Our Harbor Defences-A New Feature I'm
Our Volunteer Military System.

la our notice Of the parade Of the New York City
Guard, published in Tuesdays HERALD, we omitted to
mention the fac, that this company under the accom-
plished commandant Mansfield Lowell, is the author Of
a new feature In volunteer military system viz
the drilling with the casemated or heavy artillery for
harbor defence. The company has been frequently
drilled throughout the last winter and spring in this pc
culiar and useful branch Of military tactics aud has
acquired commendable proficiency. The Secretary Of
War through Lieutenant General Scott has appreciated
this practical and useful movement and granted perms
sion TO the City Guard TO visit Fort Hamilton, at such
times shall suit their convenience In order TO have
further opportunities to improve upon the instruction
they have already received by firing shot from the guns
there at target placed within suitable range in the
bay In the course Of few weeks the Guard will pro-
coed 10 Fort Hamilton and spend two days close
drilling and intend 10 give detailed statement Of the
esut TO the readers Of the HERALD.
This movement is one in the right direction, for Il
fact well worthy OF consideration, that however
God our harbor defences may be, we are
deficient In one essential element for their
speration, vizprofcent artlerists 10 man them. In
eny sudden exigency with European Power they
wsuld no doubt make the metropolis the FIRST object Of
attack and could with powerful armada into our
harbor and blow our city into atoms before could
sembe sufficient number Of arterists 70 forts
We hope TO the movement suspcously introduced
by the City Guard adopted by other companies even
by whole regiments and see them quatered for
able time-say two or three wd In each year-at Fort
Hamilton Schuyler and exercised at the casemented
as TO be ready to man the forts In time OF The
system alluded 70 has been adopted and prsctised
by the English volunteers and with degree OF success
that places It's utility beyond peradventure.
