It is three weeks to-day since King William left Berlin to head hie troops. In that time the Prussians have had one unbroken succession of victories, tele graph io and other, and by the aid of these triumphs have progressed into France for aomo fifty miles from the border. This progress, father, baa been made prior to the 15th instant, since which date there has been constant fight ing, and even more than the usual num ber of telegraphic. victories, with no known progress for the Prussian* at all Now, if progression be the Pnuriaa plan of campaign, and last week’s hammering at Bazaine has reunited in no progression it is evident that the substantial victory in all this desperate fighting is not with, the Prussians, but with Bazaine.

The Massacre of Tientsin*. A letter of Rev. Mr. Hartwell, pub lished in the Macon Telegraph, has the following upon the Massacre of Ticntsing which oocured on the 21st June last: You will bo horrified to bear of the fearfal tragedy that has secured at Tient- sing, the next port north oi this. The people havo risen and butchered, in a most brutal manner, the French Consul and ten Roman Catholic Sisters of Mercy gouging ont their eyes, cutting off tlieir breasts, tearing out their hearts and rip ping them up the full length of their bodies, and tims, many' _ subjects. Altogether there were twenty- three (23) French and Russians murdered, and upwards of forty native Roman Catholic convert*!. The Russians were mistaken for Frenchmen. The whole thing seems to have been deliberately planned. No Germans, En glish or Americans were injured. Two brides—one French and one Russian— were killed in a most shocking manner. Not only the Sisters were inangled, but the other women ns well. Some were burned afterwards, and some were thrown into the river. The Consulate, the Ca thedral, Hospital, eta; were burned. The pretext for the riot was a repent that the Sisters of Mercy were in the habit of stealing child m aud pin out their eyss to make opium, and hearts to make photographic chemicals. The foundation for this report was the fact that there was * JL C. hospital where the Sisters gathered together all tho outcast and dying children, to save them, if they could, or if they could not. to sprinkle -them and save their souls. Of course n great many pitch children died on their hands. It most have been known sad indeed encouraged by the local official*, or such a dreadful mastocro could not Iiavo been accomplished.

Each and every _ county ’is to have a Board of Education, composed of one member from each milifa'a district and ward in any city in the country—elected *>y tho legal voters at the regular election for members of the General Assembly— to hold office for two years. Eaeh board meets on the first Tuesday of the mouth succeeding that of their election, and shall organize by electing one of their number President, and a suitable pexson Secret ary, which last mentioned officer, by said election, becomes County Com missioner or Superintendent The Board meets monthly. At their first meeting they shall carefully lay out and describe sub-school districts throughout their couuirj; eetabl ish schools of various grades, have the care and custody of all houses, sites, libraries; may sue ‘and be sued; receive grants, Aa,* and manage the same in the interest of the schools; employ, pay and dismiss teachers; build, repair and furnish school houses, and make all necessary provisions for said schools. HE COUNTY COMMISSIONER examines, in the presence of the Board, applicants for teachers’ positions and issue license of first, second, or third grade according to the riot of correct an swers. He Is authorized to revoke licenses for incompetency, immorality, cruelty, or neglect of duty. Teachers havo tho right of appeal to the Board whose decision is final, unless on appeal to tho State School Commissioner within ten days after dismissal. He is to re ceive a per client oi $3 for each day em ployed in his official duties. The County Board is empowered to fix the number of days in each year in which the said County Commissioner shall labor. SCHOOL DIRECTORS OK TRUSTEES, The legal voters in each sub-district elect on the first Saturday in January in each year, three School Trustees—one for three years, one for two years, and one for one year—annually thereafter one trustee shall be elected for three years. They visit the schools twice each term. They are co adjutors of the Counter Board, and through them full statistics, etc., are obtained. The only paid officers are the Connty Commissioner and Teachers in each county; the State School Commissioner and ms clerk. Connty Boards may, at their discre tion, upon their respective fields, provide a suitable number of o\ ening schools for the instruction of yo-.s h ovei fourteen years oi age, who are prevented by their daily occupation from attending day school*. AMBULATORY SCHOOLS. Whenever three militia districts are found near enough caeh other, contain- ; not lets than fifteen children of the iool age, provision shall be made where by school* niny be kept in each two months of the year. This is to be accom plished by what are known as ambulatory or circuit teachers. SEPARATE SCHOOLS. The trustees are required to make all nr cessary arrangemen ts for the instruc tion of the white and colored youth in separate schools. The same faculties shall be provided for each. "But the children of the white and colored races shall not be taught together in any sob-district of the State, unless at a regular school meeting of said'district held for the pur pose, if it shall lie so determined by a majority of the legal' voters of the white race, and a majority of the colored race.” THE COMMON SCHOOL TEND.

Chassefot and Needle Gun.—The Paris Temps gives the following: 1 Range and efficacy of the weapon! The velocity of the ball ol the chassepot in passing out of the mouth of the piece is 420 metres; that of the needle gun is only 257. As the resalt of the enormons difference in the initial velocities of the two balls, it follows that at 500 metres tho Prussian ball is neariy “spent,” while at 1,000 metres the French ball kills almost certainly, disables at 1,000 metres, and may still do service at a dis tance of 1,600 or 2,000 metres. 2. Accuracy of aim. The accuracy of the French aim is greater at a distance of 1,000 metres than that of the Prussians at 500. The bridge of the first is grad uated up to 1,200 metres, while that of the second only goes up to 550 (800 Pros- Biau feet.) 3. Rapidity of firing. The French gun requires four movements for loading, the Prussian five, so that the chasaepots can be fired from twelve to thirteen times a minute, and the needle' gun only eight or nine during the same time. 4. The fourth point claims that the Prussian weapon foals earner than the ehaasepot, and requires more frequent repairs. 5. Weight of .the arms and socon- trements—The French weapon weighs four kilogrammes without the sabre bay onet, and 4,600 kilogrammes with the sabre bayonet. The Prussian gun weighs five kilogrammes without the bayonet and 5,350 kilogrammes with it The handling of the first is, therefore, the least fatiguing. Tho French cartridge weighs thirty-two grains and the Pms sian forty-one grains. ■ > • AuBBMtatr.—’This c Prussian cavalry offloer, said to have been Jailed! in tho late battle, dnring the Austrian campaign, commanded the first heavy) brigade, consisting of tho ffcircle de corps land the cuirassier* of the guard; lioth ***.?#*• ■ • r: - I The garde de corps, somewhat resem bling the English horse.guards, is oom posed oi four, squadrons and six hundred men.

She then implored him to spare her life, say ing that she would not tell who had at tempted to kill her; but he tried to ahoot her again, when his pistol failing to fire, he dragged her into the wood* and beat out her brains with the weapon, said that his only reason for lulling hei was that she informed upon a negro friend of his who had insulted her,and who was forced to ran away in consequence.

The Goddess of Lib erty, in the last stanza, knelt with the tri-odor and embraced it, the whole an- dience rising; and when the sflrerthrill of the bugle sounded the solemn "march on,” thonianda of voices took it up pas sionately, and the “liberty of death” was sung as by a tempest. This was repeated three times, the rapture of the multitude increasing with each repetition, women weeping as they sang; and men standing pale and fearful. Then the applause ex ceeded in fervor all that I had imagined able to even French excitability.— re was a universal uncontrollable frenzy.
