The Crime and Shame or the Rebels.
We have before us copy of the Register OF
the Commissioned and Warrant Officers of the
1863" published at Richmond by Macfarlane d
Ferguson. How we got 1t is our enterprize.
Sufficient for our readers to know that it Ii Q
perfect imitation of the United States Navy
Register, with this difference, that ours is blue
and theirs is yellow, Vfter the French and after
the yellow cover literature, whose moral cha
racter is in close affinity with that of the ltera
ture Of the confederacy. II Is q record Of the
crime and shame Of The officers Of what is now
called the Confederate navy.
The officers in general military command"

right to command" are from "srIrgeon" to
"sailmaker." Under ths head of "The Organi-
zation Of the Navy Department" we have lists
of names from S. r. Mallory, Secretary, down
wards, including their duties, place Of birth,
from what State they hail as citizens, the sala-
ries, the "ofice Of orders and detail,' "ofRce
Of ordnance and DETAIL" "ofics Of ord
nance and hydrography," "ofice Of pro-
visions and clothing" and "ofice Of
medicine and surgery" The tables oom-

captains captains for the war;" commanders

twenty-five pages Of the book, and the list looks
very formidable on paper. Opposite each name

rate States Navy the date Of present COM
mission, the amount of "sea service and shore
service" 10 the United States Navy and In the
Confederate States Navy respectively.
Thus they place on record their own dis
grace as having traitorously deserted the flag
Of the government which educated them for the
navy and gave them commissions, and enrolled
themselves in the service Of rebel govern
ment that has broken up the Union under
which the country has prospersd and made it.

Of a century. But the rebel navy il, after all,
only navy on paper; for under the head Of
"Sea Service in the Confederate States Navy
there are either blanks or the time il measured
by few months, while under the column
''shore Service in the Confederate States Navy"
we find scarcely any blanks, and the period Of
service ranges from year and nine months
down to two months.
The most important thing for our governinent
and the country to know is where the migrate
traitors are just now and what they are doing.
