role for the organization of.,such a comPany
gives . one captain,, two lieutenants, five
and four corporals, and eighty-five pen.
FOrmerly each company had with
'carried the flag; but his piece is.:now supplied.
by. the color sergeant. There is one more. ser
.geant than corporals, the'first sergeant being
called the orderly sergeant,_ and is next to.the
captain, the most .important. man in the..com
pany—:-carrying the books of the company,
and calling the roll Morning and evening. The
company. is formed, when in column, into. two
platoons and foursections, each* platOdn corn

A riir,iment is • regularly 'composed of ten
Companies, or two

half 'a regiment, composed of .fiv.e'comPeides—

'one Of.them called a light or rout Company, in

F',.ach separate body of troops must have a

one colonel, one' lieut:' . colonel one: adjutant;
one cp i tartermaster,.one commissiary, two ma
jors, ten coptains, twenty lietenants, ftftyser-
geants; fortycorporals.and 'eight hundred , and
fifty pri'vates—:making nine hundrpd and seven =
ty-five, but in reality there are some others;
each corripa - hy has regularly a druMtner•and
fifer, which make asegimental band'of twenty,
besides the drum Major.. Then. the .regiment
when full, is made .up regularly to one thou

In

or, ten 'of these corps inactive ser.vice:--ma
king a field army .of from 250,000 to 300,000
men, From the elements we have given, it,
will be seen that howevir huge the army may
be, it is so organized as to be perfect in nil its
prirts,.and moves witliezact order and
In the held all ciders and operations
are carried on through:the staff of the army,
.and 'when we come to actiVe service, the;staff
is the Most . importanf part of tlie army; for
this baing . a vast•maciiine, of, which each part
is perfectly. obedient to arid directed by the'
head, it iS evident:that
. all must depend on the
'ability..a.nd .discernment of the stiff
through which it acts... It is in vain that Scott.
or spy great generalcommands, . if the staff
officers are incompetent. ..;
The staff consists of the.aids, the adjutant .
I general, the engir,eef, :and the' quartermaster,
and commissiary aeyyerals. Through the adjii
tant general all- 'orders are • contreyed, to . each
particular part. By the qurrtermastergeneral
all transportations, and vehicles, and. horses
are furnished; btthe commissiary all supplies;
by the' engineer the topography of the country
is thoroughly. examined: the practicability of.
passes deterinined, fortifications built or at
tacked. Then the staff of; an army becomes
'its eyes, and all its faculties, the. general sim
;ply deciding the movement of the army on the
fact and.elements
.•thifs furnished. In the
grand Trench armies there was a chief-of-the.
staff, or. head of the ictive . Military Wrenn. Natieleon's time, this 'chief-of-the staff vvas
marshal Berthier,. deemed one otthe ablest
()theirs of .the French army. Isiapoleen knew .
the value of a good.stati and had abler men Hy
it than Were at the heads of the divisiOns. •
HOW T.O TAse . :Ur Tnens.—Every ono, must
be aware, at least with a moment's Teflection,
that if a tree could be reMoved.with all its
roots, including all the numerous' thread,like
radicals, and plated in the soil, precisely as it
stood before, it would suffer no hindrance.—
The nearer . We.approach this cOndition, there
fore, the greater will be . our success. •
Many people wonder why trees are:so much
checked by transplanting—they are surd that
nearly all the roots have been removed with
them. It: they could very carefully examine
the roots, they would arrive at a different con=
elusion. By wishing the soil away from the
trees, the roots are found to run long distances.
The old theork, that the roots extend over an
equal area with the Branches, is far 'from cor
rect; and the later one that.the diameter :of
the circle of roots is only, equial to the • height
of the tree, is still short of the truth. Care
ful examination shows that they-generally ex
tend so far each - side as the full height of -the
tree. • For example, • the extreme fibersof a
tree, four feet-high ' (proVided it has :plenty , of
room' to, develop- itself,, and is 'of stocky
growth) will.be found about eight feet apart.
The minateneseof thread-like form or these
fibers prevents their being usually perceived.
'To secure ttAcitul stipplY of fibers smallor mod.
erate sized trees must first be - chosen, for it
- is impracticable to take . OP any 'considerable
,portion on large trees. • Renee small,tieeegen
erally,outgrow' large 'ones itra few years, and
make finerand more thrifty.bearers. Second
ly, good tools must be procured for
. .the,ppera-'
Aron; with a small* short,' feeble spade, it is
nearly impossible.—Country demlemen. . •
