TESTIMONY or AN ENEMY TO THE IN
TEGRITY OF q EN-. DANKs.-While l have
possessed myself of an array o. facts which
will tell with fearful effect upon the subor-
dinates OF Mr.. Lincoln, when they come to
be produced, I am free TO say that General
Banks maintains his integrity, and while
his suhordinates will, ION retiring from
the service" roll in luxury from the effects
of their eyasions Of the law, and their vio-
lations of the army regulations, he himself
will go out of the service without q dollar
that is not ,egtimately his due. This ad
mission I am compelled to make; and
since Gen. Banks has steadily denied me
in every thing have asked, since he took
Gen. Buffers place year ago, l shall not
be charged with having any special reasons
or doing him justice. An incident occur
red in Gen. Banks headquarters yesterday.
which will give your readers faint idea
Of how much interest is felt in this war by
the "patriotic men {" who get up regiments
and companies for the service.
Enter an ex-colonel Of a Massachusetts,
regiment, and after waiting for an inter
view, a colloIuy something like the follow
ing occurs:
Ex-Col.-'Good morning, general
Gen. B.-'Good morning, sir, am very
happy to see you,
Ex-Col.-General, called to ask YOU for
pass to go to New IBERIA.
Gen. B.-'Your name is -
Ex-Col.-'Yes, sir
Gen. B.-sYou were colonel OF the Mas
sachusets regiment.
Excel. Yes, sir, l did command that
regiment
Gen. B.-sAnd you resigned your COM
mission to engage in speculation =
ExCol.-'Why, general, you would not
suppose should continue in the service
when I saw a chance to make twenty or
thirty thousand dollars in a few months!
Gen. B.-Sir, did not come here to make
money by speculation, and it is becaus men
!ikeyourself are,willingto see my command
broken up, if they can accomplished their
own purposes, that this department is in
no better condition to-day. give no pas
SEES to New Iberia, sir, and especially
shall not grant one toyoU. Good morning,
sir.
Exit x-colonel-evidently considering
how he shall set to New Iberia without
Ter.
GA-We have received the first number
Of the "Horn Ertr0,' published semi oc-
sionally by our soldiers at Indianola, Tex
as, from which we copy the following:
For the information OF our readers, we
take the liberty to give brief notice of
Gen. Eitz Henry Warren, U. S. Vols, UNI
der whose command we have been but a
short time. During our recent operations
we have had excellent opportunities to be-
come acquainted with his manner of con-
Quoting a campaign and commanding an
army in the field, and do not hesitate to
say that he is eminently fitted for any po-
sition to which he may be assigned. He is
| a strict Observation-Disclosures lrlny both Off
GERS and soldiers to discharge their duties
promptly, while he is most faithful To all
his duties being, so to speak, present eve
l nj l,pxe,,
ness connected with his command. In
short, he is all energy, and is interchangeable
| in his exertions to promote the welfare and
| see to the interests and comfort of his men.
We like him-the boys all like him.
| THE INAUduRAL.-The inaugural Adj
dress of Gov. Stone, delivered yesterday,
will be found in the Register to-day. 1t
was addressed to the largest audience ever
before gathered inside OF the Capitol, was
exceedingly well delivered, and most en-
Enthusiastically received. Its illusions to
measures Of State policy were brief, be-
cause these topics were presented at length
in the Message of Gov. kirkwood. OF Ma
tional affairs, it speaks, appropriately, very
| fully. 1t examines the question OF the re-
construction of the rebellious States, as
Stunning that there has been traitorous
usurpation of local government therein,
and that the loyal inhabitants are entitled
TO- and should receive, the protection of the
Federal Government in their endeavCrs to
put into renewed action the functions of
State rule. In brief, the Inaugural is,
upon this subject prompt and affirmative
response from the newly chosen Governor
of Iowa to the Message and Proclamation
of the President, issued in December That
Gov. Stone, in his treatment OF this and
other subjects connected with the prosecu-
ton OF the War has faithfully reflected the
will Of the loyal masses of the State, was
evident from the enthusiastic admiration
with which his language was received
The Inaugural throughout is a document
which does credit to its author, and will
be heartily endorsed by the people OF Iowa

i THE QUICKEST PAsssAaE.-Tne late ex.
ltraordinary passage Of the Inman Compa-
II ny's steamer City of New York, com
manded by Captain Kennedy, has created
! quite a sensation in nautical circle in Llv-
erpool, and the abstract of her log, which
was posted in the Liverpool Exchange
Newsroom yesterday, was source OF con-
ltinnal interest during the day. -~e~--.

City of New York was so great and so reg.
ular throughout the passage, that we con.

How THE WHISKY GoEs.-An amusing
incident transpired last winter at ral
mouth. Gen. Burnside ordered severa
hundred barrels of commissary whisky {
be sent down from Washington to Acquia
Creek, before his move in the mud. Lieut.
=, S0th New York, acting as Brigade
Commissary in Getty's Division, sent re.
peatedly to the Creek for supply; but
every barrel that was furnished him would
disappear from the cars before reaching
Falmouth-rumor having it that the rogue
ish Hawkins Zouaves ''gobbled" them.-
At length desparing of obtaining any o
the stuff by order, he proceeded personal
ly to Acquia Creek for supply. He OBJ
tanned one barrel, and, standing it up II
the car, seated himself upon the top, conf
