How an Army Moves.

There arc great many things besides men
and guns essential to the army, and COM
mander about to lead an army into hostile
country, first sees that the comm ssariat is
well provided with provisions, that there are
ample means of transportation, and that there
Is reserve OF ammunition, and clothing, and
a good supply OF hospital stores and medicines.
All the preliminary arrangements for the
march having been carefully made, the
g order of march " is communicated to the
several commanding officers Of divisions,
orlgades and regiments, but not published in
orders. The troops are distributed according
to the character of the country. In a very
open country, large proportion of cavalry
would be at the head of the column but gen
orally 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 companies
should be detailed each day and the regi-
mcnt that has the right of the line one day
should be next day IN the rear
In woody or mountainous country,
attachments OF tankers and skirmishers are
thrown out to the right and left ofthc column,
at the distance Of one of two hundred PAGES,
to keep sharp lookout, and prevent any
such disastrous and gratuitous experience as
those painfully and recently familiar to us in
connection with the ambuscade on the road
to Vienna. The column having been formed
at half or quarter distance, and the baggage
train assembled in the rear, protected by q
guard selected from each regiment for Its
own baggage, the column is put in motion
and the march commenced with the same reg
ularity as would be observed by regiment
moving in and out of garrison town, the
band playing, the light infantry with aims
sloped and those of the rflcmen swung over
the shoulders, the officers with swords drawn,
exact wheeling distances preserved, and per-
feet silence observed. After having proceed
led short distance in this manner the word
OF command "route STEP" is given by the
general at the head of the leading battalion,
and passed quickly ON to the rear. The
captains, instead of continuing at the head
Of their companies, draw back to the rear of
them, that they may see any men of their
respective companies who attempt to quit the
ranks without leave. The soldiers then mar CHI
and carry their arms in any manner conve-
nient to them, conversation and smoking
being ordinarily allowed.

Mcclellan and Beauregard.
The Chicago Times says:

Inc Chicago Times says:
w hen General Mcclellan was resident of
this city, he kept up an active correspondence
with his army associates and among them
with Beauregard whom he had known inti-
mately. At that time a great fillibustering
expedition to Central America was contem.
plated by the restless spirits in the South,
and Beauregard became one of the chief
conspirators. Bat be knew that Walker
then in full blossom, was not the man for
leader; and he had not that entire confidence
IN himself that would justify his taking the
command. He applied to Mcclellan. Offer
ing him the most flatering inducements that
could be held out--ths leadership with arbi-
trary powers. active support throughout the
South, the lions share Of the expected spoil.
and the military dictatorship of the to. be
conquered provinces-ifhe would engage in
the enterprise. This offer was summarily
rejected; but was renewed again and again
with new temptations, until Mcclellan per-
cmptorily forbade any further reference to it.
In the correspondence Beaurega,d admitted
the military superiority Of Mcclellan, and
expressed himself thoroughly satisfied With
subordinate position in his command an
estimate Of our young Generals worth that
expected events will abundantly prove.

compel us to yield obedience to their naughty
and tyrannical dctation. Horrible seville
instructions would break olt everywhere in
the slareholIing region, making fields and
| iire-sides desolate.
| Masses of slaves, first from the Slave States
nearest to the Free States. and afierward
| from those more Tt mote, would escape-some
by stealth and others openly-till the last
sestige of Slavery would disappear. All the
| petty powers, jealous and hostile would have
to keep standing armies vast in proportion
to the means Of supporting them, and the
consequent taxes would impoveriSh the
people to the point of hopeless and irretricva-
BILE ruin. Hundreds and thousands of dcs-
pcrste men, accust omcd to blood and violence.
and having no means of honest subsistence
for themselves and families, would organize
gangs of handitti, such as Tor years have
infested Mexico. But this condition of anar.
chy or halfanarchy could not last forever or
even very long. From the midst of all the
confusion and lawlessneSs and strife, some
bold mastcrspirit would spring up. and, rally
ing thousands to his standard, pursue his
conqucring and devastating march until the
whole of what has been the United States
would be made bloody and relentless despo-
tsm as drear and remorselcss as any one
recorded in history.
And now the question is whether the United
States. through dread of the inconvenicnces
and even the great sufftrings and sacrifices Of
the war that is upon us, ought to accept this
condition Of things for the sake of brief, a
hollow. nominal peace. To our minds 1t
won.d be a dreadful crime against God and
the human race. 1t would mark the present
generation of the people of this country as
the guitiest enemies and mnrderers of Freedom
IN all the history of the world. Our glorious
old fathers Of &c bc1ueathcd not more to us
than TO the generation that are to come here
alter their posterity as well as ours-the
great and magnificent inheritance of the
Union. Our fathers of later periods rece ived,
guarded, transmitted the sacred, the magnlG-
cent Request to us, to be in turn passed down
by us to those for whom, as for ourselves,
the pa trots who won it by their blood o,dain-
ed It, And now should we. can we, in the
face of Heaven and earth, stop the awful
bequtst in its descent, SILVER it into worthless
fragments, destroy that which is not our own
but mankind S for this and the coming ages,
deiraud posterity Of the richest blessing or
dalned for them by the sainted and iusrious
dead of dead century swindle all the human
race oflhis and all the future time Of what
myrlads of millions have contemplated with
gratitude and alteration as the mightiest boon
of God to his creatures, and leave our names
to creak and blacken on the gbbit of infamy
as the names of men who cursed their race
and shall be cursed by it as long as there shall
be an atmosphere to bear the sound of a
curse upon its bosom

MY BOY.
BY Sc NATDE.'


My dear little boy with eyes so blue
My boy with hair of a golden hne,
And heart overlooking with Joy:
His playtliings are lying here and there
This is his table that is his chair
But where is my darling boyl
AT early morn look in his bed
But find not pllow'd there the head
Ofmy darling little boy
He does not comc his breakfast to cat
listen In vain for the patter of feet,
The feet Of my little boy.
l wait and listen then signing. say:-
" know he is very busy at play,
Ny froicksome little boy;
But when he gets tired he Il come to me,
And ask me to take him on my knee.
My poor little. weary boy.''
The day goes blythe lamps are alight,
My lamp is empty-therc comes to night
No tired-out, sleepy boy;
And | close my eyes to hide the tear,
And mnrmnr again and again the prayer -
"God keep my dear little boy 20
But where has he gone, this boy Of minc7-
Away. far away, where snnhcams shine
On the babbing brooks at play,
To the dear old home where years ago
1 chased the butterfly to and fro,
AS my little boy does to-day.
To my fathers house in the country sweet
Away from the city's noisomc heat,
Away from its toll and care,
Tie has gone, my boy with eyes so blue
To beautiful fields, and pastures new,
O'crswept by the mountain air.
When childhood, youth, and manhood arc
past
When his work on Earth is done at last,
And a-wcary grows my boy,
To My Fathers house in realms above
Where all is Beauty, and joy, and Love,
May the angels guide my boy
