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. !

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.

Nothing but his superior firmno. ; ami ability can sttl/luc and surmount all dif ficulties. ” 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.
