By order of the President. ISAAC G. DENSON, apl 28—It > Sec’y Personal. —We were pleased to take by j the hand yesterday. Major R. J. Moses, of LongSireet's staff, and Commissary of the corps commanded by that General. Major Moses is recently from the Virginia front, and reports Gen. Lee’s army, in every respect of numbers and spirits, as all that could be de sired. He says that the only apprehension felt is in reference to the matter of subsistence.— Knowing the unprecedented abundance that is in the hands of Government agents through out the length and breadth of this State, we were surprised at this announcement. There must be a great want of energy in the man agement of therailroad transportation through out the Confederacy. The - ] (entire control of this matter, we believe, is now in the bands of the Government, and, notwithstand ing the land i# overlaid with corn and meat, the array is still on insufficient‘rations. Is there no remedy for this incompetency and criminal negligence ? The War in Virginia. A report reached Richmond oh Thursday evening, by the York river train, that the Yankees in heavy force, numbers, not were advancing up the peninsula. There was great sentiment at Tunstall’s station, the point to which the cars now run, and it was said there that the enemy had driven in our pick ets at Barhamsville ’on Wednesday night. Barhamsville is six miles beyond Kent Court House. „ Very recently one hundred mei*of the New York cavalry were charged hy an inferior force, in the valley of Virginia, and a captain and fifteen privates captured. Our forces were led by Capt. Davis. The Staunton Spectator says it is reported that the enemy were, during the past week, marching from the Kanawha valley upon Lewisburg, with a source of four thousand men. They are reported to have advanced, when last heard from, a3 far as Sewell moun tain. It is supposed that the enemy at Bev erly, in Randolph county, will also advance. If this report and surmise be true, the “re serve” may soon be called upon to take the field. The Richmond Sentinel contradicts the‘re port that the Yankees had succeeded in destroying a large quantity of Government stores at Boulware’s wharf, on the Rappahan nock. Everything had been removed. Who Proclaimed the War. —The New York Times, an accredited leading Republican paper, and the special organ in New York of the Administration, in its issue of the oth of March, 1864, in an editorial taking issue with Thaddeus Stevens for stating that the rebel States are belligerents and “that they are no longer in the this down as a fact that cannot be gainsayed : “The Confederacy wanted peace, and sent Commissioners to Washington to receive it. We would not receive them, and proclaimed war ! They accepted war. The question who fired the first gun is nothing. Decidedly Rich. —The Federal General Hooker, it appears lias prepared a report as a substitute for his original of his operations in the battle of Chattanooga, which Gen. Grant has sent forward to the Department with the following indorsement: “Head'qs Armies of the United Ssates, ) In the field, Culpepper, C. H. Va., >• March 25th, 1864. J I know of no objections to the substituting of this, for Major General Hooker's original report of his operations in the battle of Chat tanooga. Attention is called to that part ot the re port giving, from the report of the subordinate commanders, the number of prisoners and small arms captured, which is really greater than the number captured by the whole. U. S. Grant, Lieut. General, U. S. A.” The Louisville Journal says, the overcount ing mentioned here is adapted to remind the public of the romantic days of Pope, whose truly Arabian imagination found men in trees, flags in the running brooks, small arms in stones, and spoils in everything. From Longstreet’s Corps. The following is an extract of a private let ter from a member ot Longstreet’s corps, to a gentleman of this city, dated Charlottesville, Va., April 24th: “We have just gotten back to Virginia, from E. Tenn., to the joy, I presume, of every man ip the corps. We had a hard time in Tenn. A great majority of the citizens are disloyal— a miserably low, ignorant kind of people—fit companionship only for negro-worshipping Yankees. Our army was greatly demoralized by the association, and it is good for the men and the service that we have come away. Mr brigade has been without clothing dur ing the whole winter. As soon as we arrived in°Virginia, however, every man was put into anew suit of excellent clothes, besides being treated to such rations as flour, meal, rice, bacon, beef, sugar and genuine coffee. The Confederacy is improving ; everything bears a bright aspect; the troops are in splen did spirits; and I feel that when we meet the new star in the Yankee constellation, he will go- down as ingloriously as his many prede cessors. Field’s division, being now fitted out, will, to-morrow, proceed to the front. Longstreet’s position, I presume, will be on the left of Gen. Lee’s army, somewhere about Gordonsville. We came here day before yesterday, and are now ready for active operations. —Macon Tele graph., Oth. A Mistake. —As the train on the Northeast ern Railroad, conveying Yankee prisoners to Charleston, passed Strawberry Station on Thursday evening last, several young ladies present, supposing them to be Confederate soldiers, threw flowers to them. The morti fieatien of the aforesaid damsels, when the mistake was discovered, will be readily ap preciated by all who know the character of Southern girls.— Char. Mercury. The following is a copy of a letter for. warded by direction of President Davis, , in answen to the memorial of a committee appointed by the “general association of ! the chaplains and missionaries of the ar imy of Tennessee/' asking that ministers j of the gospel now in the ranks be appoint -led to the position of chaplains, when properly recommended and qualified for the sacred office : Confederate States of America, Executive Department, [■ Richmond, April 19th, 1864. j Rev. Charles H. Atkin, Rev. J. B. Chapman and Rev. W. Mooney, committee, Dalton, Ga. Gentlemen : The President has re ceived, your letter of March 9th, and di* recta me to express to you his deep sense j of the importance of regular and earnest j religious instruction and consolation to our j brave soldiers. He does not presume to doubt the necessity of chaplains in full! number, and knows of no bar to the pro- | motion of such from the ranks. On the other hand, he considers the spirit which to volunteer as privates and* serye country in so glorious and trying a position as an earnest of their fitness for the duties of chaplain, where knowledge of the wants, as well as zeal for the good of the soldier, is required. The presence of a large number of these devo ted men in the ranks of the army has con tributed greatly to elevate and purify the religious tone and sentiment of our gal* lant soldiers, and while it may not be pos sible to provide for all of these as chap lains, thus rendering necessary a discrim ination as to their claims, no intention exists to preclude them from receiving the sanction and countenance of law, in their honorable efforts, by promotion, Thanking you for your kind wishes and prayers in his behalf, the President re quests me to convey to you the assurances of his esteem, and of his appreciation of the great work in which you are en* gaged. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Wm. Preston Johnston, Colonel and A. D. C. Much Attached to the Married State It is usually considered a noteworthy circumstance for a man or woman to have been married three times; but of old the number would have been thought little of. St. Jerome mentions a widow that married her twenty-second husband, who, in his turn had been married to twenty wives. Surely mi experienced couple ! A woman namro Elizabeth Masi, who died at Florence, 1868, had been mairied to seven husbands, all of whom she out lived. She married the last of the seven at the age of 70. When on her death bed she recalled the good and bad points in each of her husbands, and having impar tially weighed them in the balance, she singled out her fifth spouse as the favorite and desired that her remains might be interred near his. The death of a soldier is recorded in 1781, who had five wives, and his widow, aged 90, wept over the grave of her fourth husband. The writer who mentions these facts, naively added, “the said soldier was much attached to the married state.” There is an account of a gentleman who had been married to four wives, and who lived to be 115 years old, When he died he left'twenty-three “'children” alive and well, some of the said children being from three to four score. A gentleman died at Bordeaux in 1772 who had been , married sixteen times. In July, li]j3B, a couple were living in Essex who had been married 81 years, the husband being 107 and the wife 108 years of age. At the Church of St. Cle ment Danes, in 1772, a woman of 85 was married to her sixth husband.— Phrenol * ogical Journal. Present to General Gee- Several weeks since, the Misses Semon, workers in military goods at Savannah, forwarded to General Lee a box of pres ents, including a set of collar wreaths, sleeve cuffs, buttons, etc., and accompany ing the same with a letter. The ladies are in receipt of a reply from Gen. Lee, acknowledging the receipt of the box, etc. The following is the let« ter * Orange County, April 18, 1864. Misses Semon : I have received the set of collar wreaths, sleeve cuffs, etc., which you have embroid ered for me. They are beautifully execu ted, and I can only return my grateful thanks for your kindness and for the pains and labor they have cost you. For the safety of your homes in Richs mond you are indebted to a merciful Prov idence and the brave army of Northern Virginia, which alone are entitled to your thanks and gratitude. I remain, with great respect, Your obedient servant, R. E. LEE. To Misses Rachel, Rebecca and Emma Semon, Richmond, Va. Worse and Worse !—Another Chance to Keep oct of the Army. —Gov. Brown has amended bis Exemption Proclamation so as to include Masters in Chancery. A3 we have no idea there are any masters now in commission, this gives to each Judge of the Superior Court the right to exempt one more able bodied man from military.service. Applicants should for ward their applications promptly to ensure attention. Cannot the Governor,, upon close examina tion, find some other loophole for his particu lar firiends to slip through. A few more might be provided for under paragraph 1205 of the Code. We mention it. as we feel sure it has escaped the attention of our vigilant Governor. " Your friends are looking to you.

[Atlanta Register. North Carolixa.—lf it should for tunately happen that Newbern fall into our possession, and there seems reason to anticipate its speedy capture, the Rich mond Whig is of the opinion that the whole of North Carolina will return to the Confederate dominion. By means of their supremacy and their posts at New bern, Plymouth, Washibgton and other places, the enemy have been enabled for the last two years to denominate Pamli co and Albermarl Sounds and the oircum jaeent counties. Thus they have held a country not of great area, but of much importance from its exceeding fertility and the abundance of food supplies annnu ally produced by it Its recovery will prove no less a solid increase of our re sources than a brilliant triumph of our arms and will it is to be hoped, consti* tute the opening of a series of successes by which the tide of invasion is to be roll ed back, ancf a wide extent of Confede rate territory wrested from the enemy’s grip. River Partisans. —The Memphis papers contain frequent notices of the operations of the river partisans against the Yankee steamer. The Bulletin of thel2th reports two instances. The Steamer Superior from Vicksburg, was fired into from the Arkansas shore, at a point on the river known as Yellow Bend. Upon the steamer reaching this point a band of about twenty four guerrillas sud denly made their appearance from the woods, and opened fire npon her with their shot guns and rifles many of which were insufficient for the distance. Severs al balls however, penetrated the cabin of the boat. One soldier was wounded in the leg. On White river the Loyed was I also attacked about the same time. The i Bulletin also reports numerous bands of partisans operating between Duval’s Bluff and Alexandria, Arkansas. [London Correspondence of the Philadelphia En quirer.] The Alexandra Decision.—Lon don April 9 th. —The decision of the House of Lords was entirely upon technical mats ters. The merits of the original case were not involved in the slightest degree. The result, however, is, that the Government stands beaten, and is compelled to pay the entire costs of the prosecution. The Lairds come off with flying colors, and they and j their friends are in high glee. It is un- I derstood that they will claim enormous damages for the loss they have sustained, by detention, etc.; and as they will be careful to bring their case in Chief Baror 11 Pollock’s court, they will probably obtain a verdict from which there can be no ap- c peal. , The existence of the Ministry just now is held by a very precarious tenure. In- : deed, I do not hear any prophesy that it will last more than a fortnight longer.— It is now conceded that the opposition will not await the slow process of its natural death, but that they are determined to put a speedy end to its existence if they can possibly do so. Lord Palmerston may possibly, by making other sacrifices, man age to ride over the present crisis, but just now it looks as though the announcement of a dissolution might take place at any moment. To Young Ladies.— When a woman becomes anxious to marry, the less the world sees of her anxiety the better her chance of success. One of the sweetest charms of woman is that modesty—that shrinking delicacy of feeling—which blushes with ingenuous shame at the bare idea of being regarded as a husband-hunter. A Yankee Steamer Destroyed, —The Charleston Mercury has informas tion through a gentleman just from Flors ida that a negro, who escaped from the Yankees at Gainsville and came with in our lines, reports that the Yankee transport Hunter was destroyed a few days ago by a torpedo in the St. John’s river, between Picalata and Jacksonville. He stated also that there were a number of Yankee officers on board, some of whom shared the fate of the vessel. Paid fob Talking. —A trial of some inter est to the medical profession has taken place before the police court In Paris. A physician was prosecuted for having divulged the na ture of his client's disease, and thus injured him. The court found the physician guilty, and sentenced" him to imprisonment for one year, to pay a fine of 500f, to be placed for five years under the surveillance of the police, and to pay the costs of the trial. The judg ment of the court added further, that, “inas much as by thus divulging the nature of his disease, he caused the complainant an injury sos which compensation is due him. the tribu nal, moreover, condemns the accused to pay ■the prosecutor a sum of l,ooOi damages. The Georgia Militia. —We have an amus ing anecdote on a Lieutenant in this city, who holds a commission under Joseph I, that is too good to keep, and consequently we relate it for the benefit of our readers, and more es pecially for the Governor himself. It ap pears that a certain Distillery some four or five miles from this city, was lately seized by the government, and this Lieutenant and a squad of men under him, were stationed there to guard it. After standing guard around it for some time, they came to the conclusion that there was little danger of the Distillery bein® troubled, and concluded to play “old soldier.'" Repairing to a house close by, they commenced a social game of seven up.— When lo ! while they were thus agreeably en tertained, some cunning individual steals the distillery and makes off with his prize, with out leaving track or trace behind, and not a little to the chagrin of the unsuspecting Melish.
