nt of McClellan's successor: Gen Ambrose Everett Burnside who supplants the "Young Napoleon," is one of the most courteous and well-behaving officers of the Yankee army. He was born in Indiana, and entered the Military Academy of West Point from that State in the year 1843, in the same class with Ambrose P. Hill and Henry Heth, who are now Generals in the Confederate service. Having served some years in the artillery after graduation, he resigned his commission and went to live in Rhode Island, where he had married a woman of wealth and accomplishment. All his own private resources and the greater part of his wife's fortune were spent by him in preparations for the manufacture on a large scale of a new rifle of his own invention upon which there had been a favorable report from an army commission appointed to examine it, and for which he expected a great contract from the Secretary of War. In this he was disappointed. Gen. Floyd, who was then at the head of the War Depar

as been published several weeks, and he has not resigned. On the contrary, he takes command of the grand army of invasion and comes to incite the slaves to revolt in the spirit of his master. Doubtless, when Burnside made that speech about resigning he was sincere, and really meant it; but the temptation of military fame was too strong. The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston Mercury writes the following incident in his military career: A friend, who was a merchant in Washington city at the first battle of Manassas, and who left the week following, was amusing me the other night with sundry incidents connected with Washington and that battle, both prior and subsequent to it. Among others he mentioned that this Gen. Burnside, a short time previous to the battle, passed through the city in command of the, or a, Rhode Island brigade. On having some encomiums bestowed upon it, he publicly remarked, he "commanded a brigade which could with case march from Washington to

McClellan was at the time, as he now is, President of the Illinois Central Railway, enjoying a fat salary and wielding a considerable patronage, and he offered Burnside a clerkship with a salary of two thousand dollars a year, which was accepted. The two friends were managing the affairs of the railway when the present war broke out, affording to both the chance of military glory, and to Burnside the hope of bettering his estate.

On repeated occasions Burnside is said to have behaved with unexpected courtesy toward the Confederates, more especially in the Roanoke Island affair, where the lamented O.

To a gentleman — whose name and county it is not proper to give — Burnside declared, less than three months ago, that when this war upon the South became a war for the extermination of slavery he should resign his commission.
