To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In looking over your paper this morning, I noticed the word Foxes" There happening to be at this time in my office veteran for hunting sent him the account.
 He replied, s'That's nothing; our company have beaten that. We killed fifteen and we don't want any bounty offered neither" He named the successful hunters thus: Smith Botsford killed four. Stephen H. Culver killed four. n Daniel Carripgton killed five. George Baldwin killed one.
 Hiram French killed one 3 1.-The most seen at any one time was four,o of which two were slain. Our legislators had better be careful how they offer bounty for foxes, for if they do they may be unseated at the next election.

Japanese Leather.Paper.

This is one of the numerous results of
Japanese art and skill. The paper is
rich aud generous in color and charm
ing in design. Some have wonderful
bits of detail, amidst mass of sug-
gested form and foliage; others show
more than a suspicion of European in
fiuence. One of the latest specimens
has all the familiar features of the best
old Spanish leather, but accumulated in
a manner both novel and characteristic.
Whether drawn, however, from their
resources or elaborated on accepted
forms, they are peculiarly adapted for
interior decorations, such as dados, en-
trance halls, staircases, etc. From their
variety, both in design and color, they
can also be used with fine effect in many
other places. Apart from its value as a
decorative agent, Japanese leather
paper possesses in a large degree the
desirable quality of durability, and in
this respect thoroughly deserves its
name, being practically indestructible
when once fixed on wall.

Three Distinguished Confederate Gen.
erals.
The following is an extract from JEFF
ferson Davis's memoirs:


The following is an extract from JEFF
ferson Davis's memoirs:
When Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston
reached Richmond he called upon me,
and for several days at various intervals
we conversed with the freedom and con-
fidence belonging to the close friendship
which had existed between us for many
years. Consequent upon remark made
by me, he asked me to what duty |
would assign him, and when answered
Ill the West, he expressed his pleasure at
service in that section, but inquired how
he was to raise his command, and for
the first time learned that he had been
nominated and confirmed as q General
in the army of the Confederacy.
Gen. Robert Il. Lee had been COM
missioned by the State of Virginia as
Major-General snd commander of her
army. When the army was transferred,
after the accession of Virginia to the
Confederate States, he was nominated to
be a Brigadier-General in the Confed-
crate army, but was left, for various rea-
sons, in command of the forces in Vir-
ginia. After the seat of Government
was removed from Montgomery to Rich
mond the course of events on the South.
ern Atlantic coast induced me to direct
Gen. Lee to repair thither. Before leav-
ing he said that while he was serving in
Virginia he had never thought it needful
to inquire about his rank, but now, when
about to 90 into other States and meet
officers with whom he had not been pre-
viously connected, he would like to be
informed upon that point. Under recent
laws authorizing appointments to higher
grades than that of his first commission
he had been appointed full General e;
but so wholly had his heart and mind
been consecrated to the public service
that he had not remembered, if he ever
knew, of his advancement.
In November, 1861, reports became
current that the enemy were concen-
trating troops west of the Valley of the
Shenandoah with q view to descent
upon it. The vigilant, enterprising and
patriotic soldier, Gen. T. j. Jackson,
whose steadiness under fire at the battle
of Manassas had procured for him the
sobriquet of "Stonewall," was then on
duty rs District Commander of the
Shenandoah Valley. He was a West
Virginian, and, though he had not &C.
quired the fame which subsequently
shed luster upon his name, he possessed
well-deserved confidence among the
people of that region. Ever watchful
and daring in the discharge of any duty,
he was intensely anxious to guard hi:
beloved mountains of Virginia. This
stimulating his devotion to the genera
welfare of the Confederacy, induced him
to desire to march against the enemy
who had captured Romney. On the
goth of November, 1861, he wrote to the
War Department, proposing an expedi
ton to Romney. in Western Virginia
1t was decided to adopt his proposition
Endorsed by the commander of the de
partment, and, further to insure sue
cess, though not recommended in thu
Endorsement, his old brigade, then il
the army of the Potomac, was selected
as part of the command with which
he was to make the campaign.
