"SrRATEGIc INTUITION Gen. Halleck
tells curious story Of "Jomini," showing
his remarkable knowledge Of strategy, or
what the French call strategic intuition.-
One cannot but regard that the quality was
not more general:
"Having been summoned to the Imperial
headquarters at Mayenca, at the beginning
Of the campaign Of Jeno. Napoleon said to
him: II am delighted that the first work
which demonstrates the true principles of
war has appeared in my reign. No work
like yours is taught IN our military schools.
We are going to fight the Prussans. l
have called you near me because you have
written on the campaigns Of Frederick the
Great because you know his army and have
studied the theatre Of the war. Jomini
asked for four days to get his horse and
equippage from the headquarters of Mar
shall Ney, and added that he would join
his majesty at Bamberg. "Why at Bam-
bergr" said the Emperor. "Who told you
that am going to Bamberg ?" "The map
Of Germany sire. There are hundred
roads on that map" said Napoleon. "Yes,
sire but it is probable that your Majesty
will make against the left of the PIussians
the same manoeuvre which was made at
Denaworth against the right Of Muck and
by St Bernard against the right Of Melas. !"
Very well," said Napoleon 60 to Bamberg
but don't say word about it; no one
should know that I am going to Bamberg. +"

A New PAPER MAKING PsocEss.-T

A New PAPER MAKING PROCESS.
Boston Transcript understands that gen
tleman of that city, who has already sue
cessfuly introduced many improvements
in the manufacture Of tibrous and felted
goods, has patented process for making
paper stock from fax, wool or other 6brous
materials, by which it is claimed that one
half the chemicals now used will be saved,
and that good stock may be made for less
than six cents per pound. Paper makers
will understand the importance Of the saw.
Jog IN chemicals, which is one Of tne heav-
l. Ct items OF expenditure in making paper
stock. As yet nothing has been done to
put the new process into practical opera
tion, or even to test its merits, the time and
attention of the inventor being absorbed
by his other extensive buiness operations.
But the attention Of printers, paper makers
and capitalists cannot fail to be drawn to
any improved process which holds out .
hope of again supplying q cheap paper,
and it is possible that We may soon see .
revolution in paper manufacture.

"A system Of policy thus constitutional,
and pervaded by the influence Of Christi
anity and freedom, would receive the sup
port of almost all truly loyal men, would
deeply impress the rebel masses and all
foreign nations, and it might be humbly
hoped that it would commend itself to the
favor of the Almighty.
"Unless the principles governing the fu-
ture conduct of our struggle shall be made
known and approved, the effort to obtain
requisite forces will be almost hopeless.
A declaration Of radical views, especially
upon slavery, will rapidly disintegrate our
present armies.
'The policy Of the government must be
supported by concentrations Of military
power. The national forces should not be
dispersed in expeditions, posts of occupa.
tion, and numerous armies /; but should be
mainly collected into masses and brought
to bear upon the armies Of the Confederate

The new Bankrupt Law.

Of the various measures proposed for the
relief Of bankrupts, the bill that has been pre-
pared by Mr.. Jenckes. of tho special committee
appointed by the House of Representatives to
consider the subject, appears to us the simplest,
most economical and least liable to be per-
verted into an instrument Of injustice. II seems
to unite the best features Of the English and
French laws with the notifications required
by the peculiarities Of our judicial system.
1t gives to the United States district courts
full jurisdiction over oil bankruptcy issues, the
place Of trial being within the discretion OF
the Judge The circuit courts are to have
experimenting jurisdiction over all the district
courts within the circuit, so that at any time, by
bill or any ordinary process, questions Of law
essential to q settlement Of tho estate may be
tried pari passu In circuit court and district
court without any arrest Of proceedings in
district court There are TO be registers in
bankruptcy, appoIntable jointly by o circuit
Judge and any one Of the district judges within
his circuit, or, In case Of disagreement, by the
circuit judge alone. These registers are to
have the power Of holding chambers and de-
Gliding all matters when there is no opposition
They are to be paid by fees. Power is given
the President, by and with the advice and con-
sent Of the Senate, and upon application on
certificate Of both the judges OF the circuit
