Farced Marches.

In 1857 Frederick the Great marched
about 100 miles 90 days: and again. affcr
Rossbarh, little greater distance in -
DAYS, but lost 800 men through exhaus-
tion. In 1850, with 40, 600 mon and
]. 1.OOOwagons, he accomplished about 30
miles in 5 DAYS The same year the
Austrian General Lascy. with -, 900 men
''knocl1ed of" $50 miles III 10 days.
Prince Eugene, of Wurtemberg, to re
lieye Berlin, made q forced march on
the 4th of October. 1760, of 36 mil s /
day. This latter does not approach the
feat of the Sixth Corps-35 miles In 10
hours. 1t may remembered by many
of those who served with the Army OF
the Potomac that .Birney's FIRST (Rsd
Diamond division of the Third Corps
had won for themselves the nickname
of /" Birney's Foot Cavalry. and this
title was subsequently applied to the
Second Corps after the Third Corps was
combined with it. In regard to the
Third Corps, Army of the Potomac. the
writer feels that it deserves equal pre-
eminence with the Third Corps of the
French Army under Napoleon i'll the
campaign of 1906. OF the latter organi-
zation Marshal Davoust said TO Napol-
con during this, the Jena campaign,
when the Emperor expressed his ad-
niration of its achievements and hls
grief ut its heavy losses, " ; re, the
soldiers of the Third Corps, will ever be
to Won what the Tenth Legion was 10

Second Third Corps rivaied that Of
Oudinot's Grenadier's, in October, 1898,
when they actually outmarched cavalry,
accommodating II leagues day, and
contributed chiefly to the capture OF
the Austrian Archduke Ferdinands col
umn. which had escaped from Ulm. In
the pursuit of the Sixth Corps kept up
with the cavalry on the 6th-so says Col.
Archabald Hopkins, Thirty-seventh
Massachusetts Volunteers, In his account

Corps had likewise equaled the speed OF
the horsemen, prior to the concentration
