officers one Of them q colonel, finding
that they could not obtain the chairs BY
any other means, seized them by force
and made Off with them. They had
endeavored to make, the owner take
money for them, but he had flung the
proffered greenbacks on the floor, After.
they had been gone some time a cavalry
officer rode up to the house, called Mr..
Maclane out, thrust ten dollas note in
h,s hand, and shouting, "this is for the
colonel's chair" rode off In hot haste.
General Ord and General Custar are
both on the track Of fthese gentlemen, and

GENERAL LEES HEADQUARTERS. ~
! Capt. AtChison, of Gen. Ord's staff,
was sent to the, rebel lines tonight in an
ambulance to visit Gen. w. r. Lee ON
business. He found the General in
shelter tent, with his staff and numerous
general officers collected around fire in
front. Whatever may have been the
hardships to which his men were .rel
duced, the Generals were still able to
look after their own comforts. and to am.
ply supply their hquor chests with a
variety of alcoholic drinks. They appear.
ed as general thing to be exceedingly
gloomy. Anopimon seemed to prevail
among them that there weald be another
war within ten years. Some.of them
saidit would be dangerous for the United
States even to engage in war with
foreign power with such volcano slum,
