WARNOTH ExPOSURE.-In our
next issue we will spread before
our readers full report of the
disgraceful conduct of Gov. War
moth at a Republican Ward meet
ing IN New Orleans on the I'd inst.
We commend it more particu-
larly to the colored people. War
moth is q Northern mana yankee
bearing in his breast all the
hate of which he is capable against
the South and her people. Acct
dentally, through fraud and vio-
lated promises, he becomes Gov
ernor OF a great State. His
ambition for high and low places,
knowing no bounds, the Governor
resorts to fraud, to be chosen as a
delegate to the Radical State Con-
vention, and brutally and unlaw-
fully assaults colored man for
exposing his villainy: Beware,
Warmoth is the embodiment of
Radical purity and Radical friend
ship for you. Live for them, vote
for them, and you are a chosen
people; assert your rights, you
are accursed apd the heel of the
tyrant is upon your neck.

TRUE BILL.-The Savannah Re-

"Some are of the opinion that the
Democratic party will not be
strong enough to avail against
the Internal powers that have now

they are not, it is very certain
that no new party yet to be form

A FRENCH STRATIGIST.
GEN. TROCHU, THE FRENCH RIVAL
OF Won MOLTKE.

AS Won Moltke was hardly
known to readres out of Prussia
anterior to the splendid campaign
which ended at Sadowa, the man
to whose brains will be due what
ever of successful strategy shall
characterize the French arms in
the coming war is as yet unnam=
ed. General Louis Jules Trochu
is to-day undeniably the best SOL
der of France. He is now fifty
five years of age, a graduate of
the Staff School of st. Cyr, he
was made a lieutenant in 1870,
and promoted to captaincy in
1913. His first staff service was
with that fine soldier, Bugeaud, in
ALGERIA. Chef d'escadron and ma
.jor in 1916 and lieutenant-colonel
in 1S43. His first European SER
vice was in the italian campaign.
At the commencement of the Cri-
mean war he was made Chief of
the General Staff, and by refer
ence to Kinglake's history, it will
be seen that in all the conferences
with Lord Raglan, Trochu, rather
than St. Armand or Canrobert,
was spokesman on the part of
France. Throughout the cam
paien, having been made General
of Brigade in 1854, he occupied
this position of confidential staff
officer ofthe Commander-in-Chief,
an officer analogous to that of
Gneisenau under Butcher, given
in just recognition of his militia
ry ability and skill. In 1864 he
reached his grade of General of
Division. Two years after he was
charged with the preparation of,
a plan to reorganize the army.
Instead of, as has been suggesed,
lacking the imperial condolences,
he has it in the most f1atterin Q.
degree. His essay upon organi-
cation, 'tL'Aamee Fr01acaise," pub
lished in 1867, ran through ten
editions. Trochu is known toI
have anticipated the event of al
war with Prussia. A recent PAM
phlet from his pen, which unfor-
cannot be obtained in
this country, develops an i'm
nense deal of the Rhineish from
,ier as a fighting field, and pal
oably indicates the national i'm
pulse as occupying the strategist's
mind. Should the war survive
It's first battle a fortnight, and
promise, as seems very likely, to
% a long one. Trochu's name
nay chance to appear at the head
IT the French armies.

The following remedy for the
bite of mad dog is going the
rounds of the papers: Pulverized
charcoal made intoa paste by mix

spot bitten by a dog or insect of
any kind, will draw out the venom
and cure the patient.

DEMOCRATIC UNITY.-The BOs-
ton Post, looking over the politi-
cal field of the whole country,
finds happier spirit of accord
drawing Democrats and Conser-
natives North and South together,
in determined stand against the
common Radical enemy. 1t con-
cludes .
The outlook is highly encourag-
ing. The country can be rescued
if patriots will, rise and combine
for that single end. Having Sc
cured control of Congress, the rest
is comparatively easy. Ii the
South proceeds in the spirit above
indicated, the reform spirit of the
North will receive anew and pow
erful accession of: influence, which
will certainly sweep the last YES
tiSs of a corrupt legislative tyr
army away. The Democratic par
ty is the only one with which
rests the hope of carrying out the
great reform purpose of the coun-
try, and the impressive and timely
appeal of it's chosen leaders de-
serves the cheering responses with
which it has been promptly greeted
by the South and the whole cOun-

lions Of men are ready to march.
and that the reserve corps will
number one million. The people
are clamorous for organizations
and leaders.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 9-12 M.-The
buoyancy in the cotton market is
attributed to Prussian success,
and the general impression here
is that Prussian victories augur a
speedy restoration Ofpeace.

said that he would return victori-
Gus or dead.
PARIS, Aug. 1O.-Ten thousand
persons gathered about the Corps

whom the crowd shouted "to the
front, the 'front.'" No disorder, no
vivas for Napoleon. Troops arrang-

The Prussians took multitudes

The French continue concen-
trating on the road. to Paris. All
that region is in a state of siege.
It is said that after the battle of
| the 9th, the French abandoned
their works in the gratest confu-
sion. An Intellectual effort was
made to check the Prussian's adj
vance at Feiderbr,1n, which place
was taken by the Bavarians. The
French continued their retreat to-
wards Bitsche, the Wurtemburg
cavalry picking up scores of pris-
oners. The line of retreat was

A couple of young ladies and as
many young gentlemen, were out
one afternoon promenading and
picked up telegram, apparently
from a lady to her husband, which
contained the words Isaiah ix-6v.'
All were curious to know what it
meant, so upon reaching the home
of one of the girls, the old family
Bible was taken down and the
boys aided the girls in finding the
place designated. The girls blush
ed, the boys were nonplussed, and

left alone in the parlor.
