To ne Editor of Th, n. y. Tribvne
SIR: We are placed nearly in the condition asthe
Swiss were in 1884, when OF tho little States OF
Switzerland called Cantons, revotod and put an army
into the field of 73 Zoo men of whom however, many
were old men md young boys and were subdued by
an efficient army Of the General Government Of nearly
20 OO0 men. The Jesui's were at the bottom Of the
whole affair. All the other Governments Of Europe,
farof England only excepted favored the cause OF the
rebels Efficient officers, Paxhans and gunpowder
were sent to them by Austria and France. Gen. Du'
four. the Commander.inChief OF the Government
forces. who had fought under Napoleon |, and in-
structed Louis Napoleon in military science, acted on
the following plan: He demanded as many troops as
possibly could be furnished; the Government ordered
but 50 900 troops out and The faithful Cautions furnished
nearly 90 0D rhO duly decBtd; Dufour covered,
then al the important poSts along the frontiers of the
rebel States with strong garisons, and after careful
organization OF the remainder OF his forces, lie com
menced tho attack he attacked always but one State,
and this one with all rwhelming force.
In this manner, he showed the rebels before hand
that they could never succeed and struck terror into
their bearts. BY the immense number OF troops, that
always paid cash for what they wanted he made all
necessaris Of life In the rebel States extremely dear
and deprived the enemies, who scantily supplied
with provsions OF the means of subsistence, and at
Lt conquered them, with very triling oss OF lie.

SUGGESTIONS FOR TIE CAMP.

To ne Editor Of The A.. \. Tribune
SIR: | notice a recommendation IN ThE TRIBUNE
that our soldiers should provide themselves with inda
rubber blankets. An excellent substitute, and preeri-
bic IN respects is strip OF india-ribber cotton
cloth, about feet long and yard WIDE Ia TINS
the blanket, folded lengthwise, TO make three thick
ncsses may be rolled mp tightly the edges OF the cloth
being turned in over the blanket II is then strapped
independently of tho knapsack straps aad makes
tight, snug roll imperviou5 water and aust and
without adding anything OF consequence TO the weight
Small articles which it s desirable 10 keep perfectly
protected from dampness &c, may he relied 10 the
same pack. AT night the blanket ID taken from ibe
top Of the knapsck and unroed and the Indiarubber
cloth is spread upon the ground and each having
one the whole floor Of the tent i, thus covered with
waterproof carpet.
In most of the equipments for soldiers ghtness ia TOO
much disregarjed. The knapsacks are unnece sariy
heavy and the straps generally strong enough for
harness. There is for great improvements IN this
respect.
small article of great comfort to campaigners is
the drnAingcup Of patent leather, which folds up at
and is carried in the vest pocket Probably no more
acceptable small present could be sent to troops in ac-
tive service than this little utensil IL is always at
hand and always useful upon march.
