Residing Matter on every Psige. From the Richmond Examiner. 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 Snv. H^p. Gov. Moore on the Speculators- 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. A. 1). Moore. 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.
