REORGANIZATION OF THE FRHNCI,
ARMY.

our last adVices from Europe bring the in
| telligence TINT the Commission of the Corps
Lcgislatif (what we should call the committee
on military affairs), have agreed to the project
OF the Government for the reorganization Of
tho army. The following are the principal
features Of the new Jaw proposed:
The military forces Of the empire is compos-
ed Of two olacses-1. The army proper; and, O.
The National Guard (La Garde Nationais Mo-
6ae)' species Of reserve corps. A special en-
actment Of the Legislature is necessary before
tho latter can be called out, while tho former
is under the command Of the Emperor, always
/ Immediately subject TO his orders This army
is to consist Of 5000 men; and IL is this fig
ure which has 30 long been the subject of dis
pute between the Government and the Commis-
sion. 100000 men will thus always be at the
| disposal Of tho Government, and these will be
| composed Of enlisted men, of re-enIisted. and
OF those furnished by the annual contingents OF
| conHcripts. The term Of service in tho actiyo
army is FIVE years, and four years in the re-
| serve.
The law does not, however, enrol eyery
young man of the age Of 81. The Corps Legis.
latif determines the contingent eyory year,
specifying the number Of recruits required TO
fill up the ranks. This Is, in fact, the law now
In almost every country in Europe, where con-
soription obtains. by the perfect machinery
OF internal police, oil over Continental Europe,
tho number Of men who have attained their
2lst year, In any given district or commune, is
| accurately known. All who ara declared un-
able to do military service from physical disn-
| bility, are at onco exempted. The remainder
draw lots, the losers being those who draw low
numbers, to the extent Of the contingent,
The others ore "free." This Is the old usage.
The new French law divides the annual CON.
tingent into Two portions, one Of which is in.
corporatod with tho active army, and the other
with tho reserve. The active army Is thus
composed Of enlisted, re-enlistcd, and the Arst
part Of the contingent: the army Of reserve Is
composed ofthe second part of the oontin esnt.
and mostly Of young men, who have four years
Of service before them. There is thus deeid-
cd difference between the Prench and tho Prus.
aian system, whore the reserve or landwehr,
In Its leading features much more nearly re.
sembles She militia system Of this country, only
that tho landwehr have much superior training.
herring all been soldiers frat for three years
In tho regular army.
Another feature Of the old regime is abolish.
Cd, which, We believe, never was In use In the
fru'sian army, viz: tho privilege Of paying a
certain sum to tho Treasury In lieu Of military
service. Under the new system, tho rich and
inc poor Will be on the same footing. Marrl-
age remains forbidden In The active army, but

DR.. Eugene Grissom is one of the gentle

to disorganize and destroy the Republican

this noble-hearted patriot, that he was salts
fed with the action of the late Republican
State Convention. and that it was his fixed
purpose to continue to act with the Republic

NEW LIGHT, n c., Oct. 10, 1857.
MY DEAR SIR:-Your favors of the 9Th
and 9Th inst, came to hand by yesterdays
mail.
am conscious of no word or deed by
which my fidelity to Republican principles
can be called in question. I should rejoice
at an early reconstruction of the Union with
out confscation in any form, and with the
speedy restoration to the privileges of citi-
zenship of all loyal men without regard to
political antecedents. I am unable to find
any thing in the resolutions or platform Of
the late Republican Convention endorsing
confscation or further Acknowledgement;
and I can but regard multiplicity of po-
litical issues as damaging to the prospects of
an early union. I therefore declined the
use of my name to proposed Address to the
people of North Carolina, written, sup
pose, by Mr.. Pool. 90
Give my compliments to Gov. Holden
The personal and vindictive manner in which
he is assailed by his opponents. will endear
him the more to all fair-minded and liberal
persons. ga .
am with high regard, ..s,..a
Yours truly,
EUGENE GRISSOM.
