cited so much interest
His father is well known throughout the late
United States, f0rmeiy as Professor Lea. Al

army. His mother was Miss Shoemaker, Of
Philadelphia, but brought up in Maryland, By
her sister, Mrs. Tnghman, mother Of General
Lloyd Tilghmsn. He was born ia Baltimore,

respected By 81 grades, aud much loved by his
men, who felt themselves sheltered under his
strict but kind rule.
At Annapolis he vas trained for the service Of
the United States government, and as a sailor,
nearly always aboard, he saw not the State
lines, but londiy worshipped the Tag of the
Uaion. This over fondnsss caused him, under

THE ARMY.
The military operations for the yesr 1862 are
confined 10 those Of the Mexican expedition.
The necessary orders were issued as far back as
the 9th Of November, 1861, and the army of
Africa had the honor of furnishing the FIRST
troops DESIGNATED for this distant war. The ex-
pedidoDarY corps, at the first under the COM
msnd-of General Count De Lareneez, with an
effective strength of $500 men and 1900 horses
and mules, has since received considerable rein.

5000 horses, and forming two divisions Of in
fantry and q brigade of cavalry, placed By his
msjesty's decree Of 7th July, 1862, under the
command Of the general Of division, Foray.
Difficulties arising from the climate, sanitary
causes, and the impossible state of the country
during the rainy season. paralyzed the action Of
our troops at the outset, but the situation has
already been profoundly modified. For the ali
mentstion of the expeditionaTy corps a tempo
rary recourse has bean had TO tie administration
of the marine; At the present time the military
intendanes OF the army insures o supply Of pre-
visions sent from Europe and from the different

Of the Mexieaa climate; the zeal of cur military
surgeons has not relaxed ia tho presence of

By deducting 10000 men of tbs classes of 1856,

Department, Jackson. Mississippi.
In company with Captain john TRAVIS, the
inventor, we yesterday visited the establish
ment of Br. LEMON in this city. for the pur-
pose Of inspecting this new gun, just completed
aud placed on wheels. The invention consists
Of TWO ligbt bass pieces, weighing n~inety-fve
pounds each, one rhed and the other q smooth
bors, which are fixed upon a light caFrisge
drawn by one horse They sre breeehloading,
the rife throwing twenty solid shot per minute
and the smooth bore I've hundred mus

other merit Of the gun consists in the fact, that
owing to its Light weight, 1t can be taken to
places inaccessible to heavier pieces, and if nee
essary can be detached from the wheels and
carried either on mule back or by the soldier
himself to any desired point on the mountain
