EEoyv Men Act Ins Battle.

A letter from soldier makes the follow
ing interesting comments on the manner in
which battles are fought, and explaining
why it is that terrible conflict. Of perhaps
hours in duration, there should be so small
a proportion Of killed and wounded:
If you were never in battle you would
not guess there were half the random shots
fired that there arc. Why, sir, | have seen
whole regiments and brigade3 deliver their
fire when | was sure that they did not wound
even single man. Such firing, besides the
wasting of ammunition, does not intimidate
the enemy at all; on the other hand it makes
them feel that there is but little danger con
sequently he is more bold, and delivers his
fire more accurately Besides, if men are
allowed to make these random discharges it
seems to become a habit, and they become
so excited at it that they would oftener miss
a man at ten PAGES than they would hit him
Just in that way battles are often lost. while
the company commander, if he would only
stop ii and tell them that they were doing
no good they would soon become collected
and after they once knew their folly would
of their own accord fire deliberately and
probably save the day after it had been COM
paratively lost.
commanders charging around with their
swords fourishing above their heads, cry
ing ont. give it to them, boys, give it to
them!" manifesting in themselves and crea-
ting in others, all the excitement possible
Now second thought would show their bet
ter Judgment, they are doing more harm
than good, for men become 50 excited under
such circumstances that they would miss an
elephant at ten steps. You often see the
above clustering around when the enemy are,
at least, a distance of one thousand yards off,
and to hear the roar of musketiy and the
excited commanders, you would soon think
they would come to hand TO hand contest
What is it that excites man in battle P
Why, it is the danger. If you shoot at a
man once, he is very much excited; shot at
a man hundred times and miss him, and
all his fear and excitement is gone; but re-
serve your fire until you can do some cxecu-
ton, and when they come, fire into them.
cut his clothes, wound his neighbor kill the
second man from him, and let him see it,
and the day will be won.

The fact is, that there is shoal of Office

men who, in as mean a spirit as could pos

A!ttr the retirement of Fremont, I was

Presently.

Never say you will do presently what your
reason or your conscience tells you you should
do notc. No man ever shaped his own des-
tiny, or the destinies of others, wisely and
WE'LL who dealt much in presently. Look at
Nature. If she never hurries, she never
postpones. When the time arrives for the
buds to open, they open-for the leaves to
fall, they fall. Look upward The shining
worlds never put off their rising or their
setting. The comets even, erratic as they
are, keep their appointments, and eclipses
are always punctual to the minute. There
are no delays in any Of the movements of
the universe which have been predetermin
ed by the absolute fat of the Creator. Man.
however, being free agent, can postpone
the performance of his duty; and does so,
too, frequently TO his own destruction. The
drafts drawn by Incidence upon the future
are pretty sure to be dishonored. Make
now your banker Do not say you will econ
omize presently, for presently you may be
bankrupt; nor that you will repent or make
atonement presently, for presently you may
be judged. Bear in mind the impartont
fact taught alike by the history of nations,
rulers, and private, individuals, than in at
least three casos out Of FIVE preses,y is too
late

A PRAYER FOR PEACE.

Our sky's 1crspread with gloomy clouds,
Our sun his light
Has hid. The stars grow dim which lumcCi
Oar bannors bright,
Oar hearts are worn with bitter grief, ,..
oar eyes with tears
Grow dim. All bitterly we weep
Yet no ono hears.
To Thee, Great Cod We lift our hearts,
70 Thee We G-T;
Ta0u wilt not t}irl away from Us,
Nor scn-n tho sign ..-..,
or many hearts bowed down with grlct,
And pain and care;
Thou will not soorn oul' simple prayer,
Oh, Thou wilt hear!
Owe Thou US peace, Almighty God,
Oh! givo US peace;
E1nG low Thine ear and hear our prayer,
And grant rel ease
1Hro,n this dark cloud that shrouds our heart
IL fear and gloom,
Stretch forth Thy mighty arm and stay
The threat'nin5 doom.
Honr Thou, Oh, God tho mothers weil
For her first born,
Who now, in f,acy, she beholds
Bleeding and torn,
Upon TIE bloody bHtt!e ground,
All c,eiing Ger .-
With blood of these whom, they have loved
Ia days OF yora
Tsar Thou Oh, God! in mercy hear
The widow $ moan,
The az phau's crT Tor broad. Do Thou
Avert the deem.
FaRIer, none but Thine arm us can rolease,
Put forth Thy mighty power, Q, God!
And give us Peace. . . ,
