81 "A NEW BRANCH OF THE SERvICE.-The sporting
Colonel knownin the Italian war as Garibaldi's
3FnrIishman, was accustomed to charge his troops
to wound an enemy if possible rather than kill
him outright 90 for says he, 1T takes four good
soldiers to carry one wounded man from the field,
and consequently, five from your antagonists
force.n Now, no one will for a moment suppose
men will stop in the heat Of battle to notice where
thew are going to hit foe; still, it Is apparent to
any one who has witnessed great battle, that, SO
far as results are concereed there is truth IN the
above remark. %
nv him to the rear, and another bears off the five
nuskets. Half dozen wounded men will FREE
quently break up an entire company, and it Is
with the greatest difficulty its members can be
brought together again to operate in a body. To
II medy this evil and at the same time to provide
efectually for the wounded many Of the European
armies have tsfnfirmary Companies attached,
whose special duty.itis to attend TO the wounded
during battle, to bear them to the hospital, to
staunch the Aflow Of blood when it is profuse and
dangerous, and to render snch assistance on the
field as becomes necessary to preserve life or re-
i ieye pain ~ VI && &
The army of Bavaria has two of these companies,
maintained at a1rexpense of nearly two millions
sforins per annum The corps is stationed q short
distance in the rear of the line of battle, each man
carrying al few simple Instruments, canteens of
wine and water,.ro of bandage, sponge and char
pie. They have the general charge Of the ambu-
lancse stretchers, medical and dispensary stores.
In Europe during peace, these men are allowed to
attend medical lectures, and to receive clinical in
struetion in the hospitals. y f4s W &
There can be no doubt those two companies
vastly augment the effective strength of the
Baravian army, and that they are the means Of
preserving many valuable lives. Being strongly
prejudiced in favor of Inffrmary Companies, we
are gratiffed to learn that steps have been taken
to- establish them in connection with our army,
and that the Secretary Of War has granted per
mission to enlist one hundred men for that pur-
pose. This brancho the service, although novel
in America, will undoubtedly prove as useful as in
