The Savannah Daily Herald. SATURDAY. MARCH 1 •» Mm __ - ,^,,1, i, fc >f jg ii 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. A Min Shot at id tiii. Poi.ick, last night the silence of the small bourn was sturiled by the report of nmskt.ls in ihe vi cinity of Johnson Square.

A descent was accordingly made up on them, when the suspected parties imme> dlately began playing drunk.

In the course of their efforts to entry bodily Hie more rafaetory one of tho two, ihe other made an attempt to escape.
