THE NEW FRENCH BREEcH-LoADINa RIFLE AND
MILITARY CosTUME.-The London Daily Ne,os' cor
respondent writing from the camp at Chalons,
says: ..-

which has been decided upon as the future fire.
arm of the French infantry. 1t s an admirable
weapon The bore is about tho same as our long
Enfield. The breech is opened by the most simple
method, and should say was next to impossible to
get out of order The barrel is pulled away, as it
were, from the person who holds it, and pulled
back in an instant. 1t can be loaded and fired witl,
times in minute. The bayonet it will have is to
be the sword bayonet, the same now used by
the Chasseurs a Pied and the Zouaves.
new hcad-dress is also about to be issued -, to
same make, shape and height as that worn by Lord
Ronelagh and the South Middlesex Volunteers; but
it is made of scarlet cloth, and is most comforta-
BILE and convenient to wear. With this and the
scarlet knickerbockers, the lengthy leggings, and
| the loose blue tunic, the Emperor has certainly
managed to make his infantry of the line the best
dressed in Europe and they will certainly be the
best armed with the new breeeh-loaders they arc
now to have.

A HIississippian's Spccch-IIe goes In for
Jones County.

One sturdy man in the mississippi State Conycn-
ton delegate named Crawford, from Jones
county made his mark as IN original talkcr.
One of his speeches was rs follows:
'sMr President Sir: have come up here to
express the feelins of my constituents on the
my constituents where como from. People hoot
and wink up tho streets, and say, 'thsre goes
judices; I am disposed to treat my enemies in a
more Christian, q more missionary spirit than
| they treated mo. am q mossy-back, sir, and
stand here to-day to represent the county Jones,
| otherwise known as the free State of Jones'.
'sBut let not people think to insult me with i'm
punity. love a dog for his faithfulness, but the
county of Jones, the free State of JONES' seeded
from Mississippi Yes, sir, We did seccde from the
Confederacy, i:l and sir we fought them like dogs
asses-yea, like asses, siriI My people down there
in the county of Jones did, in their sovereign ca
pacity, did sccede, and did become mossy- y-backs,
sir. We did fight them like dogs and will kill them
like hellions-like hellons, say, sir But didn't
come up here to gas, sir, and surrender my
rights to the floor, sir, expressing only the one
sentiment, that stand up for tho county of Jones
in general yes sir, am for Jones all tho time"
At another time, referring to the opposition to
| the Constitutional Amendment because it lid not
provide for compensating slavc-owners, Mr..
CRAWFORD said:
'The principle OF the opposition to the Sec
ton introduced i'll tho report Of the committee
seems to be remuneration. I agree to that
amendment, were it broad enough, but in the
essential all the proyiscs fall short. These
provisos have only aimed at tho remuneration
to certain classes who hsyo heretofore been the
owners of African savts, while I, Mr.. Prcsi-
dent, represent women and children Of the Can-
casian race whose crics are now ascending in
my down-trodden county for bread. Yes, sir, in
my suffering county of jones' today, the walls OF
three hundred and eighty widowed women and
shirt-tail children arc descending before the God
of right, and appealing in tears to the powers ap-
pointed for relief; yet, u tho midst Of these facts,
it appears that the entire sympathies of this body
are directed to that cl ss who are prcsumptiycly
suffering from the passage of tho section under
consideration. lapel, in honesty, to this con-
vention to remember thc white race, and not to
be wholly absorbed in he African.
