THE ARMS OF PRECISION.

What the. General designated as Die
arms of precision had changed the
whole character of modern war, and he
feared that the French had not suffi-
GENTLY accommodated themselves to
the important and radical innovation
made in small arms. Their fayorite
idea of attacking in close column, and
carrying the field with a rush, was good
in former circumstances; brilliant; 4;
supplied the two conditions of physical
momentum and moral inspiration
all that.

THE DOOMED CITY.

We have rarely read a more touching
narrative than the Paris letter, which we
print in another column, describing the
panic and terror whic seem to have come
upon the Parisians, when they began to
realize, for the first time, that they are
shut in from the outside world aslf by an
impenetrable wall of German steel and
fire. They seem to have never had a
moments doubt, says the New York En-
press, that with the constant assurances
from Gen. TrOchu that the city was i'm
preguable they could '1augh a siege TO
scorn;" but when the enemy recently
came in sight, and the last gate was shut.
they seemed for the first time
TO realize their real condition
And now feeling like to terror and des-
pair-with fearful apprehensions of worse
things to come-has taken possession of
them. The letter to which we refer was
written yesterday week-but a fort
night previous there must have been with
in some of them, at least, keen awaken
ing to sense of the coming peril-or we
would not read as follows, in letter dat
ed Sept. 8:
If the defence should really be pushed
TO such desperate eXtremities as are snok-
en- OF, and fall, as is too likely TO be the
case under such circumstances, into eonaI-
ly desperate hands-what is TO become
then of such ordinary residents as NAV
still remain in Paris? Who will defend
them from the enemy within, as well as
the enemy without? Quis custodiet
cltstOdeS? Who will defend us from onr
defenders That is the question which
SO many are anxiously asking them
selves now, and which prompts to
such an universal SduUe Qui De,f
There will soon be literally no one
left to look after the preservation of good
order and public peace, or the internal
safety OF the inhabitants. You can see
already by the confusion of such scenes
as | have spoken of, and complete
blocking up of thoroughfares occasioned
by them, that the once-famed French
police force has become a myth. You

ton of cooked hat and sword. The

The Knoxville Radical paper says:
I Judge wisenefs party friends are sat
ished that he is now, andhasalways been,
a devoted friend 10 the United States
Government. He has always enjoyed the
entire confidence of his Union neighbors.
Let rs see about this. Two United
States Senators were elected by the Legis-
latuIez 1866, and Mr.. Wisener was a
candidate for one of these positions. 1t,
was seriously objected to him by ''Union
men" that he had been member of the
Legislature that adopted the military
league and the ordinance of secession, and
that he met and acted with that Legisla-
ture after the ordinance of secession had
been ratified by vote of the people of
the State. A correspondent of one of the
Radical papers published in Nashville in
1866, wrote of Mr.. Wisener as follows
"wby did he not resign his seat when
| these conspirators at the capitol were
bending their energies to destroy the Gov
eminent, by raising armies and eouipping
soldiers to aid in IFS overthrow?
And why did Mr.. Wisener join them in
this work The few loyal men who bat
tied in Middle Tennessee, and the thou
sands in East Tennessee pray that this
Legislature will send some one to the cap
ital of the nation, who, ia every hour of
peril stood up by the Government: who
gave no aid or countenance to the rebel
| lion, and who claimed at all times that
the Government had the right to put it
down; and that all ordinances of seces-
sion were null and void. With such a
record as Mr.. Wisener's, what influence
could he command at Washington Let
the loyal men of Tennessee have q Sena-
tor whose whole record is bright and spot
less, and whose garment is tainted with
no stain of treason. 80 al ~ @ p sl.
The election came on a few days after
this communication appeared, and Mr.
Wisener was not elected, Mr.. Fowler re-
ceiving 40 votes to Wisener 2S. If Mr..
Wisener had been the devoted friend to
the Government, and had enjoyed the
confidence Of the Union men of Tennes.
see to the extent it is claimed he did, is il
possible that he could have been 80 badly
beaten by a gentleman who was a com,
parative stranger in the State, and who
was unknown in our politics previous tc

WAS HORACE MAYNARD A Sc
CESSIONIST1


A public dinner was given to the Hon.
Bale .Peyton, of this State, by the citi-
zens of Philadelphia on the 18th of Janu-
airy, 1850, at which were present the
Hon. John ]. Crittenden, of Kentucky,
aud Hon. Horace Maynard, of Tennessee.
Of the part which Maynard played on
that occasion, the Philadelphia PennsyL.
Udli0's gives this account:
"Hon. Mr.. Maynard, of Tennessee, was
the next speaker. Soon after the COM
mencement of his speech, he took occa-
sion to pitch into the Republican party
in the North In speaking of the Chicago
Convention, he said that if candidate of
that body Tin which fifteen States would
not be represented) should be elected. the
business of the Union would not progress
for week. There would be no revenue
collected from the mouth of the Delaware
to the Rio Grande. The utterance of this
sentiment elected signs of disapprobation,
and the speaker was freely Kissed. Others
of the audience applauded, and there was
considerable disorder for time, and pre-
monitory symptoms of knock down.
"After Mr.. Maynard had concluded.
there were loud cheers and Kisses and
great excitement, amid which Mr.. Nc
Michael arose and quiet was restored.
Mr.. McMichael said that he agreed with
all that had fallen from the lips of Mr..
Peyton, and with most that had been said
by the other speakers. He reminded his
hearers that he had been requested to act
as chairman of the meeting in the una
voidable absence of the Mayor. He
would not leave the building content un-
less he publicly expressed his dissent from
the most that had been uttered by the
gentleman who had just taken his seat.
Cheers and Kisses. He yielded to no
man in devotion to the Union, and he did
not believe that it would be DESTROYED be-
cause a majority of the people should
choose to elect certain man to the office
of President"
1t will be seen that Mr.. Maynard was
so ultra Southern that he was not only
Missed by his audience, but the chairman
publicly rebuked him for the utterance of
disunion sentiments. Such an act of dis
courtesy to an invited guest was unusual,
and this fact win explain how strongly
tinctured with disunion was the speech
of Mr.. Maynard. He signalized his ap-
pearance before a Philadelphia audience
in 1850 by the PRONUNCIATION of the most
ultra Southern doctrine of that day, and
now his course is signalized by q want of
leniency toward those who followed his
teachings of only few months before
South Carolina seeded. This is the man
who now pirates SO much about '1oyalty.'
Are there none of the Radical crew upon
whose skirts the faint of secession cannot
be found

THE San Domingo correspondent of the
New York Times expresses regret that
the United States ships of war should re-
main stationed in Dominican waters, and
protests against their taking sides with
Baez, as in the case of the visit of Capt.
Bunce Of the Nantasket to Punta Plata,
and ''his threat, under the orders of Ad-
miral Poor, to fire upon the town in case
of an attempt to rebel against the govern
ment." The Grant-Baez jobbers will
doubtless dictate the policy of the gov
eminent in this matter. There are sew
cral millions of dollars at stake and
national honor will weigh but a feather

WHEN Grant took office it was on the
pledge that he would retain in public en-

and that he himself wsuld keep aloot
from mere politicians. Now he is busy
removing honest officials in New York,
Illinois, Missouri and elsewhere, because
they take part in one or other of the party
divisions. There is some compensation
in this, however. He is destroying all
hopes of a nomination for reelection.

TIE Knoxville Radical paper palliates
Mr.. Wisener's course in the Legislature in
May and June, 1861, as follows:
Men could not always act untram
melled, when surrounded by hostile bay
Onets in the hands of Rebel soldiers, and
were sometimes forced to do things which
they would have done otherwise under
different circumstances.
That is attributing to Mr.. Wisener the
shcerest cowardice, for there were no
''hostile soldiers in Nashville to influence
in the least the action of any member of
the Legislature.
