On 8unday morning, reinforcements having arrived, prepare* tions were made for an advanoe upon the enemy. About daylight, a column of men, consisting of twenty-one regiments, but not more than 15,000 strong, took up their lino of march to the right of us; a small force under the protection of the Rhode Island battery took position on the left, [For ihe rittston ouett«.j while we were stationed on the ground pre- A Iietter from Virginia. viously occupied by us on the 18th, our Hunter's Place, N.

This 3a no sketch, | no pietore of the imagination, it is hard, stern reality. Let these faota be widely ' circulated at the north, and if thia ia to be the style of warfare carried on by the Sonthern Confederacy, before the conflict is over the sooth will become one barren deaert, and her population will be swept away like chaff Mfore the driving winds. The blood of our murdered brothers calls out loudly for vengeance. Shall they have it 1 Let the freemen of the north respond. All honor to the true, the brave, the gallant hearts that have offered up their lifeblood as a willing sacrifice in thia moat righteous cause. Their namea will be written in letters of living light, and gain a bright page in the history of a glorious land. My friends at home, be not disheartened by our temporary reverse. That we shall ultimately triumph ia as certain as death. Many of us will not live to see it, but ice shall triumph. Aa long as there is one drop of the pure, patriotio blood of our revolutionary sires coursing our veins, we will not shrink from the conflict, or abandon the cause of our country in her hour of need. We want no compromise* until the thieves, cowards and assassins now arrayed against us shall have been swept away, and old Davis and his staff hanged by the neck between heaven and earth.— I have endured much. I have encountered deadly peril. I am ready and willing to do more—to encounter the same, or still greater peril. Many of us have those depending on us who are dearer than life itself, but aa dear as they are, and as bitter as ia the pang at the thought of the eternal sundering of the bonds which love haa so closely knit, still at the call of our oountry we are prepared to bid even them farewell forever, and to meet a glorious death like those of our brave comrades who have gone before us. What a terrible thing a battle is. No one can conceive any idea of it till he has actually been in the engagement. The moaning and mourn* ful cries of the wound—dying for want of water or loss of blood—staggering upon their feet but to see a brother or a father dead beside him—the hurrying to and fro of the ambulances and field stretohers, filled with the most horrible sights man can imagine, thrown in a pile amidst pain and agony, to lay there only to wait to be handled by the surgeon, probably be slashed into as a beast of the forest—and see some twenty or thirty brave follows, but a few moments before full of life and gayety, all occupying one grave. There waa one poor fellow of the New York Twelfth who was sitting on a stone, probably from fatigue, when a rifled cannon ball struck him, taking all one side of his head off, and waa yet still struggling for life, which is so sweet to us all. He was, in oourse of an hoar, bled to death by the surgeon, to quiet his misery. A thousand like this of our brave volunteers have fallen. From a thousand homes in the hillside cottages and peaceful glens of the north, goes up a wail of anguish lor the fathers, husbands, brothers, lovers and sons, who may never more return to those homes, where the sound of their footsteps was wont to bring joy and gladness. The maiden will wait in vain for her lover, the mother for her son, the wife for her husband. They are all gone, and with them the light of a thousand homes has gone out- They have fallen martyrs to a just and holy cause.— The enemy's loss is probably three thousand, but for them we have no sympathy. Their acts of barbarity on the field of battle have set our hearts againat them. It waa only a providential act that we came away. Two were struck with a cannon ball in my own oompany. tfhree years is a long while to be parted from my kind friends, and to live in such a wild manner, amid so many hardships. Many nights during that battle we laid out in the cold rain, without even a blanket to throw over us, nothing to eat for two days, and then made that retreat of thirty miles. "I tho't I would be taken prisoner, for I was in fear of failing asleep on the road. Nothing but excitement saved us. I lost the regiment and went to Alexandria, in fact, about one-half of them went there. The balance went to Arlington Hights. Alexandria is filled with Union troops. The place is completely shattered and torn to pieces. I4e next day I caught up to the regiment, bare-footed and bent almost double. I did not get over it in a week. We are not ordered to take up the line of march for a few daya. F. W. Millttty Instructions in our Aoadem- A Queer Baoe of People. Chambers' Journal, discussing a recent book of missionary travels in Africa, thus alludes to one of the tribfes which an (bttbd in that terra incognilia:— But the strangest of all the stories told are of the Dokos, who lire amobg the moist) warm bamboo woods to the south of Caffik and Susa. Only four feet high, of a dark olive color, savage and baked, they have neither fire nor human food. They lire only on ants, mice, and serpents, diversified by a few roots and fruits; they let theif nails grow long like talons, the better td dig for ants, and the more easily to tear in pieces their favorite snakes. They do not marry, but live indiscriminate lives of anU mala, exhibiting very little maternal instinet. The mother nurses her ohild for only a short time, accustoming it to Ml ants abd serpents as soon as possible; and when it can help itself, it Wanders awaj where it will, and the mother thinks nd more about it.

DAVID BKLDEN J Whatever be the isstte of the war,whether the Union be re-established or the Rebels succeed in consolidating their projected despotism, it is evident that the Northern States must thenceforward hold themselves in readiness for military operations on a vast scale. Since the emergency, which began with the assault on Sumter, our acknowledged deficiency has not been men, but competent officers. Had these eilsted in adequate numbers, with a moderate share of theoretical and practical knowledge, it is beyond question that the efficiency of the army would have been indefinitely greater, and that we would have been spared mueh disaster and mortification. It is entirely in our power to guard against this condition in future years, by making military instrnotion a part of the course in all our colleges, high schools and private schools for boys of proper age. Beside national security to recommend this system, it is now urged by the most eminent physiologists who have made the matter their study, that die minds of our children are overtasked, and that their mature powers would be far more vigorous if physical were united with mental training as a requisite part of education. As the present is a fa* vorable moment to excite interest in this measure, we submit a suggestion of the modes of carrying it into practice. »T mmmc w»i*ii. INSCRIBED TO O. W., ESft. B.

The course should embrace the School of the Soldier, the Company and the Battalion, with as much of the sword exercise, artillery practice, horsemanship and the principles of engineering, as could be compassed without undue interference with ordinary studies. One half-hour, five days in the week, faithfully devoted, an hour or two on the sixth day, and a half-day for field exercise once a month, would suffioe to initiate bojs; with any capaoity for military acquirements, into the theory and practioe of a company officer's duty, and enable them, if called into service, to fall naturally and quiokly into its active routine. The cost of this addition to the oourse of the University and High School would be very insignificant contrasted with the end. It would far more than repay, in the development of the muscle, in the health and vigor which it would insure to its recipients, any possible tax upon these institutions. We would have, from their graduates alone, in the oourse of a few years, a body of men who, uniting general education with the rudiments of military art, wohld be qualified at once for subordinate commands, or would form a most valuable element in the ranks.

The metropolis was staked off, but there were bttt few buildings, and those were at magnifioent distances from each other.

While all will agree that the nation should not inour the expense of a large standing army, nor the danger to liberty which always attends suoh an institution, it will be equally oonoeded that the erisis through which we are passing demonstrates the necessity oi being prepared, by such military training as is possible, consistently with the miscellaneous studies of boys and the ordinary pursuits of peace, to muster at sudden eall even half a million of troops, as we are now doing, and to have them adequately officered. To this end let this city do her part, and set an example which may influence other communities. The times have changed—let us remember the maxim —and we mutt change with them. We must adapt ourselves to exigencies now manifest in the future, though never contemplated by our patriot fathers, who, in their simplicity, had no anticipation that treason would be rampant among millions of their descendants to overthrow the nation which they had founded.—Philadelphia Inquirer..

Of the drtakard it is often said that be is a poor judge of hitnself, often imagining himself #frbe sober when he is not. It is very muoh bo with all the evil passions that pray upon fallen humanity; they beguile and deceive, ruin and destroy, without any advertisement of their presence except in thoir results. They shrink from the blase of ooasoienoe, and burrow in the heart. TVMTICTIT.—The citizens of Pittaton I / and vicinity will bear in mind that Dr. A.
