of troops called the Odiack. composed Of
Turks, by whose bravery and prowess the
Deys of Algiers were enabled to overawe
their Arab subjects and defy the feeble, au.
thority OF the Sultan, to whom they owed
sort of allegiance. Upon the overthrow of
the Deys and the commencement of the con-
quest of Algeria by the French, in 1880. the
Odjacks offered their services to the French
commander, but he declined the offer, and
they left the country. Learning afterwards
the fear which the Arabs had of the Odjacks.
the French Marshal. Clausel, conceived the
plan OF forming body of troops to perform
like services, and to receive name as sig.
nlficant. Consequently they were called
Louaves. from the Arab tribe or tribes Zou.
AQUA, who inhabit the gorgesA Of the Jurjura
Mountains, and are a brave, nerce. laborious
people. They had the name of being the
best soldiers in the regency, and their name
was therefore given to the new force. To
give it the character of a French corps, the
number of natives received into its ranks was
limited, and all its officers were Frenchmcn.
None were received into its ranks but volun
teers, and Of these there was an abundance.
SO attractive to daring spirits was the peril.

the apologist of that or any other statesman
We confess that we like the man, and espe-
cially his last declaration of principle in re-
gard to Charleston. But we hold ourselves
wholly free to differ from and to oppose him,
should he take such a course as would rem

will go to Charleston and have him nomina-
ted on his own platform, We will follow the
lead Of the States in his support like faith

this effort, and another man, and another
