ton 10 the War Department, dated July %, 1853,

West -
General McPherson has been with me in every
battle since the commencement Of the Rebell0s,
except Belmont. At FOrs Henry, Donelson,
Shiloh and the siege Of Coriuth, as d stan uih'er
and engineer, his services were conspicuous and
highly mtriiOrious. Al the second battle of
COrinth his skill as solder was displayed In
succt ssfully carrying reiuiorccmenls to the be-
sifgtd garrison when the enemy was between
him and the pOittto be reached.
In the adyano, through Central Mississippi last
Move mb,r and December, General McPhcrs0n
commanded ore wing Of the army with all the
ability possible 10 show, he having the lead In
the advance and the rear returning.
in the campaign AID siege terminating with
the fall Of Nicksburg, General Mcpherson has
filed a conspicuous part. At the battle Of Port
Gibson It was nnder his direction that the enemy
was driven, late In the afternoon, from position
they had succeeds, q iu holding all dav against m
obstinate attack. His corps, the advance always
under his immediate eye, were the pioneers In
the advance on Port Gibson to HankersOn's
Ftuy,
FIom the north fork Of the Bayou Pierre to
Black river Is was a constant skrmish, the
whole skiliully managed. The enemy was 30
closely pre- sed as TO be unable 10 destroy their
bridge of boats after them. From HankersOn's
Ferry to Jackson, the l7th Army Corps marched
roads not travelled by other troops, fighting the
entire battle OF Raymond alone, and the bulk OF
'Ohuston's army was fought by this corps, en-
tifDly under the management Of General
MCPbersOn.
At ThompsOn's Hill, the 18th Corps and Gene
raj Mcpherson were conspicuous Al ~ a C5,!lG
b. teTmed battle, the - Odgdt by the diyi-
sions of Gener y Z. iiorsOn's Corps, and HOvey 3
Division ofvthe 18th Corps. In the assault of the
22d of June, on the fortifcations Of Vicksburg,
and daring the entire siege, General Mcpherson
and his command took unlading laureIs. He is
one Of our ablest engineers and most skilful
generals.

The Ghebers believe that when Abraham was
thrown into the fire by NimrOd, the flame turned
into bed Of roses. The Turks have an idea
that II sprung from the sweat of Mahomet, aud
they cause rose to be sculptured on the mouu-
ments of oil young women who die unmarried
The NEUROLOGICAL writers say that Apollo caused
Rhopante, Queen of COrinth, in Consequence Of
her extreme beauty, to be changed into
rose. The rose is said to be given
by Hypocrates, to the god of silence, to
engage him TO conceal the unbecOming con-
duct Of his mother Venus and hence it was made
the symbol of silence. A rose was always placed

General Hood.

II appears that General Joe Johnston has been
relieved from duty in command of the Rebel
army in Georgia. The reason for this has not been
made public, and may be either dissatisfaction
on the part of the Richmond authorities with
the way he has managed or desire, through
consideration of his feelings, 10 call him 10 some
other field before the expected Federal Occupa-
tion OF Atlanta.
Johnston's successor Is John b. Hood, who has
lately been made a Lieutenant General IN the
Confederate service. He is a native of Ken
tucky, and graduated mt West Point Ia 1853,
though without special marks of honor. On his
graduation he was assigned as brevet Second
Lieutenant 10 the ith Infantry. In 1855 he was
transferred TO the I'd Cavalry, with detachment
Of which Le had gallant conflict with body of
Camanche and Lpan Indians near the head of
the San Pedro river, Texas, in July, 1857. In
this affair he was wounded.
The next year he was promoted TO be First
Lieutenant. He resigned his commission in April,
1861, and was appointed a Brigadier-Ge in
the Southern army. For long time he served
in Lees army, and on being promoted Major
General, was assigned 10 command the Sd Diyi-
sion of LoDgstreet's Corps. He is esteemed a
dasbing and fiery officer, but his exploits since
superseding Johnston do not show that the Rebels
have gained anything by this change.

THE CENTRAL PARK.-We have received some
accounts of the forthcoming picture of Central
Park, by Martcl, which leads MS to believe the
work will be worthy of the great subject it illus
trates. The view is to be a bird's-eye chromo-
lithOgraph, which will take in the whole Of our
magnificent pleasure ground IN It's sweep. Every
detail will be elaborated with all The nicely of
art. As the only representation of the chief park
in America, the subject will be one Of national
interest, and not only for New York city, but for
the whole country. We are also given 10 under
stand that our friends in England are TO become
subscribers for this work, Of which our country
men may well be proud. The size of the picture
will be four and a half by three and half feet,
and its price six dollars. We know of no similar
work which we can so entirely recommend 10 our
readers for a parlOr or library ornament. The
publishers, Sitwell, Harris & Co., are well known
as gentlemen Of enterprise and ability, who will
carry the work TO completion as rapidly as pos
sible.-NelO York Chronicle.
