The Dog Law.
DEDICATED TO THE OPPOSITION.
Motto—A fellow feeling makes vs teonderous kind,
[Byron.
There's lions, and lynxes, and bears iu the sky,
And dogs—I have 1'orgoiton how many ,
But somehow—I reckon that Sclrk-y could tell
why'—
There’s only one sheep, if there's any.
For the one that iras there may he gone,; aud me-
thinks
If there’s nobody up there to watch him,
Some hungry old cur-dog, or venomous lynx.
Sure enough before this time has notch him.
There’s no mutton up there, and no woollen goods;
Not a thing we could put on or swallow—
’Twere better to be a wild man in the woods,
Than to dwell in the heathen Walhallo.
I pity the Gods who have nothing to eat.
But that light Ambrosia and Nectar—
Not a morsel of bread, nor a mouthful of meat—
Hard fare for Achilles and Hector.
Old Nimrod before he was canonized god
By the dog-loving ancients, was wiser,
He feasted on possums and coons, fat as mud,
And diank Tagar-beer like a Reiser.
And Jupiter too, when a mortal in Greece.
Had the best that the country afforded
Rich wines, aud fat mutton and capons aud geese.
At the Argos Hotel, where he boarded.
! They made a had trade, when they swapped off
the earth, _
For chilly Olympus aud hunger ;
j Few of us would buy Heaven for half its worth,
But then human nature was younger.
Yet strange as it may he, some people there are,
Who would live like the gods—or stili harder,
When plenty of sheep-killing curs everywhere,
And nary cold chop in the larder.
Mother Eve felt one day rather goddisli inclined,
But some people ought not to hate her—-
We’ve seen her, right lately, the very same mind.
Sticking out iu our own Legislature.
And they stick to the curs, all tlie way through and
through,
Like a leech, or a tick, or a button :
Or like unbelief to a circumcised Jew,"
Or Schley to his dreams of good mutton.

OFFICE CHIEF COMMISSARY, Z
Savannah, May 26,1863. )
t I A’i’ING BEEN appointed by tlie Commissa-
f l ry General of Subsistence with approval of
tt* 5- eretary of War, Chief Commissary for the
Slate of Gei irgia for the collection and distribution
1 'npplios for the Confederate Armies, with au-
* ity to district the State and appoint District
('di 'inissaries. 1 take this public method of making
an lu uthe plan to be pursued, for the information
■ I a!i concerned.
The State is divided into three districts as fol-
I where there are no Regiments within said Brigade,
will give twenty days notice, by advertisement in
I each Captain's District, and at the place of hold
ing Company Musters \\ ilLin their respective com
mands, that an election will be held on the iwen- i n . • , , . , w .
tv-seventh day of June next, at the place or plac- L 1 , P oll tmal convulsions; and even that
es established by law for holding elections of mem-| "lid reign of anarchy will be followed by
bers of the General Assembly, under the superin-1 the despotism from which it is a tempora~
tendence of one or more Judges of the Inferior ry relief. The fountains aie broken up ;
Courts, or Justice ot the Peace, together with two • . - v . -> • , j
commissioned military officers, or two freeholders j socle |y ™ disorganized ; there IS Iio bond
of the county iu which the election Is held. ! thcHii together ; they bold no truths, ^ ^ ^ o -j
3. The Superintendents of the election will | religious, moral, or political. The only tie than a hundred candidate^ for the minis-
makc out a return ol the votes received ( and in present is the fictitious hope of bringing
counties where there are several places ot holding , f ,, •
bacit the couth by conquest or otherwise,
into some sort of union with them. Dr.
they cling to the hope of tbe Uuion with
the tenacity of a drowning man at a straw.
But the saddest of all is the deplorfable
state of religion ; the churches are, for the
most part, mere political conventicles ; the
preachers are apostles of carn4£o and
blood. There arc exceptions even here;
Mr. Van Dyke is true to his Master, and
has never yielded an inch to the madness
of the times ; and he is sustained by a
large congregation. Dr. N. L. R., is anti
slavery as he has always been, and when
forced by the rabid portion of his eongre
gation to declare himself, approved the
war and sustained the government public
ly, although it is understood among Iris
friends that bis private sentiments •are
more Southern. Having satisfied them,
however, he dropped the subject and
preaches tbe Gospel, aud in his prayers,
lightly and hurriedly asks that we may
again be a united people. From what I
have seen and heard of Milburu, the blind
Methodist preacher, I think be is sound.
Old Dr. McElroy, of the Scotch Church, is
very severe upon ‘politics in the pulpit,’
whatever may be bis views on other mat
ters. Dr. Spring is as he has been all
along. Drs. l’otts, Krebs and Phillips
yielded to tlie current, and betrayed their
truth, but are now trying to cool down.
I took a trip to Princeton, in order to
see how things are there. I would not, of
course, go nigh those men, but I saw Mr.
McDonald, pastor of the 1st church, who
is lhe best among them. All the profes
sors are ‘breathing out tbreatenings and
slaughter.’ He told me of going with Dr.
Hodge to see some colored persons who
were about leaving for Liberia ; suddenly
the Doctor seemed to be struck with a new
idea : ‘Brother McD., do you not think
that these men, instead of going away,
should join the army and light the battles
of their country V
‘Ah, Doctor,’ said Mr. McD., ‘you have
heard the story of- the two dogs fighting
for a bone, de bone did’nt fight, de bone
don’t fight, Doctor.’
Lest I should do Mr. McD. injustice, 1
must say that he related this- ealuily and
pleasantly, and that neither in this nor in
anything else that he said did he mean to
disparage Dr. H. or any one else. The
facts that 1 am about to mention, I obtain
ed from other parties. As I said, the pro
fessors in that school, so largely endowed
with Southern money, are for the war, and
some of them Abolitionists. They incul
cate those lessons upon the students, of
whom there are more than one hundred
and fifty, the junior class being the largest
they have ever had.
As the fruit of these teachings, take the
following incident : a few weeks since,
some of the college students dragged a lit
tle boy from his room and put him under
the pump because, forsooth, he wore a
‘copperhead’ badge: whereupon the riot
ers wi re dismissed from college. But the
Seminary students, almost in a body, plac
ed these culprits in a carriage to which
they attached ropes a.nd drew them hi tri
uuipli through Nassau street. Thus did
Princeton, under its new theology, canon
ize the perpetrators of a low, mean, cow-,
ardly act ! When the next observance of
the sacrament was had, all these Semina
ry students were debarred the Table, thus
presenting the edifying spectacle of more
the election, will count out and consolidate the
votes,) and forward the same to the Governor,
agreeably to the laws regulating the returns of the j Tyng expressed the idea precisely *the
members of the General Assembly.

But let this fond hope he destroyed ; let

he is a brother-iu law to Gen. Hunter at
Hilton Head, and is very much under his

not approve the emancipation prod am a i
tion, although in his last Review article
he attempts to explain it away, as really
not intending to free any uegroest except
those who escape to the Federal lines.
Dr. Magill follows his‘Ajax Telamon’ at
a respectful distance. At a prayer meet
ing recently, he drew a moving picture of
the two armies on the opposite side of the
Rappahannock, offering up their conflict
ing petitions at the throne of grace, and in
his oily rhetoric, depicted them as strug

[Correspondence of the New York Herald from
Ueu. Hooker’s Headquarters, j
List of Rebel Officers made Prisaacn.
The loss of the enemy has been enor
mous. Fighting us iu our entrenchments,
our men were enabled to fire with much
more deliberation, and the reports of pris
oners are to the effect that their casualties
have been terrific. We have captured
several pieces of artillery, taken a number
of stands of colors and nearly three thou
sand prisoners, including one huudred aud
thirty-one commissioned officers. One hun
dred of the prisoners took tbe oath of alle
giauce—the remainder having been paroK
ed or*excbauged. They are all evidently
well fed, though ragged and dirty in the
! extreme. It is folly to talk of starvation
in the rebel army. It is true they do not
get such rations as our own, but they get
enough and that of good quality. All are
intensely hostile, with the exception of a
few from Norrh Caroliua, Georgia and
Louisiana, aud exceedingly confident of
tlie success of the Confederacy.

they 7 allow no soldies to vote agaiust the

You will not understand mo as intimat
ing any affection for the democratic party,
or regret at the resuite of tbe elections.
The two parties are alike despicable, ex
cept so far as a portion of the democratic
party is in favor of instant peace, aud if it
must be, of separation—that is of separa
tion rather tbau war. But mest, even of
these better men, cherish a lingering hope
that the Union will be eventually restored.
The North is so dependent on the South
as a market for the manufactures of the
Eastern States, and for the produce of the
Western ; the democratic party is here so
anxious to procure the aid of the South in
overthrowing the Republicans; the think
ing men are so afraid, that deprived of the
conservative influence of the South, tbe
heterogeneous population of the North will
be unable to govern iiself—that putting
all those aod other influences together,
Took the Oath.—We learn from pa^
roled prisoueis just returned from the
North, that upwards of one hundred of our
men who were captured in tlie battles
around Fredericksburg, recently took the
oath of allegiance to the Lincoln govern
ment, and of course were allowed to re
main under its- boneficent protection.
Upon closer inquiry, however, we ascer-1
tained that very few, if any of them, were j
native born Soullierm is. They were mos-t-
!y Northern men professiug Southern priu-1
ciples, aud foreigners, all of whom had >
enlisted in the army in order to make their
escape from among us more easily. They
are such men as we can very readily spare,
and will be tbe belter off by getting rid of
them.—Petersburg Express.

There may be a few errors in this list,
but I think it id very nearly correct. This
Regt. went into the battle with about 450
men, aud the bravery with which it fought
may be inferred from its heavy loss. It
stood in the thickest of tbe fire, and was I
believe, the last to leave the field. It was
led with distinguished coolness and gal
lantry by its intrepid Colouel, and its oth
er field officers. Being -overpowered by
numbers, our forces were compelled to
fall back to Vicksburg, and several days’
bard fighting since then has doubtless
much further thinned their ranks. All
that brave and determined men can do
will be done to hold the place not without
strong probability of success. Let us pray
that the God of Hosts may give them a
glorious victory. F. H. Ivev,
Chaplain. 57th Ga.
Hood’s Division.—This renowned di
vision is formed of the following brigades:
Robinson’s, Law’s Anderson’s aiid Hen
nings’. Four Texas and one Arkansas re
giments form Robiuson’s, the fourth, fif
teenth, twenty-eighth, and one other Ala
bama regimeuts form Law’s ; the seventh,
eighth, ninth, eleventh and fifty ninth Ga.
regiments form Tiger Anderson’s ; and the
secoud, fifteenth, seventeenth and twenti
eth Georgia regiments form Hennings’
brigade.
Oca Military Commanders.—We hear fre
quent conversations and discussions, even among
our officers ami £oldier&. about the number and
rank of our priucipal military commanders. We
are not sure our own knowledge is very exact up
on this subject, but we have always understood
that we had five full Generals in the Confederate
army, and that they rank as rollows: General
Cooper, General Lee, General Johnston, General
Beauregard, General Bragg
These appointments were made iu the three first
instances, according to seniority in the U. S. Ar
my. General Cooper,being the senior in that ser
vice, takes rank of all the others, although he has
uever since he belonged to the Confederate army
been iu the field. Genera! Beauregard was pro
moted to a full General ou account of distinguish
ed services iu reducing Fort Sumter and obtaining
a victory over the enemy at Manassas. Geueral
A. Sidney Johnson was next to Lee in rank. Ou
liis death at Shiloh, General Bragg was his suc
cessor, but his commission bearing date from his
appointment, he is the junior oi Beauregard, who
was a full Genera! and second in command to Sid
ney Johnston at Shiloh-
.We have seven Lieutenant-Generals, who are
placed in our list according to rank. Our readers
will probably be surprised to see that Stonewall
Jackson stands fifth in point of rank, but such we
have always understood to be the position assigned
him by tbe President. Iu this the President may
be right, aud we hope he is, but the voice of the
people would have said to Jackson, “come np
higher.”
Their rank, as we understand it, is as follows:
Lieutenaut-Geuerai Lougstreet Lieutenant-Gen
eral Polk, Lieutenant-General E. K- Smith. Lieu
tenant-General Hardee, Lieutenant-General Jack-
gou, Lieutenant-General Pemberton, Lieutenant-
General Holmes.
