The Wounds Caused by the Chassepot
Mitrailieuse and NeetiIegun.

a Prusslan correspondent writes
thus:
AS regards the general character OF
the wounds, it may be said that those
inflicted by the French balls are vast.
ly more dangerous than those ofours
The ball of the needlegan being long.
er d conical shaped tends to separ-
ate the tissues, and, the wound in con-
sequence shows better tendency tC
heal. The Chassepot bullets being
round-shaped, tear the tissues, and
driven bya great mass of powder
they break and crack the bones IN
their path.
The same Is the effect of the mi
trailluse, and an enormous amount
of serious wounds Is caused by the
French tacticso of greeting the enemy
with a hail-storm of lead. The spots
of ground from which the French
fire are once known by their being
covered with cartridges. Our army
composed of Hessian, Saxon and
Prussian regiments, lost on August
IS, 20, 900 In Killed and wounded, and
the French are said to have lost TO-.
900 men, SO that this murlerous
battle involved loss of 10000 men
The scene on the battle field on The
following day was most terrible
heaps of dead covering the ground
The corps charged with performing
the Office of grave-diggers had harC
work for three days. Our disposition o
medical and sanitary arragement'
proved to be very good, forno wound
ed men lay for any length of time
upon the ground without aid.

Poor Cuba.

Not alone do the passions OF men
continue to devastate the fair face of
the Gem of the Antilles; the ele-
ments seem to conspire to utterly
ruin lovely but unhappy Cuba. De-
tails of the terrible hurricane that
swept over the island short time
ago, give an appalling picture of the
loss of life and property which it en-
tailed, especially at Matanzas, where
nearly 400 houses were swept away.
and iS2 bodies have been found aud
buried. The pe3uniary damage Is
estimated at $1,000, ,00O. Besides the
dead, there are many missing, and
reports that there must have been at
least 1000 swept seaward. Among
the most horrible features of the cal
amity was the uprooting and sweep
ing away of II cemetery and the scat
tering of the corpses through the ad-
jacent country. The San Juan and
Tumuri Valleys were swept clean of
every living thing, and the people
carried away amid the wrecks of their
dwellings. A piano was picked up
at sea fourteen miles from Natanzas,
and many bodies were seen and some
persons saved by vessels Mt sea. The
bridge Of Baited, magnificent struc-
ture over the San Juan, not far from
its mouth, costing 100000 was de-
stroyed. The bridge over the Tumuri
leading to Versailles, was also wash
ed away. The San Luis bridge near
the Havana railroad station still
stands, though much damaged. A
passenger train arrived at the depot
of the Havana and Matanzas rail-
road just before the overflow took
place. The depot, engine, train, pas
Sengers aud employees, all disappear
I'd IN the food. Thousands of horses,
cattle and other animals perished,
and the damage to shipping is very
great. In Car,lenas and vicinity the
loss is nearly S2,0O0,00O, and the
smaller villages have nearly all the
houses wrecked.

To the People of the south.

The udcrsigned earnestly appeal to
the people of the whole South TO aid
them in obtaining contributions for
the erection of n monument at Rich
mond, which Is to stand rs n lasting
memorial of the love borne our great
Chief 10y a mourning and grateful
people. The soldiers, through their
resolutions passed at their great meet
ing so lately held in Richmond, in
honor of General Lee, have called
upon us to join them In collecting
contributions for the desired object. -
An organization for that purpose has
been already formed by the UNDER
signed, and to the people Of the South
from Maryland to Texas-we APP
peal for aid.
1t Is proposed that the 4th Sunday
In Novemb Der (the 27th) be observed
AS memorial day throughout the
South, and every congregation, Chris
tian and Hebrew make their contri-
buttons for this object. This Is the
only possible way by which a volun-
tary and simultaneous offering can
be made to the memory of him whom
we would honor in death a. we have
honored him in lie. With perfect
confidence in the love which his peo-
pie bore him, and In their zeal to do
that which, in honoring him most
rebound to their own credit, we have
no doubt of the success of this plan II
1t can be brought directly to the no
tice Of every clergyman and congre-
cation in the South and that this
may be accomplished, we call upon
you to assist us. Let the committees
which have been appointed for each
State act promptly and with vigor.-
Let them urge, that on the fourth
Sunday in November, each member
of every family should go to church
with that sum, small or great, which
their means will allow them to dedi.
cate to this sacred object. Clergy
men are respectfully requested to noti-
and remit to the Secretary.
TO those clergymen and congrega'
tions who object to collecting for such
an object on the sabbath, we would
suggest that they should appoint some
suitable day in this month when a
meeting of their congregation should
he held and the collection taken up. In
those cases where it is impossi
BILE to make collections on November
81, let it be done rs soon thereafter n.
practicable.
Let it be remembered that thi'
monument Is to be raised by the
whole South that it is to be one tC
which, Us a people, we may poin
proudly, and to which generations fol
ages to come shall look up to with re
spect for he love which defeated
people could bear to great but faller
hero. Should each of the $4,000 con
gregations scattered throughout the
South contribute but u trifling sum,
what monument could be reared !
Let each man, woman and child
then, give what they can, regardless
of how small or how great the sun
may he.
All contributions must be sent tc

shall we have "a Female Bible?

The Bible has been a stumbling
block to great many reformers oi
the ultra sort. At this moment Ii
stands in the way of Mrs. Cady STAN
ton and Miss Susan B. Anthony, and
their friends of the extreme Woman's
Rights movement. The command,
Wives, subject yourselves to your
husbands" Is particularly obnoxious
to them, and resolution was adopt
cd the other day 10y the Woman's
Suffrage Association explicitly repu-
dating the obligation. 1t was de-
clared that the behest in question
"should be thrown aside with the
exploded therories of kingcraft and
slavery embodied iu the injunctions,
" Honor the King" and " Servants
obey your masters" Mrs. Stanton,
indeed, took broader round. She
did not waste her words on isolated
texts, but boldly demanded revision
Of the Scriptures, with special refer
ence to the views she advocates.
Moses she tied to Montcsquieu, and
then threw both overheard, com
planning that "men had invariably
translated the Bible hitherto" and
contending that 'if women were now
allowed to try their hand, we should
have another and an improved yer
sion" st. Paul, we feal, would then
share the fate marked out for Moses.

A YOUNG lady at n fashionable
dinner party pestered DIR. johnson
with a conundrum-a thing which
the bluff old philosopher utterly dis
liked. 4" Why Is the letter j like the
end of spring doctor?" or course
the doctor couldn't tell. Because
its the beginning of June" was the
solution. "Now miss, will you tell nae
why the letter X Is like "A pigs tail?"
The young lady had to give up

The doctor was troubled no more

Here we have all the States but
two-Mississippi and Texas--the one
giving seven electoral votes and the
other six, the seven being hardly
more positively good for the Repub-
licans than the six are for the Demo
crats. 1t thus appears, then, that
from our latest elections the Presi-
dental electoral vote of the United
States Is Democratic. This exhibit
Is startling. The Republican party
is evidently demoralized, if not dis
organized. In the height of it's pow
or it appears to be somewhat in the
weakened condition of France, or
like the mighty Samson shorn of his
locks of strength. Over local squnb-
bles or factious divisions the party
has lost North Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee and Missouri; and from
the stupid feud between the Fenton
and the Conkling factions it has fail
ed to recover New York and from
incompetent or lazy local leaders il
has failed to recover Maryland or Del

the colorcd vote, and has failed to
make any headway in Kentucky.

Important salts Affecting the South.

During the month of Decem Der
next the United States Supreme Court
will be called upon to decide three ca
ses Of more than ordinary interest
The first, involving the constitution
ality of the Cotton Tax, which is a
question of much interest to the peo-
pie of the South, will I've argued by
Judge Curtis and Mr.. Everett against
the Government. The second is also
of interest to large class of persons
in the Southern States, as involving
the constitutionality of the confisca-
ton acts passed by Congress during
the war. This case will be argued by
Judges Curtis and Cushing against
the United States. The third comes
up on writ of error from the State
of Kentucky, and involves the con-
stltutionality of the civil rights bill,
the case being that of white man
who was tried i'm United States
court for the murder of negro
Judge Black appears against the Gov
eminent In this case, and will CON
tend on behalf of the appellant that
IL is unconstitutional to try the citi-
zen Of State for murder in Il United
States court when the State courts
are competent to exercise jurisdiction
in such cases. 1t is seldom that three
cases of so much importance appear
together upon the docket, and their
decision will be awaited with more
than ordinary interest.
