When you intend to engage in a decisive ■
battle, avail yonrsi If as till the chances of suc
cess; more especially if you have to do with
a great captain ; for if you are Leaten, though
yon may be in the midst of your ma .azines
and near yo’tr fortified posts, wo to tiie van- ■
quished!
The duty of an advanced guard de cs not
consist in advancing or r:treating, but in
mar.oyivring. It slnuil lbe composed of light
cavalry supported by a reserve of heavy, and
by battalions of infantry, with artillery io
support them. The advanced guard should
be f'-rme i of choice troops, amt the generals,
ollicers, and soldiers, according to the re p.tire
ments of their respective rank, should be
thoroughly acquainted with the peculiar tac
tics necessary in tills kind of service. An
untrained company would be only a s itirec
of embarrassment.
It should be adopted rs a principle, never
to allow intervals through which the enemy
c m penetrate between the difi.-rent corps 1
the line of cattle, unless yon have laid a snare '
into which it is your object to draw him.
The camps of the same army should be |
alwavs so place ! as to be able to sustain each
other
They who proscribe lines of eircumVa'- ■
lation and all tho aid which the ait of the en- 1
gineer can furnish, gratuitously deprive i
thctnsclves of auxiliaries that arc never in- 1
jurious, almost always useful, and often in- j
dispensable. The principles of field fortifi
cation, however, need improvement. This |
important branch of the art of war has nude I
n > progress in mod irn times. It is even at
this day in a lower state than it was two ,
J , i
tlious ind years ago. Officers of the engineer
department ought to be enc'iira.ged to perfect
this branch of their art, and raise it to a level
with others.
I ifantry, cavalry, and artillery, cannot d’s
pct.se with each other. They ought to be
cant'med in such a manner as always to
be able to support each other in ease of sur
prise.
Tho practice of mingling companies of
horse and foot together, is bad ; it produces
nothing but trouble, lhe cavalry is depriv
ed of its capacity f>r rapidity of motion; it
is cramped in all its movements ; it loses its
i impulse.
; The infantrv toe. is exposed ; for, at the
; first movement o. the cavalry, it reinauis
' without support. The best mo le of protect
; ing cavalry, is to support its flank.
Chatges of cavalry arc equally serviceable
in the beginning, the middle, and the end <1 a
battle. They should be executed whenever
they can be made on the flanks of th-.' infan
try, particularly when the latter is engag :d
in front.
It belongs to the cavalry then to fol’oiv tin
the victory, and prevent the enemy from ral
lying.
Artillery is more necessary to cavalry than
i to infantry, because cavalry do not fire, and
I can fight, only in elo'O conflict. It is to sup
i ply this deficiency tliat horse artillery has
; been resorted to. Cavalry, therefore, should
! always ba accom;~a:iied by cannon, wheth
er attacking, resisting in position, or rally
: * n £-
The principal part of tho artillery should
be with the divisions of infantry and ofcav.il
: ry, whether m irching or in position, and the
: rest should be plac'd in reserve. Each piece
. should have with it three hundred charges
lof powder and ball, besides tb.e contents of
i the ammunition box. That is' about the
! quantity consumed in two battles.
| Batteries should be placed in the most ad
l vantagcous positions, and as far in advance
i of the linee of infantry and cavalry as is pot
s ble,without endangering the gu s. It
! ch-si ruble that the batteries should have com-
I ma’id over the field equal to the full height or
the platform. They must not bo masked on
I the right or left, bitt should be at liberty to
I direct their fire towards every point.
! Ago >d genorab good cfr. tors, coainrssi' n
! o 1 and uon-eommiss’oned, good organization,
I good instruction, and strict discipline, make
I gcod troops, independently of the c .use for
I which they are fighting. But enthusiasm,
I love of country, ami the desire of e mtribut
j ing to the national glory, may also animate
; young troops with adiantago.
The first quality of a soldier is constancy
.in enduring fatigue* and hardship. Courage
iii only the second. Poverty, privation,
l -and want, arc the school <>f the goo 1 soldier.
: There are five things n hich a soldier ought,
never to be without, v’z : his musket, his
| eartridgebox, his knapsack, hie provisions
’ for at least four days mid his pioneer hatchet.
■ Reduce his knapsack, if you deem it necc::-
I sary to do so. to the smallest size, but let the
; soldier always have it with him.
It is not by harangues at the moment < f
cr.g'aging, that s ildiorsaro rendered brave.
\ eterans hardly listen to them, and recrti ts
forget them at the first discharge, of a cannon
If speeches and argument'; tire at any time
useful, it is d tiring the course of the cam
paign, by coitiilerit' ting false reports and
ctitises of discontent, maintaining a proper ;
spirit in tliccamp, and furnishing sttbjo'ds of
convcrstition in the b’v a:a":i. These sever
al objects in.'.y be attained by tho printed
orders of the day.
'1 enls are injiirion.'. f * bcrdib. ’* is mii. 'i
better for tin soldier to bivotraek, because ho
ilicn sleeps with his feet to the tire, which ;
quickly dries the ground on w’yich he lies.

To authorize generals and officers to lay
d iivn their arms by virtue of a special ca
pitulation, un lcr any other circumstanets
than when they coir titutc the garrison of a
to tifiod place, would unquestionably be at
tended with dangerous consequences. To
open this door to cowards to men wanting
one:g <, er even to misguided bravo men, is
to destroy the military spirit of the nation.—
An extraordinary situation requires extra
ordinary resolution. The more obstinate the
resistance of an armed b >dy, the n; >re chances
it will have of being succored or of forcing a
passage. How many things apparently im
possible, have nevertheless been performed by
res ilufc men who had no alternative but
No sovcrc’gn, no people, no general can bo
secure, if the officers arc permitted to capitu
late on the field and lay down their arms by
virtue of an agreement favorable to them
-cl ves ami to the troops under their com
mand, hut opposed to the interest of the re
mainder of the army. To withdraw from
peril, themselves, and thus render the, posi
tion of their comrades more dangerous, is
manifestly an act of baseness. Such conduct
ought to be proscribed, pronounced infamous,
mi l punishable widi death. Tho generals,
| officers and soldiers who, in a Lattlc, have
I saved their lives liy capitulating, ought to
ibi decimated. He who commands the army
! to be surren lercd. and they who obey him,
are alike traitors, and deserve capital punish
ment..
There is but one honorable way of being
; made a prisoner cf war ; that is, by being
taken separately, and when you can no lon
ger make use of your arms. Then there aro
mi conditions —for there can be none, con
: sistcntly with h.oror—- but you are compelled
to surrender by absolute necessity.
To be familiar with the gcogrnyihy and fo
j pography of the country ; to Le skillful in
'making a recon no issa nee ; to be attentive to
' the despa tch of orders ; to be capable of ex
hibiting with simplicity the most complicn
i ted movements of an army;—those arc tho
! qualifications that sht.ul l distinguish tho
officer called to. the station of chief of the :t iff.
| A general of artillery should be acquainted
‘ with all the operations of the army, as he in
l oblige Ito supply the different divi ions o' -
| which it is composed, with arms and ammit-
I niiion. His communications with the artil

' keep him informed of all the ni iverncnts

I mation.

with the inhabitants; to send out spies: to seize

j abstract of tl.eircontcnts; in short to answer all
i the inquiries of the General on h’s arrival
with the whole army; such are the duties
I which come within the sphere of a good gen
