THE

This august body meets on the First
Monday of the present month, and it is
hoped the members instead of spending
their time quarreling over dead issues,
will condescend to look into a few matters
of vital interest to our people and enact a
few wholesome laws to remedy evils with
which we nave contended long enough.
In the first place, the matter of regu-
lating the sale of intoxicating liquors
should be looked into, and a law passed
making it a penal offense to sell to an
habitual drunkard after having been warn
ed not to do SO by his wife or other near
relations. The penalty in this case should
be made to apply to any person procuring
II for the use of the said drunkard, as well
Is to the rumseller, otherwise the law will
lose half its force.
Having disposed of the liquor question,
the next thing for the Legislature to do,
will be to adopt some system of Free
Schools. The present one is a failure, as
the members of the Legislature knew it
would be when they adopted it. It never
was intended to be a success. The Press
of the State tamely submitted to it for
awhile, because in the then state OF the
Legislative mind, remonstrance was USE
less. Bnt new the newspapers of the State
are waking up on the subject, and are
clamoring for the very thing we have been
contending for from the first issue of this
paper. The Nashville Banner and Jack
son Daily Telegraph have boldly declared
themselves in favor of a liberal Free
School System, and we trust such a pressure
will be brought to bear on the Legislature
as will force some action on this all i'm
portant subject. If we wish for immigra-
ton we must have Free Schools. If we
wish to suppress crime, to secure peace
and to promote general prosperity, we
must have them, and if the present Legis-
lature adjourns without providing for the
education of the masses after the manner
of other States, they will retire to their
homes and to oblivion loaded with the just
reproaches of intelligent men of all par
ties. This is not, and ought not to be, a
party question. We care not which party
has the credit of establishing Free Schools.
The man who advocates them shows him
self to be above the influence of party
leaders, and proves that he has the good
of the whole country at heart, and be he
Republican or Democrat, he shall receive
at our hands the treatment his manly, in
dependent and patriotic department enti-
ties him.

Tours, Nov. ga battle occurred
yesterday between Fiiliers and Saleux,
near Amiens. which lasted all day. The

half-past four this afternoon, when the
town of Villiers was abandoned, before the

Versges received, dated Dion, yesterday
afternoon. The Garibaldians, while on
the march from Pasques late Saturday af-
%ternoon, suddenly came upon the %out-posts
of the Prussian rifles, which they attacked
with great impetus. The Prussians were
at first compelled to fall back, but rein
forcements coming up, the Garibaldians
were in turn repulsed in. great disorder,
the soldiers throwing away their arms and
knapsacks in the fight. Next day, Sun
day, Werder took a circuit around Pieone-
bieres, and in this way overlook the French
rear guards. Another engagement then
occurred, in which the French lost $50 in
killed and wounded, and the Prussians on
" so. 1t is said that Menoti Garibaldi

The Herald publishes a special Lon
don dispatch which contains the following
Russia's reply is an evidence that she IS
not prepared to unequivocally abide by
her original circular, but G~otschakoff, it is
thought does not wish war, aud is averse
to a withdrawal of the circular.
The Iribunc's special dispatch from
St. Petersburg says that Russia is unpre-
pared for war, and will not be prepared
before spring.
The Gazcttc says Russia cannot with
draw her declaration, nor leave it without
practical consequences. Such a PROPOSE
ton from the English press only compels
her to pursue more actively a realization
of the problem set before her. No one
in Russia desires war, but all classes would
conse Mt to war rather than a humiliating
retraction under threats.
Cable dispatches to private parties say
that G~ortschakofFs answer does not with
draw Russia's claiss, but repeats them,
and the inference is that he intends a vi
%olation of the treaty.

err, S, G on Nov. y, was abandoned at

be invited to preside over the joint con-
v%ention as the legal presiding officer of the
Senate.
Mr.. Barr, presiding officer of the SEN
ate pro tenn, announced the motion out OF
order, and asked the Senate to retire to
its chamber which it did, and Immediately
adjourned.
Mr.. Moren in the'meantime was sworn
in as Lieutenant Governor. by Judge NJ.
j. Safold, and escorted to the Speakers
chair. Upon taking the chair he an
%nounceG that he was ready for business as
presiding officer of tho joint convention.

THE war Situation in France.

The long-expected battle has not yet
been fought. For nearly two weeks the
opposing armies have been maneuvering
in the valley of the Loire, preparatory to
the great struggle, which cannot be much
longer delayed. On Friday the German
army of General Won der Tam and the
French forces met near Artenay, as the
former was advancing towards Pithiviers,
and an engagement, we are told. ensued !;
but the result was not known. Gen. Won
der Tann's forces consisted of about forty
five thousand men. If a battle was fought
near Artenay we ought to have something
more definite than the information convey
ed in the kilograms. Had there been q
fight resulting in a German victory King
William would certainly have had his usu-
al proclamation announcing the fact; if a
French victory was achieved, the govern
ment of Tours would have given it to the
world with a loud flourish, and in case 1t
proved indecisive both French and Ger
mans would have claimed u success. In
the absence of all these the affair at Arte-
nav will, we think, simmer down ia a Skin
mish. The Duke of Mecklinburg with a
large IOrce Is now dDOuG 1 Jay D ""i
from LIE Mani, which city is held by Gen.
Fierck. Keratry, with fifty thousand
mer, is intrenched at Camp Coulie, which
is about fifteen miles from the city
Reinforcements are marching from Dreux
to strengthen the Duke of Mecklinburg's
army. On Tuesday last a force of TWEEN
ty thousand Germans occupied Belleme.
and two days later they retired towards
Regent lie Rotrou. Judging therefore
from the situation of the armies the move
ments of the Germans are westward, ap-
p%arantly with a view to concentrate and
give battle somewhere in the neighborhood
of Orleans. Little is known of the move
ments of the French armies. Whatever
the movements are they keep quiet about
them, and we have less bombastic an
nouncements from Tours as to what the
French intend to do. The situation of
affairs in the valley of the Loire now is
such that the great struggle cannot be
kept back much longer.
