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 ta, will give as a premium to the best lady-rider at the ensuing State Fair, to bo held in that city, a Toilet Set and Bose-wood Dressing Case valued at fifty dollars.

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 this morning, and if you take the trouble . - . 1 -in.-*—* — 3 — —i will 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.

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 broken, yet by his system . of draining, preparing, manuring and cultivating, he has succeeded in making a crop which is unrivaled in this county, and I venture (natural advantages being equal)' unsur passed in the State,—and when I say crop, Mr. Editor, I don’t mean cotton on ly, he will moke an abundance of com to supply his place another year and proba bly have some to spam Now, I do not propose to go into . all the particulars of his tystem, and in that way deprive him of the natural and inno- cent gratification to be derived from the gratuitous .importing of information, which experience teaches him will enable the farmer to increase tho yield of his land four-fold, nor do I wish it understood that all of uz here in Schley are making ’ crops, Ioritywant to give to Mr. Hudson that credit which his suc cess merits, to place on the record one more instanco of the susceptibility of our ItwLi to improvement, ana to bring be- fon.ibfl prove tin . of proper means) 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.

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.

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.

Ross. 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.
