THE ART or WAR.

--Coone, r. c. Buchanan, OF the L. S. Army, IL
the inventor of a peculiar portable beat which has
been used in several expeditions in Oregon, and is
highly commended. 1t consists of an exceedingly
light framework Of thin and narrow boards, in
lengths suitable for packing, connected by hinges,
the different sections folding into 80 small compass
as to be conveniently carried upon mules, The frame
is covered with sheet of stout cotton canvas or duck
secured 10 the gunwales with cord running d-
agonay back and forth through eyelet-holes in the
upper edge. When first placed in the water the boat
leaks little, bet the canvas soon swells 30 as to
make it sufficiently tight for all practical purposes
One mule sufioes to transport boat with all ts APP
purtenances capable Of sustaining ten men. Should
the canvas be torn it is easily repaired by putting on
patch, and it does not rot crack like lndiarub-
Der or gutta.percbai besides it is not affected by
changes Of climate or temperature.
The effective preaching power of rfed cannon
has been shown by experiments in England to DO
yery great A martello tower 80 feet high and As
feet diameter, with walls Of solid brick masonry
from to 10 feet thick, had side completely
thrown down by 40 projectiles from the Armstrong
10 and s0-pomders, at a distance of 032 yards The
SO-pounder shot passed completely through the ma
sonry, feet and inches while the 4Opounder shot
was stopped at depth of feet. Rifed proectiles
are superior to smooth-bore, not merely from their
greater penetration but because the accuracy with
which they can be thrown permits concentration and
enables the gunners to cut out such pieces Of the
fertilization as they desire.
The allowance of clothing to soldiers is much
greater than 70 soldiers in European aFmies. Our
troops get one uniform-coat and two sack-coats a
year and pair of trousers every five months. In
the French army, the allowance for three years is
only one lunic aud three pairs of trousers, while
shell, jacket is given every two years. In the Sar.
dinian and Belgian armies, the great coat is ex-
pected to last eight year,. But the great durability
of the clothing Of European armiesis easily accounted
for when we consider the which is taken to in
sure good materials. Every yard Of cloth is sub
iected to very minute and distinct examinations by
boards of officers, assisted by experts who weigh it,
shrink it, and examine it inch by inch, against
strong light They also apply chemical tests to de-
tcct the quality of the dye and the manufactures
are at all times open to Inspectors who watch the
fabrication at every stage.

Mr.. LINDSAY, M Z.

To ne Editor Of The N. Y. Tribune
Sir: Allow me to give you some information about
Mr.. w. S. Lindsay, who lately made speech to his
constituents at Sunderland stating his opinion to be
that England should interfere with the Southern
blockade Mr. LindSays firm in London, w. 5.
Lindsay g. Co., ship brokers, of Austin Friars, at
one time did very large and profitable business
with American shipmasters and owners. The sharp
practice of the house has lost them the principal
part OF this business and it has been transferred to
other houses, who care for their reputation well
as their commissions.
Mr.. Lindsay individually is large shp-owner,
and naturally would like to employ his ships IN our
coasting trade. He last year came over to see II he
could not arrange this, but do not think he was
successful lie lately sent over one Of bis ships the
Tynemouth, for sale; but Government would not
buy. He is disappointed man; his " head Is sorei
no wonder, then, he is cross Mr.. Lindsay undoubt-
eddy thinks it would be an excellent thing for MIR.
Lindsay TO have a Southern Confederacy, and both
himself and his ships are entirely at their service for
a consideration, ONE WHO Knows Jim.

Gen. Fremont had begun preparations to lay

uhAPEs-how TO KEEP THEM.-We find the fol-
lowing directions in Field Notes, and as they como
from grape grower, where the f;rst vfneyards in.
the Atlantic States were planted, we presums thew
are worth following. In fact we know the plan ia
good one and probably the best. The paper should
be soft tissue, and the wax, such is used to seal
bottles, should be applied hot. Handle the punches
only just as much as will answer tn purpose. The
following are the directions of W. f.. Spear of Swiz-
erland county, Indiana:
"Cut the punches carefully off the vines. din the
stem where cut into melted wax, then wrap with
paper or cloth. Put layer of cotton the bottom
of your box, then layer of grapes, and layer of
cotton, and 30 on. Set the box where the grapes
will not freeze and they will be kept good till
