KNIGHT OF THE GARTER.-While the It'll
Regiment was in Philadelphia fine old Qua
ker lady, observing that one of the band was
in state of great embarrassment for the lack
of a string with which to secure the mouth of
his bag of provisions, observed, quietly
"Friend, would not give thee an implement
of war, but thee shall have string to preserve
thy food" Then she turned partly away for
an Instant and stopped down to tie her shoe,
apparently, but when she rose up she handed
to the blushng blower of brass neat green
band, that moment before had been doing
duty as a garter.

SIR: | wish to introduce to your notice
the very extraordinary character of the
7th, 8th and 9th clauses of the sixteenth
section Of the bill reported by the Commit
tee on Military Affairs and the Militia.-
The inefhciency Of the present army ration

Congress; yet, in this very bill, the Com
mittee do change the bread and -four ra-
tions from eighteen to twenty-five ounces,
and that Of biscuit from twelve to sixteen
ounces, being fourth on biscuit, and
one-sixth on -four and bread. Messrs. Ed
itors, all soldiers agree that the present
rations OF bread and biscuit when honestly
distributed, are sufficient, amply sufficient,
and If so, then the enormous amount (on
the number Of men demanded) Of 181, 122
bbls., upward Of Sl,80O,00O, must remain
in the hands Of some one other than the
soldier. God forbid that should stint the
brave volunteer, but insufficient diet can
not properly be remedied BY surplus Of
one article; and 80 far from agreeing with
the Chairman Of the Military Committee,
that the regulation Of the soldiers rations
is not proper subject for the considera-

Times, makes the following suggestion in re-
gard to turning the enemy's position at Ma
nassas
Let civilian, then, make one suggestion
to those who hold in their hands the lives
of our patriotic soldiers and the honor of
their country's flag. His suggestion is this:
The rebel army ought not to be attacked
in its present position, for the simple rea-
son that It Folo occupies, Of al sfhsTs tgheh It's
engineers could select, The DsTy spot in lOhieh it
can be most conveniently and certainly s,E-
rounded, and ultimately captured.
The rebel camp at Manassas is protected
on three sides by considerable streams, and
on the fourth side, though at some distance
of, by mountain ranges, the passes of which
are OF course, held by their forces
Thus, on the north side of their position
is Bull Run, a name now familiar to every
reader.
On the south side of the Junction is Broad
Run, stream quite as large as Bull Run.
On the last side is the 0ccaquan River,
formed by the confluence of Broad Run and
Cedar Run, and receiving Bull run as trib-
utsry.
Now, between these three streams, and
thus protected by them on three sides, is the
rebel army-well intrenched, doubtless, and
with intrenchments protected by appropri-
ate advanced works.
The distance from Manassas Junction, the
centre of their position, out to either of these
surrounding streams, is from two to four
miles. " gLEEU
The question now is, how should this po-
sition be turned2
We have a force already at Harper's Ferry,
capable, with another at the mouth of Sene-
ca, and strong guard at each of the fords,
of protecting the line of the Potomac and
crossing over into Virginia, and, after con-
eentrating, advancing upon the enemy's left
flank, whenever the time arrives to justify
that movements EIgeA sfe "a it..
That time, however, will not arrive until
a strong force shall have been sent down the
Potomac from Washington, or brought up
the Potomac by sea, aud landed at the
moutho of the 0ccsqusn, within ten miles of
the enemys flank and Duufries, within
twenty miles of the Orange & Alexandria rail-
road, the channel through which be pro
cures all his supplies and re-iniorcements
from the South. ~
