[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.

Duvisboro, Gu., Oct. 13, 1869. 4l-tf 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. m THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN BATES OF ADVERTISING. $1.00 1.75 3.00 3.50 4.00 0.00 10.00 20.00 $1,75 3.75 4.00 5.50 7.00 8.50 $2,50 4.00 5.00 7,50 9.60 12.00 15.00 20,00 30.00140.00 $3.25 5.00 7.00 9.00 12.00 15.00 25.00 50,00) 70.00 $5,00 $7.20 9.00 12.00 18.00 20.00 25.00 45.00 $12.00 18.00 ■M 12.00 16.00 25.00 28.00 34.6J 60,001 go.do SO, jwi 120.00 40.00 50.00 $20.(0 30.00 40.00 50.00 60.00 «.oe 120.00 150.00 Book and Job work, of all kinds, PROMPTLY AND NEATLY EXECUTED AT THIS OFFICE. morning the chime on one -hill shall answer to the chime on another around the world’s circumference; and the voice of prayer and the song of praise, like the voice of a universal holocaust shall ascend to heaven.

ROGERS, Act’g Master of Transportation. June 2, 1869. 22-ly 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 Paris ti Naples. 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- a „., ,v,« death of thousands affecting millions upon millions more of innocent toilers, in order that ruthless personal ambi tion and the Moloch of millitary pride, 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 tion is at band. .Reverently we hear a 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 row the words of the prophet of old— ‘Prepare the way; take np the stum bling block out of the way of my peo- ple.’ This morning, while these lines .are read, at Paris, Madrid, Florence, Koine, Vienna, ay, even Berlin and the father cities of the North, the great giound- swell of the popular ocean beats high and heavily against the barriers that 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.” Why is an infant like a diamond ? Because it is <y “dear little thing.” 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 ers of Notre Dame to every spire be tween Hamburg and Palermo, amid the acclamations of a dozen nationali ties shouting, in a hundred dialects, l Lat ’etumme gahn / t (‘Let it go round!’ with justice, humanity, Christian for bearance and moderation for its guides and true liberty for its resplendent star, until civilization shall mean something far loftier and more blessed than the heightened capacity to inflict universal woe, and men shall be made rulers, not through intellect alone, but only through tbe greatness of their love to. God and to their fellow man. N. Y. Herald of 18Ak. 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. — Yifksburg Hearld. Good place for matches.—Sulphur spirngs. . T—TT'VV •
