The shocking casualties among prominent
commanders in the present war, followed by
sudden and amazing recovery, will be cited
hereafter as the greatest curiOsities of history.
The Emperor Napoleon died at Chalons at an
early period in the struggle He died again
between Chalons and M6zieres. He tried to
die third time at the head of his army, but
could not. AT present he is i'll better health
than he has enjoyed for years.
Marshal MacMahOn, after being instanta-
neOusly killed at Sedan, recovered in time to
be mortally wounded and die in Belgium. He
is now cOnvalescent.
Gen. Failly was shot by his own troops. He
was afterwards killed III battle by the Prus-
slams Finally he was executed for cowardice.
He is now alive and well.
King William went raving mad and was
conveyed to Berlin in straight jacket, ever
since which time he has been in command at
the front.
Bismarck has been shot. The Crown Prince
was killed in action three weeks ago. Suisse
quently the former gentleman held several in
teresting conversations with NJ. Favre and
THE TRIBUNE correspondent and the Prince
Notwithstanding his ntimey demise, has con-
tinued TO make pretty lively times in the
neighborhood Of Paris.
The latest victim is Gen Won Motke. who
has been borne to his grave in three lead
cofins, at three different times, and with three
splendid funeral professions. He has not
appeared yet but he has been so effectually
buried that the resurrection will take longer
in his case than it did in the others.

MR. TWEED AND THE WOPLD.
r for us.

Our esteemed friend The World is in very
bad bumOr with certain New-YOrk journals
which persist in alluding to the suddenly ac-
quired wealth of Mr.. William M. Tweed. Of
course it is highly indelicate to speak of the
private affairs of public man =. but here is
what The World said of Mr.. Tweed on the 1st
of April, 1870:
"Mr. Tweeds native modosty shrlnks from blazoning
abroad the exact extent OF his present wealth. or the
exact means by which II wns aoa"i'od- Hio "onSit'o
at even the partial publicity OF the income
list We tossed upon the bOundess ocean Of cOec-
tlre But do know from his own reluctant lips that
this public servant, who entered the public service
bankrupt has become, by an entire abandonment Of
himself tho public good zone OF the largest taxpayers
in New-York' His influence IL cOexensiye with his
cash. The dooie Legislature sits at his feet al saul at
the feet Of Gamaie and waits, In reverent inactivity
for his signal before proceeding to action.
Turned by his nod the stream Of honor flows;
His smile alone security bestOws.'
Are We TO ignore shining example OF the grat
tude OF Republics Does not Mr.. Tweed's palace in
town. Mr. Tweed's villa in the country, Mr.. Tweed's
sumptuous stables and Mr. Tweed's numerous stud' as
plainly show forth the gratitude OF New-fork to It's
Tweed "a does Benheim the gratitude Of England 20
Marlborough, or strahaedsaye to Wellington
al" IL true that these substantial tributes 20 the virtues
and genius Of Mr.. Tweed were not made over to him
paid 10 British benefactOrs. But 1t is ncontestabe that
they were equally derived from his constituency The
exact Of the operation we cannot In all cases
know. We only know that Mr. Tweed's strictly Official
remuneration is absurdly inadequate for the main
enance OF Mr. Tweeds personal glores We are left to
Imagine how grateful constituents, overcome by their
feelings, falling upon the neck Of Tweed, surrephuousy
insert checks for vast amounts in his waiscoat pockets
Upon other suppostion is it possible 10 ac-
count the rapid and astonishing growth OF Tweed
There another pretended explanation OF the phenom
Of Tweed but mention it only to spurn 1t with
horror and disgust 1t is said that Mr. Tweed has pros
tucd his public empOyments to his private ends. In
fact onvous persons have gone far TO say
that Mr. Tweed has by various lees crcuitous
processes swinded the city which his political emnence
n It dsgraces out OF the whole OF his fortune In con-
fuaton such 1t sOnly necessary TO point out
that Mr.. Tweed's course has met the unqualified ap-
proya OF his constituency"
Mr.. Tweed's course now meets the unquali-
fed approval of The World. But since April
you see, The World, and Mr.. Tweed, and John
Il. Hoffman have fixed things.

The damage to the Virginia railways by the
late floods has been greatly exaggerated by
the telcgraDhic reports. Only four bridges on
the Great Southern Railroad ria Washington,
Alexandria, and Lynchburg were destroyed
and the losses reported at S5OO,OOO will not
exceed $4,000. None of the lines south of
Lynchbug were destroyed, and Col. James b.
Yates informs us that the route will be in
running order by Monday next.
New-York tribune., 1870-10-07

Here is a remark pointed at Mr.. Tweed :;
we are asked to accept the incredible as
" sumption that the voters and taxpayers of
the City of New-YoTk are so stupidity vicious
" that they insist upon renewing the repOsal
" of betrayed trusts, and granting office to
man whose whole incumbeney of II has been
spent in the successful effort of devlsine new
modes for swindling them.S From Repub-
lican newspaper, of comsei oh, no; it is from
Tie World of last April.

There is an amateur in hOrse-iesh in the Troy ai.
Young by name, but evidently very old bird. who
did not purchase the coveted steeds in the regular
way. but secured them by the simple method of lsr-
eeny Being in tight place, he has bethou8ht him
of writing complimentary letters to the Sheriff. and
of assuring that officer that "he has personal H.
will or enmity against him. He further declares
that he expects to secure his admittance TO the
estia realms through a broken heart and q cOntrits
spirit lie takes pains, however to inform thd
Sheriff that as the chief of his future joys.
lie also expects to see that dignitary seated
upon the right hand of the throne, and hear
him shout praises of redemption in tina
loudest sweetest hOiest strains that vibrate around
the arch of Heaven" This appropriation of horses. il
will be seen is of more catholic faith than is
mon among his kind for he not only anticipates
going to glory himself, but even the fact that
Sheriff will be there does not diminish his own rap
ture. 1t is not strange, perhaps, that so many
hardened scamps should retain such a command over
the dialect of religious innocence and lively faith
the wonder is that they should suppose that the most
profuse of great quantity of stereotyped phrases
can have any modifying effect upon the official hear
and yet wretches left for execution resort 10 it freely
even after the carpenters have begun to erect the
scaffold.

generally results in the loss of
just its numbers in the main
battle. We doubt the utility
of the quick step and double
quick step, and evolutions per-
formed from the march. A bat
tie is a mighty exciting thing,
and SO every measure should
be used to allay excitement. A
man who runs a hundred yards
can't shoot with accuracy. A
bothered soldier will forget to
shut his left eye.
Cannon in field fights are
only fit to scare cavalry. A field
piece at four hundred yards has
some little effect, but the rifle
is very effective at six hundred
yards. The cannon is costly
and extremely cumbersome
Infantry is cheap and easily
manmuvred.
Cavalry is extremely useful
in its place; but its place is not
fighting. It must act the part
Of videttes and scouts, and as
police for the army.
Five hundred cavalry to ten
thousand infantry is the due
proportion. Let no one think
that we are casting aspersion
on the cavalry of Louisiana and
Texas in the late war. This
was not real cavalry, but rather
mounted infantry, and under
Green, Boon and some others,
did good service. Had Green's
men not been mounted, they
could not have arrived in time
to fight the battle at Mansfield,
where dismounting, they did
excellent service.
