which they, pass feed thcih ; .'and when
night comes tho ground is their bed. . And.it
is curious to observe how the perfection of the
. arts of arms, in modern times, causes a return
to these simple practices of barbarians.
As the world became civilized armies were
provided with tentd. A camp is likp a city or
white c roofs, which, as the host moves on dis
appears from one valley in the ,and t
ro-rippftArS in at night, ns if by magic.
But it is a magic with labor in it, and is ac
complished only with a large outlay of time
md toil.
Napoieon, Avho revolutionized everything
in war, revolutionized this. He left the camps
and the long lines of heavy and slow moving'
wagons behind. His soldiers built their fires
whore they halted; the foragers swept the
ciinntry for provisions ; supper and bed were
improvised beside the blaze ; and in the morn
ing, at the sound of the drum and trumpet, the
array , rose to its feet ns one man, ready for
the march. There was no camp to take care
of; and’the legions of the Conqueror 'Were
on the enemy while ho was rubbing his eyes
open or cooking bis breakfast. ■
Napoleon’s innovations were ; initialed by
the rest of Europe; and the night bivouac
particularly has become the practice of all
modern armies that find quick and unencum
bered movements necessary or advantageous.
There is something picturesque and 'sublime
in it. The long Imcs of fires , flickering
and glowing in the night; the groups of
tired soldiers, their free and easy attitudes
thqir arms on the ground ready to be-caught
up at any instant; the simple faro, the men
cooking their supper,. the long stretching
shadows and tlio back-ground of darkness—■
tvho cannot imagine all this ? -Then the vast
multitude slumbers as ,pno man; only the
sentinels keeping watch. The trees shelter
some, and some lie in their blanket under the
stare. And thousands all around are dream
ing—some of home, some of battle and victo
ry, some of partings that were painful, or of
future meetings that shall bo full of joy—till
suddenly the trumpet sounds; and all that
host rises, from the earth, and the stern reali
ties of the march, the fight, the terrible roar
and whistle of death, take the place of dreams.
Interesting Incident. —Tho Georgetown
(D. G.) correspondent of the Boston Journal,
relates qu adventure.,of Zouave,
flying from the battle of Bull Run:
After receiving his wound, it bled to such
a degree as to excite thcsympathy of d mount
ed officer, who offered the soldier his horse.—
The retreat had hot yet begun, and the. sold
ier rode from the battle field in this direction.
Soon after he noticed the general stampede,
and putting spurs to his horse, flew along in
advance of the . rest. But loss of blood soon
persuaded him to try the charity of tho first
farm house he came to. Dismounting at the
gate, a lady ran out to meet him. The sight
of his bloody face' .and, clothes excited her
sympathies, and with tearful eyes she asked
him to enter tho house. He did so. and she
bathed his face, and dressed his wounds.
When she had done all she could for him, she
asked him “ if ho was not sorry he had home
to fight the South, and if he would engage in
another battle ? ” “ Most certainly, madam,
if I live through this,” was the reply. 41 How
can you be so infatuated T ” said she. ’ 44 But
you must not stay longer, or you will be ta
ken. I have lost a son by the war. lam the

arrival of the Minnesota wKH the Hatteras
The tlnitoty States steam frigate Minnesota,
flag officer Stringham, from Hatteras Inlet,
which place she left on the Ist inst., arrived
at New York on Monday, and anchored in the
North River. She has on board 671 prison
ers, taken during the late engagement at Fort
Hatteras. Among the prisoners are forty
five officers of the Confederate army and navy.
The Now York Times soys:
During the passage to this port tho prison
ers, both officers and privates, have been per
mitted as much liberty as the nature of tho
circumstances allowed. They have, in fact,
had full liberty of the decks, within certain
striated limits, and the rebel officers have
had nothing to complain of in the way of un
necessary harshness or restraint. The crew
of the ship wore armed with cutlasses and
boarding pistols, two twelve-pound howitzers
were placed in position aft, so as to rake the
deck in case of an attempt at revolt, and tho
officers on duty carried their side arms and
pistols. The whole force of marines were al
so kept on guard, so that there was no chance
for a surprise.
.The conduct of the prisoners, with few ex
ceptions, was such as led to the belief ttiat
they wore not displeased, with their capture.
Their condition and fare at the Hatteras forts
were anything but comfortable, and many of
them assert that they were forced to take up
arms and to fight against their will..
The Minnesota, never made a prouder ap
pearance than when she passed through the
Narrows, with tho hroad blue pennant of the
flag officer .floating at the foremast and the'
stars and stripes at tho peak. She paused but
a few moments at quarantine, and then came
up to the city, and anchored off the Battery.
The rebel officers gazed with admiration upon
the beautiful scenery of the bay, and the sol
diers also admired the prospect from the gun
ports.- The only object which seemed to im
press them unfavorably was Fort Lafayet'.o,
whose frowning walls they passed within so
short a distance that they might almost have
seen tho, faces of some; familiar friends who
are confined within its walls, -
The men are-dressed in gray, with felt hats
pf all varieties, giving th~m a rough appear
ance.: There has also been an evident lauk of
soap and razors, and. a large majority a o
barefooted or nearly so. . They have been but
four days on board, and, most of them being
yonng and. athletic men, do hot appear to
have suffered in health. The statement that
they were in many cases compelled to take
up arms to save their lives is not credited by
the officers of the. ship. There are anion
.them men! of all ages and condition, from tho’
tar-boiler to the' merchant and aristocratic
slaveholder, and from boys, of fifteen to men
with-gray hairs. They manifest much anxi
ety as to their particular destination, and
seem to , look forward to a long aad perhaps
dreary confinement.
The officers wore a dress of blue flannel or
cloth, deeorated'with stripesond bu:tons.and
..unlike those worn in,the United States Navy.
They octSSpied tliCt a&fpait of the ship.‘ntcir,

The United States frigate Potomae saluted
the Minnesota,- juatjis she was about coming
to anchor; with 15 guns—a commodore’s sa
lute. The French Imperial yacht, the French
war steamer Catinet, and the United Stat ",
steamer Vixen, lowered their flags, and the
Minnesota dipped heirs in return. Hundreds
of persons were attracted to the Battery by
the sound; of the guns, and for a time tho
greatest delight was manifested at the arrival
of the prisoners. Boats by the score were
immediately chartered to go off and take a
nearer view of the vessel, or, if .possible, t)
go on board. The latter privilege, however,
was very [ properly denied to every comer, it
being determined to allow no communication
with tho prisone,..
• Coinmodo.ro Strlngham landed at about ten
o’clock, and-was greeted with three cheers as
he stepped ashore. He proceeded immedi
ately to comma ilcato With the government at
Washington, as to what disposition should be
made of the prisoners. ■lt is supposed that
the officers will bo.assigned quarters at Fort
Lafayette, and that.the soldiers will be.sent
to Fort Schnvlcr. .
[J. G. Saxe,
Napoleon’s yacht saluted the commodore
as he left his ship to land, which was return

of the Catinet also went on board the Minne
sota, and congratulated the officers oh the suc
cess of the expedition. ,

was born in 1804, and was the first child in
America who was named after Andrew Jack

West Point. He was a

all of which he consumes at homo, and is thus
able to market about $70,000 worth of cattle
per year in Now York. His stock-on hand
of horses mules, hogs and fat cattle is said to

Dissolved in Tears. —The correspondent
ot aii Agusta paper says, that 44 Ely, the Re
publican Congressman, who is in durance
vile, was visited a few days ago by Messrs.
Keitt, Bocock and Pryor, who informed him
that they called on an errand of mercy, ana
were desirous of doing something to better
his condition, provided that it did hot con
flict with the military regulations. Mr. Ely,
shedding tears, flung his arms around them,
and said that he had often heard of Southern
chivalry, but he was now able to appreciate
it fully.”
. Days Getting Shorter. —The days are get
ting shorter—percoptably so—not only by the
ordinary course of nature, but the cool morn
ings make sleeping so exceedingly comforta
ble that nearly every person feels disposed to
loose half an hour m a snooze. Blessed bo
the man that invented sleep, says Sancho
ta. it is a glorious institution, and
blessed be the man, say we, who invented
mornings, for they enable us tp take a de
coction of sleep that is worth nine hundred
and ninety-nine times more than the dirty
worm which the early bird is supposed to
catch.

SERENADE TO HON. JOSEPH HOLT, OF REN-
REMARKS OF MR. HOLT AND MR. EVERETT.
The citizens of Boston gave expression last
evening to tho sentiments ot high respect
which they en tertain for the Honorable Joseph
Holt, individually, and as a son of tho nobio
State of Kentucky, by a very enthusiastic de
monstration in front of the -Treihoiit House.
It having been- r’-nounced that;Mr. Holt
would bo serenaded during- tjiq livening, a
large number of persons began t 6 assemble at
an early hour, and by nine o’clock there was
an immense gathering. The streotffor a con
siderable distance on either side Was crowded,
and the balcony of Tremont Temple, and ail
the prominent points in; the vicinity were
covered With Indies and.gentlcmon', dll anxious
to see and do honor to tho distinguished ora
tor. Shortly after 9 o’clock Gilmofes’s Band
appeared on the sidewalk,'and played the
“ Star Spangled Banner/’ Fire" Works wore
set off fro- 1 tho roof of the hotel, and colored’
lights .wove displayed so as to'.give the speak
ers a splendid view of the assemblage.
Mr. II It descended the steps about half-past
0 o’clock, with the Committee’ of Arrange
ments, and Ids appearance was the signal for
enthusiastic applause. Hon. Edward Everett
then welcomed Mr. Holt to ’Boston, in the
following Words:
Mr. Holt, I have been requested, on behalf
of my fellow citizens, to expresSi-to you the

They witnessed, with warm approval, ifj the
closing , days of the late Admmistrrtion, the
manner in Which you, showed yourself one of
'the few “ faithful found among the faithless,”
[ Applause and cries of “grind.” ] You con
ducted one of the most important Departments
of tlio Government with equal vigor and cour
age; literally, strengthening the, things that
remained; at the time When the very sinews
of war had boon cut in advance by your pre
decessor, secretly plotting the overthrow of
the Government ho was swornto support,
and whoso; daily bread he was .-toting, and
preparing, as far as possible, dbr tile seizure
of the National Capital. ’ [“Thttfe'So." ) By
the judicious arrangement o¥%iurself and

[ Prolonged cheering.]
At the conclusion or Mr. Everett’s remarks,
cheers wore given for Mr. Holt, the State
of Kentucky-, with great enthusiasm. After
the band had performed a patriotic air, Mr.
Holt stopped forward, and was received with
warm applause. Ho said:
SPEECH OP HON. JOSEPH HOLT.^
Follow citizens, I came to. Boston, as do
many American travelers, not merely to look
upon the city, beautiful in itself—upon its
monument, and upon those magnificent land
scapes in which as a jewel it is set—hut also
to revive, if haply I might, the glow of my
patriotism- amid the thrilling associations that
cluster around this cradle of the revolution.
[Cheers and cries of “good.”] Hero arc
gardens of memories which can never, never
liiae their fragrance; here are altera whose
fires, though kindled in behalf of human
'rights nearly a century ago, have waxed only
the brighter for the which
they have burned. No trilo con of the repub
lic can press the soil of Bunker hill without
having his voneratmn for your groat ancestors
deepened and exalted, and without feeling
his vows of devotion to the country strength
ened and renewed. [pheers.]
I was mr'-ing, and desired to make, most
quietly my journey, little thought, and little
expected, to attract attention here;' and it is,
therefore, With emotipns of greatfulsurprise I
look upon that co.dial and go- orpua welcome
with which you now honor 1 me. Uiioonoious
as I am of having said or done aught to de
serve this marked token of yOui'confidence and
favor, still I bdgyou to.'be assured that lam
most greateful for it. The .strains of. your
music and the shouts of your welcome
will linger in the ears of-my heart - ldng
after they shall have been forgotten by
yourselves. [Applause.].
I am thankful for that most earnest, that
most eloquent, the ntostflajtoring recognition
which iu your name has,boon given, of my
fidelity to our common country, under circum
stances of peril and of’triah Most grateful,
too, am I for that friendly, that kindly allusion
to my native State, Kentucky [ cheers for
Kentucky, ] whose star; so long obscured by
the baleful influences of unfaithful men, is
now preparing to shine forth in the strength
and lustre-of other days.. [Applause, and
opies of “good,” “ good.!’],
Kentucky has assumed her present position
under no prompting of passion, but calmly
and deliberately, after careful review of the
whole field bf controversy: and iu view of all
the gloom and perils that encompass the Union,
she now avows she loves it still, and will cling
to it amid its sorrows, as she has clung to it
in the days of its strength and glory.
[Cheers. ]—That which she has so nobly de
clared fromtheballot-boxitisnow her manifest
duty to make good upon the battle field—[ im
mense applause ]—and that duty, already be
gun, will, I firmly believe,- be faithfully per
formed upon the meeting of her Legislature,
which takes place bufafewulays Imnoo. Full,
full will bo the meiisnre of my joy when
I shall behold the patriot soldiers of Massa
chusetts and the patriot soldier of Kentucky
meeting upon the sam’a fields of danger, and
with the grasp of’th'ejr fraternal hands rebuk
ing those traitorous [men who through long
years have striven to render them aliens and
enomieq .to each other. , .

have just made I have nowhere found the pub
lic voice faint,' or the public purpose faltering,
in reference to tho vigorous prosecution of
this war until the Stars and Stripes shall float
on every flagstaff from which :lioy have been
torn. [ Applause. ] No where have I heard
the word compromise —[cheers and cries of
“ good,” “ good,” ] —a word which now can
bo uttered only by disloyal lips, or by those
spopking openly and directly in the interests
of the rebellion. [ Cheers, and a voice—
“ that’s tho kind of talk.” ] So long as the
rebels have arms in their hands, there is noth
ing to compromise—[ cheers J; —nothing but
the honor of tho country and tho integrity of
the Government; and Who, but he who is
ready to fill a coward’s grave, is prepared for
submission to such humiliation ns this?
Fellow-citizens, it cannot bo disguised that
WB stand at this moment confronted by great
national dangers and great national calami
ties. Eleven members of our Union arc in
open, and, thus far, successful revolt; and an
an army it may bo of a hundi ed and fifty
thousand men, breathing vengeance and
slaughter, is hovering upon our linos and
menftcingthosafotyofWashington. From this
pressing peril no valient resolves, no.hrilliant
declamation, no fervent prophesying, can
possibly deliver us. Nothing but the sword,
wielded by skillful and heroic hands, can now
save this country from tho last catastrophe
that can befall a fi'Be people. Tho enemy
has been tested, and wo can no longer under
rate either his power or his recklessness in
battle. ■
Let no man cherish the delusive belief that
since this rebellion s the cause of crime, that,
therefore i twill he the loss daringly maintained.
History has recorded, for our instruction and
our admonition, that Catalino and Ids 00-con
spirators fell with their faces to the enemy ;
and so, probably, will fall the; rebel loaders of
the South. Tho more, .earnest,, the more
prompt, tho more united the efforts that are
now made, the briefer will he the, struggle.
All delay, all seeming hesitancy, all dissension
while strengthening the , rebellion itself,
fraught with incalculable danger and mischief
to ourselves....
If, however, from,any cause, this contest'is
to be prolonged, we must not Seek to conceal
from ourselves its possible consequences ; but
even now, in advance, we should -bravely.'and
calmly look the woi-slrof them in the face.—
Your ships may have to furltheir.snils ifi many
a sea, and the grass may, spring up in marts
heretofore pressed by the busy feet of com
merce; Wide spread bankruptcy may possibly
ensue, and the wail Of sorrow may go up, not
only from stricken households and communi
ties, but also font cities and States, over the
brave and true men who have laid down-tlioir
lives upon the altars of their country. But
our institutions are well worth all tin. o ‘sacri
fices, and all other sacrifices which we may
or can possibly make for their preservation.
Al. that wo are and all that wo have are the
fruit of these institutions; and all that we
may now generously devote to their safety,
in this hour of their extreme peril, if we are
successful, they will give buck to us and our
children’s children, increased a,hundred, nay
a thousand fold.
But oven now, in the very shadow of these
oven this.night and this
hour, wo! could haW bekce. ’ ’Tlftt-CiHild hove
peace by laying down our necks, our coun try,
and our flag, in the dust beneath the remorse
less feet of traitors. [Loud cries of “ never,"
“ never I”J But how can we do this, seeing
that the graves of our fathers are yet with us;
and that Bunker Hill yo.t speaks to us with
voices which will not and cannot be still ?
[Cheers;] ,
If wo falter wo fail; and not only will
Washington, your oapitol, bo subjugated and
sacked, but your cities and your fields will be
swept over by an army carrying in its train
desolations scarcely surpassed since the Goths
stabled their steeds in the palaces of the
Caesars., The fiendish tone of the Southern
press, its exultantthroatonings, and the events
which have already transpired, fully justify
me in this declaration.
If, therefore, we think of oiir Itnda and
gold, of oUr merchandize and pleasant homos,
or even of the blood that courses incur veins,
in contrast with the honor and integrity of
our Government, we are lost; we shall per
ish suddenly, irretrievably and ignoniinious
ly. But, if true to ourselves, ns I verily be
lieve we will bo, if true to the kindling mem
ories of . the past, and to the grandeur of our
mission as a people, your armies will assured
ly triumph ; and that triumph the Union sen
timent of the Sooth will render complete and
enduring [applause;] and thus, out of all this
national turmoil,., and battle, and. bloodshed,
and wringing anguish, there will in the end
arise a future for our country, bright ns that
rainbow which spans the mists that mount
above the tortured hell of Niagara’s waters.
For that future, that bow; of promise and of
beauty may well be accepted as the appropri
ate emblem. [Applause.]
One of the most fearful obstacle's which lias
been encountered in the successful prosecu
tion of this war is the disloyalty found in our
midst. [Cries of “ that’s so.”] This is es
pecially true in relation to Washington city
and the border States; blit it is in a degree
true everywhere, and to this is traceable much
of that discouragement Under which the na
tion Is now suffering. The country is now
rejoicing in those bold and decided measures
which the President' is hiking to subdue this
fatal source of weakness and defeat; [Cheers.]
It is in vain that the stalwart arnis and hearts
of this great nation toil at the pomps, so long
as men are kept on board With augurs in their
pockets, who, at every stolen opportunity, ard
boring holes in the bottom of the noble ship
on which wo are all embarked. [Applause.]

purpose of robbing him. They took tho wife
of the old man and tired, her, and then seized

money was poncealed. Failing in- this, they
tied a cord around his head, drawing it so
