SETTLEMENT

L.
About I've weeks since a lot of Ger
man families settledat Faquetaique,
about twenty-five miles west of Ope.
~lousas, in this parish, where they
had entered lands~ The settlement
has now, we are informed, sixty,
eight families; and more are to
come. They have erected a saw
mill, which has already been in OPP
Grafton a week. These brisk pro-
ceedings. Of the Germans will aston
ish the natives Of that section. A
saw-Ioi11 might, and should have
been built there many years ago.
But even in our part of the parish,
where there is an ineessant demand
for lumber, we have no public saw
mill. The market is very made
quately supplied at exceedingly
high prices, by lumber brought from
New Orleans, and the Atchafalaya
and Grand rivers. A Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep seems to prevail in
the land and nothing but the noise
of the steam car, and the hustle of
emigrants, is likely to break it.

The New York Tribune and other radi-
cal newspapers are intensely shocked be-
cause Louis Napoleon has suppressed an
anti-war newspaper. In our own recent
war times, the suppression of anti-war
newspapers and the wholesale arrest OF
citizens, and their confinement without &C.
cusation or trial by military authority, be-
cause they opposed the war, were the mo st
common acts of the republican admins
tration. Louis Napoleon has not yet gone
to near the lengths in arbitrary arrests
that Lincoln, Seward, Dix, Burnside and
other of our commanders went; and why
is the same act which in the United States
was virtuons exercise of power, such a
terrible crime when committed in France ?

Since the publication in the London
Times CT the proposed treaty between
France and Prussia the European world
has been more than usually excited En-
gland is terribly exercised over the pros
pect of becoming involved in general
struggle which may last a quarter of a CEN
fury or more. 1t would appear that the
two powers were about to put their heads
together for the purpose of conquering
the balance of Europe which rouses the
lion from his lair while the entire world
is looking on in establishment, wondering
what will be the future of these crowned
heads. Amid all this excitement and spec
ulation about the prospective situation -
the probable course of the Prassian mon
arch in relation thereto, &c., &c., Paris
dispatch of the 9th says:
The Journal OGciel has an article this
morning on the pretended treaty re-
Gently published in the London Times,
having for it's object the acquisition of
Luxembourg and Belgium by France,
on the condition Of France not opposing
union of the States of the South
with the North German Confederation.
1t says: "After the treaty of Prague
in 1866, several conferences were held
at Berlin between Count Won Bismarck
and the French Ambassador on the
subject of an alliance. Some of the
ideas set forth in the Times were then
advanced, but the French Government
never had any knowledge of the pro-
ject described, and as far as the prop
positions which were discussed at the
interview mentioned are concerned, the
Emperor rejected them. 1t can escape
no one that this publication on the part
Of the London Times is designed mer-
ely to influence public opinion in Eng
land"

Strength of European Armies.

In view OF the dispatches from Europe
1t Is Interesting to learn what forces the
various powers concerned, or likely to be
involved, can put in the field.
France has Ala, G32 soldiers on the peace
footing, and CAT ,27l in the field, a total of
nearly 100000. OF these $40. 900 men
are now ready to march on the tap of the
drum.
Austria has 27S, 40 men on the peace
establishment, S3S.70O of war strength
or 100000 fully prepared to move. Cod
the'soath German confederation or group
OF states be secured on the same side, they
have Ut, $40 men on the peace list, or 1884,
400 on the war footing, with 1914 OF
| these prepared for instant service. Such
a coalition would give. France the control
of 10000 fighting men at once, with a
reserve of 1896, lO3 trained soldiers.
On the other hand, Prussia has 726 900
men on the peace or 100000 on the
war footing, with 100000 now ready for
operations on her western frontier. North
Germany going with Prussia has 3l5, 52G
on the peace, 55l 1898 on the filed or 944.-
32l on the war footing, of which SAC 900
are instantly available. This would place
at Prussian disposal SIC, 900 men for the
first moment, and 1864. 32l IN reserve
Thus she would have, instantly, $4,000
men more, and hereafter 23l, 1855 less than
the French alliance. Should she be able
to manage southern Germany for her
cause she wculd have l,O53, 900 men more
than France, to move at once, or enough
to cope with her and Austria together. for
the time being, with all the advantages OF
common language and position. This
would Leave Prussia still a reserve of l..
AL ,727 men, or only Isl. 379 less than
that of France and Austria coalesced, q
difference swamped to the extent O. nearly
10000 men by her superiority of immedi
ate force.
Italy, out of force of 37G,7ll on wa,
footing, with 1877 900 Of reserve or SIS.
III in all, could spare possibly 100000 to
operate on the French frontier or hold 9
hostile corps in check. The direct and
open participation Of Russia is hardly te
be expected unless circumstances should
force her into the melee. In that case she
could dispose Of about 100000 men from
about 100000 composing her army ir
Europe, including the Cossacks. She coo
take no other course by family alliance

wounds, than to aid Prussia. Sweden
and Denmark would, if they dared to move
at all, have to 60 in The same direction
with about $4,000 men. Thus Italy, the

THERE is war in South Carolina and
there is not much question about the truth
of the charges published by the Chicago
Tribune against Gov. Holden. We clip
from the Tribune article which says:
Unwilling to trust his chances of politi.
cal preferment to the flee suffrages of the
people, be has undertaken with the mailed
hand to suppress all freedom of speech
and of action, and is establishing most
outrageous despotsm over all those who
differ from him in politics, and whose in
auence and whose votes he knows would
consign him to obscurity. Certainly moth
ing but extreme danger can Justify the ex-
IRENE measures resorted to by Governor
Holden, for he has declared martial law !:
he has suspended the writ of habeas cor
pus he has defied the civil courts he has
through his military commander, broken
up peaceful public meetings by invading
them with soldiers, arIesting:.th speakers,
bayoretting the audiences, and threaten
ing the lives of those who have ventured
to question the propriety of such proceed
lngs; he has given unlimited authority to
one Kirk, whom he has appointed a sort
of Commander-in-Ch to carry out this
reign of terror, who quarters his troops
In private houses, and tears up writs of

AGES OF THE CONFERENCE.-The the
France-Prussian war last for more than a
single campaign, it is probable that the
majority of the commanders who are now
conspicuous will sink out of sight, and
that new men, whose names have not vet
even been heard of, will rise into promi-
hence. 1t is curious fact that nearly ey-
cry officer of high rank in both the Prus-
sian and French armies is over sixty years
of age. Marshals Mcmahon, Canrobert
and Bazaine, Gen. Letoeuf and Admiral
Rigault de Genquilly are all between sixty
and sixty-three; Marshal Forey is sixty
seven, and Morshals Raudon, paraguay
d'Hiliers and Valiant are all more than
seventy-five. On the Prussian side, Gen.
Moltke is seventy, Gen. Manteufel is sixty
seven, and Prince Frederick, who COM
manded the army of the Ebe at Sadowa,
sixty-nine years of age. Among so many
venerable officers it would not be unrea-
sonable to look for tactics of the Fabian
pattern, since age is prudence. Youth
and audacity, as well as genius, are es-
sential, and these qualities will perhaps
soon be forthcoming in men as obscure at
the present moment as was the Young
