Lho details of organization, crquipmcnl
and armament of tbo two armies:
Wo commence with tbo infantry a
tbo most important branch of an ar

introduced lor the campaigns in -Algc

dally calculated for field scrvico in i
warm climate or during a summc

the Ikv-L ( !' it in shooting ro

nas'krmcn; they hardly know how to
uke good aim, and appear to take
tartieular pleasure iu wasting amuiiiion.
They advanco l'apidly upon tho
ncmy, lire into tho air to no jiurpor>o
k'hutcvor, ntid when tsiiiHerently near
lay do easily routed by a well directed
iiro from a s?triciiy disciplined eniny,
especially v.dicn followed by ?
rm el.argo of tho bayonet. The
. iia-.^ouiY-a-pied form deeidjd the best
art of the .French infantry, and aiv
ooiJoiiy preferable iu any serious
i;--:u;caei)l and in open battle to the
luch-vauutcd- Lancers and Turcot,
'he A-'iir light !n!';intiy regiments of
l.e J mpcrial Guard, uud tiio twenty
utt.iiiions Uhas6eur-a-pied constitute
i:e flower ol'tlic French infantry, but
ven they cannot competc with tho
Ionium Chasseurs and Fusiliers in raidity
and accuracy of firing.
The jnitraillcur, of which wo havo
icard eo much lately, is found to be
f but little practical uso in tho field,
nd it is already rumored that tho
"rench will renounce it before tho
ampaign is over. Its transportation
crons tlio country ia difficult, and it
i not easily biought into position.
Wherever it cau be made available, a
gbt rifled ploce of artillery doefl much
letter servico.
The French infantry aro generally
ood skirmishers, especially the veteans
who have Bervcd in Algeria,
"hey likrwiso excel in tho rapid bailing-up
of camps, striking of tonts,
nd their peculiar adaption to camp
fe. But on tho field of battlle they
tck precision in all movements in
losed columns, they aro in all their
colutions decidedly inferior to their
crtnau antagonists, Tho out-post
irvico is but iinperfectly and neglicutly
attended to, and French inl'any
can be but very little relied upon
I all night attacks.
The French artillery forms, beyond
II doubt, the best disciplined branch
['the army. The officers are almost
ithout exception men of theoretical
nowledge and of fair practical expect!
ce, while the rank and lile are
imposed of robuft. picked men. The
rave and skilled (ierman artillerists
ill find them to be wortbv
j ID I
ists, with whom it will be r.n honor!
:id a delight to vie in skill and darig
on the battle.field. Franco has
ndoubtcdly brought into action a
eavy forco oi' artillery, and it is
tore than probable that fully twodrds
of the entire contingent of the
\<rnlar army (157 battcrie:j wilh 955
old-pieces) is now thundering forth
gainst tho Prussian line?. Tho French

l'iy.) breecli-loadcrs. A ma2riul
drawback to tho niovcinctiU of
be French artbJery i.s the inl'eriority
nd insufficient training of their horus;
they arc btronij, but clumsy and
low. It i.s the common belief lhat
be German-Prussian flying-artillery
lanccuvcrs with greater dexterity and
apidity than the French and that.
bey easily pass over obstructions ir.
heir way where" French drivers
could be compelled to halt. Jt is a
rcll-known fact that horsemanship is
i :it l...t -i- ?
bin uut iijuijiciciiiiy unuerstooil in
Vance, although remarkable progress
las been made since the advont of
he Second Kmpire. We confidently
nticipato that one-half of tlio horses
f the French artillery will bo unfit

uonth.
Tho weakest point of the Fronch
,1-my is tho cavalry, although 'the
resent JSmperor. has mad<j indefatigable
effbrts towards its improvement.
Pho soldiers do not lack a certain
vild courage, and are apt to hurry on
o tho onslaughts brandishing their
ong swords and uttering tqrriblc

S. a good doal of oxpcrioncc in tho management
of thoir horses, as well as in
active warfare. They are mounted
on small hut strong Oriontal stallions.
Tho heavy Fronch cavalry are tolorbly

v o.f tho lino (Tianccrs and Dragoons)!

?' roplaced as long as Hclgium, Holland.
l" and Spain stick to their prohibition of'
[}- tho export of horses, it is hard to say.
'> This much is ccrtain, whenever and
whorovcr theso dragoons and lancers
6 conic into contact with German cavalry,
they will bo sorely cut up by tho
'> latter.
Tho light cavalry, consisting of
eight regiments of Hussars, twelve
II regiments of Clicsscurs n choval; four
1 regiments ofChcsseurs d'Afriquo, and
1 three regiments of Spanish is dccided1
ly better mounted than tho cavalry
' of the line. They have a good many
Oriental horses, and *t'ie hahinee
j* aro bought up in the Ardennes Vosgrs,
and other mountainous districts of!
L* i iitu'o.
As regards tho arm}* officers there
can be no doubt that the Cierman
corps of cfHeera is superior t<? the
J French iti genera! infeliger.ee in learnJ
ing, a fid in the*-n lieal fctn.lv. and li-.-s

this tin- principle prevails that

as in \v;ir if he shows a certain decree
of intelligence, and is familiar with

Tho staff of the army of tho Korth ;
German Confederation is formed ont
of tho elite ofits corpB of officors, and '
may safely be placed abovo any other
general army staff in tho world. The 1
head and soul of it is tho renowned 1
veteran General, Baron von Moltkc. 1
whoso eminent services during tho
campaign of 1866 are still too fresh in
the mcmoly of every one to need any '
special commcnt hero.
At the commencement of this year |
mo j>ori,n uorman army had fifteen
army corps physicians, two hundred ]
and thirty regimental physicians, thrco
hundred and fifty battallion physicians,
and six hundred and ninety-ono
assistants. This number has boen

outbreak of hostilities.
When in tho field, every army corpp 1
has twelve field hospitals, each for two

Mode of Puepauatior.?Bucliu, ir
vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, tc
form a fine gin. Cubcbs extracted by displacement
with ppirits obtained from Juniper
Berries; very little sugar is used, and
a Buiall proportion of spirit. It is more
palatable than any now to uso.
Bucliu, as prepared by Druggists, is of
a dark color. It is a plant that emits its
frngrance; the action of a flame destroy.*
this (its active principle,) leaving a dark
and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color
of ingredients. The Bucliu in my preparation
predominates; (be smallest quantity
of the other ingredients aro added. Lo nr<i

with your approbation,
