from Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 1861. :
Plan FOR STRENGTHENING TIE ARMY.
Since my letter, in which wrote Of tho
necessity Of arming our infantry with repeat
ing rifles, the subject is receiving the atten-
tion Of gentlemen connected with the ser
vice, and many distinguished officers look
upon it fayorably. also find that General
Mcclellan, and Captains Delaflc1d and Nor
decai, in their works written while in Eu-
rope, during the Crimean war, recommended
the use of repeating rifles for infantry. It
also appears that the Prussian aud Norwe-
j glan armies, the English. cavalry arm, the
Swedish navy and the celebrated Court
Guards Of France are armed with repeating
rifles. The French Chief Of Ordnance has
also recommended that tho entire army be
provided with this description Of weapon.
Mcclellan, In his work, says that the Prus-
sian repeating rifle can be fired seven times
per minute, and TINT 1t did good execution ut
one thousand PAGES. He also says that he
saw Prince's Engltsh) repeating rifle fired
one hundred and twenty times in eighteen
minutes. In my former letter on this SUBJ
tect the printer made me write that General
Rosscau highly recommended the repeating
