the French Movements—ITHahonV
' March.
IioXDOX, August 45.—The Tribane
special correspondent from Rheims, on
Tuesday, sends very important and bite
news of the French movements, which
are not allowed to be telegraphed. Yes
terday evening there were about one hun
dred and fifty thousand troops in and
aboutRheims under McMahon.
Daring the night they began, to move
towards Ardennes and are still moving in
that direction. By noon this place, will
be entirely evacuated. They take the
road to Bethel and Mezieres, but even
the officers do not know how far they
will go in that direction. If what is be
lieved here about Bazaine be true, the
two armies will soon be united.
Bazaine is reported at headquarters to
have said that he could beat the enemy
on the 20th, but if be waited until the
25th he could annihilate [them. This
afternoon the march of troops which be
gan last evening continues. Artillery,
infantry .and cavalry are pouring unin
terruptedly through town. It is rain ng
hard to-day. I compute that nearly two
hundred thousand men in all have pass
ed. There is no longer a doubt about
the direction of the movement. From
the officers of the baggage and supply
train I learn that they have orders to go
direct to Montmedy. Two baggagemen,
who had tried to get toward Verdun, had
been stopped by the Uhlans, and. all re
ports agree that every road thither is
picketed by the Prussians.
Reorganization is proceeding with the
utmost dispatch. For example, a sup
ply train of five hundred wagons, and
fully equipped, was organized and reach
ed Rheims from Verdun in three days.
High officers here are positive that a
part of Bazaine’s forces aro between Briey
and Etain. Our own movements from
Rheims to join him are made with the
utmost secrecy.
The second army of reserves, now
forming near Chalons, and composed of
old soldiers, will reach three hundred
and fifty thousand men.
The Emperor will command the Impe
rial Guard in person.
Messrs. Redwine &. Fox, of Atlan

graceful riders amongst the young ladies
of Americus, and we would be much
pleased to learn that one of them had se
cured this prize. Won’t some of them
contend for it ?

Stt' The evil spirits kept in the drink

dollars. They also carried off cigars and
other articles the value of which has not
been ascertained.
This, we think, will prove to be anoth-
of those mysterious affairs which

Too Late for Explanation—A Quiet
Han Disposing of an Insult.
Lord Mark Kerr, who distinguished
himself at the battle of Fontenoy, was
a good but eccentric officer and a ter-
aible duelist His Debut was remarka
ble. He was a lad of slight, effeminate
), apparently void of spirit. His
Marquis of Lothian, when he
brought him to. London to join his regi
ment—tho Coldstream Guards-reqnested
the Colonel, who was his particular friend
to watch him to see that he submitted to
improper liberties, and to instruct him
the way he should do, in case he had
the misfortune to be insulted.
Those were tho days of hard drinking,
prodigious swearing,” and brutal man
ners. This pacific young scion of nobil
ity soon became a butt at mess, a stop-
g to bang practical jokes on, until at
it a captain of a year’s standing threw
a glass of wine in his face. He still said
nothing, but wiped his face with his
handkerchief, and took no further notice
of the insult he bad received,
The Colonel thought it was high time
to interfere, and invite him to breakfast,
tete-a-tete, on the following morning at 9
o’clock. Lord Mark arrived punctually,
ate bis breakfast with perfect composure,
and spoke but little. At length the com
manding officer broke ground.
“ Lord Mark," said he, “I must speak
to you on a rather delicate subject, but,
as your father’s friend I am compelled to
waive ceremony. Captain L , yester
day morning, publicly passed an affront
on yon, which both your honor and the
credit of the regiment required you to
notice.”
“What do you think, sir, I ought to
do ?” inquired Lord Mark.
“ Call on him for an explanation,” re
joined the Coloneb
“It is, I fear, too late for that” replied
the young ensign, “I shot him at eight

PUBLIC MEETING.
At a meeting of the citizeua of the 17th
District of Sumter county, and .a portion
of the citizens of Terrell county, "met - at
Peter Faust’s, on the 16tli for the purpose
of taking some action to prevent hog
stealing in Kincbefoonee Swamp, and on
the plantations of J. M, Alston and
others adjoining. Mr. Peter Faust was
called to the chair, and Mr. Dave Cox,
requested to act as Secretary.
Mr. Faust explained the object of the
meeting. On motion of Mr. W. H.
Davison, a - committee of five were ap
pointed to draft resolutions expressive of
onr fixed determination not to. submit
to such outrage and vile imposition any
longer. .
The Committee after retiring » few
minutes returned and reported the fol
lowing resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted.
Whereas, The citizens of Sumter atid
Terrell counties, haring sustained great
losses by the Frecdmen on J. M. Alston’s
and other adjoining- plantations, killing
hogs on the creek swamp and surround
ing country, whereas in consequence of
the rongish and leagued elan among
them, we hare failed in our efforts to
have them brought to justice by the law.
Therefore be it
Resolved, 1st. That in our opinion
there are-no wild hogs in this portion of
the country, -in the swamp or on the
ridges.
2nd. That the practice of hunting
wild hogs ia a cloak ior mischief and
those hereafter engaged in it or counten
ancing the same, shall be considered as
dishonest men, and openly disturbing
the peace and harmony of the comran-
nity.
3rd. That we do not recognize the
right or claim of Judge Wylie as haring
passed from J. M. Bird, and L. B. Da
vison, to Mr. Alston, and ask for
protection, that he forbid his Freedmen
hunting hogs any more.
4th. That we do bind oarselvee not to
allow such depredations to be committed
on the community any longer, and that
we take this moons to inform the parties
engaged in such that they must stop at
once as we do not wish to resort to strin
gent means or expose them any fnrther,
and in case they do not, the most severe
means will be employed by the citizens
of Sumter nnd Terrell, against them.
5th. Depredations of any kind, mnst
and shall be stopped.
6th. That a Committee of two be ap
pointed to servo Mr. J. M. Alston, Mr.
J. W. Caldwell and Mr. J. L Jay. with a
copy of the proceedings of this meeting
and that they bo requested to read the
same to all the hands in their employ.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A rtrfing iridoh
is st am sncesUs,
besltby, and effectual
for preserving tin
hair. Faded orjnqr
hair it toon restored

Thin hair is thick*
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cued
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles aro destroyed,
or the elands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness bv this application. Instead
of foaling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and'vigorous.
Its oobaskmal cse will prevent tot hair
from turning gray or falling o8, and
consequently prevent baldness. Tree
from thoGO deleterious substances which

injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found to desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.

Editob Republican : Knowing the in
terest yon feel in all agricultural affairs,
and your desire to do anything that may
in any wise promote the fanning interest
of the countty, I drop you this note, in
regard to what may properly be
the “ Model Farm ” of this connty for the
present year. I allude to that of Mr.
John N. Hudson who resides obont four
miles South-east of this place. I visited
his place yesterday, was prepared (from
what I had heard) to tee a goad crop, but
astonished at what I saw,—his land
is naturally quite poor and very much

A Sensible Old Darkey.—The Lou:
villo Courier-Journal says:
A wise old darkey in the Southern part
of Kentucky came to his old master the
day before the lato election, and said he:
“ Mars John, I wants to vote de Demo
cratic ticket. The fact is, I think de nig
gers ought to split up anyhow. If we
r votes Democratic, the Radicals
is ungrateful, an’ then tho League
fines us five dollers an’ warns ns. If we
votes Radical, de Knklux ’ll git us sore.
I wants to dived like, so as to make it
de intrust ob boff parties to treat us kin’
an’ friendly.” That darkey is a states
man and a philoso her. His head is
emphatically “ level ”
Fisk and bis Wife.
That funny Fisk, our favorito sensation
alist, has astonished everybody, and cut
up a most unusual caper, by going to see
his. wile. The following will explain
matters:
" The Boston Trauscript says: James
Fisk, Jr., has been passing a few days
his wife’s villa, and has aired himself be
hind his wife’s four-in-hand. This estab
lishment does not confine itself to Belle-
vne avenue, but wriggles and twists
through the narrow Streets down town,
evidently with a wish to astonish the na
tives. Everybody admires the magnifi
cent horses as well. The Colonel evi
dently does not let his many cares weigh
npon hi* mind, or if he does, his looks
belie him; for he is os fat and jollylooking
as possible. Riding down Bellvne with
his wife beside him, and a Havana No. 1
his mouth, three oatridersin gorgeous
livery, lour fleet horses, one hundred
monograms besprinkled over the estab
lishment, he looks ont from under his
cool Panama in disdain at tho aristocratic
discriminating frequenters of that fine
thoroughfare “who don’t know the
family.”
Li Po San, M. D., of San Francisco,
recently addressed an American patient
to this effect: I think you too much
dance, too much eat, too much fool
around. If you dance, you no get bet
ter ; too much eating no good ; too much
fooling around no good* Good by.
XfeF* It is now said that Grant has de
termined to offer Greoley the English
mission, and if the philosopher don’t
insist ou running for Governor, tho po
sition will be tendered him in a few days.
This, a lost and ruined world will be glad
to know, is not to interfere with “ What
I Know of Farming.”

Elder William Rosa, who died
28th of July, at his residenoe in Schley
connty, Ga., was bora in Hancock coun
ty, Ga., on the 12th day of September,
1798.
He nuited with the church of Christ
1821, and though licensed to exhort, a
few years afterward, he was not—on ac
count of some peculiarities of character—
ordained until 1854; after which, for sev
eral years, he was actively engaged in the
ministry—his time being pretty well fill
ed up in preaching to churches. His la
bors were blessed, and he was instrument
al in building several churches to an
viable degree of prosperity. He was
ted as a peace maker, ever seeking to set
tle difficulties between brethren, os they
arose in the churches. For several yean*
past he has had charge of no church,
preaching as opportunity presented itself,
but still manifesting unabated interest
and zeal in the cause of the blessed Sa
lle loved, ardently, association with
his brethren in Christ Jesus, and nothing
pleased him more than conversation upon
topics of Christianity. For forty years
he was a devoted “temperance man,”
abets and eeeryvhere identifying himself
with the canse, and endeavoring to 6tay
the tide of the mightiest evil that ever
cursed the world.
A short time before his illness, he
pressed himself os being in the enjoy
ment of “ sweeter communion with Christ
and as happier in preaching the gospel,
than he had for a long while* ”
He rejoiced in being able to sav:
ive not aught against a soul living.
During a part of his sickness his so
ings were exerntiating, but not a murmur
escaped his lips. ■- He said, “ his suffer
ings were good for him, and he was re
signed, perfectly, to all; that every pain
brought him nearer heaven.*’ We cannot
only commend his life,- but feel that his
strict honesty, faitJf nines* to every obli
gation, parity of life and unweonsd de
votion to the cause of true Christianity,
are worthy onr imitation. Though al
