were told that in Mobile the Houstons
executed "from single rank" and dressed
to the point Of rest as prescribed by
Upton. Here they executed it dressing
to the opposite flank, their reason being
the difference Of opinion in the two
boards Of judges. Such fragrant op-
position to the tactics seems to be mex
cuSable.
There are rumors that the next inter
State drill will take place Mt Chicago
this fall, and that the fist prize will be
forty thousand dollars. That such an
amount should be offered seems improb-
|ablc Mt the first glance, but to those who
| witnessed the enthusiasm and excite
mcnt attending the New Orleans contest
nothing seems too cxtravayant to antici-
pate.
1t is probable that hereafter cadet
companies will be allowed in the field.
Heretofore they have been excluded as
inferior organizations, but the judges at
New Orleans in their report mention
the South Carolina and Tuscaloosa
companies rs competent to compete on
any field.
The following psints in tactics were
regarded as doubtful in the late drill,
most of which seem to be clearly eX-
planned in the tactics
l. In forming single or double rank
to which flank il the dress? Fully cx-
planned in Upton.
2. In forming twos or fours from
column Of files, single rank, is there n
halt, or is the movement executed as
forming fours from tvos in double
rank
8. at trail arms it was held that four
| fingers were around the piece.
4. In "securc arms' some companies
turned the toe Of the piece to the right
and others to the left.
5. 1t was held that in firing lying
down the head might or might not be
lowered, Common sense and observa-
ton tell military men, however. that
the head should be up in order that
troops may see what is going on in
front.)
6. At open boxes, the left hand may
be held either Mt the right shoulder or at
the muzzlc Of the piece, thus STEADY
ing the piece at the shoulder" as pre-
scribed.
Z. Some Of the companies, when load
ing and firing by the numbers, kept up
the numbers after the first fire.
g. The fire lying down, reduced to
firing by file, was the file firing intended
and no other? All companies, but
one, tried to execute vollcy firing at
command commence firing II.

THE following story of Gen. Bragg is
very Characteristic OF that officer. On
n occasion, when stationed at a post
Of several companies, commanded by a
field officer, he was himself commanding
one of the companies, and at the same
time acting post quartermaster and com
missary, He was first lieutenant at the
time, but his captain was detailed on
other duty. As commander of the com
pany he made a requisition upon the
quartermaster - himself-for something
he wanted. As quartormaster he declined
10 fill the rcquisition. aud indorsed on the
back Of it his reason for so doing. As
company commander he responded to
this, urging that his requisitiou called for
nothing but what he was entitled to, aud
that it vas the duty of the quartermaster
10 fill IT, The quartermaster still per
sisted that he was right. In this condi
ton Of affairs Bragg referred the whole
matter to the commanding officer The
latter, when he saw the nature ofthc mat.
ter referred, exclaimed. MY God, MIR
Bragg, you have quarrelled with every
officer in the army and now you are
quarrelling with yourself

The oflolal Slate OF the L, d. s 5. Road.

The Official Slate of the L., ID. s. s. Road.
President Hammond, of the Indianapolis, De-
catur & Springfield road says that in the reor-
ganization of the official roster he intends to get
first class railroad talent, and men who are ag-
gressive. A portion Of the official slate has al
ready been practically made out George
Bender, now superintendent of the Kentucky
Central road, has been offered the position of
general superintendent, and the Journal has
good reason for saying that he will accept it.
Mr.. Bender is frst-class railroad man in
every respect, and he commenced on the bottom
round on the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, ST. Louis
q Chicago road. He is very competent
train master, telegraph operator, and good on
statistical work; is popular with men under him,
and withal a very economical manager. AS Mr..
Hammond does not this time intend to have the
road top heavy, he will combine the position of
general ticket and general freight agent in one
man, and j. ). Lazarus, who now represents the
Merchants Dispatch and the Midland fast
freight line, at Denver Col, has been offered the
position, and it is understood will accept it. Mr.
Lazarus is well known in this section, and has
not lazy bone in him, as the saying u.s.
When on the /. q St l.. road he showed a prone
ness to cut rates, but it is said that with age he
has outgrown this propensity. If this be true,
ii is good selection. Doubtless competitors of
the l., ID. d 5. would rather see man of less
snap" In charge of these departments j. V.
McNeal, the old standby, is to be assistant to
President Hammond and auditor. which posi-
tons he is fully competent to fill Who will be the
roadmaster and master mechanic is not yet de-
cided

Freight business still Heavy.

The train records show that there were re-
ceIved and forwarded at Indianapolis over the
fifteen roads last week 1868 loaded cars, but
ITO less than in the week ending March Z. This
is the more gratifying from the fact that the
heavy business done in that week was said to be
delayed freights going forward. What is still
more favorable is that could cars have been COM
manded the eastrbound business would have
been several hundred cars additional, and should
there, the coming week, be falling
off in the shipments it will be for
want of cars, not owing to scarcity of freight
In fact with the L., b. e W., the c., l., st. L. 81
c., the l. 81 ST. L. and the Vandalia. the volume
of traffic has been governed wholly by the cars
which could be obtained. With two roads, east
bound shipments are as heavy as can be comfort
ably handled, but unfortunately the property is
carried at too low rates to yield a handsome rev.
enue. West bound traffic was somewhat lighter
last than in the preceding week Xis is ac-
counted for from the fact that the freights de-
layed East by snow blockades were forwarded in
the week ending March 7. Still west
bound tonnage is running ahead of that
of the corresponding period last year North
and south roads doing more than few
weeks ago, but the volume of traffic moving
over them is lighter than usual at this season of
the year. Local business is quite satisfactory
and averages well with the usual March ton
mage. The delay in the coming of genuine
spring weather has been favorable to the coal
traffic. The live stock movement is not as heavy
as usual in March Below we give the number
of cars received and forwarded at this point in
the two weeks ending March and March Ia:
