All day 1 mg. the whole val ley was filled with i l.iek clouds of smoke, and we coitld hear the dull roar of t' e Hames and tue cfasn f uiil-ng wall-, as Houses, Rai roads -ami Ca’> were co.-sunied, Tni- all occm-re lon the 13ih insn We lay in our camp two days afreru ards. and then took up • ■Ur line of march, being real ly the r< ar go-ard of mir forces.

We were followed from the Ferry by a l tae S-u her i minded res'; tents. The large nmjor.ty "f the inhubita its are .inootiom t.s. win. seemed to rejoice a' our ilepartu; e, and those who were our friends did imt deem ; -afe t stay after our forces left.

Anyhow, sve tra veiled hard all day, and encamped near a village called Bunker Hill. The next day early, a rumor came that yve were yvitliin three miles of the enemy, and ammunition yva.s distributed—arms put in order, and yve aii calculated to hear the cannun's roar in a very few minutes.

Ye-terd.iy we removed our camp one mile west of town, to a nice shady grove—near some splendid springs, yvhere we shall very probably remain sometime. We have about 20,< ! 0G men in this division and altogether there now are I suppose 180,- 000 troops, including Virginia Cavalry an 1 imlftia in service, in Virginia. Lincoln’s forces appear to be concent rating On Washington City, and Gen. Bi’iiuregurd we hear, lias pushed liis outposts within three miles of Alexandia. Virginia is a great country, and it ha« great people in it—fine hospitable, generous and patriotic—lovely ladies and brave men. I was particularly taken with Richmond and its people,and think I shall spend a month or so there I efore I return. This cl’mate, diet, and water, is making a sound man of me, and I shall soon be as well ns ever. I have quit dr r.kiog wh ~ky, too Doctor—what do you think of taut?

From the beginning of the G ivernment the South h s supplied the Union with its prin ciples and s ares neu, while the Nn-ili has occupied itselt with schemes of making ni mey out of the G ivernmo it by means ot protec ' tive tariffs, fi.s'i bounties, war p-uisions and land grants. Tno articles ot assoiiatio i ot j 177 G were the result of S nitho.tn exertion ami appeal: the Declaration of Independence ! of 177 G, was the composition of a S nilhern patriot, and the Cohstiruti m ot I<B7 was ch eilv the handiwork of S mtliern s'ati'-mien.

Three Months *.f tns- l,iij<-*.-ln--«vvaril A<l- From “Lt Fays” of J’uri.t. June 7. When we review the policy ot Messrs. Se-vard and L'neoln, when we examine the facts which Lave transpired and the occur ronc.es we have witnessed reioiitly at Paris, we are almost tempted to believe that the Administration of the United States is con ducted under the delusions of lunacy 1 It is a fact that after the Presidential elec tion Mr. Lincoln himself, was so far from con sidering himself elected by ihe national pre ference, that he entered Washington City fur tively, in order to escape, ns be pretended, fr mi cettain infern il plots—which pl its. it is evident, only existed in his own weak brain. Assuming the reins of Government, this excellent Mr. Line.iln imagined—at least he predicted—that the C ml'edi'i-ata States were only temp 'iarilv sepur ted from the rest, and that they would soon return arid resume their places under his pirental authority. But the refusal of these States to respond to tins ap peal of their indulgent father, angered him to such an extent that ht soon after called on ii s Northern friends for 75.01)0 troops in or d -r to treat the S nth as rebellious. Those Southern Stales which had not ye: seceded (and upon the fidelity ol which Mi'. Lincoln had rekoned in order to intimidate those which had heretofore tece led,) having protested against an unconstitnooruil, coer cive paliev, his anger seems to have heen thereby aggravated into a furious rtigo. He proposed to punish them severely, and hav ing dou’cless little confidence in bis 75.000 volunteers, he decrees under hi- individual authority a regular army of 45,000 men. overleaping utterly the restrictions of the (‘onstimtion, which forbid such an act!

I Considering ail these things, Mr. Faulkner notifi"S Mr L'ncoln that his aggressive poli cy did not, to the European Cabinets, appear to be inspired by prudence; that, accordr g to the law of nations, the Confederate States had really a right to the recognition of the European Powers. And then, forgetting that these rebels are not yet conquered, Mr. Lin coln levels his thunder against all Europe.— Fir.-t, a Minister of h's appears in England, and addresses to the Times that famous letter which every one knows ab mt. Then, comes that gracious dispatch from Mr. S 'Ward to Mr. Dayton. Then still later, conics the warning to Europe to suspend al! commorc’a' relations with the Confederate States. And. finally, we have tin ii’tiir/atuin liy whi di Mr. L ticoln arm .rmces that ho will de'Lire war against, any Ear .pp '.n I’-.v.-er which shall take part in this quarrel.

In view of the numerous volunteer corps w!ii h have been recently formed in our own State, and all over the South, we have thought some attention due at this time to the subject ' of the selection of <>fli-.:crs. ' The most prominent, in many an nsscin- : bla-e f‘ r the selection of ..ffi.-ers, has been, I we fear, what may be called your p Ltical : military man. His miliary tastes and elli e.ency are ad cuptaiiduni, superficial and des titute of heart and earnest purpose. He is munitions of olli -e—ready to risk l> s own life, and to saerdi tc the lives . f all under him, with his eye ever on the civil honors of his countrymen as Lis reward. A cool'ier, who is eloquent in his pt'a.ses of the citiz-n , B-ddiery, the fountains of patriotism arc tin- I der his tongue, and the victories < f your forefatheis are only to be surpassed by those Ito which he will p in ; the wav. Who so fit i fora leader? E’eet him ! les, to the Legis i latt'.rc or the Senate. Make him a<l vein r, | a President -anything, rattier than give I him a military command. He wdl use y m | as mere stepping stones to civil station.— I lie would give a cold support to tro ips where 'another would reap tVo glory. He would march you t ■ death, to be up in time to be named as on the field of battle, it.it to d ■ ef ficient service, but that, it might count him so ! many votes in an eleeti n. Who comes next, a candi late fir the favo s of his lel’ows? Y ,ur military man of a for mer war. He truly has the advantage in some things, and is. at least, entitled to a sol dier’s respect. Let us try Lis chums with a few questions. Did he etitn-e any aptitude for military i:f< ? For what did he distin guish himself among his comrades? If he did not impress them with his fitness for com mand, why should he you i Is it. tha - , bav in*' seen some service, he lias stud.ed much since, that lie has given more attention to i military nint'ers than others fr in whom you I might select? That, Laving made some voy ages to sea lief..re the mast, lie has sii ce stu died navigation. Las a d> d L'o u. Manry m his Observatory and lias, in a word, thoroughly prepared himself to command a ship? 1' ' our mditarv friend cannot prove his title cleat ■ IO office higher than that in which he was ■ tried by something like the above, he should ! fail hack into the ranks with the rest, ami b> i judged <»l a* others. i We might run through with a long li-t oi ■ those unfit for mditarv command, beginning with sour noisy m -utiiing Lully, and coming down to your fine-looking oilli er, your man with no more brains than a bullet; but. leav ing tiic-m we will turn our thoughts to those who are fit. F rst and fircmo-t should come your man of military education, and, if possible, of ex perience. The military profession furnishes I a field in which men of ordi a y capachies ' max labor for soim- years without exhausting I the soil; and, notwithstanding the Contrary i opinion held by some men of tahmt, there hate been a few practical men, like Napoleiii, for instance, who thought officers c-m d only ne made by much stud-,. Besides the kn wt edge ol an art, mistakes in the practice of which must be paid for with deuth and suf i fer.ng. the education of these men will have ' tended to make them firm, intrepid, prmtent, ! modest, systematic and prompt, in the -tis ■ charge of duty. They wdl have been taught fiow to c minimi, by having learned how to obey. Even in the case of our first favorite, we would rmt forget that men have gone , through mdiiarv scho is, perhaps even thro I West Point it'elf, very little impres-ed by I their advantages. For it must be adniru <1 j that a m litury education alone does not al- I wavs insure a military man, or a go,-d office , Nature has much to do with ihe formation of ti -military man.” Next should come those who, without the opportunities for thorough i education, have, from inclimition,given such attention as they could to military subjects. If men ealiuot be firm id wli • have been edit a rd for a particular profession, or who haven natural turn for its retpiireinents, the ext best thing ,o be done, where such knowl edge of talent is wa ted, t seems lulls, w ould l>c to select men who habitually d i well what ever they undertake. A good planter, proies sional man, mechanic, mercmiiit. or of w hat ever employment he may lie, let him be good of his kind. But we wish ti lie understood. We do not mean to assert that a good busi ness man is particularly likely to make a good soldier. Facts will not sustain sit han as sertion. On the contrary, the ‘liiisiness m m has ever been a subject for snee.s nm mgsi s .f tiers, whether justly or unjustly. Some of the most dasliingjeaders on record have been oevil-me-care, win! fellows, who have never acquired the meaning nf flic word ‘business.' But a. go al officer must be a man good !'• r -i mething—a man marked for what he un lertakes. We think, for example, a good sportsman —a man of patient pinsuit, earnest ptirp- sc, perseverance, watchlnlness, caution, daring, self-reliance—is as apt. to make a good officer as any untried man. Yet this man may never have seen a ledger. It would be bad policy for any company to select its officers from any mio walk of civil j life. It w ill aid to the efiicieney of anv com panv to have varied inf >rmati n possessed by its tiffin i s, as well , s member-. There is one subject to which we would call special attention viz: the appointment of | staff oIH -ers. These have come to be regur- | ded as of little value in a military- point ~i ■ view. We do not mean to offend w hen we I say that personal friendship, pleasing man ners. fine appearance, a good seat in the sad dle, and such like reasons, seem to have beei all that weighed in the choice of men, on whom, to a great extent, deper ds the disci pline of the troop- —their efficiency— so far as it can lie affected by the proper supply of food, clothing, arms, munitions, selection of sites for camps, and all that relates to the care of the sick. &e. From this time hence forth, let all who have such appoir fluents to make, remember that no matter how skilful the commander, or good the separate bodies under him, that army must he a miserable af fair in which there arc not good staff officers. The stuff officets of Napoleon, Wellingtor . Diebitseh, Blucher, Washington, rank only as next to themselves. We have but to name them in proof of t.ur assertion : B-rlliier, Soult, S anerso', I’arclay, Thitrnhorst, Gnci sontiu, Hamilton, Greene.
