MODERN WARFARE.-Fifteen months ago, or
two years at the most intelligent men proved
beyond controversy that war was thencefor-
ward impossible among civilized nations. We
are now anxiously looking forward to hear of
a second battle of Copenhagen, another Nava-
rino, the storming of Sebastopol, the capture of
Bucharest or the siege of Adrianople. Another
month may bring the news of half these events
Among other reasons alleged by the intelligent
men aforesaid for their belief was that science
had made such progress that wars could not
last; it was generally believed for instance that
if two such nations as France and England
went to war, Faraday on the one side, and the
Academic les Sciences on the other would Invent
machines that would cut short the business in
very short while, by blowing up a city or an
army in less time than it took century ago to
discharge frelock. We shall now see what
science has done in the destructive line. 1t is
questionable whether the effects anticipated
from the application of scientific inventions to
implements of war have not been overesti-
mated. Allowing for the superiority of the
MIME rife over the old regulation musket for
the new fire ships which are SO irresistible in
their progress, for the decorating balls one of
which is to destroy three-decker, for the sue
cessful introduction ofsteam into men-of-war-a
result that has only recently been attained-our
net progress summed up and added together,
does not seem SO very great as people ina
gined. We shall be better able to Judge a
couple of months hence than we now are; but
from present appearances, the old ounce of
lead, and cold steel seem destined to play the
part of arbiters offortune as they did formerly.

ANOTHER TREATY WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS
Mr.. Borlani, our Minister to Central America,
has, we understand, negotiated fresh treaty
with Nicaragua for the settlement of the Gen.
trail American disputes. The President has had
1t some three weeks in his de. k, but has not vet
plucked up courage to send it to the Senate.
Whether it be any better than its predecessors
and whether Borland has done what Hse,
and Squir, and Clayton could not succeed in
efiecting-remains to be seen. On the face of
it, however, curious feature is apparent: the
more curious, indeed, from It's being at least
the third example of the practice under the
present administration. The treaty was nego-
tiatod by Mr.. Borland without instructions from
the State Department like the Gadsdcn treaty,
the convention which Mr.. Buchanan is believed
TO have executed or to be executing in England,
and possibly several other embryo treaties OF
which the public has yet heard nothing. All
of these Developments show pretty clearly that
the foreign ministers appointed by Mr. Pierce
were sent abroad with their outfit, aud left to
their own guidance; Secretary Marcy was in
fact too busy with the division Of the spoils to
