What corps do you belong to? said the Eastern veteran, proud in the possession of the distinguishing badge on his cap, which told his story for him. What corps, is it? said the gallant son of Erin, straightening his back; the Fifteenth, to be sure. Where is your badge? My badge, do ye say? There it is! said Pat, clapping his hand on his cartridge-box, at his side; forty rounds. Can you show me a betther? On the 14th of February, 1865, Major-General John A. Logan, the commander of this corps, issued General Orders No. 10, which prescribe that the badge shall be A miniature cartridge-box, one-eighth of an inch thick, fifteensixteenths of an inch wide, set transversely on a field of cloth or metal, one and five-eighths of an inch square.

General Thomas to change his course, and ordered him to repeat his raid of last fall, destroying the railroad toward Lynchburg as far as he could. This would keep him between our garrisons in East Tennessee and the enemy. I regarded it not impossible that in the event of the enemy being driven from Richmond he might fall back to Lynchburg and attempt a raid north through East Tennessee. On the 14th of February the following communication was sent to General Thomas: City Point, Va., February 14, 1865. Maj. Gen. G. H. Thomas: General Canby is preparing a movement from Mobile Bay against Mobile and the interior of Alabama. His force will consist of about 20,000 men, besides A. J. Smith's command. The cavalry you have sent to Canby will be debarked at Vicksburg. It, with the available cavalry already in that section, will move from there eastward in co-operation. Hood's army has been terribly reduced by the severe punishment you gave it in Tennessee, by desertion consequent upo

In reference to the last flag adopted we can give a more detailed account of its origin and of the gallant soldier who designed it: From the Richmond Whig of February 14th, 1865. We give below an interesting letter from Major Rogers, the designer of the new Confederate flag which has been floating over the capitol for a day or two past. We give it not only for the interesting character of the document, but also as a page in the history of our struggle. The bill adopting the new design has passed the Senate unanimously, and is now before the Committee on Flag and Seal of the House, composed of Messrs. Chilton of Alabama, Rives of Virginia and Chambers of

Dr. Fowler, of Yarmouthport, Mass., obtained patents for its combination with vulcanite as applied to dentistry and other uses, February 7 and 14, 1865. It resists sulphur in the process of vulcanization in a manner which renders it an efficient and economical substitute for platinum or gold.
