Marshal Benedek's Address.

The following Order of the Day has been pub-
lished :

"Head-quarters, Olmutz.
" Soldiers,—We are on the eve of grave and sanguinary
events. As in 1859 you are collected in great numbers
around our flag. Soldiers, we have now to repair in the
eyes of the world the faults of that period ; we have to
punish an arrogant and faithless enemy. I have the full
and entire conviction that you are aware of and are worthy
of this mission. Have also confidence in me, and be as-
sured that on my part I will exert my best efforts to bring
this campaign to a speedy and glorious termination. We
are now faced by inimical forces, composed partly of troops
of the line and partly of Landwehr. The first comprises
young men not accustomed to privations and fatigues, and
who have never yet made an important campaign ; the
latter is composed of doubtful and ;dissatisfied elements,
which, rather than fight against us, would prefer the
downfall of their Government. In consequence of a
long course of years of peace, the enemy does not
possess a single General who has had an opportunity
of learning his duties on the field of battle. Veterans
of the Mincio and of Palestro, I hope that with tried
leaders you will not allow the slightest advantage to
such an adversary. On the day of battle the infantry will
adopt its lightest campaign accoutrement, and will leave
behind their knapsacks and camping material, in order that
they may be able to throw themselves with rapidity and
promptitude upon the heavily-laden enemy. Each soldier
will receive his flask filled' with wine and water, 'and a
ration of bread and meat easily to be carried The officers
will discontinue the use of their wide scarfs, and all the
useless insignia of their ranks, which but renders them
too distinguishable in action. Every man, without distinc-
tion of name or position, shall be promoted whenever he
shall distinguish himself on the field of battle. The bands
will place themselves in rear of the front of the respective
positions, and will play heroic pieces for the warlike dance.
The enemy has for some time vaunted the excellence of
their firearms, but, soldiers, I do not think that will be of
much avail to them. We will give them no time, but we
will attack them with the bayonet and with crossed mus-
kets. When, with God's help, we shall have beaten and
compelled to retreat our enemies, we will pursue them
without intermission, and you shall find repose upon the
enemy's soil and those compensations which a glorious
and victorious array has the right to demand."

[ADVERTISEMENT. ] Holloway's Pills.— Indigestion,
flatulency, bilious disorders, liver complaints, hoarseness,
and general debility are all evils that may be easily and
speedily subdued by these inestimable pills,
which are at
once the mildest and most efficacious medicine ever yet
discovered. They do not merely get rid for the time of
the particular disease, but exercise so powerful, beneficial,
and lasting an influence upon the whole system as to pro-
tect it from the recurrence of the same affliction. They
impart tone to the stomach, restore
the appetite, give
strength and flesh, and make the
patient feel himself quite
a new man. Being composed of vegethble extracts, with-
out the admixture of any mineral substance whatever, these
pills are as safe as they are efficacious.
