A Line of Battle.

You often read about line of battle, and
dare say, think that the two armies stand
in two lines, but it is not so. Tho army IL
divided up into divisions. They are posted
in position, or in commanding pIaccs-,bat
is on hills, or in WOODS, or on tho banks o.
streams, in places where they will be best
able to resist or attack the enemy. The di.
visions are usually placed where they can
support each other You can understand q
line OF battle pretty we'll, by imagining o
regiment here on 4 hill, another down in q
valley, u third In piece OF wood, with artil
lery and cavalry plsced in the best positions
II you want to make it more real. when you
are out in the fields or pastures. with the
hills all around. just imagine that the enemy
is over on yOnder bill, with ton thousand
mon and twenty pieces OF artillery. Yor
are general, aud have an equal numbor.-
The enemy will como down that road spread
out into the field, or creep Up through the
wood, and attsck you.
You can't exactly tell how many. men hC
will send on the right, or how many on thu
center; so you must arrange your forces tt
support each other. Then. TO shift, yor
are 20 attack him. You don't know how hil
troops are arranged, for be keeps them con
ceAlod as we'll as he can. You d0n't WanI
many Of your men killed. but do want Il
win victory. Now there is chance Il
try your skill a. planning line of battle.--
You must place your artillery where It will
do the most damage, and receive the leas
from the enemy. You must move your in
fantry so that they sill not bo cut of by thu
enemy before tney get near enough TO Gu
them up In roturn. You see that Il is NJ
small sbiDg TO be a General. These ar,
great responsibilities. -Erchdnge.

The Rebel Defences of New Orleans.

The Mississippi is fortified so as to be im-
passable for any hostile fleet or flotilla.
Forts Jackson aud St. Philip are armed with
40 heavy guns (63 Founders, rihed by
rkley Britton, and received from Eng
land) The navigation Of the river is stopped
by q dam of about quarter of a mile from
the above forts. No hotilla on earth would
force that dam in less than two hours,
during which It would be within shot and
cross range of 40 guns of the heaviest
calibre, many of which would be served with
red hot shot, numerous furnaces for which
have been erected in every fort and battery.
In a day or two we shall have ready two
iron. .cased floating batteries. The plates
are four and half inches thick. of the best
hammered iron. received from England and
France. Each iron cased battery will mount
twonty 6S Founders, placed so as to skim
the water, and striking the enemy's hull te-
tween wind and water. We have an alund-
ant supply of incendiary shells, cupalo fur
naces for molten iron, congreye rockets,
aud FIRE. ships.
Between New Orleans and the forts there
is constant succession Of earthworks. At
tbs Plain of Chalmette, near Janin's prop
erty, there are Tedoubts, armed with rihed
cannon, which have beer found 10 be effect

In forts st. Philip and Jackson there are
5000 men, of whom good portion are ex-
perienced artillery men and gunners who
have served in the navy.
! At New Orleans itself VIC have $4,000
infantry, and as many more quartered in
the immediate neigbborhood. In discipline
and drill they are far superior TO the Yam
KEGS. We have two very able and active
generals. who possess our entire confidence.
Generals. Mansfield Lowell, and Brigadier
General Rugges. For Commodore we have
Hollins, Nelson in his way.
We are ready to give the Yankees hot
reception when they come. Our only fear
is that the Northern invaders may not sp-
pear. We have made such extensive prep
arations to receive them that it were vexa-
atious if their inyincible armada escapes the
fate we have in store for it.-.Neto Orleans

Gen. Mcclellan,


Gen. Mcclellan.
FRIEND CONVERSE: .....
While Gen Mcclellan is assailed on evcry
hand, as coward and man unfit for the
place he occupies. permit me. through your
columns. though an humble farmer, to say
word ia bis dofenso. There is class of
men who think that what constitu utes great
General is his bravery upon the field of bat
tie; that to ride at full speed upon an enc.
my, with his sword above his head, while
thousands fall upon every hand, is q mark
of great genoralship; while, in reality, it is
great General who will force an enemy to
give up point without battle. Had Nc.
Clellau attacked Manassas, and after slaugh-
tering 900 of the enemy, and losing 1000
of our men, succeeded in driving the enemy
from their stronghold, We should have
thought that We had gained great victory
but be has gained greater one by taking i,
without firing gun. The splendid manner
in which tho Army of the Potomac hat
been organized, and the general manage
ment of the campaign since the retiremen,
of Gen. Scott, speak high of his military
character Our armies have all been under
bis supervision, and the uniformity with
which they have all closed in upon the
Rebels at the same time, shows military GO
MUS OF the first order. And none but those
who are disposed to find fault, lo, who viii
bo at tho helm, will attempt to rob Gen
Mcclellan of the credit he SO richly merits
I believe that tho people will yot sec tha
he is the right man in tho right place.
If our faut.fnders did but know it, the,
are not only giving strength to the enemy
bu. are weakening the great arm of tb'
Union. To such let me say, bave faith il
God and Gen. Mcclellan, and pray that
when our armies shall meet the enemy il
manly combat upon the fold of battle, thoi
patriotism may not fail them in the tryip
hour, but that they may there strike blo'
that will toll for freedom one that the bis
tolian shall record on his brightest page
there to bo read by unborn millions, Will
+ countless ages are rolling on.
