HOW AN ARMY MOVES.

There are great many things besides
men and guns essential to an army, and
a commander, about to lead an army into
hostile country. first secs that the COM
missariat is we'll provided with provisions,
that there are ample means for .transpoi
cation. and that there is reserve of am
munition and clothing, and good sup
ply of hospital stores and medicines All
the preliminary arrangements for the
march having been carefully made, the
"order of marcel" is communicated to the
several commanding officers of divisions.
brigades and regiments, but not published
in orders y TIE troops are distributed ac-
cording to the character Of the country.
In very open country, large proper
ton of cavalry would be at the head Of
the column; but generally it is distrib-
ured 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
regiment that has the right of the line
one day shonld be next day in the rear.
In woody or mountainous country, de-
tachments or fankcrs and skirmishcrs are
thrown out to the right and left of the
column, at a distance of one or two hun
bred PAGES to keep sharp lookout, and
prevent any such disastrous and gratui-
tous experiences 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 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 reg

and passed quickly on to the rear. The
captains, instead of continuing at the

business of no less Importance than the
equipment of q full regiment of cavalry,
says that the following conversation took
place.

and if accede to your wishes your pa

At ten minutes past four precisely our
informant was at the generals door, which
few open at his demand. At this early
hour the general was at his table with the
papers before him. The Colonel made ais
bow and was saluted thus: -

New Article for a Bed.

From the Cheshire Republican.
New Article for a Bed. ..
We had an opportunity the Other day of exam
lining model Of the new Spring Bed, recently
invented by Mr.. Thomas Toman, of fitchbuigh,
Mass, and which is so highly recommended by
those who have used it in Lowell, hua,
kitchburgh etc. 1t looks like a first rate thing
1t is made somewhat on the principle of pair Of
bellows-air tight at the bottom, with the excep-
ton of holes with clappers" over them to
admit the air when the pressure il taken fl ION the
top of the bed. When the pressure is again made
upon the top, by movement of persons sleeping,
the - clappers' close, and the al is forced out
through the upper part or . stutling' of the bed
which is porous, thus continually ventilating it
and keeping it free from all impurities. The
upholstry Is set upon SPIRAL sp ings braced so
perfectly as to render it impossible for them to
Slip out of place and the filling is made of either
hair, moss or prepared husks, as any one may
desire. 1t is certainly very perfect bed and its
invention reflects much credit upon the ingenuity
of Mr. Tolman.
We are also gratified to refer to few of those
who have used these beds in St. Adams and vi.
