It is also further alleged that in this examination before the committee the prisoner swore to faiseboods, one or more, in making this denial and con- tradiction of Hoar, and the expression of his conviction that the statements contained in the affidavits were true, eee it is on this account that he is now indicted for per- jury.

Line was formed at eight o’clock. Eight com- panies of files front reported, making an aggre- gate of some hundred and ninety-five officers and men. After exercising in the manual the instructor at once drilled the regiment in the first lessons of the school of the battalion. In the deployments, ploy- mente, forming square and reducing square, the pecu- larity of the tactics somewhat confused the men, to a great extent owing to the hurried manner in which the commands of execufton were given by the line com- mandante, Massing the battallion on the several divis- ions was very cleverly executed, however. Colnmn at half distartee, marching by fours and on right by files trifi correcti into line admitted of some ling jonas, but as a thing the men did well. Tn overy successive battalion formation com its of companies should invariably place their commands at a support arms, without regard to the company preveding them, in order tbat the privates should be subject to very little unnecessary fatigue, Marching in column by ‘companies, and changing direction, wheelings, the old Sixtw-ninth surpassed itself; but in alternate coup- termarohing by compaties, right and left, inverse ordor, very little credit can be given. A little brushing up in the sehool of the guides might not be withoot its proper effect upon the non-commissioned officers, In marching by division, and on fourth division take wheeling dis- tance the battalion did tolerably well—with this excep- tion, that in marching off division commanders failed to halt their cominands within the prescribed distance Promptly, Notwithstanding the errors referred to, the Old Guard have good reason to congratulate themselves in a, 89 much proficiency in the tactics, Under the skilful instraction of the well drilled commandant the vallant Sixty-ninth must succeed.
