Training Artillery N0ryes.s

The Fortress Monroe correspondent
of the New York Commercial .Aduer-
tiser, says: r.r
1t requires considerable time to mount
the guns properly for an advancing
army, to supply item with trained
horses, and especially the right kind of
harness. The horse is curious, shy,
inquisitive animal. and when first ta-
ken from tho stable or pasture for the
purpose Of war, demands to be handled
with great care and patience. He
must be gradually accustf med to the
sudden and marked change in the stat
ues, the CLEAN CT arms, the roll Of
drums, the Haunting of banners, the
fash, the smoke, and the roar OF can
non. It is remarkable, however, that
when the practical war horse is thus
drilled and disciplined, his proficiency
in wheeling the guns and caissons, at
the critical moment of limberirg and
Numbering artillery, is wonderful
Without word, without touch, with
a sign from man, the wheels advances
and retreats with almost miraculous
rapidlty-at times compelling riders
and gunners to spring to keep theil
saddles or escape his lightning like ev-
olutions.
Such war horses as these are intend
ed to be, have been practising before
the window Of your correspondent o!
the parade ground Of the Fortress this
morning. Some few of the more re-
cent corners reared and sprang a little
at the first flashes and thunder of thu
cannon. While others stood as firm az
the adjacent trees, and looked on az
calmly as if they were feeding from ,
rack. At the close of the firing, som'
Of them were marched to the muzzle o
the still lot aid smoking gun, ant
made to put their nostrils close to tn
metal, feel the heat and inhale tn
smell Of powder They are thus laugh
to become on familiar terms with thei
new and strange acquaintance and fel
lew soldier, to measure his length wit
their eyes. eand fee! that his touch, a
their riders command IS rendcre

Andrew johnson, U. s. Senator from Ten
nessee, made an eloquent speech during the
late session, on the subject Of the war. He
traced the progress of tho rebellion, rebuked
secession, and added: -
The constitution and the laws are violated
at every step secession takes, He demanded
that the Governm,n mt should protect loyal men
in East Tennessee, and give them arms. The
rebels had even stopped the passes in the
mountains, that he (Johnson) should not go
back and carry arms to the people of the State.
He wanted to carry dcliverance to the brave
people, who were own-trodden and oppressed.
1t may be too late, and they may be overcome.
They may trample us under foot and change
our mountains to sepulchres, but they cannot
drive us from the Union-no, never! The
people of the villages and towns love the Gov
eminent, but have no arms. All they ask is
that the Government give them arms. All
they ask is that the Government give them
means, and then they will defend themselves
and, if finally conquered, they intend to
take the flag of freedom and place it on the
summit of the loftiest and most majestic
assaU.sir, to mark the spot where the Goddess
il 10y fingered and wept for the last time
before she took leave ofthe people once happy
free and prosperous. But the cause Of free
dom must triumph. Can the American peo
pie give up the graves Of Washington and
jackson, and let the flag Of disunion float
over those patriots? No, the people will rise
in their might and grandeur, and prosecute
the war, not for the subjugation of any of the
institutions of the South, but to maintain the
supremacy of the Government and the Con
stitution The Government can not, must no
fail What though the flag was sullied thu
other day-if necessary, to purify it, it will
be bathed in nations blood The natior
must be redeemed, and the cause must tri
umph on which rest the hope and freedom o
the civilized world He closed with an appea
to the Government to save them from ruin
from the most corrupt and direful conspirac,
ever seen in the world

1t is mistaken notion that intel
