The EA.tE pF ACTioN.--When the Duke
Of Wellington wa- compelled in the Peninsula
campaign, by superior force, TO remain for d
time in Il state Of inaction, onethrd al least OF
biz troops became inmates of hospitals. II is
said that GARIBALDI's volunteers, who achieved
such brilliant successes against the greatest
odds in tbs ield became sick III large numbers
as soon as they ll.A nothing to do; but the
moment the enemy came III s.ght, the hospitals
were speedily emptied, and the sick rushed to
the front of the battle eager 10 share with
their comrades its perils and its glorics. An
other illustration of tie happy influence of eX-
element npon the hsai h occurred some years
ago during the prevalence oi yellow fever in
Havana. Ii was runlored that an eiieny q
fleet was approaching, and in this new and ex-
cjsing occupation of the public mind the people
forgot 70 be sick, and for some days there was
not a single case Of the epidemic.
Ia all wars even whsa conducted under the
most favorable circumstances the losses from
sickness are much greater than those of bat
ties. If it We're proposed to storm Old Point
or Arlington Heights, We should naturally
shnider at the loss of life which would be the
consequence, and yet, camp life of inaction
viii kill more men than all the enemy cannon
could destroy if they played Gpon our columns
for twenty four hours We have no earthly
doubt that Southern army conld march upon
Philadelphia and capture that city with less
loss of life than it, or any other army, would
suffer from sickness by remaining the same
time in camp

his men. After some skirmishing IN order was
given to, rally on the reserve, which order was
obeyed by all but Capt Boggs and eight or ten Of
bis men, who did not hear the command and were
forced afterwards by q heavy IRE on the fording
