The Preesian army, on a war footing as wi ®t 600.000 men, while there was still a the Inst resort about 100,000 more. These Troops constitute, it must be owned, A most formidable array, bat we find in an official publication itary establishments to a « of 40,000 men. It was impossible to contradict the Em- perer, and not easy, as might be thought, to deceive him; but the device was accomplished by Scharnhorst, the War Minister of the time, who not only evaded the decree of Napoleon, but laid the foundations of that military strength which bas just been displayed in a career of unexampled triumph. Scanraheret months together, but resembled the waters of alake which receives a river at one end and discharges it at the other. As soon asa recruit was thoroughly drilled, and had be- come an effective soldier, he was dismissed to col ofa nation ofsoldiers. For every soldier in the ranks there were five as good as he in the body of the people, all ready, at the first call of the trumpet to re-enter the line of the army. When, therefore, seven years after her defeat, Prussia once more rose, a ferce of two huudred thousand men, admirably disciplined, appeared in the place of an army which N. - leon believed ne bad cut down toa fifth of number. The Prussians were not ungrateful to their beuefactor. To this day the statue of Scharnhorst in white marble stands by the side ofthe guard house in the great - fare Berlin—a record of military ity, @s well &s nauonal fame. “The secret, then, of the Prassian strength consists in this, that the reserve force is prac- tucally as good as nd force im the field. a Tegular army mere! resents a portion o! the entire army on duty the time. The re- serves aresimply not on duty, but just as competent for duty if their services were required. By this light let us examine our own reserves. We have already seen that. as far as numbers go, they are not mferior to the Prussian reserves, and though some abate- ment must be made on this score for the for- eign and colored troops included in the Im- peria] muster rolls, the Tes will stall be sat- isfactory. In British militia, British volun- teers, British yeomanry and British reserves generally, we bave a force of between three hundred thousand and four hundrea thousand men actually within the limits of these isles There is certainly, at first sight, no reason why this force should not be made as effective as the Landwebr or Landsturm of Prussia. A Prussian soldier is made by aservice of five’years. commencing at the age of 21. But of this short term of ser- vice one-haif only 1s passed in the regular army, the other half being spent in the army ofteserve. No doubt, this is more training, OF, &t APy rate, more effective training, than is given to our militia; but if the Prussian Land- T could, at a few weeks’ notice, fight their aT, from their own country to the very walis of Vienna, the Britieh militia should surely be as competent for the less trying work of a bome campaign. It is, in short, quite evident from the German war, that a soldier can be made in a much sborter time, and bya much easier process than is generally supposed. Two years and @ balf of consecutive duty made the men who won the battle of Sodows against an army which boasted with reason of ite pro- fessional discipline and experience.” A Reminiscence of the War. A Richmond correspondent of the New York Times tells a curious 5! of the manner in which our Government, during the closing days of the rebellion, came into possession of the testimony of General Lee before a com- mittee of the Rebel Congress, which was never reported to the Houses, unless in eecret session . The writer states that an agent of our Govern- ment was hidden in a closet of the room where Lee testified. and took verbatim notes of the priceless information which fell from his lips, showing the utter hopelessness of the Rebel cBhuse. The remainder of the story may be told in the langaage of the correspondent:— “A second rery walked leisurely the streets of Richmond with it, until upon the environs he encountered one of the com- mon country carts of this section proceeding with the half of a newly killed beef. toward the Rebel lines in Butler's front. No comma- mication that the most lynx-eyed could per- ceive passed between the man and the cart, but the former gradually changed his direc- fon, and was soon walking back in the direc- tion be had come. The cart went on, reached and passed through the Rebel camps without molestation, and reached the pickets, where it halted, as a matter of course. The beef was des'ined for the house of a planter just beyond the Rebel lines, and in plain sight of their out- Posts, and about equi-distant between them and our own outpost. These explanations made, and a careless search of the cart made by the Rebel sentry, that is, a look into it, the cart proceeded on its way. «Just as we neared the house a small party oftour cavalry made a dash at it, and to the utter surprise of the Rebel picket, who saw the whole affair, our men — hovered a moment around the cari, then galloped back with one more man than they came with, leaving the cartand beef, and driver and mule pehind them.
