Which Ia suneriorl

Our readers will hnd elsewhere an In
teresting article on this subject, wherein
the London sEconomiss discusses the
comparative merits fof the French and
German soldiers in fhir spirit. Here.
tofore it has been generally held that the
palm of superiority lay with the French,
and in this view we have concurred. But
we must in candor avow that our views
have been modified by recent results.
Whatever may have been the case, in
this FrancoPrussian struggle, it is GER
tain that the Prussian has not shown
himself less the soldier than the Gaul.
The truth is, the German and Gaul both
fight well, and other things being equal,
the heavier weight of the German gives
an advantage. It is impossible not to
view with admiration the spirit nnd pre-
cision which have marked the move
ments of the Prussians.
War having been declared, all France
becomes at once vain-glorious, and rirc
la gloire becomes the national cry. It is
Mt once assumed that the conquering
eagles Of France will move ut once on to
Berlin. And Louis Napoleon, in the
style dramatic, with the Prince Imperial
in hand, places himself at the head of his
army, and the impression is prevalent
that VICTORY stands near, ready to crown
him with the laurels OF conqueror. Not
80 was it that Prussia went into the strug-
gle. King William, in God-fearing
spirit, regrets tho necessity which has
been brought upon him to resort to the
dread arbitrament of battle. solemnly
protests that lie is not responsible, and
resolutely prepares for war. Diplomacy
having done its work, Bismarck retires,
and Won Moltke proceeds to organize lis
plans of campaign, and under the influ.-
ence of Prussia's iron system, the CO.
lumns Of united Germany are silently
put in motion, and soon the French are
found confronted with superior forces,
and the three columns of the Prussian
army move resistlessly on, and carry
everything before them. The French
fight with great gallantry, but are out
numbered. and apparently out-generaled.
Unless recently checked, it may be said
of the Prussian columns that they have
marched steadily on from the time they
left their original lines. 1t is undcnia-
BILE that both armies have fought with
great spirit and bravery. Both powers
are calling into play vast energies. We
cannot but suggest how much better that
these great energies were called into ex-
ercise upon peaceful fields. We again
invite the readers attention to the arti-
Gle we have referred to.

iAhG' '-oauhey I1uI udEroWly escaped
destruction, last night. About quar-
ter before II, the buildings connected
with Paysingeri& Sc Franklin's cockpit
in tho rear Of the hall-were set on fire.
Tho flames communicated to a wooden
building adjacent, and from thence to
Janney's Hall-the roof of which was
partially burnt. The building is used
as post Office, and also as an armory
for several colored military companies
and Winchester rifles were pitched about
promiscuonsly. The fire companies we're
promptly on hand, and by their energy
and skillful management, stopped the
progress of the flames.

Work on the cells is being pushed for

complete. There aro at present $50 con-
victs-a large majority colored and, for
want of room, three cpnviots, in many

working on the building, quarrying and
preparing the granite, the convicts are
employed in working up marble into
mantel-pieces, slabs for wash-stands, bu-
reaus, etc. ;carpcntering; tailoring; weav-
ing; shoe-making; general machine work;
blacksmithing; gardening, etc. An i'm

Mr.. j. t. Wright superintends the ma.

Free Debate De,na nded.


Free Debate Demanded.
The State is now passing through n
heated and excited canvass. We do not
regret this. A storm Of debate was need
ed. The air had grown thick with nox-
ious vapors, and the malaria of radical
ism was affecting the body polite and
threatening to fill the veins thereof with
its corrupting taint. We needed stir.
There was needed the breath of discus
sion to pass over the fields of politics.
It has come, and lot it grow until it be-
comes tempest to lash the State into
activity. Out OF this commotion will
come good. It was meet to coll in ques-
tion, before the popular tribunal, the
misdeeds of corrupt and corrupting
regime. But there is one element which
we have never thought should be thrown
into the canvass, and this is the element
of oiolence. Free discussion, free speech.
is all that is necessary. We know that
falsehood is nimble. but it is only so
whenrit puts on the garment Of truth;
and 80 long rs truth is left free to COM
bat error, we have little fears as to the
result. Thus far oil the disposition to
nse violence seems to come from the rad
ical faction. When Governor Scott
passed his notorious elegy on Winchester
Rifle La,0, and followed it up by arming
the negro militia, and issuing ball car
tridges, he suggested the role of violence
and intimidation to his dupos, his tools
and his minions. See the reports of vi
olence at Edgefield Court House, and of
Wimbush's conduct at Chester Court
House-to say nothing of other similar
incidents. This indicates the animus of
the radical regime.
We have few sober suggestions to
make upon this subject. We know that
the great mass of the colored people are
not parties to this violent role. We hope
that the responsibility will be allowed to
rest upon whom it properly belongs, viz {:
upon Gov. Scott himself, and his black
and white leaders of the colored people.
We hope that our friends will be mode
rate, but firm and resolute. Whilst con-
ceding free debate to our opponents. let
us demand it for ourselves, and see tho t
we have it. No infringement should be
allowed upon the rights and dignities of
formal meeting of the friends of our
cause. Whenever necessary, let COM
mittee large enough to preserve order be
nominated to keep order, and after due
notice, let them keep order. We advise
no resort to violence, except in legiti-
mate self-defence, and under the sane
tion of obvious duty. Let our modcra-
tion be known of all men, but let our de-
termination also stand out in bold relief
In fine, we advise the adoption of tho
Shakspearian Injunction: "Be,omrc Of
entrance into quarrel, bit being IN, bear
ii, that The opposer may Jeware Of Mee."

a correspondent OF the New York
Times, speaking of the battle of Woerth,
says:
On so large a scene of action 1T would
have been impossible to Judge of the
exact loss sustained. 1 see no reason,
however, to doubt the official return on
the German side, which gives about TO-
600 Frenchmen and 1000 Germans ho,s
az combat, and about 1000 prisoners
taken by the victors-4 900 in the battle
and 5000 in the pursuit. These losses,
with the further loss of cannon and CO.
lors, made the battle of Wocrth an evil
day fo: France.

A revolutionary sentiment is gathering
strength in that city. 1t has already
found utterance in the Corps Legslatif,

scenes in the Constituent Assembly Of

singing Of the "Marseillaisc" Mt the the
