TRANSPORTATION of Armies.

A committee of officers, recently in
session in Berlin, to inquire into the
results of the employment of railways
during the Franco Prussian war, has re-
ported that when the distance to be
traversed is short, and considerable
force has to be conveyed, an army corps
will proceed more rapidly on foot than
by railway. Thus, force of $4,000
men will, it is stated, 60 distance of
fifty-one miles in less time than if
it were conveyed by double line of
railway, and distance of ninety-two
miles in less time than if it were trans
ported over single line. A saving of
time in forwarding large bodies of
troops by railway, it has been calcu-
lated, is only to be obtained when the
proportion of men to miles is six hun
bred to one on double line, and foul
hundred to one on single line. The
French, it is said, frequently suffered
great losses from not observing the above
rule in the conveyance of troops, bu
surpassed the Germans in the employ
ment of railways for the TRANSPORTATION
of provisions. For this purpose movable
magazines, each containing ten days
provisions for an army corps, were al
ways kept ready to be dispatched wher
ever wanted.
