FORESTS HAIR RESTORATIVE
This Restorative" which isadvertlsed
in our paper, is not In our opinion, to be
classed among the thousand and one
nostrums hawSed around the world as
certain cures for badness. From the
testimonials in support of its efficacy
which have been published, as we'll as
from evidence we have from other sour
ces, we are satisfied that it possesses
real merit, and is worthy of the atten-
ton of all who need such a remedy. We
know personally, that the letter pur-
porting to be from the great tragedlan,
Edwin Forrest, is genuine, and that he
attaches an importance to this prepa-
ration, not only as restorative but as a
preservative of the hair, which his letter
but family expresses. He points trl-
umphantly, even at sixty years OF age
TO his own restored and now fine growth
OF hair as demonstrative of the value
Of the Restorative 1t is worthy OF
fair trial. Sold by j. l.. w. Baker,
Druggist, Martinsburg,-S1 per bottle.

The PRESCRIBED CoNFEDERATEs. =
The New York Ne,rs argues that the
new constitutional amendment, even
if ratified, will fail to exclude from
Office the prominent Confederate Of
ficers Mt whom it is aimed. The
points are these: First The operation
Of the amendment must be prospect
i've, or else it would conflict with the
spirit Of that other provision os the
Constitution which forbids the pas
sage of &c post .fucto laws There is
something in this point, but We
should not like to rely upon it, The
second, however, is better. 1t is,
that the parties to be prescribed must
first have been convicted of having
"engaged in insurrection or rebel
hon." before they could be excluded
from Office.

GESTLEslEN: In grateful commemo-
ration of the heroism of the noble
dead, who fell in defence of our CITY.
l respectfully solicit permission to
erect upon the mound in the centre
of Bienville Square, a marble monu-
ment, thirty feet in height, bearing a
brief inscription in honor of the
faithful standard bearers OF our lost
cause; IN ''DaeDaOrn6ilio, whose mar
bic lips shall whisper to every pass
ing stranger, si1e riHot. The dis
tance and seclusion OF the spot
appropriated as the ''soilier's rest, :"
have been deemed valid objections to
the erection of monument in the
city cemetery, and all who have mani
tested an interest in this last and
most Inadequate tribute to our fallen
countrymen, concur in the opinion
that, If raised in Bienville Square, it
would furnish grateful in menaOriu,n,
which would ornament and hallow
the site selected. A brazen Belgiuue

WHAT WILL FRANCE Do?-Thec coi-
lapse Of the Paris Peace Conference
owing to the stubbornness of Austrai-
can scarcely fail to wound the onuo,1,.
pa'oprioe of the Emperor Napoleon.
whose pet project it was from the
start. Evidently His French Majesty
expected to turn the Congress to ac-
count, In SO for as it might obtain
from him q reputation as grand
pacificator. He was to preside over
It's deliberations in person-and to his
Minister of State, NJ. de PHuys, was
to be committed the duty of entertain
ing its august members. In fact,
some Of the imperial organs, never
doubling that Austria, ike Barkis,
was ''willin'," had commenced dis
counting the thing in advance. They
had begun to talk of the decline of
British influence on continental
politics, In contrast with the ever
shadowing prestige of France, which
could thus at pleasure make peace or
war. These felicitations, it is now
seen, were of brief duration. The
Emperor's efforts have not met with
their predicted success, and the pres
tige of France, great as it undoubted4
ly Is, is not sufficiently potent to have
any particular influence with thaAnuse
Of Hapsburg, even at this crisis in its
destiny. In all human probability,
however, the result will be, anon, to
add one more to the list of Austria's
enemies. The Emperor Napoleon
will no doubt watch his opportunity
nursing nj wrath to. keep it
warm-as the VIZ goes on; and if,
ultimately, the Court of Vienna has
no reason to regret the snnbbinsmit
has given him, in the face of all E6-
rope, then We know nothing at All OF
the character of the man.

The European War.

The European War.
A Southern gentleman now resid=
ing in Stuttgart, Germany, is a regus
lar correspondent of the Southern
Christian Adrocate. AS he appears to
be good observer, and has excellent
opportunities for hearing and seeing
what is going on, we copy the follow
ing extract from his last letter, writ
ten Oh the 18th of May. He says:
I see very nearly the same scenes
transacting around and about me
that saw in Georgia in 1861; camps
being established; drilling of recruits; !;
railroad trains Of troops hurried to
and fro; horses being pressed into
service; young men of twenty to
twenty-six being torn from their stu
atoms and families to fight for
what? Ah, there is the difference!
The Southern soldiers went to fight
for principle, for independence, and
became patriots, heroes; whilst the
German soldier is forced into service,
and most reluctantly seizes his arms
against his brethren to fight for r
chimera.
The war Is most unpalatable among
all classes Of pcople-merchants, ma
nufacturers and bankers, whose busi-
ness is already bitterly suffering
mechanics, farmers, soldiers and-the
women. The most opposite efforts
are continually being made at Berlin
to preserve peace still at the last mo-
ment; but the authorities seem to be
doomed to a fatal blindness, for they
do not show yet the least disposition
to listen to the sober, well-meant ad-
vices of reason. Arrogance, greed
for annexation, the fancicd certainty
OF having the prey in their clutches,
are too deeply rooted there. The
Prussian Cabinet does not even
shrink from the fearful responsibility
of conluring upa general European
war, with oil its horrors and ruinous
consequences to national prosperity
and individual happiness. The kings
own family-with the exception of
two or three princes commanding
some corps i'll the army and political
fanatics-arc for peace
The queen, the Queen-mother, the
Princess Royal and Queen Victoria
have used their utmost exertions to
induce the King to change his course.
In vain! Even the Emperor Of Rus
sia has va:nly urged that. in case Of
an outbreak, he would side with Aus
trim. With the exception of IL few
miniature principalities, hedgcd in
by the Prussian monarchy, the whole
of Germany stands arraved in arms
against the latter, which has no other
open sympathizcr and ally than Italy.
England and Russia are opposed to
war; hence. under certain circum-
stances, rather against instead of for
Prussia. France will hardly advo-
cate an aggrandizement of Prussia.
Napoleon will. therefore, ut farthest,
content himself with Intervening, in
the course of the war, to secure his
own spoils and the lions share. New
elections for the Prussian House of
Representative have been ordered,
and it remains to be seen whether the
Chambers will vote the million of
treasure and men that this fratricidal
war demands, or protest against such
proofs OF loyalty.

only barrier against dsspotism left to
them and the whole people of the
South. s
Edueation aos fhe zercca People.

This subject is at present claiming
the sttention, and, We think, iyery
properly, of some of our Southern
papers and citizens of other States
of the South. It is but reasonable
to suppose that in time tn freedmen
viii be so identified with our inte-
rests, political and material, that it
will be of the utmost Importance
they should be educated, and thus
rendered competent to contribute to
the development of the resources OF
the country, with much more force
and effect than they could in q state
Of ignorance.
But this education should be con-
Quoted and supervised by those
among whom they were born and
raised, and with whom, even now,
in their new condition of freedom,
they have strong sympathies and
attachments. In process of time,
and especially If we are to be govern
ed by the ultraists of the North, these
people may attain to the exercise OF
ell the rights of citizenship. Each
State is its own judge i'll this matter,
and whenever a State feels that her
laborers or peasantry-the freed
men-are properly qualified by edu-
cation and otherwise, the franchise
will doubtless be conferred upon
them.
But independent of this considera-
ton, how much moro valuable will
educated labor be than that of igno-
rance. And a proper system of edu-
cation, expressly for this people, in
troduced into our present free school
system, will strengthen their sympa-
thies and increase the ties of that ma
tural community of interest, which
must be perfect to retrieve the for
tunes and develop the wealth of the
South.
