Artillery in the Future.

FROM the Academy.
As the range of guns in the field is augmented
battles will more than ever be prepared by can
non, batteries will open fire at the distance of
miles, and the adversaries' batteries must, at
least, be weakened before infantry can venture
to advance, except under very peculiar circum-
stances. The power of modern cannon is so
tremendous that, when hostile batteries come
into conflict at anything like reasonably near
distances-viz, from ], 800 to $500 yards-the
duel can scarcely last long. We shall see no
cannonades like that directed against La Have
Sainte, which lasted for hours, and the
victory will belong to the artillery chiefs,
who, with anything like an equality of
force, lay their guns best, take most ac-
curate aim, avoid salvoes and wild dis
charges, take care that their men are not
hurried, and, above all, can entilade their
enemy--a process now more than ever destruc-
tive. For the reasons to which we have re-
ferred before the system of artillery reserves
should be given up as completely obsolete, no
efforts should be spared to bring forward
every available gun as quickly as possible, and
the organization of the three arms should be so
arranged as to secure this object the pieces
and their trains being always kept in close con-
tact with the rest of the army, and capable of
rapid movement to the front. For the rest,
artillery should always be ready and equal to
contend in the field with infantry; it should
consider itself a more powerful arm in any,
thing like an equal struggle, and once it has
been placed in its true position it should. il
possible, never fall back. At the same time in
our judgment at least, the artillery, owing to
the vast spaces of battle-felds in modern war
may on many occasions be greatly imperiled.
