SUPPLEMENT
The Uniqn and Rebel Generals.
A RECREATION ON NAMES.

Celebrity Is considered plS tine N
war. So is promptness. We believe
there is only one General in the Southern
army who always gets up Farley, albeit
there was one, that resigned, who was
habitually Pryor in rising. Though the
rebel officers are rather noted for rapid
movements, there are two decided Poixs
among them, and one who is continually
coming, yet does not come along.
But we have Slocum ourselves, and
though we may have a General Hunt after
the rebels, some of our commanders, in
Guiding the old Hunter himself, OCCASION
ally fail to bag the rascals, seeing which,
General Ketchum ought to resign, unless
he can prove that he knows Howe. By
hanging on the enemys rear, it seems to
us that General Hindman, at least, ought
to be caught. ,r,..
This war has brought forward, more or
less conspicuously, several military names:
There are Pickett of Virginia, Battle of
Tennessee, and Slaughter of Alabama, on
the rebel side. Phier would do to put IN
the band, and Field isn't inappropriate for
d scene of operations. Steele is not so bad
either, and we find Steele common to both
armies. There is no use for Shields in
our modern warfare, at any rate since the
Shenandoah Valley campaign of 1852,
though the rebels continue to employ Ar
cheers. .-'--
Mountainous as some parts Of the South
are, there are two Hills down there that
seem to be particularly hard to get over,
and Breckenridge. Dense FORESTS,
heavy Woods, and difficult Rhodes are
occasionally to be seen. Boggs and
Brooks diversity the prospect, though it
must be stated that the latter are not pro-
duced by Rains of North Carolina, and
of course not by the Rains that fell at
Stone River. We don't know much about
the rebel Lane, but we are advised that
this is different from the famous Long
street. How long that is we are not ap-
prised, though we have seen the mention
of Miles. In our army we have no Gene
raj Hills. We have Meade, Parke,
| Woods, Brooks and Tower; the latter,
however, not remarkably tall.
There is no whisky in the Southern ar
my, owing, we suppose, to the difficulty
of procuring that article. There is, how
ever, or lately was, Kimmel and whatever
ale can be got out of Adams. As to our
own army, although we keep Butler, we
don't indulge in anything stronger than
Meade. There is Porter on the list,
though he is out at present. This refers
to the Andrew brand. Fitz-John mot
Demi-iohn) Porter the Administration
swore off from in November, 1852. What
with the laws of Congress in regard to the
abolition of sailors grog. and General
| Grants temperance order in the Army OF
the Potomac, we may perhaps look for to-
tai abstinence some of these days. George
Washington Morell is one our Brigadier
Generals; we wish all Brigadier Generals
and Major Generals, too, for that mat
ter-were as moral as George Washington.
As the rebels seem to have thrown the
Lees of their society into the war, the me-
chanics and tradespeople are not remark
ably well represented. There are two
| Coopers, Gardener, Leadbeater and
TAYLOR or two. The rebels have their
Parsons, and we have our Pope. The
only working men represented among our
Generals are the Potters and Taylors, al
ways excepting the Smiths, and the rebels,
by the way, have them, too.
We don't see how the enemy can want
food. as long as they have Hogg, Mouton,
and greens. On the other hand, if we
should ever get out of beef, we can fall
back on our Viele. We hear that General
Pike, who resigned the Confederate service
some time ago, is making overtures for
pardon. Ills case will probably be turned
over to Provost Marshal General Fry.
There has been a great deal of talk about
National Banks, carried on through the
Treasury Department. 1t will not, how
ever, escape notice that the War Depart
ment has also its National Banks located
in Louisiana and Texas. ....l
If the Administration fails to put down,
cut to pieces, and bore out this internal
rebellion, it will not be for want of tools.
We have Sickles, and we have Shears, nor
must we forget the old Barlow. We don't
lust now remember much that has been
done BY our Augur, but We have several
that would not bore. We might make
some sharp remark about General Blunt,
but punning disagrees with US. ..
The rebels have General named Trim
BILE. He must be relative of our General
ricketts,. They have also General With
ers; we hope he will be wrung. "Let the
qaLled Jade vince" General Wise is a
well-known Confederate. We can beat
that; we have General Solomon. There
is, we believe, only one General Cheatham
in the enemy's forces by name, though
large number in point of fact. We are
afraid there is more than one General
Hooker in the Federal ranks.
The Confederates say they are fighting
for their homes. Until recently, Holmes
was fighting for them, but none to hurt.
jeff. Davis has Just put Price upon Ar
kansas land, but we reckon Red River
will run redder yet if he stays in that Vi
cinity. They say the stream is coming
up, but it is Rank, and the latest quota
tons reported Steele going down.
They have q General in the South named
Corse. He had better 60 to Toombs.
The Secesh have buried two Garnetts.
The Federals have a brilliant Stone yet
above ground.
To US it has always seemed rather sim
gular that Briggs and Vessels should not
be in the navy. Well, let that pass. 1t
is a matter for Welles.
The rebel army is bad off for shoes.
Part Of it was OF one time Frost-bitten.'
Our army might be able to get along with
out Schurz.
!. We have Couch, and the enemy Pill
low. If they were together, we reckon
the former would be on top.
Oh, pshaw! This is all nonsense; let's
