Use of the Bay0net.

Use OF the bayOn6Cs
'~HEADQUARTERs DEPT. OF THE SOUTH.
HILTON HEAD, PORT ROYAL, s. c.,
August Is, 1862.
GENERAL ORDERS No 26.--The Major
General Commanding desires to call the
attention of all regimental infantry officers
in this department to the paramount i'm,
portance of familiarizing their commands
with the manual of the bayonet. Our SOL
diers should be instructed in regard to the
proper use of this weapon as their greatest
assurance of safety and host certain means
of success in every struggle, The bayonet
should be constantly placed before them as
the defensive weapon of every battle; not
merely as useful accessory or means of
support to artillery, musketry and the sa~
bres of cavalry, but as the chief and final
arm of the service, to which all others are
subordinate. They should be taught that,
on the battle field, while irresolution and
inactivity will expose them to defamation
by repeated voleys from the rifles and other
firearms of the enemy, vigorous charge,
promptly executed and in good order, will
expose them but to one volley with imme-
date victory as its result. 1t is in bayonet
charges that the great physical So.
periority and higher intelligence of our
stalwart soldiers over the enemy can
make itself be felt. They should be
taught this truth - that with bay.
onets properly handled by obedient regi-
ments, we are invincible and their atten
ton should be strongly drawn to this other
fact, that bayonetters, except in isolated
cases, rarely come into actual collision
side possessing superior weight and disci-
pline, and which tushes forward determined
that nothing but death shall stop it, inva
riably breaking he morale of the enemy
before reaching them, and even diaordering
the one voley which the foe may fire, or
attempt to fire, before turning 10 fight. All
portions OF the bayonet exercises are im-
portant-~hot that men in actual conflict
can assume all the attitudes and perform all
the motions prescribed in The manual bu!
because the familiarity with the weapon
thus acquired, gives them confidence and
mastery in its use. Ii such hours ci drill
as the climate will permit, regimental in
fantgy officers will impress the truth
upon the men, in reference 10 the bay
onet charge, that "from tbs nettie danger,
we pluck the flower SAFETY" In all re-
views ard inspection @! troops hereafter to
be held, the Major Geae: a. commanding
will scrutinize, with special care, the pros
fciency OF al! infantry regiments, and regi.
me1's serving US infantry, iu the manual of
the bayonet.

The Proclamation of the Governor of
Kentucky.
FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. 81.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Aug. 81.
To the People Of Kentucky:
A crisis has arisen in the history of the
commonwealth which demands of every 10y
al citizen of Kentucky prompt and efficient
action. The State has been invaded by an
insoent foe, her honor insulted, her peace
disturbed and her integrity imperiled. The
small but gallant army raised upon the
emergency of the occasion for her defense,
under the brave and chivalric Nelson has
met with temporary reverse, and the enc
my is advancing for the accomplishment of
his purpose-the subjugat0n of the State.
He must be met and driven from our bor-
der, and it is in your power to do so. l
therefore, as governor of the commonwealth,
deem it MY duty to call upon every loyal
citizen of Kentucky to rally to the defense
of the State; not moment is to be lost. l
appeal to you as Kentuckians, as worthy
sons of those who rescued the dark and
bloody ground from savage barbarity, by
the memories of the past of your history,
and by the future of your fame. If you
are but true to yourselves, rise in the
majesty of your strength and drive the in~
sOlent invader OF your soil from your midst.
Now is the time for Kentuckians to defend
themselves. Each man must constitute
himself soldier, farm himself as b:st he can,
and meet the foe at every step of bis adj
vance. The day and the hour, the safety
of your homes and fresides patriotism and
duty, alike demand that you rush to the
rescue. l call upon the people, then, to rise
up as one man, and strike blow for the
defense of their native land, their property
and their homes. Rally to the standard,
wherever it may be nearest, place yourself
under the commanders, obey orders, trust
to your own right arm and the god Of bat
tie, and the foe will be driven back discom-
feited and aDnihilated. Toarms! to arms J!
and never lay them down till the Stars and
Stripes float in triumph throughout Ken.

moning you to the defense of your State,
and | am assured that it will be promptly
