For Consress---IIon. VIM. Z. Arnold
OF Weston. l.

We call the attention ef our readers to
the letter from Gilmer county. to DO
found in another column, recommending
the nomination Of Hon. William L. Ar
mold, Of Weston, as Democratic candidate
for Congress from this District. If Mr..
Arnold received and would accept the
nomination, he could make canvass
which would do credit to himself and to
tho party. Aside from this, j. is due to
this end Of the District that We have the
Congressman. We therefore hope thai
Mr.. Arnold will allow his name to 60 be-
fore the Convention as candidate; ant
that the delegates to DO chosen on tho 5tl
prcximo be instructed TO cast .he vote o
this county for him at tie Congressional
Convention.

The Young Men Of our state.

1t is gratifying to know that nearly ali
the young men Of our State-thosc who,
since the war, have arrived at the age o (
maturity, have allied themselves with the
Democratic party in their political nffilia-
tons. The youth are taught by their
mothers to be respectable. In the night
ly prayers Of those pious mothers, they
invoke the interposition Of Providence to
guide thor children in tile patti Of picty,
and all things else that will make them
respectable. Those sons are therefore
taught to associate themselves in any
company opposed to the negro equality
doctrine Of the radical party. In politics,
it follows that the youth Of our State, as
they arrive at maturity, vote with The
Democratic party. How many annually
arrive at that age emitting them to vote,
may readily be determined by our pro.
gross. Tue voters last year numbered
SO, 900. Gu. annual increase is lire.
per cent. Three per cent Of eighty.two
thousand is 246O, and is equal to the en-.
tire negro vote of tie State. Without
any help, therefore, the young men Of our
State will settle, satisfactorily, the power
of the new element, created in the inter.
est of radicalism by the Fifteenth Constit-
utional Amendment.

GEN. SHERIDAN TO BE SENT TO THE SEAT OF
WAR AS A SPECIAL COMMIsSIONER-THE
TREATY OF PARIS TO BE CARRIED OUT.
Iieut.-Gen. Sheridan has been summoned to Wash
ngton, and is route. He will probably arrive
tomorrow 1t has been decided to send him
Special Commissioner of the United States to the
theater of military operations in Europe, in order
that he may observe the manner in which both the
French and Prussan Governments conduct war;
and he is to make report after his return, on the
cavalry, artillery, and infantry of the two
armies and also on the arms, tactics, discipline,
and accoutrements of each. His departure
will take place Immediately, and he will be the
bearer of letters from the President, Secretary OF
War, the General of the Army and the French and
Prussian Ministers commencing him to foreign Gov
ernnents in this capacity. Col o. Derived, of Gen.
Shermans Staff to-day received six months leave of
absence with the privilege to 60 to Europe and wit
ness the conflict between Prussia and France. He
will leave in asfew days for Paris. NJ. Provost
Paradol the new French Minister, called the State
Department to-day, and assured the Secretary that
France would exempt from seizure on the seas by her
war vessels, of all private property, without regard
to the flag under which such property might be. He
did not state that he had the authority from his
Government for the assurance but he felt authorized
TO promise the same protection which Bismarck had
accorded TO the commerce Of the seas. Secretary

Minister Washburne telegTaphed to Secretary Fish
to-day that he had just returned to Paris. The Sec
rotary teegTaphed to him at the request of the North
German Government, asking consent Of the French
Government to permit our Legation to extend to
subjects Of the former the degrees OF personal
proection in France as was extended TO French sub
jects in Mexico by Legation in that Republic, the
request at that time coming from Baron Moustier,
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. 1t is regarded as some
what singular that this request of North Germany
was made on the same day of the same month-July
19-as the request of the French to our Government
in 1867.
Baron Gerolt has officially communicated to the
Secretary Of State the following telegram

nate, because so many of their merchant vessels
were bought from the Americans during the recent
Rebellion, and may now be covered by the American
flag again.
The Post is skeptcal touching the news received
from France and Prussia 1t ascrbes the bulk of the
dispatches 10 spectators.
The journal Odiciel of Paris announces that the
Emperor has decided not TO receive, either in the In
peral quarters the quarters of general officers any
volunteer or any foreign officer, any one not be-
longing to the French army
The Journal dc Soir has information which it be-
heves to be trustworthy, that Mr.. Washburne, the
American Minister, has agreed to protect the Prus-
sian subjects now in France. The Journal adds that
Mr. Washbume has certainly not made such prom
Use without first having obtained the consent of the
French Government.
The Journal 0tfcel to-day has significant article
the attitude of Holland, with which it processes
to be pleased, and continues: But no one can ig-
more the ambitious designs of Prussia against the
independence of Holland. Bismarck wished to make
that generous and llustrous little nation submit as
the Danish Duchies were forced to submit. He
wished to render Holland naval State of tho North
German Confederation, and under the pretext OF
establishing closer commercial relations tried to
place Prussian customs officers at Amsterdam. The
patriotic emotion aroused in the Netherlands at the
bered nor will it be forgotten that without the firm
stand taken by France then, Prussian policy would
have had results fatal to the independence and
autonomy of the Netherlands. The Cabinet of the
Hague is on its guard, and will not fail to maintain
the real interests of the country"
The same paper has the following on the relations
of Switzerland to France: we learn from several
Swiss cantOns and particularly from Neufchatel,
that the military measures of the Federal Govern
ment are not directed against France, but are in
spired by friendly neutrality. Switzerland knows
she has nothing to fear from France her natural ally
and firm friend The measures taken by Switzerland
to secure the respect of Prussia for her neutrality are
in favor by her geographical position she pro-
tects an important portion of our frontier"
The friendly feeling of the Spanish people toward
France is also pointed out by the journal, which
says: 1--WE hear from Spain that all notice how care
fully, in the present conflict, our Government and
Chambers have avoided any act or expression of I'M
friendlineSs toward that power. This results from
the feelings of sympathy between the two nations"
The Nancy journals protest against the law for the
regulation of the press in time of war.

European war has thus far been exclusively confined to
the German side. While many leading German citizens
and the largest and most important OF the German organ
nations out most emphatically and distinctly
m favor OF war and Of Prussia; while they have begun
oroonizne societies for aiding the sick and wounded,
have offered prizes the most successful regiment in
the Prussan service, nothing has been heard from the
