April 2. Captain Schmidt, of company M, Fourteenth New York cavalry, while scouting near Pensacola, Florida, with thirty of his men, came upon a party of fifty rebels belonging to the Seventh Alabama cavalry, under command of Major Randolph, C.

the French territory to be evacuated. The campaign of 1794 began badly, as has already been said; it was the force of circumstances which led to the strategical movement of the army of the Moselle upon the Sambre, and not a premeditated plan; for the rest this movement decided the success at Fleurus and the conquest of Belgium. In 1795, the French committed such great faults, that they were imputed to treason; the Austrians, on the contrary, better directed, by Clairfayt, Charteler and Schmidt, than by Mack and the Prince of Coburg, proved that they had some conception of strategy. Every one knows that the Arch-Duke triumphed in 1796, over Jourdan and Moreau, by a single march, which was the application of interior lines. Until then the French armies had embraced great fronts, either more easily to obtain provisions, or that their generals imagined they were doing well in putting all their divisions in line, leaving to their chiefs the care of disposing of them for combat a

When it is remembered that there were six large depots, all engaged in handling the mounts and remounts of the great Federal armies, and that the depots at Giesboro and St. Louis comprised but a part of this complex system of administration and supply, the tremendous responsibilities imposed upon the Cavalry Bureau of the Federal War Department may be appreciated and understood. An honor man of the regulars First-Sergeant Conrad Schmidt of the Second United States Cavalry--a fine type of the regular trooper. He was decorated for galloping to the assistance of his captain, whose horse had been killed in a charge, mounting the officer behind him under fire and riding off to safety, although his own horse had been wounded in five places. This was at the Opequon, September 19, 1864.

yself have brought it about that in the German-Prussian army nothing concerning the civil war in America is so in fashion as accounts of the deeds of Southrons. Sherman and Grant, the pets of ten years ago, are forgotten, and Lee, Jackson and Stuart are now the favorite heroes of our officers. Your friends will be interested by the statement that many of the Southern organizations have been a pattern for ours. For the first time the cavalry has studied Stuart's movements, and General Von Schmidt, the regenerator of our cavalry tactics, has told me that Stuart was the model cavalry leader of this century, and has questioned me very often about his mode of fighting. It will doubtless be of interest to you to know what parts of your Historical Papers I have translated, and commended to our German armies. Among them are the following: General Early's Relative strength of the Confederate and Federal armies. McCarthy's Detailed Minutiae of soldier life. Stuart's Repo

unal was under the necessity of employing a draftsman to draw a plan for a machine, and this plan was carried out by one Schmidt, a piano forte maker. When the Assembly had adopted the plan of Louis, Roederer applied to one Guidon, who had a contrapate. Roederer and Guidon, not being able to agree about the price, the former dropped the negotiation, and engaged Schmidt, the Strasburgh notable, for 960 francs, ($190.) When it was finished, Roederer discovered that he had been cheated, and objected to paying more than 350 francs, about $70. He told Schmidt, by way of satisfying him, that he should have the contract for eighty-three instruments, corresponding with the number of departments into which France was then divided. --SchmidtSchmidt, however, would not be put off in this way. He threatened to take out a patent for his machine, but four days after he made this threat came on the 10th of August, and complete anarchy ensued, so that all right of property — even that in the invent
