The Soldier's Outfit

There are two regiments already oriered into service irom this State, and jthers will bü speedily forraed. These ;ake out a great many young men who ire unusud to the mode of üfe that is jul'ore thcin. A few suggesiions aa to :he preparatior.s necessary have been :iven in these columns. The Cincinaati Gazctte fnrnihes snrae additional nints which are valuable. That paper very properly remarks that war is business. All the tinsel yanishes at the first toush of activo service. Then the only question as to uniform is, what will best protect the men in all kinds of weather. It is sufh'cient for the purposes of mere show that the dress shall be uniform ; and when it is ro, and is substantial and somlortable, it can hardly be improved by gilt lace or gaudy colors. The rcsult of the experience of the War Department is probably as good a guide in regard to uniform as can be had, though we doubt if the early American prejudice in favor of blue, is not at the loss of durability in the color. - The blue pantaloons fade badly in hard service. Probably the best uniform lor economy, durubility, and for preserving its appearance against all weather, wear, and dirt, s the gray. A soldier should carry on his back the outfit for a campaign. That he can easily do. Of course the luxury of clean shirts is foregono when troops are on a war footing, and it would be best to dispense with white shirts aud eoKars altogether from the start. A souple of colored woolen shirts would answer for the season, with an occasional washing out and :' hanging on the bushes," when resting in camp; lor of course every thorough soldier can wash his own elothes, and dress and cook his own victuals, and :s supposed to have a genius for foraging and providing tbings to make himself comfortable and " duly thankful." JBrogans are botter than boots for the raarch and for iighting. A stout-soled brogun can be adjusteii so as to save the feet from galling mach better than a heavy boot, and cause ranch less inconvenience when thoroughly wet. - With a pair of these.-two wooleu Rhirts, two pairs of woolen dravvers, stout socks, a fatigue jacket vest, pantaloons of the present easy style, military cap, a loóse army ovorcoat, and a blanket, a soldier, alter he had beon seasoned by a fortnight's exposure, would be able to go through the whole seasoti fortably, and lie would soon find that he could sleep on the ground in the open air without ineonvenience. These he can carry on the mareh, and have room for several days' piovisions in bis knapsack besides. The govornment furnishes its boIdiers a frook-coat in addition to these, but it is doubtful if this would be worth corrying on a campaisrn. The following additional suggestions are from a gradúate at West Point - ono wlio has seen Bervice, and whose opinión is entitled to eonsideration : As raany mistakes have been made in tho so'eclion oí matorials for clotliing volunteers, a few suggestions from an ex-army otñcer will not be amiss.
