BG@ The Maori (New ZeaIand) rebels
are hard pushed for percussion caps, and
resort to ingenious methods of procuring
them. A colonial paper says that the
" latest instance of their cleverness was
discovered when a native woman offered
a sovereign for quantity of little brass
eyelet-holes, such as ladies use in lacing.
Inquiries were made, and it turned out
that the Maoris required them for per-
cussion caps, having found that the top
of O. common lucifer match, inserted in
the centre of one of these eyelet-holes,
answered every purpose" - s

The News Of Grants Victory In Eng
land

The news of Gen Grants victory has
reached England, and is made the sub
iect of various comments in the London
journals. The Morning Star calls the
battle "the Waterloo of the South" and
adds:
1t is very doubtful whether the discom-
flied forces of that unlucky and unpopu
lar commander, Bragg, can be induced
to make another stand. An officer who
does not know what to do with victory
when, by chance, he has won it-who
loses, by inaction, those days and weeks
which his adversary employs in gaining
strength-who is obliged to renouuce a
most advantageous position, and yet Is
unable to retire from it without mourning
total defeat-an officer whose whole ca
reer seems to have been one rather of
terror to his own soldiers than to the en-
emy-is not the man to retrieve so terri
bic disaster as that just sustained.
The Times styles General Grsns q the
most active and successful commander
whom the Fsderals possess whose pes
enee has turned the fortunes of the cam
paign," but comforss its Secessionist
friends with some explanations of the
cause of Braggs defeat:
] If the Sopshern army has suffered by
the contipaance in command of an inef-
ficient General, the Confederate Govern
ment Sill have supported its nominee at
a veey great cost. The Southern soldiers
are described as demoralized and pos
sessed by perfect panic, and, though
this may be only the exaggerated style
current in the country, it may well be
conceived that retreat under discred-
tied General after disastrous battle is
not likely to have been conducted with
the good order which allows defeat to be
rom edied. .sS
But, whatever may be said of the
| Confederate commander, or whatever
explanation may be given of the details
Of this battle, we think the true expla
nation of the campaign is to be found in
the weakness of the Southern army
This has been the fatal disadvantage o.
the Confederates all through the war,
: and they probably suffer from it now
more than e
The Times, However, remarks IN ad
dition TO these explanations T:
: We have little doubt that the main
cause of the retreat OF Gen. Bragg from
the point where he had done so much
and was expected to do more, has beer
the belief that at present he is not in 6
condition to oppose the powerful leyies
which have been placed under the com
mand of Gen Grant. ~ g
The Morning Herald, the bitter enemy
of our Government, isnot without hops
that the disaster to Bragg may not prove
irretrievable, but adds:
Friendly as we are to the Gonfeder
ate cause, we are still prepared to lool
the very worst in the face, and that wors
something far beyond anything that ha
yet befallen"
The Examiner, which has been strong
ly seeessionist says that the defeat o
Bragg is not decisive, but nearer to tn
decisive than any reverse of the fortun
of war that has yet occurred.

~ CAPTURE OF GUERRILLAs,-We have
on several occasions made mention of
the fact that the guerrillas were very
troublesome in the Southern portion of
the State. making frequent raids through
the different counties A short time
since Col. John a. Order, who is sta
toned at Franklin, Kentucky, sent out
from tha6 place a Scouting party who
succeeded in capturing eight notorious
guerrillasswho are portionlof the gang
who burned the house of Mr. Hall, in
Logan county, a short time since. These
prisoners were brought to oureity last
evening and confined in the military
prison. They are hard looking set OF
fellows, and no doubt exists that they
are notorious guerrillas, and belong to
the different bands who have made raids
through the Southern counties of the
State committing all sorts of depreda
tons upon our eitizens. They claim tc
belong to the Eighth, Twenty-third and

Col. James q. Homes.

On our first page we publish an inter-
esting correspondence growing out of the
presentation of handsome sword and
belt to eur townsman, Col Jones, by the
officers of his old regiment,-the 42d-
and Capt Orr and Mr.. Patterson, both
of whom were formerly connected with
the regiment in the @. NJ. Department.
For many months Col. Jones has been
suffering from severe affection, and has
been unable to keep with his regiment in
the field. To no one has this dispense
ton been so yexatious as to himself.
From 9he first organization of the regi-
ment, he exercised fathers care over
the men, increasingly looking after their
comfort and was neutrality-suspicious. in
providing means to preserve their lives
and health. While Gen. Crittenden's
corps was encamped at Calhoun, on
Green River, Col Jones's camp was al
ways pointed to as model of neatness
and comfort, and though much sickness
prevailed among the men on account of
be malarious character of the locality,
Were the army was encamped, it is safe
tc say, that many valuable lives were
preserved by the thoughtful and saga
clos suggestions of the Col onel to his
me- This fatherly care for the COM
fortof his command, could not other
wisehan attach the regiment to its Col
onel. Nor has their affection for him
grown old during the long months of

ment hapassed, since he was Compel
