yesterday, route to the seat Of The regiment
which was organized in a great measure in the city of
Boston, cncamped for time at Fort Indepen
dence, in Boston harbor, where they were so well
perfected in discipline that few regiments can
compete with them in drilling and mannuyering. They
struck their tents Monday morning and after short
parade in Boston, proceeded to this city by the Norwich
and Worcester route and arrived about eleven

SETS wearing their breasts badges with the inscrp

the banner carried by the sons were ornamented with
the coat Of the Bay State. The regiment then
took up their line of march through Canal street and
Broadway to tho City Hall Park where the men
were dismissed for dinner in the barracks and a
rambe about the city. shortly after four O'Clock regi
mental line was again formed and the procession, pre-
coded by the Of citizens marched down Broad
way and around Battery place 70 pier No l. where they
embarked board the steamboat John Potter for Aboy
Their reception was most magnificent one, and the
applause Of the populace was expressed at every

The Thirteenth regiment is one of which Massachu-
class Of men, and the Boston companies organized
from the "crack" militia regiments Of that city.
In physical appearance sodierke bearing and martial

HEALTH OF THE ARMY-THE SEcKLY SEASON
ON THE PoPoMAc.-From HarPer's Ferry to the
Chesapeake Bay, the banks of the Potomac are
proverbiaIly unhealthy during the months of
August snd September. Malaria engenders
chills and fever and every species of intermittent
:ailment, up to the most virulent typhoid Even
yellow.fever, or an epidemic akin to it, is fire.
quently found not far from Fortress Monroe
From sunset, until an hour after sunrise, I'M
necessary exposure will beget disease, and those
who ARE forced to do night service, will almost
surely fall victims to some of the disorders of the
region. The only remedies are to remain in
camp, under cover, during the nighttime, and
for the men to be properly RECALLED with good
coffee in the morning, W hich is disnfectant
On no account should night service be allowed
with an empty stomach, as this is sure to have
bad effects.

THREE MONTHS T.soops.-It is n source Of
general qualification that the three months
volunteers are ALL or nearly all, returned from
The seat of war. They have done the utmost
service to their country, and to them belongs
the merit of having saved Washington. But all
volunteers for so short a period become dan
gerous as examples, as. the time approaches for
their disarmament. They are naturally anxious
to get away; and they thus weaken garrisens,
and sap the energies of those who remain.
General Scott is doubtless glad to be rid of
them for the present; although we have little
doubt that at least 10000 out of the $4,000 who
have come back will have re-enlisted for the
" hole war, before the lst of September.

NEW OFFICERS OF THE NAvY.-The federal
government has wisely taken measures to
strengthen the navy, by the adoption into the
service of merchant sea captains. From New
York and elsewhere, several such have been
taken. to rank as sailing masters, with salary
of $1,000, until the close of the war The
truest patriotism actuates the minds Of the
gallant sailors who have thus given up hopes
of greater gain, to serve their country in o
sphere where they are, according to our laws,
excluded from promotion. They replace those
officers who have,i such large numbers, re-
signed, and joined the rebel cause, and it would
be excellent policy for Congress 10 enact a

FEEDING TIE ARMY.-It is lie testimony of all
who have examined the schedule, according to
which men in the federal army ought to be pro-
vided with ratiops that no troops ever sent into
the field were better cared for. No soldier
could or would he dissatisfied if there were any
attempt, practically, to correspond with the
theory adopted on the subject. Unfortunately,
however, this latter is only to be found on pa
per. 1t is deceit and sham, and. any good
Intentions that may exist are neutralized by
collision between certain officers and the
suffers of the commssariat, for the purpose of
putting money into their own pockets. JelTer-
son Davis boosted, at Richmond since the battle
of Bull run, that while every possible luxury
was discovered in the wagons seized after that
disaster the federal troops were, nevertheless,
literally starving. In fact, our men, after march
ing to Centrcviile, were actually called at mid
night to fight; they combatted all day; and re-
treated to Washington in the evening, without
having even had their breakfast No food, no
drink, not even water! Dust and blood was
their only fare during that melancholy day in
American history. Can any state of things be
imagined more iniquitously deplorable?
General Mcclellan is, we rejoice to know
man OF detail. All great commanders are He
has appointed General Van Vliet as his Quar-
termaster General, an officer whose past reputa-
ton guarantees an entire correction of the
shameful abuses that have hitherto prevailed
1T would be well, if, in addition to this it should
be made known, publicly, precisely what ra-
lions will be daily given out, so that each
soldier will know what to complain OF, and with
whom to enter his complaint, in case of disap-
pontment. This specializing on the lives and
health of our gallant soldiers ought not to be
permitted to last another day.

PAYMENT OF OUR TRoors.-One of the
greatest sources of trouble and dissatisfaction
amongst our volunteer regiments has been the
difficulty of getting their pay. Some OF them
were nearly two months in the service OF the
government before they touched cent OF what
was due to them. When they received it this
long privation of money induced many to
launch into wild excuses, and to give great
annoyance and modification to their officers.
Now that abundant funds have been placed by
Congress ut the command OF the Department,
we hope that we shall have no more complaints
OF this kind. There never was, in fact, any
, good reason why they should have existed.
Had General Scott, instead of making a grand
plan of campaign, which was destined to end
in disaster, occupied himself with the organi-
cation OF The army, we should probably have
heard nothing Of them. The blame Of our re
cent reverse is to DO laid to this cause, and no
other-want of proper military organi-
cation. The commissariat was lamenta-
bly, defective; tho regiments could not
get their pay regularly; some of them
were in rags, and feeling of dissatisfaction and
HtI'Nutu Nitst III tltHi. 10 Stuu
men half starved, badly Offered and their
esprit du corps weakened by i'll treatment, into
conflict like that Of Bull run. where the enemy
fought behind intrenchments was a counting of
defeat. We trust that the heroic young soldier
who has been placed in command of the army OF
the Potomac will not risk his reputation by
hazardipg another battle under such conditions
Let him complete the organization Of his troops
before he resumes offensive operations. Amongst
the reforms which he is inaugurating we would
impress upon him the Importance Of his insisting
upon the punetual payment Of his men. Moth
ing helps more TO demoralize the soldier than
any failure in this respect. The rule which pre-
walls in the French army, of paying lis wages
every ten days, has been found to work most
advanlagecusly inasmuch as il enables him to
provide himself with little comforts which
he could otherwise enjoy only at long inter
walls. We recommend the suggestion to the at
tention of the military authorities. 1t will re
move the only strong objection which The re-
turned volunteers have to re-enter the service of
the government
