German Gymnas,Ic DrilI.

In private letter to gentleman in
New York, the contents Of which are
furnished to the Cincinnati Gazette by a
correspondent, the secret Of the success
attending the German arms in recent
struggles is partially unfolded by a
description Of the drill under which the
soldiers have to pass. The writer
witnessed some portions of it while
strolhng near the barracks outside of
Madgeburg. For raw recruits a lot of
gun boxes we're piled up to height of
four or five feet, and over these the men
were required to make haudsprings,
each one on fAil1re being required to try
it again until successful Another
squad was practicing leap over four
foot high pile, touching only with the
right hand. Others we're springing with
the help Of the left hand only, and others
still without touching either hand. At
one side OF the drill ground were hori.
zontsl bars, and other appliances Of the
gymnasium, at all of which squads we're
at exercise, every squad being under
the supervision Of an officer. In
another place was a wall breast high,
over which soldiers in full marching or.
der, with muskets and knapsacks, were
leaping, with only the assistance of their
left hands. With bay fixed they
marched to the front OF the wall, and
halted at the word of command. Then,
at another order, each rested his left
hand ON the wall, and at another he
leaped over without his feet touching or
hitting the butt of his musket against
the stone. Several times they did thus,
and then from distance of twelve or
fifteen yards, went over it at run in
the same way, by the use Of only the
left hand Such exercise as all this
glves a man, must necessarily make him,
III measure, insenslble to the ordinary
fatigue Of an active campaign, and has
also the double effect OF keeping the
men under strict discipline while i'm.
proving their physique.
