The Richmond correspondent Of the
New York Times, a Mr.. Brooks, was
pummelled rather severely by Mr.. Pol
lard, of tho Examiner, a few days since.
We look for Mr. Ben G. Truman, a cor
respondent of the same paper, now in
Tennessee, to be honored in like manner.
In a letter from Nashville he writes:
WHEREABOUTS OF PROMINENT Ex-coNrRD-
ERATE GENERALS OF TENNESSEE.
The ex.Confederates of Tennessee, like
the ex-Confederates of other States which
1 have visited, have donned their citizens
clothes, and are now engaged in yarious
peaceful pursuits. Lieut.. Col. A. z, Stew

months of ruralizing, has gone into the

Stewart was fine officer: and commanded
the Confederate right wing at the battle
of Nashville. Major General John e.
Brown, whowas wounded at the battle OF
Franklin, is practicing law in Nashville.
He is brother OF Ex-Governor Neil >.
Brown. General Gordon who was cap
tured at Franklin, has gone to Texas
He has resided in Texas before the war,
but upen the breaking out Of the rebel
lion he came to Tennessee and raised q
company. Major General Quarles, who
was badly wounded in Franklin, is In
New York with his brother, who was for
merly member of Congress from the
Clarksville District. Quarles had lately
married rich Mobile girl. I called on
him about a year ago, and he spoke very
kindly of the Federal officers, and prom
ised to make DR.. Cliff, a prominent Union
man of Franklin, Minister to England,
when he (Quarles) should have become
President of the Southern Confederacy.
Quarles is 8 lawyer by profession, and .
worry clever gentleman. He told me, just
one year ago, that things looked squally,
but he added that if he recovered ne

practicing law. The latter was fine Of

master at Nashville, and was better at
that than at fighting. The only big
thing that Anderson ever done was to
demand the surrender of Nashville in the
fall of ls62-that's all he did. When
Negley told him he could not have the
city if he would tako it, he took-himsef
off. Battle was once captured at Shiloh.
He put on considerable airs at the time,
but nobody was hurt. Gen. Mark Wright
is taking it very easy in the practice OF
law and in testing wbisky-he may be
said to be lawlessly engaged. Gen. Frank
