring some comfort to widow and orphans
by giving them intelligence of the hero's
last resting place. DR. Bourns will give
further information to those who desire it
and as it is proposed 70 raise fund for the
benefit of the children by selling copies o.
the picture, he will mail to single address:
fue copies, on receipt of one dollar. Should
all efforts for the discovery of the children
prove fruitless, any money that may have
been raised shall be appropriated to the aid
of other ornhans of the war
DR. Bourns furnishes US with the forego
ing facts, and copy of the picture; and asks
us to make known his proposals. The OBJ
ject stated is good.

rect synopsis of the conscription bill

clared their intention to become such,
or have exercised the right Of suffrage,
between the ages Of 20 and 45 years,

form military duty when called out by
the President. The eXempts are those
who are physically or mentally unit,
the Vice President, heads of Executive
Departments, United States Judges,
Governors of States, only son Of an m
digent widow or infirm parent, or one
such son, where there are two or
more, to be selected by the parent, also
the only brother of orphan children
under twelve years, also the father OF
motherless children of the same age;
and where two of family are in mill
tarv service the remainder Of such fam
ily, not exceeding two, shall be exempt.
No person convicted of felony shall be
enrolled or permitted to serve. The
national force not now in service IS TO
be divided into two classes, the first
class embracing all between 20 and 35
years of age, and all unmarried men
between 35 and 45 years of age. The
second class embraces all the others,
and will not be called into service un-
til after the first class. For conven
ience of enrolment, districts are made
