The Food Of the Soldiers.

The government furnishes liberal supplies
for the food Of the soldiers. and paws prices
that should procure bread and meat of the
best quality and in abundance. If the SOL
der, are kept on short rations, and fed on
decayed beef or sour and mouldy bread,there
is inefficiency or dishonesty somewhere
There is no office in which honesty and ener-
gy are so indispensable as in that of quarter
master. The reports ofthe sanitary commits
sion show that bad food is prolific cause Of
sickness in the army. This is an evil that
ought to be remedied. The government is
soon to have an army twice as large as tha,
of last year, but million soldiers poorly fed
will be no more efficient than half that num-
Der who are keep in good condition by obey
ing the laws of health. The State govern
ments have duty to perform in this matter
| They should see to it that their soldiers art
not abused by dishonest commissariat.-
There is no abuse worse than this in IFS con
sequences. Our volunteers are willing tC
bear the necessary hardships and self-denial:
of the service, but they are not willing, ant
should not be, to be robbed in their needfu
daily food by the men who stand between
them and the government. 1t would be /;
good thing if each State executive would EN-
ploy trustworthy agents to visit suecessirel.
and frequently all its regiments in the ser
vice, and see to it that they are fairly deal
with, and that the men are not disabled b,
unwholesome or inefficient food.-Springfel

Gap, for the purpose Of destroying or cap:ur'

charge was promptly obeyed. After short
but severe struggle the enemy broke in great
disorder, some taking to the woods, but the
principal part going through the Gap. Their
horses were fresh and could not be overta-

Tns Lxrs SonBaxr BA1fIr.-The battle,
unlike the most Of the war. grows larger the
more that 10 known Of Il. One hundred and
ninety-two dead bodies Of the rsbsls we're buried
up to Tuesday night, and they we're still found
thick in the woods. Il was first Supposed that
the forces engaged were about equal, but it 10
now known that the enemy outnpmbered US two
to one. The regiments under Gen. Thomas's
command at the time Of the fight, were the 10th
Indiana, 4th and 18th Kentucky, "a Minnesota,
9th and 14th Ohio, and let and I'd East Tennee-
see regiments. These eight regiments could not
bring ct the utmost over six thousand men into
the field. and OF these only about one half were
actually engaged Ia tie combat. The consoli.
dated morning report of the troops At Mill
Spring last Friday has been found. Crittenden
had under him at that time, and there, one
thousand three hundred and twenty-five men
sick, and fourteen thousand two hundred and
six men fit for duty And by papers found on
the person Of Gen. ZoIllco6er, il appears that
two new regiments reported for duty at Mill
Spring on Saturday, the 18th. The testimony
Of all the intelligent prisoners whom we took ID
to the effect that the whole force moved from
their camp to the attack on Sunday, except
small guardon the north side, and "White's old
regiment" shattered and demofalized body of
men on the south side Of the river. Not less
than fifteen thousand men marched out to give
battle, as they supposed, to three regiments Of
Union troops.
It must not be thought, however, that this
large force was at all available to Crittenden.-
great proportion of it, perhaps one half, was
the raw, drafted levies Of two months men,
lately raised in Tennessee. They have been
coming to CritteI den in squads Of from one to
five hundred for weeks. Just organized into
regiments, and armed principally with shot guns,
they could not be supposed to add much to the
strength Of the rebel army, and in case of such
panic as occurred, we're an element of posi-.
tive weakness. And they were even further
useless because they had no hearts for fight
against the Union One Of them coming near
our lines, rushed across to US, exclaiming II am

firing on his late comrades! We understand
that there were about 10, 600 of such troops at

The BRODERIcK WILL CAs.-A late San Fran.
cisco telegram mentions the fact that Judge
Hogan has issued an injunction restraining the
sale Of the Broderick estate, until the question
of forgery of the will is investigated. It will
be remembered that in January, 1850, after
the death Of Frederick, will was said to have
been found by Mr.. A. ]. Butler among Mr..
Broderick's papers at Washington. This will
purports to have been executed at New York
on the I'd Of January, 1859. It is written on
small sized letter paper, the signature within
two lines Of the top Of the I'd page, the seal
red wafer with an irregular diamond shaped
paper Impressed with common stamp. The
subscribing Witnesses are A. A. Phillips and
John J. Hoff; the legatees are John A. McGleim,
BIC, 0O0-"the rest, residue and remainder, to
my friend Geo. Wilkea" The lawful heirs Of the
estate, cousins Of Mr.. Broderick, reside in Ire
land, but have now representatives in San Fran.

Some of the aiidavits published by the San
Francisco papers, and which are TO be put in
court at the proper time, would indicate that
there were, to say the least, good many sus.
picious facts connected with the making and
discovery Of this will, and it looks now very

would reveal facts not particularly creditable

A pamphlet has just appeared in Paris with
the title ''The American Union and Europe y
1t is signed by Nj. Renouf. He argues that the
war between North and South is not war for
abolition, and consequently that great senti-
ment ought not to affect political action or the
sympathies of mankind. They should remem-
her only that the Union has repeatedly extend
ed itself, that its statesmen claim the whole cor
tinent, and that federal republic can absorb
all races He, therefore, suggests that as the
war is not one of abolition, as the political IN
ion involved great political danger, as the con-
test embarrasses France and as England must
commence campaign, England and France
united should guaranty to the South her inde-
pendence on condition of emancipation.
