At :i t:m oi'ii.f I ' # w - - 1' v"^ "1 drum everybody is in arms ; nothing v? can keep them hack?ne!th r lupines-, a afreet io is, workshops nor families. i< Prussia has proved herself'to ho the on)v co'inlvy which, in time ol'pcaco, n is prepared l'or war. ]>y law, every' l! Prussian is a ?oldicr. and the Prussian a armies arc in very truth tlio bc.sl w blood and bone and sinew of the peo h pie. tc Prussia has been spoken of as an aiv -M my holding a country rather than a country having army. The regular jn firmy consists of men from twenty to / twenty-live years of age, in which all ^ must serve thrco years, except professional men, students, &e., whose term of active service is one year. s; This term being r-orved, the Prussian enters (he Ijt'i.i-'iiJicr. or militia, which -(i is divi'led into two levies, The first (j' comprises all men from twenly-six to ^ thifiy-Lwo years oi" age, and in war i ji is employes., the same as the regular ^ urmy. 'J'iie second levy consists oi' ( men from thiriy-three to thirty-nine v?ar.- of ago, and :: liable to be called out in lime of war l'or iho purpose of j., irarri-oning ihe fc; Iresses There is 'j til so an i.t gular force (Lumhlnr.n) ^ composed (.fniiiii over thirty siine and under sixty years of age, whivh is, however, only a local fureo for del'en- ui bivo purposes, and is never ca'led out dl except in extreme cases. When war hi is declared thcro is no delay. The m militia, so-called, but who are in reali- es Ly graduates o'' the army, are, besides, lii regularly drilled every year, so that | so wnen Uiey arc summoned lo arms in ai any village or town only n few hours ol idapsc belore I hey arc efficiently in the hi i\uil:<. on the way Lo t lie point where O Lheir services arc required. d< Another important fact, which gives si mi unparalleled facility ol"movement to gi IVus-ia's military operations, is that ni Lhey arc not cneumljcred with an un- a^ wiold'y commissariat, bnt in tgwns fo where Ihero arc 110 barratlcs the hi troops are quartered upon the citizens, A. European correspondent slates that a< Lho city sceeivcs them from llio gov- di eminent and lho individual families hi IVom the cily authorities, with no w privilege ol' appeal. For their keep- it ing an established allowaneo is afler- hi wards paid by the government. For H example, when Heidelberg lately re- cj ceived licr quota, this instruction concerning them appeared: ThcEinquar- tl licrtcn (the quartered soldiers) shall be contented wirh tho board enjoyed w by tho quartcrer and hi.s family. v< \\rine, beer or cigars they shall noL il demand. In easo cither party id dis- re satisfied, tho following Icgolly-cslab- iy cd bill of fare is to bo adopted as the m daily allowance of each man?0110 and d< a half pounds of bread: three quar- ti ters pound fresh or salt meat, or half tc pound of smoked beef or mutton, or vi third pound bacon; of vegetables, ui (piarler pound rice, or tho customary b< groats, or half pound meal, or threetors pound potatoes; of salt, one quar- cl tor ounce; of coiTeo, three-quarters ri ounce browned, or seven-eighths ouncc ec un brow nod. Tho groat convenience ai of this arrangement is obvious at a glanco. On tho other hand, whilo the Prussians havo possessed this impor- 11 taut advaptago, thcro aro complaints by the French that their commissari- P1 at, owing to tho suddenness of the ln war, has been badly supplied. ' Tho immonso Prussian military ma- 111 chine is susceptiblo of boiDg put in motion as readily as if it included ~ only tho hundred men who used to compose the standiug army of a small Cl German principality. Not only is tho machine as powerful as it can be made 1 by human ingenuity, but it seems to w bo operated by engineers of consum- ? mate abiliiy. Tho war of Prussia with Austria di.scloscd the fact there * was a master spirit in the organiza- [. tioo of armies and the conduct oi' wav ' at the head of Prussian military aflairs. It did not need that contest to ai demonstrate Prussian valor, but what astonished the world Xvirs a celerity of \ military mevemooa equalling that of V' the French* ;wbo need, it) the time* of Napoleon, to dash upon tbeironemfoa like a thunderbolt, andovcrcome them before they had fiiifly wflrmed op to 11 tb^v work, ' ' Much has been said of tterrireartta^. gun, but jt i? Qlea.r enough now that E the chief significance of thai improve- h . !f> ? I tVJ f V/? mc.it was llio cvidcnco it afforded o liio sleepless military enterprise o Prussia, showing more wakefulncs: .ban I'ranco in that respect, for tin nvonlion of the chassepot might nov ;r havo been made, but that it wa> stimulated by the success of the nee lie-gun. Certain it i^thatlho chasse )Ol, though s:\id to by a superior wca)on to I ho Prussian gun, has not vailed to overcome thoso who carrv ho latter, thus seeming to show that I is Hie military system, the discipline ml the leadership, the whole inspired >y an intense national ardor, which uusl bo counted among the prominent gcncies of Prussian success. Allacouuls represent that this most imporant clement of strength has never iceu more fully developed in Germany ban at the present moment. It is .11 i?..i in- iui prouai.uo that tlic Gorman no of country is greater than that 1' any other people. That passion, so owerful in the human heart, and ,-hicdi has been recognized as sacred veil l-y t he voicc of inspiration^ is as niversjil us it is powerful. ]'ut it is be great good fortune of Prussia that t one of the most critical junctures ol er national existence, this immense lotive power, instead of being blown ildly oir and expending itself in vaor and noise, has been seized and aplied li!co_ steam to the propulsion ol l:o vast military machine which the jresighl and ingenuity of Prussia had rcpared, and which thus far seems to c capable of bearing down all resisince. m CLOSE OF A PIOUS CAREER. he Passing Away of the Rev.

Two mitrailleurs wcro brought to play on V them, and in three minutes alter two' ft discharges not ono of the animals remained standing. On a second occasion, 500 horses were brought down at a single trial. This formidable weap- 11 on is constructed as follows: 8 It is a light 37-barrclcd gun, arran- ? gcd that its barrels may be discharged ^ simultaneously, or consecutively. The 37 cartridges, intended for ono charge, Jr arc contained in a small box.

If tho plato bo withdrawn rapidly they follow each other so quickly u that their discharge is all but simulta neous.
