The Bivouac.

In primitive warfare armies rush to bat.
tie uncumbered with baggage, or with
much breadstuff. The country through
which they pass must feed them; and when
night comes the ground is their bed. And
it is curious to observe how the perfection
Of the art of arms, in modern times, causes
a return to these simple practices of bar
barism.
As the world became civilized armies
were provided with tents. A camp is like
city of white roofs, which, as hosts
moves on, disappears from one valley in
the morning, and rc-appcars in another at
night, as if by magic. But it is a magic
with labor in it, and is accomplished only
with a large outlay of time and toll.
Napoleon who rcvolutionizcd everything
in war, revolutionizcd this. He left the
camps and the long lines of heavy and
slow.moving wagons behind. His soldiers
built their fires where they halted the
foragers swept the country for provisions /;
supper and bed were improvised beside
the blaze and in the morning at the sound
of the drum and trumpet the Amy rose to
its feet as one man ready for the march.
There was no camp to take off, and the
lcgions of the conqucror were on the cne-
my while he was rubbing his eyes open or
cooking his breakfast.
Napoleon's innovations were initiated by
the rest of Europe and the night bivouac
particularly has become the practice of all
modern armies that find quick and uncum-
bered movements necessary or advanta-
gcous. There is something picturesque
and sublime in it. The lines of fires flick
ering and growing in the night; the groups
of tired soldiers, their free and easy atti'
tudes, their arms on the ground ready to
be caught up at any instant; simple fare,
the men cooking their supper, the long
stretching shadows and the back ground
of darkness-who cannot imagine all this !
Then the vast multitude slumbers as one
man only; the scntinels keeping watch -
The trees shelter some, and some lie in
their blankets under the stars. And
thousands all around are dreaming-somc
o. home, some of battle and victory, some
of partings that were painful, or of future
meetings that shall be full of joy-till
suddenly the trumpet sounds; and all
that host rises from the earth, and the re-
al tiles of the march, the fight, the terrible
roar and whistle of death, take the place
of dreams.

and took him to Major Colburn for in
struction as how to dispose of him. The
prisoner requested one privileg as his last,
which the Major very humanely granted.
He said his brother lay short distance
off, in dying condition, and he wished to
see him. bade him lead the way, and l
followed. He took me to an old log hut
but few rods from where our regiment
was halted. On the north side, in the
shade, We found the wounded man. The
prisoner spoke to him-he opened his
eyes-the film of death had already over
spread them, and the tide of life was fast
ebbing. He was covered with blood, and
the swarms Of fes aud mosquitoes, which
were fattening upon his life's blood, indi,
Gated that he had lain there for some time.
They clasped hands together, muttered a
few words in the German language, sup
plicatcd the Throne of Grace for their
families at home, kissed and bade each 9TH

for the column was moving-"brother you
are dying, and I am a prisoner" The
man was shot with musket ball, in the
back, just over the hip, from which fact l
inferred that he was on the retreat when

AN AFFECTING INCIDENT OF THE LATE

witnessed one of the most singular, at the
same time, most affecting incident, which
will probably occur during this war, if it
should last for twenty years. We were
struggling over the battle field, examining
the ground upon which we had such a
bloody conflict two days before. We came
unexpectedly into the Centreville road land
seeing house on the left with the usual
signs betokening a hospital, one of our
party being physician expressed wish

inquiry we learned that the stable below
contained thirteen wounded Yankees we

on entering we found Washington Artil-

he did not-he had fought in battery

Letter from Hon. Jno. Sherman.
THE HABEAs CORPUS QUESTION.
To the Editors ofhe Cincinnati Gazette.
MAxarrrJn Ohio Auouet 10 1851

To the Editors offhe Cincinnati Gazette.
MANSFIELD, Ohio, August IL, 1861.
Gentlemen In your paper of the Sth
l find an editorial which you commence
with the following statement:
"Mr' Sherman declined te vote his ap-
proval of the Presidents act in authoriz-
ing the suspension of the privilege Of the
writ of hdbeaS corpus in the case of the ar
rest of the Baltimore rebels by military
authority, because he said the Constitution
conferred the power to suspend this writ
solely on Congress"
Thereupon you read me quite lecture.
The difficulty in the statement upon which
you base your article is that IL is not true.
l did not decline to vote my approval of
the act of the President referred to- but, ,on
the contrary, dill vote my approval of that
act, and declared my approval in the Sem
ate in as strong language as 1 knew how
to use.
1t is true I did not vote for Senator
Wilson's resolution. No vote by Yeas and
Nays was taken upon it. / would have
voted against it, and l am well satisfied q
majority of the Republican Senators would
have voted likewise. But it was not for
the reason you state. All the Republican
and several of the Democratic Senators
cordially approved and justified the acts
of the President in Baltimore, and so de-
clared and voted.
Senator Wilson's resolution declared
that the Presidents orders increasing the
regular army and suspending the writ of
hobeos corpus were legal and valid in
other words, were among the powers dele.
gated to the President by the Constitution.
l never met any one who claimed that the
President could by proclamation increase
the regular army. The legal power to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus has been
recently claimed for the President, but l
am convinced that by the plain meaning oi
! tuo SoholiIutiou OouSlcoo dlOuc luuSI uc-
i termine the cases in which the public safe
ty requires its suspension. While ap
proved and justified the acts of the Presi
dent, l could not say with Senator Wilson
that they were strictly legal or within his
delegated powers. There are times when
our executive officer must anticipate the
action of Congress, but in such case he
assumes the hazard of "Bill of Impeach.
ment," or "Bill of Indemnity" The
President merely assumed this hazard land
in the vacancy of Congress wisely assumed
a power not delegated to him by the Con
stitution. He places his own justification
in his message on the ground of public ne
cessity, and on this ground his acts have
been approved, justified and hgalised by
Congress.
hope from your general fairness and
courtesy this correction will be made in
yonr columns. Very truly, yours.

HoME.-A home 1T is the bright,
blessed, adorable phantom which sits high
est on the sunny horizon that girdeth life
When shall it be reached? 1t is not the
house, though, that may have its charms !;
nor the field, carefully titled, and streaked
with your own foot-paths; not the trees,
though their shadow be to you like that OF
"great rock in a weary land J" nor yet
is it the freside, with its cozy comfort nor
the pictures, which tell of loved ones nor
the cherished books 4; but more, than all
these, it is the presence! The altar of
your confidence is there the end of your
worldly faith is there and adoring it all
and sending your blood in passionate flow,
is the ecstacy of the conviction that there,
at least, you are beloved that there you
are understood; that there your errors
will meet ever with gentlest forgiveness ;
that there you may unburthen your soul ,
fearless ofhars, unsympathizing ears; and
that there you may be entirely and joy
fully-yoursclf!

A MISTAKEN NoTIoN-GooD ADVICE
FOR THE TIMEs.-Some persons seem to
think they must hoard up every cent they
can get hold of, in order to provide against
hard lines, and we hear lessons on all
sides about economy. This is a must mis-
taken policy. In fact it is the most GER
tain way in bringing about the very evils
they fear. The suspension of all enter
prises leaves the laboring people without
the means of support, and the result is the
prostration of every branch Of business.
Every nan that has the means should per-
severe in his projects of improvements
which promise to be productive. Men
will still want houses to live in, bread to
eat and clothes to wear. The farmer need
not therefore hesitate to purchase fertili-
GERS, to raise stock, and to put up such
buildings as are necessary. Those who
have wealth should live as heretofore, and
men generally should remember that there
is such thing as being penny wise and
pound foolish If the people cannot get
work they cannot purchase food, and if
they cannot purchase it they must have it
given to them

dressed his wounds, and sent off in haste
for an ambulance to take the wounded
Yankee to his own regimental hospital"
