Military Life.
Military life has its hardships and its
trials, which are inseparable from the na
tureof the service. We speak not of the
risks of the field ; the absence from home
and family, so depressing to even the man
liest spirits, or those privations and dis
comforts of the camp which our volunteers
have borne with such rare patience. But
there are other calls upon their spirit of
endurance, the drudgery and manual la
bor so often necessary, the tendium of
sickness, medical neglect, annoyances from
business, to say nothing of the yoke of
discipline, so hard to be hoi rie by men of
tone and spirit. Most of all these trials
the discipline and obedience which is the
soul of the army, and especially the haz
ards of battle, were foreseen by our brave
men when they enlisted. They were wil- 1
ling to pay this juice to win freedom and
repel the invader from their hearths. They
have so far endured everything without a
murmur. They know that to b<3 a good
soldier ft man should not grumble at oc- ,
easional privations. When they went to i
the wars they did not count on having
• o
French coffee, Champaigne wine, the lux
uries of the season, and the sofa to fall
back upon after such a daily repast. They
are quite willing to rough it for a time,
and enjoy their good things after they have
ui ua wniT.tr.
But this spirit shouUl not be practised up
on. Every effort that intelligence and
administrative skill can advise shquld be
resorted to in order to place the supplies
of the army upon such a footing that its j
essential wants shall be in the main ade
quately met and provided for. Brigadiers.
Colonels, Majors, Commissaries, Quarter
masters and Surgeons should not be above
attending to their business it involves a
moderate amount of attention to the beabh
and comfort, of the men —something of j
much more importance than personal e;s- j
play or the gratification of their idle or j
dissipated propensities. It is lamen'abh”
to consider how much of the safety and ‘
happiness of the heroes, whoso lives are
staked on our cause, is dependent, in nm- |
nv instances, upon the conduct and effi
ciency of men who hold the lank ei t ii.-
cers, but who, beyond tlie attiuuie of pei
sonal courage, and perhaps a slight know
ledge of the drill, have not the first quali- j
fication for their important trusts. For
these things the soldiers have often to
thank themselves, or it may be, some
worthless Governor, who steeped in bate
and vulgar partizanship, made his appoint
ments upon an avowed disregard of quali
fications.
But yet another point remains where
something is due to the soldiers. W e re
fer to tlie too common practice of rough- j
ness to the men in giving orders, and ibis j
may be extended to the cases of all offi
cial insolence from a superior to an iuferioj
officer. This practice is by far too com- >
mon in the army. Advantage is taken of
their rank by men destitute of all magna
nimity and frequently without any other
good quality, to practice impertinence to
the men or officers under them. Now, in
the ranks of our brave army there are
numbers of gallant gentlemen, who have
abandoned everything to serve their coun
try, and who have every claim, as gentle
men, to decent and polite consideration I
In very many cases they are the equals or
superiors of their officers, socially, morally, ;
and intellectually. They are not fighting I
for pay or for fame, but from a sense of |
duty to the soil which gave them birth,
and the individual who could wautonh
insult such men under the shelter of bis ;
rank and the law of the camp, by harsh
language or an overbearing manner, is a
i brute and a coward.
Without disparagement to tlie great
body of officers, the large majority of
whom, we are sure, would not stoop to
l the things we have mentioned, and whose
gallantry on every field we are proud to
recognize, we may be permitted to say that
our sympathies in this war go with the
privates. Our heart warms to those noble
e
fellows in ragged uniform and rough grab
shouldering their muskets, encountering
every privation, doing the work and the ■
fighting. With them it is all pure sensei
of duty and love of country. They have
no other motive than patriotism.—
They do not figure in tlie newspapers.—
They have no kind correspondent to chron
icle their exploits. On the contrary, they
are but too happy when they get a bit of
pencil, or a sheet of paper, to write to the I
loved ones at home. The results of their
labour accrues of the officer. They make
the charge in battle which takes the bat- j
tery, and then the officer takes the crcd
it. ‘ !
The case of the officers is altogether dif
ferernt. Their hardships ordinarily are
not great. They can command many lux
uries and comforts which are beyond the
reach of the prvates. They rarely suffer
for necessaries. Fromotion is open to
them. Fame lures them on to noble deeds.
Honor and elevated position, the office of
command, renders it impossible for them
to he otherwise than brave on the field.—
They have a liberal pay, preventing all
disquiet tis to the condition o£ fludg. t-Mal
positions of civil trust and preferment. —
Others, again, may have a life position in
the army. Now, while we believe that
man} of these are acuated by the loftiest
motives which impel human conduct, it is
impossible to assign them the same meed
of praise for self-abnegation as that which
belongs to the volunteer ranks.
For these and may other reasons do we
repiobate the too common habit in the
ram ns of giving orders to the soldiers in a
1 o n
harsh or offensive manner. Such conduct
is pure tyranny. It adds nothing to the
force of the order, nor does it at all inspire
a great or alacrity to obey. The proper
orders of military life, the necessary inter
course of superior with inferior in rank may
always he conducted with courtesy. A
deviation from it shows the same vicious
style in an officer, as it does the practice of
swearing in common conversation, or the
frequent use of capitals by a writer. Em
phasis is not gained by it. It is notice
able that this overhearing temper is rarely
displayed by the graduates of West Point
and the officers of the old army in our
service. They have been brought up in a
different, school, and are too secure as to
their positions, to feel it necessary to re
sort to such practices. They are content
to leave this kind of department to the
greenhorn in military life, who, puffed up
by his rank, conscious of his ignorance and
uselessness, and anxious to hide it, thinks
that by bluster, rudeness and noise he can
make the world believe he is a Terknne
or a Wellington.
Russell on Slavery. —Coirespondent
Russell has favored the London Times
with a special letter, in vindication of him
self from attacks made upon him North
and South. The southern people, he al
leges, denounce him “because I depicted,
or tried to depict slavery, so I found it to
my senses —a cruel, cold, deadly ingrati
tude to God, and the plantation system as
an organized outiage on human nature/’
What unreasonable people we southern
ers must be to speak unkindly of one who
places such an estimate on us and our in
stitutions ! The truth is, Russell is simply
a snob and a coxcomb, conceited as tlie j
d—l and puffed up with London ale and |
senseless flattery. He is about the last j
man that should have been sent to this j
country to form correct opinions and tell i
the truth about anybody or anything.— j

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, )
Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 2,1561. f
I I have credible information that sundry
persons, in the cities of Mobile and Mont
gomery, and oilier parts of the State, are
buying tip the limited supply of the arti
j cles which are indispensihie for the sub
sistence, clothing and maintenance of our
soldiers and people, for the purpose of mo*
j nopolizing the trade in such articles, and
realizing large and unreasonable profits.—
j I deem it my duty to protest in this public
; manner, against such conduct, and pro
nounce it unpatriotic and wicked ; and I
hereby notify all persons authorized to
make purchases for the State of Alabama,
not, under any circumstances, to buy at
the unreasonable prices which may be ex
acted by such persons.
Those who would take advantage of the
necessities of the country and its army to
enrich themselves by such means, cannot,
be regarded as its friends, and will meet
with a merited retribution in due season.
I have no condemnation or rebuke for
merchants who are engaged in legitimate
trade, and only exact just and reasonable
profits. They subserve a purpose of un
questionable usefulness, by procuring and
supplying the things which the people
and the Government need ; and they man
ifest alike their patriotism and integrity
bv continuing to pursue a course of legit
imate trade, uninfluenced by the oppor
tunities for monoply and extortion. It is
due to the community which has patrofi-
izechsucli merchants, as well as to the
| consumption, and in such quantities as
may “be needed for that purpose ; thus
I contributing to defeat the designs of the
harpies, who would speculate upon the
necessities of the times.

Stripling* in tar Army.
The Richmond “Examiner” rightly re
marks that there can be no doubt, but that
! many persons are quite out of their proper
j places in the military service of the Confed
eracy. Boys who should he reading class
ics, are jeopardizing their lives under inex
perienced officers and the wretched sanita
ry condition of our camps. Should this
war last several years, where are we to look
for reinforcements when our youths are al
ready in the. held ? And when peace is
finally attained, where will be our educa
ted men —our literary rank among nations
; while education is now being needlessly
neglected, and mere boys permitted to join
the ranks, because carried away by zeal,
without direction, the novelty of camp life
presenting more attractions to them than
college discipline ? Gymnasiums and
military exorcises combined, with a regu
lar educational course, might do more for
our future than the slight addition of these
young lads to our forces now, and parents
should spare no influence in enforcing the
education of their sons, as a matter of vi
tal importance to the future welfare of
j our country, which must not be lost sight
I of in the excitement of the present.

| Houston’s Portrait of Greele t # - —
! Gen. Houston, in one of his poljical
speeches, gave the following descrip f * on of
the editor of the N. Y. Tribune, tr whom
this continent is indebted as mush as to
any other man in it for the present convul
sions and bloodshed :
“Horace is a most remarkable man ; he
is the whitest man in the world. His skin
is milkwbite ; his hairs white, and these
are scattering. He wears a whitecoat and
a white hat ; and I must be permitted to
give it to you as my candid opinion, that
his liver is of the game color.”
