HOW TO TELL WHO IS WHO.
Mauy people are much bothered when they
see upon the soldiers who throng onr streets
various badges, in silver oi olher metal.—
Borne wear a star, some an acorn, some a
Maltese Cross. These badges ate no part of
a soldier’s uniform, that is, he is not com
pelled to wear them, nor are they provided
by Goverumefit as arp the clothing and other
equipments—the badge is bought and paid
for by the soldier himself, and is the distin
guishing mark of his individual Army Corps.
These badge* are a matter of great pride to
the man himself for a g<s«l soldier is always
as proud of the organization to which he be
lonrs, and of the officers under whom he
serves, as he is of his own individual prow
ess. In fact, it is well known that more
quarrels arise .and more bit!, r bad feeling is
engendered among soldiers by discussions
about the bravery and merits ot their re
spective commanders, than by any tulk about
their own personal deeds.
The badges which we see here designated
respectively the Nth, the Iffili, and the 20th
Army Corps, though those organizations are
try no means present in our city, being ab
sent in certain positions, where, Gens. Sln-i
man and Grant, and Schofield, and Thomas,
and the rest of them knows treat —but there
we a number of officers on detailed duty,
and some convalescent men who are trying
The best they know to get well enough to
rejoin their comrades in the field. It is on
these men that we see the badges of which
we speak.
The corps badge is worn either on tho
heart as a medal, or on the bat, generally the
latter They are for the most prut made of
silver, and colored and ornamented with
colored enamel in order to give them the
true that is required.
They are distinguished according to a very
simple but perfectly effective plan, by which
the Corps and Division of a soldier may be
told at a glance.
Every Corps La supposed to be composed of
three Divisions. Each Division is designated
by its own color—which are red for the First
Division, white for the Second Divisiou, and
blue for the Third Divisiou.
The acorn is the badge of the Fourteenth
Corps; the Maltese Cross belongs to the
Nineteenth Corps : and the Five Pointed Star
designates the Twentieth Corps. By now
bearing in mind this tact, and remembering
the order of the colors the observer can in
stantly decido, by a, glance at his badge, to
what Division and Corps he belongs.
Thus an acorn shaped badge, colored red,
signifies the First Division of the Fourteenth
Corps,— a badge, white or silver-colored,
and bearing the form of a Maltese cross,
would denote the (Second Division of the
Nineteenth Corps, while a fine pointed Star,
colored blue, would show that its wearer Ik>-
longed to the Third Division of the Twen
tieth Corps. By having in mind these sim
ple rules, that the corps is designated by the
stripe and the jMclsion, by the rotor of the
Badge, it is a very simple matter to distinctly
determine lo wliat organization any badge
bearing soldier belongs.

course of their efforts to entry bodily Hie

without effect, as they failed to overtake

Miss Bell, (laughter of Hon. John Bell, of
Tennessee, who has recently passed out of
the Yankee lines into the confederacy, passed
through this place on Wednesday morning
last, on her way to join her father, Who is at
present sojourning with Mr. James Freeman,
at or near Flat Shoals, Meriwether county.
We deeply sympathize with him, having lost
all his property by his devotion to the South,
and is now" a refugee from home in his old
age and Infirmities. A true man to his coun
try, we honor his name and shall ever revere
his memory.
MOBILE NOT KVACITATKD.
[From the Meridian (Miss.) Clarion.!
A refugee from Mobile informs the editor
of tin- New Orleans Times that “the evacua
tion of the place commenced on the day of
his departure, and that guns and ordnance
stores were going to Selma by rail ami water.
Simultaneously with this movement a sweep
ing conscription was going on among the
citizens of Mobile, to escape which the peo
ple were fleeing from the city bv squads.—
It was the generaUimpression 'in Mobile that
no defence of the city would be attempted.
Its garrison was small, and composed of
militia alone, under ihe command of Gens.
Taylor and Maury.” Thin will bo news to

that are being made lor Granger A Cos., ho
