It was soon found that Macpherson had galucd the Kohtas Koh, and thst Tytler had come down to the village in the Pass behiud Alt Musjid.

The auxiety that the promised sdystce shotild take place was gencral, but no one knew whether or 0o the Ameer had sent in his sub- mission, Toward evening the news spread that the General had received n telcgram in ciphier from the Viceroy, and all sorts of roports and @uesscs 2a to the nature of its_contents were current through the camp.

Howover, the first fort s boen taken, and the first escrifice of buman life made. Inview of theso circum- stances, It may be interesting to place beforo the resders of Tus Tninuxs a few statfstics by which they exn estimate closely the relative strength of toe armies—the English and that of Afghanistan—now facing one another. So far from the Ameer's troovs being a FaiataMan rab- ble,—a8 some of the Tory papers assert,—I think 1t can carlly be shown that shat Orlental monarch really has an army, and & serviceable one, too, tn evory sonse of “the word. Heis not mnother Theodore of Abyssinin; but 8hero All_has avalled limself of tha appliances of modern warfare to an extent little dreamt of. It_uppears that Yakoob Khan, the son and the ablest General the Ameer Shere Alf ever had,— now 1yIngZ in chalns,—was at one time the best !m-me his father had, and, in fact, gained for nim the throne which he had lost during the contest which lasted from 1863 Lo 1807, Yakoob was the Governor of Herat. Whilsthers, he soont his lefsare hours in forming a_very com- pact army of between 14,000 and 16,000 strong, thoroughly trained and cquipped. It was chief- Iy comnosed of infantry and cayairy. Theso two branches were out of sli proportion to the I\rmlelx. However, with that army., when Bhoro Ail, nbout 1807, was almost driven des- rate and ran the risk of loslng hts throne, ‘akoob stepped In, overturned his chiel enemy, and placed his father securely upon the roynl seat. ‘The fonts of the sou opened the eyes of tha father, who forthwith proceeded to establish such a force as shiould fnsure him against the pertls he bad passed through. Hin first step was the Issuance of a species of conseription. Tothisthe natives objected; but, as the *“survival of the fistest ™ phiysicallv is & duminant_doctrlve o those lands, they nad to subniit, The fufantry was aivided inio somo sixty regiments of the linc, eact: regiment nuin- bering 650 men; while the cavalry were told off in sixteen regiments of loar troops each, 100 sabren to the troop.

Inthe matter of pass-tightine, thess hill-men will ba extremely useful to the Ameer, —Then the cavalry are suppurted br the nanly horsemen of Alghan, tinely mouoted on Cabulee stceds. ‘They are formed into frrogular squadrons, num- bering over 8.000 sabres. \When 1t is sald that these troopa are well uniformed and bighly dis- ciplined; that thelr courage is undentable; that the Infantry are armed with the Enileld and the Martint-Henry rifle, and the cavalry with Arin- strong guns, it will l)emn taking into consider- ation theterriblecountry, dul. tho Britlsh have s pretty big clephant on thelr hauds.
