To sum up the new plan of organisation is not an
accidental law variable according to circumstances and the
mobility of public opinion. It is alt institution which
organises in a permanent manner the national forces.
It diminishes by a year the term of service. It
facilitates marriage. It preserves to the anny its present
organirtion ; it gives to Francel,2oo,ooo trained soldiers,
and only slightly increase' the charges of the budget. It
disciplines the entire nation by organising it, much more
in view of defence than aggression, and renders it capable
of defying all invasion. It elevates the military spirit
without injuring the liberal tocations. It consecrates,
finally, that grand principle of equality that all owe
the country their service in time of war, and no longer
abandons to a part of the people the sacred duty of de.
fending the land.

TERRIBLE COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR

BARNSLEY.

spEOSED LOSE OE THREE HUNDRED LIVE&
—HARNSLEY, itiremsnat.
About one o'clock to-day the inhabitants of
Hoyle Mill, a hamlet about a mile and a half dis-
tant from Barnsley, were startled by a loud explo-
sion, which shook the ground around. Accustomed
to the causes of sudden reports as the population are
—being of an entirely colliery character—all eyes
were at once directed to the Oaks colliery, where a
dense body of smoke was seen issuing from one of the
shafts. A rush was at once made to the place, and
in the course of a few minutes the pit bank was
covered with a large crowd, the greater part of
which was composed of women and children in a
state of distraction, crying and vociferating wildly.
Under the direction of Mr. T. Dymond, the
managing partner, preparations were made to
descend the second shaft, the one which felt
the force of the explosion having had the wire
rope destroyed, and continuing to emit a
great deal of smoke. A large body of the
county police were speedily on the ground, and
it was with some difficulty that a clear road
could be kept, as the number of persons about the
works could not be less than from 2,000 to 3,000.
The pirty which first descended brought out se-
veral persons, all of whom were very badly burnt ;
but as the colliery is one of the largest in the dis-
trict, employing about 400 men and boys, and the
works extending to a distance of nearly two miles
from the shaft bottom, only those in the vicinity
of the bottom could be reached, while those at a
distance cannot be got at until the works are
opened out, as the air courses will doubtless
be blocked up. Up to shout five o'clock
upwards of thirty bodies, men and lads, wore got
out, several being dead, whilst most of the others
were so severely burnt as to leave but slight hopes
of their recovery. Several of the boys, averaging
from 12 to 14 years? on being brought up, could
scarcely be recognised. On being taken to the
i cabin, scores of anxious eyes examined them. In
some cases the features could not be recognised, so
ithat their clogs and the buttons on their clothes
were minutely examined so as to give a clue to the
wearer. Some of the men appeared to be in the
g,reatest agony, but moatof them appeared to have lost
' all power of expression. On the catastrophe being
' made known the stewards and viewers of the
neighbouring collieries were promptly on the
ground rendering assistance and prepared to exa-
mine the Workings, but it is expected that a great
deal of work will have to be done before any great
distance can be explored. In the meantime every
exertion is being made to recoverthe men and lads,
but it is feared that the loss of life will be very
great indeed, owing to the vast extent of the
workings, and it is more than likely that
some considerable time will elapse before
the extreme parts can be reached ; much
however, will depend on the amount of damage
done, and whether the stoppings have been entirely
destroyed. Without any desire to create alarm,
we may say it was the opinion of many of those ac-
quainted with mining operations that the catas-
trophe will be of a terrible character, and cause a
great deal of distress, probably exceeding anything
of the kind which has yet been known in the dis-
trict, where colliery explosions have been by no
means of rare occurrence. First will be recollected
that in 1857, at Lundhill, by which 189 lives were
lost, and those recently in December, 1862, at
Eduenel's Main, when 59 persons were killed.
The ( Mks Colliery, which is the property of Mr.
It. Micklethwaite, of Ardsley, and leased to Messrs.
Firth, Barber, and Co., has before been the scene
of similar catastrophes, one of which, in March,
1847, resulted in the death of 73 persons. It is
about 270 yards deep, and has been worked for a
great number of years, all improvements with re-
gard to ventilation, Ac., having been introduced,
us the managing partner, Mr. Dymond, is a practi-
cal mining engineer. On leaving the ground the
scene was one of the must distracting character,
which was in nodegree lessened by the gloom around.

old soldiers will, under the circumstances just enumerated,
be recalled and incorporated in the regimen ta intended for the
campaign. That will be done without difficulty, without
calling out the reserve of the second ban—a grave measure
which ought not to be adopted except in the event of &great
war. In order to render less irksome the military
instruction of the young men called upon to be exercised
in the depots, all those who have learnt how to handle and
fire a musket at home, and who, in a word, know the
school of the soldier, will, on examination, be released from
the runnel exercises. They will only be called together
to take up anus. 3. The National Guard Mo-
bile, formed of the soldiers of the active army, of
those of the reserve who have terminated their
COlig, and of the exonerated, will rarely be liable
to be called out. It will only be called out by virtue of
a special law, and, in tho absence of the Corps Legislatif,
by an imperial decree, which will be converted into law the
following session. The National Guard Mobile will cost
tho state little, because it will be composed in great
part of men thoroughly exercised, clothed, and
equipped. Some few well chosen cadres will
suffice to form a compact and disciplined corps.
The service in ordinary times will be scarcely anything,
for it will in great part comprehend only old soldiers who
will no longer need to be bound to a painful apprentice-
ship, and will be freed in time of peace from all irksome
obligation. The men of the National Guard Mobile
will henceforth in time of peace be able to consider
themselves as liberated from the burden of the conscrip-
tion. Marriage is authorised at any period of the service.
Such is the general plan of the measure. Supposing that
out of, the 326,000 Frenchmen who every year attain the
ago of twenty 160,000 of the most valid are taken, 80,000
men will be left for the active army, and as many for the
reserve. Deduction made of the legal exemptions, of ordi-
nary losses, of diminutions of all kinds, each class at the
end of six years will give the following results :
