THE WAIL Er
There . has as yet been no serious en
gagement between the French and Pru
ssians. Occasional skirmishing takes
place between small scouting parties, but
of no special significance. Both sides
seem to recognize each other's strength,
and that the contest is to be no child's
play. Bath are massing immenae bodies
of troops, preparatory to active work.
Each day's delay is favorable to the
Prussians, who, it seerns to be generally
conceded, were taken by surprise by
Louis Napoleon's declaration of war,
and hence were not prepared for im-
mediate hostilities. 'Napoleon's delay
to strike, can only be accounted for by
the fact, either that he finds_grtissiabet
ter prepared than he oipec7d,' or that
he has been gesitating as to his own
plans of the campaign. The neutrality
of other nations seems to be ensued for
the present Denmark, Spain, Italy,
Austria, - Prussia and England, All hay
ing announced a neutral policy, unless
future .developments require a change.
Prussia hits the sympathy of theidading
Governments, the War being general
ly denounced as without just cause, and
due solely to Louis Napoleon's ambi
tious and selfish purposes,
Intense excitement has been produced
in England by thepublication of a secret
treaty which Louis _lc apokonis charged
with proposing to Prussia in 1866, by
which Frank was to recognize the right
of Prussia t 4 absorb and consolidate the
erman.States, on conditiOn that Prus
sia transfer the Province of Luxem
bourg to France and unite in an offen-
SiNTand defensive alliance for the subju
gation of Belgium and its annexation to
France. This would havegiven France
all the territory west of the Rhine.—
Prussia declined the proposal. As the
integrity of Belgiumls ensured by sol
_
the rowers ai . e a Pirf37this
pre
position of Louis Napoleon, now brought
to light for the first time, is regarded
not only as an act of perfidy to England,
but as throwing light on his presentpur
pose.s. The London Times and other
English journals are very severe in their
denunciations of Louis Napoleon, and
demand that England be at once put on
a war footing. The subject was brought
up in Parliament, where it was officially
announced that full exTlanatiOns would
lw demanded France and Prussia.
TILE Conference of representatives
front the minority cow4ies, which met
in Philadelphia on the 12th inst., has re
sulted in a call for a State Convention,
to be held in Heading, on the 81st of
August, to be composed of delegates
' • favorable to the movement to secure
minority representation," and to consist
of two delegates for each representative
in the lower House of the State Legisla
ture. We have received a copy of the
address issued by the friends of the
movement, in which the object is stated
to be to-"eoncert measures to secure re
presentation for minorities in all mat
ters wherein they are interested.''' The
principle of minority representation has
of late years been gaining ground, and'
we think is destined sooner or later to
be generally recognized. Senator Bucka
lew, of this State, has been urging it for
some years with much energy, on the
basis of cumulative voting, His plan is,
in all cases where two or more officers
are to be elected, to allow the voter to
cast as many ballots as there are officers
to be elected, giving all to one man or
distributing them, as the voter prefers.
For instance, if there be six Councilmen
or other officers to elect, each voter
would be entitled to put in six ballots,—
lie can give one to each or six candi
dates, or two to each of three men, two
to one and four to another, Or all to
one candidate. This would enable min
orities to secure the election of one or
more candidates. The system looks fair,
but is a cumbrous one. Illinois, in her
new state Constitution, hits adopted the
general principle.. How it will 'work, re
li/aillS to be seen,
The propriety of securing minority re•
presentation has been recognized to some
extent in special legislation. In Penn-
syl vania, although the law requires two
Inspoctors of Elections, each elector
votes for but one, thus sechring to each
party a representative in the Election
board. So in the choice of Jury Com
missioners. Under the new Constitu
tion of New York, the setae general
principle was applied to the Judiciary.
Although six Judges of the Supreme
Court were elected, each - elector. voted
for but four, the six highest being de
clared elected. The result was the
-choice of four Democratic and two Re
publican Judges, although the former
carried the State by about 80,000 maj.
ority.

The tax on incomes will be confined to
those who realize an excess of $2,000, af

up to that tunonut are exempted from
taxation. Oa_ all beyond that, 21 per
', cent. must be paid. The bill repeals all

the act of June 30, 1864, and as amend
ed by subsequent acts, except the special
- tax on brewers in that section. This
repeal is not go into effect until May

stands off or openly espopses the cause
of the desperate gambler who rules
Fiance and seeks to dictate to Europe.
Essentially, it is a contest between a
limited constitutional Monarchy repre

tween a people, on one side, who gave us
practical tokens of sympathy during our
own-Rebellion, and an unprineiyled des

of our difficulties to throttle Republican

A SECRET TREATY PROJECT EXPOSED
GREAT INDIGNATION IN EN.GLiND
LONDON, July 21i.--Jhe Time 'this
morning publishes a - project treaty sub
mitted by Fiunoe to the Prussian Govern_
mcnt, and guarantees its authenticity.
The following are the points of this docu
ment:—
The preamble sets forth that the King of
Prussia and the Emperor of the French,
in order to strengthen the ties of friend
ship between the two Governments and
peoples, &c:, hereby conclude the subjoin
ed treaty. In the 'first article Napoleon
admits and recognizes the late acquisitions
of Prussia from Austria. In the second
the Prussian King engages to facilitate the
French acquisition of Luxembourg. In
the third the Emperor acquiesces in the
union of the North and South German
States, Austria excepted. In the fourth
France, finding it necessary to absorb Bel
gium, Prussia lends her assistance to that
measure. • The fifth article' is the usual
one of offensive alliance between the two
nations.
The above treaty was submitted' by
France to Prussia about the time of the
Luxembourg affair.
Palm, July 25.—The Journal 011eiel of
this morning contains the following declar
ation: The French government hair issued
orders that, in the prosecution of the war,
connnanders of the French forces will
scrupulously regard with respect the neu
tral powers' rules of international right,
and that they especially conform to the
principles of the declaration of the Paris
Congress of 1850, as follows:
- Privateering is abolished. A neutral
flag protects an enemy's merchandise, ex;
cept contraband of war Merchandise of
a neutral, except contraban of war, is not
seizable under a foreign flag. The block
ade must be effective, although Spain and
the United Sraes did not adhere to the
declaration of 1856. French vessels will
not seize the property of the enemy when
such property is xbo cargo of a Spanish or
American vessel, provided it is not contra
and of war. France will no longer claim
the' right to confiscate - the property of
Americans or Spaniards found- on board
vessels of the enemy.
The Journal Ofriel announces that the
Minister of War has given instructions to
commence putting in a state of defenoe
and readiness for active service the old
fortifications of Paris and forts beyond the
present line of works. The Journar'also
reports that, in spite of the interdiction
pronoonc . 44l by tip government, certain
journals continue to give taws of military
movements, to the great detriment of the
national cause, The government had
hoped that the appeal made to their
patriotism would be regarded. It will be
a matter of regret if force shall be found
necessary to secure a recognition of the
law. -

LONDON, JULY 25.—The secret treaty
which was projected between France and
Prussia monopolises the attention here of
the public and Barliament. Intense in
dignation is manifested at the duplicity of
the powers concerned. The action of Na
poleon is considered insulting to England.
Ignorance of the negotiation is professed
at the French embassy. A despatch from •
Brussels states that MI account of the treaty
projected between Prance and Nevin which
was printed in the London Times is perfect
ly authentic. The Belgian government
knew of its exisknce a short time ago.

the correspondence on the subject. He
declared England could never have tol

Mr. Gladstone said he was sorry the pa

that he was usable to give the inforMation

astounding. Doubtless the powers im

he expected to show that it originated with
Napoleon, and was awaiting despatches
from the British Minister at Berlin to con
firm this statement. A despatch from
Washington says that Baron Gerolt, the

England is favorable to North Germany,
but the Government is not favorable.."---
Denmark has issued a proclamation/warn
ing sailors and pilots, subjects of that
country, against rendering assistance to
the belligerents: Paris papers report that
a party of Prussians making a recoil

The French fleet recently concentrated at

orders, in regard to the enrolment and
forwarding of North German subjects
liable to military duty, as a telegram de
clared had been issued by the North Ger
man Government to its foreign agents—
that their passage would be paid, etc.—
The Consul General announces that when
ever public notice shall have been duly
given of the mobilization of the North
German forces, all persons liable to mili
tary duty in the service of the confedera
tion will be expected to return home at
their own costs and charges, and shoulder
their guns for the Fatherland. He has no
authority to pay the expenses of soldiers
from the United States to Germany, and
neither Germans nor Frenchmen, under
the laws of the United States, would be
permitted to leave here in large bodies as
soldiers.. There can be no recruiting for

TUE BHiRE FlAwsriEn.
By an inspection of the map of Western
Europe, and the geographical relations of
France and Prussia, attention is at once
drawn to three principal points, viz: the
position of the fortresses which are be
tween the eastern frontier of France and
the line of the Rhine; the route which is
naturally laid open by these fortresses to
the heart of France, and the routes which
connect these same fortresses with the
`great centres of Germany. When the
importance of these strongholds is under
stood, and when it is remembered that
they are in the possession of Prussia, it
becomes easy to understand why France
should be glad of any. pretext .to justify
her in making au attempt to get control
of them. As the famous Italian Quadrila
teral was to the Austrians, so is this Ger
man Quadrilateral to the Prussians. It
enables them to repel invasion and to re
sist any sudden attack; while it reserves
for them a base of operations which is as
favorable for them as could well be con
ceived or desired. The four great fortified
points were, until 1888, Coblentz, Cologne,
Metz, and Luxembourg, but in that year
the latter was dismantled by the Prus
sians, very unwillingly, and only on the
strong representation of the othei- Powers,
which insisted on the fulfilment of the
treaty of Prague, one provision of which
was, also, the abandonment of the fortress
Mentz or Mayence, which has not been
complied With to this day by Prussia.—
Luxembourg having been partially dis
mantled, the Prussians hive since fortified
grgh t illiver7sluir ti= can beplaced -
in a solid attitude, and made to take the
position repently occupied by Luxembourg,
Mentz commands the entrance to the river
Main and covers Frankfort. Coblentz
commands the Moselle; while Cologne and
Ehrenbreitstein command the Rhine at
their respective positions. In addition to
these strongholds, the Prussians have)
planned an entrefiched camp at Treves.—
Such is the German qUadrilateral, which
is so situated, moreoier, that a Prussian
army sheltered within it would be able to
attack in Hank or rear a French army
entering Germany through B y lden or
Rhenish Bavaria; while, on the other hand,
the road to Paris is comparatively uncle
, fended. By way of Saar Louis, Germers
heim and Landau, Prussia can launch all
the forces she has accumulated behind the
Rhine, between Coblentz and Mentz, di
rectly upon the feeble points of the French
frontier btsr.C2P S4aoNOtk• anti Mentz,
leaving Alsatta isolated by the Vosges,
and turning Aleuts by the route through
Nancy, she may march direct upon Paris.
It should not be forgotten that Coblentz
is connected with Mayence by a double
line of railway on either side of the Rhine,
and ggit Cologne is also connected with
Coblentz by railway and hy ate Rhine it
self; 4 1 4 troops can be
sent to Germendreim by two different rail
ways, and that the flue which runs from
Sarr-Louis divides into two branches, the

An upward stroke with the palm of the
right hand against the chamber knob opens
the breech, the cartridge is inserted into
the cavity of the barrel, a push. forward
and a downward stroke of the chamber
knob with the right hand close the breech,
and another push on the needle chamber
(with its spiral spring) completes the load
ing, and the rifle is ready for "Fire."—
During the whole movement the gun is
held with the left band at a "ready."'
3.' The gun is never loaded or reloaded
while, at "aim," simply because it is im
possible to do so.
4. The powder is not ignited at the'rear
end of the cartridge, but next to the ball,
where the igniting matter is placed in a
kind of socket of papier mache; and this
is what gives more power to the ball, the
powder burning from the front to the rear.
6. The cartridge is made ,up ball in
front, ball socket with igniting matter,
powder. The shape of the ball resembles
the shape of a cucumber, and is called
long lead (lung bki).
6. The recoil of the gull is only felt
when it becomes very much heated and
the air chamber filled with the refuse of
powder. When clean no recoil is felt at
all.
7. In ease the needle should bivalc or
bend or otherwise become useless, a new
one can be inserted in less than five sec
conds; each soldier carries an extra supply
of about six needles.
It is not much the superiority of the
needle-gun over other breech-loaders which
has secured, and in all probability will in
the present, struggle secure, success to the
Prussian army, as it is the thorough edu
cation of each individual soldier and his
perfect familiarity with his weapon.
The needle-gun was first used in Prussia
in 1848 and 1849, in Baden and Schleswig,
and not having been deemed effective
without an entire change of tactics, and
especially of skirmish instruction, was al
most condemned.
The Prussian army has but one calibre
for all small arms, so that infantry or
sharpshooters can be supplied with cart
ridges from any cavalry, pistol or carbine
cartridge wagon.
THE CHASSEPOT RIFLE,
Which - is regarded as the most formidable
weapon ever put into the hands of a sol
dier, resembles the Prussian needle-gun,
but possesses several improvements. Du
ring the late war between Prussia and
Austria the effective work of the newly in
vented needle-gun attracted the notice of
all fighting nations; and the French an
ticipating that they would some time be
called upon to encounter Prussia on the
field of battle, immediately set to work to
invent a weapon that should surpass the
needle-gun in its power as an engine of
' war. The result was the inventiottrby 3L
Chassepot, after long and careful study,
having the Prussian gun to aid him and
improve upon. After the new rifle had
been tested over and over again, the at
tention of the Emperor was invited to it,
and it was not long before he was con
vinced of its superiority, and ordered its
adoption in the army.
One of the principal improvements
which the Clniasepot has over the needle"
gun is that the movement is simpler, and
instead of being tightly enclosed in the
breech by a cylinder, it is almost fully
ex
posed. The employment of India rubber
as an obturator is also another novelty.—
It is argued that the needle-gun, after it
succession, Becomes hot and damp in the
chamber, owing to the inability of the gas
which comes back after the explosinn of
the cartridge to escape, The inside soon
becomes dirty, and the soldier is requited
to take his piece apart and clean it. The
Chassepot is only open, and while there is
r 9 gas shut up in a chamber to corrode the
metal, it can in a moment be cleansed
from dirt or rust, and the soldier is always
able to quickly to discover any accident to
his weapon. It is alai) claimed that the
Chassepot is not so easily clogged as the
needle-gun, and Is more substantially
built.
There is an opening on the right hand
side of the chamber for the insertion of
the cartridge. The chamber is filled by a
movable cylinder, which may be moved
back or forward by a handle. The cylin
der surrounds ipe shaft and revolves
around the ram: it contains the spring
by which the needle is propelle4, Pie
rear ett4 . 4 814 Inaiie shape
of a beadle, The sring is compressed
when the handle is drawn back. A
shoulder on the shaft comes in contact
with the cylinder when the arm is at rest.
When loaded and ready for firing the two
parts are drawn asunder. The shaft also
serves to protect the needle, which is ow
roringedfurcet}out of
the front end of the shaft es soon as the
trigger is pulled. After the cartridge has
been inserted the knob is pressed forward
and is then laid over to the right band side.
The aperture is then closed. By the first
of these two movements the cylinder is
moved forward, thereby forcing the cart_
ridge into the breechi the second move.
merit securea the cylinder so that it oan be
thrown back by the force of the explosion.
The pulling the trigger releases the spiral
spring, which then forces the 'wile
through tie percussion wafer,. and as
plodes the powder is the cartridge.
The Chassepot is handed in the folloiv
ing manner: While loading, hold the gun
in the left hand with the butt end resting,
on the left hip. The lever is then turned
with but one movement, from right to
10%1 1 44 with NIA lzikok,' al*
which the cartridge is inserted into the
opening thus effected. By a third pure
went—pushing back the lever into its ori
ginal position—the gun becomes ready to
be tired oft The projectile is a rather long
lug with the end rounded and pointed like
our rifle ball. The charge, which is at
tached to it in a paper covering, is com
posed of a 'peculiar powder, specially man
ufacturvi for the purpose. The distance
at which'thlii gun carries with certainty is
very considerable—over 1,000 metres : —.

THE WAR-STRENGTH OW ERWLAND
As England has evinced a disposition
to pitch into the war between France and
Prussit‘nn the slighest pretext, it may be
interesting to examine her military and
naval resources, so as to be enabled to
form a tolerably exact opinion of the
weight she might have iu the scale in case
a general European war, which would cer
tainlSr follow any interference on her part
,in the present contest. We are indebted
to the Buffalo Express for the following sta
tistics: "There are At the prmut moment
in the United Kingdom, belonging to the
regular forces, setenty,nue bAttalions of
infantry, twenty-four regiments of cavalry,
ten batteries of the Royal horse artillery,
and siltty-seven batteries of field and gar
rison artillery; the whole making a total
of about 85,000 men. The armed and uni
formed militia muster 125,000 men, and
the volunteers 'nearly 200,000 more. To
these must be added the armed pensioners
- - •
strength we have no means of correctly
ascertaining. Without these, however,
there is thus shown a total of N 11 3 ,400,000
men, the 'regular' force of whom are in a
state of discipline inferior to that of no
Continental army, and all of whom have
had a very considerable, amount of train
ing. The white troops in India amount in
numbers to about 30,000, of course exclu
sive of a large army composed of natives.
The remainder of the regular army is
scattered;throughout the various colonies
and dependencies, but the aggregate
strength of those thus stationed is to-day
inconsiderable, and no eircumstame is
likely to arise to induce their re-call.
The R4al Navy consists of upwards of
of forty first-claw iron-clads in commis
' sion, manned by 20,000 seamen, nearly all
of which force could be put to sea at
twenty-four hours' notice. , The geet now
cruising in the Englisk Citqamel eoughlte
of nine jrcprela4s, including the Monarch,
the Captain, and other ships of nearly
equal Power. Fifteen more are under
orders to Join them immediately. BLx
other iron-clads are cruising in the Medi
terranean. The North American squad
ron consists of six iron-clfuls, and of t wenty
three other war steamers, the whole carry
ing ithent 4 5 0 gtPle: These tames by no
means represent, however, the whole naval
strength of Great Britain, but simply that
portion which is at the present moment on
active service. Its entire force may, how
ever, be to some extent gathered from this
statement."
From this statement of luilitary and
naval strength it will be seen that Great
Britain, although she has lost some of her
former prestige, is still a mighty power
both by land and sea, and that whichever
side she espouses in the the struggle, will
have a powerful ally,
