Well, to make a loig story short, he set th-e day, and we practiced for four weeks, every night, how we should enter the ro.Pm to be married till me got so we could walk as gracO. fully as a couple of Mua.covy ducks. The'night, the company and the mii ister came, the signal was given, and -arm in art we went through the hal.

ARTILLERY WON 'IHK BATTLE OF BE DAN. hr. hussell Weites to the Londo: Times, under date -f Donubory, Sep. tobuior 3: And let our soldiers -and statosmen at hoiti, *iake note of thit. The issue of that battle (Sedan) was decidad solely aid entirely by artillery fire. I do not hre mean to say that if the Prusa'ian armilet and the troops of the silieq, ha'd bectn bi-oWgi6 to deal with k-he ClMuch army of MairshaL MuMahoi. t'hy 'Mild 'not ertd would not have beaten it with musket and bayovuots so effectually.

But what I uAsert, after a long exaninattion of the battle-flild ye-terday, and an actual observation.ef the progress of the action itielf, 1is that but for the deoiddd superiorhy and terrible ofteet of the PrusAiMe trtikery fire-, the posi tion of Sed.a could not have been taken without an appalling loss of life whereas it. was.won at a comparatively small expense indeed. It was to the comparative impotontie of the French artillery thrau ilt wa duo . Now, I know th able director of our artil lery at home is bent on making a radical change in our system or ord nance. I do not know how far Colo nel Adve has yet carried his ideas into effect, but all artility officers are aware that tile breach-load ing system has been condemned in England,-arid that a stronous effort, siuccessful at last, has been mado to adopt the muzzle-loading steel gtyn and the shrapnel shell. If Conondl A. had seen the battle-field of Sedan, I think he would have been shaken in his strung conviction, if anything ooutd shake it. I speak of him with the greatest rAspect, but I entreat him to stop and inquire before he carriev a vital change-to icquire into the circumstances of this' battle and to see if lie is not of the opinion of the fallen Emperor, that it was to the superior iiy of artillerynot in numberP' but in weight, range and proci.ion, the victory was due." I do not know what the relative merits of the Arm strong and of the Prutsiant breech lwhders nay be, or what may b'e 'the dererits of or time and percussion fuse ; but it is quite clear that any at tempt to adopt the French muzzle loading system, or anything like it, 6ught tbu t'esisted atronuously until a loareful inqkiy has establised its suip6riority.

It 'is not Ualled in th interest of any parti talar party, or for any special party purpose. Hence all who wore Union men are respectfully invited to mect us on that occasion. Amongst .tie subjects whith will be brough't to the attention of *the meot ing will be something like the follow ing platform of principles: I. To accept in good faith the fo.r twenth nad fiftteenth Am .end m ents to the Constitution of th6 United Statos as the final settlement of the status of the African race. 2. Universal annesty, and the res toration to every man of the civil and political righti which lie eujoyed be fore the wnrt. . Equality and uniformity in taxa tion, so that every section shall pay its proportionable part ; that no in tereit shall be charged with more than its just proportion. 4. Oonpensation to loyal men in the South for property taken for the use of the Guvenoinent ddring the war; and the payment of all claios due citizens of tihe South for services rendered prior to the war. 5 Payment of the public debt ad e6rd*ng to cont ract, and as speedily as is bousistent wit) a due regard for the interests of t, people ; and a fair and equitable distribution of the banking capital in the South IAd West. - 6.
