The grateful duty remains of appropriately no.
ticing those whose position, as well as gallantry
attracted attention. The division commanders
behaved most nobIy and exhibited all those high
qualities so requisite in officers of their grade
coolness, courage, Judgment and personal atten-
ton to small, as well as great matters. General
Breckenridge says of his brigade commanders, "to
Brig Gen. Stoval, to Col. Lewis, who succeeded
to the command of Helms brigade; to Col, R, L.
Gibson, who succeeded to the command of Ad
ams's brigade, the country is indebted for the
courage and skill with which they discharged their
arduous duties.'
Gen. CIeburne says AZ have already inciden-
tally called attention to the gallant conduct of
Brig Gen. Polk, but it is due to him and to the
country, which wishes to appreciate its faithful
servants, to say that to the intrepidity and stern
discrimination OF purpose of himself and men,
was principally indebted for the success OF the
charge on Sunday evening, which drove the enemy
from his breast-WOrks and gave us the battle.
Col. Mills is entitled to be remembered also, lead.
ing his regiment through the battle until the fall
Of his brigadier--the lamented Deshler-he was
called by seniority to command the brigade,
which he did with galantry." The extraordinary
merit of Col. B. j. Hill Of the Goth Tennessee,
came under my personal observation. This noble
ohcer has been distinguished on many a hard
fought field, and has been c0utent with q subordl-
nate position provided he can serve his country,
Colonel NJ, P. Lowry has been deserVedty pro-
NOTED, and Worthier object OF advancement
could not have been selected.
Both division commanders speak IN the highest
terms of their staff officers,
Ny own staff at all times and under all circum,
stances rendered Jealous, efficient and intelligent
service.
Major j. W. Ratchford, Captain West and Lieut.
Reid, who have been with me from the outbreak
Of the war, exhibited their usual coolness and
judgment on the field. The latter was severely
wounded. Lieut.. Col. Anderson A. A. g., whose
services have been so Invaluable to me as an adiu-
tant, was equally efficient on the field, His horse

PROSECUTING A PRISONER.

"Mr. Davis since his imprisonment,
has twice had bis hair cut. On the FIRST
occasion Gen. Miles took possession of the
hair which was shorn. On the second
occasion Mr. Davis carried off his hair to
bis quarters, but soon an orderly came
dashing up from the General and demand
ed the hair, but Mr.. Davis had already
destroyed it.
"The late Confederate President is al
LEVIED to walk upon the rsmparts. Re-
Gently large number of ladies, friends
of Gen. Miles, posted themselves in such
a way that Mr.. Davis would have to pass
them. Mr.. Davis, seeing their object,
turned back towards bis quarters. The
ladies were not to be thus deprived, SO
they followed after him at a good pace,
whereupon Mr.. Davis seated himself and
lit cigar, the odor of which must have
been offensive to their delicate senses,
for Gen. Miles sent word next day that
Mr.. Davis was not to be allowed any
more cigars"
The above extract, from correspond
ent Of the Baltimore Gazette, tells whole
disgraceful story. That such things
should occur in our midst is a striking
commentary on our boastsd civilization,
but that they should excite no special
wonder and call forth no expression Of
indignant reprobation, proves how rapid
ly we have detereorated and how COM
plete has been our decentralization. Not
long ago such an occurrence, supposing
il possible, would have moved the coun.
try from end to end, and every man
would have felt that his own honor was
by tact acquiescene in such
cruelty. Now, how is it?
Surely the character OF a country is Of
more value than territorial integrity,
and how can he who is anxious for the
unity be Indifferent to the glory Of the
Republic. Cruelty to prisoners would
arnish the escutcheon of any nation, and
/, patriot President would incur any re-
'ponsibiity rather than bis native land
hould be stained with so foul blot.

that prompted my action. The situation
Of affairs is such that we can neglect no
means calculated to develop the resourc.
es we possess to the greatest extent, and
make them as efficient as possible. To
this esd. it is essential that we should
have the cheerful and hearty support of
the people and the full confidence Of the
soldiers, without which our efforts would
be embarrassed, and our means Of resist
ance weakened. lave reluctantly arrived
at the conclusion that you cannot com.
mand the united and willing cooperation
which is so essential to success. Your
reverses in the Valley, Of which the pub
lie and the army judge chiefly by the re-
suits, have, / fear, impaired your indu~
ence both with the people and the soldiers,
and would add greatly to the difficulties
which will, under any circumstances, att
tend our military operations in South
western Virginia. While my own con.
fdence in your ability, zeal and devotion
to the cause is unimpsired, l have never

We are pleased to inform our distant resd-
ers that the prospects for a crop of cotton in
the prairie lands of Mississippi and fair
crop at that, are daily improving. The freed
men are to a very considerable extent cos
tracing for the yesr, and idlers and vagrants
are encountered much less frequently upon
our streets than of yors. 1t is our honest
opinion that by the middle of this month
there will not be an unemployed negro on

Bishop Potter, of New York, IN sermon
delivered last week, was very severe on ope-
ratio singing in the Episcopal churches of
New York city. The whole thing, be said,
had become a scandal; it was time to speak
out about it, and it was time it was suPpress-
ed. The Prayer Book contained an abun-
dance of beautiful and impressive hymns,
suited to every stage of life, and these, he
said, should be used.

Gilmore Simms proposes to collect and pub

several States of the late Confederacy during
the progress of the war Of secession, and re-

cidents. He requests that copies of all such
may be sent him by their several writers, at
the earliest possible period. He could wish
that each piece should be accompanied by
the name of the periodical or paper in which
it originally appeared. The date should be
given where this is possible. Conmunics.

Restoration of the Southern States
to the Union,

The following information, which il
communicated to the public by the Wash.
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun. is almost too coed to be true. If,
indeed, the President has determined
thus to carry out the policy Of restoration
which be has so successfully adhered to
from the commencement of his admins =.
tratiou, we may well hope that the days
of the Radicals are numbered, and that
the utmost endeavors of Stevens, Sumner
and their allies of every hue will prove
Of little avail, as against the irresistible
party which it is in Mr.. Johnson's power
to organize on the platform of the Union
and the Constitution. We quote:
The entire country will learn with
great satisfaction that the President in.
tends to issue his proclamation declaring
that the States lately in rebellion are re.
stored to the Union, and entitled to rec
ognition as loyal States, as soon as the
process Of the State rehabilitation now
going on so successfully, shall be com.
pleted. Texas and Florida are passing
through the stages necessary for their
organization as States. When the Presi,
dent shall be enabled to turn the Provis.
ional Government of those States over
to the Governors elected by the people.
he will issue the proclamation Of res
1t will be hailed with Joy
by the people throughout the country,
and it cannot fail to exert some influence
over the policy of Congress.
After this proclamation. it may be sup |
posed that no obstacle will remain to the
admission Of Southern members, unless,
indeed, it be determined by the Repub-
lican majority to keep the lately rebel
States out of the Union and under terri
torial or military governments, until GER
tain constitutional amendments be agreed
to, and certain legislative measures
adopted.

number of cases, none, however, of any
special interest or importance.
A man named Elliott, who came from
Wilson county, was arraigned on the charge
Of drunkenness. Elliott admitted to hav-
ing taken to much Tom and Jerry, but

twelve month that he had imbibed OF
the intoxicating bowl. He was fined five
dollars and sent on his way rejoicing.

A WANDERING AND ECCENTRIC VA
GRANNY esterday morning. an individ.
ual named II. De Lane, was brought before
the Police Court on the charge Of having
attempted an assault upon one of our Col.
lege street merchants. De Lane tells a
strange story about himself He says he
was in the Confederate army during most
of the war, and that, towards the close, he
was wounded in the head, the ball entering
precisely at the centre of the forehead and
coming out at the crown of the head. In
proof of this incredible story he points to
a round irregular scar directly over the
nose. His features are twisted into all
sorts Of queer shapes, and the eyes espe-
cially are drawn away into strange contor-
tiOns. He wears his hair extremely long,
falling in tangled and bushy curls over the
shoulders. And when talking a loud
whistling Of the nose is particularly notice
able, his speech being similar to that of a
person who has lost his palate. In looks,
attire and manner he is extremely eccen-
trio. He SAYS he is conversant With many
languages, which declaration is hardly to
be doubted; but whether he has ever passed

he claims or not he is certainly noticeable
character About the conduct for which
this individual was arrested, the following
seem to be the particulars: De Lane has
been circulating about the city for a num-
Der Of days, craving charity, and telling a
piteOus tale of distress, or acting in an alb
rupt and arrogant manner, as the mood
took him. On Tuesday he applied to the
president Of charitable association in this
! city, for aid. A College street merchant,
who was standing by, refused to give him
anything, whereupon De Lane became eI-
tremely exasperated drew a pocket-knife
and menaced the merchant in threaten
ing manner. The aid of the police was
called in, and the man was conveyed to the
calaboose. Yesterday morning he was
fined twenty-four dollars, and sent down to
the workhouse.

A NOVELTY N DOMESTIC ECONOMY
The PETROLEUM VAPoR STovE.-A tri.
umph of modern ingenuity and application
Of scientific principles is the petroleum
vapor stove. Think of lighting your fire,
broilingyour beefs steak, making tea or coffee
and baking biscuit all in the short space OF
twenty-five minutes; yet such can be done
with the yapor stove. This really wonder
full invention uses no chimney or hue, burns
without smoke or smell, is so light and
portable, especially the smaller sizes, that
it can be moved about anywhere and if
economy is any object, will do the cooking
of a small family for, say, seventy cents per
week. We witnessed the operations Of one
Of these vapor stoves yesterday, and are
satisfied that nothing like it, for economy
and convenience, has come before the pub
lie for years. A stove adapted especially
to heating purposes is also constructed on
similar principles. The petroleum stove
has been in use for only a twelve months,
but has met with astonishing success.
Thousands have been sold in the Eastern
cities, andwherever introduced has proved
more than satisfactory.
Columns might be written on the merits
of the invention. Different sizes of the
vspor stove are now on exhibition at the
Chamber of Commerce, on College street,
near Union, and the agents for Nashville,

speCtfully invite the ladies to call and wit
