The Artillery Target Practice. Fonninse Monnos, Va., November 19.—The experimental firing, under the direction of the United States Engineers' Department, was Inau gurated to-day. A large number of prominent army oftleere were resnt, among whom we * noticed Generale Del a fiel d , Humphreys, Barnard, Cullum, Benham, Simpson, Tower, Wright, Di nalck, Newton, Thom, Stewart, Gilmore, Casey and Bees; General Ragner and Colonel King, of the Ordnance Department; Generals Barryßrew ertonlio'berts Hayes,of this post.— The firing was conducted by Colonel T. G. Baylor, aesisted by Major W. S. Beebe and Captain Poland. There are three different kinds of targets here for experimental purposes, ail of the latest and most approved patterns. The engineer department has been engaged upon them for some months oast, and they models of neatness and strength, The largest one was ofgranite, and had a small embrasure about four feet from the ground, and is said to have been erected upon the same plan as the "Biprape," or, more properly, Fort Wool. It is of strong stone-work, and supported upon each aide by heavy abutments. The second one is composed of two heavy plates of wrought iron over a foot in thickness, and firmly riveted to gether, the back supported by heavy masonry. The- parapet on one side of this embrasure was composed of concrete, while the other was common earthwork. Toe third target is composed of brick, stone and heavy plate wrought iron, and made to represent the casemate of a fort. It has been gotten up with much care, and it is thouht to be the strongest one of the three. Asi de from these three targets is a large tower, some twenty-five feet high, composed of cut gneiss, a species of stone which has not hitherto been used in the construction of fortifications. Their object , aisto test its relative strength as compared with granite. The firing was first commenced on the target first described with a thirteen-inch smooth-bore gun, the shot being of steel, and weighing 320 pounds. The object of the artillerist was to strike the target at the embrasnre or near it, thus dismounting or- disabling any piece that might have been planted behind it. 'lle first shot Woe well aimed and just grazed the side of the target, going through it and landing safely in a sand butt at the rear. The second was a little higher, striking above the upper right-hand corner of the embrasure, and doing consider able damage. The third struck a few feet above this, scattering the granite: in nil directions. The third fourth - struck _ ,to the right and rear of the embrasure, and did an immense amount of damage, sending large pieces of granite, which would weigh from two to three hundred pounds, some thirty or forty feet to the rear.. The fifth and last shot that was fired at this arget was from a fifteen-inch gun, and struck the target between the umbra sure and the ground, tearing an immense hole in it, and scattering things generally. They made these experiments from a distance of one thou sand yards. •They next tried the embrasure of . • plate wrought iron, the one proposed by General ,_Bernard.. • .The first shot from al3-inch emoothf bore Struck the iron plate fairly in the ,Centre, nearly • brotrig Wolf, smashed the bolts, and completely demolished that'side of the work. A second shot, frog i the 12-Inch rifle which arrived here a few days singe, was fired at the opposite eldp of this "Wert, striking It fairly, and knocking it all into "smithereens." The shot weighed over GOO pounds, and was fired from a distance. of 500 yards. This concluded the day's tiring, and was highly satisfactory to all present, especially tv (tie gehilepacrt of the Ordnance Department. _ _ _ The Ordnance Department have a very Item instrument—Schnitz's Chronoscope—for testing the initial velocity ,of shot. It is worked by electricity in the following manner: ' Two ' wire targets are placed one about twenty yards from the gun, and the second about the same distance further on. These are connected by a fir,e insu lated wire with the Instruments, which are some four hundred yards in the rear of the firing. The instrument is adjusted-on a similar plan , to Bon ton's electro-balistic machine. :When the shot is fired it cuts the wire In the first targei, which is recorded by the machine; the next one being cut In like manner; the interval , of time occupied by tbe ball in passing from one target to the other furnishes the data for obtaining the - velocity of the shot.v • • • The experiments will continue for some days hence, and-it-isexpected that Gen. Gmnt and the Secretary of War will arrive to-Morrow to witness • it. It has been a long time since so runny of._ the prominent army officers have been together,com prieing,as it does,officers of all branches and from every part of tbo - Country. Admirals Farragnt and Porter are expected to be present also some time during the firing. These .experiments are very severe. and are much more so then they would ever be subjected to from ane,pemy. The ordnance is stationery, and the artifferiets the beet which the army af fords. Mr. Walters, ' the photographer from the ( it W ingion Arsenal, was on hand with his ay p Los, abd after each shot took excellent pie tu ecl of the target, Which will be used by the De partment ' - The Report oft General Sherman. The following is'the concltision of the report of General-Sherman, the first' portion of which was published in the Bum - Imm of yesterday: 4:t is idle fortis . ' , 'longer , 'to' attempt to occupy the Plaine in common with these Indians, for the country is not'- susceptible ,of close settlement with farms, like Missouri and lowa, and is-solely _adapted to grazing. All of our people there are necessarily scattered, and have more or less cattle and horses, which te pt the Indian, hungry, and, it may be. starving for want of his accus tomed game, and he will steal rather than starve, and to steal he will not hesitate to kill. There fore, a joint occupation of that district of coun try by these two classes .of people is a simple impossibility, and the Indians must yield. The Peace Commission has assigned them a reservation which, if held for fifty years, will make their descendants rich, and in the mean time they are promised food, whilst they are learning to cultivate the earth and rear tame stock. Weber with their own hands, or even to remain in one place, militates with all the he reditary pride of the ndian, and force must be used to accomplish this result. It was for this reason that the Peace Commission,at its Chicago session in October after the events before de scribed bad occurred and were known to them, was forced to the conclusion that the manage ment of Indian affairs should be transferred back to the War Department, where it belonged prior to 1849. That department of our Government is the only one that can use force promptly without the cir cumlocution now necessary, and no other depart ment of the Government can act with prompt ness and, vigor enough to give any hope that the plans and purposes .of the Peace Commission will be carried out, and even then there ie doubt that the Indians themselves will make the neces sary personal efforts to succeed, and I fear that tuey will at last fall back upon our hands, a mere mass of helpless paupers. lam fully aware that many of our good people, far removed from con tact with these 'lndians, and dwelling with a painful interest ou past events, such as are de scribed to have occurred in Minnesota in - 1863, and attliti - Chivington massacre of 1864, believe that the whites are always in the wrong, and that the Indians have been forced to resort to war in self-detente, by actual want or by reason of our selfishness. . Lars more than convinced that such is not the case in the prevent instance, and I hope I have made it plain. I further believe that the only hope of saving any part of these Indians from utter annihilation, is by a fair and prompt exe cution of the scheme suggested by the Peace Commission. which can alone be done by the Congress, with the concurrence of the Indians tithemselves. Even then it will require muchffi pa tience and hard labor on the part of the office who execute the plan, which I do not wish to as sume myself or impose on other army officers; but it is certain that the only hope to find any end of this eternal Indian war, is in the t . nsfer of the entire business to the War D .- :rtthent; and for Congress to enact the laws :e pro Ade the necessary money, at least a yea i fore it is required to be expended. This le esp - tally ne cessary in the case of the Sioux, because the Missouri river is only navigable in early summer. It is true that in the annual appropriation bill, approved July 27, 1868, and which did not be come public till the Cheyennes, had actually started on the war path—viz: August 3, there was a clause giving $500,000 to be disbursed un der my direction as a member of the Peace Com mission for carrying out the treaty stipulations, making and preparing homes, furnishing pro visions, tools and farming utensils, and furnish ing food for such bands of Indians with which treaties bad been made and not yet ratified, and in defraying' the expenses of the commission in making such treaties and carrying their provi sions into effect as Boon as I.• got a copy of this bill—viz: August 10.—I issued my general orders No. 4, a copy of which is herein enclosed, in hopes that by its provisions I could prevent the difficulties already begun in Kansas from spread ing to the powerful and dangerous tribe of Sioux at the north. This clause in the appropriation bill made no change whatever in the general management of Indians with whom treaties had been made and confirmed, which; as before, re mained wholly with the Interior department. Upon application to General John B. Sanborn, the member of the Peace Commission who had been its disbursing agent, I received a list of the outstanding accounts against that Commission, amounting to about $150,000. I therefore retained that sum of money, and have disbursed thereof the sum of $141,750 19, leaving in my hands at this date a haboace of $8,249 81, Applicable to the few items of account still outstanding. The bal ance of the appropriation,viz: $350,000, were dis tributed as follows: To Gen. W. S. Harney, for the Sioux, $200,000; to General W. B. Hazen, for the Cheyennes,&c., $50,000; to Gen. C. C. Augur, for the Snakes, &c., $50,000; and to Major R. B. Lamatte„, for the Crowe, $50,000. Total, 0 That the Indians will receive the benefit of every cent of this money I know, and the high character of these officers and their peculiar fit-. nese to the trust named, will, I feel assured, carry conviction to all that the disbursement of this money will be in full harmony with the designs and purpose of the Peace Commission, and Con gress. In the same appropriation bill were two other "items of expenditure entrusted to my offich&supervialon, viz.: $200,000 for seeds,farm ing implements, work cattle, and other stock, provided for in article seven of the treaty with the Navajo Indians, of New Mexico, and $12,500 for constructing warehouse agency buildings, black smith and carpenter shop, and school-houses for the same tribe, Navajos. The whole of this ap propriation, viz: $212,500 has been transferred to General George W. Getty, commanding in New Mexico, who will see that it is properly applied. There , Was another item of appropriation in the same bill, viz: $150.000 for the removal of the Navajoce from their old reservation at Boeque Redondo to their present reservation near old Fort Barance, which was subject to the control of the Interior Department: but before the ap propriation bill passed these Indians had actually been removed by my military orders given on the spot, at a cast to the army of less than $50,000, I and am now at a loss to know if this money can be refunded to the army out of the appropriation referred to. I expect to receive from the several officers named in my general orders No. 4, and to lay be fore the War Department before the close of this . year, a full census of all the Indians for whom they are required to provide, with carefully pro pared estimates of funds needed to 'perfect the sysiteni thus liegnnty them:, after which- they can be transferred back to theiecivil agents; or re tained, according to whatever action Congress may take this winter on the several recommendations of the Indian Peace Commission. But knowing the pressing necessities of some of these Indians at this moment., I would ask an early . appropriation of $300,000 for General Harney, and $200,000 for General Hazen. • I deem these sums indiepen 'sable to provide for the peaceful. Indians this winter, and to enable them to make a fate be ginning next spring in their farming operations on the reseriations to whicks they have been or may be removed. ,In conclusion, I will remark that I propose to continue, as now, to have Generals Terry and Augur to protect the Missouri river traffic and the Union Pacific Railroad with jealous Care, and to gather in all the wandering bands of Sioux to the reservation north of Nebraska, where Gen eral -WV& Harney is prepared to feed and pro tect tVem to the extent of the, means subject to my control; to destroy or to punish the hostile Indians of his department, till they of their own volition will go to Fort Cobb, and remain there on the reservation assigned thorn, under the care THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN--PHILADELPHIA, SATURIIA.Y,.NOVEP3ER 21,1868 w , of General W,B. Hazen, who is also 'prepared to limited extent to, provide for their necessities. This double process of peace withintheir reser vations, and.war without, must noon' bring this matter to a conclusion. With great respect, your obedient servant, The Commissioner of Internal 'Revenue has made the following decisions : - -,-- The return prescribed in , section 57 , 0 f the new spirits and (tobacco law should not be required of any person who bad not over fifty gallons of dis tilled spirits in, his possession. for sale, on the first day of November,in 1868. In case of seizure, however, the burden of proof rests upon the claimant under - section 86, and. to avoid the trouble to all parties consequent upon' the deten— tion possible under 41, or forfeiture after thirty days, under section 67, it is advisable that persons having in their possession 50 gallons or less for sale, should, also make the return and have the same gauged.and marked by the collec tor. In such, case,, however, the return is op tional, and cannot be required. No allowance. can be, made for suspension , of work in a distillery by reason of a breakage, until a suspension.has been effected in the man ner required by section 22 of the act of July 20, 1868. The loss between the time of breakage and suspension, according to statute, must be borne by the distiller as an incidental loss, for which the present law affords him no relief. A lease which has been recorded mine pro nune, by order of a state court, since July 20, 1868, cannot be regarded as duly recorded prior to the passage of the act of that date within the meaning of the term as used in section 8.

POLICEMEN IN .I.ltOUßLE.—Sergeant Hause, of the Eighteenth District Police, and Joseph Win mill, of the Police, were arrested on Thurs day evening, charged, on the oath of John Call, with an assault and battery, with intent to kill. They had a hearing before Alderman McDonnell, who held the Sergeant in $l,OOO bail, and the other defendant in $3,500 ball for trial. The prosecution grows out of the arrest of Call on the charge of interfering with the officers in the discharge of their duty. SERMON TO YOUNG MEN.-A sermon especially to young men will be preached to-morrow even ing by the Rev. A. A. Willits, D.

It is too long for your columns; I therefore must omit some -por tions of it, while I try to retain every passage which may throw light upon the author or the man. M. Mires, the banker (who is waging a fierce war on MM. Pereire, the founders of the "Credit Mobilier," etc.), in his last article against them, says: "You came to an understanding with M.A. Dumas, ,Ji., and "La Question d'Argent appeared." N. Dumas refutes, in a humorous manner, this allegation, and then goes on to say: "When I, of myself alone, took it into my head to compose the comedy, in five acts, entitled 'La Question d'Argent,' I sought to patat the character of a man quite common in this age, as well as in past ages, who believes money, no matter from what source it is obtained, supplies at once the' absence of everything else, and then leads to everything—even to consideration. I bad a great many examples before me. M. Mires insists absolutely upon being one of them. Very well, agreed. He will serve just as well as another. He is more widely known. I wished to make my hero.-what is called a good fellow, badly brought up, sprightly, glittering, 'with golden heels, gen erous when necessary, ever charitable—a prince of the sewer, much more like •Figaro than like Turcaret, and capable of becoming honest the day it.proved more profitable to him than the contrary; but meantime cas trated, so to say, of all moral, sense, and liv ing, moving and being in a state *of complete unconsciousness of good and evil. He was to comprehend that he was obliged to use the shoulders of some honest folks, and some people of position, whom he would enrich withlis superfluity of wealth,and who would henceforward become his guarantees aril his protectors. He put hie foot too brutally on the human ladder, which broke, and no fell on tbe , &und just as he was about to scale the last wall he had to climb, . He was somewhat stunned by the fall, he shook - bimeelf like the-dog which received a kick as he *as stealing a piece of meat, and he went on in this way, without clearly comprehending the course of events,until the definitive catastrophe, which one of the char :octets predicted during the piece, and which the author, easily a prophet, gave glimpses of at no distant day. As I wished the action to take place at the present day, I took care to become familiar with contemporary financial questions.. • , Le' Pare Enfantin, with. whom I was quite intimate, engaged me 'to read the politico-economical lectures delivered in Rue Taitbout in 18112, by M. Emile Pereire, at the (lawn of St. Simoniam, and, which were published in pamphlet form.. They had become extremely • rare ; it was, indeed, impossible to find this pamphlet. I -requested Bixio to ask one of the MM. Pereire, whom he daily saw, if he could lend me a copy. M. Bixio gave me, in their name, the only copy they had in their possesalon, and begged I should take the greatest care of it. I read this little pant phiet, wberel found, in germ, all thq great establishments since founded. 'I presented,- as gayly as possible, these' qtiestions, which were rather arduous fora theatrical audience, and I wrote My Whether it was good or bad is not the question. I returned. to Bixlo the pamphlet he had leat me, and the eve of the first performance I sent to M. Pereire one of the best boxes in the theatre. He wrote me to thank , me fora; it. A year afterwards I brbught out "Le Fils Naturel.' M. Pereire, in turn, wished, to rent a box. He did rent it, and a few days afterwards, as I crossed Rue du Havre (what not know came up to me and said, 'I am M. Emile Pereire; we must mate each other's acquaintance.' Some compliments; which anybody may divine, were exchanged be tween us, and since then M. Pereire 'has in vited me to his balls,-and I have invited him to my plays. That's all. M. Mires,is ex tremely ingenious; I defy him,, never thelese, to'make five acts with that. Now,• I declare, very willingly, I have never had the intention 'to put M. Mires personally on the stage. I sought to paint the man whose character I have above explained. If M. Mires was recog nized in it--if he recognized himself, it is not my, fault. But Ido not believe he recognized himself; for, siqce the theatre •amel • iorates morals, had he recognized himeelf, his morals would have been ameliorated—and his letter to-day proves the contrary. The only person then living I have placed on the stage ts s M. Enfantin,an able political economist,as every body knows—an eminent suggester of great enterprises, and as honest a man as the sun ever shone upon. I named him M.. De Cay olio. He did not recognize himself. It seemed to him the most natural thing in the world that everybody should be honest."—Paris Correspondence of Childs's Circular. CITY ORDINANCES.
