As the oolloaal figure ot Oeneral Ward, commanding Blmey's (late) brigade, was exposed In thcmovementa of the crowd of offlcars, a buzz of approbation arose, for the General, like aU bluti; righted lelt, up and down men, is weU eetabllaheil in the affeedon of the troops,—who are quick in dlscenilog tbo genu- ine, and Juat as quluin discerning the base,—and, I may add, very—vary—alow in forgetting either.

The peculiar taste of Ailltary people. Iter sport of a very steep order, was illustrated the other day on a neighboring parade grohnd. A brigade, was drawn up in line, and after a vefbid ceremonial, of which the Assistant Adlutaot Oeneral acquitted binuelf Very handsomely, standing In front of the troops at such a distance from the centre that Us volc^ faintlyjxaohed It and never waa heard at aU on the. flanks, the festivity commenced, It consisted In leading forth a victim ot mattial-law, whose heart had probably beon, brave enough, but his underpinning proved recreant when the enemy waa in front and tnmlng him over to a pair ot sorry wags, who went to work at his poll, divesting it of every "partlonlar hair." Whe'n tbat portion ot his corporeal at- ganitatlon was ds nude as at the hour ot his birth, thejnveterate Jokers who haU him In hand finished up by cutting toe buttons off his coat and thus, a hapless chlokon bereft of his feathers, he was trotted out on the left of his regiment and paraded the en- tlie length of the line, between two flies, the front-wlth bayonets fixed, and "arms reversed," and the rear at "pbaria bayonets," ■■ni/2f «?S.n.'i'°^'""•^"'y' »naisporiionnlng "Irish r ml^tyhirdto '■'ir.-i r f-rl; an arrangement whloh caused him (0 "approach (fe point" un- oomtortsbly whenever he would lag or huten his step. TO' give the sport more exquisite unotlon, the drum corps of the whole brigade followed in tbo wake ot the party, playing a diabolical air, known ss "Poor Old Soldier," the words of which are- . "Poor old soldler^poor old soldier. Taneds^d feathered and gonetoh-lll Poor old soldier." ~'.Do yon imagine that any one lauahod at.thls spedadc?

Never a word ot ribaldry of disdain followed the "coward" In his miserable Journey to the right flank, and when the sentence of the conrtwas eteouted, the subjoot was dropped —covered by the broad mantle of % soldier's charily. The only distant reference made to it slnco, in my hearing, was in a dis-i Snte between two graceless ''dead beata" on tho prsotlcablUtr of esertlon. . . i , ' "111 (en yer what would do It sure, unquestioned," said one to the other, "an operatlon like that the'other day on your brain pan; if you'd show your bead with narybalron It you'd fiot have to 'avoid obstadea' much."

The ladies returned home to-day, and will onbtlesa remember with pleasure, their short experience ot life upon the tented field. These visits are Indeed refi«shUig in the extreme, and we trust that mere ot them may l>e vouchsafed us when another like opportunity is offered. During the etay of these ladles, an acddent happened. In which no danger to life waa experienced, but where much private property waa endangered. The acddent was n9ne other than duiing the evening of yeateiday, a large hoepltal tent whlob had been pnrposUy put up for the ocoommodation otthese same lidles as their deeping apartment, caught fire from a spark whloh came firom a stove In the same tent; astiong wind blowing at tbe time speedily Aoned It Into a'flame.

Senator W. ought to be saUsaed with his efforts to promote the comfort of the colored'gentlemen, without trying to orlng discomfort to the brave lads who are here, and enlisted in the cause of the Union. ■ SEW DEFIRITIOH OB DEHOBAIilZA'nOH. There is a good story told here, whether trae or not we do not feel disposed to dedde. But, tme or not It Is amusing. It is related that during the fight at Fredodcksburgb, guards wero I)laced at thO different pontoon bridges, with order to permit no one to pass to this side, not eyen a General, nor imderany pre* text' At the bridge, near to the Lacey House, were a detach- ment of the Seventh "Nye Tonrk," all Germansj and as brave a set of soldiers ss we have in' the army.
