How an Army Moves.

There are a great many, things beside
men and guns, essential 10 an army, and
commander about 10 lead an army into
hostile country, first sees that the commits
sariat is we'll provided with provisions, that
there are ample means of transportation,
and that there is a reserve of ammunition
and clothing, and go cd supply of hospital
stores and medicines All the preliminary
orders for Inc march having been carefully
made, the 'order to, march, is communica-
ted to the several commanding officers of
divisions, b:igades ard regiments, but not
published in orders. The troops are dis
tributed in accordance with the character OF
the country. In very open country, a
large proportion OF cavalry would be al the
head of the column, but generally it is dis.
tributed throughout the line. The artillery
should be in the rear Of the first foot regi-
ment. An advance of rear guard of mounted
iroops-one or two companies-should be
detailed each day and the regiment that
has the right of the line one day shouId
be next day in the rear. In a woody or
mountainous country, detachmenis of flank
ers and skirmishers are thrown out TO the
right and lef, of the column al the distance
OF one or two hundred PAGES, 10 keep a
sharp look out, and prevent any such dis
asirous and gratuitous experience as those
painfully and recently familiar to us in con-
nection with the ambuscade on the road 10
Vienna. The column having been formed
quarter or half distance, and the baggage
train assembled in he rear, projected by a
guard selected from each regiment for its
own baggage, the column is put in motion
and The march commences with the same
regularity as would be observed by regi.
ment moving in or out of garrison town,
the bands playing, the light infantry with
arms slopes, and those of the rihemen
slung over the shoulder, the officers with
swords drawn,exact wheeling distance pre- :
served, and perfect silence observed. At
ter having proceeded for 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
20 the rear The captains, instead of con-
tinuing at the head OF their companies draw
back TO the rear OF them, that they may see
any man of their respective companies who
attemp. to quit the ranks without leave
The soldiers then carry their arms in any
manner convenient for them, conversation
aud smoking being ordinarily allowed.

"THE LIFE OF THE FLESH is IN THE BLOOD"
was said by inspiration long before Iiarvey's
discovery of its circulation had brought TO
light its purposes and uses. Now we know
not only that "lile is in the blood" but that
disease inhabits it also. Many of the dis
orders that pervade the human frame, have
their homes in it, thrive and grow in it
The celebrated DR.. J. C. Aver, of Lowell,
has had regard TO this important fact in ma
king remedy TO cure these disorders. His
Extract of Sarsaparilla purges out The impu-
rites of the blood and induces healthy ac-
tion in it that expels disease. This looks
reasonable, and it is true, for we know by
our own experience. Seldom as we take
any medicine, we have nevertheless sever
al times been under obligation to The skill OF
Dr. Aver for the relief which his remedies
never fail TO afford Us when we are obliged
to have recourse to them.-C Catholic, Hatydz

Abusing Democrats.

ltical branches of the Federal Government
We will, for the benefit of all such in Col.
umbia, copy the following from a western
journal, now battling for the Constitution
and the Union. Ii is as soundly Democratic
as anything uttered by Gen. Butler, and
might be perused with interest by the rea-
ders of our Democratic papers:
While earnestly desiring peace, we rec
ognize The right and duty OF the Govern
meni 10 enforce the laws, and defend itself
against assault.
We love tie Union and we love the Con-
stit ution and the Liberties ii guarantees, and
hope they may both endure forever.
We love our country's flag and look with
contempt upon the men who would dishon.
or it whether that dishonor is accomplished
by firing upon il and compelling its surren.
der as al Charleston or by draping il in
mourning and trailing il in the duet as was
done al La Sele, in Illinois, by meB who
are now loud mouihed supporters of the
war, in The defence of tho Constitution
which they denounced, and The aag which
they dishonored.
We are opposed TO the violent denuncia
tions of the Supreme Judiciary OF the coun-
try, for doing their sworn duty. and regard
such denunciatons as coming with partic-
ular bad grace with those who claim 10 be
the particular friends of "ihe Union, the
Constitution and the enforcement OF the
laws"
By ''the enforcement of The laws" we
understand not merely the enforcement OF
certain laws in certain portions OF our coun-
try, but the execution and performance oi
! every law and every duty enjoined by the
Constitution hence, we are as much in Ia
vor OF the execution of The fugitive slave
law in Boston and Chicago, as OF the reye-
nue. laws in New Orleans and in Charleston
We do not believe that in order 10 save
! the Union, 1t is necessary 10 destroy the
Constitution, or TO deny TO the citizens the
rights which that Constitution was designed
TO secure 10 him-hence we are opposed 4

| thoriiy, for The annoyance and oppression
OF their nelghbors, as is often done.

sails and rigging had been cut away, as
though she had been in a gale, and she
was endeayoring to work her way into
Charleston harhor, for the purpose of get
ting relief She was Overhanled by the
Federal feet off that coast, and by them
fitted up with such needed repairs AS
would enable her to keep on her way.
They then put the mail on board of her.
She left there, and soon got an opportunity
and lodged in either to Charleston or some
other Southern port, where she was deliv-
cred over to the rebels, together with her
valuable cargo. On an examination of the
letters in the mail from the Yankee fleet,
it was found that considerable information
leaked out as to the intention of the in
vading feet which recently left Hampton
Roads 1t appears from this source of in-
formation that their design is to attack
Charleston in force from three different
points or approaches, and it may be that
Port Royal is one of these points. This
information luckily has been in the posses
sion of the Charleston authorities long
enough to give them an opportunity to
prepare for their reception, that is if they
can place any reliance on it.
tits quite likely that the severe gale
which has been sweeping along our South
ern coast, and which prevailed here on Sat
urdny morning with so much force. has
either sunk or driven on shore Il portion of
the fleet, or it may be has so scattered them
rs to delay the time of the contemplated
attack. If this should prove Il correct sur
mise then it will only give us some addi-
tional time to make preparations, and ut
one point where we suspect they intend to
attack, few days only gained would ena-
BILE them to defy the attack of the Hessians.
Now what is stated above may probably
have some connection with the following,
which we find in the Richmond Examiner
of Saturday morning; we say it may have
some connection with it, although we don't
know that it has-we merely tell it as it
was told us, without vouching for its o.
currence.
The Examiner says:
alt is understood that the Government
has information, the particulars of which
are not given to the public, that furnishes
grounds for the belief that the Yankee fleet
were preparing to land at Port Royal, in
South Carolina There is said to be here
one of the finest and most caPacious har-
bors on the Atlantic coast, with but few
natural advantages for its defence. 1t is
thought not improbable that the enemy may
