What a French Soldier Carries.
[Fromtliw London Telegraph.]
Tiie whole ol liie Imperial Guard has
now left Parts. The" last regiment
1 that left—the Fourth Yoltigeurs—were
f marched-np to La Villete this . afier-
j noon. Tne weather was intensely hot:
i the sun converted the long avenues to
which King. Uausmann has given his
name into a perfect oven, and ihe march
must have proved very trying. Nev
ertheless the men were picked men,
very ri-If.-rent from .-ome of the line
i(attain ns which went off last week,
and carried chee fully and with an
elastic step the ' enormous load with
which they were lac'en.
When, will generals men in authori
ty take the advice given so many years
a^o by Damorieierc, more lately by
TrpcJfU, and aeted on, I believe,, by
Havelock in India, and ‘Stonewall,’
Jackson in the American war? This
advice, which is founded on experience
of reai warfare, was to the effect that
to retain his efficiency as a fighting man
the infantry soldier’s ‘impediments’
should be reduced to a minimum, and
that the weight he has to carry should
be reduced by two-thirds at the very-
least.. Marshal Niel did his very best
to effect tli is by organizing a regiment
al train consisting of one^borse two-
wheel v. agos, four of which were 'o be
attached to each company. But he
died before the organization of this
‘regimental’ train could be completed,
und the number of these carts is so in
s’gnficant that only the Imperial Guard
has had about a dozen distributed to
each regiment, and they are used for
the purpose of carrying spare ammuni
tion only
The result is, that though the foot
soldiers has a much lighter weapon in
the Chassepot than in the old muzzle-
loader, lie still has to carry on his back
atnl idiouldersa weight of about seven
ty pounds French—that tis,upwards of
one-third of tiie regulation weight car
ried byasumpter mule. One of these
Vohigeurs, whom I treated to a glass
f l eer, supplied me with details of

his ‘pack.’ First, there is Chas epot.
j seven and a half pounds ; the sworffi
bayonet and scabbard, three pounds;
ten pounds of ammunition, distributed
partiy in two pouches and partly in his
knap-sack ; a pair of shoes, a four-
pound loaf, of bread;a canvas bag slung
over tne left shouldr, and containing
any »»r*Mitiir*» r-nrnfom tire man mav
rove procured, it was era ply in many
cases, bat my friend carried in it a
pound of tobacco, some cigars, a flask
of brandy, a good sized veal and ham
pie, and a string cf cervelas a fail.
Over the knapsack—first, a great
coat; secondly, a blanket; tkiidiy, his
I sha r e of the canvas for the tente d’abri,
| and sticks for the same; and fourthly,
j a huge camp kettle. Inside the knap-
| sack he had a second pair of trousers,
comb, blushes, needles, thread buttons,
a pair of gloves, a couple of pairs of
socks, and three shirts; in addition, a
flask capable of containing about a
quart of liquid is flung over the right
shoulder. A long march with sucti a
weight must incapacitate all but the
very strongest men; and it is only too
easy to understand how it happens that
knapsacksandimpediments areinvaria-
bly dropped the moment the first shot
is fired. In the French army the prac
tice is generally to order the men to lay
down their knapsacks on going into
action, but the stamina of the men has
been tried to the uttermost before they
get up to the front by the carrying of
such monstrous loads. Picked men
may stand if, but it is sufficient to look
at an average regiment of the line af
ter a few miles’ marching to form an
opinion of this vicious system of over
loading, for the maintenance of which
that sturdy old veteran, ‘General Rou
tine,’ is alone to blame.
The Pope Should take Action
Immediately.
We have again and again urged the
importance, the absolute necessary to
united action on the part of the people,
without respect to party differences, ra
order to defeat the schemes which have
been laid by the Governor and his
adherents to rob them of their rights.
Again we urge it as a matter of sclf-
presorvation. The time is short, and
prompt action is demanded by -the nee
essities of the hour, Some Democrat
ic papers, from what motives we will
not say, have fiercely assailed us for
doing so. But, confident that we are
right, we still say it, as the most im
portant duty of the times, for every
put; lot to ley aside party prejudice, and
unite with ail good and true citizens,
regardless of party names, to save the
country from calamity almost as much
to be dreaded as civil war. Meetings
all over the country should be held,
and moderate, prudent men settle to
unite in a mass meeting in Atlanta on
the time indicated. Hesitation and de
lay may breed mischief. . In all such
meetings let moderation and prudence
guide. It is no time for gasconade and
intemperate language. Foolish, thought
less people, who never mean what they
say, may threaten resistence. Such
ia'k may do harm, though never-
ineant as anything but to play off on
the feelings of the multitude. We
deprecate all such. Il ever there was
a time for calm, wise, thoughtful men
to give counsel, now is the time; if
ever there was a time when such coun
sel should le heeded,* that time is
now. The danger is greater than many
persons are aware. ‘Let us have peace,’
and in order to have it, let us be
guided by the counsel of the wise and
prudent. Let us have the mass meet
ing as soon as possible, composed of the
good and true men of all parties.
There is but a single object to accom
plish by such a meeting—the union of
all the people in a consolidated effort to
save our’Constitution, and our rights
as voters^from being trampled in the
dust. \V ill the people take warning
in time, and act decisively ?—True
Georgian.

Mortality and Uot Weather.—
Tiie Philadelphia Age says the deaths
in that city last week were over six
hundred. The Age says it is a start
ling fact. There is no prevailing epi
demic, and yet the monality is truly
alarming. Wbat is the cause of the
increase of death? The exhaustive
i haracter of the weather. Day and
night the system is subject to a heavy
drain of the life principle. There is no
release from the inroads made in this
direction. In the sun life is parched
and shrivelled by the beat; in theshade
the air seems like a blast from a furnace.
Under such a combination of circum
stances it is no wonder men and women
succumb and pass away, with little, if
any warning. The mortuary record
speaks trumpet-tongued in Favor of
care, prudence, temperance, and clean
liness on the part of all classes of oar
citizens.
Seasonable Advice.
The heat especially out of theshade
is intense. Ilow to avoid prostration
by such weather is trite, but if tiie tel
ling! f an oid story saves the life or mit
igates the suffering of one individual,
it is worth while to tel! it. Therefore
we say ttiu 1 , lui,
weather prevails, d-> uot be in a hurry
about anything, but wa k, eat drink
slowly. Keep in theshade as much as
possible. Patronize icewater sparing
ly, likewise animal food. Subsist up
on the rich, ripe, sound fruits of the
season. Bathe with moderation do not
remain in the waier longer than ten
minu’es. Wear light clothing; we
mean light in weight, but maintain
worsted or flannel uudergarments. Do
notge.angry; anger is a dangerous
passion when the mercury has risen
above 90 degrees. Ho not fret. Avoid
worry and anxiety. Sleep at least
eight hours out of every twenty-four,
and let the hours for sleep be selected
from the early part of the night.
Above all, avoid intoxicating bever
ages. They are no use at this season,
even when swallowed temperately;
they are damaging in the extreme, if
taken in extremly warm weather im-
moderatley. A couple of drinks of
ardent spirits will predispose anybody,
the hard working man espeoiaily, to
sun-stroke, apoplexy or syncope. Be
temperate in all things, good-natured
chaste, and fear not.
Profanity.—^Dne of the most oom-
The Great Popular Groundswell
in Europe.
Months ago we again and againeall.
ed the attention to the great and in
cessant military movements that were
taking place in Prussia, to her rapid
armament of Wilheimshafen and her
other northern seaports, and to the agi-
tatiou that seem to bespreading amon^
the people not only cf Germany, but
of France, Italy and Spain. Then
came the Spanish insurrections in Val»
encia and elsewhere, the Italian out
breaks at Milan, Padua, & a., and the
tremendous scenes that accompanied
the progesa and the declaration of the
plebiscitum in the French empire. But
these disturbances were, one by one,
surpressed, and the smug authorities
w ho take politics, staternauship, strategy
and international law by inhalation,
probably, without knowing A from
izzard about them, said in England and
America that things were ‘all right.’
But in spite of this dictum, given with
all that overweeningpositiveness which
is the peculiar and inseparable accom
paniment of the densest ignorance, trade
strikes became more numerous. than
ever, and the workingmen, associated
in powerful bodies and co-operating all
over Europe without regard to differ
ence of nationality, stepping farther
and farther to the front, until at last
they occupied the entire foreground,
■Inst before the Spanish throne question
monopolized the attention of Europe r11
eyes were turned upon the investigation
in progress at Paris concerning the so-
styled ‘International Society of Work
ingmen.’ Then, like successiVe thnnder
claps following close upon each other,
cams the French quarrel with,Prussia,
the declaration or war, tho terrible
overthrow of the French armies and
the revelation of a vast revolutionary
movement beneath the surface from

We now have the scene suddenly
revealed amid the smoke and din of
contending empires, by the lurid light
of deadly arailery. The desolated
firesides; the heaped up slain; the corn
left ungathered in the fields; the forced
contributions of money and blood; the
crowded hospitals; the blood, the hun-

death of thousands affecting millions
upon millions more of innocent toilers,
in order that ruthless personal ambi

may slake their infernal thirst for what
they dare misname ‘glory,, have filled
the cup of bitterness to overflowing.
Patience among the people has had its
perfect work and tho hour of rectifica

voice risiDg far above the roar of those
awful battle fields in France, where so
much manlinessand valor are cut down
like weeds—a voice that seems to bor

This morning, while these lines .are

A paper giver the following reply to
a correspondent;
‘There is no stated rule for writing
love-letters. You should write on
foolscap paper, and bear on as soft as
you can, using words of such burhing
love that they will sizzle on the point
of the pen. It is also advisable to
sling in a bunch of pathos occasionally,
such as ‘Dearest Augustus, I love you
with a love larger than an elephant’s;
I flunk of you every day, and, by-and,
by, when the days grow longer, shall
think of you twice a day.’. It is also
well to put an iqk blot in jhe corner,
with the observation) ‘Darling, I kissed
this spot,’ or ‘I have a sigh in this vi
cinity.”

mon, and yet a most disgusting vice of
the day, is the use of profane language.
The Good Book says:
“What comes out of the mouth de-
fileth man.” Then some men are ter
ribly defiled within. Some love to
hear themselves talk, and are yet so
barren of ideas that they try to render
emphatic their common-place utterance
by senseless oaths in every seuteffee
they utter. Few profane swearers
have an idea of the terrible nature of
their sin, or of its effects upon them
selves. If the consequences of this
terrible vice only resulted in the in
tense disgust of those who are unwill
ingly forced to hear it, the sin would
not be so dangerous; but when the in
fluence of the swearer’s oaths is con
sidered, in the effect of this hearthard
sin of blasphemy upon the
swearer himself, tho matter becomes
of terrible importance and deeply al
arming. In the assumption of the
power of God, in damning his own
soul, the swearer commits the sin of
blasphemy, the most blighting to the
soul of any of the sins prescribed in
the word of God. From a moral and
social point of view, it is a low, vul
gar, and senseless habit, that no one
with a particle of respect for himself
or others should engage in.—Dr. .Witt.
The Money Wasfed in War,—
Give me, says Stebbins, the money
wasted in war, and! will purchase eve
ry foot of land on the globe. I will
clothe every madwoman and child, in
the attire that kings and queens might
be proud,, of. I will build a school
house upon every hill side, over
the-habitable earth. I will supply
that school-house with a complete
teacher: I will build an academy in
every State, and fill it with able pro
fessors; I-will crown every bill with a
church consecrated to the promulgation
of the gospel of peace; I will support
in its pulpit &Q able teacher of ngbt-
eousnass, so that, on every Sabbath
have so long restrained it. The cur
rents set in from all quarters towards
the one centre from which the tocsin
has so often sounded out over listening
Europe before. The international
tricolor is ready to leap from the tow

tween Hamburg and Palermo, amid
the acclamations of a dozen nationali
ties shouting, in a hundred dialects,

with justice, humanity, Christian for
bearance and moderation for its guides
and true liberty for its resplendent star,

heightened capacity to inflict universal

not through intellect alone, but only
through tbe greatness of their love to.

A Romantic Incident of the
War.—In the blooming, beautiful,
balmy May of 1863, one of those
dread battlestained years never to be
forgotten, Gen. Tilgbam fell, sbotdead.
at tbe battle of Champion Hill, gallant-
ly struggling in defence- of cherished,
principles. His noble life ebbed away
upon tbe spot were he fell and tbe,^i
earth drank his blood* with greedy
thirstiness. But upon that immediate
spot grew a, peach tree that reached
maturity while its roots steeped them
selves in the martyr’s blood. Singular
to, relate, the leaves and fruit of this
tree are a blood red color. The tree
was transplanted and is now in tbe or
chard of Dr. John L. Hebron, of this
county. The propagations form the
same peculiar color.—There is certain*
ly something remarkable about this.
We have seen tbe leaves; - and must
confess that they do look and even (to
us) smell of blood. The -feet- can be
witnessed by those taking the trouble.
