Dear Courier: It scotnB to bo fore
ordained and predostinod that our Bri
gade shall not continue long in ono
place. Tho foxes liavo holes and tho
birds of tho air have nests, but wo have
not remained long enough in ono pined
to tlig tho ono or build the other. To
duy wo moved only about two milos,
from tho North to tho East sido of tho
town, and this was done for tho pur
pose of soourlng a monopleasant camp
ing ground. Tho move was a good ono
hut tho manner one) tlmo of it was out
rageous. It would not bo a sourco of
very bitter oomplnint if it was tho first
occurrence of tho kind. But the fact
is, that nearly every tlmo our Regiment
has been called upon to move, wo have
been ordered to bo in readiness from
two hours to two and u half days boforo
starting, and in every instance, oxcopt
one, there has transpired no good
son, and no one at all apparent, except
negligence. Good sonso would seem to
indicuto that tho corps should move
j forward at tho precise tiixe they wero
ordered to do so, and, if some portion
' wore not in readiness then they should
j be the ones to suffer, and not thoso
| who had* promptly dono their duty.
; To day we \v< ro ordered to be in roadi-
I ness t«i leave camp at 7 ft. in., but did
| not move until noon. In this instunoo
the fault wns surely with the Brigndo
officers, for it was ascertained just be
fore starting that tho delay was occa
sioned by the ofllcers hunting a placo
to move to. Wo wore tints kept in
suspense after packing up all our tilings,
until tho cool of tho morning had en
tirely passed away, and then without
dinner, in tho broiling hot sun, with
heavy knapsacks and guns. Sovcrul of
the Light Guards “gaveout” on tho way
and two camo very near fainting. It
was intensely hot, and sun stroke was
seriously apprehended by severul. But
wo nro here now, in a beautiful grov
with a splendid spring near by, and
the indications me thnt wo have very
comfortable quarters, for, perhaps, sov
end weeks.

Friday Juno 28, 1801.}
Dear Courier -Time lias dragged
slowly with us hero for tho past two
days, for the reason that we have noth*
ng to do oxcopt our regular duties,
and thoso havo ceased to bo novol and
oxciting. Our customary, routino for
the day is rovnillo at 4 o’clock A. M.;
breakfast at 6J ; company drill at 7, for
an hour and a half; squad drill from
91 to li o’clock ; rest and prepare din
ner till noon; after dinner until 4
o’clock T. M., wo havo for washing,
monding and ironing clothes, cleaning
arms and accoutrements, and sloeping
if wo havo time for it; at that hour thoro
is a Batallion drill, continuing an hour
and a half; at 6 dross parade; supper
at"; Tattoo at 9J, and taps at 10 o’
clock. Homo fow men are shirks, nnd
make thcmsclvoz and messmates mis
erable, by trying to nvoid their duties,
especially those eoi noctcd with the
culinary departments; but most pf
them cheerfully perform their duHcs
and show thoir good sense and breed
ing, by acting well their paits. Our
rations nro ample; beef nnd bacon
alternately; flour, (and occasionally
meal and rice,) sugar, coRoj, soap, can
dles and salt. Butter, eggs, chickens
und lard are luxuries thnt we can get
occasionally by paying for them. The
three former havo advunced a hundred
per oont since wo wore here before.—
Butter now command 25 cts., eggs 25
cts. per do*., nnd spring chickens 20 cts
each. Wo live quite as well as could
bo oxpccted, and tho nppicbonsion
is that unless wo get some tnoro march
ing to do soon, wo will all get fut nnd
lazy.
Tho citizens of Winchester nro wor
thy of praiso beyond the power of
languago to express, for their extensive
and untiring exertions in providing
quarters and nursing tho sick. I went
through tho town yesterday, and nearly
every house, whether large or small,
with indications of wealth or poverty,
socmed full of invalid soldiers. Thoro
is very liltlo sickness except mcnsols,
and with tho fine nursing thus provi
ded, very few cases have proved fatal.
Only soino half dozen cases have as yet
appeared in our Regiment. Thoro are,
as 1 con learn, about 7,500

of tho uospitulity of tho citizons of

of tho most popular envelope mottoes
is “War to tho knife and tho knife to

implacable spirit! Why wouldn’t “war

that superfluous piece of bombast, “and

A Cop of llot Coffee.
Not one person in a hundred in this
country, I venture to assert, link ever
tasted anything that doserves thu name
of Coffco, or bus any cohesption of the
truo character of that delightful bover-
nge. Tho black, muddy, bittor and un
wholesome decoction that passes by its
nnmo on most American tables, is not
fit to enter the stomach of a pig; and
is ns unpulatablo to tho unperveitcd
taste as it is harmful to tiio vital orgnn-
ism. But^wo become accustomed to
tliis. as wo do to our “hog and hominy”
diot, and rolisli it ds tho Esquimaux
docs his train oil.
Try a cup of our Cofleo nnd confess
that.I am only not severe enough in
my condemnation of tlio abotninablo
stull’ of which 1 have boon spooking.
“Mrs. Lon” makes it according to the
following rules:
1. To have good Coffee, tho first es
sential is to procure tlio genuinobciry
(Mocha or Java l* always to bo prefer
red, and tho first is best ol all.) in a per
fect and undamagod state. It should
bo round and small grained, freo from
dust, and of a light color. Never buy
ground Coffee, unless you are willing to
pay a high price fur roasted chiccory,
peas and corn,
2. It must ho properly roasted, Qn
this point thoro is groat danger of fail
ure; and tiio bast Cofleo badly ions tod
can hardly ho distinguished from tho
iioorcst. In roasting, tlio bout should
be strong and tho operation as brief
as jMJssible. Tbo proper (Jogroo of heat
gives tlio berry a glossy appearance,
arid a peculiar flavor nnd aroma, which
fail to apponr with too little, and aro to
tally destroyed by toomuch. Curofully

bluokesi day iii the auiuls of tho his-,
lory of Murylund. In tho dead of

dred men entered our eity and arrest

perseded. Under thoso circumstances
tiie Board hud but ono thing to do.
Thoy could not suffer themselves or tiie
police force to be mndo responsible for
Major John R. KonJey’s proceedings,
nor to be Compromised by any connec
tion with thu individuals to whom Gen.
oral Banks hud confided tlio chief di
rection of our municipal* affairs. De
prived of all authority, tho Board could
not consistently with its self-respect to
duty, uppeur to eountennnco tho acts of
tho usurping powor. It therefore tem
porarily dismissed tho polioo from fur-
trier duty, and ordered tlio men to tcko
off tlioir uniforms. Tho rulo of tho
clubs of other days will now bo ro-os-
tnbl.ished. Wo give below a moro de

3. It tyust be groutid fine, and just
before using.
4. It must bo infused, and not boiled.
_so tho Fronoh coft’co pot, or a com
mon coffee pot with a patent strainer,
(Stockwcll’s) if either can be procured;
but any coffee pot will do. Pour boil
ing water upon the cofleo and let it
stand a few minutes to steep, i mi you
will havo a strong infusion, with all the
proper flavor and aroma of coffco.
5. Dilulo this infusion in tho cup with
rich boiled milk (adding cream if you
imvo it) and swooton to the taste with
refined sugar. Use at least two part* of
milk to ono ot coffee, making tho latter
very strong, however. Diluting it with
water is not tho samo thing ut ull.
Mado in this way, Coffco is a beverage
which tho gods on Olympus, with their
cups overflowing with nectar and am-
bruria might covet. Drink it mode
rately (one cup ut a meal is enough)
arid it will I.arm neither stomach nor
nerves: -provhL-d. of course tin y are
notulnwJv in a diseased condition.
Boiled Coffee is quite a different arti
cle. the effects of h aling being to drive
off the fine flavor und aroma which give
to tlio properly prepared nrljcln its
magic charm, und ut tho same time to
oxtract Hro bitter and unwholesome
properties of tho berry.
