A month or two since, a Mobile. Ala, news
paper in chronicling the departure of compa-
nv of Southern troops for the seat of war, took
occasion to say that the members were worthy
gentlemen, and should not be treated in their
march upon the ordinary corn bread, bacon and
whisky Of the country, US if they were common
men, but the people must know whom they had
the honor to entertain, and lodge, feed, and wait
upon them accordingly !; also that it was great
pity SO it was that such choice men-ot
the first families-of great wealth-should be
pitted against the rutf-scutfs of the North, the
mudslls Of society, the Yankees, the hcteroge
neous mass Of hirelings which composed the
Northern army. Upon the recent taking Of the
Hatteras forts it was found by examining the roll
of company Of North Carolina troops, that
only five of the whole number were able to
write their own names. The rest signed their
marks These chivalrc boys Were called the Tar
River Rangers, and are now exceedingly de-

Speech of Hon Daniel S. Dickinson.

We cannot do our readers kinder or q more
valuable service than by making large quota
tions from speech made by Hon. D. S. Dick
inson of New York, at mass meeting in Ithaca
in that State, the 7th inst MIR. D. is doing
most valuable and gallant work for the country.
His patriotism is as widely removed from the
slippery policy of mos. of the Democratic lead
ers of that State, as Heaven is from He'll. Let
no one fail to read what they can of his speech
es:-
THE ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF OUR COUNTRY.
Mr.. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN -
That there should be a Free Government found
ed upon this continent wherein no kingcraft
should bear sway, and where the people them.
selves should be sovereign, our fathers pledged
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred hon
or. They staked all upon great issue, and
stood the hazard Of the die. They asserted the
great, the simple, and the sublime truth that
men were created free and equal, and endowed
by their Creator with certain inalienabe rights !;
and that among their rights were life, liberty,
and the pursuit OF happiness After having
evolved that great idea, 50 easily understood by
all, they marched barefoot over frozen ground
tain the liberty and freedom that they had as
serted. Go back with me to the history Of that
great pcriod-not merely in the history Of this
continent, but in the history of the world, such
as man has never seen, and there we find that
they laid the foundations Of this Government
broad and deep, and adorned it with all the
learning and craftsmanship Of modern times,
and especially Taught that man is a sovereign
being. They denied the impious divine right
Of sings they alleged and maintained that
every people should govern themselves. And,
after having asserted this truth, they went for
ward npon the world S wide sea to establish the
great experimental was an experiment and
hope to them it is realization and fruition to
US. The great fact has been established, and it
sped far beyond what they had anticipated or
imagined. The little cloud gave the sound Of
abundance of rain. The sparse colonies that
struggled along upon the Atlantic slope, have
now grown to be more than thirty free and
prosperous States, not by any means confined to
the limits which even those great men and great
er minds believed would be prescribed, leaped
over the Mississippi, which had been established
as westerly boundary scared the eagle from
his crag on the Rocky Mountains and have only
paused where the Paciic's wave rolls on the
golden sands of California on the north and
east it stretches to the limits of monarchy, and
has gone down to the south where tropical
breezes breathe their gales of perpetual fra
GRANGE. Yes, this tree Of Liberty which was
planted by our fathers, has shot up-its
roots have struck deep, its trunk has reached
high, and so wide spread are its branches, that
all the children Of the earth may come and sub
sst on its fruits, or refresh themselves in its
shade
"Woodman, spare that tree !
Touch not single bough
In youth it sheltered me,
And I'll protect it now :"

War News.

1t now seems pretty we'll established that our
troops in the vicinity Of Chain Bridge have all
crossed into Virginia and are gradually advanc-
ing upon the sacred soil of that treason-smitten
State. Scouting parties have gone seven miles
into the interior without encountering any enc
envy in force larger than "a picket guard. All
the letters from that vicinity speak confidently
ofan expected general engagement, but We doubt
very much whether it is the purpose of our Gene
rails to force battle at present. The advance
is doubtless more in the nature of defensive
movement, pushing the rebels back from anv
possibility of crossing the Potomac in an effort
to attack Washington, than with any design of
commencing grand forward movement toward
Richmond. Gen. Mcclellan will not open
battle until he has made success certain. and
each day delay now must help him, while it
weakens the enemy. There is now no need Of
precipItstlng an engagement, as there was at
Bull run, IN order to secure the assistance of
soldiers whose term Of enlistment is about to ex-
pre-, and we therefore do not expect to hear of
any great battle within few DAYS, unless the
enemy attack our lines.

FIRE Low.-It seems like an almost unnec-
essary caution, but every days news is
demonstrating its importance.
Whether with cannon or small arms, the
tendency among inexperienced troops is to
shoot oUer the heads of the enemy. Even
among disciplined soldiers this is a constant
fault. At the battle of Fort Sumter, the
rebels assert that the shot went over their
heads, at Sewalls Point the same thing
according to them-occurred.
In the use ofmuskets, the reason is evident
in bringing down the muzzle to aim, the re-
cruit, in state of unnatural excitement

One sixteenth of an inch, thus lost in correct
sight makes feet where the enemy ale, and
the best aims are th1s rendernd useless. An

into phrase more precise than elegant,
when he cried, "Shin 'em boys!"

hour, in the Vicinity Of the line OF march of the

people, large numbers of whom arrived from the
country BY morning trains.
At II O'Clock, amid the toiling Of bells and
firing Of minute guns, the procession moved from
Bryan Hail. where, since tuesday, the remains
have laid In state, through Clark and Lake
streets TO Michigan Avenue, thence TO Cottage
Grove. The procession was about two miles IN

ATrnrnlInr Kitchen.

A fourth novelty would be a travelling
kitchen for making soup, baking bread and
preparing rations for soldiers while in mo-
ton. This was suggested by the celebrated
Cavalli, and will be further celebrated in Col
Scolfs valuable dictionary, now in press
TIE idea is 10 have well prepared (because
not hastily prepsred) food, all ready for sol
diers, Immediately after the halt instea Of
keeping them waiting, tired and hungry
while their provisions are being hastily cook
ed, and thus largely promoting health and
saving time. The Papin's digester sort of
boiler for making soup under steam pressure,
would be a part Of the apparatus. 1t was
originally invented to make soup out bones,
and its value is in its thoroughly extracting
the nutricious principle of the materials
used. From This the heat of the FIRE would
be turned under an oven or range, as re-
quired. The top of the oven would form a
table for cooks to work upon, and the whole
would be surrounded by platform, covered
with light roof with curtains, and be mount
ed on two wheels, with elastic springs, so as
to be drawn by two horses, and to do the
cooking, whether moving or standing, for $50
men,
