Major Winthrop's advice to
volunteers on II e subject Of pro-
per care of the feet ought to be
pondered and remembered by
new recruits. 1t will be found
In his arti les on the New York
Seventh Regiment, published in
the Atlantic Monthly for June,
1861, which we publish below
for the Information of those con-
cerned:
A soldier needs besides his
soldiery drill.
/. Good feet.
2. A good stomach.
3. And after these, comes the
good head and the good heart.
But good feet are distinctly the
first thing, without them you
cannot get to your duty. If a
comrade, or a horse or a locomo-
tive takes you on its back to the
field, you are perfectly useless
there. And when the field is
lost you cannot retire, run away,
and thus save your bacon.
Good shoes and plenty of
walking make good feet. A
man who rretends to belong to
an infantry company, ough; al
ways keep himself in training, so
that any moment he can marcn
twenty or thirty miles without
feeling a pang or raising a, bis

the defamation of the army

WILLIAMSBURG, May s, via WASHINGTON,
May 9.-The details of the engagement OF
Monday are so voluminouS and incorrect, that
it will be necessary to await the report of Gen.
Mcclellan, which is now being prepared. De
serters from the enemy are hourly coming in.
Gen. Jameson has been appointed military
governor and provost marshal of the town.
The official report of the killed and wounded
being too lengthy to send over the military
telegraph, it has been forwarded by mail. The
expedition up York river has been most sue
cessful, and we now occupy West Point.
Heavy firing has been heard in that direction,
but the particulars are not known. The main
body of the enemy have rereated across the
James river. The general impression with
military men is, that the rebels have made
their last stand in Virginia. For distance OF
some ten miles beyond Williamsburg, the road
is lined with broken army wagons in the re-
treat Of the enemy.

Chicago, May "a special dispatch from
Cairo to the Times, says, arrivals to-day from
Pittsburg, state that the rebels were attacked
by Gen. Grant on Wednesday, few miles
west of Corinth. Their line was constantly
falling back, though in perfect order. The
result of this engagement, appears in the rap
id movement of the rebels by their right flank
to the south east, thus surrendering the line
of the Memphis and Charleston railroad and
taking up position in force on the Mobile &
Ohio raildroad south of Corinth.
This movement, together with the reports
of disasters, indicates that the whole rebel
force will be withdrawn as rapidly as possible
to Columbus, So miles south of Corinth. At
this point the confederates have extensive
works for the manufacture of ordnance.
