buckskin breeches and high top hoots, with,
black silk velvet jaokets-and caps highly ornamented
with gold lace. The men at'e peculiarly,

Gen. M.irmtu'luke, who uses tho Yavijccuc ;
roughly on the Mississippi and Arkansas liiv- ,
crs, isa native ofSubiuc county, M'sswri, and ;
a son r.f Ex-Governor . Marmaduk". IJe i< n ,
graduate of West ]\?int, and at the commoner- (
ment of the war was a Lieutenant, in the regular
army. He was elected* Colonel of the Hist .
regimeut raised at Jefferson City to resist fieri.
Lyon's comtcirplated attack oh llrq Capital.
At the buttle of Corinth he gallantly distin-'
givshed himself while- commanding a brigade.
Gen, Marmadnlcc lias been in battles and engagements
almost without number, through all '
of which he has escaped, notwithstanding he
al ways places himself in the very thickest of
the?fight, often compelling his staff to remain 1
behind him. Of his courage it is hazarding
'nothing to say that it is impossible for a man (
to be more brave; to one unacquainted with
him it seemsdikc reckless desperation. When :
he took command of the cavalry he had to ,
, contend with the greatest prejudice* but now
there is not a more popular commander in the 1
Confederacy. If it be true, as reported, tlmt
some of the important towns of Arkansas having
again fallen into our hands, Marmaduk^*
will be able to more to a new. field.

Amusing Scene.?A very amusing scene
was witnessed on the bat't]e-field of ltionocacy.
After the battle was over, and the Yankees,
bad flod, leaving their dead and wounded upon
the field, a wounded soldier of the Federal army
appealed to a chaplain in. our service for
assistance and a draugh jf water. The chaps
' lain very promptly gave hiin water, and was
rendering him assistance, when an Irishman,
. belonging to Hayes* Louisiana battalion, pass?
ing along, asked the chaplain- what be was do*
ing. "Relieving this poor fellow," said he
"who is badly wculhdec^
"Lave here, ye spalpeen," relied the Irish- \
roan, "git a musket and go to work, and don't ,
be afther trying to bring the devils to afther

Observing r\ few days since, a rough looking
customer iu custody of a puliceman, a; d billowed
by a large concourse of the camiUr, I
inquired of one of the crowd, a verdant, looking
son of .Erin, what offence the culprit had been
guilty of.
"Sure an'he attirnpted to commit suicide, he
rliil " w.-iatha ronlv.
"Suicido !" 1 ejaculated in surprise, "By
what means, pray?" ^
"By batin' his poor ould father over the
head Avid a clob till lie lay for dead, the born'
divil," rejoined my informant. It was some
minutes ere I ceased, to contemplate the. depravity
of mankind in general, and suicides in
particular. *
Negroes Recruiting in Mississippi.?We
learn from a gentleman just from Jefferson
county, that twenty-five well armed negroes
were caught bv our scouts in Franklin countv
. i . , "
a few days since, trying to make their wijy into
the Yankee lines. Among 1 lie number was a
colored gentleman with p*ipcr.< showing him to
be a Yankee recruiting officer. The whole posSc.vrcre
sent down south of Dixie, to swell the
crowded regiments of Abraham Irin thatlocalily.-T-firandi/n
Republican.
The Ilarrisburg, Tenn. Telegraph lejirns that
several citizens of Chambersburg have beotimc
insane on account of tin* loss of their entire effects
by the late Confederate fire in that town.
