The Afghanistan War.

The Baltimore american presents the pro-
gress and results of the English invasion of
Afghanistan, in the following interesting
paragraph:
The comparative ease with which the Brit
ish armies have advanced into Afghanistan
suggests the value Of scientific warfare. AT
the outset it seemed most imprudent for the
commanders OF the troops to undertake the
conquest OF the Ameer's country with the
small forces at their back. The three invad-
ing columns, separated by wide intervals of
space, do not altogether number twenty
thousand men, ana thst which has gone
through the khyher Pass is made up of less
than s;sssis slioussa9. Every circumstance
seemed to combine to inarktbc enterprise as
extremely hazardous, The mountain bur-
riers of Afghanistan afford isnrivalled local
tiles for defence, where a hundred trained
and faithful soldiers ought to hold their
ground agains: thousand. Strong fort
resses crowned the heights overlooking the
defiles through which the enemy must march,
and it was believed that defensive operations
were directed by Russian veteran officers, as
well as that Shere Ali's soldiers were equip
ped with Russian arms and ammunition
The Ameer had promised to ''hurl the Dor
der tribes against the English like blasts OF
fire, thus besetting them with foes from the
very moment OF their passage over the In
dian frontier. But, in spite of all obstacles,
the British advance has scarcely been any
thing more serious than military prone
made. And success has so far been achieved
by pitting against savage valor and stub
bornness the strategical tactics of European
warfare. Instead OF wasting blood by d.
rect assaults upon the Afghan strongholds
in the mountains, each of them has been
thanked and captured by turns. The defend
ers foDnd themselves assailed ontwo or three
sides, and so fled By the only way left open
to the interior cities. The English victories
are trlmphs OF military. skill, and unless
halted by the codand SHOWS OF winter in
those high uplands, they may very soon
plant their banners upon the walls of Cabul,
Herat and Kandahar. 1t is also evident that
il Shere Ali relied upon help from Russia,
he has been sadly disappointed. Lord Bea-
cozsfield has declared in Parliament that
kussfa's conduct recently has seen satisfac-
tory. indicating that she has kept her hands
out of Epgland's quarrel with Shere ALL
But after that is settled she may have some
thing to say concerning that rectification Of
the frontier which Lord Beaconsfield an
neunces must result from the war, and it |
would not be surprising if Afghanistan
should become an Asiatic PolaEd and be d. |
yided between Great Britain and Russia, al |
