How an Army Moves.

There are great many things besides men
and guns essential to an army, and COM
mander, about to lead an army into hostile
country first sees that the commissariat is
we'll provided with provisions, that there are
ample means of transportation, and that there
is a reserve Of ammunition and clothing, and
a good supply of hospital stores and medl-
cines.
All the preliminary arrangements for the
march having been barefully made, the order
of march is communicated to the several
commanding officers of divisions, brigades
and regiments, but not published in orders.
The troops are distributed according to the
character of the country. In very open
country, large proportion Of cavalry would
be at the head of the column but generally
it is distributed throughout the line. The
artillery should be in the rear Of the first
foot regiment.
An advance or rear guard Of mounted
troops--one or two mpanles-should be de-
tailed each day and the regiment that has
the right of the line one day should be next
day in the rear, In a woody or mountain
Gus country, detachmcnts or aankers and sklr-
mishers are thrown out to the right and left
of the columu, at the distance Of one or two
hundred PAGES, to keep sharp lookout, and
prevent any such disastrous and gratuitous
experiences as those painfully and recently
familiar to US in connection with the ambus-
cade on the road to Vienna. The column
having been formed at half or quarter dis
tance, and the baggage train assembled in the
rear, protected by a guard selected from each
regiment for its own baggage, the column is
put i, motion and the march commences with
the same regularity as would be observed by
a regiment moving in Or out OF garrison
town, the bands placing, the light infantry
with arms sloped, and those of the rifcmen
slung over the sholder, the officers with swords
drawn, exact wheeling distances preserved,
and perfect silence observed.
After having proceeded a short distance in
this manner, the word Of command, route
stop" is given by the general at the head OF
the leading battalion, and passed quickly on
to the rear. The captains, instead Of contin-
uing at the head OF their companies, draw
back to the rear of them, that they may sec
any men Of their respective companies who
may attempt to quit the ranks without leave.
The soldiers then march and carry their arms
in any manner convenient to them, conversa-
tion and smoking being ordinarily allowed.

sprinklcd with dew and sunshine by her con
sistcnt affection, whose earthly thoug hts have
become more Heaven aspiring by the chastity
Of her motives.
The true woman ever has mission to
perform, ever has some loving charity to
fulfil, ever sees some poor, neglected outcast
to whom she can offer her sympathy, and
her all prevailing words Of disintercsted af.
fection. She is ever adding virtue to virtue,
and deeds of philanthropy and love to those
that have heretofore embellished her life, and
ever gaining jewels to add to her already
sparkling crown.

"The notion that traitors are to be treated

PRICE. TWO CE NTS

Church, and the Church as whole, should
so arise the banner of the cross, that sin and
rebellion against Gods holy government
should be subdued and overthrown, and all
Christians, Of every name, gathered around
that common central bond of union, should
march onward to victory. The thought is
finely expressed by Pollock, in his description
of the Christian missionary, who went forth
to preach the word of life, and
&C High on the Pagan hills, where Satan sat
ELcamped, and o'er the subject kindoms threw
Perpetual night, to plant Immanuel'i cross,
he ensign of the gospel blazing round
immortal truth, and in the wilderness
or human waste, to sow eternal life''

i CAvED IN.-The malcontents of East Tennessee have caved. The State Leg islature has ordered an election of mem- bers to the Confederate Congress, to take place on the first Thursday in August. - Brownlow, in the Whig, of the 4th inst, advises the Union men of East Tennessee to go into the election. but tells them to be sure to vote for Maynard, Nelson, and men of such like stamp, and not for Se- cessionists.
 If Maynard and Nelson have consent ed to go to the Confederate Congress, pro- vided they are elected. and if Brownow and the Union men of East Tennessee have consented to vote for them, or any body else, to go there, they have caved, and we think the Union game has been played out in that section. = Southern {Ga.

 AIDING THE SOUTH. Every citizen of the South who has money, cotton or grain, has good opportunity to invest in Southern Confederacy, bonds bearing eight per cent. interest. We have class of men in Prairie County who have thus far done nothing towards aiding the war of defence in which the South is engaged. Some of these men when asked to take even County bonds to aid in arming men to protect their property have refused to do SO! Now we propose that the Home Guard in each Township, in Prairie County, furnish a list of those whe are known to possess :he wealth, and have thus far refused to aid in defending their own homes and fresides. These stingy, close-fisted wretches, who expect their poor, but patriotic neighbors to pro- tect them and their wealth, should be com. pelled to disgorge, either by taxation or Aealthy Jorce of public opinion. We have no douht, q tev of this character are in Des Arc and its vicinity. May a sudden trembling seize them, until they come forward and do their duty. Don't dodge !!

One housaid men, we'll armed, were dispatch ed to make the arrest of a single unarm- ed man, asleep in bed, and they absolutely accomplished the daring feat with gal lantry eminently worthy of all yank eedom!

"WHo's WHo IN WAsHINGToN 2"--The N. Y. Tribune is beginning to attacll with savage ferocity old Abe and his Cabinet. Greeley complains that it is Eext to an impossbiIity to discover who really wields the power of the executive at Washington. Triumvirates, composed of Weed, Seward and Cameron, "Tycoon Scott" old Blair and the 'little woman" from Illinois, are each in their turn supposed to exercise an ascendency. As for Uncle Abe, he is merely passive instrument in their hands. The result is that "the pursuit of office or anything else, news or contracts, at the disposal of the government. appears to be attended with greater difficulties now than under any previous administrations"

A Daring Adventure and Sharp Work
 Near Alexandria.

A few days ago we had a despatch from Alexandra, stating that a citizen of Rich moud was killed while attacking the fede. ral pickets. The Richmond Enquirer, of the 3d inst, in the following account of a daring adventure near AlIexandrla, shows how the gallant citizen lost his life:
 By gentleman who came passenger over the Central and Orange roads yesler- day, we learn that on Sunday evening last sharp skirmish took place between a scouting party of our troops and strong picket of the enemy, posted near Hunting Creek, and within a short distance of AL exandria. The Confederate party were composed of five men from the Govern. or's Guard, five of the Goochland Cavalry and twenty Alabamans, besides three guides; thirty-three in all.
 By some means they possessed them- selves of the coun,ersign of the enemy, and thus succeeded n passing two lines of senlinels, intending to get as far down as possible. and gather up all on their return. They now came, however, upon strong picket of about fifty men, who had become
 
 apprised of their approach, and fired upon them as they advanced, killing one of their number, Sergeant Henry-Haynes, of the Governors Guard, Capt. Cabell, of Richmond city.
 The fire was promptly returned, when the enemy fled, leaving five dead upon the ground. The fugltives rapidly gained their camp, which was near by, and spread the alarm; whereupon our party saw the necessity of an immediate retreat, which they effected without further loss or incl dent.
 Intelligence subsequently, received rep. resents that the daring stroke above de- scribed filled the invaders in Alexandria with alarm and expectations of a speedy and general attack.

MASKED BArrERIEs.-The northern troops seem to be in perfect terror Of the "rebels" masked batteries. It was a masked battery at Bethel. It was masked battery at Vienna. General Beauregard, they say. has filled the hills oI Fairfax with "masked batteries" Every bush hides a masked battery" They have become So suspicious of traps" that, like crows, the simple stretching of a line across field, is almost sufficient to make them adopt the double quick" The N. Y. Herald is greatly exercised al those sanguinary expedients of fthe southern sol diers, in particular, and against all can non in general. It says.
 When Norfolk was lost to the govern tnent two thousand five hundred pieces of artillery were lost with it-a larger num- Der than the first Napoleon captured du- ring his entire campaigns. These are for the most part guns of heavy calIbre, and many of them rined cannon. The confederates have distributed probably a thousand ofthem all over the South. where they are now planted in masked batteries to harass the troops of the government wherever they meet them. In addition to these the confederates possess at the pres- ent time not less than two thousand can- non, If we include those stolen from the forts which they seized, and the number since manufactured at the Tredegar works in Richmond, and in other foundries all over the South, still leaving fifteen hun- dred guns in Norfolk.
 How long these guns are to be permit- ted to remain in Norfolk is question of time. and how much longer the confed- crates are to continue constructing mask ed batteries is mere question of time also.

THE DISPATCHES STATE LIES The associated press dispatches from Washing ton and New York that we daily receive, in addition to being false, are getting to be stale, as well as improbable. We have of late been in receipt of news by mail the same day It was transmitted by telegraph, and frequently received it the day before
 In the despatches received Saturday noon was an account of fight at Buck. harmon, Fa., stating that two Ohio regi. ments had captured 400 rebels, 200 hor. ses, &c.

Fight tho Devil with Fire.

The crew of the Savannah are still in irons. and the Lincoln organs are clamor- ing loudly for their execution as pirates The Delta cites the fact, and says: "These threats ought to enioin great vigilance on the part of the officers of the Confederate States, in guarding the prisoners now held by our Government. We have enough to offset two against one of Lincoln's prison CTS. Van Dorn has several hundred in Texas, and, hard as it may be on the poor fellows, they will have to swing when ever any of our psiyateers are punished as pirates. There has been great remiss- ness and neglect on the part of the Mar shaEs of the Confederate Courts, in dis charging the prisoners taken by our pri. vateers. They ought to be held in close confinement, at least until it is known that Lincoln has abandoned his insane and barbarian purpose of hanging our priva- teers as pirates. The ler taiionis is not sufficiently appreciated in these States. Desirous as we may be of conducting this war under the rules of civilized warfare, common prudence and self-defence de- mand that soe should fight he dsuiI with fire" gY

 THE CONFEDERATE STATES AND THE SUPPLY OF CoTToN.-We have been in the habit of regarding the United States with great respect as the principal providers of the cotton whereby four millions of per- sons in this country subsist. Let us not forget that we must now transfer this feel ing 10 the Southern section of the late Union. Our merchants and manufactur- CTS would do we'll to cultivate their private means of communication with the South ern States, which are solely the cotton producers; for upon the action that may be taken by the Confederate Government de- bends the question of the future cotton supply. in default of the ability of the North 10 maintain an efficient blockade, which alone could claim 10 be recognized. according to the law of nations. 1t is a great drawback at the present moment that nearly all the American intelligence that reaches Europe through the North ern States. .9atdi aiteram partem is a motto which can never be safely disre- garded where there Is a desire 10 arrive at correct conclusions upon any point in which there are two parties - London Money Market Review.

 TAXING SUGAR, TEA AND COFFEE The New York Tribune, Irrepressible or gan, thus glibly talks of taxing the people, q direct, outrageous tax upon the bone and sinew of the land to raise reverence to carry on the war, for freedom to the ne. gro, to make the African the equal of the white man, to reduce white labor to the level of slave labor. Sugar is dear enough now 10 poor people. who have to work hard for money enough to buy it at it's present price, yet these abolitionists wan, to levy an additional tax of two cents per pound to carry on the war. to begin with. and there's no telling how high 1t will be in the end:
 A duty of two cents per pound on sugar will add five millions per annum to the revenue, and will hardly be felt by consul mers. if it should be, we shall be encour- aged to produce more and more sugar at home. We must have additional revenue, and sugar, tea and coffee will yield i, more readily than aught beside. Let us secure ten to twenty millions by imposts on these articles. and then look around for other sources equally productive.

 The men who have plunged us into this war, who have haloed on the people, are men that have wisely staid at home. And a part of the plan to cover up their own want of courage, Is to keep up ihe cry of the war. The rebels in the South who planned the dissolution of the Union, who advocated 1t in Congress, and in newspa- pers, and on the stump, are the men who have taken the field; while the Northern editors and Congressmen and Senators, who opposed compromise, who let us drift into this war, nay, who dragged us into 1t. are at home making contracts to supply army stores, and shouting "traitor" al ev- cry man who ventures to remind them Of the evll they have brought on the country, or suggest remedy for It.
