BY the telegraph editor" of the Ii.
Grange (Ga.) Reporter: might after
night the goblins Of the telegraph
swarm around the poor editor in his
den and make him almost afraid OF his
nocturnal toll. There comes the mur-
derer with his bloody knife, and there
his victim with her gaping wounds.
Here lies bare the. guilty heart of the
defnnlter and the hell within it. Look
how the locomotive cores the darkness,
wildly rushing with its precious freight
to doom. See how tho yellow moon
shines on the suicides grave, in Potter's
field. Behold how chastity is be-
smirched by goddess impurity. Just
think how that tottering drunkarl, who
is applying the torch to his own dwell
ing. was once pure babe on fond
mothers bosom. Lo. where the storm.
clad Euroclydon swoops to his prey,
and see how the great deep swallows
navigation up! These are the editors
dreadful ghosts which come regularly
from the Western Union Office over the
way, and will not down at holy exor-
cism, or even at the clarion of the
cock"

Bile ball full Of spectators. The cadets

ed by Captain Mcdonald and Lieute-
nant Bigley. F9 .ssR
The drilling squad last evening con-
sisted OF twenty flies. They entered che
2s-ce dr:soo1i IL . column Q. s~os,
and after exhibiting their proficiency in
changing from twos to fours while on
the march, aud even in the act of facing
about, their peculiar skill of drilling
blindfolded was exhibited. Captain
Mcdonald says that the theory Of exc
outing man@uvres by rule. and not by
sight enables men to operate as effi.
oiently by nightas by day. His success
in drilling chosen few under this
theory was pronounced marvellous by
the military men who witnessed il.
The first peculiar evolution was exc,
outing the manual of arms to the tap OF
the drum. The men were drawn up in
column OF fours, with wide spaces, aud
after executing every order of handling
arms-order, cafry, support, right
shoulder shift, present, arms a-port,
loading. aiming, and back to order
again-no variation in the alignment
was noticeable. Blind-fold marching
to word of command was next exhi-
bited. Starting in close column of
twos, the alignment was changed to
fours, SKIES aud eights. then front into
line, and back into close column Of
twos, with as little variation as though
the men were puppets responding to the
wire. The more difficult wLeeiings were
not executed. Right wheel on centre
pivot and about.facing, left wheel, in
two ranks and four ranks, were repeated
several times, and when the command
finally halted in two perfectly dressed
ranks, applause was showe-e;i upon
them.
After more marching eyoiutione.

bayonets were fixed and the skirmish
drill performed. Bearing in mind the
necessity for keeping the spacing accu.
rate in this drill, their remarkable pro

twos, fours and eights. there was no bad
alignment, no mistake When the co:a-
mand took of their blind folds in two
ranks, their dress was as near perfect as
if they had measured every step Of the
various evolutions by eye. Their rifles
were next exchanged for Springfield
muskets with the old-fashioned bavo-
net, and the bayonet exercise performed
blind-fold. This drill, III its rapid
changes, with the greater variety OF po-
sitions in which the musket is held, de.
mands moro movement than the skir-
mish tactics. They were so successful
in the thrusts and parties, guard and
lunge, that etormy encore demanded
repetition. The closing performance
was the skirmish drill, with the blind
fold removed. The movement of rally
ing around the flag at hollow square and
in eights, with fankiug foura. was in
troduced for effect. aud was executed
with wonderful precision.

A New York letter says: delegates
to the Evangelical Alliance continue to
arrive in large numbers. Some dissatis-
faction is felt ut the decision of the
committee of arrangements to charge n
price Of admission to Irving Hall while
the proceedings are in progress. Seats
are also to be secured for the entire
series OF sittingS, for $40. This feature
will probably be modified before the
time of meeting. The objection to it
is that it imparts to the conference the
aspect of money making speculation

The Trial OF maIshai
the Surrender Of Metz.
Our dispatches this morning give an
interesting outline Of the opening pro-
coedipes against. Marshal BAzAnsE, at the
court martial in Versailles. BE Is being
tried for his honor, and perhaps his iiie;as
French soldier, and it Is charged against
him that his loyaltyto France was second
to his fealty to the Bonsparte dynasty.
Thai when the Empire iell at Sedan and
NAPOLEON yielded up his sword to the
German EXTERIOR, BAzANR proved faith
less to tie trust reposed in him, and that
trust involved, perhaps, the salvation Of
France.
The French people, in the depth Of their
humiliation OF the hands Of Prussia, have
no, been slow TO speculate as to how diff.
cult the result might have been II the
armies of Prince FREDERICK CHARLES
had been retained before the walls Of
Metz, and the French forces elsewhere
confronted only with the remainder Of the
German troops to the south OF Paris.
Asto Marshal BAzAINE himself, he has
been one Of the illustrious soldiers Of
France. Perhaps his great deicc. was
