A Preacher turned Soldier.
The Cincinnati Gazette saws:

1t is already known that the Rev
Granville Moody has been repea tedly So
licited to enter the military field, and
for the time being to devote his entire
energies and ability in that direction.
And not until an almost universal ex-
preston Of opinion favored such step,
on the part of his warmest friends and
advisers, has he been able to make up
his mind that such was his duty. But
having been proffered the position of
Colonel of the Seventy fourth Regi-
, ment, at Camp Lowe, Nenia, Ohio, by
the unanimous vote of both the soldiers
and officers, and having been recon-
mcnded and urged by both the County
and Congressional Committees, as we'll
as by his elders in the church, together
with the repeated tenders of Governor
Dennison, he has concluded to accept
the appointment, with the condition that
Baron Van Schrader, Prussian officer
of a thorough military education, be ap-
pointed ON his staff as Lieutenant Colo
mel. Baron Van Schrader having served
in the Prussian army for some twenty
years, under the Duke of burgundy,
with the highest testimonials Of bravery
and efficiency as an officer, and having
been engaged in instructing and drilling
the officers and companies in the
ighteeuth and Seventy third Regi-
meuts, under Coils. Stanley and Smith,
his merits as thorough and accom-
plished taetician are conceded to be of
the highest military character
His claims are further acknowledge |,
by having been offered a position on the
staff Of Gen. McClernand, as also several
other places Of military preferment, in
dicating recognition of his superior
qualitications-but he has from the first
expressed desire and willingness to be
connected with Mr.. Moody, sheuld the
opportunity offer. We therefore con-
gratulate the public and the military
arm, that two men combining SO many
elements of success and ripened expe-
rience, will be united, in the one COM
mon cause Of defending and preserving
the integrity of our National Union. 1t
may be further added that the Seventy
fourth Regiment is favored with the un-
tiring energies and soldiery qualities Of
Major Ballard, who has already, by his
enlightened vigilance raised the Seventy
fourth to an enviable position, in all the
surrounding country. The camp and
garrison equipage are all on hand, in
Guiding the most approved Sibly tents,
and clothing of the first quality. Seve
raj fine companies can be organized from
the soldiers already upon the ground.
There is still ro om for persons, who wish
to unite themselves with regiment, form
ing under such favorable auspices. Be-
sides the body OF infantry, cavalry and
an artillery company are appended,
uniting altogether an army in miniature,
in the Seventy fourth Regiment. Amy
information touching the aboye, can be
had by corresponding with Robt. NJ.

Whisky.

One of the greatest curses attendant
on the present unhappy contest, in
which we are engaged, is the sale of in
toxieating drinks to our soldiers
While the secessionists, like willy assas-
sins, shoot down our sentries at every
occasion, killing our men by scores, the
more dangerous and infinitely meaner
enemy-the whisky seller-hangs upon
our camps and with his poisoned whisky
kills them by hundreds.
We are happy to see that many of
our officers are beginning to see this,
and are driving the vampires from their
camps. 1t would be happy thing for
our country if this utterly demoralizing
business was effectually stopped.

Still More Expeditions.

''Expeditionary forces are becoming
numerous. The country had hardly
finished its rejoicings over the success
of Commodore Dupont and General
Shcrman's expedition till the advance
Of another under General Butler had
been sent out; and now the New York
papers bring US the details of still
another, that seems likely yet to out
strip the proportions Of either OF the
former.
The military section of the new ex-
pedition is now assembling at Annapolis.
1t already numbers ten regiments-the
New York 51st and SD, Massachusetts
23d, 25th, 9th and 9th, Connecticut
eth and 10th, Penn ylvauia 1st, and 5th
Rhode Island Battery; and it is under
stood that before the sailing of the new
feet, the military forces will be augmen- :
ted to a number even greater than in
Gen. Sherman's army.
The expeditionary feet will consist in
part of the following vessels: Chasseur,
Zouave, Vidette, Pioneer, Sentinel,
Picket, Ranger, Guide, Recruit, Scout,
Lancer, Cossack, Skirmisher, Cadet,
Hussar, Eoltigeur, Guerrilla, High-
lander, Bombshell, Grenade, Rocket,
Shrapnel, Grapeshot.
A naval brigade is also to accompany
the expedition, composed of sailors to
operate in small boats to cover the land
ing of the troops and otherwise CO.
operate with either arm Of the service
as may be desirable. 1t will be COM
manded by Col VIM. A Howard, an
old officer of the navy, and late Captain
in the Revenue Marine.
Commander Samuel F. Hazard, U. S.
n, is understood to be the probable flag
officer of the feet. He entered the
navy in 1923, has been in service thirty
eight years, and was recently command
ing the Navy Yard at Boston.
Gen. Burnside, who has command of
the expedition, is native of Indiana
He graduated at West Point in 1S47,
served till 1853, when, as First Lieuten-
ant, he retired from the service. At
the outbreak of the rebellion he raised
a regiment in Rhode Island. At Bull
Run he was acting Brigadier General of
the Second Brigade of the Second Di-
vision, and won such credit there that
he was speedily promoted to be a
Brigadier General of volunteers
Brigadier- General J. G. Foster, of New
Hampshire, Captain in the regular
army is assigned to duty under Gen.
Burnside.
The expedition is being rapidly or
ganized, and is expected to sail in short
time. Its destination is of course only
a subject of conjecture.

Division of Virginia.

The Wheeling InteUtgencer, in antic-
ipation of the action cf the Convention
for forming the new State of Kanawha,
now in session in that city, has the fol-
lowing in regard to the reported changes
in the bounds of Virginia understood
to be in contemplation at Washington:
"There is very little doubt but our
action will be followed by large if not
a general disintegration Of the former
limits of this State. Our advices few
days age, were to the effect that Vir-
ginia, esat Of the Blue Ridge, would
probably be attached to the Western
division of Maryland; while Eastern
Maryland, and the counties of Accomac
and Northampton, would be added to
Delaware. The valley of Virginia
would be added to the new State to be
formed here at Wheeling. This is the
pro.rame announced in several of the
papers. as one of the fruits of Virginia's
participation in the rebellion.
"For our part, we can say that we
hope to escape the affection of being
united with the Yalley-notwithsta
ing the many loyal people that are
there, and the two or three loyal coun-
ties that have voted to 60 with US. The
greater portion of the Valley are as an
tagonistic to the West as erer was
the tide-water region. We want a ho-
mogeneous State Such we never could
have, united to the Valley. Negroes are
their staple. Theyare not ours. We
want to get clear of negroes. The Val
ley does not We want in a few years
to become Free State. The Valley
does not.
eff, however, the wish shall become
anyways general among the people of
the Valley, when this rebellion shall
have been put down, to join with US,
they can do so, by adopting the Free
State policy which the West will have
originated. In this way only, and with
this understanding only, would their ac-
cession be of any benefit. We do not
wish to be connected any longer with
the miserable one-idead negro policy
that has cursed US all the days of our
lives thus far"
