there are,"--of which, in poor Wunsch's fine bit
of fighting, last Year, we heard mention. Let readers keep mind of them.

The Hill Siptitz, with this ROHRGRABEN at the southern basis of it,
makes a very main figure in the Battle now imminent. Siptitz Height
is, in fact, Daun's Camp; where he stands intrenched to the utmost,
repeatedly changing his position, the better to sustain Friedrich's
expected attacks. It is a blunt broad-backed Elevation, mostly in
vineyard, perhaps on the average 200 feet above the general level, and
of five or six square miles in area: length, east to west, from Grosswig
neighborhood to the environs of Torgau, may be about three miles;
breadth, south to north, from the Siptitz to the Zinna neighborhoods,
above half that distance. The Height is steepish on the southern side,
all along to the southwest angle (which was Daun's left flank in the
great Action coming), but swells up with easier ascent on the west,
earth and other sides. Let the reader try for some conception of its
environment and it, as the floor or arena of a great transaction this
day.

Daun stands fronting southward along these Siptitz Heights, looking
towards Schilda and his dangerous neighbor; heights, woods, ponds and
inaccessibilities environing his Position and him. One of the strongest
positions imaginable; which, under Prince Henri, proved inexpugnable
enough to some of us. A position not to be attacked on that southern
front, nor on either of its flanks:--where can it be attacked?
Impregnable, under Prince Henri in far inferior force: how will you take
it from Daun in decidedly superior? A position not to be attacked at
all, most military men would say;--though One military man, in his
extreme necessity, must and will find a way into it.

One fault, the unique military man, intensely pondering, discovers that
it has: it is too small for Daun; not area enough for manoeuvring 65,000
men in it; who will get into confusion if properly dealt with. A most
comfortable light-flash, the EUREKA of this terrible problem. "We will
attack it on rear and on front simultaneously; that is the way to handle
it!" Yes; simultaneously, though that is difficult, say military judges;
perhaps to Prussians it may be possible. It is the opinion of military
judges who have studied the matter, that Friedrich's plan, could it have
been perfectly executed, might have got not only victory from Daun,
but was capable to fling his big Army and him pe
