The French Soldiery.
--Maj. R. S. Garnett, U. S. A., of Virginia, who was sent by the U. S. Government to Europe, to observe the artillery improvements going on in the services of the different Powers, visited, a few months since, the "cannon depots" of Paris, and saw the Frenchmen go through their evolutions. He says that their proficiency in gunning is greater than that of the English. "The French are quick, correct, intelligent, and careful of their pieces, and make admirable shots."
