THE DAI lA’ TIMES.
THE NEW ARMY OF FRANCE,
How it is Made Up and What it Can Do.
! \ (•rnctiil llwrliitloa <st tlie >!• u Who
tin) he rood for Fowitfr,
In order to assure tho French army
an ample and constant supply of re
-1 emits, and gradually to expand it to
I tho full strength which it is to pos
sess in the course of time, Ihe law of
general military service- the con
scription, in a word of the first re
public is to bo restored iu its fullost
vigor; all permanent exemptions are
to be abolished; and, subject only to
dispensations of a temporary kind
and strictly determined, every
Frenchman capable of bearing arm's
is to be liable to serve iu the ranks
for periods deemed sufficient to make
the national forces of udequnto pow
er. Tho elements of an enormous
military array will, by such means,
bo fully secured; and care is taken
that these shall form tho component
port* of a finished product, not rude
and almost worthless material. For
this purpose (he liability to serve is
to be real in all eases. Kvery French
man who is enrolled us a soldier is to
join tho army for a specified time,
depending on certain and fixed rules,
and nil those who have left tho ranks
are to be held iu readiness to return
to them during the whole time of
t heir prescribed service. In t liis way
two of tho worst vices of the old
French system arc to be got rid of;
the whole mass of the forces of
Franco will lie composed, in the
main, of trained men, and tin im
mense reserve will be formed by de
grees, made up of troops nearly as
efficient. Finally, the methods are
to be definitely given up by which
tlie French army was marshalled for
war; it is no longer to have its ele
ments scattered, and, therefore,
slowly collected and moved; it is to
be kept together in organized units,
at all times prepared for speedy ac
tion, and capable of being quickly
enlarged to their fullest strength,
anil its whole mechanism is to be so
contrived that I'cierit.y of "mobiliza
tion” and readiness for tho field
shall be a certain and easy result.
Let us now see how these leading
principles are to be embodied iu ac
tual facts. The rule of general mili
tary service, the conscription without
lasting exemptions, will give Franco
every year a contingent of about 150,-
000 young men. without counting the
“disponseil-with” class, liable to be
called out on important occasions.
Kvery man enrolled in each yearly
contingent will be obliged to serve
for twelve months at least, omitting
certain exceptions made in favor of
aptitude and education; and a large
number to be selected by lot, will
have to serve a much longer time, in
onler to supply the special am,,
artillery, engineers and cavalry
which require a long professional
training. The yearly contingents so
distributed will be liable to serve live
years in the first main divisions of
the armies of France; and though
tho period of actual service for that
part of tile men will, as a rule, bo
shorter, they will brail hold ready
to join the ranks at a summons I'niiii
the Minister at War. When the
term of five years shall have passed,
each contingent will fail into tlie first
reserve; ami here every man will
again bo liable to serve a further pe
riod of four years, and to be recalled
to the army at a moment’s notice.
After an actual or potential service
for the two terms of five and four
years, each eonttngenl willbedrafted
in turn to the second reserve of the
national forces, and it. will be held to
service l'or live or six years that is,
during eleven years in the two di
visions of what is meant to be the
last great support of t he French army.
Koch contingent will thus, in differ
ent ways, be subject to serve for
twenty years; and consequently, at
the end of that full period, the forces
of France raised by conscription will
amount to the immense aggregate of
twenty contingents of 150,1)00 men
each, all, or nearly so, trained and
effective soldiers -with deductions,
of course, for deaths tuul casual;iei
—and even in ton years they will be
formidable in no mean degree. The
age of service, it should bo added,
will be from twenty to forty, and
thus the (lower of the youth and man
hood of France will lie all enrolled
in t lie national ranks.
This immense mass of military
forces will not, however, represent
the whole of the power and resources
of France for war. In addition to the
conscription levies, she will have a
“permanent army” of 120, 000 men,
of “officers, staff, admini- 1 rathe
corps, gendarmes, veteran and re-en
gaged soldiers;" the legion e/ivoe/ere
ami similar bodies, who have often
added to the renown of her arms.
This permanent army, we need not
say, will Vie an extremely valuable
force. It will largely contain the
most precious and important ele
ments of military strength ; it. will be
animated by a high professional
feeling; and it will give eonsitenoy
and force to the arrays of contin
gents. Taken altogether the. forces of
France, after making allowance for
all losses and non-affoctiveness of
various kinds, would ultimately, un
der tile intended scheme, reach the
enormous total of 2,Ron,ik>o men, ac
cording to calculations by no means
sanguine ; and far th" greater part of
this warlike multitude would, we re
peat, be expert soldiers, not worth
less recruits, or troops on paper. Let
usnow combine and generally dist rib
ute this colossal whole, the most, for
idmablc organization for war which
has over been designe I by a vauquish
jed nation. Tlie permanent army and
! the first nine contingents that is,
I those of live and four years’ service—
would, it is believed, yield without.
I difficulty about 1,250,000 men ; ami
these arc to form the unlive army,
| composed of a first line and a first
reserve. The active army is in time
of peace, to have a strength of 180,-
j 000 men men present with the colors
and in the ranks; for a considerable
1 portion of each contingent, though
! liable to serve, would be sent on fur
i lough when it should have been suffi
ciently drilled; but, on a declaration
|of war, it would quickly expand into
1 a force of 780,0'K) men, by calling in at
once the mass of the trained contin
gents belonging to die first line and
I tiie first reserve, these contingents
! being eight, it should be observed;
in number; for the ninth, contingent,
that of the existing year, would, it
might be assumed, bo, as a rule, im-
I formed. The 700,000 men would thus
: immediately form an imposing army,
made up, without exception, of excei
' lent troops; but this would be only
j the first front of war which France
would possess the means to present.
Over and above tho 780,000 men, the
I eight trained contingents would in a
COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 1875.
short time be able to yield nearly
300,000 more, to those should be add
ed the ninth contingent, about 150.-
000 strong, and tho "ilisponsed-with”
class, which it is supposed would
roach 141,000 men ; and inns a second
army, though composed to a consid
erable extent of raw levies—the un
trained ninth contingent and tlie
“disponsod-with” class- would be
from 500,000 to (100,000 in numbers,
would stand in tho rear of the first
army and afford It a very powerful
support. Nor are even these the lim
its of tho force which, In tlio event of
a protracted struggle, Franco would
be able to place in tho field. Tlie
eleven fast contingents that is, those
of the later five and six year’service
are, ns wo have soon, to form a sec
ond great reserve; and this great
army, which it is supposed would
amount to 1,000,000 or 1,200,000 men,
is to constitute tho territorial army,
the supplement, of its active associate.
This force is to be arranged into two
main parts, tho first more ready to
move than tho second. Its duties,
speaking generally, would bo to pro
tect, and defend the territory of
France, te garrison fortresses, hold
strong points anil set the active army
free for field operations: hut occa
sionally it. would join that army, and
co-oporato with it in the shock of
battle, and it is to be linked with it
in the closest manner, i t is super
lions to add that it is intended to
provido the most complete material
and equipment of all kinds for these
immense arrays, which, wo sn,y it
again, would, when fully ilovellopod,
amount to 2,500,000 men, real soldiers
by fur the greater number of them.
In all these arrangements an imitu
t ion of the German system manifest
ly appears, hut there are some very
marked differences. Frazer's Mayn
ziue,
Alnlmntu Iron.
It is n gratifying fact we are pro
ducing some descriptions of iron for
which there i:s a foreign demand, no
less than 10,03!) tons having been ex
ported to Ihiropo during the year
IST!. Iron for the manufacture of east,
iron wheels, from Alabama furnaces,
is being largely exported to F.uropc.
A great deal of manufactured iron,
and even American hardware, is also
underselling tho manufactures of
England, and being imported to that
country, which tlie London Standard
intimates is ono of tho causes of tlie
prostration of tho iron interests
Baltfonotv AilUTuwi.
Tho recent mercantile failures in
England are mainly in the iron trade,
the depression of which is duo in a
great measure to the underbidding of
England by Germany and especially
I>\ Belgium. The public schools of
the continent and the skill of educa
ted mechanics, have destroyed the
former .supremacy of English labor.
As an illustration of the condition of
affairs across tlie ocean, wo note the
recent statement that a firm in Wales
offered to supply an English railway
with twent y thousand tons of rails at
a price which would not have given
them any profit, and yet the contract
was awarded to a firm in Belgium at
twenty shillings per tun less than tile
Welsh offer. The fact that iron gir
ders can bo imported from Belgium
at lower rales t hail the ruling prices
in America lias caused a father re
diiotion in the United States mar
kets.
Tho advantage which Belgium pos
sesses over all the world arises from
t lie fact that it is the only country in
Europe (hat, keeps out of war. It is
too small to meddlo with its neigh
bors, and therefore concludes to mind
its own business. It has no occasion
to levy high taxes, and produces too
much foodfor its flve-and-a-half mil
lion inhabitants on 11,300 square
miles of territory. So it happens
that food and transportation are
cheap and wages low. The railways
of Belgium belong to tho State, car
rying passengers at less than one
cent per mile, and yielding a largo
revenue besides. One cent is the
price for shaving made by Belgium
barbers in many large cities, anil yet
they live well and comfortably. An
excellent dinner of several courses
can be had for twelve cents, and so
on in proportion. The arts of peace
instead of the arts of war are studied,
and the art of swindling kept iu
wholesale abeyance. Schools fertile
training of mechanics are encouraged
and utilized in both Belgium and
France, which arc constantly ena
bled to turn nui bel ter and cheaper
goods than England, and will ulti
mately have the effect of putting'
down and keeping down prices in this
country also.
Belgium, France and Germany
having no iron of their own, must
seek tin; ore in foreign countries. If
England can find it economy to buy
Alabama pig-iron at Liverpool, the.
continent can buy it with greater
profit,. Tiie transportation of iron
ore from Mobile to the continental
cities is simply a question of time. —

greatly affect this year’s crop.
Of the fourteen thousand persons
who died, only five thousand wore
killed outright by the earth

fever aud lockjaw, which, in that cli
mate, nearly always follows severe
injuries. During the earthquake in
candescent balls of fire were vomited
from the. volcano of Labotora, and
set lire to many house, which caused
a scene appalling and grand beyond

AGRTCITLTURAL BUREAU.
Himilily lli'iHii't til tin* Con ill lon or
Crops.
WashAuton, June 20. The month
ly report of tho Department of Agri
culture contains tlie following rela
tive to tiie crop condition:
COTTON.
In tho larger portion of tho cotton
area at tho usual time for planting,
tiie soil was wet and cold in the At
lantic coast districts, aud in a less de
gree in the more western areas, and
germination was retarded, but. not
destroyed; afterwards tho weather
became favorable for growth aud tlie
chopping out process, with a tenden
cy, in places, to an injurious lack of
moisture. A frost, on the 19th of
May, in North Carolina destroyed the
cotton in certain swamp lands, and
late frosts wero somewhat injurious
in all tho States except Florida and
Texas. Tho stand is ranch hotter
than that of last year, anil the plants
more advanced in growth, notwith
standing their late start, and the crop
is generally quite clean. No serious
injury lias been done by Insects;
the cut worm is noticed in some coun
ties of Florida, Texas and Arkansas.
The plants have been infested with
lice in some fields in Florida. The
threatened reduction in area has not
been accomplished.
While there lias been an increase
in corn and wheat it has not been at
tho expense of cotton. Nor lias tho
reduced area of last year been much
enlarged. Our returns make only
1 io 2 per cent Increase. There is
only one Slate - Georgia which has
an official bureau for tho collection
of crop statistics, which makes tho
reduction of acreage five per cent,
which is within one per cent, of tlie
result returned by our own crops in
that State. Tho comparison with
last year is as follows; North Caro
lina, 102; South Carolina, 10C; Geor
gia, iiii; Florida, 99; Alabama, 104;
Mississippi, 102; Louisiana, 101; Tex
as, 108; Arkansas, nil; Tennessoo,
92. Tlie maximum June condition
of cotton for a period of five seasons
was reported 1872; the order for the
other four is 1875, 1873, 1871, 1874.
Tlie comparison with a crop of fill!
vitality and normal growth in all re
spects is for t he-present month as
follows: North Carolina, 92; South
Carolina, 97; Georgia, 91; Florida,
94; Alabama, 101 ; Mississippi, 100;
Louisiana, 95; Texas, 90; Arkansas,
90; Tennessee, 99.
An investigation lias been under
taken fur tho correction of tho basis
of area in cotton ill vogue for years
past. The statisticians has for years
had strong reasons for believing tho
area heretofore reported in cotton to
have been too small, for the past two
yeans has had demonstration of that
belief. Alabama lias not printed an
estimate since 187:1. The figures pub
lished in all the domestic journals
arc those originally returned by our
correspondents, with annual modifi
cations in accordance with tho yearly
per centages of increase or decrease.
There are excellent other systematic
data for obtaining tlie acreage, and
there is otherwise, in fact, nothing
but individual guessing from person
al observation or desultory facts.
Now tho difficulty is this: Tn esti
mating tlie average rates of yield tier
acre of any crop whatever, farmers
almost invariably assume too high a
figure, whether from pride in the rep
utation of their neighborhood for fer
tility and good culture, or from tho
controlling impression made upon
their minds by tho appearance of the
best fields.
Our correspondents wero urged to
avoid estimates and givo only ascer
tained facts, so a census of a few
farms would be taken here, a neigh
borhood there, and occasionally a
large district. The local officers were
in some instances enlisted in tho
work.
Tlie results are not complete and
arc not deemed quite sufficient for an
| authoritative estimate, which can be
| rolled on in the future as a perfectly
j accurate basis of comparison, yet
! they arc too important to be with
! hold, and will be received by a fair-
I minded public as the best known date
for an approximate estimate of tho
real area in cotton.
Without perfecting these estimates
it is evident Unit tlie true acreage
of 1874 cannot fall very much short of
three times as many acres ns wero
produced of hales in 1871, or at least
eleven million acre.-:, possibly a figure
a little larger. This corresponds with
the muss of facts brought to our ob
servation annually for two years
past. In connection with the inves
tigation to fix tlie basis of area, pre
liminary returns relative to the pres
ent crop were received. A synopsis
of those received after tho middle of
May is as follows: During May pre
liminary returns were received from
: :;iu cotton counties. Tho season is
reported late in nearly every in-
I stance, from ten days to two weeks,
ginerally, but in some eases throe and
four weeks. More than two-thirds of
| the returns make tho season two
: wet, especially in time of plant
ing and germinating in some districts.
Tiie past .two weeks have been too
dry. The stand is reported good in
a majority of the returns from North
Carolina, Soutii Carolina, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi and Texas;
rather above tiie average in Arkansas;
slightly below in Georgia, Missis
sippi, Louisiana and Texas, anil av
erage in Alabama aud the Carolinas.
The report on tho wheat crop lias
already been published.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act,
It' one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow’s udder and kept dry for years, then mois
teiioil, aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
in Hand drawn gently on tho arm, so ns not to
draw tho blood, will so impregnate aud change
tho entire system as to prevent tho party so vac
eiuuft’d from taking the most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if tho
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable. malarial district into u healthy, salu
brious clinic, by simply absorbing from the ut
mosphcrc the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity V
We claim that there is such a remedy, and tlmt
w ,, h<tv< 11 * p&ied it, and applb and it, aud proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Fuchymial Belt—and
that persona who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without tho fear of
hav Big any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills aud Fever, Billions or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, and that it will cure all tho above dis
eases. except tho worst cases of Billions aud Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects tho humors of tiie body aud
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, ami thus enabling it to perform its various
duties without fearing tho effects of malaria iu
tho least.
Jt lias been tried in thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can bo obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, junction ol
Broad and Pcachtreo streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a siuglo Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.

is stamped upon them.

Messrs. Love k Willson: Gentlemen—ln April

Ague, having it every alternate day. After it hod
run on me. for two weeksf, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, aud simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; ami in future, If 1 should ever
have a Chill or Ague,l would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that may bo
so unfortunate as to have Chills and Fever may
be fortunate enough to get ono of your Belts,
