The BrlueFRtnI SITUATION.

We said yesterday morning that he
strong point of attack and defense, from
the position of the two armies. will be
Coblentz and its environing fortresses.
To this objective point the movements Of
the French now seem to tend; and, in
deed, they could not well avoid over
coming or Gripping this great military
stronghold before undertaking other
offensive and more extended movements.
AS the interest Of the war now centers
upon this point. we will give q descrip-
ton of the place, including the re-
nowned fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, by a
well-informed writer in The New York
Tribune. He says:
The city of Coblentz is surrounded by
a strong wall, which is pierced on the
land side by only two gates, and these
are secured by casemated towers. The
walls of the town, however, can not be
reached without a struggle; for on the
same side, both of the Rhine and of the
Moselle, are the two strong forts. Alex
ander and Constantine, supported by a
third work, which is quite small. Fort
Alexander is the strongest and most i'm
portant point In this vicinity, except
Ehrenbreitstein. II lies on the Karthause
Hill, about 800 feet higher than the city,
and would naturally be the object of the
first attentions of the enemy in case of q
siege, since Fort Alexander having been
captured, Coblentz would be no longer
tenable, and q strong fire could be con-
centrated upon the river as we'll as the
land side of the works across the Moselle
and the Rhine. Fort Franz, on the left
bank of the Moselle, occupies q moderate
elevation, and commands the railroad
along the Rhine and the carriage roads
to Cologne and Treves, besides forming,
together with three smaller works, a sort
of fortified camp for a large body of
troops. All of this lies under the guns
of Ehrenbreitstein.
An army of 100, 600 men can encamp
under cover of the various forts about
Coblentz. They can communicate easily
between the opposite banks Of both the
rivers, by means of the railroad and pom
toon bridges across the Rhine, and the
| permanent railroad and carriage bridges
across the Moselle.
This strong position could be turned
by crossing the Rhine at Neuwied-the
point where Caesar first crossed-and ad-
vancing directly northward by a macad.
amized road through the estward. This,
however, would be a periious undertake
ing, and though the passage should be
made without interruption, a line of CON-
munication could not possibly be kept
open SO near to Coblentz.

1 stcafr TREATY.

Last NIGHTS dispatches have some
thing to say about a secret treaty thai
has inst come to light, and which seems
to greatly exercise the English press.
without further explanation than that
contained in the dispatch. we are unable
10 more than conjecture the character of
this mvsterious treaty. The Times con-
siders II a proper pretext for Intervention
in favor of Prussia, and intimates some
thing which we construe to mean its vio-
lation by France. We can just now
think of several treaty subjects which
NAV have been negotiated and subscribed
to by France, England and Prussia.
The frat would be that Denmark. in the
event of war, should preserve a strict
neutrality. and close the straits of the
Sound to actual belligerents. We
have seen that France has fitted out
a naval expedition to coerce Denmark
into an alliance, and for that purpose to
compel, BY force, a change in the Danish
Ministry. The result of such an at
tempt, If successful, would be to give the
French navy entire control of the Baltic,
and TO blockade all the Prussian ports,
from the Gulf of Lubec to the northeast
ernmost confines of the Germanic Ter
ritory. Indeed, such an advantage over
the Prussian outlets in the Baltic would
not only materially affect the contingent
cies of the war, but prevent Great Bri-
tain from carrying on her usual profta-
BILE trade on the misfortunes of other
Nations. Hence the London press howl
all in the same key. The second is, that
q secret convention may have been held
between these Powers, based on the arti-
Gle adopted by the Congress of lS59-'6O.
in which priyateering was declared a
relic of barbarism, and inconsistent with
honorable modern warfare. France, in
he present contest, has treated this doc
with contempt, and held the ship
ping of Prussia to the strict rules of
and confiscation that always pre-
Whatever this secret treaty may
be, IL is evident, from the wall sent up by
he London press, that Great Britain is
hurt in q vital point by its violation.

FROM THE FRoSr.-After an absence of
over a week, the editor of this paper re-
turned last night from Ely. He Is favora-
bly, impressed with the prospects of
Southeastern Nevada, and thinks that
Phoebe will be a well-to-do camp for an
indefinite time. The mines in that Vi
cinity are realizing. in many instances,
the hopes of their discoverers. Our Sc
nior brought back with him an ornitho-
logical curiosity, in the shape Of a live
goose, of stupendous proportions. Its
feathers are very handsome, and will
furnish a large supply of graceful as well
as trenchant quilts for this sanctum. We
abdicate in favor of the newcomer.

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, July 26.
Nearly all the journals have editorial
remarks this morning ON the secret
treaty, and all are similar in tone.
France must explain the offense viola
ton Of the treaty, are the words of
The Times and the burden of the Lon
don Press.
The Times particularly is seeking to
make this treaty a pretext for the inter-
vention of England in favor of Prussia.
The attitude of ireland is also COM
mented upon. After giving the details
of many meetings held in Ireland, and
the strong resolutions Of sympathy for
France adopted, The Times asserts that
the sympathy is altogether due to cathol-
icism and consequent hatred of German
professionalism.

THE ARLINGTON EsTATE.-The Wash
ington Star says: 1t is supposed by
many that the Government holds posses
sion of Arlington by reason of the con-
fscation act, and according to the provis
ions of that law the title can only be vest
ed in the Government during the life of
the party who engaged in the rebellion.
Hence it said that Arlington now reverts
to the heirs of Gen. Lee Such is not the
case, however, as the property is not held
under the confscation act, not having be-
longed to General Lee. At the death of
Mr.. Gusts, lifeinterest in it was be
queathed to Mrs. Lee, his daughter, and
at her death it was to be his grandson S,
Gusts ana Fitz Hugh Lee. The taxes
upon the property having accumulated
during the rebellion, it was sold therefor
and purchased by the Government.
Thus it will be seen it is held by virtue
of tax title. subsequently, efforts were
made to redeem it by paying the amount
of taxes but, so far, they have been IN
successful, and the title is still vested in
the Government, by virtue of the tax sale
alluded to. As the Arlington estate has
now been converted into great national
cemetery, and is filled with the bones of
those who fell in the war of the rebellion,
it cannot we'll be used for any other pur-
pose, and its possession could hardly be
desirable to the Lee family.

To SEE Down A WELL-It is not gen.
orally known how easy matter it is to
explore the bottom of we'll, cistern, or
pond of water, by the use ola common
mirror. When the sun is shining bright
ly, hold mirror so that the reflected
rays of light will falliuto the water A
bright spot will be.seen at the bottom, so
Hight as to show the smallest object very
plainly. By this means we have exam
med the bottom of wells fifty feet deep,

straw, or other small object can be. per
fectly seen from the surface. In the same
Way, one can examine the bottom OF
ponds and rivers, if the waters be some.
what clear, and not agitated by wind or
rapid motion. If a well or clstern be un-
der cover, or shaded by buildings, so that
the sunlight will not fall near the ope-
ming, it is only necessary to employ two
mirrors, using one to reflect the light to
the opening, and another to send it down
.perpendicularly into the water. Light
may be thrown fifty or a hundred yards
to the precise spot desired, and then
downward. We have used the mirror
with success, to reflect light around the
house to a shaded we'll, and also to car
ry it from south window through two
rooms, ana then intoa cistern under the
north side of the house Half dozen
reflections may re made, though each
mirror diminishes thee brilliancy Of the
light. Let any one, not familiar with
the method, try it, and he will not only
find 1t useful, but pleasant experiment
1t will perhaps, reveal mass of sediment
at the bottom of a well that had been lit
tie thought of but which may have been
a frightful source of disease by its decay
