COMMUNICATION.


MousE CREEK, January 10, 1855.
Editor Pos. From correspondence
with the Major General Of this Division
Through friend) think he considered our
military system obsolete, and was not dis
posed to make any further attempt to bring
it into use. Laterly have understood thai
he has resigned without having issued writ>
of election for Brigadier in our Brigade
1t seems that the people are tired of muster
ing, and can not, therefore, use any further
influence TO revive it, against their will and
wish.
Considering this, If you please, no go, suf-
fer me TO say to the citizens OF MeAllnn
county, through your columns, that expect
to be candidate at the ensuing election to
represent them in the representative branch
of the next Legislature of this State.
When first understood that the attempt
would be made, in the ensuing canvass, to
return delegation favorable TO the passage

had little thought, in reality, of such thing.
But owing to many remarks made about me
relative to this matter, | feel much prompted
to enter the canvas that my sentiments may
be fully known, believing that when both
sides of this much agitated question is fairly
laid before the people, they have the intelli.
gence, the wisdom, and the nerve, to vote
upon it rs will most likely be right. / hope
the friends of Prohibtory Law will not
have two strings to their bow. BY this
mean, not to have one candidate for the law,
for better or for worse, and another for Il law
leaving it to the people. The fairest way is
to have but two candidates-one for and one
against t-and leave it to the people at once
without the cost of cgslatng upon it before
hind. have my eye upon the movements,
and will be heard from again at suitable
time. Respectfully,

"FoRNEYIsM IS. EoREIGNISM."

The American Organ, at Washington, fur
nishes us with rich article under this signili-
cant heading. The Organ states positively
that GRUND, the foreigner who tried FIVE
times in one day to poll an illegal vote, has
in his possession President Pierce'S letter Of
appointment TO the COnSulship al MGrSeiLtes,
directed 10 Secretary Marcy! This letter was
given TO him in payment of his services in
bolstering up the fallen fortunes of Piercr's
doomed Administration, which, rs the WASH
ington correspondent Of two widely. circulat
ed daily papers, the Baltimore san and Phia-
phia Ledger, he has attended TO faithfully
and has, therefore, been pnnctual to his
part of the bargain, and earned his wages; but
now the President, instigated by Forney, re.
fuses to fulfil his promise. The Organ re-
marks of this exceedingly rich dish of Pierce
ism and Foreignism:
CAS- between Mr.. GRIND on one side and
M,ssrs Forney and Pierce on the other, we
are free to say that if the facts be true, as

General InteHigence.-fhe chief event of
the week WAS Louis Napoleon's speech to the
French Chambers, which was very warlke in

peace, and concluded by asking loan OF
500,O00,00O francs, which was unanimously
voted.
No change had taken place in the attitude
of Austria or Prussia.
An important meeting of the Representa-
lives Of the Five Powers had been held ut
Vienna, but the result had not transpired.
Affairs before Sebastopol were unchanged.
The Russians continued to make sorties, and
three had taken place from the city and one
from the harbor. The Allies had received

The weather was more favorable.
The British Foreign Enlistment Bill had

you never discovered any thing very dread

they are following in the footsteps of the
parties that have gone before, and will share
their fate. The difficulty in Baltimore, how.

Private letters from Sebastopol, reeeiv-
ed in l'aris, gives most unfavoraLle picture
OF the prospects of the siege. The Russians
do not lose point in the game of war; and
are displaying the most extraordinary energy
and activity in their efforts to defeat tire ad-
vances Of the besiegers. They have employed
the time gained by the partial suspension Of
the siege operations in preparing such re-
reception for them as will render the issue Of
an assault extremely doubtful One of these
letters goes so far as to state that although tho
engineering works have arrived at a point
which enables the allies to say that they can
enter when they please they dare not stir
foot in presence Of the terrific obstacles which
they will have to encounter.

the First and Ninth, the Know Nothing tick
cts were very generally defeated. The total

tV- The Foreign Mercenary Bill, passed
by the House of Parliament authorizing the
employment Of from 10000 to 10000 for
egners for the Army, is regarded as evidence
that the recruiting power of England is ex-
haustcd. Australia and emigration to Ameri-
ca have carried off pretty nearly all the popu-
lation out of which England used to recruit
her armies. That this employment of for
e'gners arises from an actual deficiency Of
lighting men, is, says the Phila. Ledger shown
by another fact-the standard for the infantry
has been reduced to five feet four inches.-
England cannot supply her armies with native
troops without drawing from her industrial
population, which would not only cripple her
resources, but injure her manufacturing in.
duslry, so that she could scarcely hope to
compete successfully with nations not borne
down by the burdens of long and disastrous
war; This is why England wants all the
German powers TO unite against Russia. She
feels her own inability alone to humble
power like Russia, capable of bringing Il mil
lion of fighting men into the field. The act
for the employment of these foreign troops
provides that they shll not be employed in
the united kingdom, except for the purposes
of being trimmed and prepared for the army,
and that not more than 10000 shall be within
the kingdom at any one time.
