Finally, on the evening of the Oth of the i

to strike our tent ard get in line. About
7 o'clock, P. II., we wero moved off, and
that is the last I taw of Camp Teually, or

in camp for a day or so that hen we did
move, it would be up to Darnestown to
join Gen. Hunks ; and tomtuin were ma
ny of us of t'kii that the general cry, as
we were getting under arm nnd ready,
was, "now boys for Darncstown." We
soon discovered, however, that we had
mistaken our destination, nnd that some
other locality was to be the theatre of our
daring achievement. A short inarch
brought us to the toad branching off to

Potomac at Georgetown, and tl is tve fol

about throe hours found ourselves halted
in a field about four mile from the end of
the Chain bridge, ii. a weatetly direction,

Of course our baggsge, tents, ic., could

terminate on our tight in an abrupt de

our duties have been similar to those at
our previous encampments, excepting that
we have exchanged digging an 1 throwing

supposed, when we reached here first,
that a battle would surely take place in a

An Army UnparaUei in History.
There is littlo ' doubt that the armies
now on the line of the Potomuo and its
vicinity amount to the immense aggre
gate of near 200,000 men on each aide, or
400,000 combatants. Wl.enuver ag-neml
battle shall occur, it will not only havo no
paralled on the Westorn Continent in tho
torces engaged, but hardly oneof the histo
ry even of modern Cuppa will vio with it.
The great bulles of Napoleon wero Gener
ally fought with numbers far inferior to-
those under the wull.1 at Washington.
For instance, at Aus'erlitz, where Napo
leon defeated thecctabined armies of Rus
ia and Austria, he h id but 80,000 troops ;
the allies hud 100,000., At Jena and Au
erstadt, whero Lo broko tho power of
Prussia, hi force were not over 130,000

fought with the Aiistrinns on the banks
of Die Danube, i,i 1800, he h id but IOO.000
men. At Borodino,
under tba walls of
Moscow, ho hud leit 120,000 to oppose tho
Russian. At Waterloo, ho did not have
to exceed 80,000 troops. The only battle- i these tears alone. Alas! that the holy

devilish deceptions if they may thereby
"put money !n their purse," and all the

needs tiiondi. Then, when the dark
