HoRRoRs OF WAR. Col. Scsuzicr was of the
most efficient military officers in the French ice
under Napoleon, and from the Military Memoirs, a
correspondent of the New York Evening Post trans-
lates the following from chapter w. Battle of Aus
ter.tz:
cat that moment in which the Russian army was
making its retreat, painfully, but in good order,
the ice of the Lake, the Emperor Napoleon came ri
ding at full speed towards the artillery "You are To-
sing time !" cried he; Fire upon those masscs!-
they must be cngulphed! fire upon the icc!' The
order given remained unexccuted for ten minutes
in vain several officers and myself placed on
the slope of hill to produce the greater effect their
balls and mine rolled upon the ice without breaking
it up. Seeing that, tried simple method of ele-
waiting eight howitzcrs the almost perpendicular fall
of these heavy proeciles produced the desired effect
My method was followed Immediately by the adjoin-
ing batteries and in less than no time we buried 5
600 Russians and Austrians under the waters of the
Lake"
