THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1870. THE SCIENCE OF WAR. Iee1pnnt f.r De.irucure larp..ta M.nU i tfN the ftlnrilllrur, UhnM!t nat Needier W lint iKe AMtncKi ar IV.duord. The London Btatuiad of AngiiHt 13 has tUe fol lowing sugrresttve article: In the present ape ever war seems to be charac terised by the appearance of some new ai?ent of de struction. The Kreneh campniRti in Italy showed the prowess of rifltd cannon. Tho A ni-ncsn strnfr C'e aeYeioped tron-rla is, monitors, ami torpedoes. The war between Prussia hqI Austrln OAUbllt-tied the reputation of brecch-iouditig tirnarms. Now comes the conflict between Franiin find Prussia, la which the mitrailleuse has mndo Iwelf notorious. Itnt at present the mitrailleuse hiis n. dmililful ratne, aud in order t test It the BMtlsh Government has set on foot an extensive series ol experiments at Hhoeburnes. The particular kind of mltralU'nsf which we are thus trying Is the Moutiirny, as improved by Major Foslery. But we coulees to a pood deal of surprise at the siow rate of firing ai.'ouuip i.-cn-il by this weapon. The nine-punnder orou.e Held gun for India, a miiMle-louder, has been made to dnllver eleven ronnds In two minutes, while tiic Mniigny, on ThursdHy and Fi Iday, never weni beyond six. It was reported that the mitrailleuse could accom plish ten rounds per minute, whercss we llnd It de liters only three. Something Is s tid about the car tridges not being properly adapted to the gun, whereby two sources of Celay are occasioned. In th first pluce the cartridges do not always go readily Into the barrels, and in the next place the empty caes are not always eftY'dually wli.lidrawn. Therefore it cannot be said that the mitrailleuse Is working with Ita maximum eil'cct. A oothor ques tion ia this whether Major Kostiery's alterations have reduced the speed with which the machine can be worked. It seems remarkable that a muzzle loading field gun should be made to fire at very nearly twice tne rate of an apparatus In which ma chinery Is designed to give the utmost rapidity to ihe discharge of bullets. Nor does the mitrailleuse transcend the Held trim in the nnmbcr of bullets which it throws In a given time. stx discharges of the mitrailleuse, accomplished in two minutes, send 'I'i'l bullets againnt the foo. But the Indian gun, firing case shot, launches 110 bullets at each dis charge. On the first day ten rounds of case were thus tired In two minutes, which would amount to 1100 bullets, or about Ave times an many bullets as the mitrailleuse sends forth when Ured at Its present maximum of six times In the two minutes. Neither are the bullet of the Held gun much lighter than those of the mitrailleuse, if the new machine were to fire at the rate of ten volleys per mtuute it would only dlschnrge 810 bullets, while live rounds of case from the Indian gun would propel 550 bullets. In the matter of range the Ueld gitu In all probability will be found highly d- structlve nt a distance which will render the mitrailleuse powerless. What, then, can be said In favor of the new ma-;hlne? It Is far less wasteful of Its bullets than the Held gun tiring case shot. The Montlgny has a much higher per centage of hits than the Held gun. But our correspondent at iShoeburyness argues the matter thus: ''As the business of war Is to destroy the enemy. It would be more to the purpose to put 1 &0 men hirude combat with a waste of elgnty per cent, of bullets within four minutes than to bring down ninety only within the same period by the highest economy of a few pounds of lead." It is fair o observe that the data employed In this argu ment are derived from experiment til which pre cision and nol speed was the object desired. We may take au Instance in which both precisian and speed were required. Thus we llnd the Montlgny tiring six rounds in two minutes, comprising 22i bul lets, giving 178 hits, which the 12-punnder breech loader Ured nine rounds, giving 1241 bullets, of which only KiG hit the target. lu thus comparison the Montlgny placed seventy-three cavalry or e'ghty (our infantry horn tie combat, aud the Held guu seventy -two "cavalry or seventy-nine infantry. We therefore see the Montlgny making nearly as many hits with 82'i bullets as the 12-pountor Held gun with 148 bullets, and the etrect on troops is slight'yin favor of the mitrailleuse, moreover, this occurs despite the unsuitable cartridges which have plagued the new weapon at Shoebnryness. Could the speed of the Montigny ba treble 1, or even doubled, the results would be immensely af fected. It remains to be noticed that the Montlgny Is considerably less than half the weight or tub Indian gun and can be served by one-third the num ber of men, or at most by one-half. It also requires only one-third the iumber of horses. We may be allowed to ask, If iho mitrailleuse be bronghc up to the weight of the nine-pounder what will then bo the relative merits or the two arms? If the barrels of the mitrailleuse continue the same in number we may have an enlarged calibre and Increased range. Or if the calibre Is unaltered we may per haps double the number of barrels. If with one or the other of these advantages we couple increased speed, who skull say that the mitrailleuse will Dot be a marvellous power in modern warfare? In forming a judgment on this question very much de pends on whether we consider the Montlgny or Shoeburyness as beirg capable of a slight degree of Improvement or of a development which shall greatly enhance its powers. For the present Its position Is defined as being somewhere between small arms and artillery . l)ut the mitrailleuse may yet "move on," and It may give us a surprise after the manner of the needle- gun. NATIONAL rECULIilUTlES. How IbelFreneh nod liermam Deport Them Hrlvea After linlile. A Forbach (August 10) correspondent of the Lou don Time writes as follows: The heights taken by the French on the 2d are in Germany. The heights taken ny tue oermans oa the bth are la France, and both battles fought be tween jSaifrbruckcu and Forbach were fought across the frontier, which is marked only on the high rxad by a milestone. Kver since the morning of theTth troops have been passing In one ucoroken stream tnrougn Muaronu-Ken towarns roroacn aua ssl Avoid. The soldiers believe the outposts to be lu the Immediate neighborhood of Metz, and are counting the uuruber of days that it will tako them to get to fans, liut, in spite ol ti.elr marvellous success, the Prussians are still a long distance from the French capital I forget now many marcnes, ana men there are oh stacles in the way which may or may not prove formidable. The first person I saw tin entering the enemy's country was that disconsolate woman who sit moaning on tne mresnoia or ner ruined inn. hone the Htuto of this rioor woman is not to be looked upon as typical of that of all France. As to the people of Forbach I can say nothing, they having for the most part left the town. The shops are sunt, most or the caiea ana noteis are turaed inte nosnt talB, and there are no French, except prisoners muter scort, to oeseeu in tne grxecis. The behavior of tne Prussians in such inns and hotels as are still kept open and still devoted to tneir ordinary purpose is Biuaiousiy courteous; Dut we are still omy seven miles from Sasrbrucken. and Forbach has only been in the hands of the Prussians for the last three days. Already I hear of a French peasant having tired at a Prussian soldier, and a proclamation, in the usual lorai, signed by General Xastrow, has een Issued, warning the French of the penalty with which such offenses, and all offenses ol a lesser decree, nut or tne same tm.i, win tie visited Troops are still pouring In, as they have been doing incessaniiy since jnouuay. I But for tne admlrablo organization of the Prus ians there would be a famine both here and at Naarbrucken. But at Saarbrueken everything can be had ; and Forbach, now that troops have passed through the city by tenor tnousanas, by myriads, nas only been exhausted or seiizer waieraoa cigars, The army carries ita own provisions, aud 1 observe that in some cases tne provisions carry the clot ties. The military batchers in charge or oxen nave folded their (treat coats, after the regalation method, and hung tlieiu, like horse collars, over the ue kh of the unhappy beasts, nu) w non vovu, lnaeeu: THE DEFEASE OF PARIS. The Fortification, mod Haw Thev are Manned furl u. eec.na neuamapsi. Writing under date of Angus' 21, the Paris cor respondent or tne Ttmt says: "ine capital is losing no time. A Committee of Deiense and For. tittcation has been appointed, cons'stiug of Trochu and other generals and of the Ministers of War audPubac Works, ai. tniers may d most be said to belong to it, nlthougn ma Dimi jes not ngure In the list. The father o the formications which were so long deemed useless, the present Government is glal to lisum to his advice and profit by his experi?nc. If iuprade censors had shown eoual good snse, Paris wouk ot now te in the paiuiul necessity oi preparing for a siege. The vanity and lolly of t';ie uilivier Cabinet iiave rendered it deaf to good eocnsei, or it would have waited to ngnt Hermans ui.-.:. a n.ii received real provooatiou. Having so loiig endured the state of tbings eajabllshed by i.;? war of Ism, it might have borne It rA'her longer, until Bismarck, by further encroachments, save them better cause of otiarrei. That was the advice they reoeivo l fru'.n M. Thiers, and Franca now bitterly expiates its veje 't.ou. Thiers, however, Is the last man to th.nk of past alights when the oppost unity occurs to be useful to his country, ana he has applied himself, with all the vigorand ardor of youtu, to the o'test.ioa of the defense of the capital. In spile of lit svenrv-three years, ha ia out for hours before hreaust of a morning, driving round the forue cation with m. rnilhc men, and giving th'ru the benefit of his angges'.lobi. lervbody aee id a to work with a will. lucre a a good deal of work to do. H i: it Is being got through apace. Paris is bevoniroj' a gr u' seoasu jmiI onedf the titrongest and in'.-;a:ii:y b far the largest foitresa in existence. Irs ,, u or encir V ing wall consists of li.udj-sU fronts, each ironl, a rnsny f your readers know, comprising two demi bastions and the intervening curtain. Now, to give you nn Idea of this by the aid of comparison, the most remarkable fortresses in I'.urope, such as M-tz. 8trasburg, Magdeburg, Mantua, have, ir mv memory serve me, each from twelve to sixteen fronts. This fvtirmn is armed, for the present, with 600 pieces of Brtlllrry.which Is merely what Is called the armament ol security, and would, doubtless, be augmented, supposlug'thc exterior defenses to have fallen before the enemy's fire and SRSnUlts. The sixteen external forts hsve each 100 guns, making In all 8900 pieces of heavy artillery, and there are a few hundred more In reserve. For every gun there is 1000 rounds of ammunition, which enormously exceeds the usual allowance. On the line of the forts, Deldworksof great strength are being constructed. The forts are manned by first-rate troops, artillerymen, and expe rienced gunners from the navy. The skill of these gunners In handling and pointing their pieces Is said to be extraordinary. The report of the intended destruction of the Bois de Boulogne is contradicted. Only a strip of It is to be sacriilced, nod that will not be done until the list moment In addition to the defenss already enumerated, there will be an army outside of Paris, manrrnvring and fighting under the guns of the forts, and covering the en tranceof supplies. No doubt seems felt of keeping open the communications with the south. As long as the forts are not taken there will be little dantrer for the cltv from the cnemv's fire. It Is sangulnely anticipated that they could hold out for a very long time. Th" Parisians are believed to be ready end willing to stand a siege. The Prussians, if they sat down before the place, could not invest It, and they would lie at a great dlHtnnc e from their supplies. Phould they try it, they would Ond everything ready to receive them It is supposed the Government of France would then be established elsewhere per- iiflps at J ours or liourges ana tne ( tovernmont or Paris would be, as now, in the hands of Oeneral Trochu. who has Just ls.-med two proclamations, one to the National Guard and other defenders of the capital, and the other to the army of Paris. The General is very nappy in tne composition or docu ments of this kind, which are remarkable for tholr brevity, simplicity, and energy, and for the absence of clap-trap and theatrical effects." JOHN BB0WK8 GRAVE. Tbe Bade Cemetery nt North F.lba. A correspondent of toe Newark Advertiser at St. Regis Lake writes: " I he mountains of the wilderness are as remark able as the lakes. So taking special conveyance from l'aul Smith's (St. Regis) and Martin s (Lower Hcranac), we determined to see tnera. Ttiere was no disappointment of expectation. You might bury all the famous White Mountains of New Hampshire and Green Mountains of Vermont among the Adl- rondacks and nardiy una tneir graves, as uoquette is queen of the lakes, so Marcy is king oi the moun tains, lie is the Saul of the hills, holding his royal crest B46T feet above the level of the sea.

'It is in this wild region that you find the grave of John Brown. North Klna is a little cluster of five or six insignificant buildings, you stop near by, cut across lots on foot, and in ten minutes confront a small square plot enclosed by a board fence, within which lies a Luge rock some eight feet high, and In front of which is sodded one large grave. "on the oroad top or tins bonnier is cut in deep Jettt rs the words 'John Brown, isr.9.' The grave has In it live bodies, and the inscriptions upon the rude grav headstone are these: On tliefront, In memory ol Captain John Brown, who died in N. V.

By means of Miss Kate Field a company was formed in New York some two years ago, which purchased and owns the place, a small part being retained by Mrs. Brown, who, with the two surviving sous, re sides now lu California. The whole farm is rented for two a year to a Mr. Lawrence. The place Is much frequented by tourists, sometimes during the summer as many as six or eight teams coming dally. It was here that the fiery spirit burned aud that brain conceived and worked out the daring projects enacted only eleven years ugo. Is it only this short time? or is the marvellous history of our country for that, brief period merely a dream?
