TheGrrmax and French Soldier.
Tin* Gorman soldier is almost a ma
chine; his obedience is silent; his
discipline is passive; he lias no hesi
tation ; he possesses subordination
and submission as natural gifts. Tito
Freuotiliian. on the contrary, has
opinions and ideas of his own which
no discipline can entirely drive out;
of course he is obedient, because he
would lie shot if he were not so; hut
his obedience is not inert; it is an act
of reason, and is accompanied by a
quantity of mental reservations and
considerations which never enter
intu a German head. The result is
that lie is not susceptible of being
treated like a bundle which stops
where it is put until it is moved
again, and that therein lies a se
rious disadvantage in a movement
like a mobilization, where the first
duty of each soldier is to fall iu si
lently and stir ho more of his own <•-

THE PLATFORM.
The Convention adopted the follow
ing platform:
The Democratic parry of New York
renew the pledge of fidelity to the
principles adopted and affirmed
unanimously by the delegates repre
senting the Democrats of all the
United States, together assembled in
their latest National Convention, and
since re-approved and endorsed by
Democratic majorities in fifteen
•States, comprising more than half
the total population of tile Union.
Front the National Democratic
Platform, Baltimore, .July 10th, 1872:
The public credit must be carefully
maintained, and we denounce repudi
ation in every form and guise. [Ap
plause.] A speedy return to specie
payments is demanded alike by the
highest considerations of commercial
morality and honest government.
The times give proof that the present
depression of business is caused by
the re-action from the unhealthy
stimulus of an excessive depreciated
and irredeemable currency, by enor
mous and ill-adjusted municipal,
State and Federal taxation, and pec
ulating in the administration of pub
lic affairs. Tile remedy for this evil
is not to be found in the renewal of
any of the causes, in the face of the
fact that the volume of the currency
is greater than can be absorbed by
business ; in the face of the fact that
the recent fall of prices was followed
by repeated inflations, nny attempt
to increase the currency would be
worse than ineileeUtul l<> revive pros
perity. for it would interrupt the heal
ing process and industry. It would
be worse than futile to restore confi
dence, for it would create distrust
and new uncertainties in business,
paralyzing the beginnings of enter
prise ; rob labor of its too scanty em
ployment, and while stilling the pro
gress of legislut iy>- reforms, would in
dict lasting dishonor upon the credit,
the intelligence, and l ho character of
the country.

ATTORNEY GENERAL I'IF.KItLI'ONT's TELE
ORAM TO OOV. AMES.
AVaSHINOTON, Sept. 17, 1875.
To Gov. AdvUicvt Ames, Jackson, Mis
sissippi :
This hour I have had a dispatch
from the President. I can best con
vey to you Ids ideas by extracts from
dispatch:
“The whole public are tired out.
with these annual autumnal out
breaks in tlio South, aud tho groat
majority are ready not to condemn
any interference on the part of the
Government, I heartily wish that
peace and good order may bo restored
withuot issuing the proclamation:
but if it cannot, tho proclamation
must bo issued; and if it is, I shall
instruct the commander of the forces
to have no child’s play. Tf there is a
necessity for military interference,
there is justice in such interference
to deter evil doers.
“I would suggest the sending of a
dispatch or letter by a private mes
senger to Gov. Ames, urging him to
strengthen his own position by ex
hausting his own resources in restor
ing order before he received Govern
ment aid. He might accept the as
sistance offered by tho citizens of
Jackson and elsewhere.
“Gov. Antes and his advisers can
be made perfectly secure; ns many of
the troops now in Mississippi as he
dooms necessary may ho sent to Jack
son. If lie is betrayed by those who
offer assistance, he will he iu a posi
tion to defeat their ends aud punish
them.”
The mind of the President, with
which I and every member of tho
Cabinet who has been consulted
are in full accord. You see the diffi
culty you see tho responsibility you
assume, We cannot understand why
you do not strengthen yourself in
the way the President suggests;
nor do wc see why you do uot call
tho Legislature together and obtain
from them whatever powers and
money, and arms, you may need.
The Constitution is explicit, that the
Executive of the State can call upon
the President for aid in suppressing
domestic violence, only when the
Legislature cannot bo convened, and
the two expressed, viz, in oaso of an
insurrection in any State, against
the Government thereof, it shall be
lawful for the President, on appli
cation of tho Legislature of such
State, or of the Executive, when the
Ilegislature cannot be convened, to
call, itc. It is the plain meaning of
tho Constitution and tho laws when
taken together, that the Execu
tive of tho Btote may call upon the
President for military aid to quell
domestic violence), only in case of
an insurrection in any State, against
tlie Government, when the Legisla
ture cannot he called togother. You
make no suggestion, even that there
is any Insurrection against tho Gov
ernment of the State, or that the
Legislature would uot support you in
any measures you might propose to
preserve tho public order.
I suggest that you take all lawful
means and all needed measures to
preserve the peace by tho forces in
your own State, and let tho country
see that the citizens of Mississippi,
who arc largely favorable to good or
der, and wlto arc largely Republican,
have tho courage and 1 lie manhood to
light for their rights and to destroy
the bloody ruffians who murder the
innocent and unoffending froedmen.
Everything is in readiness. Bo care
ful to bring yourself strictly within
the constitution and the laws, and if
there is such resistance to your Htate
authority as you cannot, by all the
means at your command, suppress,
the President will swiftly aid you in
crushing these lawless traitors to hu
man rights.
Telegraph mo on receipt of this,
aud state explicitly what you need.
A’cry respectfully, yours,
Edwabd Pi kbrepont,
Attorney-General.

j American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by tho ablest writers ou every
subject. Printed from now typo, aud illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Mapß.
The work originally published under tho title
of The New American Cyclopaedia was com
pleted In 1863, since which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained iu all parts of the
United States, and the signal developments which
have taken place iu every brunch of science, lit
erature and art, havo induced tho editors and
publishers to submit it to at. exact and thorough
revision, and to issue a now edition entitled The
American Cyolop.kdia.
Within tho last ton years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge lias
made anew work of reference an imperative
want.
Tho movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their lruitfu
application to tho industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars aud consequent revolutions havo oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ol
tho old work appeared, has happily been ended,
ami anew course of commercial aud industrial
activity has been commenced.
Largo accessions to our geographical kuowl
edge nave been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of tho last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
meu, whoso names are iu every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every olio is curious to kuow the
particulars. Great buttles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which the de
tails ore us yet preserved only iu the newspapers
or iu the transient publications of the day, but
whicH ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to tho latest possi
ble dates, ami to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of tho newest
inventions in the practical arts, kh well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, aud with the most ample
resources for carrying it ou to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed ou
new typo, forming in fact anew Cyelopwdia, with
the same plan and compass as Us predecessor,
but with a fur greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with |uich improvements iu its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience aud
enlarged knowledge.
The Illustrations which aro introduced for tho
first time in the present edition Lave been added
uot for tho sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity und force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace nil branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture aud art. as woll as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although Intended for instruction rather than
einbelishmcut, no pains havo been spared to in
sure their artistio excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopaedia, aud worthy of iis
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will bo completed
in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

MALARIA!
_
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one gralu of Vaccine Virus, taken from th
cow’s udder aud kept dry for years, then mold
tuned, aud tho keenest point of a Lancet dipped*
iu it. and drawn gently ou the arm, so as not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate aud change
tho entire system as to prevent the party vac
cinated from taking tho most loathsome dis
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if tho
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere tho poison malaria, why will not tho
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize aud
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we havo prepared it, and applied it, aud proved
it iu our Anti-malarial or Kuchymlal Bolt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the Worst malarial districts without the fear ol
having any diseases arising from malaria; such aH
Chills ami Fever, Billions or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, and that it will cure all the above dis
easea. except the worst cases of Billious aud Yol
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
lti-lt. as it corrects the humors of the oody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to per.ormits various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria iu
the least.
It has been tried in thousands of cases without
R failure.
They can be obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at tho Powell Buildiug, junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.
N. B.— None genuine without the trade mark
is stamped upon them.

Caution.—'This Belt or Pad, like all articles of
merit, is being imitated by parties who ary try
ing to put up u worthless article, as there is uot
a living person, besides ourselves, that knows
the iugredieuts in it. We are the patentees, and
have our Belt protected by a Trade Murk.
Buns Cube.—ln another column will be found
two remarkable certificates about the efficacy of
Drs. Willson k Love’s Malarial Belts. The diffi
culty iu the way of using these belts is that they
are so simple that few can believe that there is
any virtue in them. When a patient is told to
use one he is very much like Naaroan when told
tiiat, to (’ure his leprosy, ho had only to bathe in
the river Jordan. Hon. John E. Ward says that
during his stay iu China, as Minister, these beltß
were used with great Success as preventives of
cholera. Wo know a ease where a lady had been
suffering with chills for more than a year, and
was finally induced to adopt one of these belts.
She has uot had a return of the chills since, and
she is fully persuaded that it is owing to the belt.
Dr. Willson’s terms are very fair—no cure, no
pay.

Atlanta, Ga., Juno 5, 1875.
Messrs. Love A Willson; Gentleiaen—ln Apri
last I was taken sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate day. Alter it had
run on mo for two weeks, 1 was induced to trv
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lightor each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it loft me entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate aB to have Chills and Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
1 am, respectfully, etc.,
W. J. Wilson.

Dus. Lovk k Willson:
On the lirst day of December last I was taken
with Chills and Fever in Thomasvllle, Southwes
tern Ga., and was treated for the saino by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in the first stages of consumption,
wh in I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will
son's Anti malarial Belt, which lias entirely cured
mo. I have bad but one chill since, and that was
the first day alter putting It on. lam now in as
good health as I ever was in my llle, and think
this Belt a God-send to the afflicted.

Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1875.
Some nine years ago I contracted malaria in
Havunnah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever since, until 1 met up with Drs. Love k
Willson’s Anti-malarial Belt some three mouths
ago. 1 have worn it continually, and have bad no
chill since, and find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others suffering with malaria.

The people of this town don’t chill worth scent
yet. I have sold two of tho pads, and that 1 did
the very hour I first received them, one to one of
our conductors, and to Mr. Vaughu, a Clerk in
the office. They both say that they tried Quinine
and other remedies, and that they failed till they
put on the pad; since then they have had no more
Chills or Fever, and they recommend them toev

Dus. Love k Willson, Atlanta, Ga:—Gentle
men—l have been a sufferer from chills aud fever
for (19) nineteen years, and have used£all of the
popular remedies, but only bail temporary relief
until about three months since, I was induced, by
your agent, Captain W. R. White, to wear one of
your “Auti-Marial Bells.” I have not had a chill
since putting it on. It has enabled me to look
after my farming interest more closely, and ex
pose myself to rain and sunshine more than for
nineteen years. It has been worth to me, in
feelings and absolute results, not less than five
hundred dollars.
I cheerfully recommend it to all “shakers.”
Respectfully, etc.,

DBS. Love A Willson:— Dear Birß — l have been
having chills, caused from living in a malarious
district, for seven years. During that time I
have taken miners of Quinine, with which I have
usually checked them for a while, but they have
invariably returned as soon as I would leave off
the use of tbe medicine. Having taken Arse
nic and Strichnine, and nearly every chill
remedy I ever beard of. I procured, a mouth
since, one of your “Anti-Malarial Belts,” which I
have worn, and during this time l have bad only
ouo chill, which was brought on by being exposed
to night air and getting wet. It has done me
more good than all tho internal remedies put to
gether which I have taken in the past seven years.
I am very gratefully and respectfully yours,
