SOME of our contemporaries state that the
rebel Generals JONAS and JENGiNs, who are
rspor ted klie in the great battles on the
R,pldan, are the guerrilla leaders who have
infested Western Virginia since the begin
ming OF the war We think this must b
mistake, for it said, upon good authority,
that JENKINS is somewhere in this depart
ment. There are several JoNEsEs in the reb.
ell army, but we are unable to say which one
is killed Tue JENKINS whose death is rer
ported was, we believe, South Caro!iniaa
aud graduate OF West Point, The dis
patches leave it uncertain whether theSa
Generals were killed by GRANTS soldiers or
by BurLER's. The better opinion seems to
be that they were in that portion Of Beau
regards army which was defeated by BIT,
LrR near Petersburg.

GENERAL BANKS DEPARTMENT has be

GENERAL BANKS DEPARTMENT has De
come one of the darkest spots OF the war
bv his second failure. The New York
"T1Mes,' noting what has occurred in the
Red River, asks
.Does not common sense and common
humanity to say nothing of strategy, de.
mand that we should stop chasing up and
down-stop seduciug unfortunate people
into swearing allegiance to us when we can
make them no return in permanent protec-
tion-stop collecting contrabands, whom ace
can neither feed, clothe doctor or teach, and
attend to our legitimate duties nearer home
Here is wisdom, but at the eleventh hour,
and alas, at what cost the Editor shall an
swer for himself
"He has lost one third of his army, twen'
t.; or thirty guns, perhaps twice as much
BAGGAGE as the force which defeated him
has had in its possession for the last year,
and 81 900, 900 in greenbacks. Nor 1t this
all: it appears by letter from which we
published extracts Yesterday, that there
are but three feet of water on the shoals at
Alexandria, while large portion OF our
eunboats are still above. Several OF the
eunboats have been disabled, and guerrlllas
swarm a ong both banks Of the Red River
from Grand Ecore to Fort de Russy. This
is a painful close to an expedition which
was to extinguish the rebellion in the whole
region west Of the Mississippi, and drive
Kirby Smith, Dick Taylor and Magruder
into the "illmitable perspective y And IL
must not be forgotten that while this Is 60
ing ON upon the Red River, the enemy IS
reappearing along the Mississippi; Nicks-
burg and Memphis are both threatened,
and the navigation IS being again endan-
gered at all points.
But after all, We are inclined to think
Can. BANKS is not so much TO blame for
the disasters which have befallen his army

FEMALE Treasury CLERKs.-The plan
of employing female clerks in the Treasury
Department is failure through the infa
nous conduct of members of Congress,
who were not content with keeping mis-
tresses at the seat of government, but OBJ,

paid from the National Treasury. This is
depth of infamy that the whole world can

ANECDoTE OF FRANKLIN.--At one time
the rich merchants and professional men o.
Philadelphia proposed TO form themselves
into social circle, from which all mechan
les were to be excluded. The papers were
drawn up for this purpose and presente
to DR.. Franklin for his signature. On tx
aiming its contents he remarked that he
could not consent to write his name, mas
much as by excluding mechanics from their
circle, they had excluded the Almighty,
who was the greatest mechanic of the Uni
verse.
