These stop- pages will be regulated by the tables of cost published by the chief of the Ordnance Department, and shall have precedence of all other claims on the pay of officers and soldiers. Camps and Bivouacs. A'^(j. Camp is the place where troops are established in tents, in huts, or in bivouac. Cantonments are the inhabited places which troops occupy for shelter when not put in barracks. The camping-party is a detachment detailed to prepare a camp. 487. Reconnoissances should precede the establishment of the camp. For a camp of troops on the march, it is only necessary to look' to the health and comfort of the troops, the facility of the communications, the convenience of wood and water, and tho resources in provisions and forage. The ground for an intrenched camp, or a camp to cover a country, or one designed to deceive the eneu)y as to the strength of the army, must be selected, and the camp arranged for the object in view. 488. The camping-party of a regiment consists of the regimental Quartermaster and Quartermaster-Sergeant, and a Corporal and two men per company. The General decides whether tho regiments camp separately or together, and whether the police guaitl shall accompany the camping-party, or a larger escort shall be sent. 480. Neither baggage nor led horses are permitted to move with tho cam ping- party. 490. When the General can send in advance to prepare the camp, he gives his instruolions to the chief of the Quartermaster's Department, 18 quaiCterma^ter's guide. who calls on the rer!;imcnts for their onniping-parties, find is accompa- nied, if necessary, bj- an P^ngineer, to propose tlie defences and cuni- munications. 491. The watering-places are examined, and signals pl.iccd at those that are dan^rerous. Any work required to make tlicni of easier access is done by the police guard or (^uartermnster's men. Sentinels, to be relieved by the guards of the regiment when they come up, are placed b}' the camping party over the water if it ii? scjirce, and over the houses and stores of provisions and forage in the vicinity. 492. If the camping-pariy does not precede the regiment, the Quar- termaster attends to these things as soon as the regiment reaches the camp. • 49.'i. On reaching the ground, the infantry form on the color front; the cavalry in rear of its camp. 494. The Generals establish the troops in camp as rapidly as possible, particularly after long, fatiguing niarclies. 495. The number of men to be furnished for guards, pickets, and orderlies; the fatigue parties to be sent for supplies; the work to be done, and the strength of the working parties ; the time and jdace for issues; the hour of marching, ttc, are then announced by the Briga- dier Generals to the Colonels, and by them to the field officers — the Adjutant and Captains formed in front of the regiment, the First Ser- geants taking post behind their Captains. The Adjutant then make.^ the details, and the First Sergeants warn the men. The regimental officer of the day forms the picket, and sends the guards to their posts. The colors are then planted in the centre of the color line, and the arms are stacked on the line; the fatigue parties to procure supplies, and the working parties form in rear of the arms; the men not on detail pitch the tents. 490. If the camp is near the enemy, the picket remains under arms until the return of the fatigue parties, and, if necesssary, is reinforced by details from each comjtaoy. 497. In the cavalry, each troop moves a little in rear of the point at which its horses are to be secured, and forms in one rank ; the men ther) dismount ; a detail is made to hold the horses ; the rest stack their arms and fix the ])icket rope; after the horses are attended to, the tents are pitched, and each horsenjan places his carltine at the side from the weather, and hangs his sabre and bridle (m it. 498. The standard is then carried to the tent of the Colonel. 499. The terms front. Hank, right, left, file, and rank, have the samo meaning when applied to camps as to the order of battle. 500. The front of the camp is usually equal to the front of the troops. The tents aire arranged in ranks and files. The number of ranks varies with the strength of th.e companies and the size of the tents. 501. No officer will be albiwed to occupy a hou>^e, although vacant and on the ground of his camp, except by permission of the commander of the brigade, wl'o nhall report it to the commander of the division, 502. Tiie staff officer charged with establishing the camp will desig- nate the place for the shambles. The offal will be buried. quartermaster's guide. 19 « Gamp of In/antri/. 503. Each company has its tents in two files, facing on a street per- pendicular to the color line. The width oi the street depends on the front of the camp, but should not be less than five paces. The interval between the ranks of tents is two paces; between the files of tents of adjacent companies, two. paces ; between regiments, twenty-two paces. 504. The color line is ten paces in front of the front rank of tents. The kitchens are twenty paces behind the rear rank of company tents ; the non-commissioned staff and sutler, twenty paces in rear of the kitchen ; the company oflicers, twenty paces farther in rear; and the field and staff, twenty paces in rear of the company officers. 505. The company oflBcers are in rear of their respective companies; the Captains on the right. .lOG. The Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel are near the centre of the line of field and staff; the Adjutant, a Mnjor and Surgeon, on the right ; the Quartermaster, a Major and Assistant Surgeon, on the left. 507. The police gOard is at the centre of the line of the noncommia- sioned staff, the tents facing to the front, the stacks of arms on the left. 508. The advanced post of the police guard, is about 200 paces in front of the color line*, and opposite the centre of the regiment, or on the best ground ; the prisoners' tent are about four paces in rear. In a regi- ment of the second line, the advanced p ^st of the police guard is 200 paces in rear of the line of its field and staff. 509. The horses of the staff ofiBcers and of the baggage train are twenty-five paces in rear of the tents of the field and staff; the wagons are parked on the same line, and the men of the train camped near them. • ^ 510. The sinks of the men are 150 paces in fi-ont of the color line-^ those of the officers 100 paces in rear of the train. Both are concealed by bushes. When convenient, the sinks of the men may be placed in the rear or on the flank, A portion of the earth dug out for sinks to be thrown back occasionally. 5] 1. The front of the camp of a regiment of 1000 men in two ranks will be 400 paces, or one-fifth less pjices than the number of files, if the camp is to hav« the same front as the troops in order of battle. But the front may be reduced to 100 paces by narrowing the company streets to five paces ; and if it be desirable to reduce the front still more,* the tents of companies may be pitched in single file — those of a divis- ion facing on the same street. Camp of Cavalry. 512. In the cavalry, each company has one file of tents — the tcnta opening on the street facing the left of the camp. 513. The horses of each company are placed in a single file, facing the opening of the tents, and are fastened. to pickets planted firmly in the ground, from three to six paces from the tents of the troops. 514. The interval between the tile of tents should be such that, the regiment being broken into column of companies, each company should be ns Pive allowed to march with the train. The wagons of the several headquarters, the regimental wag- ons, and the wagorjs of sutlers authorized by orders from headquarters to march with tlie train, are all to bo conspicuously marked. 754.^ When the train of headquarters is to have a guard, the strength of the guard is regulated by the General. Geilerals of Brigade guard their trains by the men attacherl to the train of the first regiment of their brigades. The regimeutal trains are loaded, unloaded, and guard- ed, as far as practical)le, by convalescents and men not oflfective in the ranks; in. the cavalry, by dismounted men. When the guard of a train is the escort for its defence, the regulations in regard to convoys and escorts take effect. 755. Habitually each division is followed by its train, the regimental trains, uniting at the brigade rendezvous. When otherwise,' the order for the movement of the divisions, brigades, and regiments contains the necessary directions in regard to the assembling and marching of the respective trains. The several trains march in a,n order analogous to the rank of -the generals, and the order of Ijattle of the troops to which they belong. Trains are not allowed in any case to be in the midst of the troops, or to impede the march of the troops. 75G. The wagon-master.s, under fche orders of the officers of the Quar- termaster's Department, exercise the necessary restraints over the team- sters and servants who leave their teams, or do not properly conduct them ; or wiio ill-treat their horses, or who attempt to pillage, or rua ftway in case of attack. 757. The Geqeral.commanding the army and the Generals of Division will not permit any general or staff officer, or regiment under their or- t in case of necessity,, which nhall be promptly reported to the department commander. 880. Extia-duty pay of a saddler in a mounted company will be charged on the company muster-roll,, to be paid by the Quartermaster and refunded by the Ordnance Department. Extra-duty pay of cook& and nurses in the hospital service will be paid by the (Quartermaster, in the aljsence of a medical disbursing otficer, and refunded by the Medi- cal Department. The extra pay of cooks and nurses will be charged on hospital muster-rolls. Public Property, 3Ioiiey and Accowits. 800.

Common charcoal, intended for fuel, is prepared by cutting pieces of wood, from one inch to three inches in diameter, into lenj^ihs of one foot to three feet, forming them into a conical pile, and covering thorn with turf or clny, leaving two or three small holes close to the ground for.liiihtiug the wood, and boring t rough the turf in the upperpart of the cone, a few ymall holes for the escape of the smoke. The pile being lighted at the several holes along the bottom, con- tinues burning with a slow, smouldering flame for a week or two, and is allowed to cool before the turf is removed. In the case of very high wind-^, the holes to the windward are Stopped to prevent combustion from going on with too great rapidity. Any kind of wood is suitable to make common charcoal. Limey how manufactured. Lime is obtained by exposing chalk and other kinds of earth, or oys- ter shells, and clam shells to a red heat in a pit or kiln. Prepare a pir, (size accvrdirig to the quantity of litne wanted.) At the bottom lay wood and on top place the shells or earth ; and upim this again pbicf! anorher layer of wood, upon which, place again the shells or BJirth, to the he ght of four or five layers of wood and materials ; light the whole — ttje rarbonic acid thus expelled, and lime, more or lesd pure, (according to the materials used,) reinains.

His history of races,' and comparison of their capacities for progress and em- ])ire, will strike every intelligent render as being as able in deductiims a? it is remarkable in research and varied learning. He convey.s, in a small compass, the ];ecuiiar .traits of the negro race, physical, moral, and mental, arid makes apparent the impassable gulf \\ Inch God has placed between him and the white man; Ibrever preventing the eqiiality of the two races — the- negro doomed to inferiority throughout all ages, past, present and futuri'.'" — liichtnond Jlhig. "Tlie policy of the Lincoln Administration is reviewed, the victories of the war ennnjeratcd, and the author concludes with a peroration of thrill* irig eloquence.'" — JlichiKOud Einjuirer. " The author trcat.s all the subjects growing out of the slavery dispute with ,an acutoness of analysis and a grace of style that give a wonderful freshness to subjects which hnve been hack^ieyed by other writers, and has piodnced in the whole a popidar and graceful exposition of Southern political philosophy."' — Ri-lvuotd Examiner. "The historical ttateraent in flip concluding pages, of tho conduct of the North since the beginning of the sectional troubles, and especially of the Federal Admini;tiaiion, towards the South, is masterly. It is a simple record of facts, and less ornate than any f-iher part of the publication; but he must bo a man of if-e whose blood that i-nvarnisihed story doer< not cause tu boil in every vein."' — Dispatch.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS, LlC. The following tribute io this extraordinary book is froni the gifted pen of tlie autl- ^rrss of " Benlah :'' " ""If any evidence, not p#lpablo even to the'nio?t obtuse, were required of tlie fixed and solemn resoiution of the people cf the Confederacy, and ri the cool, calm deliberation pervading the public mind in the mid>t of the 1 gigantic revoliuioo now being consummated, it might be Inrnished by the i welcome appearance,, at this crisi.?, of JMr. Pollard's valuable book; a siicci^ict, eloquent, impartial history of events, laboriously compiled in ' close proximity to the theatre of v>ar, while the author looked down on the great Richmond ecliiquier. The work bears none ol" the mtuks of hasty structure, which might, under the exciting circumstances of its cotn- position, be readily pardoned; on the contiary, it is characterized by remarkable unity, .and by an easy, graceful diction, perspicuity, and happy . coniLnuity of narration. The public will dciibtle::^s apjdaud and appreciate the absence in thisvork cf the Proerustean standard of favourilei^m; by v.liich too many hiitorians lo]) off or stretch the facts dh-cu«sed, and will ^alue. the stern impartiality \\hich-inar:i Tests ittcir in the utterance of un- pleasant but indisputable truths. The loarless nic'tiiii: out of ceiif-iire. just - where abundant testimony fixes it, cannot fail to excite the adiniiation of | .every true, manly, honest soul. The extremes of indiscriniinaie piai-e (u- abuse, have been avoided, but tliat r>oble moral cotirnj.e, so himentably^ rare in the Opnfcderacy, which dares to lay the lash of just censure on thel shoulders of the highest officials when sanctiored by irrefragable prcmfl seems to be possessed in an extraordinary degree by the author of this cotripilation of national events. The too eflecttial muzzling of the new^■■ paper department is now the less to be deplored, since the great centre cl the government- contains so dauntless a censor." From the Atlanta ( Ga.') Southern Confederacy. '-The First Year of the War" is from the large and enterprising publish- ing hoii'fee of West & Johnston, Richmond, and written by Edwarcf A, Pollard, author of "Black Diamonds,"' &c., one of the best informed men iipon the political history of this country, and a most forcible and vigorous writer. * * It is a mo-t readable and instructive iKok, gotten up with surprising accuracy, and will repay a careful perusal." ■From tlie EicJimoncVExaminer. "It is the i>iost elaborate and valuable literary contribution that has yet been made to the interests ol the South : that it vvill not only entice, but repay, thiC curiosity of all readers.'' »
