List of the General officers in the armies of the Confederate States. The following interesting statistics of the Confederate Army organization are due to one of the Richmond correspondents of the Courier. In the list of Brigadier- Generals in the Provisional Army, the regular order of appointment is perhaps not always observed, but we believe the list is otherwise correct. The dates of graduation from West Point are taken from Gardner's Dictionary of the United States Army: General in the regular Army. 1. Samuel Cooper, Virginia, Adjutant-General. 2. Albert S. Johnston, Texas, commanding in Kentucky. 3. Joseph E, Johnston, Virginia, commanding Northern Virginia. 4. Robert E. Lee, Virginia, commanding South Atlantic coast. 5. P. G. T.

m they served of violating the sanctify of dwellings they never presumed to enter before, of arraigning their superiors in these homes, while in monarchical England are castles which even the King cannot enter, and of insulting gentlemen in whose presence they always felt their inferiority and vulgarity. Among the many estimable people who became the object of their malignity was Bishop Whelan. They rushed wildly to the Cathedral and to the Bishop's house near it, and demanded that the United States flag should be hoisted on the church.--In response to their clamor, the Bishop soon made his appearance — a tall, spare-built old gentleman, with silvery hair and serene countenance — he stood before them and listened to their demand. Undaunted, deliberately, yet firmly, he replied in substance:--that he stood before them an old man, a citizen of Virginia, and a Bishop of the Catholic Church. Personally and privately he entertained opinions differing entirely from those of the persons

e indicated, and thus withhold their co- operation. Mr. Douglas replied that the proposed measure received the full approbation of the Executive of the Confederate States. From his own personal observation Mr. Douglas was enabled to say that the exposed border was full of arms; that every log cabin had its rifle and a riflement to meet and drive back the Yankee invaders. He was not at liberty to disclose the full results of a recent official interview with the President of the Confederate States, but he could inform the Senate that the Government had not for one moment been unmindful of the necessities of the exposed frontier.

Running the machine. --When the dignified and decent gentleman who presides over the United States was on his route to Washington, he declared in one of his wayside speeches that he "should run the machine of the Government as he found it." How he has fulfilled the promise, cinched in this elegant phraseology, the country has now seen. He has "run the machine" on every principle of civil and political liberty that is contained in the Constitution and laws of the United States. He has rUnited States. He has run the machine on rights as old as Magna Charta, until there is not a despotism in Europe which dares to oppress and enslave its people as Lincoln oppresses and enslaves the once free country over which he presides. Such a thing as a free press or free speech is tolerated in no part of his domains. His machine has crushed to stems every semblance of law, liberty, and justice in the entire North. And wherever it has been permitted to operate in the South, it has overthrown everything like ord
