Ihe principa marks of uniform aro three stars on tho'shoitlder strap or epaulette a largo ono in tho middle. flanked by two smaller ones a double row of nine buttons on the coat disposed in threes, a bull' sash, a straight sword, and a sword knot terminating iu acorns. A Major-General is tho same, but with only two stars on tho shoulder. ' A Brigadier-Gencral has one star, and the buttons on his coat number but eight in each row, disposed in twos. Tho Colonel is tho highest in rank iu a regi ment, and wears an eaglo on his strap, the buttons on his coat in doublo lines numbering eight at equal distances. When this ofliccr is placed in chargo of a brigade ho is called a Colonel-commanding. A Lieutenant-Colonel is second in command of a regiment, and is known by the leaf on his strap, which is of silver, otherwise his uniform is tho samo as a Colonel's. Tho Major's is also tho same, tho loaf ' being of gold. His duty is to act as Aid de-camp of the Colonel, and in tho event of his two superior officers being disabled or absent, ho takes command of the regiment ; theso three constitute the field officers of a regiment, and are mounted. The Adjutant, whose position to tho regiment as that of the Orderly Sorgaut to a company, ranks as a Lieutenant. Captah.s are commanders of companies, and aro distinguished by two bars of gold on the shoulder strap, and eight buttons at regular distances in a single row on the coat ; tho first Lieutenant the same, but with ono bar on the strap, the second Lieutenant having a plain strap without marks. These last are called line officers; all regimental oflicers wear a red sash. Tho Surgeon ranks as first Lieutenant in the volunteer service, and as Major in the regulars, and has the letters M. S. medical staff embroidered on his strap, which otheswise is the same as a first Lieutenant ; also wears a green sasli. lhe tjuartermaster also taucs a Ldeuten ant's rank, and has tho letters Q. D. Quarter master's department embroidered on his strap ; tho Paymast'T tho same, with the letters P. D. Paymaster's department, and tho Commissary with the letters C. D. Commissary department. These coiistituto (with the Captain, who wears no marks, only plain clothes of a uniform cut) the regimental staff, and are allowed to have horses. The non commissioned officers uro hospital Steward, whoso business it is to attend to tho stores of the hospital, and all of tho detail jf the hospital department, under tho orders of the Surgeon. His insignia is a green band on the upper arm, with a serpent entwined round a winged staff embroidered on it. The Sergeant Major is second Sergeant in the regiment, and acts as assistant to the Adjutant. He wears on the upper arm a chevron ol three stripes, connected at tho top by half circular continuations. The Quartermaster manages tho details of that department ; his chevron is straight across tho top. Tho Orderly Sergeant is first Sergeant in tho company, nnd commands it in the absence of commissioned oflicers ; tho chevron is of three stripes, without connection at the top, and a diamond or star above. Tho second Ser geant takes charge ot halt a company, called a platoon, and has tho samo chevron as the first, but without a diamond. Tho Corporals aro in chargo ot sections or quarters of a company, and are distinguished by but two bars in the chevron. Of the swords tho cavalry saber is longest, and has a steel scabbard. Tho field officers como next ; tho scabbard being of chocolate enamel, with gilt trimmings. Tho lino officers, plainer and shorter, with sheath of black leather. A general officer's weapon is straight, with a gilt scabbard. Musicians and non commissioned oflicers being shorter still, and more for show than use. Tho color of the shoulder straps denotes tho arm of the service infantry being blue ; artillery, red ; cavalry, orange ; and rifles, green. very blown to pieces. Rut as tho Forts had only li'i pounders tho vessels were able to lie out of range of these and to pour their shells into tho Fort in such a storm as to di'ivo tho garrison into, the magazine. From Engineer Thompson's report. it seojns that some 10-inch Columbiads were on the way to the forts, find one had actually arrived though fortunately it was not mounted. It is quite possible that if that one gnu had been ready tor service, tho action might have resulted in tho sinking of some of our ships and Iho withdrawal of the remainder. When shells were thrown from mortars at an angle of 45 degrees, t'.e hit ting of a ship ono or two miles oil' was a feat of rare accomplishment ; but with one of tho great Columbiads, which send their shells at point blank, or at moderate elevation, a ship can bo hit at almost every shot, and a shell in the side of a wooden ship is so terribly destructive that but very few shots aro required to send tho lar gest man-of-war to the bottom. Even before the great revolution in naval warfare (-fleeted b the introduction of shell-guns, the attacks on laud fortifications by ships weie seldom successful, but to send wooden vessels against forts armed with these guns would be simply madness. The money which has been expended by tho nation in enabling our ordnance and engineer oflicers to mako their investigations, his resulted in giving us knowledge of immeasurable value in this crisis; it has been as profitably laid out as any portion oftho national expenditure. good ones," and they must choose between him and Kellerman. The Directory did not daro to displace tho young Bonaparte, and called tho old General to another command. Tho President, by quoting, has recalled that little incident in tho life of Napoleon, to whom our young Command, er in-chief, McClellan, is thus neatly and justly compared. Vreka Journal. Capturis of tub Bkauuscaud. A letter from Key West gives some interesting details con cerning the capture of the privateer Beauregard by the United Stales gunboat W. C. Anderson. Tho Beauregard was overhauled olf Abaco, on the 'morning of the l'Jtli Dec, when she had been out but live days from Charleston, and be fore she had made a singLe capture. Tho Beaure gard was owned by a company in Charleston, and had just been lilted Out at an expense of $13,000. She was commanded by Captain Gil bert Hay, and carried onh rilled gun on her deck. W hen the Anderson was bearing down upon the Beauregard, an attempt was made by the Lieu tenant of thu latter vessel to bring his gun into use, but tho Captain, seeing tho superior fores of the gunboat, forbade any resistance. Ho had doubtless the fate of tlio privateer, Savannah, before his eyes. Tho Beauregard, therefore, together with her crew, fell an easy prey to her captors. Tho prize turned out to be not a very valuable one in this world's goods ; for tho purs ers accounts showed a cash balance on han I of 25 cents. The Captain of tho pirate, Hay, is a Scotchman by birth, but is a naturalized citizen oftho United States, and has resided iu Charles ton twenty eight years. He served at one time as prize-master on board oftho pirate, Jeff Davis. The 1st Lieutenant, John B. Davis, was serving in the samo capacity on board of the rebel man- j of-war, Winslow, when that vessel was commit ting her depredations olf the Hatteras coast. John II. Stuart, the 2d Lieutenant, is a native of England. Ho was an ordinary seaman on board the ship Mary Goodell, of Portland, when that vessel was captured by tho Jell' Davis He was taken on board tho pirate, enlisted as one of her crew, and very soon promoted to the 2d Lieu tenancy. Tho crew of the Beauregard numbered twenty -seven men, nearly all foreigners, who aro represented as tho hardest looking, most desperate and wretched set it had ever been the lot of the writer to encounter. They aro now in jail at Key West nwaiting their trial. Tub Visalia Delta (whiten editor is an old lino Democrat and voted for Breckinridge, but is against secession) has tho following tart observa tions: "Secession papers' are eternally harping about this bloody war, 'got up by tho Republi cans.' While wo aro not by any means tho apologist, or defender of Republicanism, it is well enough to simply say that the statement is a gross and unmitigated lie, and the man making it either is himself an unmitigated fool, or thinks ho is addressing fools. When Lincoln took office he found what i Can any ' secosher ' tell Why, everything taken that well could be, and ten thousa'.d men and nineteen batteries around L't.

We send the army into tin; South to maintain the Union, to restore tho validity of tho Constitution. If any ono claims the compromises of the Constitution let him begin by placing the Constitution in power by respecting and upholding it.'
