The artIIIerY service.

The heaviest work of war has long been
performed By artillery. 1t performs what no
other branch Of the service can perftrm. From
the campaigns of Charles VIII of France
who frst organized a rude but distinct system
of Geld artillery, in his Italian war, down 10
the present, that arm of the military has been
gradually growing in importance ana EN-
clancy. The improvements OF late years In
both light and heavy ordnance and in neld
batteries have given it a prominence hitherto
unknown. It is destined TO play most con-
spicuous part in the pending war between the
hIorth and the South, and We think it will be
proved before the var is ended that each
GOOD field battery well served will be worth
a thousand men. In ali the sEirnishes We
have already had. it has made its mark as
most effective and powerful means Of both
offence and defence. The sooner We accept
this fact the better. We are in = situation to
avail ourselves Of its advantages to the great
at extent, and should do SO by all means
Our enemies are now bringing more can
non into the field than ever before. By their
use they can reach and break our columns at
long ranges with great effect, before our in
fantry can play upon them with the most i'm
proved small arms. Minnie balls, sabres and
bsyonets are thus to be put at defiance, till
the conflict becomes hand TO hand or next to
that. We cannot afford to allow our adyer-
.aries such important advantages, and We
cannot neglect them on our own part with
prudence or with safety. We should take
care 10 meet them On equal terms In this re-
spect; and if sc have not field artillery
enough at present, We should lose no time in
providing it. We have in our possession the
materials and facilities for making field pieces
in any number and OF the best quality. We
saw few days ago in this city rifled four

attention to the subject, and make provision.

our military service. We have in our own
State the best iron that is to be found on the

NAVAL ENGAGEMENT-GAL AND OAR.
ING CHASE OF A FEDERAL STEAMER.-Ou
Sunday evening, about O'Clock, while the
Confederate steamer Empire was engaged in
accommodating the enemy 3 works at Newport
News, Captain Parrish discoveredlthe Federal
steamer Cdtaline, some distance off and under
Roadway for Old Point. Chase was immedi.
ately given, and when within few miles OF
Hampton Greek, the Empire fired two shots
one of which is believed to haze taken effect
on the Cataline-and but for the proximit y
of the Cumberland frigate, which promptly
opened her battery to stop the chase, the Ca
taline would in all probability have fallen
into our hands.
Capt. Parrish and his officers deserve much
praise for their daring conduct in this little
affair, as do also several of the Richmond
Greys who were on board the Empire as a
marine guard. 1t is hoped that Capt. Par
IRISH may soon be better prepared for often.

crew are detained as prisoners on board the
flagship Minnesota, and that they will be
brought to this city for trial during the pres
ent week.
The District Attorney intend to prosecute
this case with vigOr. The prisoners will be
