10 the various accounts from the seat o.
war much is said concerning the Zouaves
who form the crack corps" Of the French
army. Capt. M'Clelland, formerly Of The
U. S. Cavalry, who is at present following
civil pursuits at Chicago, speaks Of these
troops in his report Of the Russian war, "a

say that this dress s the most convenient

war if war is to come" 1t says:

with all the tenacitv their justice anthorises
We shall stand firmly together without b; ing
appalled, by consequences, keeping ever in
sight our outraged national dignity. We do
not hesitate to say that this war. when il once
shall have begun, will undoubt' dly affect the
security of our neighbOring States, and that
to preserve their integrity and tranquility
they must not admit into their political
schemes sent ent of entire indifference TO
the attack made upon the Republic of Para

The Eighth Congregational District.

The claims of our fellow-townsman, R. c.
FOSTER, upon the American party, in connec-
ton with the nomination for Congress in this
District, are attracting increased attention,
and elicitiDg favorable expressions Of senti-
ment In various quarters. The commnnica-
ton to which we give place this morning,
from" Montgomery" contains bnt Just es-
innate of his worth. All know him to be
true man and a true Americana man in
whom the party can confde at all times. and
hence his nomination would give unbounded
satisfaction. We believe he would make the
District an able and efficient Representative
that all its interests would he looked after by
him. whilst the SOuth would find in him an
unflinching supporter Of her constitutional
rights; and fanaticism, whether of the North
or the South, vigilant and uncompromising
foe; and so believing, we take great pleasure
in expressing our desire, together with his
other friends, that the American standa d
shall be intrusted to his hands. With him as
. candidate, we should feel doubly armed for
the contest with sham Democracy.

Quack Lying.

Long before the days of Paracelsus, un-

his general most delightful heritage Of physi-
cal woe, was made the sore sport and victim

regard, very much improved since. A great

other quack, are thoroughly humbugged by
the quack of pill or Of potion. They give
implicit credence to the gibbrrish Of every
