Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the English Com- monwealth from 1653 to his death in 1658, began his mili- tary carver in 1642. In 1643 appeared this little manuul for his soldiers. Though not prepared by Cromwell, it was published with his approbation, and was in general ‘use among his soldiers, Cromwell's success was due in Bo small degree to the strict morals and rigid discipline of his army, and to the iuapiring power of veligion. Ite de. clarod:—“Truly I think ho that prays best Mehts best. I keow nothing that will give like courage ant contldence ‘as the knowledge of God in Christ wil!; and I bless God to gee any even in this army able and willing to impart the knowledge they have forthe good of others. Ac” cordingly,’ he says, “I raised such inen as had the fear of God before them, and made some conscience of what they did. And from that day forward they never were Doaten, but whenever they were engaged against the ene- my, they beat continually.” Cromwell’s [ronsides, as they are usually calied, fed their faith upon God's word, went into battle with psalm singing and prayer, and fear- ‘ing God only, were the best soldiers perhaps the world has ever seen. Their watchword was, ‘The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge.”” Whitelocke, di acribing them to Christina, Queen of Sweden, sxid:— ‘The officers and soldiers of the Parliament held it not unlaw: ful, when they carried their lives in their hands, and were going to adventure them in the high the | Held, to encourage one another eut of [His word who com- mands over all; and this bad ht and impression with it than any other word could have.” ‘Tho original “Souldier’s Pocket Bible” is ia very quaint | and antique print and spelling. Only two copies are known ‘© be oxtant-—one in the British Musonm, the other in the possession of Georgo Livermore, Esq., of Cambridge, by ‘whose courtesy the annexed copy is prioted, quoting’ the Scripture passages from the received version.

The division under Siegel, consisting of the Third and Fifth Missourt Volunteers, moved south. erly along the Fayetteville road for some distanco until they had crossed Wilson's creek, when thoy turned west. wardly te the rear of tho rebol camp. Having takes up this position, at @ preconcerted stgnal they opened fire apon the rebois in the rear at about the same timo that ‘Totten's battory attacked thom in front. This battery was attached to Goneral Lyon's command, which had moved a short distance along ths road leading from Springfeld through tho rebel camp. When near the junction of this ruad with the one leading to Little York, the division moved in a southwestorly direction through a wheat deld, unl thoy crossed Wilson’s creek. After passing some underbrush, thoy again diverged from tho track, moving northerly, aad recrossing the creek and road seme distance nearer tho onemy, when they struck into the wooded ridges, and moved northwesterly until nearly opposite to tho line of Genoral Rain’s headquartors (Z).

FILLMORE. Ex-Governor Grovier, land agent of New Moxico, writes to the Columbus Jowrnal, undor date of the 4th instant, giving the following particulars of the surrender of Fort Frimore:—A party of Texais made an attack on the United States troops in the Mesilla valley on Thursday, the Let, and after eae or two skirmishes, In which two lieutenants were severely wounded, the command re- treated to Fort Fillmore, and its commandor, Major Lynde, thinking himseif anabie to maintain his position, abandoned the fort, and by a hasty retreat endeavored td reach Fort Stanton, 161 milos distant. ‘Ihe command, numbering 750 mon, reachod tho San Augustine spring, im the Oregon mountains, a march of about twerty mil when it was surrounded by the Toxan horse, said to only 300 strong. Major Lynde, without firing’ a gun, aad without making a show of resistunco, sarrendered hig whole force into the hands of thé enemy. ‘This is not the worst. Two companies from Forts Buchanaw and Breok- jaridge, in the western part of the Territory, intonded ax, reinforcoracnts for Fort Fillmere, wita sixty governmoat wagons, are snppcaed to be onthe road, under command of Captain Moore, whe has been notifiod of his dauger, Sorious fears are apprehended that this detachment will also be oat off. This will give the wholo of the Mesilla valloy and Ariaona into the bands of the Toxans, Fort Stanton is now threatencd by the enemy, but as i6 4s under the command of Col. Roberts, a gallant officer, with seven companies of regulars, and is withal a strong position, it is not likely to be given up without somobodg: being seriously injured, A regiment of Mexicans, under Col. Pino, it 1s sald, has been ordered there for reinforce- mont. Se you may expeot before long to hear of lively times in this territory, The First regiment of New Mext- can volunteers, under command of Col, St. Vraia and Lieut. Col. Kit Garson, is now at Fort Union, nearly ready for tho fold. A regiment of mounted men, 1 hear, has been ordered to be raised, the ranks of which will bo speodily filled. The Mexicans aro loyal te the goyorn- ment, and feel a holy hatred (not unmixed with fear, 1 am sorry to say,) of the Texans, but when proporiy drilled they will be able to give a goed aecount of them- selves in the Held. But little donbt exists that the abandonment ef Fort Filtmore and the surrender of th» men, waa pre-arranged with Coionol Loring, the former commander of this de- yartmont, when that eflicer traitorously left his post for the South. Major Lynde isa weak old man, Ifo has boom in the army forty years, and though from Vermont, ho ‘has all bis family connections in thesewth. He had often been heart to say that his warmest sympathics wero with the Southern brethren, evon while drinking the liqnor paid for by inoney from the United States Trea- sury.

As for food live on clover, or something confoundedly like is, Call it gumbo, have it three simesg a day.

One elastic sub- stance sorved up with treacle, 60 us wo resemblo blister, is Iknow called buckwheat cake, To-day witnessed ove of institutions of country in its most striking aspect. Publio barroom at free lunch time. Most drinking saloons of uny eminence, spread lunch ta- ble from eleven to one o'clock, every one who chooses comes in, eats as mvueh as he likes and pays nothing. About twelve o'clock di opt into “Gem,” great © plo thore, cating, drinking, smoking, taking. Lage ta- bie set out, boiled beef, cyster soup, gumbo, dried fish, choose, crackers and bread.

Genoral hum of conversation, in which the words ‘“Se- ,’’ “Southern confederation,” No how you can fx ‘That long, slab-sided, nigger stealing son of a gun, Abo Lincoln,” **Nu sir-ree, hoxx,’’ moat frequently heard. Shattling of feet, clinking of ice in huge fut ‘a, &c. Works of art adorn walls—female figures in high style of undress most patronized. Spittoons as large as bushel baskets generously distributed over marble floors; easy chaire in all directions—gentlemen sitting on shoulder biades. Charleston picturesque old clty—quite classic ground— has @ ruin somewhere—powder mill blown up sevoral yours ago, People of Charleston talk about their anti- quitics—one house eiyhty yours old.” Several fine hotels, two or threo excellent churches, and very nice arsenal. Voluminous market place, well supplied with okra, squash, pumpkins, peanuts, pop corn, yams, squirrels, robing, clams, &. Mutton and beef not very abundant, Foath ‘Carolina having seooded from butcher's meat, City Hall a neat little edit Post Office somewhere in church. There is a good deal of sea, and bay, and water of one kind and another round about, with several forts jn itand on it. Good eaplanade, called White Pout Gar- don—wa'ks macadamized’with peppermint lozenges, or sea shel's, don’t know which, anyway beautiful effect. State of society, generally, very much disorganized.

All right, let off immodiately: Mr. Punch greatly respected here, next to General Washington. Attended grand caucus Inst night—great demonstra tion, Principal speaker burst all buttons off shirt front, said if Northern States would only contract to carry the mails as usual, and supply them with ice, poultry, hay and frearms, South Carolina would never surrender, rather porish! Patriot’s grave botter far than something else—patriot’s everything better than everything else, nothing like patriot, in fact every man not patriot ought to have his head punched (or words to that effeot). Agreeabiy surprised at dignity and decorum with which voting was conducted—only one fight, and that attend- ed with no fatal resulte—wounled m walked down street next day, expected to recover. Southerners cer- tainly very gentlemanly men, sh ‘eel more at easo in their society if they didn’t carry quite so many bowie knives about, don’t seo how they manage it, I only wear two, one up my back, other down leg of pants, and small revolver in breat pocket, still find it inconvenient im sitting down—feel as if IT bad reesived ticket to Or_ thopedic Institution, and beem very thoroughly treated.
