CORRESPONDENCE.

CoRREsi'ONDhNCE has accumulated rapidly on tho file during tho last few days. If writers would only condense their thoughts there would bo a better chance of their communications gaining publicity. Military Tories. - Tho prevailing war .over finds expression in a host of communi cations upon various military subjects, "Ono who Served under Bim" joins with "Veritas," and "P." in testifying to the officer-like qualities of Colonel Lyon, his capacity as a commander nnd military mag istrate ,and his hearty consideration for the men under his command. He thinks the Volunteers are to be congratulated upon securing suoh a well-tried veteran as their commanding officer. ''Militiaman" thinks the least the Go vernment can do if thoy impose military duty upon tho citizens is to clothe them docontly; or if they will not do that, let them hand over the monoy thoy intend .ponding in moleskins and allow them to supplement it. "Anchor" is dissatisfied with tho defen sive works. He thinks our military engin eers should take a lesson from the old Maori pahs which resisted the assaults of tho British troops so long. He also thinks that two steamers should be en gaged aa rams, it having been proved that such a vessel as tho Clansman or one of the Union boats could ram and sink any Russian cruiser that is likely to be sent against us. He believes tho Russians would slaughter w men and children, and recom mends that a place of refuge inland should be provided for them. "C.P."saysmi_UU_ (.l-Ues, as compulsory service has been required in England for the last half-century, and ho bolieves it is not neoded hero. The proposed uniform, how ever, he regards as adding insult to injury, and mentions that when the Volunteer movement started in England, a company ho was connected with adopted a very ser viceable grey, without distinguishable mili tary marks, which looked well, and that such a uniform, mado of New Zealand tweed, could bo furnished at a very moderate price here. " Perambulator" considers the present force of somo 500 men, to be increased to 1,000, as wholly inadequate to oppose the unscrupulous, ruthless, or Komoioffian in vaders. They might, he thinks, have done if well drilled and skilled in tho _ use of big guns and Martini Henri rifles. He continues; —"I be lieve, however, that our men could bo as easily converted into real soldiers in every sense of the word, and second to none in the world, if thoir officers only took pains in making them efficient in the use of the rifle nnd other weapons employed in self-defence, and also if our merchants and the many wealthy public companies en couraged them aa they should feel it their bounden duty to do, in the shape of offering big and handsome prizes for emulative com petition, not only for regularity at drill, but for real and best efficiency in potting obiects at different distances both with large and small arms. Our men want encouragement only to be able to defend our province against any foe daring to enter our harbour. Are the officers, from the highest to the lowest, doing anything to improve the efficiency of the Volunteers ? Nothing that I hear of. Are the Volunteers, collectively or individually, exerting themselves at the Butts or elsewhere to make themselves better acquainted with those excellent weapons! The devil a thing are they doing either; only with a rare exception— known by the jing-ping of a few shots In early morning heard at the Mount Eden Butts. Should an enemy force its way into our harbour from the uselessnees of our Volunteers, 'tis to bo hoped, should any be bayonetted, that the officers will feel the cold steel first, from having placed the foul for hitherto playing only at soldiers. Aftor the gallant officers have been laid low, the banks should be plunged; into institutions paying large dividends and having valuable property to protect, who, doing nothing to promote efficiency in Volunteers, deserve to be made pay up." "A Hobson " also writes on the subject of drilling the young recruits. He thinks : "If the companies could .pare one officor to instruct them (the recruits) for an hour in the Drill shed on Saturday they would Boon be able to join the main body. "Awkward Squad hopes that recent cable news will not be taken as narrating a standstill in the defence hue. He thinks tbo Government would be acting wisely in calling the Militia at once, and getting them drilled well. The result would be obvious. The men would know their officers, and the officers their men. If tho whole of the first-class Militia be considered too large a body, let the good shots only bo selected. This could easily be done. No man would object to the title of a "crack " shot, although perhaps he might not like tho idea of moleskins and bluchers. Christians and War We have three letters on this subject. R. G. Kendall deprecates the sneers levelled, againßt Christians for taking part in volunteering for our national defence. He says, " Chris tians are just as much men as non-profess ing folk. They have a right to live and possess property, aDd the common law of tho land, natural law, Christianity and common sense give them the right to pro tect both. Had the Christians of Auck land either sat idly by and done nothing in co-operating for defence with their fellow citizens, or had they as a body op posed all measures for defence, would there not have been strong condemnation ex pressed by their fellow citizens, and pos sibly considerable taunting at their ' cowardice' and' want of patriotism' would have been indulgod in ? It is not right for Christians (it is equally wrong for anybody else) to engage in, or further, a war of aggression, and when they do bo they are to be condemned. But this Russian war is no war of aggression. It is purely one of defence. Again and again has Russia proved false, and it were not difficult to write columns illustrative of this. This falßity renderß her unfit to_ be trusted, and unworthy of belief. Again, Russia is a semi-barbarous power. She will not li.teii to humanity or. to' reason. Russia wunle India, and her policy in her diplomacy ie of tho "win, tie or wrangle " sort. With such an opponent what can we do? Are we, because we, as a nation, are Christians, to let her as sume rule, and impose her cruel and rigorous sway aver nations we have promised to pro tect, and who look to us for that protection ? Are we to "turn the Mber cheek " (as we '

are sneeringly bid by our ____¥*¥% Writers] when ..„ ch turni-g wtUnS* 0. .« a slap in our face (we haveffittfJ* than once), but will be a wron? l do nees, and a crime? DeeiH_l.
