The BkOCKADING SERvICE.-N0 part Of
the military or naval service performed in
the prdeht war is perhaps more important
and ltsgzappreciated than that rendered by
our bleckading sanadrons The value of this
service is clearly seen only on the occasion
of the capture of some steamer off the South
ern coast richly laden Nith supplies and mu-
nitions of war foF the use of the insurgents.
But who shall estimate the number of such
contraband enterprises which onr fsets hays
deferred by their vigilance from ever risking
the perils1of attempting to g run the block
ade ~ A correspondent of the N. Y.
Times writes as follows of the difficulties at.
tending the successful blockade kept up by
the South Atlantic squadron
I'm comparison with this blockade all
others heretofore have been insignificant and
easy. Let me enumerate the points at each
of which the blockade mi ght be broken and
goods conveyed to the railroad which runs
through the States of Florida, Georgia, and
South Carolina. Commencing at George
town, South Carolina, the northernmost
sealed, we next have Bulls Bay, then
and Edisto and St. Helena Sounds. Port
Royal is the pe4t point and then comes, to
the southwark, Catalogue, Sybee, Warsaw.
Ossebaw, Doboy, and Sapone Sounds, and
Brunswick Bay, in Georgia and the ports
of Fernandina. Cumberland, st. Simon's, St.
Augustine, and others in Florida All these
ports and inlets are practically covered at
the cost of uatold anxiety and literally sleep
less vigilance on the part of Admiral Dupont
and the officers and seamen of his command"

The Military Art.

The following sensible and condensed
summary of the military art is taken from
the essay of Gen. Halleck. At the present
time it is worthy of careful perusal;
War has been defined Tie art Of organising
and mori,g military, forces, and is usually di-
yided into four distinct branches: Strategy,
Engineering, Logistics, and Taaties.
: Strategy is the arr Of direetiHs masses PIP
on decisive points or, in The words of Bu-
low, it embraces the hostile movements of
two armies, made beyond the view of each
ether, or-if it be prcferablc-beyond the
effect of cannon
Engineering embraces the disposition of
material obstacles to resist an attack, and
the means to be used to overcome these obsta-
cles in making an attack.
Lpqiytics embraces the means of transport
.lsisf-.sna Slrslv
Tactics is the art of bringin. tioors into
action, or of moving them in the presence Of
an enemy-that is, within his view, and
within reach Of his artillery.
We will illustrate these dtihitions by re-
ference to the present war. To determine
the general plan of the campaign-that is,
the point at which troops are 20 be assem-
bled, as at Fortress Monroe, Arlington, the
Ohio river, Cairo, st. Louis, etc., and the
lines upon which they are to move against
the enemy-belongs- TO strategy. The loca-
tion and construction of fortifcationr, batter
les, military bridges, the reconnaissance of
the aenemy' works, position and numbers,
and hs of communication, belong to
enginNFines The providing of means for
supplying and aaoying the troops so collected
belong to logistics.s And the manner of
bringing them into action or of maneuyering
them on the field of battle, belongs to tactics.
Thus, the sending of Patterson's column
against MartinsbHtg and Winchsstey, while
Mcdowell moved on Manassas Juhcticn, was
matter of strategy. So also the coneentya-
ton of the forces of johnson and Beauf0l
gard at Bull Pun was strategic movement.
Bit the dispositions made of the troops on
both sides for this battle, and the maneuvers
during this engagement, were all matters
belonging to tactics. The erecting Of batter
les, and other means to strengthen his posi-
ton, devised by Beauregard, and the exam
ination of these defenses, and the adoption of
means for overcoming these obstacles by Nc.
Dowell, were matters belonging to engineer
ing. And the means of supplying these ar
mics, and of transporting these supplies, be-
longed to logistics.

A JOAN D'ARc.-A marauding band of

ter Cornela. She resisted the outrage as
long as she could, but finding all her efforts
in vain, she sprang upon another horse, and
started post haste toward the town to give
the alarm. Her first animal gave out, when
she seized another, and meeting the messen-
from Middleton, she sent him, as fast as
his horse could carry him, to convey the ne
cessary warning to Mount Sizzling, where he
arrived most oRpsrtHEnely. Miss Oldom then
retraced her way toward home, taking with
her double barreled shot gun: She found
q pair Of saddle bags on the road belonging
to'a rebel officer, which contained pair of
revolvers, and soon she came up with the
rebels again. Perceiving that one Of the
thieves rode her horse, she ordered him to
surrender the animal this he refused, and
finding that persuasion would not gain her
ends, she leveled the shot gun at the rider,
commanded him, as Damon did the traveller,
down from his horse" ard threatened to
fire if he did not comply. Her indomitable
spirit at last prevailed, and Che robber, see-
ing something in her eye that bespoke ter
rible menace, resigned her favorite steed.-
When she had rsgained his back, and patted
him on the neck, he gave neigh of mingled
triumph and recognition, and she turned his
head homeward and cantered off as leisurely
as if she were taking her morning exercise.

FREAK OF NATURE-A story is told of an
apple tree planted over the grave of Roger
Williams to this effect: The tree had pushed
downward one of its main roots in sloping
direction, aud nearly straight course, toward
the precise spot that had been occupied by
the skull of Roger Williams there making
turn conforming with its circumference,
the root followed the direction of the back
bone to the hips, and thence divided into
two branches, each one following the leg
bone to the heel, where they both turned up
ward to the extremities of the toes Of the
skeleton. One of the roots formed a curve at
the part occupied by the knee joint, thus
producing an increased resemblance to the
outlines Of the skeleton, as if indeed, mould
"a thereto by the powers of vegetable life
This singularly formed root has been care
fully preserved, as constituting ttgt very inn
pressive exemplifcation Of the mode in which
the contents Of the grave had been entirely
absorbed.

A Generous CriminaI-A True story.

A young man recently made his escape
from the galleys at Toulouse. ie was strong
and vigorous, and soon made his way across
the country. and escaped. lie arrived nexl
morning before a cottage in an open field
and stopped to beg something to eat, and for
concealment while he reposed a little but
he found the inmates of the cottage in the
greatest distress. Four little children sat
trembling in the corner, the mother was
weeriug and tearing her hair, and the faith
er walked the floor in agony. The galley
slave asked what was the matter. and the
father replied that they were that morning
to be turned out of doors because they could
not pay the rent.
'' You see me driven 10 despair" said the
father. 8 My wife and little child, en- with
out food or shelter and | without means to
provide for them
Ths conyict listened to this tale with sym
pathy, and then said, twill give you the
means. VI have jrr. esStn c&fpeeafs al,
leys; whoever secures and takes oa. a.
escaped prisoner, is entitled to re. "a of
fifty francs. How much does your rent
amount to?''
g Forty francs," replied the father
"Well." said the other, pat a cord
around my body; | will follow you 10 the
oity tuey WIZ ItcoeiifAe Ihe-stnu you Will
get the Fifty francs for bringing me back
again
"No, never y exclaimed the asst nished
father, "my children shall starve dozen
times before | would do so base a thingKx
The generous young man insisted, and de,
clarsd at last, that he would go anfytve
himself up if the father would not consyht to
take him. After long struggle, tb5 rather
yielded, and taking his pressrvtr by the
arm, led him to the Mayors Office Every
body was surprised that littln man, like
the father, had been able tocapture such
stout young man, but the proof was before
them. The fifty frames ,kere paid, and tho
Lprisoner was sent backlto the galleys. But
6fter he was gone, the father asked private
interview of the Mayor, to whom he told
the whole ,parrative.
The Mayer was so much affected that he
not only added ffty more francs to the "a
ther's purse. but wrote Immediately to the
Minister of Jusfice,. begging the noble pris-
oner's release. The Minister examined in
to the affair, SAnd 'ftding that it was com:

POVERTY AND DEBr.-Poverty is bitter
draught, but may, and sometimes with ad-
vantage. be gulped down. Though the drink
er makes wry faces, there may, after all, be
wholesome goodness in the cup. But debt,
however courteously it be ofeTed, is the cup
of a siren, and the wine, spicy and delicious
though it be, an eating poison. The man
out of debt, though with a crack in his shoe
leather, and hole in his hat, is still the son
of liberty, free as the singing lark above him;
but the debtor, though clothed in the utmost
bravery, is no more than serf upon holi
day-a Slave, te be reclaimed at an instant
