SAND men, eleven pieces of cannon, all their
baggage and vast quantity of small arms.
Sir Walter Scott attributes the numerous So
condary victories of the Scotch over the Eng
lish to the strength and solidity Of their pha-
ianxes Of spearmen. In the Irish rebellion of
l7ss the pike was the principal weapon of the
peasantry. In fact, as Hay the historian of it
remarks, they were arm ed not only with pixies,
but "spits, pitchforks, and such like weapons"
At place called Kilcullen regiment of three
hundred pikemen thrice repulssd regiment of
dragons, with great slaughter. The value Of
the pike against cavalry was thus established
in that war. Sir Jonah Darlington, in his
"Historc Memoirs" says:-"The pike, at the
commencement, very frequently succeeded
against the regular, and always against the
yeomanry cavalry, and in close combat with
even the infantry it proved in some instances
Irresistible. The extreme expertness with
which the Irish handled the pike was surpris
ing. BY Withdrawing it they could shorten it
to little more than the length Of dagger, and
in o second dart it out to its full extent A
solid mass or deep column Of determined pike
men could only be broken by artillery or
heavy fire Of musketry. Well served artillery
they could not Withstand, il not close enough
to be rushed upon. Colonel Foot's infantry
was nearly annihilated by the pike at Oulard;
only the Major and two others escaped"
Notwithstanding the skill Of these races In
the use of the pike, and Notwithstanding their
many victories and their prowess in war, un-
surpassed by any other nations in Europe, they
were vanquished at last by superior weapons |;
the Scotch by the long bow, and the Irish and
the Poles by firearms But how much more
are modern artillery and modern musketry and
rifles, with bayonets and swords attached,
superior to this antiquated weapon, which is
only resorted to by the rebels as despe
rate necessity! All things equal, the moral
effect alone of the bayonet, with ball
cartridge behind it, ready to be let go
at any moment, is decisive of its superiori
ty over the simple pike of other days.

MERCIEgs VISIT TO RIoHxosD.--The current
topic Of conversation aud speculation con.
tinues TO be the visit Of Minister Mercier TO the
rebel headquarters, at Richmond. The unofli
cial rebels at Norfolk seem quite puzzled to
divine the mystery, and are as anxious as our
people to get at the real truth. The Norfolk
Dry Book declares, however, that Merciers
visit has great significance, and adds that X It
were only intended to preserve the tobacco
crop Of the confederacy It would be quite in
vain, as the rebels have determined to devote
The narcotic weed to the flames rather than
allow it To Gil the pipes of Lincolns myrmi-
doms.
There is no doubt, we think, but that M.
Morcier's visit is with political object It is
we'll known that the French, as well as the
English, have been very anxious to raise our
blockade, and very active in'sseking pretext
for that messrse The following note, found
