tributed according to the character of the coun
try- Ina very open country, a large proportion
of cavalry would be at the head of the column;
but generally it is distributed throughout the
line. The artillery should be in the rear of the
first foot regiment.
In a woody or mountainous country, detach
ments, or Bankers axe thrown out to the right
and left of the column, at a distance of one or
two hundred paces ; to keep a sharp lookout for
disasters. The column having been formed at
half or quinter distances, and the baggage
train assembled in the rear, protected by a
guard selected from each regiment for its own
baggage, the column is put In motion, and the
march commences with the same regularity as
would be observed by a regiment moving in
or out of &garrison or town, the lands playing,
the light infantry with arms sloped, and those
of the riflemen slung over the shoulder, the
officers withswords drawn exact whee li ng dis
tances preserved' and per‘ Allence- observe&
After proceedings distance In this manner the
word of cquirripd "route step" is given by the
general at the bead of the leading battalion,
and passed quickly on to the rear. The imp
tains instead of continuing at the head of their
companies, draw back to the rear of thein.—
The soldiers then march and carry their arms
in any manner convenient to them, conversation
and, smoking being orilimuily allowed.
Hsavr ROBBIKRY IN CHICANO. —One of the
most extensive robberies ever known in the
police annals of Chicago occurred on Saturday
last at the Sherman House, the circumstances
of which, as near as we can ascertain them, are
as follows : Sometime during the early part of
last week an elderly gentleman, named Charles
H.'Stewart, a collecting lawyer, residing in New
York, but formerly are/Ado:it of Detroit, ern , ed
in Chicago from St,. Louls and took rooms at
the Sherman House. Shortly after his arrival,
a large sum of money, which he had collected
in St. Louis for a New Yorkbusiness house, was
received by the Adams Express Company,
Marked to his address. This money, which was
in two packages, one containing $16,000 in cur
rent Eastern, hio; Ihdima and'Canada funds,
and the .;other' $21,000 in depreciated Illinois
currency, the whole amounting to $86,000 in
real value, was left at the Express Office until
Saturday. On that day he took it to his room
at the Sherman Howse, but while he was at din
ner, some rogue entered his room and carried
Off the entire pile.
BADLY Houwrito.—Some of the cavalry com
panies on this side are very badly mounted. A
number of the , horses are worse than those at
taehed t 6 a * Washington hack or Philadelpnia
eySter cart. The frauds practiced upon the
Government in this respect are outrageous.
How such animals ever passed inspection we
cannot tell.
