The First Fire Zouaves.—The work of re generating this regiment commenced with the dismissal of 75 members who have been the occasion of the odium which has attached to it. Between five and six hundred now remain, who are not only willing but anxious to go to tbe seat of war. These have felt as keenly as the public the disgraceful conduct of their expelled brethren, and are now rejoiced to be rid of their company. A change has also been effected the commanding officers, and man have been se lected who are not only competent to lead, but enjoy the confidence cf the soldiers. The LouisviUle Journal of the 25th till, says that it is now rendered quite certain that John C. Breckinridge, Col. William Preston, Beck, the late law partner of Mr. Breckinridge, and all tho proiniuent rebels of Lexington, have left their houses and found and asylum in a mil itary camp in Morgan county.

Newspaper Description of Gen. A. S. Johnston. The following paragraph is from a letter in the New Orleans Delta of the Ist insi: The proclamation of Gen A S Johnston is in deed a model, superior certainly in form to any that has yet been issued by any of our Generals, the conclusions flowing so naturally from the postulate, and th 9 whole subscribed with that modesty so proper, but whieh has not yet char acterised any similar production, by order ofthe President of the Confederate States. There seemed to be some disposition in the otter gen erals to pattern after the model officer, and in many respects most of them need to profit by the ie\?on ot his examples. Unlike our other officer he did not seem to imagine that a military uni form—not even an enaulette, was necessary to ike recognition of his rank, while the assistance of a posse of aids was utterly ignored, or at least but little called into requisition. lie is a large sized man, about six feet if he would stand Witn his head up, weighing, I suppose, one hun died and eighty ; his head considerably stooped forward, eyts black, hair and beard naturally dark, but gray from age, his hair being thrown back of his ears and resting irregularly about his shoulders, in a manner that indicates no very frequent smoothing or trimming. He dresses very plainly, generally wearing a gray suit and black silk hat; and as I saw him, riding with out company far out through our lines, doubtless examining every work, but seemingly indifferent to everything, I should sooner have taken him for a plain farmer and have passed him as an or inary individual, had not one of the officers called my attention to him as “our great Gen eral.” I saw him several times afterwards, al ways alone, getting bis mail in person from the office, seeming disposed to execute his own com missions, and to have as little of his business done by proxy as possible. He is certainly not a man who would pass a post office m order, as some do, to indulge in the display of sending an adjn ant for their mail. I did net have the pleasure of a personal interview with him, and have only endeavored to picture to your nrind one of our great leaders,as he Hppears'to the mosi casual observers.” on,” the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, conjectures that an expedi tion by land and sea against Texas is in the LincolQ programme , Bcaarpsard. Johnson and their Stafs, Prince Napnleon in his correspondence to the “Opinion Nationale," of September Ith thus describes Generals Beauregard and Johnson and their staff officers: C.KJf. BEAUBKGAIS.U. I have told you of the Generals commanding the Northern Army. The detain which I send you would be incomplete were I not to speak also of those who command the Southern army —Generals Beauregard and Johnston. Gen. Beauregard i? of French origin, that is to aay, bis family emigrated from Franco to Canada about a hundred and fifty years since.— Ilis father left the English Colony to become a citizen of the United States and settled in New Orleans. He there changed his religion, abjuring Protestantism and embracing Catholicity, which is the religion of the General and his family. A pupil at West Point, Beauregard was a lieuten ant colonel in the regular army when the war broke out. He had just been appointed Super intendent of the West Point Academy. The government of his State, Louisiana, re called him, made him leave the Federal army, and President Jefferson Davi3 immediately con ferred upon him the rank of General and the command of the troops at Charleston. We know that the command gave him the opportu nity of firing the first cannon shot which rent tho flag of the thirty-four stars. lie bombard ed and took,Fort Sumter, a success which achiev ed him an immense popularity. When the se cession army formed to march on Washington, Beauregard was invested with the grade cf Gen eral of Division—Major General. Beauregard is forty years of age. He is small, brown, thin, extremely vigorous, although his features wear a tired expression, end his hair has whitened prematurely. Face, physiognomy, tongue, accent, everything about him is French. His bravery i3 great and undeniable, andev*ry thing and. nott3 in him, if not a superior general intelligence, at least a very remarkable military aptitude. He is quick; a little abrupt, and al | though well educated and distinguished in his manners, he must sometimes offend, less by what ho says than by his manner ot saying it. Per haps he does not repress with sufficient care the manifestations of an ardent personality which knows its worth, and to which an Immense mili tary success may have given a legitimate self confidence. He is extremely impassioned in the defen.-e of the cause which he serve.-; at least he takes less care to conceal his passion under a calm and cold exterior than do mo t of his comrades of eiiher army. To sum up all, the South has found in him a man of uncommon ar dor, a ceaseless act vitv and indomitable pow er of will—characters by wkiuh wo recog nise the men destined to win battles and to lead parties. GENERAL JOHNSTON. General Johnston, also a pupil of West Point, is a little older than Beauregard, and was a Colo nel in the regular army at the period of sece3 aion. He served very brilliantly in the Mexican eampaigu,and eDjoys in the United Btaies a gre..t reputation for capacity and probity. An extreme reserve, a modesty no less great, cause a tort of sadness to appear to paralire in him the brilliant qualities which every one recognizes in him; but place him in the field of battle, and then the true warrior reappears in him as if bv enchant ment. These are the two men who command the Southern army. I say, “who command,” be cause in truth it is pretty difficult to say which of the two i3 in possession of the veritable chief command. Both have the same grade, and it appears that either through right of seniority or in consequence of a special commission, John ston is in the camp at Manassas, the superior of Beauregard; end yet, notwithstanding the pres ence of J ohnston at the battle of Bull Run, it i3 admitted by every one—by Beauregard first, and afterward by Johnston—that Beauregard conduc ted the battle, and has the honor ot the victory. It has been explained to mo that Johnston having arrived only the previous evening at Manassas with a portion of his troops, did not assume the supreme command until tho day after the fight, and acted on that day merely as a support to his colleague. But these are shad ows which only a military man can seize, for these attributes of rank and the constitution of command, form the obscurest part of the mili tary organization of Americans. For the for eigner, whom these professional questions do not interest—who is content with hearing what may be told him and seeing what may be shown him—Beauregard is the Southern commander in-chief. It is lie who gained the battle of Bull Run, and it is lie who will gain the next battle that will be fought. THE SOUTHERN STATE OfEICEKS. The Staffs of the generals in chief (Beaure gnrd and Johnston) are remarkable. If the United States were not a republic, I would say that those staffs are composed ofthe flow er ofthe southern nobility. Most ofthem pos sess enormous fortunes. Disinterested in this civil war, a stranger to the hatreds, the passions and the interests which have inflamed it, I could not feel other wise than touched at the sight of those white, moustached men of the military, aristocratic bearing and distinguished manners, who have left their firesides and high social positions to serve as aids in the rudest of wars, to young generals hitherto unknown. THE .SPIRIT OF BOTH ARMIES. It is incontestible that ihere is much more passion and ardor among the officere ofthe southern than the northern army. It is insis ted in the secession camp that this ardor, this disinterested devotion to the common cau-e, is shared bv the soldiers; that In the south they serve through honor and conviction ; that among the Federals the soldier kn ws no oth er allurement than pay, no other impulse than that of wan*—the be-t recruitiug officer amon? the populations of the large cities Certain y it is g ing too far to generalize a fact which may be true to some extent. In dividua; bravery is nconte.-la> le superior in the Confederate camp; but ihe Union army makes up for his disadvantage by a more ad vanced military orga iza ion and knowledge, at least among the soldiers; so that matters being almost equally balanced, it is diffic It enough o f resee towards which sidetha for tune of war will incline. > mm An Affecting Incident.—Ye terday, as the prisoners \ve*e passing at the corner of llara part and St Peter streets, a lady of about 25 years of ege, very elegan ly dressed and of a most respectable apearance, was seen to emerge from the crowd on the .Gdewalk, and as soon as she Lad crossed the gutter she look ed very intentlv at one ofthe prisoners, as if she half recognized his youthful features. Then, at once stretching out her arms, she ex olaimed, “Oh. good God, my brother!” But •ither the prisoner did not hear her, or did not warn to recognize her under the circumstan ce*, and the poor iady had to follow some dis tance for a. better opportunity. Inc dents of this nature will be common during thejjpres ent struggle.—N. O. Ptcayun®, PEYTON H. COLQUITT, I F . itnr , JAMES W. WARREN. < taitor *' $5 TER ANNUM. Telegraphic. Special to the Times.

Fortress Monroe, > Tuesday, Sept. 17, 1861. j \S 0 are under steam, and sail early to-morrow morning, in company with several of the naval vessels that have been lying here since theev.nt sul demonstration of Ilatteras Inlet, to an im porant point upon the Southern coast, thero to achieve another victory similar to that so success ful at Forts Ilatteras and Clark. It will be, if I am not greatly mistaken, an imposing and ter rific assault, resulting triumphantly to <>ur gal lant forces and the good eiftiso hey, maintain. It almost seems superfluous to remark hat it would beau act ot the greatest imprudence to venture to give particulars, or to speak of the formidable movement; yet I will remark that should victory again perch up n < ur ban ners, it will open to us a channel by which we will be enabled to deal the severest blows that secession and its enthusiastic followers ever re ceived. lhat such may bo tbe result is uiy pray er. Troubles among tub Northwestern Ri tles.—The St. Louis Democrat, of the 24th ult., says: The Nortwestern Rifle Regiment, on Sunday, were furnished in tho arsenal with Belgian mus ket.?. Having expected the very best rifles ex tant, some of the men, if not the majority of tho regiment, swore they would not have the Belgian arms, andEeveral bayonets were bent and broken in anger. A telegram to Gen. Fremont mention ed the affair, and his instant answer was to put the refractory regiment under guard, which was done after they had made a rush to beth gates in attempts to escape, in which they were frustrated hy the ready action of some fifty men under arms. A' cannon was also pointed at them, and they succumbed. After a night's reflection they were quite orderly, having seen the folly of their conduct, and resolved to accept tho muskets, which will bs exchanged for rifles at the earliest opportunity. Difficulties op the North. —Among the many reasons assigned by Northern men for the cruel war now waged by the North against the South, we do not recollect to have seen the hon est truth moie plainly told, thnn fall from the lips cf Gen McClellan, as set forth in the follow ing extract: “A few months ago, Goa McClellan was asked by a friend from Kentucky—‘Do you expect by this war to subjugate tho* South ?’ ‘Subjugate the South !’ ho replied, ‘No, sir; the North can no more subjugate the South than the South can subjugate the North.' ‘W hat then do you pro pose as the object and justification of this hor rid war?’ The answer was: “Well, sir, this war is a military necessity to the North* We are obliged to fight you, or we shall have to fight one another. There is an impression abroad unfa vorable to cur courage; the same opinion pre vails at the South ; and if we did not fight, we should lo?e the control over a large portion of our own people.
