His first appointment was of the 20th April, and put him at the head of the brigadier-Generals-- the oldest in the service. The second, of the 14th July, put a dozen Brigadier-Generals above him — among them Gen, David Jones, who is closely connected by marriage with the President. Strangely it happens that Gen. Walker, of Georgia, was superseded by Col. Taylor, another near connection. Gen. Bonham consulted all the general officers in the Army of the Potomac, and they all agreed with him that such treatment of him was a wrong and an outrage. The following letter from Gen. Bonham on this subject has been published: Near Centreville, Nov. 12, 1861. Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Acting Secretary of War: Sir: I have not expressed myself happily if I have conveyed to your mind the idea that I maintain you can date the commission you now

The information upon which this decision was reached, came from Gen. Zollicoffer's spies, who, it is now known, deceived that noble-hearted and chivalrous officer, as to the number of the enemy. The attack was made in the manner and order as stated by Captain Sheliha. The Romans and the Yankees. Dr. Johnson observed, of the ancient Romans, that, "When poor, they robbed others, and when rich, themselves." What was true of the Romans, is about to be realized of our Yankee neighbors.

A Tennessee correspondent says: A Confederate officer from Camp Beauregard, now in this city, informs us that Gen.

This out opens into the Savannah river about six miles above Fort Pulaski, and of course out of the range of its guns. Into this cut the enemy's light gunboats had come, and were trying to force their way into the Savannah river, but had not succeeded at the latest dates. On the Georgia side of the river the Lincolnites have availed themselves of two openings known as Wilmington Creek and Freeborn's Out, connecting Warsaw Sound with Augustine creek or river, and from thence with savannah river. These two openings run for some distance through the marsh, quite near to the main river — say, within half a mile, and this at a point opposite Wall's Cut, and about two miles from it. It was between these vessels in the cuts, on both sides the Savannah river, that Tatuall's fleet had to pass on their way to Fort Pulaski on Tuesday of last week, and received a heavy fire from the vessels on
