Celebrity is considered Big thing in war. So j.
promptneos. We bel eve there is ouIy one general in
the Southern army who always gets up Eary, albeit
there was one who resigned, who was habituay Pryor
in rising. Though the rebel officers rather noted
Tor rapid movements, there two dScided P lks
among them, and one who is continually Cumming YET
does not come along
| But We have Slocum ourselves aud though We
may have General Hunt after the rebels, OF our
commanders, including the old Hunter himself occa
sonaiiy fail to bag the rascas seeing which General
ketchum ought resign unless he can prove ht
kuows Howe. By banging on to the enemys rear, il
to Us, that Gen. Hindman, at least ought be
caught.
This war has brought forward more or less conspicu
ousy, several military names There Pickett, o
Virginia. Battle of tennessee; and Slaughter, of Ala
baua on the rebel side. Pber would do to put in the
band, and Field isn't inappropriate for the scene OF
operations Steele is rot bad either and Steele
find common to both armies. There s no u.s. for
Shields in modern warfare, at any rate since the
Shenandoah valley campaign OF 1862 though the rebels
continue to employ Arcbers.
Mountainous some parts Of the South are, there
are two Hills down there that to be particularly
hard to get over and Breckinridge Dlnsa Forests
heavy Woods and difficult Rhodes are occasionally to
be seen, Boegs and Brooks diversity the prospect,
though it must be slated that the latter not pro
duced by Rains of North Carolina, and of course
by the R4ins that fell It Stone river. We don't know
much about the rebel Lare bat advised that this is
different from the somewhat famous Longsreet. How
long that is not apprised, though we have
the mention Of Miles. In our army We have no Gener-
al Hills. We have Meade, Parke, a Woods, q
Brooks and Tower the latter however, not remark
ably tall.
There is no whisky in the Southern army, owing, we
suppose to the difficulty of procuring that article
here is. however lately YVES, mmel, and what
ever ale can be got out OF Adams. AS to our
my, though we keep Butler we don't indulge in any
thing stronger than Meade. There IS Porter the
list though he is out at present. This refers to the

As the rebels seem to have thrown the Lees of their
society into the war the mechanics and trade people
are not remarkably well represented. There are two
Ooopers, Gardner, l. adbeater, and Taylor or two
The rebels have their Parsons end we have our Pope
The only working represented among our generals
are the Potters and Taylors, always excepting the
Smiths AM the Confederates, by tue way, have them
too.
We don't see how the enemy can want food as long
they have Hogg, Moutou and Greens. On the other
hand, if should ever get out of beef we can fa
back on our Vile. We hear that Gen. Pike, who re-
signed the Confederate service time ago. is making
overures for pardon. His will pronably be turn:
ed over to Provost Marshal General Fry.
There has been great deal of talk about National
Banks carried on through the Treasury Department
1t will not however, escape notice. that the War De-
parment also has its National Banks located in Louis
lana and Texas.

General Hooker in the Federal ranks
The Confederates say tL~y fighting for their
homes. Until recently Holmes Il hung for them
but none to hurt. JEFF Davis bas just put Price on
Arkansas land, bnt reckon Rel river will run redI

stream is coming up, but it is Rank and the latest
quotations reported Steele going down.
