Tactics Extraordinary.

Immediately after the ordinance of
secession was passed, and it became
apparent that there would be a war.
the attention Of the southern youth
was directed almost exclusively to
"Hardee's Tactics" and especially to
the drill of the company. Military
organizations sprang up as thick as
hops all over the country, and the ri.
valry between them, as well as the in
terest elected from their civilian
friends and admirers, was immense.
There was one very fine company or
ganized at Memphis, which acquired a
wide reputation for excellence in all
the evolutions. 1t was commanded by
Mexican veteran, who was master
of tactics and a martinez in drill.
Every afternoon throng of people
would resort to the large vacant lot
whereon this company was receiving
instruction, to witness and applaud.
Once, when an unusually large crowd
was collected, the captain became so
enthused that after exhausting every
recognized movement he began to ex-
temporize, and shouted out the COM
mand: Company, right and left
oblique, march !" The men essayed to
obey the order, and scattered widely.
The captain racked his brain for a
proper command to bring them to-
gether again, but the tactics provided
no formula for such dilemma. At
length, when the boys had become
strung out like flock of wild pigeons,
and seemed about to separate forever,
