THE CONGRESS OF GERMAN
PRINCES.

The meeting of the German Princes at Frank
fort dcseryedly engages the attention OF the en-
tire European press. For, to those who are not
altogether unaequainted with the process oil
transformation through which all Europe Is now
passing, it must appear as most significant
Sign Of the time Ii hastcns the time when one
Of the knottiost European questions-that OF Ger
man nationality-will demand practical solu'
ton; and how this solution can be effected
without shaking the whole European State sys-
TEN, AZ arranged by the Congress OF Vienna, no
European statesman even pretcnds to ioresee.
The call for the Congress and its meeting have
taken Europe rather by surprise. 1t was known
that the Austrian Government was IN favor oil
reformation Of the Federal Constitution, for it
had proposed some months ago rctormatory
scheme at the Diet. II was further known that
Austria had been greatly encouraged in her In
tcntions by the despair of tho national party in
Northern and Central Germany to prevail upon
Prussia to assume the leadership. The recent
visit of the Duke Of Sake Coburg the only Ger
man Prince beside the Grand Duke Of Baden
who was looked upon as being in favor OF
liberal scheme Of reform, at the Court OF Vienna
led to belief that new move OF Austria
might be expected. Yet, AZ far as we have
seen, meeting Of all tho princes was never
limited at in the German papers, and the Con
gress, therefore, appears altogether as surprise
a.arty.
Tho promptness and unanimity with which
the German princes have responded to the invi-
tation Of Austria is remarkable, and the best
proof how necessary it IL in their opinion to

Two Kinds of Pride.

Pride is an excellent thing in it's place.
Its object is to insure self-respect which
will deter the individual from doing that
which is degrading. So far pide is honor
able. But when pride promps man to re-
fuse to labor for subsistence, it is disgrace
ful. 1t mistakes its vocation In such case.
For labor degrades nobody. Industry is al
ways commendable. 1t becomes the rich as
we'll as the poor. 1t supplies want In our
nature. Bnt especially is it obligatory upon
him whose living is earned by the 'sweat Of
his brow" Especially then is 1t exalting.--
To supply our own needs; to make those
We love happy by our exertions; to increase
the comforts that surround US; 10 this man

The French Army.

The distribution and strength OF the
French army. according TO official statis-
tics recently published, is as follows:
The army, with the exception Of GER
tain troops on foreign service, is now on
what is called the peace footing. and con.
sists OF 412 900 men and 200 horses.--
There are two reserves that may be called
in at a moments notice, one Of old sold
iers and another OF young ones the la;-
ter not yet Incorporated, but almost ready
TO be dismissed from drill. These additions
would bring the army up to between 6o0,-
OUO and 100000 men.
The $4,000 mer are thus distributed
In Mexico. two divisions of infantry and
a brigade Of cavalry, DC, together nearly
34, 600 men; in Cochin China, |, 600 men
| These troops are on n war footing On
what is called the footing of rosSem5lement
is the corps Of occupation at Rome. about
200 men in one division OF three brig.
AIDES. with few squadrons of cavalry.
On the peace footing, divided into divis-
ions and brigades, are the army OF Paris,
the army Of Lyons, and the division of
cavalry Of Luneville, consisting of four
regiments.
There is also at Paris what is called
reserve brigade, specially allotted to the
garrison oi the Capital ard which never
leaves it. These two armies and the Lune-
vile division, may be reckoned at forty
thousand men. The imperial Guard forms
special corps. with total Of 81, 900 men.
The remainder OF French army is distrib
ted in six great corps, five in France and
one in Algeria. Formerly there were gen
orally IS, 900 or 10000 men in Algeria
but just now there are not SO many, sever.
al regiments having been sent thence to
M, xice. The troops in Algeria may be
divided into two classes-French corps,
which remain there in garrisons for Ger.
tain number OF years and then return 20
France; and what are called indigenous
corps, which never quit the colony except
for fighting purpose. In these latter corps
however there are a great number OF Eu-
ropenns. They consist OF three regiments
OF Zouaves, three Turcos, three OF Chas-
seurs d. Antique and three Of Shahis-

thousand horses. Besides these there

Shaw, of the 54th Massachusetts regiment.

ject in writing is to say that such efforts are
not authorized by mo or any of my family,
and that they are not approved by us We
hold that a soldser's most Appropriate bury

F. G. Sha,o, Esq, Clifton, Staten Island,

SIR: have just received your letter ex-
pressing the disapprobation of yourself and
family at any efforts to recover the body Of
your son, the late Col. Shaw, of the 54th
Massachusetts volunteers buried in Fort
Wagner, and requesting me to forbid any
desecratiou of his grave, or disturbance of
his remains. ...
Had IL been possible to obtain the body
of Col. Shaw Immediately after the battle
in which he lost his life. should have sent
it to his friends, in Difference to a sentiment
which know to be widely prevalent among
the frionds of those who fall in battle, al.
though the practice is one to which my own
judgment has never yielded assent.
The views expressed in your letter are so
copgepial to the truest instincts of a soldier
as to command rot only my cordial sympa-
thy, but my respect and admiration. Surely
no restingplace for your sou could be found
moro fitting than the scene where his cour-
age and devotion were so conspicuously dis
played. ......... ... .....
beg to avail myself of the opportunity
to express my deep sympathy for yourself
and family in their great bereavement. and
to assure you that on no authority less than
your own shall your sous remains be dis.
