Gen. Wise. We learn from a gentleman from Western Virginia that Gen. Wise is doing as much service in the West by his mGen. Wise is doing as much service in the West by his matchless eloquence as could be accomplished by the sword. He is making speeches every day — such speeches as no one but HenrHenry A.

In the Wise Legion there are some very notable gentlemen, who will be of the greatest advantage to that remarkable military organization, which is destined, we believe, to make a powerful impression in the West as well on Virginia traitors as upon the ruthless invaders who are endeavoring to bring desolation to our Virginiay learned Frenchman, who is a master of Infantry tactics, and especially skilled in bayonet exercise. He has given most valuable instruction to the followers of Gen. Wise. Mons. P. is an admirable teacher of modern languages, and one of the best writers of the day. He is ardently devoted to the Southern cause, and we saw him the oys for liberty. " He is a man of great physical prowess, and an officer of great experience. Gen. Henningsen and Col. Frank Anderson.

inspiring the present atrocious and bloody invasion of her borders. After all this, to see foreigners marching under the banners and fighting the battles of that North which had repaid their obligations with remorseless persecution, against the South which had interposed as their friend and their champion and deliverer; to see Irishmen advancing over the ruins of Catholic churches and convents to plant their bayonets in Virginia breasts, and Germans in the West crossing swords with Henry A. Wise, what phrase milder than that of "mercenaries" could be employed to designate the conduct of men whose only apology is, that they had no alternative between joining the United States Army and starvation — in one word, that they "served for pay?" In noble contrast to this shocking ingratitude, is the high-minded and gallant course of the foreigners in the South, not one of whom can be called a mercenary, for the simple reason that patriotism, and not pay, is their principle of action

Captain Cooke. Winslow--(Sunk and partially burned,) Captain McCarrick. The soldier who was recently found guilty by court-martial of a revolting crime, and condemned to be executed, suffered the penalty of death yesterday, in Norfolk county, seven miles from Portsmouth. Having been conducted out to the place of execution, the doomed man was shot. Thirty men aimed their guns at the culprit, and three bells passing through his body, he fell and died almost immediately. Gen. Henry A. Wise, one of Virginia's most brave men, the able statesman and brilliant orator, arrived here yesterday, accompanied by his son, the gallant Capt. O. J.

It is highly probable, indeed, almost certain, that if Wise's vie

Fiftieth New York regiments that form his command in the pontoon bridge drill. Their current practice is upon the eastern branch. Yesterday they completed a bridge a hundred yards long in thirty minutes from the time of the arrival of the paraphernalia at the bank of the stream. So far as it extended, it would have sufficed to cross the whole grand army of Gen. McClellan over a stream a hundred yards wide in as short time as it could cross over as much space on a common road. Lieut. Henry A. Wise is the acting chief of the Naval Orduance Burean in the absence of Capt. Harwood, who is off on a tour of inspection, in the course of which he will doubtless inspect the ordnance in all the United States navy-yards. This is the first instance on record in which a lieutenant has been charged with the chieftainship of a naval bureau. We are gratified to learn that to-day Col. Phillip St. George Cooke, U. S. A., recently made a Brigadier General of volunteers, was promoted to be a
