Every principle of duty and of honor, every emo tion of virtue and of rage, every induce ment of interest and of pride, concurs to bid our men battle as men have never bat tled before. Soldiers, you cannot afford to be beaten ! You are compelled to con quer! We must win our battles ! Shiloh must he repeated wherever hostile ban ners meet. And you can conquer ! You are courageous and you are skilful and strong! A fine spirit pervades you. k ou have been camping and marching and counter-marching. Battle is the end of all these things. If you lose the battle, you lose all your suffering and toil in cam paigning. If you win, you have got your reward! Go into battle with the deter mination to win, and you will win. Think of the honor and the glory of success! A country saved, and all its people praising you ! The poets putting your deeds in verse, and the maidens singing them ! Think of the deep disaster, and the shame of defeat. Families dying, the enemy ad vancing, robbing, burning, oppressing !— I Link how the vulgar mobs of Northern cities will roar with joy, how their jubilant cannons will thunder and their windows blaze ! And a victory won over their con querors at Manassas ami at Leesburg and their associates, what a special happiness it would be to them ! llow they would ring the changes and prolong their rejoic ings ! How they would show the captives to Northern mobs, to be hissed and insult ed by them ! Army of the Potomac, you do not intend to lose your laurels now ! You cannot afford it. It would he worse than death for a soldier to feel that he had helped to make this Northern holiday! ing its impulse, the foot, the whole -frame jarred ; a great effort being required at each step to give the bod}" its lost motion. If glide is the word for the first, jerk is that for the last. The order to fall in should be obeyed with the utmost promptitude by every one. An officer should "see to it that care less men do not keep others waiting; the men should be made to see that this is one of the bad effects of a want of ready obe dience. Fall ing Out.— If a man has permission, and is compelled to fail out, his arms a*nd pack should he carried by his comrades to enable him more easily to overtake them ; and they will see to it if one is habitually slow to come up A Slight Indisposition.—If a man is slight ly unwell, it may he better for an officer to have him relieved of his pack, etc., for part cf a day, rather than to have him in the hospital wagon, pack and all, the next. The officer commanding should thor oughly select the ground, as to water, ect., as well as the times for his halts. From the Richmond Dispatch April I DM.

Va., April 20.—A large Feder al force, supposed to be about 5,000 strong, landed on the Pasquotak river, in Camden county, and near Elizabeth City N. O., yesterday, and were attacked by Col. A. li. Wright, Third Georgia Reg iment and Capt Ferrobee's Militia Com pany, at 1 o’clock P.M. Our small force fought with great bravery. The Feder al loss was heavy; that of the Confeder ates was 0 killed, including Captain Mc- Comas; of HenningseD's Battery, Wise Legion and Lieut, Wilson, of the Third Georgia Regiment; 16 wounded, and mis sing. The battle continued for five hours. Col. Wright retired from the field at mid night and fell back to the Halfway House on the Dismal Swamp Canal, a very stiong position, where lie has been reinfor ced.

If we can make this campaign what we wish and what we hope, it will Le our last. If it suffice to convince our enemy that he cannot conquer us ; that his efforts to put his debt on us are but making it larger for himself; he will hesitate, halt, forsake the war. Then we will have peace ; till then we shall have no peace. Such is the work tlirt we have before us. The war will last till this work be done.

At tills time, when so many of our sol- diers are on the march, the following sug gestions, from the Charleston Mercury, will be useful and instructive in pointing out how to prepare for the march, and the various rules and modes of contributing to their relief and comfort on the way- side : Shoes.-—The shoes should have broad thick soles and low heels, with soft upper leather.

T he troops that were in and near the place, very few in number, and utter ly indequate to make a defence against a considerable force evacuated Fredericks burg after having performed the duties required of them. Many of the citizens also left, abandoning their property to the “tender mercies” of the enemy. On the night previous some small skir mishes took place above Falmouth in which the enemy was repulsed; but our men afterwards fell back. Mr. Charles Tacket, of Stafford, was taken prisoner, and we hear that one or two were killed. A wounded Yankee was captured by our pickets and sent down by the train yes terday morning but he died before reach ing Ashland. This man stated that the Federal force amounted to six thousand; and that they approached Fredericksburg from Fauquier county. Our late advices inform us that the Common Council of Fredericksburg held a meeting yesterday and agreed to sur render the place, there being no possible means of defence. The telegraph opera tor packed up his apparatus and left the place. The train that left Richmond yesterday morning was stopped this side of Freder icksburg by a railroad agent. A regiment of troops were stationed some seven miles from the place and the sick in the camp were placed on board the train. All the men retired in safety. The enemy can easily occupy the town of Fredricksburg, if he has not already done so; hut an advance to Richmond from that direction is probably not contempla ted. The obstruction would not he easily overcome. Most of the rolling stock of the railroad was removed. Nothing was left behind hut a few cars, and measures were pro gressing to have them taken to a place of security. Little importance is attached to the oc cupation of Fredericksburg, as it was an event anticipated when the army of the Potomac was withdrawn,—There is noth ing the fact of the occupation to excite any alarm, or to create the expectation that tbo ofeiny will advance my great distance into the interior. He will, perhaps, remain where he has found a lodgment for some time to come, unless our forces succeed at an early day in dri ving him back beyond the Potomac. The Health of our Camps—How to Pre- rent Disease.— When men who have been accustomed to the comforts of home enter upon the duties of the camp, they are sub jected to certain changes in their habits of life, which quietly predispose them to disease. Their diet is changed not so much perhaps in the articles used, as in their quality and the manner of preparing them. Meat is fried instead of being boil ed or roasted, and thus rendered less di gestible hut a still greater mistake is made in their bread.—Flour imperfectly cooked and without beingmade light by the use of yeast, not only impairs the tone of the di gestive organs, hut supplies the system vrltli only a portion of its nourishing qual ities- Disrelish follows indigestion and thus less food is consumed. Especially is this the case it the bowels become deranged, which is very likely to happen. In the midst of these difficulties, the soldier is apt to resort to the use of inordinate quan tities of strong drink, m which completes the train of evils, and he becomes an in- It only remains for us to press on this The rule should he, rest must precede mate of the hospital, tremendous war !

Suffering and loss of health from From tiie Mobile Register Sc Advertiser. Particulnrs of the Evacunlion of Inland IV#. lO. Memphis, April 16.—Memphis papers of Saturday contain an account of the evacuation of Island No. 10 by the Confed erate troops. A gunboat and tug passed down during the storm on the 4th, silenced our battries below and landed a force on the east side of the river. This movement made the evacuation of the Island by our forces a military necessity. The Island was evacuated on Tuesday, 8th inst. Our guns were spiked and all the-transports hut two were scuttled and sunk, and our men tried to escape. Out of a force of about fifteen hundred, one third were captured, including all of the 1st Alabama, except about one hundred and forty men. Col. Steadman was sick, and was car ried four miles, and left in a house on the road. Those who escaped suffered great ly in water and from hunger. I have seen two Alabamians who es caped from the Island, hut they cannot give the names of the captured men. It is repoted that the enemy are falling back down the Tennessee. [ The foregoing is in part old news, but it is the first direct and authentic state ment we have received of the loss of Is land 10- The rumor of the evacuation was current a week ago, but was afterwards denied, and we have since Northern reports affirming the captured of the Island. To settle the matter, we telegraphed our cor respondent, who has just returned to Mem phis, and sent us the facts. The above is his reply.—Eds.] A Twenty-Four Sliooler. Dr? J. G. Patterson of this place, has laid upon our table, a Pistol which he has invented, that we regard the ne plus ultre of revolvers. It is a Twenty-Four Shooter constructed upon so neat a scale, that we can carry it in our vest pocket with little inconvenience. It has two tiers of tubs with twelve tubes in each tier, and so arranged that all the chambers can he tired without halting, except to depress the barrel, which is done in an instant, preparatory to the discharge of the second circle of chambers. The Dr. has determined to put up a Rifle upon the same plan, which in the hands of our army in the absence of can non, could never be conquered! Each soldier might carry 2 or 3 loaded cylinders extra in his pocket, and when one round of 24 shots was fired, he could atach anoth er cyllinder in a moment, and continue his firing. The inventer has made application to the Confederate Government for a patent. [ Marion (X. C.) Enterprise. What a Soldier’s Knapsack should con tain.—The official regulations in Louisiana enumerate as follows: “One blanket, one shirt, one undershirt, one pair of drawers, three pairs of 6ocks, one pair of shoes, one towel, one tin cup, one tin pan or plate, one knife and fork, one cake of soap, one handkerchief, a piece of oil cloth to use under the blanket, and nothing else. No token of friendship, no daguerreotypes, no books are allowed. But we don’t suppose there would be any objection to a hair brush, a comb, a tooth brush, a box of blacking, a shoe brush, a little looking glass, scissors, with thread, needles and pins. We suppose many ladies will be called upon to pack the knapsacks of their volunteering friends. Let them make a note of the above. Muskets against Rifes-—-A young man, who was in the midst of the fight atDonel- son, tells us, that, in the beginning, the enemy shot, as rapidly as we did ; but, after an hour or two, we fired twice to their once ; and, before the battle was ended, we shot three times to their once.— The reason of the difference was, that tho enemy used rifles, which became foul and very difficult to load; while our man had muskets. This is a very important differ ence in favor of the musket, and may de-. cide the fate of empire. Muskets at short range, from 50 to 150 yards—the shorter the better, are the best weapons yet invented. The short range car. generally be obtained by having an eye to the ground.— Richmond Whig. Castor Oil.—The New Orleans Cres cent furnishes following directions for the preperation of this delicious bever age: Strip the seeds of their husks or pods ; then bruise them in mortars. Afterwards they are to be tied in linen bags, and boil ed in water until the oil which they con tained rises to the surface. This is care fully skimmed off, strained, to free it from any accidental impurities, and bottled for use. Pressed castor oil is obtained like almond oil, by brusing the seeds into paste with water, and distilling the mix ture, when the oil passes over.
