Three hundred and eleven sick soldiers
arrived and were placed in hospital yes

the troops which came up on the ACity of
Memphis. About 200 have been placed
10 the Medical College. which is used in
connection with the Estes House for the
Hospital at this post. We will furnish a
list Of names in tomorrow's issue.

the soil of e''ery State, from the Delaware
to the Rio Grande. Thousands upon thous-
ands pine with fostering wounds and ftfll
fevers in Northern hospitals. We are ia
the middle of the summer solstice. Our
unacclimated troops faint and die under the
tervid sun of the South. We have scarcely
approached the home and heart of the re-
bellion. We have but touched its borders
IN the malignant Cotton States. Why is
the existence of the Republic thus endau-
gered, and why have we not been more sue
cessful 10. rescuing it from peril The AL
mighty has controversy with this nation,
The cry of 1000, 600 of slaves has acanded
to the Throne Of the Eternal The contest
ProPhecied by Jefferson, in which the AL
mighty had nc attribute that could side
with the oppressors, is upon us. All the
plaques that tortured Egypt for its crimes
against humanity, are being rained down
upon us IN this desolating war. The thun-
derbolts Of Divine retribltion are shifting
aud soaring the pillars of our institutions.
1t Is for us to determine whether our Gov
ernn ent shall endure, or be crushed into a
shapeless ruin. II we blind our eyes 10 the
b-ackening clouds that cover the horizon,
tne avenglng hour draws nigh. But If we
turn our hearts unto mercy, and do works
meet for repentance, the terrible judgments
that impend over us shall pass away. God
grant that the temple of freedom. erected
with so much toll, and consecrated with go
much affection by cur ancestors, may sur
We the commissions that threaten its de-
struction. May its towering walls shelter
US and our children, and our children's chill
dren, even to the latest generation. Through
coming time may it stand among the na-
tions the brightest exemplar of institutions,
founded upon justice tempered with bu-
manity, regulated by law, and crowned
with liberty. Loud applause.

Outrage asa ESentHcky.

The heart siekens at the recital Of the wrongs
which the Yankee Usurpers are i~uficting upou
the loyal citizens of tie South. One of the
grossest outrsges of which we have yet been in
formed, was recently perpetrated upon an ntlu-
ential and prominent citizen of Wayne county,
Kentucky. From a letter received yesterday by
Hon Mr.. Chismsn, OF that State. we are per
mittsd TO make the following extract
The Yankees the other day gave James Bel
cher tweuty-eight lashes for going into their
camp after his runaway negro"
Mr. Chisman informs US that Mr.. Belcher WAS
recently a member of the State Legislature, and
that socially he stands as high as any man in
the county Of Wayne. This is another evidence
Of Whist we may expect if we bow our necks to

Economy Iu thc distribution Of Arms.
The Richmond ERquirsr is indebted to q dis
tuguisLed officer ia Tue army Tor the following
suggestions
The number OF men in every regiment who
will atauy time be found on the sick list, OF on
detailed duty, will at the lowest estimate, be ten
per cent A regiment consisting of a thousand
soldiers, cannot be hoped to carry more than
nine hundred into a fight.
1t follows that If the number of men in a
regiment be the same as tie number of mUskets,
Cne-tenth Of the latter will be constantly unem-
ployed- In an infantry force of thirty thousand
men, there would thus be three thousand idle
muskets, often twice enough to decide the fate
Of an important battle.
The above estimate places the percentages OF
sick and details at much below Whist it frequent
ly is. and probably below the average.
As arms are not abundant with Us, would it
not be well % add to the usual complement of
each regiment a number of soldiers sufficient to
cover the estimate for the sick and necessary de
tails, so that every mUsket shall always have a
well man TO handle il This would add, as we
have seen, az least 0HeteHth to our strength in
battle. Shot guns, either single or double-bar-
relied, might also be used in many cases Of guard
3uty-such as guarding baggage, or prisoners.

number Of muskets OF rifles.
We hope the subject will receive the consid-

pairing casualties and discharges, and with

road company about the possession Of the land

from one court to another until il finally reached
