Infantry as. ATtittery. /;

a Some curious experiments have been
made in England for the purpose OF
demonstrating the value Of infantry as
opposed to artillery. The result was not
such as was anticipated. A half battery
of artillery was represented bythreelogs
ofswood painted black, each supported
by coupleiof trestles.l The guns were
at full intervals and placed on shelf Of
tie target butt, about twelve feet above
the level of the range. In,rear Of each
gun, ct distance of some. four yards,
were placed, resting in a slightly-inclinf
ed position against the target butts q
brown, blanket on finmeb eight feet
square. These represented the limbers
and teams. The gunners were supposed
to be kneelipg in. shallow pits, giving
some slight protection, and werp repre-
sented by blackboards four feet high by
twenty inches broad, the top diminish
ing like the summit of tombstone.
There we're five gunners to each gun,
one gunner TO each timber, and an offic-
.er. In order to give an air Of realism to
the experiment, fire of wood and straw
was kindled on one side of the guns, in
order that the latter might be partly
shrouded by smoke as they would be in
action.o Opposed to these guns were
two sections, each Of ten picked marks
men. The range was 400 yards, and
ten rounds per man were consumed in
independent firing and ten rounds in
volley firing. Two hundred cartridges
were fred, and but ssingle dummy gun
ner was hit

!A7Silver Discovery. I.

There is great excitement Mason
county OH account of the discovery of o
rich silver ledge on the Perdinales,about
two miles below the falls, crossing the
bottom Of a deep canon n'Dr.' Hachenn-
berg's rancho. A few days ago several
men with team appearedin our village
and inquired for the owner Of this
rancho. In their interview with the
Doctor they first proposed to buy it,
But when they found that it was not for
sale, they asked for lease to grant them
the privilege to seek for minerals on the
land and to work the same If they are
found. On close interrogation they said
they supposed there was silver on the
place. The Doctor rather abruptly told
them that as long as he supposed there
was silver on the place he would put no
such restrictions on his lands, but if they
gave him positive proof. that there was
silver there. he would negotiate with
them for their discovery. They said if
lease was granted to them, even on his
own terms, they would take him TO the
place where the mine was, in, order to
relieve his mind of all doubts They
then stated that there were four persons
connected by consequently concern
ed in the discovery Of silver ledge on
said rancho. ! Years ago, one Of this par
ty-his name I have forgotten-when q
boy, fell into the hands Of the. Conan
ches, and lived with them several years,
Fourteen years ago he, with party OF
Comanches, took silver out Of this ledge
and run it into balls. The youth fired
some Of these balls into tree close to
the mine as one of the marks to, desig.
nate the location. He made other pr
vase marks near the mouth of the ravine
forthe same purpose. This ledge was
near that Comanche trail running over
the east end of Hackenberg's rancho,
towards the head of the falls Of the Per
dinales. After this person left the Co
nanehes he frequently attempted to find
the spot, but he did not succeed until
iour years ago, by the aid of his present
associates. It was known by many that

Tho managers OF the merchants and
manufacturer. excursion to Mexico have
postponed the day for starting until the
early part of bnuary. This action is in
accordance with The urgent desire of(a
number of prominent business men Of
this city and other places who base
their request for the postponenent on
two grounds. In the first place, bust!
ness men will, during the next month,
be engaged in making up the annual
balance sheet, and would like<Jo give
the matter Of closing mp the years
transactions their Z personal Rttention.
In the second place, many seriously OBJ
iect to being in a foreign country dur
ing the llotdsys Every AMmicaulikes
to enjoy his Christmas turkey at home,
and Il is no small matter to forero the
annual social pleasures incident to the
season, It is with great reluctance that
the. managers of the expedition have
consented to the. change, on the ground
that postponements are usually disas:
trous to anything of the kind! One
thing that will prove more, satisfactory
to all parties concerned will be tho op-
portunity thus Afforded to inquire into
the true state of things IN Mexico, which
Minister Fosters letter has. called into
question. There are indications that
the Mexican government will take Of
fetal notice of the communication, it
having been sent through the state de-.
partment, and the result may be graver
than the writer probably anticipated.
As to the advice to American merchants
on matters of commerce exclusively, the
other government has nothing to do, but
it appears that the Mexican cabinet may
see fit to regard the general tone of the
letter as disoourteous to the administra-
ton of affairs in our sister republic. In
view Of the fact that the government Of
the United States has deemed it proper
to recognize the existence Of the pres
ent government of the republic of Mex
leo, the communication is Regarded as
very ill-advised by those most familiar
with existing relations between the two
countries. There is one thing agreed,
however, that the leading officials and
business men, Of Mexico will spare no
pains to Guido the grand Programme
determined upon for the reception of
the excutsionists The precise date
that the steamer will leave Galveston
will be announced in q few days. 1t

After the darkness was passed, several
persons travelled about to gather all pos
sible information concerning this mem
orable day, and DR.. Tenny wrote an ac-
count of what he learned on journey
from the East to Pennsylvania. He
says the deepest darkness was in Essex
county, Massachusetts,, the lower part
of Few Hampshire, and the eastern
portion Of Maine (where my grand
mother ived). In Rhode Island and
Connecticut it was not so great; in New
Jersey peculiar clouds were observed,
but the darkness was not so uncommon.
and in the lower parts of Pennsylvania
nothing unusual was observed. M
t,extended as far north as the Ameri-
can settlements and westward to Alba
nv, but its exact limits could not be
ascertained. .5oe'T. h.o ,yil fmoa3 4
lin Boston the darkness continued
fourteen or fifteen hours, varying in
duration at other places 'fulsY 4
As it was impossible to attribute the
darkness, to an eclipse, the wise people
formed many theories concerning it;
being convinced that it was due to- inn
mense fires in the woods, winds blowing
in opposite directions, and to thu condi-
ton of the yapors; but Herschel says:

she sent him word she could not do that;
