How Cavalry Cover A Retreat.

1t is in just such aretreat as Hoods army
has lately accomplished that compact and
powerful body OF cavalry, like that of For
rest's is able to render its best service in pro-
tecting the rear. To this able cavalry leader,
Hood is indebted for every man and every box
OF cartridge he has succeeded in getting over
the Tennessee. Hovering continually in the
rear and upon the flanks, the cavalry select
such places as are most eligible for defence,
GENERALLY slight ridge, and, if possible, just
In the, edge OF piece OF woods, and there
make stand and throw up hasty barIicades.
These are usually constructed OF ordinary
rail fences, by tearing down those lines that
run parallel to the road, and leaving the rails
upon lines that cross it, with the upper points
toward the enemy. Directly in the road, or
close by the side of it, is usually planted a
piece or two of artillery, raking a column that
may presume to approach. Behind these
slight detences three out of four of the men
are posted, while the fourth holds the horses
at a safe distance to the rear. s9a
\ The enemy dismount, make the same dispo.
sition OF their horses, advance more or less
rapidly to the assault. When the party on
the defensive have as their object simply to
gain time, they resist as long as they can dc
so, and yet regain their horses and escape in
safety. Sometimes the pursuers mike head
long charge, if the works are slight, mounted
aud capture part of the enemys men before
they can mount. 4
On the part Of the pursued party, this i:
called sacrificing the skirmish line" and fire.
rduently it is their only resort to keep the pur
suers in check sufficient length of time. The
skirmishers know the risk they run, and ac
cept it understandingly. An opposing bate
ry or section is always ready to wheel into po
sition and engage the attention of the retreat
ing guns; and these, too, frequently delay q
few minutes too long, or are overwhelmed ir
sudden onset and captured.
When body of infantry is about to evacu-
ate fortified position, the ill-starred cavalry
has again to perform the last act of the dra-
mas. With as little commotion and noise as
possible, they advance dismounted, and re-
lieve the infantry skirmish line, which quietly
drops back to the main line, and the whole
body moves off to the rear. As soon as they
have attained sufficient distance to insure
their escape, the troopers begin to craw
stealthily back toward their horses, which
they mount and ride away as rapidly as they
may.-These movements often catch the quicl
eyes and ears of the enemy, and, suspecting
the design, they charge on the unfortunate
cavalrymen and take them as they run.

Heading OF n LAWYER

Rufus Choate, in an important ma.
vine assault and battery at sea case
had Dick Barton, Chief mate of the
clipper ship Challenge, on the stand,
and bndgercd him so for about an
hour, that at last Dick got his salt
water up, and hauled by the wind to
bring the keen Boston lawyer under
his batteries.
At the beginning of his tetimony
Dick had said that the night was
clark as the devil, and raining like
seven bells"
Suddenly Mr.. Choatc asked hun :
WAS there moon that nlght?'
"Yes, sir"
"Ah, yes A moon"
"Yes, full moon,"
"Did you see it p
mot a mite"
"Then how do you know there was
moon?"
Nautical almanac said so, and I'll
believe that sooner'n any lawyer III
this world"
"What was the principal luminary
that night, sir ?"
"Binnacle lamp on board the Chal-
lenge."
"Ah--you arc growing sharp, Mr.,
Barton" ..
"What in blazcs have you been
grinding me this hour for-to make
me dullr'
abe civil, sir And now tell me
what latitude and longitude you cross
ed the equator in"
"Sho, you're joking"
"No, sir! am in earnest, and ]
desire you to answer me-"
81 shan't,"
"Ah--you refuse to answer do
your
"Yes-I can't"
"Indeed! You are chief mate OF
a clipper ship, and unable to answer
so simple question"
"fes, It's the simplest question |
ever had asked me in my life. Why,
thought every fool OF lawyer
knew there amt no latitude on tho
equator,

of smell Is lessened or destroyed; deafness

his throat in the morning of thick or slimy
mucous, which has fallen from the head dur
ing the night. Whom this takes place, the

soldiers, who have recently been released, are
daily arriving at Charlotte, many of them sick
and are entirely dependent upon. the kind Offices
of the Federal officers and soldiers for sustenance.
We invite attention to the matter, AND solicit con-
,rbutons of fruits and vegetables which are so
grateful to the invalid at this season of the year.
If a relief committe were organized and would
attend at the Depot the arrival of the evening
train and distribute vegetables and fruit, it would
prevent suffering We would also suggest to
those who have vegetables and fruit to spare, to
send something of thekind to the Hospitals for
the benefit of both the Federal and Confederate
sick soldiers. Let something be done to relieve
the suffering and wants of all who are sick or
wounded.
