THE PRUSSIAN NEEDLE-GUN. —The otecte, re-
ferring to the superior arms of the Prussians, says :
—" We believe, notwithstanding the silence of the Ger-
man journals, that the Prussian needle-guns, which were
already so celebrated, succeed beyond all expectation. The
Prussians fire six times a minute ; thus, if an advance
of four minutes is necessary for making a charge,
the Austrian soldier is exposed to twenty-four shots
before having a chance of meeting his adversary
hand to hand, and should he only pause in his attack
for a moment, he is laid .low by a bullet immediately.
Such is the truth ; the Prince of Prussia was, therefore,
right when he said in his proclamation to his soldiers,
`Have confidence in the justness of your cause—and in
your arms of precision.' At present those two ideas, which
were formerly so dissimilar, now present no incongruity.
The fearful massacre by those firearms is, besides, most
methodical, At the left of the Prussian army the defile of
Nachod was filled up with the Austrian killed. Whole
battalions of Tyrolean chasseurs were cut down in com-
plete files. The 37th Regiment of Westphalian riflemen
(the best marksmen in the Prussian army) effected a hor-
rible carnage while scarcely suffering themselves." A
telegram from Vienna of the 3d says :—" The needle-guns
of the Prussians have caused immense carnage in therauks
of our army."
