By Thomas Tbnnbht. yhe calculations are made for apparent time. The Tide Tables are computed from the Tables of tlie United States Coast Survey. We append the following observations in regard to the TIDBS OF THB PACIFIC COAST. On the Pacific coast there is, as a general rule, one large and one small tide during each day ; the height of two successive high-waters occurring one A. m., the other p. m. of the same twenty-four hours, and the intervals from the next preceding transit of the moon are very different. The inequalities depend upon the moon's declination ; they disappear near the time of the moon's declination, beine^ nothing, and are greatest about the time of its being greatest. The inequalities for low water are not the same as for hi j^h, though they disappear and have the greatest value at nearly tne ttame times. In Puget Sound the inequalities for the interval of high water and for the height of low water follow this rule, but those for the interval of low water and height of high water disappear about one day before the moon's declination is greatest, and are greatest about four or five days before the greatest declination. When the moon's declination is north, the highest of the two tides of the twenty-four hours occurs at San Francisco about eleven and one-half hours after the moon's southing, (transit) and when the declination is south, the lowest of the two high tides occurs about that interval. The lowest of the two low waters of the day is the one which follows next the highest high water. To obtain the times of high or low water Jbr Monterey, South Farallon, Mare Island, Benicia, Ravenswood and Bodega, find the time for San Francisco, then subtract 1 h. 44 m. for Monterey, 1 h. 29 m. for the South Farallon, and 49 m. for Bodega ; and add 34 m. for Mare Island, 1 h. 4 m. for Benicia, and 30 m. for Ravenswood. For Humboldt Bay, Port Orford, and Neeah Bay, find the time for Astoria, then subtract 40 m. for Humboldt Bay, I h. 18 m. for Port Orford, and 9 m. for Neeah Bay. For Steilacoom and Semiahmoo Bay, find the time for Port Townsend, and add to it 57 m. for Steilacoom, and 1 hour for Semiahmoo. The approximation will only be a rough one for Steilacoom.

Br H. W. Hxr.LECK. AUTIIOB OF "ELEMRNTN OV MIMTART AltT AND ACIKNCR," " INTXBMATIOirAL LAW AMU TUB I.AW8 OF WAU," XTO. 1 M I FoREiQKERS liavc oftcn asserted that, as a military power, tht Government of the United States is exceedingly weak ; and that the first groat war in which we engaged would demonstrate this weakness. Our people have resented these assertions with con- siderable warmth ; and to prove their want of foundation, they have referred to our little army of twelve or fifteen thousand picn, to our military academy at West Point, and to the military spirit displayed by our militia ; and, as evidence of our capacity to organize an efficient army in case of necessity, to the rcsulta of the War of 1812, and the Mexican War of 1846. In reply to all this, European cavillers say they admit that our regular army is well instructed and well disciplined, but that it is too small to be of much avail in pi / great war; and they also point to the fact that the privates are mostly of foreign birth, which, they say, is good proof that the mass of our native popu- lation is wanting in military spirit. They admit that the West Point Academy is equal to the best military schools of Eurojje, and that it annually furnishes a small body of well trained and well educated officers ; but they contend that the usefulness of this school is almost entirely destroyed by the system of appoint- ment to, and promotion in, our army — such appointments and promotions being made almost exclusively from political consid- erations, and without regard to military qualifications. In proof of this, they refer to our army lists, and show that graduates of West Point have much less chance of preferment than noisy, pot-house politicians, who are ignorant of the first elements of military science. With regard to our militia, they say that, although good and brave men, they are without military experi- ence or discipline, and, although valuable as an auxiliary force to man our fortifications and to repel an invasion, they would be \4 34 HAND-BOOK ALMANAC. iiU! of very little use in the open field and in the face of veteran troops. With regard to the "War of 1812 with England, they say that the first campaigns proved beyond dispute our want of military eflSciency, and that it was only in the last year of the war, and after a dearly bought experience of our faulty military organization, that we were able to cope with the small force which Grcau Britain, engaged in her mighty European contests with Napoleon, was able to send against us ; for the Mexican "War, they say we contended with troops still less instructed and dis- ciplined than our own. v "Whatever we may think of the justness of these foreign criti cisms, we must admit that we are not, in the strict sense of that word, a military people ; and that the military art has received very little attention in this country, as compared with the nations of Europe. And this is by no means strange. More than three quarters of a century have elapsed since the acknowledgment of our nationul independence, and during all that time, except the "War of 1812 with England, we have enjoyed an almost uninter- rupted peace — for our Indian border wars and our short conflict with the weak and demoralized Republic of Mexico were too limited and local to p'"jduce m'loli ettect upoii the country gen- erally — consequently, the attention of our people, for nearly a century, has been directed almost exclusively to other pursuits than that of arms ; and they are better acquainted with any other science than that of war. Indeed, politicians have generally assui-ed us that we need no anny ; and that our brave but unin- structed militia is suificient for all purposes for v^hich a military force will ever be required by our Government. The present war is opening our eyes to this error, and the disaster of B ill Run has taught us that mere courage and numbers, without in- struction or discipline, or competent ofticers to command, are not likely very soon to restore the authority of the Government, and the peace of the country. "War is the most comprehensive and difficult to be undersiood of all the sciences, for it embraces nearly every branch of human learning. Hence it is, that while nearly every cou jy furnishes ON THE ART OF WAR. 35 good chemists, botanists, geologists, theologians, jurists and statesmen, but very few I'killful generals have been found in any age. And yet in our country it seems to be thought that anybody will do for a general ; and a politician or pettifogger has only to put on epaulettes, and exchange his stump speeches or briefs for a sword, in order to qualify him to lead armies into the field and to direct the difficult and complicated operations or a campaign, seige or battle ! While we must admire the brazen impudence of the individuals who make these sudden and wonderful trans- formations, it is difficult to understand why the Government, which is supposed to seek victories rather than defeats, should appoint such men to command our armies, and why a people, who are supposed to value their lives and reputation, should tolerate them ! If mere politicians, who never drilled a company or read a military book, are to command our armies, why not make judges and district attorneys of masons and carpenters who never read a law book or wrote a brief? If it only requires a piece of parchment to convert a politician into a general, cer- tainly the same magic process will transform a blacksmith into a judge, or a butcher into a swrgeou ! Washington, in his last Annual Message, Dec. 7);h, 1796, in urging upon Congress the importance of military instruction, used the following words : " Whatever argument may be drawn from, particular examples superficially viewed, a thorough exam- ination of the subject will evince that the art of war is both coui- prehensive and complicated; that it demands much previous study ; and that the possession of it, in its mo' t improved and perlect state, is always of great moment to the security of a nation." Had we given heed to Washington's Farewell Address, the present rebellion would never have occurred ; and had the Federal Government listened to the advice contained in the fore- going extract from his last Annual Message, it would not now be lamenting the disasters of Great Bethel and Bull Run, The people are beginning to awaken to the importance of mil- itary instruction ; and they ask of the Government that it cease appointing politicians, ignorant of militxry science, to lead our '!'

Men who pay their money and peril their lives in sup- port of the war for the Union, have had enough of " mustang " generals ; they now demand that these be replaced by men of military education and experience. Moreover, the people them- selves are beginning to learn something of war, or at least, to desire to learn, for there is just now an unprecedented demand for military books. In order to assist the popular understanding of this subject, we propose to give a brief SYNOPSIS or THE MILITARY ART. aes War has been defined, the art of organizing and moviw ir>,i tary forces, and ip usually divided into four distinct brant, Strategy, Engineering, Logistics and Tactics. Strategy is the art of directing masses upon decisive point? ; or, in the words of Bulow, it embraces " the hostile movements of two armies, made beyond the view of each other, or — ^if it be preferred — ^beyond the effect of cannon." Engineering embraces the disposition of material obstacles to resist an attack, and the means to be used to overcome these obstacles in making an attack. Logistics embraces the means of transportation and supply. "3 Tactics is the art of bringing troops into action, or of moving them in the presence of an enemy — that is, within his view, and within reach of his artillery. We will illustrate these definitions by reference to the present war. To determine the general plan of campaign — that is, the points at yhich troops are to be assembled, as at Fortress Monroe, Arlington, the Ohio River, Cairo, St. Louis, &c., and the lines upon which they are to move against the enemy — be- longs to strategy. The location and construction of fortifica- tions, batteries, military bridges, the reconnaissance of the enemy's works, position and numbers, and his lines of com- munication, belong to engineering. The providing of means for supplying and moving the troops so collected, belongs to logistics. And the manner of bringing them into action, or of 1 ON THE ART OF WAR. 81 maneuvering them on the field of battle, belongs to tactics. ThuSj^e sending of Patterson's column against Martinsburg and Winchester, while McDowell moved on Manassas Junction, was a matter of strategy. So also the concentration of the forces of Johnson and Beauregard at Bull Run was a strategic movement. But the dispositions made of the troops on both sides for this battle, and the maneuvers made during this engage- ment, were all matters belonging to tactics. The establishment of batteries, and other means to strengthen his position, devised by Beauregard, and the examination of these defenses, and the adoption of means for overcoming these obstacles by McDowell, were matters belonging to enginjeering. And the means of sup- plying these armies, and of transporting these supplies, belonged to logistics. ' Having pointed out what is understood by strategy, we will add a few of the general rules which belong to that branch of military art. In selecting a base of operations, it is stated by the best authorities, that troops should never be placed upon the cir- cumference of a circle the center of which is occupied by an enemy ; for in that case the enemy can select his point of attack or defense, and, by concentrating his forces on that point, can successfully resist or attack the forces brought against him. Thus in the present campaign, the Federal troops were assembled at Fortress Monroe, Arlington, Martinsburg, Grafton, Parkers- burg, Cincinnati and Cairo, while the confederate forces were concentrated on Lynchburg, Richmond and Manassas Junction — one party on the circumference, and the other concentrated near the center. Again, in selecting lines of operation, it is said that troops should never be moved on exterior lines, unless the forces on each line are superior to the combined forces of the enemy. The reason of this rule is obvious : by moving on exterior lines, we permit the enemy to attack either of our lines with his combined forces, the other being outside, and too distant to render any assistance to the line attacked. On the contrary, by moving on interior lines, our forces, being nearer together than those of the enemy, '1 f i '*■ it- W .1;; n Hi 'I i I fi 88 HAND-fiOOK ALMANAC. may be readily concentrated on any weak point wliich may be pre- sented. It matters little whether our lines be single or double, provided we can unite our forces sooner than the enemy can unite his ; the great object being to concentrate upon the decisive point a larger force than the enemy can bring to resist our attack. This is the great secret, if secret it can be called, .of all strategic maneuvers. History furnishes us with numerous examples of both interior and ex. >' Vies of operation. In 1777, Burgoyne moved on exterior in gainst the army of Gates. In 1814, the army of Silesia and ine grand Austro-Russian army pursued exterior lines, leaving Napoleon to operate with his whole force upon either one or the other, as circumstances might require. In the Italian campaigns of 1796 and 1797, nearly all of Napoleon's movements were interior and central ; and he was thus enabled, with a small force, to pierce and destroy the large armies which Austria sent against him. The same may be said of his cam- paigns of 1805 and 1809, against Austria; of 1806 and 1807, against Russia ; and of 1808, against Spain. In 1815, with an army of only 120,000 men, against an allied force of 200,000, by his central advance on Charleroi and Ligny, he gained a most decisive advantage over the enemy — an advantage lost by the ecccMtric movement of Grouchy, which left Wellington and Blucher on interior lines, and enabled them to concentrate their combined forces on the field of Waterloo and overthrow the army of Napoleon. The maneuvers of the Archduke Charles between the armies of Moreau and Jourdon, in 1796, furnish a fine ex- ample of interior and central operations. To apply this maxim of strategy to the present campaign — Patterson's and McDowell's columns moved on exterior lines, leaving the armies of Johnson and Beauregard between them ; they concentrated their forces at Bi^l Run and defeated McDowell's army, and might have done the same thing to the army of Patterson. Had the latter crossed the Potomac at Leesburg, he would have threatened Johnson's communications much more effectually than at Martinsburg; and at the same time would have been near enough to McDowell faWi '■ ON THE ART OF WAR. 39 to assist him or to receive assistance from him, as circumstances might have required. Johnson must then have abandoned Harper's Ferry and Winchester and united with Beauregard, or the latter must have moved to the assistance of the former ; for had they remained separate, both Patterson and McDowell could have moved betwgen them. In that case, Beauregard must have fallen back towards Richmond, and Johnson must have been isolated. K Johnson had fallen back upon Manassas Junction, (as in fact he did on the twenty-first of July) Patterson would have been able to assist McDowell at the battle of Bull Run ; whereas, by his exterior line of operations he actually gained nothing. Newspaper critics have attempted to throw all the blame of this defeat upon Patterson, and have compared him to Grouchy at Waterloo. From all the information we can obtain on this subject we can see no parallel in the two cases. Grouchy made an eccentric movement from interior lines, thus changing- his interior to an exterior position, leaving the great body of Blucher's army nearer to that of Wellington than he was to Napoleon. Nevertheless, he was near enough to hear the can- nonading of Waterloo, and might have reached the field of battle in time to prevent the disastrous retreat, if not to save the defeat. The country was an open one, and his army could have moved as rapidly as that of the enemy. On the contrary, Patterson's position was, from the beginning, an exterior one ; he was some sixty miles from the battle field, with a strong force between him and McDowell. Moreover, Johnson had a railroad at his com- mand, and could reach Manassas Junction in a few hours ; whereas, Patterson, without cars, (the railroad being obstructed and the bridges destroyed) could not have reached Bull Run in less than two days, to say nothing of the opposition which he would have encountered from the army of Johnson. We know nothing of the reasons why Patterson's army was at Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry — ^>vhether his line of operations and his posi- tions were of his own selection, or were the result of superior orders ; our criticism is based solely upon the movements as tliey ! I H occurred, without any intention to blame or to exculpate any ^F i one. ► , ,., i 40 HAND-BOOK ALMANAC. I '' 'If' 1^: 1 Again, long or deep lines of operation — that is, where the object to be reached is very distant from the base or point of departure — are condemned by the best authorities; for the reason that they afford the enemy an opportunity to operate on the flank and cut off the moving column from its source of supply. Moreover, when far advanced upon its march, i^ would be very difficult to reinforce a column moving on such a line. If the circumstances of the war require the adoption of a deep line of operation in a particular case, it is a maxim of war that it be so directed as not to be cut by a flank movement of the enemy. Moreover, in order to avoid this danger, the line selected should be one upon which the troops can move with great rapidity, and be through a country where abundant supplies can be obtained ; for to carry them with the army would greatly retard its move- ments. To illustrate what is understood by a 'faulty deep line of operations, we will suppose that an army of five or ten thousand men was to be sent from California to attack the Confederate forces in Texas and Arkansas ; and that the line of operations chosen should be by Mazatlan or Guaymas through Chihuahua, Monclova or Monterey, the enemy being, in possession of Messilla and the eastern portion of Arizona ! a ,.i) yiiy.'i':t\-r Tactics may be divided into two distinct parts : grand tactics, or tactics of battle ; and elementary tactics, or tactics of instruction and maneuver. The first relates to the formation of troops upon the battle field — that is, whether they are to be drawn up in one or two lines, in columns, in squares, or in echelon, and how each arm is to be placed with regard to the other; whether the cavalry and artillery are to be placed in the center, on the flanks, or dis- tributed throughout the line, and whether they are to act separ- ately, or in conjunction with each other, or with the infantry. The second relates to the manner of forming lines, columns, squares, etc., of deploying as skirmishers, and of passing from one formation to another. The latter is the alphabet of the mil- itary art ; while the former combines the letters of this alphabet into words and sentences. To illustrate this distinction, we will refer to the battle of Bull Bun. The general dispositions of the ON THE ART OP WAR. 41 troops on both sides — that is, the combinations and arrangements of the opposing forces made by the commanding generals — ^were matters which pertained to grand tactics; but the orders of march, of fire, of deploy, etc., made by the commanders of brigades, regiments, battalions and companies, pertained to what is called e/cwentory tactics. '■'' •'''.■.■;; irrT-^ •• •• . '• . The formation or order of battle must always depend in a great measure upon the nature of the ground, the position of the enemy, and the character of the troops ; it is therefore impossible to lay down any geneial rule which would be applicable to all cases. Military writers describe twelve different orders of battle : the parallel, the oblique, the perpendicular, the concave, the con- vex, the echelon, etc., etc., with their various modifications and combinations to suit the circumstances of each particular case. Our limits will not permit us to enter into any discussion of these different formations, and we must refer our readers to pro- fessional treatises on this subject. We will remark, however, that thin lines, whether parallel, oblique or perpendicular, whether straight, convex or concave, are deemed objectionable, for the reason that they are easily penetrated. Columns at a distance are also objectionable, because the enemy may move between and attack them in flank. Again, heavy columns of infantry by grand divisions furnish an excellent mark for the enemy's artillery. A reserve is always of great importance in a battle ; but it should never be so large as to weaken the line. A general in command of an army of 50,000 men who should engage only 25,000, keeping the other 25,000 in reserve or in observation, would, by such a disposition, paralyze and render useless one-half of his own force I Logistics, or the art of subsisting and moving armies, is one of the most difficult subjects connected with the military art. In most countries of Continental Europe these matters are managed, under the direction of the commanding general, by a corps of officers specially appointed and organized for that purpose. In the English service they are managed by civilians, under what is called the "contract system." The Crimean War demon- fi I i V. 42 HAND-BOOK ALMANAC. strated the vast inferiority of the former over the latter. The English soldiers were left half starved and half naked ; while the French were abundantly provided for, and at much less expense In time of peace, and during the Mexican War, our army has usually been well supplied by means of the officers of the quartermaster, commissary and medical departments. But in the Utah expedition Mr. Secretary Floyd introduced the English system, of contracts made at the War Office through his politi- cal hirelings and hangers-on. The result was an entire waste of the public money, deficiency in the quantity and quality of the supplies, and the introduction of political corruption into a branch of service which had hitherto been above suspicion. If such a system should be adopted and continued in the present war, the appropriation of $500,000,000 will soon melt away, and our soldiers be left naked, bare-footed, and but half fed ! Again, the erection of fortifications, batteries, military bridges, etc., as connected with the movements of troops, and the attack and defense of military positions, forms a most important branch of the military art. Unless furnished with a proper reconnaissance of the enemy's positions, defenses, means of attack, etc., a gen- eral will be liable to commit riiost serious errors, both in his lines of operations, his points of attack, and his dispositions for a battle. And in order to ensure such reconnaissance and such means of attack and defense, he must have competent engineer officers and a proper number of engineer troops. Without draw- ing illustrations from European wars, it will suffice, to show the necessity of such military reconnaissances, to refer to the r-"- ' liieiiiii BATTLES OF GREAT BETHEL AND BULL RUN. An army organized for operations in the field, consists of several distinct branches, or arms, viz : the staff and adminis- trative corps, infantry, cavalry, artillery and engineers. The staff usually includes all officers above the rank of colonel, and all officers, as adjutant general, aids, etc., not attached to a par- ticular corps or department, and not serving with a company, battalion or regiment. In most foreign services there is a staff ON THE ART OP WAR. 48 ts of linis- The and par- any, staff corps, composed of different grades of officers, who assist the general-in-chief, generals of corp d' armies, of divisions and of brigades, in the performance of their respective duties. Admin- istrative corps are organized to provide supplies and means of transportation. In our service, aides-de-camp are appointed from the line of the army, and the adjutant general's department is a special staff corps ; the quartermasters, commissaries, medical officers and paymasters, are also considered as staff corps ; but in England they are designated as administrative corps. All officers of the staff proper serve directly under the orders of some general officers ; whereas officers of these corps have their special administrative duties to perform, under the direction of their respective chiefs. It is usual in our service, however, to attach the ranking officer of each of these departments to the staff of the general commanding an army; and officers so attached are very properly considered as staff officers . i a.i ■■.- < The general staff of sm army, organized for service in the field, consists of the general-commanding-in-chief and the officers attached to his personal staff, of the generals of corps d' armies, or separate columns, and their respective staffs, of generals of divisions and their staffs, and of generals of brigades and their staffs. Two or more regiments form a brigade ; two or more brigades a division ; two or more divisions & corps d' armie; and two or more corps d' armies an army. Brigades are commanded by brigadier generals ; divisions by generals of divisions ; c '^ft-^^i^'^r rui Infantry constitutes the great mass of every well organized army. It is usually organized into regiments of one, two or three battalions, each battalion being composed of either eight or ten companies. There are four different ways of engaging infantry, or of forming them for battle : 1st, as skirmishers, or light troops ; 2d, in deployed lines ; 3d, in lines of battalions ployed on the center, or formed in squares; and 4th, in deep masses. Skirmishers are employed as scouts, to fill up intervals between columns, and to act on the flanks and front of moving lines and masses. The particular manner of arranging infantry for battle must depend upon the nature of the ground, the posi- tion of the enemy, and the obstacles to be overcome. Squares and echelons are most effective against cavalry. These forma- tions are usually left to the discretion of the commanders of regiments and battalions, who should always seek to render their forces as effective as possible in making or resisting an attack. The best tacticians say that offensive operations of infantry on the field of battle require mobility, solidity and impulsion; while defensive operations should combine solidity with the greatest possible amount of Jire. The arm next in importance is cavalry. Its principal merit consists in its mobility and velocity, as it has very little solidity. It is employed in battle in four different ways : 1st, in deployed lines ; 2d, by regiments, in columns of attack on the center ; 3d, by a mixed formation; aud 4th, by a deep formation of several columns. The formation to be adopted in any particular case must depend upon the character of the ground, and the nature and position of the party to be attacked. The great value of cavalry is in reconnoitering before a battle, in charging upon exposed points during the engagement, in covering a re- ON THB ART OF WAR. 4( treat, and in pursuing and destroying a beaten enemy. The great expense of cavalry, and the difficulty of reducing it to proper discipline, and the increased importance of artillery, have rendered this arm less popular than in former times. Neverthe- less, an army without a proper proportion of cavalry will always be wanting in efficiency. McDowell's army was certainly very deficient in cavalry ; and to this deficiency must be attributed, at least in part, the disgraceful disorders of his retreat. Artillery is TicTf.t to be considered. The importance of this arm has been much increased within the last few years by the use of rifled cannon, and the greater accuracy of fire and range of pro- jectiles. It is usually divided into foot artillery and horse or mounted artillery. The unit of force in this arm is a battery; which is usually composed of six pieces, two of which are how- itzers, with the men and other necessaries required to serve them. The term battery is also applied to cannon in a redoubt, field work, or other fortification, without any reference to the number of guns. A regimental organization of artillery is a mere nom- inal arrangement ; for, in actual service, artillery never acts by iCgiment, unless as irjfantry — as was the case with a large portion of our artillery in the Mexican War. This arm admits of three promotions : 1st, in column ; 2d, in battle ; and 3d, in battery. In column, it ordinarily moves by sections of two pieces, each piece being followed or preceded by its caisson. In battle the pieces are drawn up in line, with their caissons in rear. In battery the formation is the same, but the pieces are unlimbered, and the guns directed towards the enemy and prepared for firing. Artillery is used in battle to destroy the enemy's works of de- fense, to silence his batteries, and to disorganize his masses ; and as an auxiliary force, to protect the deploying of our cavalry and infantry. It is of immense value in protecting a point of attack, and in covering the retreat of a broken regiment or column. Artillery is one of the most scientific branches of the military art, and the officers of this arm should be thoroughly educated. ■^ Engineer troops, on the field of battle, usually act as infantry, I'. TT 46 HAND-BOOK ALMANAO. when notrequinjd for constnicting batteries, or in removing and destroying the Material defenses of the enemy. The great value of this arm, liowcver, is in making reconnaissances, constructing and destroying bridges, opening roads and removing obstacles in the way of an advancing column, and in constructing defenses for resisting an attack. Beauregard seems to have made good use of his knowledge of engineering, in securing his position at Bull Run and Manassas Junction. Officers of engineers should be thoroughly educated in all the branches of military science ; and in our service, they must be graduates of West Point. i- The relative proportions to be given to each of these different arms in an army must depend, in some measure, upon the char- acter of the opposing force, the nature of the country in ■" h operations are to bo carried on, and the obstacles to be ove or to be opposed to the enemy. Nevertheless, experience has established certain general rules applicable to most cases of army organization. The infantry, as already stated, forms the great mass of every force organized for service in the field, and is made the basis of the apportionment ; the cavalry is from one- fourth to one-sixth of the infantry; the artillery about two-thirds of the cavalry ; and the engineers about two-thirds of the artil- lery. It is the opinion of some, that recent experience requires a diminution of the cavalry force, and a corresponding increase of artillery. This may well be done in particular cases, but it is doubtful whether there is any sufficient authority for changing the general rule adopted by the most experienced military writers of Europe. Any great departure from this rule, or deficiency of one arm, as compared with the others, will probably be felt in the results of campaign. .■. . -, , The foregoing brief analysis of the art of war is necessarily very imperfect ; nevertheless, it may assist a popular understand- ing of the subject, and serve to convince our officers of militia and volunteers that, in order to qualify themselves for their im- portant duties, they have something more to learn than the mere manual of arms, and the elementary drill of companies and bat- CORPS d'armees. 47 talions. It certainly is an anomalous phase in the character of of our people, that while they seek experienced and competent lawyers and doctors to conduct their law business and to care for their health, they are willing to intrust the expenditure of vast sums of money, the honor of their flag, and even their lives, to generals who have neither military experience nor military ia- structiou. ; ■ t < >.;i 'U u ' CORPS D'ARMEJS. An effective organization of troops for all purposes is composed of three arms — Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery, Upon a due propor- tion of each of these depends their capacity for attack or defense. Infantry is subdivided into " Infantry of the Line," who bear the brunt of the battle; "Light Infantry," who act as flankers; and "Kiflemen," or sharp-shooters. Cavalry is second in impoi-tance to Infantry, and should be in the proportion of about one regiment to four. Artillery has been developed to such perfection that in modern warfare it is sometimes the most eflective arm of the service. It should, however, be well supported, and two batteries of six (6 pounders) field pieces is sufficient for one division of four foot regiments.

For the want of a general term comprehending all this region, we have chosen the designation Pacific States as the most expressive that could be selected at present, and one which will naturally come into use to distinguish the new State organizations that are destined to be formed from time to time on this side of the mountains, from those known to Californians as the Atlantic States. The Pacific States are bounded north by the British Posses- sions, east by the Rocky Mountains, south by the Mexican boundary line, and west by the Pacific jOcean. They lie mainly between tho 32d and 49th parallells of north latitude, and Imj- tween tiie 11 0th and 125th degrees of west longitude ; the terri- tory ihus included forming a parallellogram about 1,100 miles in length from north to south, by 800 miles in breadth, and cov- ering a superficial area of 880,000 square miles. This region is divided into two unequal portions by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and their northern extension, the Cascade Range. The general elevation of this chain of mountains is about 9,000 feet — numerous isolated peaks rising to a much higher altitude. Between the Sierras and Cascades, or central range, on the west, and the Rocky Mountains on the east, lie three great internal basins, viz : the Plateaus of the Up^- Columbia, whose waters, draining eastern Oix'gon and Washington, find egress tlirough a pass in tlie Cascades ; the Great Fremont Basin, comprising Nevada and Utah, whose Avaters never find the ocean ; and the Colorado District, a rainless desert in southern California PACIFIC STATES. m and western New Mexico, through which the Colorado River flows to the Gulf of California. On the west of the great cen- tral range, and east of the Coast Range — which projects into lieadlands and recedes from the shore into double ranges, and bristles with numerous spurs along the whole coast — lie three great agricultural valleys, viz : that of Puget Sou7id and the Cow- litz River in Washington ; the Willamette Valley in Oregon ; and the Valley of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers in California. The Pacific States abound in every description of mineral wealth. The precious metals arc successfully mined in large tracts of hundreds of miles in extent, and new and surprising developments aie constantly being made. Along the slopes of the Sierras, among the mountains of northern California and southern Oregon, and on tlic tributaries of the Columbia river east of the Cascades, gold in placers and quartz veins exists in inexhaustible quantities. Immense veins of silver, cropping out into ledges and penetrating the earth to an unknown depth, have attracted millions of dollars in capital to the desert plains and barren mountain ranges of Nevada. Mines of quicksilver rival- ing those of Almadcn, and deposits of copper not less extensive than those of Su])crior, and the multiplying indications of tin, iron, coal and other useful minerals throughout this region, are full of exultant promise of the future, for they establish the fact that the Pacific States stand unrivaled in the variety, extent, and wealth of their mineral resources. But our mountains and val- lies are not valuable alone for the treasure buried beneath the surface. Vast forests of timber, often of gigantic growth, clothe the slopes of the former, and agricultural ])roduce of every des- cription known to tropical or temperate climates is raised in abundance and exported from the latter. In addition to these attractions, the marvelous salubrity of our climate infuses new life and vigor into the veins of the toil-worn and debilitated, and almost rejuvenates the aged ; and the beauty and grandeur of our varied scenery captivates the poet, the artist, and the lover of the novel and picturesque. The plan of our work for 1862 embraces the official and mis- HAND-BOOK ALMANAC. cellaneons statistics of the following general divisions of the Pacific States only : Sq. miles. Population. Capital.

The State of California is bounded north by Oregon, east by Nevada and New Mexico, south by Lower California, and west by the Pacific Ocean. It is about 720 miles in length from north to south, by 240 miles in breadth, and includes an area of nearly 190,000 square miles, which exceeds that of the New England and Middle States combined.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY. This county embraces the most fertile district in ^he southern portion of the State. Its broad, rich plains and numerous valleys sloping westward from the Coast Bange, are peculiarly adapted to the culture of the grape, and Los Angeles is already the vine- yard of the western world. Besides the remarkable agricultural resources of this county, the extent and variety of its mineral wealth, embracing gold, silver, copper and tin, has attracted much attention. The mineral springs in the vicinity of Los Angeles mmms t r^ ■I'l:'. 106 HAND-BOOK ALMANAC. are said to possess superior medicinal qualities, and the salubrity of the climate, being subject to neither the extreme heat of the internal valleys, nor the chilling sea winds of the more northern coast, is unsurpassed.

MARIPOSA COUNTY. This county* though lying in the central portion of the State, occupies the most southern portion of what is called the Southern mines. Nearly the entire surface of the county abounds in rich placer and quartz gold mines, that can be profitably worked for many years to come. Small valleys, suitable for cultivation, exist in the foot hills, and forests of splendid timber cover the mountain slopes. The Yo-Semite Valley, at the head-waters of the Merced river, in this county, is justly ranked among the wonders of the world. It is a magnificent rift or chasm in the Sierras, little more than a mile in width, and some ten miles in length, with perpendicular walls from 2,600 to 4,500 feet in height. Several mountain streams plunge down its precipitous sides, some of them lost in spray before reaching the depths below. Pages would be required for a description of this valley, which in the magnitude :m 108 HAND-BOOK ALMANAC. and boldness of its outlines, and the sublimity of its varied scenery, is second to no other locality in the world.

This county was recently erected from that portion of Calave- ras, Mariposa and Nevada Counties lying east of the Sierra Ne- vada Mountains, and embraces a long narrow strip between the summit of the latter and the eastern boundary of the State. This region is believed to bo very rich in the variety and extent of its mineral wealth. The silver lodes in the Esmeralda District havo prospected very richly, and numerous quartz mills will soon be in operation in that locality. The placer and quartz gold mines in the vicinity of Mono Lake are being successfully worked, and though imperfectly prospected, indications of rich deposits of the precious metals have been discovered in other parts of the county. Its great elevation above the sea renders it unsuitable for the cul- tivation of fruit and many of the cereals, but a large extent of land is adapted to grazing purposes.

MONTEREY COUNTY. This county is situated on the coast, stretching southward from the bay of Monterey, and covers an area of about 4,000 square miles. It lies between the ocean and the main Coast Range some fifty miles to the east, stretching across two inner ranges and the intervening valleys. About two-thirds of the surface of this county is mountainous and admirably adapted to stock rais- ing, particularly the raising of sheep — the elevated plateaus and sub-valleys being peculiarly suited to their growth — and the wool-clip far exceeds that of any other county in the State. In the productive valleys of the Bonita and Pajero Rivers, a numer- ous fiirming population derive an easy support. The mountains abound in indications of minerals — silver, quicksilver, lead, etc., but the mines have not been worked to any considerable extent.

This county, situated in the northern part of the State, con- tains an area of about 4,000 square miles, and the surface is rug- ged and mountainous, mostly at a considerable elevation above the sea. Its placer and quartz gold mines are extensive, pro- ductive and of a permanent character. Timber is abundant, and Honey Lake and other valleys in the eastern part arc well adapted for agricultural and grazing purposes. There are several lakes and numerous mineral springs, one of the latter possessing the power of petrifying wood. A large proportion of the overland emigration enters California through Beckworth and Honey Lake Passes in this county. ,: County Seat — Quincy. — Legal distance from Sacramento, 145 miles; from Stockton, 190 miles; from San Quentin, 275 miles.

This is a long, narrow county, situated on the Bay of Monte- rey, between the summit of the Coast Range and the ocean. The land at the base of the mountains spreads out into rich tracts and fertile valleys, well auupted for agricultural purposes, and the more elevated region is covered with dease forests of excellent redwood timber. Gold, silver and quicksilver are known to exist, but, with the exception of lime, which is an arti- cle of export, the mineral resources of Santa Cruz county have not been developed. Its industrial interests, however, are oon- fiiderable. The paper mills, and particularly the tanneries, in this county are the most important iu the State.

The valley land and lower foot- hills are fertile and productive, and being settled by a substan- tial farming population. The more elevated regions are well adapted for grazing purposes, and inexhaustible forests of pine, cedar, oak and ash exist throughout the mountainous districts. The gold mines in this county are extensive and profitable, and in the south-westei-n part have been long and favorably known for their constant and abundant yield. Among the undeveloped mineral resources are copper, iron, coal and several mineral springs.

This is almost exclusively a mining county, and is situated among the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the northern mines. Its rich gold placers, hill diggings and quartz veins have attracted hither a numerous and hardy pop ulation, and occasioned the prof- itable outlay of a vast amount of capital in quartz mills, tunnels and ditches. Henness Pass, in this county, is one of the best passes over the Sierras, and the route is rapidly becoming a fav- orite one. * . , , r County Seat — Downieville. — Legal distance fi-om Sacra- mento, 110 miles; from Stockton, 155 miles; from San Quen- tin, 240 miles.

SISKIYOU COUNY. This large county, stretching nearly across the northern ex- tremity of the State, is distinguished for the productiveness of its gold mines, "It is interspersed with and surrounded on all sides by towering mountains," one of which, Mount Shasta, an extinct volcano whose summit rises to an altitude of 14,000 feet, the highest peak in California. Two fine valleys in the western part of the county — Scott and Shasta Val- leys — redeem it somewhat from the sterility and ruggedness of its general aspect. These valleys, though elevated several thousand feet above sea level, are very fertile and susceptible of a high state of cultivation, and the rich green foliage which clothes them in spring and early summer presents a singular contrast with the snow-clad peaks around them. The flourishing city of Yreka, the largest north of Marysville, is located in Shasta Val- ley, and the extraordinary yield of the mines in that vicinity and farther west has given it a long and continued prosperity.

This is one of the central and agricultural counties, and from its favorable location on Suisun and San Pablo Bays — extensions of the Bay of San Francisco — all its surplus products are readily shipped to market. Suisun is the principal shipping port of the county. Benicia, formerly the Capital of the State, contains several seminaries of learning, and is a United States military post. The Navy Yard, at Mare Island— a tongue of land adjoin- ing Vallejo — is the only one on the west coast of America, and when finislied according to the extensive scale adopted, it will be the largest, most complete and best dockyard in the world.

This county is situated in the San Joaquin Valley, and ex- tends from the Coast Range on the west to, and including a por- tion of, the foot-hills of the Sierras on the east. The land is generally well adapted for grazing and agricultural purposes; a broad belt of swamp land along the San Joaquin River bein{|^ 186 HAND-BOOK ALMANAC. reclitimable for either of these purposes. The mining interests in the eastern part of the county are quite extensive, but owing to the scarcity of water the gold yield has not been equal to the capacity of the mines. Important veins of copper have also been found, and other minerals are known to exist within its borders.

Tulare county derives its name from Tulare Lake, and the luxuriant growth of tules on its marshy borders. The county is divided by the Sierras into two nearly equal portions, widely dif- ferent in their character. That part lying east of the mountains is a rich silver mining district, known as the Coso region, and is attracting a large amount of capital for its developement. The mountains are covered with immense forests of timber, among which there are said to be groves of gigantic trees. The western part of the county is one of the finest agricultural and grazing districts in the State, and in the neighborhood of Yisalia is rapid- ly filling up with an enterprising population. The contemplated 140 HAND-BOOK ALMANAC. Tulare Cfn'.il, designed to render the outlet of Tulare Lake navigabUi tc the San Joaquin River, will, when completed, greatly facilitate transportation and enhance the value of land.

Oregon was organized as a Territory, May 2d, 1843; it was divided by the formation of Washington Territory in 1853, and on the twelfth of Febniary, 1854, the State of Oregon, with its present limits, was admitted into the Union. It is bounded on the north and east by Washington, on the south by Nevada and California, and on the west by the "Ocean. Its form is nearly regular, being about four hundred miles in length, from east to west, by two hundred and seventy-five miles in width, including an area of more than 100,000 square miles. The State is divided into an eastern and western portion by the Cascade Kange. Of the eastern portion, comprising more than two-thirds of its whole extent, but little is known, save that the face of the country is divei*sified with extensive ranges of moun- tains, large rivers, valleys and lakes, and contains wide tracts of land adapted for grazing and agricultural purposes, as yet unten- anted by the white man. The western portion is divided into three principal valleys — the Willamette, the Umpqua and the Rogue River — which abound in all the requisites for agricultural pre-eminence. Of these, the Willamette Valley is the most favored ; possessing a soil of unsurpassed fertility, a mild and genial climate, an abund- ant growth of timber, large natural pastures where stock may range unsheltered the year round, an excellent commercial posi- tion, superior facilities for transportation, and a rapidly increas- ing population. With these advantages it will, when its vast resources are developed, contribute much towards the future agri- cultural importance of Oregon , I. EXECUTIVE AND STATE OFFICERS. '^ ; Salary.

It occupies the north-western portion of the domain of the United States, and is bounded north by the Straits of Fuca and British Columbia, east by the Rocky Mountains, south by Utah and Oregon, and west by Oregon and the Pacific Ocean. Like Oregon it is divided by the Cascades, but into very unequal portions. The most marked feature of the western part is Admiralty Inlet and its extension, Puget Sound — ^both popularly known by the latter name. Puget Sound penetrates nearly one hundred miles inland, and is full of fine harbors, navigable by the largest vessels afloat, presenting everywhere bold shores, that are safely approached for lading purposes, without the intervention of wharves. A large scope of country bordering on Puget Sound and extending southward is well adapted for agricultural and Hi i i ' i i mj I I I 164 HAND-BOOK ALMANAC |i': grazing purposes, and capable of sustaining a large population. Much of the same region is covered with an excellent quality of timber, which forms the basis of an extensive lumber business ; furnishing employment to a large number of persons, and con- stituting an important article of commerce. The eastern division of the Territory, comprising by far the larger portion, has attracted attention principally through its extensive gold fields. The Columbia River, which drains this entire region, is fonned by the union of two main branches — ^the Snake River, flowing from the south, and the Upper Columbia or main branch, which takes its rise in the British Posses- sions. The Wenatchee, Okanagon, Kettle River and Colville mines are on the tributaries of the Upper Columbia ; and the Nez Perces and Salmon River mines are on the eastern branches of Snake River, where recent prospecting has developed mar- vellous richness, surpassing anything that has been hitherto discovered north of California. There are indications that" the entire western slope of the Rocky Mountains in this Territory abounds in auriferous wealth. I. EXECUTIVE GOVERNMENT.. •' ;.',,' .'i:-"- Appointment.
