LOUISVILLE EEADfITARTERS, DECEMBER
10, ISOI. ,
GENERAL QUEERS.
THE adjutant general will again proceed to the annual
convention of the field officers of the relpecfive re
gimen is ant. battalions, together with the brigade infpeiTtors
oi .he brigades they relpeclive ly belong to, at finch times,
and at iuch pi aces, as may be moft convenient for all tlie
field officers of fucli brigades, in order to inftrtnfl them in
the diicipline preferibed by Congress, and in order that the
evolutions preferibed by law may be pradlifed. The briga
dier generals will order a company of light infantry 01*
fufiHers to attend each refpe<slive brigade convention of of
ficers, provided and equipped as the law directs such corps
to be.
In instances, however, where manifeft inconveniences
arise in convening the field officers in each brigade, and
when, from various caules, tlie object .cf such convention
cannot be fully aniwered, the brigadier general of each
brigade will, in lieu thereof, adopt such mode as he may
deem bes. calculated for more effectually inftrudting the
field officers in the diicipline preferibed. And the com
mander in chief is impressed with the opinion that the object
can be more generally effected in brigades, where it may
be found inconvenient to convene the field officers, by or
dering the field officers, or officer in each regimental or
battalion chftridl, to attend the adjutant general when the
regimental or Battalion officers are convened, for the pur
pole of being iuftrucled in the diicipline and evolutions.
He will also concert with the several brigade inlpectors
on the moft proper time for convening the relpeclive regi
mental or battalion officers, with the adjutants and firft
ferjeants thereof, for the purpose of inftrucling them in the
said difeipline. And as it is of the greatest ccnfequence
that the privates fliould be particularly taught the duty re
quired of them in the field, the commanding officers of the
relpeclive regiments and battalions are called on to a£l in
concert with the adjutant general and brigade infpedlors,
by ordering regimental and battalion musters at such times
as they may be notified by the adjutant general that he will
attend them for the purpose.
The'adjutant general is required, immediately after he
fiiall have completed his annual tour for the purpose of in
fpetflion, to provide the commander in chief with a return
of the names cf the field and company officers throughout
the state, designating to what regiment and battalion they
are attached, and the name of tlie county.
By order cf the commander in chief,
Jonas Fauche, adj. gen.
IN obedience to the foregoing order the following clays
are fixed on for the review cf the ift brigade of the ill di
vilion, viz. In Effingham, on the 15th day of March;

berty, 011 the 2 2d; in M ( lntolh, the 24th; in Glynn, on
the 26th; and in Camden, the 2d of April, 1802.

A 1 OR] OISE in a garden’s bound,
An ancient inmate of the place,
Had left his winter quarters under ground,
And with a sober pace
Was crawling o’er a sunny bed,
And thrusting from his shell his pretty toadlike head.
Just come from sea, a Swallow,
As to and fro he nimbly flew,
Beat our old racer hollow:
At length he stopt direct in view,
And said, “ Acquaintance, brisk and gav,
llow have you far’d this many a day?”
<£ Thank you!” (replied the close housekeeper)
t£ Since you and I last autumn parted,
I’ve been a precious sleeper,
And never stirr’d nor started;
But in my hole I lay as snug
As fleas within a rug;
Nor did I put my head abroad
Till all the snow and ice was thaw’d.”
“ But I,” (rejoin’d the bird)
“ Who love cold weather just as well as you,
Soon as tk.e warning blast I heard,
Away I flew;
And mounting in the wind,
Left gloomy winter far behind.
Direded by the mid-day sun,
Oer sea and land my vent’rous course I steer’d;
Nor was my distant journey done
Till Afric’s verdant coast appear’d.
There, all the season long,
I chas’d gay butterflies and gnats,
And gave my negro friends a morning song,
And hous'd at night among the bats.
Then, at the call of spring,
I northward turn’d my wing,
And here again her joyous message bring.”
ii Loro! what a deal of needless ranging;”
(Return’d the reptile grave)
U For ever hurrying, bustling, changing/
As if it were your life to save!
Why need you visit foreign nations?
Rather, like me, and some of your relations,
Take out a pleasant half year’s nap,
Secure from trouble and mishap.”
“ A pleasant nap, indeed!” (replied the swallow)
u When I can neither see nor fly,
The bright example I may follow;
Till then, in truth, not 1!
I measure time by its employment,
And only value lite for life's enjoyment.
As good be buried all at once,
As dce cut hall one’s clays, like you, you stupid dunce!”
■ ANECDOTES cf LORD MANSFIELD.
i ,| - , orc.jScd cut in a tawdry suit of laced clothes,
giving in bail before lord Mansfield, serjeant Davy pressed
the Israelite very close, to know whether he was worth the?
sum he swore to, clear of all his debts. The Jew several,
times answered in the affirmative; but ihe serjeant stilt
persisting in his interrogatories, liis lordship turned round
to the serjeant, and exclaimed, u For shame, brother
Davy! How can you teaze the gentleman so? Don’t you
see be would burn for much mere 7”
Seeing some favorable circumstances in a man’s case
who had stolen some trifling trinket, he desired the prose
cutor to value it at taipcnce; on which the other cried,
out, “ Tenpence, my lord! why tlie very fashion of k
cost me ten times the sum.” “ That may be, my friend,”
said his lordship, “ but we must not hang a man for fash
ion sake.”
Being at one time on the home circuit, a man was
brought before him charged with stealing a silver ladle, and
in tlie couise cf the evidence the counsel for the crown was
lather severe upon the prisoner for being an attorney.
u Come, come,” says his lordship in a whisper to the
counsel, “ don’t exaggerate matters; if the fellow had
been an attorney you may depend on k he would have
stolen the bowl as well as the ladle.”
Lcid Mansfield being told of the following motto on
tbs coach cl a very eminent quack, £ * A Nv.mine Salus
thus translated it, God help the Patient.”
A quondam bisphop having very charitably established
an alms house, at his own expence, for tvventv-five poor
women, lord Mansfield was applied to for an inscription
lbr the portal of the house; upon which his lordship took
cut his pencil and.immediately wrote the following:
Under this Roof
he Lord Bishop of
Keeps
No less than twenty-five Women.
When lord Mansfield was first called to the Court of
King’s Bench he gave the following proof of his love of
justice above the quirks ol the law: A certain diligent
book-read advocate had taken up a considerable time of
the court in producing several black-letter cases to prove
the general. CMistrudlion of an old woman’s will. His
lordship heard him with great patience for some time; at
last he interrupted the string of his learning by asking
him, “ Whether he thought the old woman had ever
heard ol these cases, and it not, what common sense and
justice must say to that matter.” He therefore lmmedi
ately gave judgment in favor of common sense against
the importers, to cue full satisfaiflion of the whole court.
