Thr Weapons of this War.

The editor OF Wilkes n. ~ Spirit Of The
Times is soldier now in Washington. In a
late letter to his paper, he thus remarks on the
weapons with which the battles are likely to bc
won:
Some importance has been attributed to the
fact that the Southern men. as general thing
are better marksmen than the soldiers of the
North. and that they will consequently possess
a great advantage. through such superiority, in
the hour of battle But while do not believe
that this is the case to any great extent. would
not. even if it were SO. give much consideration
to the fact; for in battle but few special shots
are made and the coming struggle is not des
tined To DE a contest of mere craftsmanship oI
evolution. War began with the spear for its
weapon; after a variety of changes through
several centuries. it yielded its refnemcnts. and
under Napoleon Ill, on the fields of Magenta
and SOlferinO. came back to the spear again
On those bloody and bitterly contested fields
the alert Zouaves and the athletic Chasseur'
dAfrique refused to accept of the rations o
powder and ball. when served out to the troops
just previous to battle nay, when the charge
was given. refused even TO discharge the load:
which were already in their weapons, but, rush
ing forward through the fire, they engaged tn,
Austrians. hand to hand. and bayOneted then
in the ranks. This is unquestiOnably the tru,
resource of superior physical condition.
On this plan the coming war between The
North and South will surely he contested aua
in part evidence thereof, will merely point Il
| the fact that the Government has already takeI
away the little costly breech-lOading toys which
the munifcence of New York put in the hand
of Col Ellsworth's regiment. and served out t,
them the spear. in the shape of a sabre, on tn,
end of MIME musket and may Heaven hell
those under the edge of whose bayOnets thes.
pet lambs shall succeed in getting. There
will be some strange fighting. in which pOssibl,
even hutting," wrestling and throttling may
form part; but after short turmoil. the re
suit will be heap of slain. and a flying rem
nant, each of whom will probably render Yer
diet of the struggle in the exclamation tina
- those fellows are not gentlemen" The sabre
bayOnet is also to he distributed throughout tn,
entire army, and l feel certain. from what
have gathered through military men, that The
actual embrace of battle, man to man. is wha
the Northern captains of this war intend mainly
| to rely upon.
