Mention is made by .the London Specta tor, in an article on the Dano-German quar rel, of a rumor that the surrender to Aus tria of the three West India Islands belong ing to Denmark was to be one condition upon which peace would be made. These are the small islands of Santa Cruz, St. Thomas, and St. John. They form part of the Virgin Islands, and have little value except what is derived from geo graphical position. St. Thomas, by far the largest, is a station of the British West India Steam-paelretCompany, whose terminus is Southampton, but is of small importance in any other respect. The area of the three islands is only one hundred and ninety-seven square miles, (or about a third larger than our own Philadelphia county,) and their united population is only 37,3 F It happens that Austria has no colonial possesgions, and we are induced•to think that if:these Danish West India Islands are surrendered to her, it must be to qlve her ,a stand-place near the New World. But the Spectator,. which mentionsJhe rumors Of their surrender, adds, ( 6 These- are incredi ble, as Austria could only take them to sell them again either' to Spain or the United States, in return for concessions in Mexico." Ineredibbnor not, the thing is possible. - One of the 'cUritisities of living polities is the conversion of seemingly impossible into probable and even actual' events. For ex ample, bad any person risked the pro phecy,-ftve years' ago, that a strong party, in and' 'out of the British Parliament—a party including some of the very men who thirty years before had voted one hundred million dollars to destroy slavery in the British dominions—would sym pathize with the slafeholders of the South ern States of the glut American Union, his prediction would 'have shared the fate of CASSANDRA'S, and. been ridiculed and rejected. It is possible, therefore, that these Danish West India - Islands, situated not far from Cuba and Hayti, may be transferred .to Austria.: But as the rest of the West Indies are held by England, Spain, Franee, Reiland, and ; Sweden, it is clear that Austria *ever would be able to hold hbr new but small accession of terri tory against her neighbors. Her object ,in getting it would he, as the Spectator hints, to bribe Spain- or the United States into showing favor to Mexico. • , Here, then, is the chance of interference, by Auetria aSmell as' by France, with the Monroe doctrine: Nor -Carl it be out of place or -time .here to state what this doc trine is; and under what circumstances PresidentkonnoE asserted it as our na tional policy. When the South American States bade nearly won their independence, it was obvious that England, ever on the look-out for'new markets, had given— them not, only her strong sympathy, but the more material aid of money, arms, and men.- In September, 1823, Mr. Canmiret, then Foreign Minister of Eng land, made a speech at Plymeuth, in which he announced the forthcoming recognition of the Smith American Republics, and sub sequently boasted " I called the _New_ World into existence, to redress the balance of the Old." Cminuco's eloquence fre quently ran, as in this instance, into the manner familiarly called " highfalutin,' " but there generally was something tangi ble among the flowers. President MoNuoz, a shrewd statesman, foresaw in the British policy which CA NIVING boasted of the coming shadow of European interference in the af fairs of the New World, and especially of North America, and, in his Message of De cember, 1823, promulgated the doctrine that any attempt on the part of the European Powers to extend their system to any portion of the New World would be regarded by the United States as " dan gerous to our peace and safety," and this principle has been respected by foreigners and maintained by our own successive rulers, until Lours NAPOLEON, taking ad vantage of our being occupied in a terrible "war, invaded Mexico, overthrew the re public there, and erected a throne upon 'which, as pro tempore occupant, he has placed an Austrian mock-emperor of his own making. Of all the - Presidents *lto have governed, this country, not even Joni Qurxrcv AnaVs excepted, (though • his experience 'was great,) none was so fully master of fo reign politics He had been diplomatical ly employed both in France and Spain, and be lied served as Secretary of State, under President MADISON, from 1811 until 1817, when he took his seat in the Presidential chair. The Monroe clrictrine was no im mature or hasty conception and enuncia tion, but a deliberate declaration of Na tional policy calculated and intended to •ciraw a broad line between the governing prineipld of the old nations and the new. Aggression was*nown to prevail in that principle, which is Monarchical, while re publicanism like ours does not seek distant countries in order to subdue and " annex " them. In a ivord, the Monroe doctrine em phatically proclaimed the incompatibility of the European and the American sys tems of ~rnle. ~Vitherto, Europe has not sought to violate this restriction. When Neroixox invaded Mexico, he publicly an nounced 'tliat'lle 'did so merely to obtain payment ofsuins alleged tab° due, in Mex ico, to French citizens, and that he' lied no purpose of setting aside the ' existing feral of government in that country. When England .and Spain, who had been with hint in that invattignOo' a certain extent; discovered real aim was, - they honorably deplined to 'conspire against the political rights of <Mexico ; they -refused to violate the Monroe doctrine, and withdrew the ships and the soldiers they had sent to Vera Cruz. Although detected - , exposed, and repudiated, - NAEopEoN still held on to his evil purpose, overthrew therepublic and set up a mock-monarchy with a nominee of lis own as nominal 'head." • Spain has not, yet acknowledged MAXI -2.InAAR as - Emperor of Mexico, 'and Eng land has emphatically deCiared,- through 'lord PALmEnsTem, that she cannot ac knowledge him yet awhile ; indeed,..not ?until he is ruler de facto. Is another Bur°. pean Power coming in to assist NA:Poi:EON in violating the Monroe doctrine ? Is Aus tria going to' back up the Prince of the House of Hapsburg who is playing with the crown and` sceptre.in Mexico ? We do not build on the probability that Austria may obtain a footing, however slight, in the West Indies, but on the undoubtqd fact That the Emperor , of Austria has autho rized the forini . ition of several regiments in ills dominions, to be sent into Mexico for a certain term of service—probahly to re.► Place the Prench troops , who are to be gradually withdrawn and returned home. If the enlistment of these Germans is to be voluntary, it will be some time before the ranks are full. The botuxty_money is fixed at the liberal sum of $25 per man, in' return for4Welt, independent of the brumes ofi4 t y . ,,pqr fever and the vomit°, Tinclivok.4tice..lovile g e of lighting svi ,%thenittivre trope under President Ztrattuz. : • Even '&4:adrift had tke three little Vir gin Islanda-ilt*rand, this e.cnritry is net -,4 to be bribed—no, not if Cuba were offered— into an abandonment of the Monroe doc trine, which has been her fixed policy for over forty years. But ally Austrian effort to strengthen Maximuthaf in Mexico yrill be a violation of that doctrine. The Oxidation and Decay of Mims. The oxidation and decay of vessels, whether of wood or iron, and vs-nether sheathed with copper, zinc, or other metal, has always proved an U nmitigated source of trouble and expense to ship owners and out of the Government s c e a r p v t i a c i e n . s, l i t l is and not merely the waste ofma terial from this cause which constitutes the pecuniary loss, but to the bill of expense must be added such, items as the loss of time occasioned by the retarded speed of the fouled ship, and the loss of time and money involved in hauling it into dock, thoroughly- cleansing, and repainting it. The subject, it will therefore be seen, is one of material importance, and merits the investigation and patient research which for upwards of a century have been de voted to it. The journal of the Franklin Institute for last month reprints from the journal of the Society of Arts a resume of the various processes to rec tify the evil, for which patents have been taken 'out in England. From this it appears that the practice of dipping timber in oil is so ancient that its origin cannot be traced. The first patent for the preservation of timber was taken out in . 1839 by ALEXANDER ENERTOIT, and con sisted in preparing planks with oil, and then coating them with compounded poisons, powdered glass and sand, the 'whole being covered with a layer of paint. In. 1790 a patent was secured for preserving copper plates, by covering them with lead or tin. In 1739 Joni OxFonn patented a method -of preserving both iron and wood, .by pre paring tar to stop the evaporation of the oil therein, and saturating it with• chlorine gas. This oil is then mixed with white 11ad, carbonate of lime, and purified' coal tar, and the mixture is l applied as a paint. In 1830 attention was first'directed to gal- Vanic action as an anti-corrosive agency, and in this year Mr. BIINTAS and Mr. Jon's REVERSE patented inventions based 'upon this idea. Two years later Captain H. W. CRAW FORD, R. N., proposed to _protect copper and iron with a coating of fused zinc paint, over which was laid'a covering of pure or alloyed tin. Mr. J. R. NEILSON brought forth an invention in 1640 for the applica tion of copper, or copper alloyed with zinc or tin, to the surface of iron; and in the same year Mr. Artrilun WALL suggested, as ...a composition to prevent corrosion, steel filings heated to redness, and mixed with dilute muriatic acid. I,n the, following year no lees than three competitors for the honor of solving the . problem appeared in the field. The first, Mr. W. Navrros, employed silicates of potash or soda for making' a plaster or coating to prevent iron from rusting. The second, Professor MIL LET, an engineer of Dublin, applied chemi cal means to detach the scales of oxide from 'the iron, then plunged_ it into a zinc bath : "After undergoing a series of pro cesses, the metal is coated with an alloY or zoofagous paint, which is rendered poison- ous by admixture of salts of metals." The third experimenter in this year was a „gen tleman named Monswoon, who conceived the idea of preserving iron from oxidation or rust by tinning it, and then. dipping the tin covering or surface in molten zinc. I In 1849 Mr. C. H. Paws suggested that the metal should, after cleaning, receive an application of gum water, in , which pow dered glass should be shaken, and this should then be fused, forming it -. vitreous surface. Mr. 3. Kw Isms . ; in 1852, in troduced a paint made from decomposed india-rubber and fatty matter saponified by metallic salts, with lime foi thickening the liquid. The use_ of quicksilver on iron plates for sheathing ships was proposed in 1853. Patents were taken out in each suc ceeding year up to 1861, when the resume closes, for various Pigments desigied to in terrupt corrosion, none of which seem to have come into general use, however. 111 -1.6.5 e ._tha__manufaeture_rie....poteototu m . oils, for preserving metals and ships' sheathing, was protected by letters patent, secured to Messrs. BANCROFT and WRITE. What has become of the invention it is dipicult to say, for nothing has since been heard of it; but it seems not at all impro bable that coal oil may yet prove the most effective agency to accomplish the desired object, if combined with some other preservative substance to give it the neces sary consistency and " body ;" in which case the commercial value of this article, which is now one of the leading exports of the country, would of course be largely enhanced. In 1856 a gentleman named Mr. Melrs'nxs obtained a patent for coating metals with powdered emery stone, mixed with a varnish of shellac dissolved in spi rite of wine, with the addition of castor oil. As emery contains 87 per cent. of alumi nium, Mr. MclssEs considered that this paint would be solid enough to resist all action in the water. On the estate of La Gruerie, in Charney, France, is found an earth of the ochre description, called "Burgundy Red," which is said to be an exceedingly good preservative against rust, when mixed with lime, grease, and. Roman cement. In 1854 asphalt° bi tuminous compounds and caoutchouc, were severally proposed as anti-corrosives: And in the succeeding year, among several other less notable conceptions, it, was pro posed to apply equal parts of pitch, tar, resin, and turpentine, with any otlier ad hesive compound. " Assaktida is to be mixed with the foregoing, as a poison to destroy life. When the coating is laid on, and dry, the whole is to be covered with paper or cloth." These seem to embrace the main results of British experiment and investigation in this special branch of scientific research'to• the close of 1861, since which period we have heard of no extraordinary invention likely to obviate the difficulty under con siderationi It is remarkable that thain- quiry for the most part has been directed to the preservation of the metals from oxi- _ - dation and deeiy, although iron ships are a comparatively modern innovation, and the sway of the "wooden walls," even now, is almost as indisputable as ever. *hatever revolutions our present war, may effect" 'liirsral architecture, it may be ac cepted as an established fact that iron can never whollY supersede wood -and it is, therefore, strange that inventors have not made greater efforts to render the lat- ;ter material less perishable in character. The Scientific American, lately noticed the discovery in one of the abandoned cop- per mines of ,SA. Domingo of "an old wooden wheel which had been employed for some me . 1 1 1 1111 1 111111111111111 l when the . . mine was formerly worked.. The exact age of the wood no 'one seems to know, for there appears to be no, record as to when the. mine itself was in operation. The wood was analyzed, and was found'to contain "considerable quantities of iron and copper, to the antiseptic properties of which ite:pteiervatiott must be attributed The wood' not only ,ahsorbed the metallic solutions but so operated on them when absorbed as to prevent their re-solution by water, the iron having been found in the form of subsulphate of the, sesquioxide." As a 'further proof - of the preservative properties` of .xne,tellic solutions, it is said that the thither used in, the Halletn mines, in Austria, and' which is now in a very _ perfect condition, " is the same which was oritinally introduced anterior to the Chris tian era.i' 'That it is feasible „in this way to render wood virtually as impe risba.ble as iron, is therefore clear. Whether it would be expedient, however, or economical, is a question fot the in ventors to .censider, and certainly no''sub ject is More worthy their consideration. DOQTOBB DISA.GBMP..—One of the leading ;Opposition' organs of the West, the Chibago Times, is of the opinion, or, at least, ;professes to be of the opinion, that "there are really,no substantial differences in the' Derhocratic party. If there seem to be differences: they are apparent, not real. There are certainly none which may not be easily reconciled at the ensuing Chicago Convention." .Orte of the leading Opposition martyrs, CLEMENT L. VAIALAIi- Dl wbutr, who thinks with the Times on all other questions, entertains his own pecu. liar views upon,this. In his speech at Day ton, on the 13th inst., he said: "I think we will put forward a Peace. candidate. Why not ? suppose we were to nomjnate a War Democrat, pledged to prosecute the war, in what respect would such a ticket be better than the Lincoln ticket ? You would have all the evils of the war still to press you down, incisased taxes, drafts, and the slaughter of your ,sons. What would you gain by bis election over that of Lrercova ?" The two opinions do not tally very well, coming, as they do, from two of the shining lights of the Op. position party of thi3 West ; and, although it is not probable that either is enunciated by " authority," the fact that what. Mr. Vex.x.AmmextAm .says has been -said in another form by " Colorado" J.EWETT i in a late letter to, the President (which the President never opened), points to the conclusion that - "peace, upon any terms," is to be the _platform of the Chicago Con vention, and the rallying cry of its ad herents in the approaching Presidential campaign. Tau Governor of New Hampshire, in 'his message to the .Legisiature, now in extra session, complains of the inexplicable character of the State militia. law, Be says despairingly : " While lam thus prac tically destitute of funds to carry on the business of the State, a call is made by the General Government for 6,502 men, from the State of New Hampshire, and, on-turn ing to the military bill enacted at your re cent session, to inform myself what men.- , sures I am permitted to take to meet this requisition, I find myself utterly unable to understand its provisions; even if I had the means to carr3P- thent.'..into effective ope ration, nor can rftrid. anyone; rash enough to attempt its eiposition." The troubles of Governor GimmonE present a fair parallel to the dilemmas which have beset our own State Executive. The language of the former Governor might be repeated by Governor Conpur with perfect prdpriety and adherence to truth., , It is to be hoped that in both cases the proper remedy for the evil will be applied by the Legislatures. A lattEND favors us with a e,opy , of same resolutions recently passed by the Deal°. credo Club of the Second precinct, T wenty third ward. They are addressed "To loyal Democrats (as if there were any; other Democrats.!) and loyal men of all parties." Aniong other equally patriotic and high-strung." Resolves" arrived at by the Club, we notice this jewel; " Es solved, That we hail with unmingled• plea sure the return of the god-like ITALIAN DMITAM to his native State, and we hereby give him a tribute of heartfelt thanks for the bold defiance which he flings in the teeth of the wicked usurper who so 'basely wronged him." Doubtless the gentlemen who relieved their pent-up feelings in this elegant style, and; who, further on assure us that, as Democrats, they" hate loyalists" as they " hate the devil," will learn with " unmingled pleasure" that the god-like ..V.smarinronam will deliver an address in. Lancaster on the 17th proximo'; but, to his infinite disgust, will most probably not sue-, ceed in getting himself arrested into doto riety and maudlin sympathy a,sepond tithe. Ranee of Peace. • [Prom the Washington Chronicle.) There is a wide diversity of opinion and feeling In' regard to the basis of peace. The rebels demind. their independence, and what else we know not. - On paper they embrace within the fold of their Confederacy the'States of Missouri, West Virginia, and Kentucky, and repeatedly, since the woman- . menced,-they have declared through their leading newspapers their determination never toleydown their aims until they shall have driven "the Yan keerVi beyond Magill and Dixon's line. Whether' they still demand the boundary of. Southern Penn sylvania, the ,Ohio, and - Iowa; wiiether they would, consent to the'surrender of the border States, but "fight en, fight ever," for Tennessee and Arkansas;; whether they would yield these, with the portiOns of Louisiana, 'Eastern and other places under Union' central, and content themselves with 1 . their Preient - aetnal .R . L0M124.8.T. 'are unable to answer; . . The Copperheads demand peace at any price. They affect to prefer a reStOratiOn of the Union, bat the more frank'and outspoken'among them are will ing to secure peace by the acknowledgment of the. independence of the rebel Confederacy. Then, we have a right to demand Or them a statement -of the boundaries they are willing to concede to the rebels. Would they yield up Missouri, Kentucky, and West Virginia, each of which States contains a majority of people loyal to the Union, with local go. vernmente acting in concert with the, Gene ral Government In the effort to repel rebel invasion and to suppress the rebellion Would the Woods, the Vallandlghams, and the Voorhees turn=over the loyal people of these border States to the tender mercies of thetraitors whom they have been strug gling for three years not merely to repel, bat to subdue/ We doubt not that, in their, hearts, they would rejoice at such. a sacrifice on the altar of red-banded treason; but will they dare say so in presence of the nation I Have they even the•auda• city to recommend the abandonment of the loyal men of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana The people of the two last-named States, it will be re membered, have committed the unpardonable sin of reorganizing loyal State Governments—have asdeMbleil Conventions which have Voted the abolition of slavery, and have, in fact, Set all the negroes free within the Union lines. , -Tennessee his alio been reorganized under United States military authirity. Tens of thousands of her _people have taken the oath of allegiance, I and as a Dist, undek the operation of martial /aw and the preSence of large armies, slavery-has almost ceased to exist.' Will the Copperheads 'demand peace on condition' of abandoning the loyal white population of thole States to pillage, confiscation, or murder by the rebels? Are they so heartless as to ,abandon the negroes to the horrors of re-enslave went? If it is answered that the Government, while acknowledging the Independence of the Con federacy, could stipulate for a general amnesty to whites and blacks, we reply that there-would be no power left to enforce the amnesty without going to war again ; and that what we know of the ferocious and, sanguinary spirit which rules the slavehold ing rebels would render it the height of folly to trust to their pledges of lenieney and modera tion. . Besides, we have no right_to force_back under rebel control a loyal people, who have been redeemed or saved from it; and who utterly ab her It. It would be a cowardly abandonment of the most sacred obligations of government, which is pledged in the name of all that is holy to defend every loyal citizen to the utmost. Neither can the Government, without dishonor and inku inanity, abandon one negrn whom It has set free to the tender mercies of his offended maater, or to Efh• enslavement in any form. :A:fter inviting the ne.;- groee to give mortal offence to their masters by aid ing in the euppressfon of the rebellion, in honor*. ble Government cannot repudiate the 'obliga tions of protecting and 1119erattng every one who has acted- upon the invitation: It may .-be questionable whether the Governinent stands pledged to give liberty to those slaves who have never been within the Union, lines, since the issue of the emancipation 'prealamation, because, 1 whether from disinelination"tr' othei; : ise, the offer of freedom was not *opted in fact, nor hat the Goverment been alsoh' by that Olen Of 'slaves in its efforts to suppress the rebellion I but in those eases where the invitation to join us has been aoceptid—where the contract has been ratified—it is impossible to abandon it on the part of the Government without Incurring the guilt of a repudiation more wicked and, Infamous than that of which the Stite of Mississippi, under the advice of Jeff Davis, was guilty, in refusing to redeem the State bonds. The foregoing views of the'relative right and duties 'of the people, White and black ) , in the Border States, and of the do . vernment of the United States, would seem to be evident to every man, North or South,-who Las a sentiment of honor left. There might, per haps, be a pliusible argument urged in. ;aver of withdrawing protection from the_loyal men still within the rebel military lines, if all hope of sub duing the rebellion had paasettaway ; but there can be none for abandoning those within the Union Ems from sheer cowardlee, or disinclination to continue the contest In their behalf. "Those who ' talk of , peace at any price _mot look these facts In the face. They must mate up their minds to advocate and urge a disgraceful and dishonorable abandonment of the ground we now hold and the millions of loyal men in the slave 'States who', look to the National Government for protection, or they must vote for the continuance of the war until the rebel armies are oderthrown. But suppose the rebels, taught by bUter experience the folly of their haughty demands, Should recede from their existing claim of boundaries. Suppose they should con- tent themselves with the conoestion of what they may have in possesSion at the' time of treating for peace; What, then, would be the result 3 The Southern.: Confederacy would ' be composed 0f,., 'two distinct and. aeparate ,territories, -one east and the other west of the Miesimippl, - with that great river—an Invaluable' and possession of the United Statea—diviiing m the from. north.:to south ; with the. free Ste.tes of Arkangas'and Lmistans separating the slave.

Seeming to place confidence in this new acquaintance, he took him into a private apartment, where, after indulging in a little more abuse, he unfolded to him a plan of ra ther startling character—viz: the assassination of Maj. Gen. Burbridge, who has of late rendered him. self so odious to the Secessionlate of Kentucky. General Banbridge appeared to have a large share In the fellow's Stook of hate, judging from epithets which he received In the course of the man's whispered converse with his confidant: After ex plaining his plan—which was to kill the General with en air-gun—Mason offered his companion five hundred dollars in gold if he would under take the job of assassination. The party to whom this infamous proposition was thus' made desired tins. to refloat thereon and agreed to meet Mason at the corner of Sixth and Vine Streets the following (Sunday) morning, at nine o'clock. They then parted, Mason leaving the place, while the other. wetit to the Ninth -street sta. tion, and divulged the affair to Lieut. McGrew and Sergt.

Upon examination of the prisoner's person papers and notes were found showing him to be an En glishman •by birth ; that he had been two years in thw rebel army; that - he was imprisoned in the Old Capitol prison, and that elnee his release he hes travelled all over the West and South and the Canadas. passing frequently through our lines.

Daring all this time they were ex posed to a heavy fire from the rebel artillery, which did a great deal of damage. It Was found Imposei ble. to cross the ravine, and the men were halted and lay concealed as well as possible until dark, when they were withdrawn. Col.

Twenty.live Democratic members Who voted for the militia bill enteral]. a protest on the journal, that they object to the bill because lt, gives the Go vernor a right to appoint regimentalotlicers instead of having them elected, and also because It allows drafts in portions of the • State, which Is unjust, arid' also because it does not prohibit troops from being forced into the national service, and also because It authorizes the seizure of property in border coun ties, which are already impoverished.

He was taken to Shrewsbury, where Dobtors Hassey and Gerry amputated one of his legs and attended to his other Injuries. In the evening he was brought to the York army hospital, where he now lies. His name was William Dunn, of the 20th .Pennsylvania Regiment. The perpetrator of this outrage, whose name we have not been able to learn, is said to bare been under the influence of liquor at the time. If the story as related to us is correct, no punishment can be too severe for the wretch who could be guilty of such a diabolical set. What makes the occurrence still more sad, is the fait that the term of Service Of the Injured man will expire in a few days —York Gaze' Ile.

LANTA.—Gerezal Hazen, a brigade commander in Sherman's army, gives the following estimate of the number of rebels now garrisoning Atlanta : Johnston's veteran army, by his official report June 26th contained 46,628 arms-bearing mea, eluding 6,681 of Wheeler's Cavalry. They hive lost since that time 5,000 prisoners, and in their three assaults upon our works since arriving In front of this place at least 20,000 men. They have receid f Mississippi 3,500, and are receiving from Governor Brown's proclaniation about 8,000 militia. This gives them to-day. an army of about 25.000 veterans and 8,000 militia. t . 33.000 in all. 1 hese figuies are subatantially'sorreci. The hope of being reinforced by Kirby Smith, is at last given up. After exhausting the militia of ala batua and Eastern hiisaleaippi, which may amount to ten thousand more, if they have the power to force them Out, I' cannot for my life see how the enemy can make up the wastage of their -army. know the rebel army, whin ft was joined by Polk just before the fight at Hence, was seventy one thousand strong. This included Polk, and bealdo this additions before mentioned it has re ceived a brigade (Harting's) of at least three.thea• sand from Mobile. This gives the enormous loss to them since the campaign of iiity-two thousand. men. What . possible chance is there for these thirty-three thousand now bolero us i These figures may seem exaggerations, but they are not--they are realities ; cud when it is remembered that we have taken.twelve thousand prisoners, have had no less than twelve engagements, where from one to three corps have been in battle, with the ordinary desertions and k i sses from disease, the fifty-two thousand Is readily made up. What will hinder the daily attrition of the next three mot:the from coin. plying the overthrow of those before usl This statement seems surprising, and -tir e -reader naturally inquires how such a force can hold At lanta for even one day against Skernian'S large, weltdisciplined army.

Both armi es convey a full supply of ell. trenching tools, an no forces on littler side ever. reel till they have before them a complete line -of works strong enough to resist the heaviest field ordnance, with obstructions in the front in the way of abattis, palisades, and entrenchment; that put the matter of an sat °nit quite out of the cp.ms. tiOD.
