A consul or commercial agent needs
what is called an exequatur "; and
it was, we suppose, because it was
reported from Vienna that the Austrian
Government would not grant an exc
ouatur to Mr.. CHARLES JONAS as
Consul to Prague that the New York
Herald's correspondent jumped to the
conclusion that Mr.. KELLEY needed
an instrument of writing Of the same
sort.
AS we said yesterday, however, we
say now that if the Austrian Govern
ment refuses TO receive Mr.. KELLEY
the United States Government ought to
decline to send any Minister to Aus
tria. Mr.. WEBSTER once offended the
Austrian Government by saying that,
compared with the area Of the United
States, +" the possessions of the house
Of HAPsBURG were but q patch upon

Dear Dispatch: Please give an old
ex-Confederate comrade space TO dis
claim with thanks some poSt-bellum
promotion most graciously accorded
him by the author Of the above-named
charming book Of war "reminiscences.
| am only " General" by courtesy, not
commission, and hasten to make this
disclaimer to prevent unkind anticipa-
ton.
And what q charming little volume
of "reminiscences is this production
Of Mr.. Figg's. But then he had un-
usual material to work up, for Parker's
"boys" are not-were not-of the
average sort. They deserved every COM
pliment paid them by that gallant nan,
Stephen ID. Lee, whose eminence in every
soldierly Characteristic is known of all.
And these boys were fortunate in their
other officers, for Alexander's gallantry
on the field was as marked as his singu-
lar scholarly devotion to the scientific
phase Of war. AS to Huger, he has
inherited and maintained the traditions
of line Of knightly ancestors second
to none.
My connexion with the company was
as brief as it was pleasant. / was
with them in only one battle-Sec-
ond Manassas, and / remember
having remarked at the time how
inspiring to US all was the elan
they displayed game Of handy could
hardly have excited them more. And
there was their captain, coolly playing
the surgeon while giving a general
direction to his guns.
Maybe this splendid company's per-
sistent good luck kept them from being
long under the orders Of yours faith
