The Thirteenth is disposed to be just
a trifle jealous of the good fortune Of
lis neighbor, the Eighth-General Cob
| ms old regiment. The strong person
al friendship existing between the brig
adler and his former aide-de-camp,
| Lieutenant Norris brought about the
displaC ement of Adjutant Mates as
brI. adjutant general pro tern.
Three of the five permanent orderlie s
Gle. Is also fell to the lot Of the Eighth.
while ;he Thirteenth and Twelfth ha :
to be satisfied with one apiece. The
Twelfth, however, was consOled in ad-
vance for this whatever-it- might be-
termed by having one of it's men, Lieu
tenant Nichols substituted for Lieu
tenant lnglis, of the Thirteenth, as
brigade quartermaster during the day
and a half that transpired between the
assignment and arrival Of Captain
John Brooke, the West Pointer who
was named by the president as the
permanent incumbent. The lucky
Eighth is wisely refraning from
boasts as there are three aides yet to
be detailed, and General Goblin knows
that the Thirteenth's ranks can furn-
ish just the material wanted for these
positions.
Captain COball, who spent a week
with us as cOmmissary of subsistence
on Colonel Coursen's brigade staff, is

"son-of- his ather," but it Is such a
striking example of the Injustice i'm
question that there is an undoubted H.
cense to print 1t, and particularly now
when the matter is so generally dis
cussed. Captain Coball is about q
years of age, quite OF n boyish appear
ance and rather youthful in manner
lie is a member of one of the pro-
verbal First Families Of Virginia, u
and a protege of Senator Daniel. A
cOmmissary of subsistence on a bri-
gade looks after the feeding OF 5000
men, Captain Cobalt never belonged
to any military organization, and he
himself admitted what was very APP
