CAL OFFICERS IN BATTLE.

AT tn6 COmmenCemenI VI all dCGlOu

to the Surgeon. These men will be en-
ployed as litter bearers and in conduct
ing the wounded to the field depots.-
No other men will be permitted to leave
the ranks for that purpose.
The Surgeons Of regiments will
promptly prepare their field stretchers
for use, and select the men to bear
them. They will then send them for
ward to the rear of the line Of battle,
ready to bring off those whose wounds
require that they shall be carried
They will then get in instant readiness
their instruments and dressings.
The Surgeons of contiguous regi-
ments will next assemble in groups of
two or three, and establish their field
depots as near the line of battle as
convenient shelter, such as wall, a
building, depression in the ground or
the like, can be found; to this point the
wounded will be conducted by the pro
per persons.
Prompt attention Will be given by the
Medical Officers on the field to any
wounded man brought to their depots
without regard to regiments.
The Chief Quarter Master Of the
army will select suitable place in the
rear, building, if possible, for the
principal depot, to which the graVer in
iuries and those about which there is
any doubt as to the necessity for imme-
date amputation will be sent, for the
necessary operations.
The Medical Director will detail the
Surgeons to take post at the principal
depot. The Surgeons detailed for this
depot, will repair thither promptly with

"MANY IN ONE"

In that flag by our country unfurl'd,
And the stripes that are swelling in majesty
there,
Like rainbow adjoining the world,-
Their lights are uusullied as these in the sky,
By 9 deed that our fathers have done,
And they're leagued in as true and as holy tie
In their motto of many in one.
From the hour when those patriots fsarlessly
flung
That banner of starlight abroad,
Ever true to themselves, to that motto they
clung,
Aa they chung to the promise of God.
And though few were the lights in the gloom
of that hour,
Yet the hearts that were striking below,
Had God for their bulwark and truth for their
power,
And they stopped not to number the foe.
The oppressed Of the earth to that standard
shabby,
Wherever its folds shall be spread,
And the exile shall feel It's his own native sky,
Where its stars shall float oTer his head,
Aud those stars shall increase till the tulnsSs
OF time,
Itd millions Of cycles has run,
Til the world shall have welcomed its mission
sublime,
And the nations of earth shall be one.
From where our green meuntain-tops blend
with the sky,
And1he giant St. Lawrence is rolled,
To the cline where the balmy Hesperides lie,
Like the dream of some prophet of old.
They conquered, and dying bcqueathed to our
care,
Not this boundess dominion alone,
But that banner whose lOyeliness hsllows the
air,
And their motto Of Many in One.
The old Allegheny may tower to heaven,
And the father of waters divide,
The links of our destiny cannot be riven
While the truth Of these words shall abide,
Then ohlet them glow on each helmet and brand
Till our blood like our rivers shall run,
Divide as we may, in our own native land,
To the rest of the world we are one.
Then up with our flag, let it stream on the cir,
Though our fathers are cold in their graves,
They had hands that could strike, they had souls
that could dare,
And their sons were not born to DO slaves,
Uplrupi with that banner Wherere it may call
Our millions shall rally around
A nation offreemen that moment shall fall,
When it stars shall be traed on the ground.

DEPUTY QUARTER MASTER
GENERALS OFFICE.

MARTINSBURG, Va, July 8, 1861.
Much neglect and carelessness IS
noticed amongst the teamstersof the
public trains. Wagon Masters will be
held responsible thatno teamster allows
his team to go without regular food and
water he keeps his wagon well
creased; his harness in good order, his
animals always shod and ready for
service; and that the teams, whether
in or out of harness, are never permit
ted to 60 faster than walk, uRless
otherwise ordered by commissioned
Officer; in which event the name Of the
officer will be reported to Head Guar
tiers.
No one except the teamster, will b
permitted to ride the horses or mules
either in or out of harness, and the
practice of soldiers riding on top Of
the wagon bows of loaded wagons is
positively prohibited. In this way the
bows are broken.
Commanding Officers, and particular
ly all officers Of the Quarter Masters
Department, will see that these regula-
ons are strictly enforced.

little difference what party Is in power these
rogues never lose their power Ostensibly
they are Republicans or Democrats, but re
ally they are nothing but swindlers. who.
whether under Republican or Democratic rule

Some fthese men have kept hold of tie

that the honest voter while imagining he
was doing. at least, his Iast. to shake of their
pernicious sway, was just casting his ballot
into their net The very candidate nomn-
ated 10 break down these corrupt influences
has more than once turned out 70 be their
subservient agent and obetiient servant.
These are the men who do the " pipe lay

Senators. and Governors. and Presidents.
They weigh upon the people like the Old

about contracts the army must wait for
wagons until their doubles see fit to supply
them the blockade must wait for vessels
until i" things are made satisfactory to them.
Every effort of the public to shake of these
incubi has been unayaling. Ii fell back

These fellows have politically rs many lives

The storm has come. but the Harpies are not
