We know that nothing else is thought of, read of, or would be half as no. ceptablo to our readers. Let us all give three cheers, and thank God. per- Let us havo a Torch bight Procession to-morrow evening, in honor of the great vie • tories of Roanoke, Forts Henry, Donelsou and Savannah. Why not? per,. The Volunteer this week has a politi cal lender which is literally reeking with treason. Among other traitrous paragraphs, -(whichrwe - do not tare TOffotiee at present,) is one abusing the administration for its settlement of the Trent question. Jeff Davis, and his confreres did the same thing when they received the intelligence of the amicn• blo adjustment of that trouble. Ihe bond of sympathy is apparent. _ M).., The Volunteer can't see wherein Bright's disloyalty consisted.. Neither does Jeff. Davis. PERSONA L—NVe are gratified to learn that Gen. G. W. BOWMAN, formerly editor of the Bedford Gazette, having purchased the fine residence of Mr. JAMES HOFFER, on West Pomfret street, is about to become a resi dent of our borough. Gen. B. is well known throughout the State and country as au ardent politician of the Democratic school ; has held many offices of honor and trust, and barring his politics, will make a valuable' and useful member of our community. MORE GOOD_ NEWS "LISION REJOICINGs.— The ;scent glorious victories of the Federals in Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina —the capture of Forts Henry and Donnelson, the destruction of the rebel fleet on the Ten nessee river, the capture of Roanoke Island, and the general success of our arms within the last few days, have added new zeal to the patriCtlic spirit of the free people of the North. In many of our towns and cities, Nation-al sa lutes were fired, and the stars and stripes un-' furled to the breeze. In Carlisle, on Monday, when the good news was received, many of our-oitizensv displayed the national- banner, and the public heart beat quick with joy and gladness, God grant the happy tidings may continue to pour in upon us, rind this uunat crashed THROTTLING REBELLION At last McCLELLAN's grand boa-constrictor has commenced tightening his folds, and the rebels inside hisi.embyaco-writhe and squirm in an agony.of iniin . ; and trepidation. Flag. officers Goldsborougicand Foote, taking their cue from Com. Dupont, have given as their resume of his "All hands round," with what effect let the- howling rebels, and dolorous newspapers of Jeffdoru attest. The names of Burnside and Grant will hereafter be an un speakable terror to those traitrous southrous who compose the armies of Dixie. Go on, we say, in this good work, until the good old flag shall float proudly over every city and forti fication now sheltering armed treason. HISTORICAL REMINISCENCES On our first page will be found au able and graphic sketch of t •W hisk ey Insurrection," which occurred in Western Pennsylvania, in the latter part of the last century, and du ring the Administration of President WAyl INOTON. It will be seen, that then, as no v, the leaders of the rebellion were all active and influential democrats, or rather dema gogues, who by falsehood and misrepresenta tion mislead one portion of the people, and by lawlessness and violence overawed the law acid order abiding portion of the community. A careful perusal of the sketch referred to, will show the reader that the outlaws then pursued precisely the same measures to in timid lte the people and suppress public Sen timent as -did the Southern Rebels at the commencement of this unholy and insane rebellion. Did a man raise his voice against the open violation of law, tar and' feathers were applied to his person,-hie roof giVen to the flames, and his property destroyed. Such was the course pursued by the Southerp rebels. Did a Union man venture to remon strate against the hot-headed measures of these modern demagogues, his life was in jeopardy, and to escape the tyranny of the armed mob, he had either to flee from hie home or silently acquiesce in the measures' of the self-constituted leaders. Public senti ment, was completely crushed out, and the party demagogues had it all- their own way. At the present time there are thousands of Union-loving men in the South who are only waiting a fitting opportunity to strike for freedom, to crush King Mob, and renew their allegiance to the Federal Government During the excitement InWestern Pennsyl vania, and as long as the National Govern moot contented itself with me'relf,, issuing proclamations, the insurrectionists showed a bold front, and laughed to scorn the exhor tations and menaces of the constituted au thorities. When, however, the Government began to act with vigor, and to assert its authority by sending troops into the disaffect ed district, the rebel leaders became fright ened, and either submitted or fled,; the peo ple returned to their allegiance, and in a short time peace was restored to - .that section of country. It will be seen by the sketch to which we refer, that the insurrectionists had spew' thizers—aidors and abettors—in many parts of the country. Mon high in - office, both in the State and National Government, were their friends, some sooretely and others open ly, and had it not been for the judicious and - patriotic measures of Gen. WASHINGTON, our happy Union might, even at that early day, boon broken to pieces by demagogues and traitors. - We commend the artielo in question to the 'careful perusal of our readers: Stars and Stripes Floating in Ark- ansas. lOE DRIVE N_FROIU JUISSOURL- , e EN. CURTIS IN HOT PURSUIT OFFICIAL DESPATCHES Sr. Louis, Feb. 18. The following dispatch was sent from head quarters to-night : "/o Major• General McClellan, Washing ton, D.

'arkne in arkelsoniT., SE SO.IIIIGERDY.IVIELL BE KURT. -It seems that President Lincoln and-Secre tary 'Stanton, some three weeks ago,.took the management of this war in their own hands. The President thinks that the time has ar rived whoa he should assert the prerogative's guarinteed him by. the Constitution,, and exrecise practically the powers ,with which he is vested. Immediately upOrt: the an-' nouncement of his determination, some of the sensation press - set up the cry that McClel lan had been superseded in the command of the armies, and did not longer discharge the functions of Commander-in• Chief. As the self-appointed advocates of the young Gener al-have darkened the facts of the case, below we give the realconclition of things, from the New York Tribune. Gen. McClellan remains the senior Major- General and titular chief commander. in the armies of the Union, being superior in rank to every other officer, Gen. Fremont and Gen. Halleck ranking next after him. lie also commands the army of the Poto mac as horotoforb. His advice is constantly sought by the President (as is that of other competent men) as to the conduct of the oanipaign, and where it is approved it is followed. As yet, howev er, we believe the instances of serious disa greement have been few ; but there have been such instances, when the President acting upon his own judgment, has given orders contrary to the wish of Gen. McClellan. The most important change in this diroo lion made since the advent of the new Secre tary of War have consisted in ordering the commanders of Western Departments, Gen. Briell, Gon. Haßeck, and Gen. Gunter,. to report directly to the War Department, instead of reporting to Gen. McClellan, as heretofore ; and in putting• them into official communication and co-operation with each other, which Gen. McClellan had refused or neglected to do. Thus, for instance, it was previously necessary for Buell and Halleck to go to McClellan at Washington for leave or for orders, in case they wished to make any combined movement. Now they have the necessary freedom of action ; and when soever, for instance, Gen. Halleck and Gen. Popo feel themselves sure of taking Price and his army captive, as we know they felt about six weeks ago, and have made-all -their or rangeinCtits for the purpose, they 0411 no longer be forbidden to strike the' blow by telegraph from the senior Major General. Or when Gen.-Halleck-sees that as Fort -Colum= bus is -half under water, now is the day to attack it he will be allowed to act upon his own judgement as a man fit to command a hundred 'should be, dna to go ahead. In fine, let it be observed that tho time has come for real war, and not for a poor tinsel of it_Earnestness and inflexible determina tion are now at the helm, and the ship will sail OCI. If Gen. McClellan has any power of fighting in hint or any' strategic genius, he will have ample opportunities CO prove it; but the salvation of the Republic is no longer to be postponed or perilled for the sake of oysters and champagne on the Potomac. Nor lot any fool set up . the cry of a conspiracy . of the "Radicals" against him or any offer man. What the Radicals conspire against is the - Rebellion ; what - they havt prayed for is the coming of the man who will ptit,: ; :it down. And their-belief is that the present Secre tary of War is a man of that sort. In this they neither ask nor care about the Secreta ry's opinions on slavery. They believe that he is terribly in earnest ; that with him the Integrity of- the nation is no matter of parade or of. frivolity; read they•feel very naturally 0 that When such a man, charged with such responsibilities finds slavery obstructing his path of duty, slavery will have to disappear. And with that they are content. ARREST OF GEN. STONE.—Experience is a dear schoolmaster, it is said, and oven nations may profit by no other. Gen. Stone, has been the most zealous of all our Gener als in catching slaves., and outraging the loyal sentiments of Northern soldiers by obliging diem to act the part of hounds to hunt fugitives. He was careful to return the slaves of rebels, and sent flags of truce across the Potomac for this purpose In fact he never displayed so much enemy, as when performing the dirty work'Of kidnap- per of mer, who had been freed, by the rebel acts of their masters. Such a man could not be endured with true loyal senti. mente, and his loyalty, has long been sue pected, by a large portion of the northern peoplei • He may, or may not, be gikilty of the charges made against him; but ho has no heart in his country's fight, and should not be allowed to hold an important corn. mind; in any event. The charges now made against him are : First—of misconduct at the battle of Ball's Bluff; second—of holding correspon dence with the enemy, before and after the same battleland of having received,the visits of rebel officers in his camp ; third—of treachery in suffering the enemy to build a fort under his guns, since the before-men tioned battle ; fourth—of a treacherous design to expose his command to capture and destruction by the rebels, under pretense of orders from the General-M-Chief, which orders were never given. - • In view of these terrible charges, Gen Stone may well reflect on the recent express. ion of Secretary Stanton," Heretofore we have hung no traitors." If Gen. Stone is proved guilty, ho will 'soon enough know what is to be the doom of traitors hereafter, for if lie be guilty, never was mati, more guilty.

GENERAL ORDER. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. The following order wee issued to-day: WASHINGTON, Feb. 15th, 18$2 The President, commander in-chief of the army and navy,, returns - thanks to Brigadier Gen. Burnside and Flag Officer Goldshorough, and to Brigadier General Grant and Flag Of ficer Foote, and the land and naval forces un der their respective commands, for their gal lant achievement in the capture of Roanoke Island and Fort Henry. While it will be no ordinary pleasure - for him to acknowledge and reward in a becoming manner the valor of the living,_he also recog- nizes it as his duty to pay O . fitting_looor to the memory of the gallant dead. The charge at Roanoke Island, like the bayonet charge at Mill Springs, proves that the close grapple and sharp steel of loyal and patriotic soldiers must always put rebels to flight. The late achievements of the navy show thnt the flag of the Union onoe borne in proud glo ry around the world by naval heroes, will soon again float over every rebel city and stronghold ; and that it shall forever be hon ored and respected as the emblem of Liberty and Union in every land and upon every sea.

THE BATTLE [Special Correspondent of the Baltimore American.] FORTRESS NIONROE, January .13,1862. The steamer Stars and Stripes came in -at noon to-day with a flag at her mainmast and stern, and all the evidences of' bringineglo rious tidings. Her approach attracted great attention, and it was soon ascertained that she brought tidings direct from the BurOgide ei pedition, and as the boat reached the wharf those who landed were 'soon surrounded with eager inquirers of the result of the expedition, and the following questions were propounded and quickly answered: Q.—What's the result of the expedition ? A.= We have cleaned the 'Rebels out of the island and captured and burnt most of their fleet,—taking three thousand prisoners. Q —How many wore killed on the Federal side ? A.=,Aboirt-forty. Q.,flow many wounded? A —The number_of. the wounded wne not -definitely ascertained when we left ; - but one hundred and fifty was considered a largo esti mate. ' Q. —How about General Wise t A.—lle is reported to have been carried off from Ntig's Mad towaii Com modore Goldsborough had started up Curri• tuck Sound towards Norfolk with a gunboat and several armed cutters in the endeavor to overtake and capture him. The anxiety to capture him was very great. Q.—What became of his son, Captain O. Jennings Wise, of the Richmond Blues ? A —lie was slightly wounded on • the field at the head of his battalion and was endeav oring to escape in a boat with some others, when he was hailed to surrender, but refusing to do so was fired upon and Mortally wouii•• ded. They then surrendered, and he was ta• Iten prisoner, and died the next morning from the effects of three bn let wounds. Q--Ilow -many of the Rebels' were killed and wounded in the engagement ? A.—Their killed and wounded aro not very heavy, for the reason that they broke and ran as soon as our men captured their main bat tery at the point of , .the bayonet. This was done by the Hawkins Zouaves and the Twenty first Mlssachusetts, who made a brilliant charge directly in the face of their, guns driv ing the whole garrison out of the entrench ments in the centre of the Island. The . nurnber of Rebels killed was estimated at about sixty, and the wounded at two•hundred. 4-1-lovr many , prifinners wbre taken? SA.—We have taken nearly three thousand piisouers, who will probably arrive at New York on Friday or Saturday, on the steamers Spaulding and George Peabody. Q.—When did the fight commence ? A.—We commenced with a reconnoistance by the gunboats on Friday afternoon, shelling the,lower end of the island partly silencing the guns at that. point Night closing in wo ceased firing until Saturday morning, when the bombardment was recommenced, and about ten thousand troops landed on the south ern end of the Island. Q.—After the landing was; effected, what became of the gunboats? A.—They steamed up the channel along side of the island, and drove the Rebels from them into their entrenched camp at the upper cud of the island. The army having lauded, about. seven thousand of them marched in three divisions towards the cents° of the island to attack the main body. As tffey approached the earthworks of the enetriy they were found to have several guns in position to cover the approaches. When within a mile of their bat teries the Rebels opened lire and the Federal troops fell on their faces, allowing the balls to pass over. them. They continued thus to ap proach the batteries for a mile with but. slight loss, and finally, when close enough charged. the earthworks at double quick, first.firing a volley and then rushing with charged bayo nets over the entrenchments. As the Feder oral troops entered they abandoned their guns and ran out at the other side, towards the up• per end of the island. They made but a poor fight, and ran at Buil Run speed as soon as they were brought to close quarters. Q.—Did any portion of these troops exhibit bravery ? A.—A battalion in charge of their princi pargurts, the Richmond Blues, showed some bravery, but the balance fled, without searce• ly firing a gun, so soon as the entrenchments were stormed. Q,—What became of the gunboats ? A.— So soon as the landing was safely ef fected Com. Goldsborough steamed up the channel, firing at all the Rebel troops that were in sight, driving them out of the earth works commanding the channel. Q.—Did the Rebel gunboats make any .fight ? A.--Very little. When Com. Goldsborough's fleet appearednt the upper end - of the island they turned and fled, and were hotly pursued 'towards Elizabeth City. So soon as overta ken armed cutters.wcre sent to board them, and some 'severe fighting is said to have tn.; ken place on the Rebel &eke. They were nearly all then captured, and most of them burned, the vieters..confinuing on. their pur suit to prevent any of them from escaping.-- Three or four were captured and'-retained, and the balance burnt. The crews of most them made their eseapo 1.1 . a the shore by swim• ming, without oven-an attempt at resistance. Q.—Was Elizabeth City burned? A.—There was an earthwork defohcling the approach to Elizabeth City which was feebly worked for some time, doing little or no damage. So' soon as the gunbouts'got the range of it and .commenced_ dropping their shells in_ and around it the military, abandoned it, and soon after the flames burst out in the lower part of the oily. A flag of truce from the citizens was then sent out to Com modore kioldsborough asking him -to send-a- foree—on - shore- to- extinguish-the .fire, which they stated had, been kindled by the retreatink soldiers. Their request was respectfully declined, as they come.noither to burn nor destroy, .tuir to . commit • any' ,outrage on private, rights and must hold those responsible who committed the outrage.

They just arrived in time to-he captured. Q.—What ktiiii-of arms had the Rebels? A.—TheWhole island was strewn with arms of every description. Flint-lock muskets, double - barrel-$o rguasTand - a 11 — descriptions of rifles, and gobd, bad and indifferent bowie knives, rusty swords, flint look horse pistols, and Sharpe's and Colt's rifles. At toast a cart load of powder horns had been gathered up, with shot pouches to match. Q —Did any of the . Federfil gunboats receive any injury, or - were any of them lost? A.—The only shot that took effect on any of the gunboats was a round shot that enter ed the bow of the gunboat Seymour, doing no damage that cannot be repaired in an hour. Another boat had a portion of her rigging cut away. Trio lietzel had six men killed by the explosion of a rifle gun, and two or throe wounded. Q —Was thnre any hand-to-hand fighting among the.gunboats ? A.—Only in the case of fhe Federal gfinboat Cores, Cnpt. MeDermaid, who ran ti p al ongsidu the Rebel flag ship Sea Bird, of Coin. Lynch, and drove the enemy before them on his own deck. Com. Lynch succeeded in making his escape by jumping overboard and wading to the shore, with-most of his officers. Q —Did any of the Rebel gunboats escape? 'A.—Yes, two of thcrii ran into the Canal, on learning which,.Cont. Goldsborougli land dilorce and destroyed the gate of the canal, letting the water out. They were rePorted to bediground in consequence. Q 7 ,:130w many gunboats went up to Eliza beth City ? A —There were fifteen of our•gunboats in the fleet that started for Elizabeth City on Sunday. Most of the enorny's gunboats were new ashore and abandoned, and we fired several of them. Three were captured, and one now is in the Federal service. Q.—Were any of our officers killed ? A.—Yes, Cot. Russel, of the Ttnith Connec. flout Regiment, was killed, and Lieut. Cul. Vigner da Monteil,'of - thirlYErenetiirZiffffiVeS . , who was a volunteer, was killed. No other @floor was killed above (he rank of Lieutenant. - Q. —How many officers-are-among-- the-pri , sorters ? A.—We have about fifteen Colonels, Lieu tenant Colonels and Majors, and fifty or sixty Qaptains and Lieutenants. • •Q —Wore all the military in the fight? A.—No. The 89th New York, the Bth and 9th Connecticut, the 6th New Hampshire, and the'4Bth Pennsllvania were left. at Hatteras. Q.—How manly guns were captured ? A.—Forty two large guns, and about one dozen field pieces. There were also captured about 4,000 stand of arms of all descriptions. Q.—liew many field pieces were landed by Gen. Burnside ? A.—Five or six, principally field howitzers. They were landed on the edge of a marsh, and the: men were compelled to drag them for about 100 yards, through the water up to their breasts.' They were finally served, and did good execution in covering the approach, of the storming parties. Q —What was done with the prisoners? A.—They were allowed to continuein pos session of their camp and barracks, whilst the Federal soldiers, both officers and men, rough ed it as best they could on the damp earth.— The prisoners were, however, when the Stars and Stripes loft, being conducted to the lower end of the island to be embarked for N. York. Q —Had the navy or the army tho most credit. in the captiire of the island ? A.—Both ante l,ir admirably thioughonta and both evincedl,co7" , uch headlong impetuosity.. The island was urilloubtedly taken by the land forces, as the Rubel batteries in the centre of the island, behind which they made a stand, could not be reacaed by the shells from the gunboats. In making the advance to these earthworks the Federal troops had in p as s through deep marshes, sometimes up to their armpits. All scented to be inspiredylit,th determination to take the island desplto all contingencies. Q —Was there to faltering among our men? A.—Not in the least. ho whole work could have been done with less loss of life had it not been for the impetuosity of the men, who c,nuld not be controlled by their officers. Tho navy did all that was required of it in covering the landing and silencing the shore batteries, and nitimittely disposing of the Re bel fleet. It may, therefore, be regarded as a joint victory of the army and navy. WAR NEWS• CAPTURE OF FORT DONELSON The great victory of the war hos been ac complished, and the National flag was placed on Sunday morning by our victorious troops over Fort Donelson. The completeness of the victory, and its important bearing npon the issue of the war, is patent to even the most unwilling understanding. Tennessee is now open to our victorious troops. They have only the remains of a defeated and de moralized army to overcome at Clarksville provided that even a stand is made there— and Nashville will be in our possession. The great river routes into the centre of rebellion —the Tennessee and the Cumberlrnd—are opened as the highways of our army, and Columbus is so isolated that, no longer a Gib raltar, it can scarcely be. considered tenable. The valor of our troops which has won these victories is not lees remarkable than the stra• tegetioal skill which planned the campaign. We have not merely fought and won battles, but we have.,acoomplislied triumphs of mili tary skirl:in:Arcing the line of the enemy at its . most vital point. .The Fort surrendered at nine o'clock on Sunday, morning to the land forces, under Gen, U. S. Grunt, ,the gunboats not taking part in the final assault. The loss of life on both sides was severe, necesi3arily so - upon ours in taking by assault a position so strong ly fortified. Whilst this must be regretted, it is also to be 'gloried in as establishing beyond all future cavil the bravery and steadiness of our soldiers. TO take a fortified pbsition by assault is work to try the nerve of veterans, and When accomplished by volunteers, in the face of a resistance alike able and dssporate,.it speaks well for Hie spirit.of both officers and men. The force Within the Fort is stated at from twenty to thirty thousand men. CRiu., Foote, in his official despatch, states that we: have taken fifteen . thousand prisoners, and that the Rebel Floyd and five thousand 1114111 escaped from the Fort during the night pre. yious to the assault.

Perhaps when we next hear from hint he will be at Nashville.. Wo havo some 'additional interesting de tails of the' retrept af the Rebels fronal3ow ling Green. With the exception of four bri gades—about twelve thousand men—it is believed that the whole of the forces re cently at Bowling Green had been concentra ted at Fort Donelson. The major part of Gen, Sydney Johnston's arrofis thus annihilated, and the Commander in• Chief a prisoner.. It is supposed that what is left of the Rebel force will concentrate at Clarksville, and there make their final attempt to obstruct our Progress to Nashville. On our side the prep arations for an overwhelming movement into Tennessee are obvious, All the troops in camps of instruction are ordered forward.— We have already eighty thousand men on the Cumberland, and from these camps forty thou sand additional troops will go forward. The Divisions of Generals McCook and Thomas, unable to roach East Tennessee, through the Cumberland Gap, on account of the roads, have already, been sent up the. Cumberland river. General Buell will probably command the centre column, whilst Gen. Grant advert cos on the west side of the Cumberland river. If the Rebels halt at Clarksvillot hey will have a repetition of Fort Donelson. They will be surrounded by land and bombarded from the river In all probability within the next ten days the Stars and Stripes will flout from the Capitol at Nashville. The Rebel Gen. Sibley has thought better of his advance against our forces in New Mex ico. He advanced as far as Santa Barbara and then returned in the direction of El Paso. Our troops under Col. Canby started in pur suit of the Rebels The Secretary of War, in convoying the thanks of the President to General Lander for his recent spirited movements on the Upper Potomac, says that he has shown " how much may be. done in the worst weather and worst roads, by a spirited officer at the head of a small force of armed men unwilling to waste life in camp,' and significantly adds : " Your brilliant success is n happy presage of what may be expected when the Army of the Potom an shall be led to the field by their gallant of titers." The Legislature of Rhode Island have unan imously voted to present General Burnside with a sword. Gen. Grant, the hero of Fort Donelson, was yesterday nominated to the Gaited States Sen- ate by the President for promotion to a Ma , ' jor Generalship. Gen. McClellan on Sunday by telegraph held a Council of Wir with General Buell at Louisville, Gen. Halleek at St. Louis, and Cotninodoro Foote at Cairo. The Capture of Savannah Parties who came down from Norfolk to Old Point on Sunday not only reported the surrender of Fort Donelson, but also stated that fighting had been going on near Savan nah, and that the city had probably been cap- Anted by-the-Federal-forces. -T-he-former-re— port has already been confirmed, and it is quite probable that the latter is equally true. Our West news from Port. Royal, it will be recollected, left our land naval forces both in movement toward Savannah. The announcement of the biking of Fort Donclson was made in both liousis of Con gress yesterday and received with appthuse from the floor and_ Ike galleries. Even the Senate forgot its dignity in patriotic acclama• tions, and the Vice President, with ready in genuity decided that the applause was no breach of order, inasmuch its it was not a mark of approbation or disapprobation direct ed against any Senator. The announcement of the surrender of Fort Donelson was received with the greatest joy and patriotic rejoicing in the loyal cities on Monday. In Boston, New York, Philadel• phis and St. Louis flags were flung out, the streets thronged, and the most ardent con gratulations exchanged. Preparations aro snaking in several of the cities to appropri ately celebrate the late victories on Saturday next, Witshington's birthday. Con. Halleck on Monday, telegraphed to Perietal McClellan that Gen. Curtis' pursuit of Price's flying army - had been eminenly sue- , - cesObl. rid hail captured a" Col, nel and eth er officers, and more privates than 'he could by any possibility take care of. We think Price has made his last retreat. DESPATCHES TO THE NAVY DEPARTMENT WASIIINUTON. Feb. 17. 1862, P.

Reconnoitering es peditions, for "some time past, have passed up Wilmington river, in the rear of Fort Pulaski and Wall's Cut, emerging upon the Savannah river, in the neighborhood of Fort Jackson. It is proba ble that the gun bodtsascthided through these same channels and attacked Fort Jackson. BALTDLORE, Feb. 18. It is rumored by passengers by the Fort ress Monroe boat that news had reached Nor folk of the surrender of Savannah, without a gun being fired. The General Johnston taken is Bushrod Johnston, a Brigadier General from Ten nessee, and not A Sidney Johnston, as gen orally supposed. I=l Messrs.
