Advice 10 Volunteers.

Mrssns. EpIToas;-As have been con-
ucc.ed with the army for couple OF months,
hope II will not DO considered prcsnmp-
tion IN me, ii offer few words OF advice
to those who might respond to the calls al
ready made, anu TO any that may hereafter
be na,ic, for additional troops from fcaas.
In the first place, never do you voluniser,
unless the character of service suits you
cxec;ly For instance, il yon prefer Cav
airy service, never respond 10 n call for In
fanlry troops, aud vice versa; or i you are
unwilling to so TO Missouri, say that you
woad rather operate in Virginia, or upon
the borders Of your own State. Aud il you
would rather no; be soldier at all, be sure
10 have some such excuse, or you may lose
your character for patriotism. Ii you have
nothing ols. to offer. have some election to
The officers who would nave authority over
you. To those who are not willing TO serve
as privGtcs, but are anxious for more clGya-
ted positions, | would say, be az ong tho
iirst who volunteer; If you arc disappoiut-
ed in your aspirations, you can procure y
substitute. or get of in some way equally
honorable. To those home companies, or
gauized Tor military instruction and drill,
in order to be prepared 10 render effective
service when called upon, allow me 10 say,
you should never enter the service except
in your present organized condition II y0n
do, your officers may be placed ID tlic ianks
in ncw organization. Wait fOr the next
call at any laie IL any Of yoa have arinsi
by no means dispose OF them to those who
are now going to meet the enemy; YOU Will
need them yourselves, when your company
is called into the service. lfiLere are any
vino are ambitious to lead u force into the
conflict, but are prevented from doing so at
present by other engagements, | would ad-
wise them to raise company for some tu-
ture contingency; II you don't, the fighting
material may al BIZ gone.
Now, one word to the ladies; If you have
the rcmotest idea that any of these excuses
are mere subicrfuges, doeyou present each
Of those who are making them, with pct
ticoat and night-cap. believe can lay
my finger on one individual who has been
made soldier by such course. With the
hope that every call for troops from Texas
may be promptly met, and that every SOL
der may be accommodated as TO Character
Of service, destination, &C., | ain, with sem
timcnts of the highest respect,

MoRr DrApoL,sM or Ben .MCCULLcca.--
Ten thousand tales OF the genuine raw
head and bloody-boncs" stripe are told OF
Ben Mcculloch among the Unioniais aud
L;ncolnitcs in Missouri The last one told
to US by On intelligent gentleman from
Camp Walker, contains so much character
;st;c diabieric, that we cannot refrain from
rcpenting it. During the battle Of the Oak
Hills. when it was discovered that Gen.
LYONS lad been killed, Gen. McCulloci',
viii, that refined chivalry so much remark
ed among Southern soldiers, ordered o de-
tnchment Of McIntosh's Regiment, to guard
the dead body, 10 protect it from inc touch
of fr;end or foe. After tie battle WAS over,
Mrs. Phelps drove, ever the feldin search OF
the body; and having discovered it, fell up
on Il. and wcpt. She then ordered her at
tcndants to place tho body in heF carriage
and drive 10 her residence. just rs tLey
laid hold OF it, tail, w-boned Arkansian,
stepped up, leyclcd his gun and said, "Nary
bit, Miss, you cant come nigh doing that
tLeer--Gen. McCuloch eats Dutchman for
supper every night, and has ordered US to
save that old cuss FOR tonight; 50 Just let
it alone, If you please" Mrs. Phelps jumped
into her carriage and incantinently mizzled
from the field, lest she should share the
same fate.

were either killed or captured, and the
whole regiment, with its chief, found safety

walls of Fort Pickens. The scenes which
occurred when rhis camp was invaded arc
described as being ltdicrous beyond de-
scfiption or belief The gallant Io.onel
took to his heels, with nothing but brief
skisted neither garment 10 cover his naked
