The Free Germans are an organised body

foreigners have banded themselves together for
the aceomp shment Of reforms, political social
and religious.

which is of the most comprehensive scope. en-.

II seems thut these two restless and giraffe
spirits have at last gone over TO the Democratic
party. II will be rocollected that in 1852 they
repudiated the nomination of Cen Scott and &C
cupied position wi armed neutrality in the
Presidential contest of that ycer. More recent
ly they organ..d a Iariy of their own in Geor-
gia and ran candidate Mr. nkins, forGoy-
ernor, who was beaten by the Democratic nomi.

we have heard but little respecting the party

casional Illumination against the free soil ap
poin,ments OF Mr.. Pierce. But ever since the
last Presidential election, have been expect
ing ia hear of their joining the Democracy and
we only wopder that they have been SO late in
doing
we question very much, however, whether
the Democratic party will find very valuable
aequis.i;un in these new recruits. The petrol

never fail to make their mark the history of
the times The campaign speeches Of these
gentlemen, particularly those Of Mr. Toombs
contributed powerfully 10 the success of the
Wings in the Presidential election of ls4s.-
But the triumph had hardly teen won before
Toombs and Stephens set themselves at work
TO break up the party which they had so mate.
rally assisted in bringing into power. They
put the finishing stroke to this disorganizing. poll
Southern Wing members of Congress for repudi.
ating the nomination of Gen. Scott. This step
taken at most critical period probably decided
the election in favor of Pierce. The boiling of
some dozen Southern Wing members of Con
gress, headed by Toombs and Stephens operated
like bombshell in the ranks of the Wing party
Moth and South, and we have always believed
that this movement contributed more materially
than any other occurrence ofthe canvass to the
defeat Of the Wing nominee.
The Democracy may congratulate themselye,
on the accession of these two talented and nhu
entail Wings. bu. if Toombs and Stephens shall
infict upon their new allies only one half tht
trouble and mischief they formerly inflicted upo,
the Wings, whilst belonging TO that party, the
Democracy will have precious little cause T.
boast of their new champions. Judging from
the past history of the men. venture to pre-
dict that the two Georgia fre-eaters will YER
soon assume to dictate the policy of the Demo
cratic party, and failing in thut will kick up
row in tho camp.

IMPROVEMENT OF SMALL ARMs.-The expert
ence in the present war in Europe of the SUPERB
GRITTY of the Mimic rifle, has induced our govern
ment TO order. at the National Armores, an al
teration of the old Hsrper's Ferry rife to the
Mimic principle and arranging them for sword
bayonets. The Washington Star says the arms
itself underooes no change. except the sight
which has to be arranged for long distances, from
100 to 1000 yards, the great difference in the
range being due altogether to the manner of pre-
pairing the ammunition, The elongated ball,
adopted for service differs from the Mimic ball,
but the principle is the same, the ball being ex-
panded to fill the grooves of the barrel by the ex
plosion of the charge.
