According to previous announcement, Bishop Haven delivered his lecture on Mexico last night, at the Rep resentative Hall to a considerable audience, ineluding many prominent citizens. Dr. Roach was called to the chair, and introduced the eloquent and gifted speaker, who at once proceeded to give a description of the historic country, Mexico, in an elegant and Im pressive manner. He Lae an easy and graceful delivery and has the magnetic power to enchain au audience. He made many points of great practical importance in relation to this apparently ill-fated country, yet pos sessing unequalled natural advantages. Bishop Haven stated that he resided one winter in the great and ancient City of Mexico—the City of the Montezumas, and found It the most delightful wiuter residence he had ever seen. Had not lived there in the summer. He then proceeded to give in a very comprehensive manner its geographical position and natural advan tages and adaptations. He considered eastern Mexico as the location from whence light and knowledge, the production of good society eminated and obtained on the soil of America its life germ. That it was the first portion of that vafct territory settled by tbe Spaniards and traced its rise, progress, and mutations from tbe time of the landing of the Cortez at Vera Cruz in the year 1519 when the foundation for tbe last uamod city was laid. That the western portion is the land supplied with streams of silver and gold and whose mines have al* ready yielded anch immense quantities of the precious metals. All in all it was a splendid lecture and eminently worthy to be heard, as the subject of it has borne more than her share in wars, revolutions and bloodshed, and has furnished more for the historian to record, and more for the philosopher’s and states man’s attention, than any country of equal tent in modern times. Even, the United States seems to have been troubled several times "on account of Mexico." Let the student of history not fail to in vestigate that of this county. 11 HAZING * AT THE ACADEMY—AN EVIL THAT SHOULD BE ENTIRELY ROOTED OUT—A PLEA FOR THE BTRANGER8.

'Ihe National Board of Fire Underwriters, at tb> late meeting in the City of New York, resolved to raise a fn»d of $100,000 for the detection, conviction and punishment of parties engaged in the nefarious busi ness of incendiarism and arson. The Executive Com rnittee of that Board, at their meeting on May 14th, 1873, carried out the resolution and opened the sub scription. We hall this movement as a step in the right direc tion, and commend tbe action as one not only likely to benefit Underwriters, but also to protect the public frem wholesale loss. This action is the more import ant when it la remembered that the experience of the large companies transacting tha business of fire insu rance in the United States shows that the proportion of loss to be attributed to the above causes is not less than 33 per cent, of the whole, or a loss to the country of at least twenty-five millions of dollars per annum.— Evening Bulletin. The following resolution was unanimously adopted by tbe Atlanta Board of Fire Underwriters, June 10th, 1873: *' Resolved, That the members of the Atlanta Board of Fire Underwriters are hereby pledged that no pol icy written by them after this date shall continue in force longer than the first of the mouth next succeed ing that in which such policy was written, unless the premium therefor be paid in cash.” The members of the Board are: M.

RETURN OF MAJOR CAMPBELL WALLACE—HIS REPORT OF THE WESTERN RAILROAD—PRESIDENT GRANT AT TALLADEGA —A LIBERAL SUB SCRIPTION—THE WORK TO BE PUSHED THROUGH. Onr popular and ssteemed townsman. Major Camp bell Wallace, returned to Atlanta a couple of (lays ago from Alabama, where he has been in the interest of the Western Railroad. Although no longer President of tbe road, Major Wallace's interest in the great work la as keen as ever, and he devotes all bis time and at tention to iL Major Wallace informs ua that it has been definitely decided that the road (ball pass through Talladega. Tbe people of this town are fully alive to tbe impor tance of having the road, and have aobicrlbed the handsove sum of three hundred thousand dollars to wards it. When Major Wallace left Tabadegi, Col. Grant, the new President of the Wostern road, was there busily engaged In locating the line. Work will begin in Alabama immediately, for the ptirpoee of completing twenty miles within the time specified by the law of that State granting a subsidy to railroads. We are glad to learn that Col. Grant is displaying the deepest interest In the work, and is determined to puab It through to an early completion. Notwithstanding the senseless hostility of the present Council of Atlanta, the construction of the road will be continued, and in December next a new Council will be elected which will do something towards retaining to Atlanta the control of this most Important line of railroad. Altogether the prosperity of the Western road con tinues favorable. Ws are glad to report that Major Wallace is in good and as fall as ever of that bonhomme tor which be has always been noted. A. Kovel Idea. W. D. Elite, Esq., in the argument of Ihe case of th6 Rtaie vs. George Beasen, for gaming, advanced the idea that Mr. Van Epps had better indict tbe Presi dent of the gas company for furnishing light to run the machine by. The indefatigable Solicitor will doubtless profit by tbe suggestion. The trial of Thomas G. Jones, who is charged with murder in killing Hilliard Fleming, on Monday night, j THE 2d in&L, consumed the whole day in this court. The examination of witnesses on the part of tbe State was conducted by Solicitor General Glenn, while General Gartrell and Judge D. F. Hammond alternately ex amined witnesses for the defense. The testimony was concluded shortly after six o’clock, and the court adjourned for an hour and a half, when it reassembled, and the arguments were begun. Below we give a summary of the evidence which, while not very elaborate, gives the main facts proven: The first witness introduced by the State was Boyd Fleming, brother of the deceased. He testified that on the night of the homicide, deceasad came to his house, told him to get up and "go out on street and see him have satisfaction." He got up. They came up Walker street to Peters. On the way Hilliard pulled a paling, half inch thick by two inches wide, off fence. Came into Peters street; met Jones and O’Shields. Witness said good evening; they said good evening; don’t think deceased said it; Hilliard struck at Jones with Daling; Jones ran towards the barracks, O’Shieids diagonally across towards Doane’s; both stopped; O’Shields fired; Jones fired; each of them firing two shots, Hilliard said, you’ve killed me. Be fore firing commenced, witness asked them not to shoot. Deceased had a drink or two; neither de ceased nor witness had pistols; neither of them fired. Much other unimportant matter was elicited from this witness. A severe cross examination failed to change mis testimony. J. M. Cook testified that deceased left his bar-room jufct before eleven o’clock ; went across to Castleberry* store; witness closed bar and started home. Deceased called witness; when witness got over there, found deceased, Jones and O’Shields talking about fighting; treated it as a joke at first Heard O’Shielda tell Flem ing he thought he was a negro and Jones say “Hilliard he was mistaken;" Fleming cursed and threatened to kick them. Th**y talked of locking Fleming up. Witness proposed to take him home; carried him down the; street by Lowe’s, within 200 yards of the house, when deceased jerked loose from witness, still cursing and threatening to whip them. Witness went home and saw no more of it. Deceased was intoxica ted and angry. Dr. E. J. Roach testified that deceased came to his death from a pistol shot wound. Ac. Here the State closed, and the defense introduced John O’Shields, who testified that Jones and he had been down to Stewart's bar, made a bet as to time, all took a drink, went np to Blatingame’s to get his cape, did not get it, stopped at Ben Cobb’s steps, left there and went to steps under awning in front of Castleber ry’s store, Jones sat down, witness lay down, in a short time Fleming came across from Cook's with a black bat polled down over his face, stooped and looked at witness, went a few step* away, came back, stooped and looked at us again I told him he had better leave, or he would get kicked.’ He cursed powerfully, called Cook, told Cook a d—d rascal had insulted him. I told him I thought be wa® a negro, and Jones said, “ Hilliard, he was mistaken." He kept cursing. I said, "Let’s lock him up." Jones said, " His cursing don’t disturb anybody; it is late." Cook agreed to take him home, and they started and got down to the alley near Lowe’s. We started to light the lamps; reached the last lamp on tbe corner of Castleberry’s property. Fleming jerked loose from Cook and came back by us; said, “ I’ll learn you how to waylay me, you G—d—d villains;" went across the street and said, "I'll sec you again, you G—d—d ras cals;" he went on towards tbe United States barracks. We stood still two or three minutes, When he had gone short distance he blew a whistle like Police whistle—went further and hallowed loudly. We went towards Barracks, crossing street in flat. Went ont right side of street to Cox’s beyond Bettis’; listened sometime, heard nothing, concluded he had gone home and were glad of it; started back np Street Railroad intending to light lamps—got neariy opposite Bettis’—saw two men coming Into Peters street from Walker street ; they turned and came up to us, had bands behind them ; we said good evening ; Hilliard said : " is that you Tom ?’’ Jones said, “ yea." Hilliard said, " Now, G— d— you, I’ve got you ;" at the same time etriking at Jones with palin?; I caught blow en left shoulder and arm ; not seriously hurt; 1 ran towards Doanes diagonally across street; Jones ran down street R. R. track towards barracks—both Flemings followed him striking at him; I turned and Jones turned at the same time. I saw the flash of a pistol from one of the Flemings and think it was at Boyd. Jones then fired two shot and started to run; I had come up and told him to stop. Hilliard Fleming fell; we went up to Boyd and asked who shot. He said it was “him," pointing to where Hillard was lying. Jones exam ined tbe body for a pistol, and looked round for a pis tol but found none; he did not search Boyd and Flem ing for a pistol. Jones went to the Station Houae to report the occurence; I remained with the body until others came np; Boyd and I examined the houses for bullet marks but found none. Lieutenant Holcombe put me under arrest and canied me to town. Had no acquaintance with deceased. (There was much more of his testimony; this is merely the substance of it.) M. T. Castleberry, L. H. Davis, T. G. Heaiy, S. D. Haslett, R. B. Hutchins, Henry Holcombe and G. B. Stewart testified that deceased was considered a dan gerous man when Intoxicated or excited. Defense closed. The State Introduced Mr. Trotty, whoae testimony varied slightly from that before the Coroner’s inquest as to tbe shooting. Had examined the bullet marks in Garamsge’s house; shota came from different di rections. Geo. Wilcox, (col.) was near Bonus, just this side ol the scene of the homicide—heard four ahots from the side of atreet next Doanes, saw two men near that aide of street tome distance apart. Thos. Croft was a few feet In front of witness Wilcox, heard three or fonr shots, some one exclaimed yov’ve hit me or you’ve killed me—shots fired In rapid succession. Thos, Scott caw impressions of bullets, came from different directions, saw balls said to have been ex tracted from these places, one larger than the other. Frank Ayrea (soldier) corroborates Boyd Fleming’s statement of tbe killing throughout. Said, on cross- examination, he had been down town; took a drink of whisky at Carroll's, and a drink of peach brandy at tbe Clipper Saloon. (Defense afterward proved that the Clipper Saloon had been closed for a month or more, thus contradicting this witness to that extent.) El berry Beeves corroborates Boyd Floming’s ac count of what occurred at Boyd’s house, except that be thinks the language used by Hilliard was, "Get np and go with me, and see that I am not imposed upon." M. B. Gammage testified to appearance of houae, aa to bullet marks, etc., and that Boyd and Fleming ex tracted balls. A diagram of the locality, tbe prisoners’ pistols and bullets were put in evidence by the State, and both parties closed. Tbe prisoner made his statement corroborating O'Shield’s account of tbe matter in every particular. His manner was cool and collected throughout While his statement was being made, sons negro woman disturbed tbe Court by eatiag peanuts, and came near being schooled a little in Court discipline. Intense interest Is felt In the result of the trial—the general impression being that it will result in a verdict of not guilty. The Court room was packed again at night by par- In the Country. PROSPECT IN COBB COUNTY—HARVESTING WHEAT—CORN SILKS—POWDER SPRINGS—AGRI CULTURAL SOCIETY—MINERAL WATER. Eva i Chapel Sunday School. Perhaps of all terrestrial beings the local editor of a newspaper is tbe least adapted to rural scenery, and general rule has the least inclination to traLBfer himself outside the corporate limits of a city, even for brief space of time; bot whether this is a result produced by a proper or improper method of thought or taste is immaterial for the purpose in view. Suffice it to say, that considering ourselves a fortunate ex ception to the general rule referred to, and em bracing with a glad heart and willing mind the opportunity afforded of spending a few days in the country. Cobb, the banner county (by reason of that five hundred dollars obtained ss a premium at the last State Fair, and which every other similar division of Georgia remembers) was made the objective point. Arriving at Marietta, our destina tion—much less predestination—had not been reached and a horse and buggy were called into requisition, to convey us to the quiet village and pleasant summer retreat, Powder Springs. There on Saturday evening last Wc found the Powder Springs Agricultural Society, of which that excellent gentleman, Judge A. C. McIn tosh, Is the President, in session and considering im portant business relating to the agricultural interests of the country. This is one of the finest farming sec tions in Cobb county, and there has been a profound and extensive awakening of the people on the subject of progress, improvement and succeas iu agriculture. Hence the existence of this clnb, which is composed of the bone and sinew of the country. At this meet ing it was resolved to hold a Fair at Powder Springs on Thursday, the 24th day of July next. The neces sary committees, including one on general manage ment, were appointed, and will forthwith take such action in the matter as may be necessary to render it an occasion worthy of the community in whose midst it is to be held. A premium list will be prepared and submitted in ample time. This reporter was honored with a call to address the farmers in Convention as sembled, but of course, for the best of reasons, de clined. We were pleased to find the Herald, both daily and weekly, popular and a favorito in this intel ligent community. The crops generally are quite promising and if there shall be a sufficient cessation of rain, to give time and opportunity to clear them of the grass and weeds, tbe yield will be abundant, judging from present indica tions. The contest of the farmer with the growing grass, though successful in most ins ances, has been “warm," calling into vigorous exercise all liis physi cal and mental powers. But few crops are : dangerous condition. Cotton, corn and oats arc fine, while there is not more than two-thirda of an average crop of wheat. There is comparatively but a small portion of corn planted throughout the connty, but a few small patches of an early variety, we discov ered silks. Wo also noticed that several fields of wheat had been harvested. Tbe fruit crop is bounti ful—all that could be desired. Tbe medicinal properties of ihe water of these justly celebrated Powder Springs, (of which there are three), are known throughout the State, and during the summer season, invalids from different sections rosign themselves to its healing powers. A want of ample hotel accommodations only prevents this from becoming at once a great resort, and as the Georgia Western runs within a few miles, we apprehend that when completed, all needed improvements will be made, and a* the analysis proves it to be as good min eral water as any in the State, and as it ia nearer At lanta than any except those in the suburbs of the city, the patronage of our people can, to a certain extent, be thrown in this direction. In Marietta a gentleman cognizant of tho facts and acquainted with the parties on which tbe interroga tory is based submitted to us the following proposition, which, aa we don’t feel selfish enough to appropriate to our own exclusive use, we give to the readers of the HeiKald: "Their grandfathers are brothers, their grandmoth ers sisters, their fathers double cousins, their mothers sisters. How arc the children related to each other." The children now reside in Marietta. The city clock at this place of which the Journal has said so mnch recently can bo seen in the city by ascendiug a ladder to its top, or by climbing a telegraph pole, so we are informed by those who have tried It. We neglec ted while in the city to adopt this method, and couldn’t see it, and didn't see it. But then it is a good clock, and answers fully all the pur poses for which it was designed, and we congratulate the good people of Marietta on having procured its timely service, and as the aforesaid climbing consti tutes no untimely adoration wo withdraw all objec tions to it. The members of this young and flourishing School will pic-nic at West End on Saturday next, at which time it Ib proposed by them to recompense in pleas ure, real and unalloyed, tbe short delay in regard to the matter of reunion, refreshment and recreation. This Is a splendid school from Superintendent down, and we predict that ordinarily whatever they under take will be accomplished. Mrs. A. McCormick’s Millinery establishment, on Whitehall street, Is now supplied with all the latest style good8, and the ladies of Atlanta will find it to their interest, in every respect, to examine her stock.

Gate City Band’s Picnic at West End. From early dawn yesterday morniDg till midnight the street cars on that line were srowded with passen. gers to and from the picnic and entertainment given by the Gate City Band at Wett End. The festivities of the day began at an early hour, and wero kept up almost without cessation until late in the ening. Of course.thc best of music from that best of bands, constituted a very important and interest ing feature, cheering the melancholy and relieving the of all thoughts of the horrors of the cholera. The splendid platform was used for dan- ig, which progressed until five o’clock in- the evening, when the concert came off. This was indeed the cream ef the day as it was one of the live liest and most soul stiring affairs that has coino be fore us for several days, aud it was witnessed and enjoyed by a largo audience of Atlanta’s first class citizens. Several Aldermen were seen on the grounds during tho day aud at times on the platform erected especially for the benefit of those who feel an interest in the wel* fare of tho city—who are legion. Through the evo ning the crowd continued up to the usual standard, and it is doubtless a source of gratification to the members of tbe Gate City to know that their musical tilent and taste in getting up such an entertainment were appreciated by tha people, and that the picnic was in fact, wbat it deserved to be, a brilliant success.

They are laying rails in Florence in order to convey in safety Michael Angelo’s statue of David from its unprotected site in front of the Palazzo Vechio, where it has stood for 350 years, to the imperial gallery. Governor Parker, in a recently published letter, says he is satisfied that, in many parts of New Jersey, injustice is done in tho prac tical enforcement of the tax laws, and that some men of large property do not pay on what they are worth. In justice to those who are disposed to pay their just proportion of the public charges, ho adds, the evil should be remedied. A clergyman in Davenport, Iowa, exchang ed pulpits with a pastor in a not distant city a few Sundays ago, and meeting at the rail road crossing they had a brief chat together. They carried satchels just alike, and when the car-bell rang, each caught up olc and started for the train, to find on reaching their destinations that they had exchanged satchels j and sermons. Rev. John F. W. Ware’s text for his sermonl before the Boston Ancient and Honorables, Monday, was “Citizen of no mean city;” and one of the local papers says: “He passed to a glowing analysis of the true sources of Bos ton’s reputation in the past and its strength in the present. He finds them all embraced in the character of its citizens—neither its local ity, its commerce, its laws, its ancestry, nor any other thing having had any influence to be compared with this.’’ The Secretary of Illinois Board of Fublic Charities says there are over 3,000 insano per sons in that State. He says: “Tho census- takers reported 1,000 and failed to find about 1,400 of this number. The physicians.report- ed 2,300 and failed to report about 700 to the Board of Charities. But tho testimony of tho census-takers to the existence of those unre ported by physicians is perfectly reliable, and tho testimony of physicians to the existence of those unreported by the census-takers is equal ly worthy of confidence.” A reporter for a Western paper, speaking of a certain fair creature, remarked that “profu sion and color of her hair would lead ono to look upon it as though it was spuu by tbe nimble fingers of the easy hours, as they gli ded through tho bright June day, whose many sunny rays of light had been caught iu tbe meshes, and were contented to go no farther.” This is better than saying the girl’s hair was red. The gentlemen of England who last year so earnestly debated the efficacy of prayer, ought to read this short story, which comes from Decatur, 111. A preacher of that place who had been blind for sixteen years, and for whom tbe medical men could do nothing, at last strenuously prayed for his sight, aud “in one moment it was fully and permanently re stored.” A brother clergyman relates this tale, but strangely enough withholds tho man’s name, “to save the feelings of the family." The prosperous undertaker of a neighbor ing town is a shoemaker by trade, and an ac quaintance calling on him a few days sinoe was surprised to find Special Correspondent New York Times. West Point, Jane 6, 1873. Aware of the comparatively recent order of the War Department by which it was made a very serious matter lor a Weet Point cadet to be detected amusing himself at the one-sided sport called “hazing,” oug might expect to find that this abuse had been almost entirely abolished, more especially at the present time, when the Honorable Secretary of War is him self a guest at the Point. But it is not in human nature —or in boy nature, at least—to let slip an opportunity to have a little fun by annoying ono who is friendless in a strange place, and whom we know is at our mercy; and there is probably not a large school in the country, either civil or military, where “hazing” does not exist to some extent. That it is still practised here— though in a much milder form than a few years ago—I have abundant reason for be lieving, having taken some pains to talk with tbe unqualified “plebe*’' who have just left here, and with those that remain; and as I know that the Secretary of War has expressed himself as very anxious to root out all remains of this once serious evil, a few words upon the subject cannot be out of place, especially as tho victims will talk unreservedly to a civil ian, while the pride which all spirited boys have will prevent them from “telling tales” by complaining to Superintendent linger or any of tho other officers. It is this dread of being considered tell-tales, and the knowledge that their tormentors do not really mean them any serious harm, that keeps the “plebes” si lent; and although none of them have auy very dreadful disclosures to make, the public should know that “hazing” still exists, and that the unfortunate new-comer is still sub jected to a series of petty annoyances and lit tle persecutions which arc very unpleasant to him, to say the least, and which should not be tolerated in a great national institution like the West Point Military School. Take, for illustration, tho experiences of a good-natured-looking Western lad, told me in a half-laughing manner, and without any of the exaggeration which bad temper might indulge [ in. After reporting bis arrival to the Adjutant he was told to repoit also to one of the cadet officers. At this young gentleman’s quarters the novice was sharply told to come in, and as ho obsequiously entered the room, hat in hand, was jumped at by the cadet “as though be would eat me,” to use the “plebe’s” ex pression, and ordered out again with the remark, “we don’t allow any bats in here, Sir.” After dropping his hat, and being ordered to pick it up again aud place in a corner two or three times, the new comer was made to repeat again and again the form of reporting his arrival, because he neglected to address the cauet as “Sir,” and after being made to stand attention—a tire some position to the unitiated—and taught the’military salute, with much abuse for his awkwardness, the young “plebe” was next ordered to accompany two others and report his arival to another cadet, using the expres sion “with two other beasts,” the zoological term being one of the pet names by which a novice is addressed by the veterans of the fourth class. His luggage had, in the mean time, been taken possession of and spread out on tbe floor, some oranges aud other edi bles being confiscated by the cadet and his friends, amid various jeering remarks. While on his way with tlie two others to report to the second cadet, he accidently slipped on a step, and was ordered back to the first young gentle man’s room and made to stand attention with his nose against the wall, “for making un necessary noise,” in company with about a dozen other unfortunates. After standing until he was very tired, tho lad was ordered to go and commit to memory paragraph three hundred aud something of the regula tions. Failing to get it exactly verbatim, he was repeatedly sent back. By every cadet who met him he was put through certain un comfortable motions aud sharply reprimanded and abused, so that ho enjoyed but little rest. Ho slept on the floor with other candidates,and in the morning all were compelled to pile up tho bedding with a mathematical nicety, only to have it knocked down again and again by the cadets, one after tho other, who ordered them to replace it. He was ordered to go and take a bath and report again in exactly fifteen minutes, aud he and the others were sent upon various errands, with orders to be back in au impossibly short time, not knowing that the cadet officers had no right to enforce obedi ence to such silly commands, and no power to inflict punishment if they were not performed, Ithe unfortunate becoming fagged out with the useless tasks imposed upon him. All the “plebes” with whom I spoke com plained of numberless little persecutions and indignities, and even at the drilling called “setting up,” which is legitimate military training, tbe commands are given and the criticism aud reprimands uttered in a manner which is very galling to a boy of any spirit. If a “plebo” is caught away from his quarters he is put through au absurd catechism, and if ho is as timid as many studious boys are, he prob ably supposes that unless he answers every question a drum-head court martial or shoot ing on tho spot will bo the immediate result. A favorite amusement is to approach a plebe iu a swaggering, bullying manner, and after making him stand attention, salute his “su perior” or perform some other military ges ture, demand iu a savage tone, “Are you a fighting man, sir ?” If the frightened stranger timidly answer, “No sir,” bis questioner de mands, “Then wliat do you mean, sir, by coming here? We want fighting men, sir; go home and hoe corn.” If the “plebe” is more courageous, and dares to answer “yes,’ his tormentor will answer, “Very well, sir; you shall have enough to do,” at the same time assuming a belligerent attitude, and in viting him to “come out and begin on me.”| Master Fred Grant, it is said, had to go through a whole class “on his muscle.” Some of the tricks played on the poor “plebes” display a fine sense of humor, and one’s first impulse is to laugh at the many comical stories that are told at the expense ol r the “plebes,” even while realizing the neces sity of preventing tho manifestation of snch mischievousness in the future, and affording better protection for the new-comers. There is a keen appreciation of satire in compelling some happy and misera ble “plebe” to dance and sing, “Oh ! I just feel as happy as a big sun flower,” but it is not the less reprehensible; and there may be something funny iu forcing a disgusted plebe to make a spreap-eagle speech highly eulogis tic of West Point in general, and the cadets iu particular, or to staud on one leg and chant the Doxology, while ho feels more in the humor for profanity, but it is at the same time very wrong. Many instances of this form of “hazing” might be cited, but the above are enough to answer the purpose of this letter, which is merely to show that this evil is not entirely eradicated from the national training-school of our soldiers, not to criticise the officers of tbe school, who probably do the best they can under the present system, nor ignore the fact that the abuse has been greatly * lessened aud the condition of the “plebes” much better than in former years. Increased surveillance is nec essary to protect the candidate for admission, and it should bo part of tho education of the young cadets that a true soldier must be a per fect gentleman; that a model officer is as chiv alrous as he is brave; that it is his duty to shield, not to assault, tho unprotected; and that those who are to be their fellow-soldiers should be treated with courtesy at least.
