INDEPENDENCE BUCHANAN COUNTY, IOWA, TUESDAY, H. 1861

aged to run his removed head against a
MIME ball, which sadly injured his per-
sonal appearance, and for some reason or
other, Eudoxia insisted on nursing him.
1t may be that his repeated visits to her
father had touched her heart, but what
do know All can say is that nurs-
ed Sergeant Larry's youngest daughter

dred miles from Leicester Square, and
was requested to wait and see father Con-

engagement as interpreter at one of our
police courts. With him | smoked a re-
freshing pipe, and he confirmed all the
details of the story | now have laid be-

ScoTr's TACTICS, = In commenting up
on the skllllul and comprehensive prep
arations at headquarters, the New York
Commercial Adrertiser says
" In this systematic, gradual but sure
hemming in of his adversary, the genius
of Winfield Scott shines in lis ciearest
lustre. Ii is said that on one occasion
a remark was made 10 him respecting
this peculiarly of his strategy and he
replied When | am going 10
catch rat, always see to it that all his
holes are first stopped"
The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1861-06-11
The Position of a Soldier.

He should stand with his heels close
together on the same line, the feet form
ing something less than right angle,
toes turned out The knees straight.
without restraint or stiffness the body
erect on the hips, the upper part incli-
ned forward the shoulders square, not
one up aud the other down arms hang
ing easy, little finger on the stripe of
pantaloons. The elbows should be held
close, but not stillly to the body. The
face should be wei to the front, the chin
drawn in, but not constrained, the eyes
looking to point of ground at a dis
tance of fifteen PAGES. Once get man
in this position, cause him to throw out
his left foot we'll and firmly in marching,
the pointed down. ball of the foot touching
the ground, and in four hours YOU have
him in the move of soldier which he
will never forget. Keep him at this
without carrying arms, and mark time
him.
Another point for the recruit, rarely
given, and essential at all times, particu
larly now that the warm weather is on
us, is to have your hair cut close to your
head and your beard we'll trimmed. Ev-
cry man should have his beard and hair
cut as much like the other as possible
Men should be uniform in every appear
ance, and should be sized in rank.
The men once in the position given
above. the movements can easily be ac-
complished, if done slowly at first, and
then in the proper time after.
The most important drill now is the
loading and firing Let that be done in
squads, and see that the rear rank men
attend.
One thing we do not want, and that is
' fancy drill" Avoid it. The present
Napoleon, one of the best artillery sol
diers known, and the most thorough sol
dier known, says: First give the re
cruit the position Of a soldier, next give
the why and the wherefore of this posi-
ton, and then command clearly and con
cisely, but avoid superfuty."

Rumored Attack Upon Amity.

Intelligence reached us yesterday of a
contemplated attack upon Amity, and in
response TO their call for assistance Capt.
Bowen. Of the Clarinda Guards, march.
ed his company 10 the threatened place
Capt Mccormick. of the Harlan Blues.
and Captain Smith, also went down with
their companies. The news of the at
tack reached Amity through a Union
man residing in Missouri and his in :
formation was such that there can be no
doubt but the hell-honnds were congre-
eating at Graves. six miles below Ami
~, for the purpose of making an attack
upon the town f; but the presence Of 300
armed and drilled men, may have de-
TERED them from their purpose for the
present. but there is no doubt but an at.
tack is contemplated aud will be made
AS soon as suitable opportunity pre-
sents.
Two men We're dispatched TO Council
Bluffs 10 procure more arms for our com
panies, If possible. T.is demonstration
should admouish our State authorities OF
the Importance of sationing guards
along the frontier. and that Immediately,
not wait until our towns are pillased aud
burned. aud our people ruthlessly mur-
dered. Will GOV. kirkwool take imme.
diate steps Tor our protection? ? We hope
for speedy response.
L. S.-Since the foregoing was put in
type, Capt Bowen's company returned,
reporting that the news OF the attack is
confirmed by gentleman from Missouri,

Infantry Tactics.

In an emergency like the present, ev-
erybody is enquirlng for the best book
on Infantry Tactics, and the relative mer-
its of Cooper Scott, Hardee, Giham and
others, are discussed by thousands who
are putting them to practical use. Only
few words, after careful examination,
are needed to settle their claims. Coop
er was the manual many years ago.
SCOTS improved manual, in three vol
umes, entirely superseded this, and was
appointed by law as the regulation drill
of the army.
Gen. SCOTS excellent work was, al
most, without alteration, translated from
the French, from whom all the world
has drawn, and is constantly drawing,
the most improved military instruction.
In arrangement and exactness, it exhibits
Gen. SCOTS characteristic care and pre-
cision.
Finding, however, that French inyen-
ton and ingenuity had made further i'm
portant Improvements, the United States
Government appointed Col. Hardee tc
Superintend the translation of the new
French system for Light Infantry, and il
was at once adopted by the Secretary oi
War for all infantry regiments of the
United States army. The movements
are simplifed and rendered much more
rapid, and the system. as whole, is fal
preferable TO SCOTS. There is a com
plete drill for infantry Of the line, as
we'll as light infantry.
Now, it is disagreeable fact that Col
Hardee, who translated the book, and has
no other merit in the matter, and Jeifer.
son Davis, who, as the Secretary of War
ordered lis use, are both in the ranks o.
