ssThs Bhius as q mounaau.B
A generation ago Victor Hugo
wrote q book on the Rhine, In
which. besides giving the most fas-
cinating and poetic Of all descFip-
tions Of that famous stream, he
cried out, France, take back the
Rhine" as he stood at the tomb Of
Hoche, who was buried on the
shores OF that river, and whose
grave Is to this day pointed out to
the curious tourist.
Napoleon, the bitter enemy Of
Hugo, tried on several occasions
to make Of this cry a national slo.
gan to call to his support oil par
ties in France. The Rhine is, &C.
cording to many F~renchmen, the
natural bOundry" Of France. The
Germans whom the Emperor
would like to make his subjects,
however, do not agree with him.
The people Of the German Rhen-
ish provinces are German In Ian
guage, tastes and feelings, and
have no admiration Of Napoleon
III. or his policy. Belgium, with
its French-speaking population,
and with but forty years of nation
al existence to overturn, would be
a much easier acquisition for
France.
France already owns the west
bank of the Rhine from a few
miles north of Basic in Switzer.
land to the frontier Of the Palati-
nate at Lauterburg. The posses
sion of the last named district
would add to the list Of French
cities, Spires with its old cathe-
dral, and the fortified places Of
Landau and Nenstadt, besides a
large number of small towns and

After passing over the fiat, highly

the Rhine here sluggishly rolls

a city of strategic and historic i'm.

Bingen; and there begins the
marvellous scenery which has
, given TO the Rhine such world

mth8a accounts from North Car

This Is the history of the result
which follows the use Of active
militia in every State. The de-
mand for militia by the Radical
party, is simply with a view of.
creating political capital. There
is no State in the Union in which
militia is required, and we venture
the assertion that there is less ne.
cessity for it in the Southern
States than in any other in the
Union. There lie less crime in the
State Of Mississippi during one
month, than in New York city for
q day. Governor Alcorn's propo-
sition about "sedentary militia"
was but a stub thrown to the
whale" He IS satisfied that
neither "sedentary" or any other
militia is demanded in this State.
Yet as bis party was pledged to
it, he was compelled to yield. Ar
