This treshet has proved a terrible calamity to the good old State, carrying as it did, death and destruction in its sweeping pro gress. A cotsmporary says that “ when the total loss ia footed up, the destruction ol property will approximate $5,000,000. Tbe number of lives already reported lost by tbe floods is over 100.

Had tbe wand ol a malignant and merciless fairy been waved ever Paris, changing everything that was Joyous i7uo grief aud all pleasant objects into emblems ol suffering, tbe transtormaiion could uol have been more startling and shocking than that which has occurred. From the boulevards we see ihe dense columns of smoke that allots tiom the burning woods and villages arouud us; aud we speculate on how Jong it will be eroeur own Houses ate set ou fire by the Prussian bombs. There is a story here to-night that the enemy have immense mortars which will throw projectiles to a hitherto unheard ot dis tance, and that the shells lor ttu«.e mortars re filled with nitro-glycenne. The Paris j ou knew was most gay at night—the Paris we now know is to-night wrapped in silence, gloom aud sor row. Not a theater is open; the streets are al most deserted; all the shops are closed save the cates, ana those are empty; the lew paseeis-by who are seen walk quicky and without speak ing. Nearly every able-bodied man in the city is in the defenses or at the barracks, aud their wives aud children sit at home with hearts heavy with grief. Up to this moment the iu ha- vior of those from whom the worst whs dread*.d —the Reds and the mob—bus been wonderfully good. Never has the city been more orderiy aud more free from crime. But bow long is this to last? Rochefort has, thus far, restrained the teds, and the mob has restrained itself.

In a political seuBe the principle is the same. Georgia, unrepresented in the National council, should prepare, when she.becomea represented, through her congres sional delegation, to assist in reforming abuses which exist, in the administration ot the Gov ernment, and there is none more intolerable than tbe cost to the country ot its army in a time of profound peace witn ail the world. Candidates tor Congress are in the field in Georgia, and in view oi the above *o which we reier, we publish tor their reformation and Neneflt, the following which we clip from tbe Nashville Union and American of recent dale : “ The war in the field has bees ended for more than five years. In all that time not a •• Rebel ” soldier has anywhere appeared to re sist the authority of the United States. There has not been a day in all that time that tbe United States Marshal could not serve any pro cess that be might be required to execute. Not withstanding ibis, a comparatively large army has be*n kept up a* an annual expense more than double that ot the army during the Mexi can war. The expenditures on account ot the fl-ca! year endintr June 30,1870, were $57,655,- 675 40. England, with a standing army of one hundred thousand, expends only $75,000 0C0 per annum, while tbe United Slates under a Republican government witn her j t wenty-iour reg.incuts under a Radical admin istration spends near fitly e : gnl millions per annum. Contrast the army expenses uuder Radical and Democratic administratioes, and me extravagance oi Radical rule becomes ap parent. The expense of tbe army lor tbo year ending June 80, i860, woe only $14,472,203 721 lesa iban one quaiter the cod ot the last year 1 During the war wi'h Mexico the expenditures 'or 1845, under Democratic rule, was between ten and eleven mifions; in 1847, between thir ty flve and thirty-six millions; and in 1848, be tween twenty-.even and twenty-eight millions —an average ot $24,000,000 per year, and less than one-halt required by General Grant tor one year in time of pro found peace, in tne fifth year after the Mexi can war the war expenses were reduced from $35 OuO 000 in 1847, to leas than $9,000,000 in it*5l and 1852, uuder the administration ot Mr.; Fi luiorc. Mark the difference. JVow, alter five i years of peace, we are paying more Itau six times nine millions rot army expenses under a Riaical administration, un l a party that claims to be economical Ia me better days of thr Kepublic the army was not used to carry elec tions sad deprive citizens of their civil rights tc perpetuate party rule. When the army is thus subverted from its ligitimate field ot duty, it is no wouder that the cost of maintaining it has ao largely increased under Radical rule.” The Political Policy ot Prussia and of Austria.—In all places, at all times, end among all men, Prussia has consistently, imiustriousiy, and persistently Germanized, but Austria has always lusted after the flesh-pots ot Slavo nia. Above all things else, and all other con siderations whatever, Prussia has sought to add to herself German territoiy, but Austria has married, and conquered, and allied, and inher ited to herself fourteen languages, and always anything rather than German. In the mixed provinces ol that empire it has come to be re garded as axiomatic that to belong to the gov ernment party is to be Slavonic—to the oppo sition, German. It is a weliestabJjsL'fcd tact that the single Slavonic province oi Bohemia has, Irom first to last, furnished three—four.ha or the officers of the f.ily^at the present hour empire. There are hundreds antj hundreds ot little towns iu the mixed provinces of Austria, where a liuie assistance Irom the government, such as Prussia gladly gives in her Polish pro vinces, would enable the Germans to maintain, a German school, and save their children from becoming denationalized; but Austria never helps them. Instead oi Germanizing, the Gov ernment of that empire nos garrisoned Hunga ry with German troops, and German provinces with Hungarian, while the Venetians hummed their Garibaldi hymn around their little frozen camp-fires in far Galicia, »nd the Poles their Bone coa Folaky in the Q-ia'hria’e a*. Amid sli this chaos.11,o iiquesceccy, the one rising Star of hope, ihe glory ol uil Ger many’s best and wisest irieods, and the only nucleus ol luture union, has been Pi ussia lu all this sad and miserable history rif unhappy Germany, running through drear> ceiini nes ot feuds, and jangling, and the wretched bickerings ot princelings, there has come up no other name by which she might be redeemed.- From Prussia thi Gsruan Nation, m the October number of Lippincott'a Magazine The Xatlastl Debt siauMesi on the First Oc taker.

Haras au Harsh. Many persons have wondered why horse* chestnut, horse-radish, &C-, are so called. A Scotch work, entitled, ’’E ynoons of English Woros,” s-nys lh«tl tbe ongiuai word was “harsh'’ harsh chtSinut, hur>t-radish, and 'he Fren>-!i aud Swedes tiausuited it — hence the common error. So says an erudite exchange! A standing reward exists in France lor any person who shall produce some certain best by which real and apparent death may bo distin guished from each otaer. Tntre are many “ bests ” known to physicians, but the difficulty always is to subject them to the apcrimantvm eottrig. The latest proposed is that ot Dr. La- burde, who, at a late meetiug ol tbe Academy of Mtcieine in Peris, maintained that real ccu'd be dis'.ingsisbed Irom apparent death by the effect produced by a bright needle iaeened in the flesh. When tbe death ia apparent only, tbe needle is oxidized j but when it is real, the needle remains br gbt, tne theory being that ibis oxyd'zatien iu tbe dead body re-ulu irom the superior demand ior oxygen mode by tbe tissues during fife, while in death they ready give it up to the needle.

Well saldft, The Detroit Free Presss says: There ia no wrong ot which this adinim-tratlon has not been guilty. Its affiliation with »nd aid of the military mob in North Carolina; its indorse ment of similar conduct in o'! er Southern States, and its more receut indorsement ot the disfranchisement ot sixty thousand white men in Missouri, all stamp it as corrupt aud part'.zan beyond all precedent.

An Emphatic Diftc.'ainacr. Count Bismarck has made public, tho follow ing statement; The n-norted conversation be tween the King and Napoleon given by Rus sell, correspondent ot the London Times, and since extensively published, ia founded tiirough- out on mere invention. We are not surprised at the foregoing an nouncement, and if the French and Prussians know as much ot “Bull Run” Russell’s inven tive powers as the people ol the late Con federate States, his letters would be received with “many grains of allowance’’ lor tlrerr contents. A mass meeting ot citizens of Rod Bank, New Jersey, have nominated H. T. Helmhold, the far-famed druggist, for the Presidency. Whatever may be the chances ot Mr. Helmbold for reaching the White House, everybody must admit he has reached fame and fortune by judicious and extensive advertising, and we have no doubt, it elected, would give to every sovereign who voted for him, a bottle ot Buchu, free gratis. Twice a week, this far-famed drngg’st has a three-column advertisement in the Intelli gencer. We have no doubt he would make a good President. United States Troops for Laurens —At the instance ot Governor Bcotf, it is supposed, General Terry, commanding the Department ot the South, has ordered that two companies ot the Eighth lnfan'ry be sent to Newberry and Laurens, 8.

Our renders will see, by the cable telegrams of to-day that the peopleoi Paris have substituted the pigeon express for the telegraph ie striding out and re ceiving back news from Tours, Meiz, &c. These pigeons were no dornt obtained from Brussels, where at least 15,000 are continually domiciled. No doubt they have a good ■■dock ot the.-e birds iu Paris, and mat they are what are called “homing birds”—that Is, birds trained to return home even mouths after their liberation. However much we may pride ourselves on our scientific appliances, in this Case the pigeon surpasses the electric telegraph, and wtieie the wires wouid be oi uo avail, a bird of the air will carry the voice, and mat wtiicii hath wings tells tbe matter—a mode of communication at least ss old ss the time of 8olouu>n.

Fifty-five esses oi yellow fever and sixteen deaths are said to have occurred in New York and neighborhood 'during the past month. The fact is developed of a strange contrition of pro fessional disagreement among tbe health authori ties of that city. Governor’s Island, me seat ot the diseases, has been quarantined. There were no new cases on the 1st instant. outlandish casks, who, if they be not shifted si'e* one*- in a lew mouths, grow too soar for their has:tends.

This nili, now a law of the State, it having receistd the signature of the Governor, is being almost universally denounced by tbe press ol the country, North, South, East, and West.

Noble Heroism.—One of the most touching anecdotes of the horriole war now desolating France ia that ot a bister ot Cnarity at Keisch- sboffeD. She was following in the rear of the ^treating French forces. Ail at once she heard a cry—that of a soldier ju«t snot and writhing on the ground. Running io him,she ministered as well as circumstance- allowed, and was about making the sign ot the cress on his brow when a cannon-ball Btruck her and carried off both legs.
