The Capturc Of Orleans.

The story of the capture of Orleans
reads like a page from the history OF
theC rusades. The French, destitute
ofartillery and fearfully outnumbered,
were forced to defend the city by indi-
vidual bravery, and made the victory
a dear one for the Germans. During
the night before the assault little
snake parties'were organized to creep
out though the long grass and meet
the Prussians crawling in. And every
now and then the silence was broken
by a sharp, kissing cry as snake met
in the underwood, and the strings, in
the shape of the long hunting knives
carried on these expeditions, went to
work. The next day, it being evident
that the town must fall, it was decided
to save the bulk of the army by retreat,
while the Foreign Legion and the
Pontifical Zouaves engaged the Prus-
slams and covered the retreat. And
nobly they did 1t. The Prussian ar
tillerv rained missiles of death upon
them, till they judged them broken,
and then assaulted en- maSse, only TO
be driven back in ruin. -Four times
did they meet repulsc, but on the fifth
assault not a shot was fired against
their heavy masses as they deployed
in the field, but as they swarmed into
Banien and into the railway station
about a hundred and fifty CHASTITY
creatures in the military garb rose up
to meet them in the longed for en-
brace of death. Orleans was won.
But of these $50 men not 60 escaped
to tell the tale of how it " as defended.
Of 100 of the Foreign Legion 81
came back to Blois, and of 3I0Zouavcs
but IL left the field alive.

My DEAR HERALD:-Yonnever can
know how much pleasure the sight of
your welcome face gives one Of your
old friends down here in this land of
strangers. When l met you the other

you, l was SO glad to see you. Well!
l suppose you would like me to tell

The people are very sociable and
kind, but not as enterprising as in your
county. Savannah presents to the eye
Of a stranger rather an unfavorable
appearance, owing TO the large num-.
Der of old dilspidated and defunct
buildings, that were vacated during
the war, and have never been occupi-
ed since, but the citizenship will COM
pare very favorable with any town in
Middle Tennessee.
The first quartely meeting for this
Conference year was held here last Sat-
urday and Sunday. The meeting was
largely attended and a fine interest
awakened; Saturday night the doors
of the Church were opened, aud nine

well rccOllect how often Marshal Neil
told me, with confident mien, that the
army was complete and ready for
every operation. 1t was not less the
case with LeBeuf. 1t was probably
not a fault of the heart, but OF the
head, that they would not listen to
me when 1 told them that we could
not compete with Prussia's military
establishment; that our effective
strength as compared TO hers, was
insufficients. This was the deception.
the fault of which must be shared
more or less by all of us, and which
led TO most disastrous results. We
were to have ready at a moments no.

of them were at hand, and these only
after a delay of weeks. Thus the

~StOckhOlders' Meeting.

Tomorrow is the day appointed for
the annual meeting oftheStockholders
of the Maury County Agricultural,
Mechanical, Horticultural and Live
Stock Association to re-elect fifteen
Directors for the ensuing year. The
present Board and its able and efficient
officers have by their management Of
the affairs of the Association shown
themselves thoroughly c%onversant
with its interests and proven that they
are the right men in the right place,
and should be reelected without a
dissenting voice, unless it may be
thought best to have the Mechanical
interest more fully represented in the
ard, and we know the animus of
the present members to be such that
any three or four ofthem would cheer
fully consent to have their places fill
ed with intelligent thoroughgo;ng
Mechanics.
At this meeting another matter Of
vital importance to the Association is
to be acted upon. We allude to the
proposition to change the location of
the Fair Grounds to q more convenient
and accessible place somewhere on
| the railroad. The necessity for this
change is SO imperative and its adj
vantages so clearly manifest to every
| thinking, Observant man, that we fear
any further suggestions from us might
| be considered an insult to their intel
ligence and public ~spiritedness. We
! understand that the citizens Of Colum-
| bia have shown their interest in the
matter by coming forward and max
ing liberal subscriptions of stock con-
| ditioned upon the change Of location
| of the Grounds. The Northern, East
| ern. Southern and much of the Wes-
tern parts of Maury County are anx-
ious for the change. And if the
| Stockholders come forward tomorrow
animated by an earnest desire to pro-
mote the interest and ensure the sue
cess of the Association, and to accom-
modate the Fair going public, the
change will be made, and the Maury
County Fairs will become what they
al
should be, second only to the State
Fair at Nashville. But if on the other
hand a factious opposition based upon
selfish considerations, and local pref
udices, should succeed in defeating
the proposition. then it will not re-
quirc the gift of prophecy to foretell
the carly and inevitable demise of the
Maury County, Agricultural Mechan-
cal, Horticultural, and Live Stock
Association.
