casions of public parade, is attracting the at
tention of officers of companies, some Of whom
complain of the tardiness NANTES ted in get

the grumbling Of men who have TO stand in
active, holding heavy muskets in their hands.
When the eyolutions are being performed, the
excitement consequent there on makes one
forget his burthen, but when standing at a
support arms, doing nothing. the case is
different, Though the companies are ordered
TO assemble at a certain hour, and obey the
orders, and the Colonel is present to com

that the Adjutant of Regiment has good
deal of work to do in laying IL OF in exact pro.

throughout this and other counties to

the abandonment of all party cliques
for the one common effert-the sup

pears, and is just as it should be, The
universal feeling throughout the land,

can be found in party conventions,

Government shall be sustained in a
manner to strike terror to its foes

the 10th instant says: There is not q
sing e act Of the Confederate States
that could be so constructed as to
justify any reasonable man in coming
to the conclusion that the South in
tended 20 take Washington. We
have never claimed more than is en-
braced in the boundaries of the sece-

tent of our claim, Washington is
situated in that part of the District
of Columbia transferred by Maryland,

SICKNESS OF SOUTHERN Troops.
In the reports which reach US of the
condition of the insurgents army
South Of the Potomac, We constantly
hear that a large number Of their SOL
diers are suffering from sickness, and
their power for vigorous movements
is thus much impaired. The prevail
ing diseases among them are the humps
smallpox, and measles while among
the Northern troops, there has been
little ii any similar sickness. An off.
Ger, Who served with distinction in the
Mexican war, assures US that, during
that campaign, similar state of
things existed, an9 that, while in
nearly all tho Southern regiments
crest suffering was caused by prav-
alance OF the diseases referred to,
scarcely o Northern regiment was at
tackled by them. His theory on the
subject is that, the South being more
sparsely settled than the North, dis
eases which, in this section, attack
nearly all persons during their infancy
