ed Tor the manufacture of their .favorite
l2Fpounder Napoleon gun, will not be
severely felt by the Confederates, even
though it should prove permanent. l
was surprised to find, during my re-
cent visit to General Bragg's camp, un-
mistakeable evidence that the field artil-
lery of the Western Confederate army is
superior to that of the army recently com.
manded by General Rosecrans. Among
the GO guns captured by the Coufederates
at Chickamauga, there is large number
of 6 Founders, which have long ago been
condemned by the Confederate ordnance
authorities as too small for the field SER
vice, and which have altogether disap-
peared from General Lees army in Vir.
ginia. A few 6 Founders are still in the
service Of General Bragg's army, but they
have almost disappeared, and are being
replaced by the T12 FOUNDER Napoleons.
Probably by next spring the 6 Founders
will have been altogether banished from
the Confederate armies, and will be found
doing duty along the banks of the Mis-
sissippi, service for which their lightness
admirably adapts them.
was struck by the superior organiza-
ton of the artillery in General Lees as
compared with that in General Bragg's
army. 1t is true that upon neither side has
the artillery been so great feature in
these Western battles of Virginia But
the organization and distribution of the
artillery, not into batteries of four or FIVE
guns, but into battalions, which comprise
four or five batteries, or, in other words,
twenty guns, has worked admirably in
Virginia, and was, / believe, chiefly the
result of Gen. Longstreet's advice. The
battery organization is still retained in
General Bragg's army, except in that por-
tion Of it which is under the command of
General Longstreet. - t' '.
In General Lees army to each corps
are assigned five battalions of artillery, Of
in round numbers, one hundred guns
whereof two battalions are held in reserve.
It will be imagined that in the gigantic
battles of this continent, which extend
over miles, and are contested by enormous
armies, very little effect is produced by
the opening of battery of four or six
guns. But the simultaneous discharge of
eighteen or twenty guns in well chosen
position has never failed to make itself
sensibly felt; and to a measure of this
kind-I mean the opening by General
Buckner of twelve pieces upon the Fed
eral column, which during the battle of
Chickamauga was thrown from the Federal
left to the Federal right-General Long
street mainly attributes the success which
he gained on that day. 2

THE HORRORS OF CIVIL WAR LAS
a warning to the American people at this
time, they should read the history Of the
French revolution, and contemplate its hor-
rible results. The extent to which blood
was shed during its continuance will hard.
ly be credited by the present age, but it
is correctly stated that the number of vic
tins reached one million, twenty. two thou
sand, three hundred and fifty-one. Ofthis
number eighteen thousand six hundred
and three were guillotined by the order
of the Revolutionary Tribunals; thirty.
two thousand were victims under Carrier
at Nantes; thirty-two thousand at Lyons;
three thousand four hundred women died
of premature childbirth three hundred
and forty-eight in childbirth from grief
and there were slain, during the war in La
Vendee, one hundred thousand men, fifteen
thousand women, and twenty-two thou
sand children. Iu this enumeration are
not comprehended the massacres at Yer
sailles, at the Abbey, the Carmes and other
prisons, on the I'd of September; the vic
Tins shot at Toulun and Marseilles or the
persons slain in the little town of Bedoin,
of which the whole population persisted.

There are two men whose names are
seldom heard in connection with this war
but who have probably contributed more
to the Confederate success than any 9TH
er persons, with the exception of Lee,
jackson, and Longstreet-I mean Col.
Rains and Captain Brooke. Both OF them
modest and unobtrusive men, absorbed 10
scientific researches, inexhaustible in the
fertility Of their resources, indefatigable
in energy, they have presented during
the last thirty months record for the
study Of their countrymen which will
every where be read with profit whenever
the history of this great revolution is
fully and fairly told L have seldom had
the advantage of ,encountering any man
whose conversation was so instructive and
interesting as that of Colonel Rains.
His recapitulation of the difficulties
which he has had to encounter, of tie de-
iciencies which he has every day to sup
plement and circumvent by ingenuity, and
of the result OF his work, as evidenced by
his contributions to the Confederate, ar
mics, is such as to awaken amazement.

the Augusta gunpowder mill. From that
time up to the present hour its efficiency
has been constauly on the increase, and as
evidence of its prolific working [ may
mention that since its opening on the 9th
of April, 1862, Colonel Rains has sent a
million and a half pounds of powder to
Richmond alone, exclusive of his contri.
buttons to Vicksburg, Charleston, Mobile,
and the armies Of Generals Bragg and
Johnston. From his Arsenal Of Con-
