per se. One grim colonel rebukes his captain, and
threatens him with arrest for " drinking and fid-
dling in hie tent," and intimates it was disrespectful
to his commanding officer, possibly on the grounds
put by the Indian colonel for a similar offence.
" You are to consider yourself under arrest, sir, for
making a row in your quarters and not asking me
to it." Another has a judicial decision on the ques-
tion whether lager beer is or is not an intoxicating
drink, and it is decided in the negative, to the joy
of Deutschland, who soon prove the contrary, and
the lager is put in the index expurgatorius also. In
the complete extinction of news the existence' of
the press is threatened, and the papers are contend-
ing that they are alive, and their opponents, if not
dead, are dying. It is a somewhat quaint study to
observe the prostration of the journals before the
military power—how they fawn, and cringe, and
flatter. But all will not do. The puissant finger is
on their nostril, and they are well nigh smothered
for want of fresh air. It is now the fashion to
contemn politicians, and to affect to contemn the
civil power when in any way opposed to the mili-
tary. The efforts of the Pennsylvania politicians to
get at the votes of their regiments are treated as if
they were the best jokes in the world. The attempts
of the judges to uphold civil authority and the
rights of the subject are regarded with indifference
or without sympathy, and yet a remarkable instance
of judicial boldness and independence has occurred
here worthy of all praise. The military authorities
here have, by a coup de plume, declared they will
liberate no more recruits, foreign or native, who en-
list into their ranks. Lately an application was made
to Judge Merrick here for a writ of habeas corpus for
one Jeremiah Lyon, a minor, enlisted in the 23d
Pennsylvanian Regiment, to which Brigadier-Gene-
ral Graham made an unsatisfactory return, and
after argument the judge ruled that the General
should appear and show cause why an attachment
for contempt of Court should not issue against him.
the General pleaded the order of the War Depart-
ment and the exemption of the military from the
action of the Courts in such matter, but at last
the minor was produced in court in pursuance of
the writ and was discharged by order of the j edge.
I append some matter from my diary since the
date of my last letter.
October B.—A review, or inspection, of cavalry
and artillery going on, I cannot go—it is mail
day—but I see the troops pass my windows ; some
few squadrons of cavalry and several batteries of
artillery. Besides, I have two honorary aides, who
go out and tell me all about the affair—one is an
ex-officer of Austrian Dragoons and an ex-Crimean
cavalry man, the other is an infantry officer en
redraite, both Englishmen. They report the artil-
lery fair—horses light, batteries rather a mixture,
longs and shorts, rifled and smooth bores ; carriages
heavy, harness not well kept or clean, but strong
and serviceable too, but not " well set up," head-
dress condemned. Report on cavalry not so favour-
able. Men don't ride, no seats, no setting up—
nothing clean; horses rather mixed, saddlery and
equipments, including swords, scabbards, spurs, bits
and metal work generally very dirty. As to bone and
sinew, the men are good as can be; the impression is,
however, that they could not be relied on to stand or
to make a charge in their present condition, and that
they would do more harm than good if any attempt
were made to handle them in the field. The Fede-
ralists seem to have increased their artillery force
very much since their last advance, when they had
only 49 pieces in the field. They have now more
than three times as many guns, well horsed, and an
enormous increment is still spoken of. With their
foundries, iron works, and resources in skilled la-
bour, there is no reason why they should not be able
to fight their battles with artillery principally, and
make a Solferino or Goojerat of the affair. The
Naval Department is ordering guns by the hundred
tons. It is a pity we cannot sell them the American
monster guns which we bought during the Crimean
war by the pound, and which are lying in the mud
at Woolwich:
The Americans, having made some very feeble
experiments long ago on targets of sheet iron bolted
together and screwed on wooden backs, arrived at
the conclusion that they had exhausted the question
of iron-cased ships and looked with indifference at
the experiments of France and England to test the
resisting powers of rolled iron slabs ; that is, the
Government departments dial ; but many naval
officers were solicitous that further trials should be
made, and that one gunboat or large vessel at least
should be built on the improved principles of either
the English or the French constructions, or on
plans of their own. It seems to be the opinion, how-
ever, among American naval officers that the in-
crease in the size of ordnance must always prove
superior to any resisting powers of iron, and by a
smashing blow of a large projectile at a low velocity
they think they can break and crush in not so
much the plates as the whole side of the struc-
tureexhaustive work on the making

be, Will
leave field batteries still available for the flanks and
for co-operation with detached columns. It is asserted
most positively that, though there is no outcry inthe
public press against the delay which is taking place,
individuals of weight and position are again urging
on the President and his Government the necessity
of an advance for political reasons, and that pres-
sure has been placed upon the authorities to try the
fate of another battle. The mercantile interests are
in great anxiety, and wish for some certain solution
of their embarrassments as to the future. The great
demand for war supplies has given an artificial
activity to trade in certain cities and districts, which
is supplied out of the public purse generally. Short
harvests in Europe may pour a flood of gold in
t
he Western States, but it is out of the question
that foreign commerce can resume its usual course
while the States are distracted by civil war. ,The
tell their roatarns under this tariff are beginning to
pectea, for imports but nothing else could be ex-
cannot surely be supposed to

tary commission to Europe by Mr. Jefferson
Davis at the close of the Crimean War. Per-
haps the American people do not know that their
commission was treated with neglect, if not with
something worse, by the French authorities, and
were not even permitted to see I'arshal Pellissier ;
while the English gave them quarters in the camp
of the Fourth Division, near Cathcart's-hill, rations,
and passes and horses, and detached a staff officer
to wait upon them, and gave them passages in their
steamers wherever and whenever they required
them. General, then Captain, M'Clellan's report on
the Crimea is contained in 24 quarto pages, well
written, clear, and not destitute of a modest self-
confidence. He declares that his object in pointing
out errors is to prevent similar mistakes on the part
of American officers, and then, observing " that it
may seem absurd to compare small affairs with great,''
plunges into affairs by remarking that the American
army completed the investment of Vera Cruz on
the second day, while the Allies required nearly
seven days to land and march about 15 miles to the
Alma. It is scarcely possible for an American to
avoid comparisons on such matters, though they are
introduced by deprecatory remarks. Vero, Cruz is
on the sea; the Mexicans had no fleet. Balaklava is
nearly nine miles from Sebastopol, Kamiesh is be-
tween four and five. In effect, our landing at Old
Fort, which commenced on the 14th, was inter-
rupted by high surf and wind on the 15th; an army
of 65,000 English, French, and Turks, with 92 pieces
of artillery and about 1,100 cavalry, were ready to
march on the 18th, fought at Alma on the 20th,
gave two days to the interment of the dead and em-
barkation of the wounded, and after a hazardous
march, gaining new bases of operation, opened fire
from their batteries on the 17th October, having in-
vested the place on the 27th September. It is indeed
absurd to compare small things with great. But
Gen. M'Clellan—who never saw the Alma, be it
observed—goes on to say the position was not really
strong, nor was it at all improved artificially, and
astounds one by declaring the Allies were nearly
double the number of the Russians, "according to
both accounts." Menschikoff admitted 36,000 men.
Anitschkof says the Russians had 42 battalions, 16
squadrons, 11 sotnias of Cossacks, or about 1,000
irregular horses,72 field-pieces,and 24 horse artillery
guns, which looks very like some 42,000 infantry and
2,600 sabres. We know that our force consisted of
27,000 men, that the French had 24,000, and the
Turks, 7,000; but of these the Turks never fired a
shot, and were not engaged at all. The Fourth
(British) Division was not present in the action, and
the Third Division were but very slightly engaged,
part not coming up till the battle was over. The
General considers the battle important only in estab-
lishing the morale of the Allies. Why, it caused
the siege to be possible at all by leading to the de-
feat of the covering army ! Had the Allies been
beaten, it would, surely, have proved of some con-
sequence. Had Menschikoff never fought it, our
operations against the place must have been still
more uncertain ; butnur victory decided him to aban-
don Sebastopol and retire to Bakshi Sarai. The sub-
sequent criticism, referring to the possibility of cut-.
tin g off the Russians from Sebastopol would not have
been made if the General could have seen the ground
or had been present on Sept. 20,1854. " Drive them
into the city and enter at their heels!" No forts,
no citadel, no fleet there to interfere with that pro-
gramme ! " Cut them off from Simpheropol.',
With the Woronzow-road in their rear to lead to it,
and in doing it to throw them back on their strong-
hold, Sebastopol, as well ! So far from the battle
being determined by Bosquet's turning the left
(under the fire of the Allied ships), the official ac-
count says that Menschikoff, pressed in front by
the English, and on the left by,the French, " donna
alors l'ordre au Prince Gortschakoff do retirer le
centre et l'aile droit nos troupes, plus de deux verstes
en arriere de la position qui avait ete choisie, ou
les suivcrent aussitot les troupes de l'aile gauche,
qui avaient resiste au choc de toute la Quatrieme
Division Frangaise jusqu' au moment de la retraits
generale." When General M'Clellan states the
garrison consisted merely of four battalions
and " the sailors of the fleet," he did not know per-
haps that the latter consisted of about 14,000 excel-
lent soldiers and artillerists, the flower of the Rus-
sian army, as the siege proved. Of the incidents of
the flank march the criticism is unjust ; the Scots
Greys were close up with the guns, which were not
in front ; only one horse troop was there, and, in-
stead of our coming on a strong Russian column,
we merely hit on the very rear of the baggage
guard of one regiment. A plan for attacking the
English at Mackenzie could not have been followed,
as the only road for the attack would have led the
enemy in a thin column between the French and
the English who were massed above and below it.
In many other points the general was misinformed,
but many of his objections, conceived though they
may be in a spirit slightly moqueur, as far as the
Allies, or rather the English are concerned, show
considerable quickness and military knowledge.

lot indicated the importance of

this direction, then, most of themen employed about
the mills hastened, and on their arrival at No. 2
press-house, a truly horrifying spectacle presented
itself. The entire pressing-house, with a shanty at
one side, where the men used to keep their victuals,
was blown to fragments, which lay scattered over
the ground for a considerable distance. For at least
60 or 70 feet around the building the ground was
strewn with pieces of timber, sheets of iron, and
portions of the machinery, while in cne or two in-
stances large deals were imbedded several feet in
thebanlas4.the canal close by. On the western
tide of the building was a young plantation, and the
greater number of the trees in this were completely
destroyed. Three of the bodies of the unfortunate
men employed in the building were found in the
immediate vicinity of the house, but so fearfully
mutilated that recognition was all but impossible.
Portions of the limbs and other ports of the bodies
had been torn away. One had the top of his skull
blown away. Small portions of the limbs and flesh
were blown across the river, and were found there
afterwards by parties who went across to search.
The body of another was completely torn open in
the middle, the entrails hanging out, and the heads
of two of the men were blown off. In a very short
time after the accident occurredl)r. Rountree, medi-
cal officer to the works, hearing the explosion, hast-
ened to the spot, in the hope of being able to render
some assistance, but medical science was of course
of no avail to the mutilated corpses that lay before
him. With one exception, all the men killed had
families, and when their wives and children arrived
at the place, the scene was a most heartrending one.
The bodies found were placed on carts, and around I
these the relatives of the deceased gathered, utter-
ing
loud and piercing cries, and other passione`,e
demonstrations of grief. Sir Thomas.lirr',Vie were on
powTeorb;_t-no,
Rudd, Dr. Rountree, and Mr. Some:

alle-
viate the sufferings of the wives and children of the
unfortunate men.
When the explosion took place it was heard dis-
tinctly in Cork, and appeared so near that some
people imagined it was the discharge of heavy
ordnance in the immediate vicinity of the city.
However, owing to the small quantity of powder in
the building at the time, the explosion was not so
great as the one that occurred about two years ago,
when not only was the house in which it occurred
in
nt wereh blownvillage o
ti and
aiiln a

the
glassside of

collig.
The following are the names of the men killed :
Owen Begley, foreman of the house, aged about 50.
He had been engaged in the manufacture of powder
for the last twenty-three or twenty four years. He
leaves a wife and one grown-up daughter; Thomas
Long, aged about 40, had been for come years em-
ployed in the mills. His family consists of a wife
and four young children ; Timothy Merrick, aged
about 30. He had been for years engaged in the
works. A wife and two children compose his
family. A nephew of this man's was killed by the
explosion in '59 ; George Davidson, aged about 24.
Had been at work in the mills since his boyhood.
He hes left a wife but no children Thomas Haily,
aged about 36 years. Had been engaged in the
works for about twenty years. His family consists
of a wife and four young children.
On Wednesday evening Mr. Coroner Honahan
held an inquest on the bodies of three men found—
Long, Merrick, and Davidson.
Mr. David Somerville deposed that he was con-
nected with the powder mills for the last twenty-
two years, and was at present superintendent over
the works. Knew the deceased for years—some of
them for nearly twenty-two years. They were five of
the steadiest men in the establishment. Saw them
last alive at six o'clock that morning, when they
paraded before him, and were examined. That was
prior to their proceeding to their work. Did not
observe anything unusual about them. They were
all fit for their business. They were told to go to
No. 2 press-house. They had been for the three
past days of the week, and for some time before,
employed at the same place and at similar work.
They understood their work well. There was a
foreman in the house. He is missing, and witness
presumes he was in the house when the accident
occurred. His duty was to superintend the other
men. Witness visited the house about eight o'clock
that morning, when the five men were in the house
and at work. At that time they were pressing
powder. The house was in perfect order, and wit-
ness found everything to his satisfaction. Witness
was speaking to the foreman then for some time.
Asked him whether all was right, and ho said yes,
and that his machinery wes all oiled ; witness
examined it, and found it was so ; the house had
not its full work to do that day, as other parts of
the works had been stopped by back water ; the
deceased went in to do some work, in order that
there might be no arrears ; at about ten minutes
before twelve o'clock that day was in the works
yard, when witness heard a report like that of an
explosion ; it was so slight that he thought it was
one of the composition mills, and ran towards
them ; saw others running towards them too ; then
found that the explosion occurred in the western
part of the concern, and made his way towards it as
fast as possible ; ound this press-house in ruins ;
saw the three bodies the subject of this inquiry
there p they were lying at different distances from
the scene of the explosion ; they were dead. The
bodies were in a mutilated state. Has no doubt that
the state they were in was caused by the explosion.
The foreman of the house, and whose body has not
yet been found, was for over twenty years working
at powder. No trace of the other two men that
'were in the house at the time of the explosion haP,
as yet been found. The river and the canal. Lad
been dragged close by, but without finding them.
Witness intended to net the river next morning to
search for the bodies.
Denis Connor, a boatman connected with the
works, was next examined. He said he had been
employed in taking powder that day from the house
where the deceased had been employed. About 20
minutes before the explosion he had cleared the
house of all the powder that was in it, and had left
there 16cwt. of millcake and dust. Went and de-
livered what he took away at a distance of about
300 yards, and as he returned he heard the explo-
sion. When he left the five men were in the house
and were all engaged in the mill. No other person
was near the place except Denis Mahony, who was
engaged with witness at his work in driving a hors..
Dr. Roundtree, of Ballincollig, deposed that be
was at the public dispensary that morning, when
he heard the explosion, and being professionally
connected with the works, and seeing the smoke, he
hastened to the place and saw the bodies of the three
men. Long was very much burnt and mutilated ;
the other two had their heads blown off Their
deaths must have been instantaneous, and the result
of the explosion of gunpowder.
Mr. lal'lnnery (foreman) said, though not con-
nected with the powder mills, he knew them well,
and he could say that whenever an accident occur-
red no expense was spared by the company to pre-
vent a similar occurrence.

A painful accident happened at Liege just as
King Leopold's carriage was leaving the railway station.
An immense crowd had collected in the street, and in the
foremost rank was an old invalid with a wooden leg, who
wanted to present a petition to his Majesty. Just as the
Royal carriage approached the old man stepped forward,
but was thrown down by the pressure of the crowd, and
fell under the wheels, which passed over him, the cheering
of the crowd having prevented the postillions from hearing
the order to stop. The King and Princes, who saw the
accident, uttered an exclamation of horror, but were greatly
relieved when told that the poor old man had received no
serious injury. llis Majesty directed that every necessary
attention should be paid to him, and also sent him a present
in money.
