e strategy of a campaign of even greater moment— problems the Union generals, especially in the West, were compelled to study and consider with the utmost care. Napoleon said, An army crawls upon its belly. Soldiers to march and fight their best must be well fed. Given sound food and shoe leather, and the average army can outdo days of the Roman Empire, Italy, France, Switzerland, and even England were seamed with admirable highways. The campaigns of Turenne, of Frederick the Great, of Napoleon were planned and marched over the best of roads, firm and hard, high and dry. The campaigns of Grant, Lee, Sherman, Johnston, Sheridan, Stuart, Thomas, Hood, Hoo-iron railways that could be wrecked in an hour and rebuilt only with infinite pains and labor and vast expenditure of time and money. Just what Frederick, or Napoleon, or Turenne would have done with the best of armies, but on the worst of roads, with American woods and weather to deal with, is a military problem that would ba

Of the total number treated of by Captain Folsom, 5,000 died in service during the first three years of the war, 2,000 were permanently disabled by wounds, and 5,000 who were wounded, recovered.

By a species of lucus a non lucendo mode of designation, the uniforming of this inchoate force was not so irregular early in the war. Gray had been adopted as the color most serviceable, but the supply of cloth of that hue was soon exhausted under the influence of the blockade, and so numerous varieties came into use and were accepted as complying with the requirements of the service. Thus, in the writer's regiment, the companies

Marches of the Federal armies Fenwick Y. Hedley, Brevet Captain, United States Volunteers, and Adjutant, Thirty-second Illinois Infantry It was said of Napoleon that he overran Europe with the bivouac. It was the bivouac that sapped the spirit and snapped the sinews of the Confederacy. No other war in history presents marches marked with such unique and romantic experiences as those of the Federal armies in the Civil War. It is worth while to note one march which has received little attention from annalists—one of much importance at the moment, in the meaning it gave to the word discipline, and, also, in the direction it gave to the fortunes of the man who was destined to direct all the armies of the Union. Early in the opening war-year, 1861, an embryo Illinois regiment was on the verge of dissolution. It was made up of as good flesh and blood and spirit as ever followed the drum.
