MILITARY FoRCE IN FRAScE.-We find, in
a French paper, that the effective military force
of France, according To documents which have
served as a basis TO the late reyisions Of the
budget received on this subject, Is as follows
effective force, 377 l23 men IN reserve, S6,-
3l2 men; A; battaions Of Paris, % 900 men
total, 58s, 40 men. We must add TO this
number, 10000 young soldiers Of the class of
1917. In case Of war this contingent would
Become Immediately available, which would
give grand total Of 55S, ,ii0 men. The ei-
feciiye force Of the army in Africa is al this
time $4,000 men, which could be reduced
without endangcring the power of the French
in that quarter, 10 10000 men. This would
then, give permanent army of near 800, 900
men TO resist continental war The ~ bat.
taliors of volunteers of the National Guard
(h1oiik) is about being formed under the pa

were to break out, each department would see
formed within lis jurisdiction, as in 1882, bat
ialions of volunteers, which would swell the
effective force to nearly one million ot H'ea.

GEN. Jnckson.s opinion ofOld zack

The great foresight of Gen. Jackson
was one of the great characteristics of his
mind. We have been placed in possess
ion of an anecdote which is strikingly H.
Illustrative oft, and one that will be read
at the present. time with the greatest inter-
est.
Gen. Jackson, in his sickness, occupied
his mind to very gaeat degree with the
subject ofthe annexation of Texas; as his
bodily strength failed him, it seemed as
if his mind grew stronger impressed with
the matter. A distinguished clergymen
well known for his piety, called on Gen.
Jackson-the conversation, against the
clergyman's wishes. turned upon the AN
exation of Texas. After variety of re-
marks, the ciergymen observed that he
was afraid lhatthe annexation would lead
to war with the European powers. Gen.
Jackson still persisted in pursuing this
favorite train of thought, when the fol-
lowing conversation ensued:
Clergyman-We should be careful,
General, how we involve the country in
war, because now that you have retired
from public life, we have no great mill
tary commander to take the Teld.
Gen. Jackson-We have commander
perfectly competent.
The clergyman expressing surprise
at tine confidence of Gen. Jackson's re-
mark, enquired where the people were
to look for that man?-The General un-
hesitatingly said

LOCOFOCO MASS MEETING.
Orators OF the Day.

We can give but glance at each Of
the speeches, made on last Wednesday
We will take them, not in the order OF
their merit, but as they were delivered.
First upon our notice comes that of the
late Colonel,
Geo. w. Morgan,
With Col. Morgan, we have nothing to
do. We seperate the soldier from the
politician. the hero from the demagogue.
Willing to award all merited praise to
what the gallantC Colonel did inMexico;ac-
knowledgng that he fought as we'll as 9th.
ersinthe service"f the country;that he de-
serves what need ofpraise is bestowed
upon him; that he faithfully canned the
$500 sword, which was given to him, as
every volunteer in the service has done;
that in every and allthings, when he was
called upon during his military career,
his conduct was right and proper
when we find him coming home to min
gle in political affairs, playing the
part of tho demagogue and slandering
better soldiers than himself, we sim
ply look at him, as he is, not as he
was, strip him of his epaulette, take from
him his title of Colonel, forget his sword, /,
and speak of him as plain Mister Morgan
and his speech as that Of Mister Morgan.

and Olds. and Manypeuny, in their pere-
grinations through the great and growing
State of Ohio. We can forgive the ora.
tor for his present course ambitious as
he is, now that wars dread alarms are
DER and military honors grow dim, he
must turn his attention to other matters
not quite so indigenous to the soil, upon
which his intellect has grown, and in the
absence of the best material to make
the man, he is compelled to adopt that
plan, SO easily pursued in these days of
party excitement, of making aoise, pa
triotic and popular statesman.
Mister Morgan's effort was not great
one. He told US that his health was bad
and that he was unable to do justice to
the subjects under consideration We
admit the apology. He told us that he
was plain, blunt soldier, unused to the
oily phrases ofrhetoric, and quite unable
to the task of making a smooth and elo-
quent speech. Again we admit the apollo.

wished them not to go away and say that
he slaNdered General Taylor, his old
Commander. Well to accommodate the
speaker we will not say so--we will
simply say what the orator said, and he
must not blame us. if the world should
think--if his old General should suppose
--thatthe phrases he used are at least
doubtful compliments. In what wehaye

The Cambria arrived, on last Saturday,
at New York from Liverpool. We are
indebted to the GAINESVILLE Courier for
telegraphic dispatches, containing intel.
ligence brought by her
lRELAND.-The rebellion has broken
out in this unhappy country, and we fear
that Young Ireland has been unable to
cope with her powerful adversary. The
first tencounter occurred nearMulinuhone,
with the police. The police retired to a
house and Bryan laid seige to them, but
was driven away by the cavalry. The
details are full Of skirmishes, but every.
where the Government has triumphed,
many persons have been arrested and the
Clubs dissolved. There are now $4,000
troops in Ireland under command ofLord
Hardinge. The Irish are yielding TO
stern necessity and if the news in the
Liverpool papers is correct, we fear thot
the leaders have proved less brave in acts
than in words.
FRANoE.-Lamartine has proved, be.
fore the investigation committee, that he
was not concerned in any outbreak. The
Assembly, by the decisive vote of 691 to
2, have rejected the plan of the Commu-
nists for seizing two-thirds of the land
lords incomes. The plan was consider
ed an odious attack upon the principles
ofpublic morality.
MIsCELLANEoUs.-The Danes have re-
newed the War with Prussia, all nego-
tiations having failed. Russia avows all
her military preparations to have teen
only defensive, and Prussia has rejected
the independence Of Posen and refused
to engage on the side of Poland. 1t is
rumored that theEmperor of Austria has
abdicated. Moldavia aud Wallacha
were still agitated The Turks have
landed at Galoese. Austria has officially
recognized the Queen ofSpain Portu-
gal is tranquil. 1t is said that France
will not interfere in the affairs of Italy.
The condition of Charles Albert is rep.
resented as hopeless. His ambassador
had formerly demanded the aid of the
French, which the despatch says is hope
less unless England joins in with her.
The news is important and the next ar
rival will be looked for with anxiety.

The Indiana EIection-Its Re.uI,.

For many reasons, says the Indianap-
oils State Journal, satisfactory to our own
minds, we have never expected maiori-
ty of Wings to be- elected to the next
Legislature. The floating represents
tlves are so apportioned this year as to
fall In strong Locofoco counties. Under
this arrangement. our opponents have
from ten to fifteen members the alvan-
tage. In the absence of the election of
any other thanRepresentative and minor
county officers, the same interest was not
felt by the Wings. and their whole
strength was not polled. Although the
Locofocos may, under the operation of
these causes, have majority ofmembers,
the aggregate vote Of the State will, we
believe, be fonnd to be Wing.
Whatever may have been the result,
however, let no supporter of Gen. Taylor
be discouraged there will be different
feeling abroad before next November, and
thousands who remained Indifferent, and
did not vote for Representatives, will
then be found at The polls ready to do all
ia their power for the election of the Old
Patriot. 1t is an admitted fault of the
Wing party that they do not sufficiently
regard minor elections, whilst the chief
virtue possessed by our opponents con-
sists IN going to the polls and always vo-
ting for the candidates of their party.
1t is by such means they frequently sue
ceed, although greatly in the minority.
Until the Wings learn to do likewise.
they deserve to be defeated.

Mr. Brodhead contended that it was
not in order to make two calls on the
President at the same time for the same
thing. The House had already called
on the executive for this very informa-
ton. Mr.. b. wanted time to prepare
an amendment to the resolution calling
for allowances made to other Governors
OF Territories.
MIR. Stewart said that this was only
call for vouchers; the other call had been
for the extra charges allowed; this was
for the vouchers by which they had been
supported.
The Chair said that no amendment
was in order, as the question was on sus-
pending the rules.
Mr.. Stewart demanded the yeas and
nays: which were ordered. and being ta-
ken, were-yeas 81, nays 81.
