HOW TO TELL WHO IS WHO.
Mauv people are much bothered when they
see upon the soldiers who throng our streets
various badges, in silver oi other metal.—
Home wear a star, some an acorn, some a
Maltese Cross. These badges are no part of
a soldier's uniform, that is. he is not com
pelled to wear them, uor are they provided
by Government as are 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 badges are a matter of great pride to
the man himself, for a good soldier is always
us proud of the organization to which he be
longs. 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 bitter'bad feeling is
engendered among soldiers by discussions
aljom the bravery and merits of their iv-
FpUCvo commanders, than by any talk about
their own personal deeds.
The budges which we see here designated
respectively the 14th. the 19th, and the 20th
Army Corps, though those organizations are
by no means present iu our city, being ab
sent in certain positions, where, Gens. Sher
man, and Grant, and Schofield, and Thomas,
and the rest of them knows best—but there
are 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 the
heart as a medal, or on the hat, generally the
latter. They are lor the most part made of
silver, and colored and ornamented with
colored enamel in order to give them the
hue that is required.
They are distinguished according to a very
simple hut perfectly effective plan, by which
the Corps and Division of a soldier may be
told at a glance.
Every Corps is 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 Secoud Division, and
blue for the Third Division.
The acorn is the badge of the Fourteenth
Corps; the Maltese Cross belongs to the
Nineteenth Cfll’ps : and the Five Poiuted Star
designates the Twentieth Corps. By now
bearing in mind this fact, and remembering
the order of the colors the observer can in
stantly decide, by a glance at his badge, to
what Division and Corps he belongs.
Thus an acorn-sligped 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 be
longed to the Third Division of (lie Twen
tieth Corps. By having in mind these sim
ple rules, that the corps is designated by the
shape and the Division, by the color of the
Badge, it is a very simple matter to distinctly
determine to what organization any badge-
Itenring stddicr belongs.
A Man Hiiot vr by t.ik Police. List
nisrht tlic silence of the small hours was
startled by the report of muskets in tlie \i
cinilty of Johnson Square. Arriving at the
spot, our reporter gathered the* following
particulars • At about one o’clock iwo sus
picious looking characters were observed by
our efficient police to be loitering in the ally
in rear of the office of Headquarters of l*.
J3. Police.. From their conversing in under
tone and from other auspicious movements,
it was at length deemed necessary to arrest
them. A descent was accordingly made up
on them, when the suspected parties inline
llifttoly began playing drunk. Their ro/e.<
worn but indifferently sustained, however,
and the illusion was not sufficiently perfect
to deceive our keen soldier police. In the
course of tlieir efforts to carry bodily the
more refactory one of the two, the other
made an attempt to escape. As he ran the
police fired upon him, but it is supposed
without effect, ns they failed to overtake
him. The remaining prisoner was soon so
bered by an application of the button, when
he was taken to the guard-house and locked
up. His name is James McLougnn..
Hour.kby.—Thursday night last, the store
of Mr. A. 11. Oumming, Masonic Hall, cor
ner Bull and Congress street Lane, waff en
tered by some means unknown, and a tin
box on the desk in the rear of the store was
taken away. It contained about* five hun
dred dollars. It is to be earnestly desired that
the thief be arrested, and when he gets
through with that unmerciful friend of
rogueaejudge Eben Parsons, he will not. be
very ftg&to sin again.
Death ok Gf.n. AVhitino. —The rebel Major
General Whiting, lately captured at Fort
Fisher, died of his wounds on the loth, at
Governor's Island,
Arrested. —Our efficient U. S. Police ar
rested yesterday-Wm. Lewis, Cos. I, 128th
New York Volunteers, who passed on a col
ored man, a few days since, a worthless bill,
resembling the U. 9. currency. Lewis is in
the lock-up.

a lid for other purposes,” requires that in ad
dition to the other lawful penalties of the
crime of desertion from the military or na
val service, “all persons who have deserted

States who shall not return to said service
or report themselves to a Pro cost Marshal
within sixty days after the proclamation
herein mentioned, shall be deemed and ta
ken to have voluntarily relinquished and
forfeited their rights to become citizens, and
such deserters shall be forever incapable of
holding any office of trust or profit under
the United States, or of exercising any rights
of citizens thereof. And all persons wh#
shall hereafter desert the military or naval
service, and all persons who,, being duly en

the intent to avoid any draft into the mili

And the President is hereby authorized
and required forthwith on lire passage of

less they shall have served lor a period of
time equal to their original term of enlist
ment.”
Novv% therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Pres
ident of the United States, do issue this, my
proclamation, as required by said act, order
ing and requiring ail deserters to return to
their proper posts ; and I do hereby notify
them that ail deserters who shall’ within six
ty days from the date of this proclamation,
viz., on or before the 10th day of May, 1805,
return to service or report tliemselVes to a
Provost Marshal, shall be pardoned on con
dition that they return to their regiments and
companies, or to such other organizations as
they may be assigned to, and serve the re
mainder* of their original terms of enlistment,
and in addition thereto a period equal to the
time lost by desertion.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this 11th
day of March, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and

ILLNESS OF HON. JOHN BULL.
[From tho Lagrange Reporter.]
Miss Bell, daughter of Hon. John 8011, 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. Janies Freeman,
at or near Fiat 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 ids old
age and infirmities. A true man to his coun
try. we honor liis name and shall ever revere
his memory.
MOBILE NOT EVACUATED.
[From the Meridian (Miss.) Clarion.]
A refugee from Mobile "mforms the editor
of the New Orleans Times that “the evacua
tion of the place commenced on the day of
ins departure, and that guns and ordnance
stores were going to Selma by rail and 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 by squads.—
Ii was the general impression in Mobile that
no defence of the city would be attempted.
Its garrison ’was small, and composed of
militia alone, under the command of Gens,
iaylov and Maury." This will be news to
the Mobilians, certainly. If the editor of
ol the Limes could witness tho preparations
that are being made for Granger A Cos., he
would lmidly credit tiie stories of skulkers
in future. Semper peratus is the watchword
oi General Taylor.

A Dangerous Character Disposed op.—
Last evening John Duggan was arrested,
drunk on the streets, having four hundred
dollars in his pocket. He was immediately
recognized as an individual whom, a few days
since, Judge Parsons fined and ordered to
leave the city in twenty-four hours, lie
which he has failed to do. Thi3 morning
Judge Parsons, who considers Duggan a most
dangerous character, he being a professional
thief, burglar aud loafer, incieted a fine of
two huudred dollars, aud the prisoner was
ordered to jail until he can be cent out of
the Department. _
Wrong Date.— By a mistake this morning,
our paper* for to-day was dated “Friday,
March 17th. ’’ Probably the mistake was
complimemnry to St. Patrick’s Day in Sa
vamiah,. as indicative of a desire that it
should continue 24 hours longer.
