A Patriot Soldier.

The following letter was written by Lieut.
Mullan, (at present stationed at Fort Dales')
previous to his leaving for the Pacific coast
and published for the first time in the Oregon
papers of last week:
BALTIMORE, Md, March Q, 1861.
Gov Hicks, Annapolis, Maryland
My DEAR SIR: In my interview with you
this morning, stated freely and frankly th9
course that should pursue in case Maryland
determined to unite her interests with the Sc
ceding and rebelous elements OF our couh-
try, and in order that there should be no
doubt on the subject, either in your own
mind or that Of my friends, desire here 10
state that have by solemn oath sworn ar
legiance to the flag ofmy country, and IN the
hour of danger, shall with my efforts and my
! life, be found to uphold it against enemies
abroad and traitors at home. / speak alone
for myself; let others think and act as they
may. My own convictions from the begin
ming to the present stage of tins pollllcal
revolution have been, that it is fraud upon
the people the reaction of which VIII S'hk us
perpetrators and its abcttors into eternal IN
fanny. Valuable lives may be sacrificed; tne
material development of our country paraI-
wed, and devastation and ruin make DESC
| IdJc many now hdHpy ho''o, "NiC
storm shall have abated; but verify DC
| lieve that from thence forward shall date the
commencement of better and more stable
government TO be handed down to those who
are TO bear our names.
The hand of Heaven cannot be moving
the machinery of this revolution For If 1t
should succeed our hopes for the emancipa-
ton of man from political thradom are en-
ded. The effects of this revolution will not
confine themselves to the limits of Our own
land, but from the political prisons OF Eu-
rope, from the pagan prisons of Asia, and
from the penal prisons of the isles OF the IA
cifc, will come up the echo of the walings
of thousands of the human family whose
beacon of liberty has had its foundation on
the shores of America.
The events of our country for the last two
months, have shaken, if not well nigh des-
troyed the confidence of the Government in
every officer of the army from the border
slave States, as to his loyalty and his relation
to the Government in this hour of peril,
which, if continued, uIust lead to a system
Of military espionage as uncomfortable to
the officer as it must prove veXatious to the
Government
desire, therefore to state to you and to
my friends, that though the associations that
circle themselves around me and Maryland
are such as | should separate from with
mournful reget, yet my services as an ofi-
Ger of the county now and hereafter shall be
rendered to that Government, and to that
alone whose officers | have sworn to obey.

SOMETHING "To Warm THE BABIES. The

by lummers and strikers to "work" for them

limited that he believed in the Peoples tick

The EXrREss.-Ihe Union, abiding to the
quotations recently made by the Exprese
from the N. Y. Day Book, ia REASONABLE
sheet now defunct) and kindred papers, says;
1t really modest in the Express to copy
extracts from such papers for the reading of
loyal citizens in California, but this attempt
to make converts to the doctrines of jeff
Davis is too shallow to have any other effect
thau to convince our people that if this same
Express was ouly located in one of the Con-
federate States it would be the boldest, in
stead Of being as it is now, most covert
advocate of rebellion.

obey Orders-AdvIoe to Volunteers

obey O~Fders-AdvIoe TO Volunteers.
Tie Mobile Tribune publishes a letter writ
ten by a gentleman of Alabama to his son, a
young volunteer, which contains some good
adTlee. We quote:
In the first place, then, my son, when a
soldier shoulders his rifle under the flag of
his county, he must surrender TO that coun.
try his WILL, his whims, tastes, fancies and
prtjudieesj and the first highest and most
solemn duty he owes TO that country is the
most implicit and prompt obedience to the
orders OF bis superior officers. Disobedience,
even in matters of minor gravity, frequently
forteits life. IfBn order is issued, that must
be the end OF inquiry. The success of a bat.
tie or campaign msy depend upon the con.
eealment Of the purposes of the command,
and II may become necessary to punish with
death an omission to observe that which may
seem 10 be q very unimportant order to the
soldier who does not understand il.
Napoleon once issued an order that the
lights OF the camp must be extinguished at
eight O'Clock, and on seeing a light burning
in the tent of an officer, after that hour had
elapsed, he repaired thitber in person, and
entered the tent just as the officer had fin
ishtd Writing his wife's name on the back Of
q letter be had written to her. He told the
Emperor he had uncensciously violated the
law for one moment, aad it was done in the
enthusiasm Of affection, with which he had
been overcome by the thoughts Of home.
"Unseal that letter" said the Emperor, ''and
write as dictate" The officer obeyed, and
wrote as follows: "P. ST. die 70 morrow
morning at eight o'clock, for violating the
laws Of the camp. by not extinguishing the
light In my tent az the precise time / was
commanded to do it."
This decision may have seemed savage
and barharous, but when your intellect shall
have matured 10 the comprehension OF how
much depends upon subordination and a
rigid adherence to the laws Of the camp, you
will see that Napoleon could only be lust 10
me thousand Of lives under his care by as.
Stunning the appearance Of cruelty to this one
delinquent.
Obedience is not seEEility-it is duty. 1t
"a therefore, not cowardly, but honorable.
Int amp Is no place for the manners of the
drawmg-Toom, and soldiers are proverbialIy
blunt; therefore, do net imagine if an officer
speaks sharply 70 you that he wants to insuIt
you or browbe you. Z 2
