Important Reorganization OF B,agg's Cavat-

Gen. Bragg has issued an order reorganizing
his cavalry, which by this new organization is
formed into two divisions one under the com>
mand Of Wheeler and the other under Van
Dorm, Morgan being attached to the former
and Forrest to the latter. This very materis
ally alters the plan Of the cavalry service, which
as corps had been put under Van Dorn's
command to act independent OF other orders,
and one to be moved and managed at his will
and discretion. Now this new corps is formed
into division and attached to Bragg, who com.
mands the army of Tennessee, and is to be
kept upon one of the tanks OF the army, while
the second division (Wheeler's) is retained on
the other. While this Reorganization will have
the effect to prevent those brilliant and success

The Burning Of jacksonville.

Carleton, the talented and candid war cor
respondent of the Boston Journal, writing
from Hilton Head, thus speaks of this vandal
act:
The order for the evacuation of Jacksonville
reached Col. Montgomery as lie was about
starting for long march inland. The soldiers
OF the Slh Maine and 9th Connecticut when
the order for evacuation was issued, set fire to
the Catholic church and parsonage. Col. Rust,
Col. Hawley, and other officers attempted to
prevent further vandalism, and no more fires
were set till the next morning, when flames
burst out simultaneously in all parts OF the
town. A high wind was blowing, and in few
moments two-thirds of the town was bright
blaze. 1t was an awful, sublime, humliating
spectacle. Beautiful dwellings, large ware
houses, fine shade trees, the homes of three
thousand people were destroyed. The seces-
sion portion of the community had all gone
beyond our lines, by permission, week ago.
The people who remained were unqualitiedly
loyal; many Of them are from the North
Many OF the men enjoyed the spectacle in
high glee; others expressed their adherence
OF the act. The officers had no power to pre-
vent the act. There was collision between
the soldiers Of the two regiments. The col
ored regiments had nothing to do with it; they
behaved with proprety throughout.
the negroes nave bad many hard things
said about them; they have been oppressed,
distrusted, humiIiated-have been kept out of
good name. 1t has been vehemently assert
ed that negroes, if employed soldiers, would
commit unheard of barbarities. Throat-cut-
ting and the torch, the knife and the fire. brand
have always been Incorporated into the picture
which has been painted by the shareholders
and their Northern apologists. st. Domingo
has been held up, and is now, as the great in
controvertible, unanswerable fact of the vim
dictive propensity OF the African. What is the
present picture? New England soldiers APP
plying the torch 10 a town, and the negroes
sorrowiul witnesses of the spectacle! Time
is changing the picture OF the past. There may
but under the present light it seems to have
been an outrageous act Of vandalism, for which
there is no excuse or pallation.

nV The Gardiner Journal says that one
day last week, Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Hal
lowell, was driving on to the Gardiner and
Pittston Bridge, just as the forenoon train of
cars came along. The wood and lumber piled
near the railroad, prevented bis seeing or hear
ing the train. Several persons, however, near
by, seeing his danger shouted SO as to attract
his attention, and he saw the cars just as his
horse was stepping on to the track. Being a
powerful man he was able to pull his horse al
most on to his launches, and the cars dashed
by just grazing his horses head. Had he been
few steps farther ahead, his destruction
would have been inevitable.

On the 9Th of March, General Hunter, COM
manding in the Department of the South, is
sued an order beginning with these inspiriting
words: "After long wearisome delays, due to
"causes over which no one in this Department
"had control, we have at length the cheering
prospect OF active and very important SER
"vice." 1t was nevertheless the 4th Of April,
before the first faint rumors of an advance up
on Charleston reached our lines in Virginia, at
Fortress Monroe. A few words IN the Rich
mond Despatch of the Sd instant, conveyed
the intelligence that our troops had landed in
force on Seabrook's island and were driving in
the rebel pickets. The Richmond Examiner
next day pronounced the affair on Seabrook's
island mere skirmish, and denied the landing
of any considerable force. The New York
World denounced the report as an abolition
lie, expressly designed to influence the Con-
necticut election, SO true is it that vigorous
prosecution of the war and a succession of
Union victories. and the great, browning vic
tory Of country restored TO her proper place
among the foremost powers of the world, will
bring the party represented by the World to
utter grief. When that day comes, none will
be found to admit that ia the hour of the
country's peril, his heart was cold to her
needs.
Meanwhile newsp paper letters of the 18th,
10th. sn,h,and 31st March, from the army and
Pom noyal, show that the expedition had
reached an advanced stage of preparation
The Southwest corner OF James island was
occupied by the Tooth New York regiment,
9Th March. The troops on st. Helena
island, Port Royal, were under orders the
same day, to be ready to move in forty-eight
hours. Edisto island was occupied by Gener-
al Steyenson's brigade, 10Th March. Between
the two islands named lies Seabrook's island,
separated from Edisto island by the North
inlet The island is but five miles from
Charleston on the west side.
Thus far the operations had been merely
preliminary The fleet left Port Royal finally,
on Wednesday, April LIST, and reached the
vicinity Of Charleston Thursday evening.
From the general tenor Of the dispatches that
have reached US, IL seems to be the intention
Of the Union commanders, to operate up the
Edisto and Stono rivers, thus avoiding the for
mdable defenses at the mouth of the har-
Dor. Thus part Of the earliest rnmor was,
that non-combatants had been ordered away
from Adams Run. Adams Run is station on
the Charleston and Savannah railway, % miles
from Charleston, and may be approached by
the Edisto river Heavy SIEGE guns IL Ia
said, have been landed on Seabrook's island,

A NOVEL DINNER PARTY. - The New
York Home journal says the latest bit of up
town news is the exceeding sumptuousness
of two successive dinner parties, given to two
betrothed ladies by wealthy bachelor OF their
acquaintance, each party numbering about
twenty persons, and the latter one including
General and Mrs. Mcclellan among its guests.
One very expensive and exquisite difference
from ordinary parties consisted in the novel
furnishing of the table. 1t wasoval shaped, but
with the white cloth only encircling its outer
rim, the whole interior being an exqusitely ar
ranged parteree, filled with the most costly
and sumptuous flowers, set in wet sawdust
and moss, and the air being thus laden with
fragrance, while the dinner was handed round
in dainty succession of choice dishes, accord
ing to the beautifully printed cartes distrbut-
ed TO all. AT the close OF the dinner each lady
guest took las present from the host one Of
those costly and superb baskets Of flowers
which had ornamented the center of the Ia
ble-the beautiful burden of the banquet being
thus borne away by the most admired of the
admiring bachelors.
