Before "Dorking."

The " battle of Dorking'' has really stirred
up the English mind, and the army and navy
movements now made are clearly significant of
the alarming influence of that remarkable little
pamphlet The Chatham yard was 80 acres in
extent. Now $50 more are to be added. Three
large basins are in the plan, and one, q acres in
extent, and with a frontage of 8 1000 feet, is fin
ished. 1t has connected with it four large docks.
each capable of containing ships as large as the
Great Eastern. The two other basins will be
completed within a year or two. The estimates
cost of all is FL zoe, 900, and the Times, after
ghrying in the works, remarks significantly that
II every ship we send to sea is to be sunk instan-
taneously by the enemy's torpedoes, according to
the speculations of historical fiction, we shall not
want repairing basins, or, for that matter. build
ing yards, and then observes that according to
ordinary war chances. it is well 70 strengthen the
national defences by developing naval resources.
Little has been done in England yet to increase
the army, but the additions made by the Card
well bill will give at home l08 600 regular troops.
To the militia As 900 are added, and the volun-
teers are so encouraged that a total armed force
IN England of 497 ZIG soldiers is provided for.
Since lS47, when the invasion panics began, to
1871, when it is hoped they will end, the war
of England has doubled. And all
this because of the scare-crow across the channel.
Already France has been painted out and Ger
many painted in, but the Times blusteringly
says, We have a fleet which could sweep the
of every enemy, and an army of regular
soldiers quite strong enough to give an account
OF any invaders who might ~contrive to escape the
deet, and therefore the panic-stricken should be
comtorted and England content.

Another Antidote to the Battle of Dor
king"

The English people cannot get over the Bat
tie of Dorking =" story, nor the echo Of it from
the AHgemeine Zeitung. The London Times of
June 22d had another prophetic fable, called
The Second Armada" describing England's
victory in a great sea fight, as an antidote-and
now a correspondent of the Spectator follows up
the Armada story with the following:
The antidote which the Times has been gra-
ciously pleased to provide for the Battle of Dor
king seems to me not to 90 far enough. The
chronicler of the English victory on the Suffolk
coast is content with disputlng the military con-
illusions of the ingenious writer in BLacktoO0d
but why not begin at the root of the matter,
and dispute his political premises? The writer
OF the Battle of Dorking" assumes a war
with the United States, c new Indian mutiny, and
an Irish rebellion, to prepare the way for a dis
astrous conflict with Germany, and apparently
Russia also. Whereas we have, as | submit, at
least as good a right to forecast a political chro-
nology somewhat of this kind
1870-l890-The German Empire consolidates
and liberalizes its institutions with surprising
rapldity.
lS80-Tbe principal Powers of the West adopt
the principles of the Treaty of Washington, and
establish a perpetual tribunal of international
law.
1S85-Marked uneasiness of Russia and activity
of Pan-Slavonic agitation.
lS90-The new Kaiser opens Prince Bis
marck' g political testament. The directing minds
of the German Empire take a more decidedly
Democratic turn. After suggestions from Russia
that European order and the independence of
non-Teutonic nationalities are in danger, Russia
arms steadily and secretly.
l892-Fall of the reactionary regime in France.
Attempt at pressure from Russia, checked by the
German Government putting itself formally at
the head of the advanced Liberals of Europe.
lS92-l895-Russia prepares for the final strug-
gle of despotism under the form of a Pan-Slavonic
and Socialist crusade.
lS96-The Federation of the West declares
Russia a public enemy. Berlin telegraphs for
an English corps de armee, approaching our rifles
and artillery. England telegraphs for the United
States feet, and sends the Channel Squadron
without hesitatation to the Mediterranean
The sequel may be filled in at pleasure. Replies
in detail are proverbially failures, and the writer
OF The Battle of Dorking" has set a hard task
to any one who tries to encounter him ON his own
ground. Only l should like the scene to open
with the abrupt announcement of a German army
corps being ready to land at Harwich, and an
American fleet being off Plymouth, SO that the
reader might be excited by a little wholesome
fright. until he discovered both forces to be our
good friends and partakers in the coming triumph
of civilization. | am, sir. &C.,
