A NATION OF SOLDIERS. Hon. John
Forsyth, editor of the Mobile Register,
Is in Berlin, and has discovered that the
Germans 'are nation of soldiers" So
they are Every citizen is soldier
upon tho principle that every citizen
belongs to the State. They ali receive
military education, and when the
armies are summoned to iepol an iu-
vader or to avenge wrong. instead Of
having raw and unframed ievies, Ger
many gathers under her banner IL host
OF skilled and disciplined warriors. Yet,
With all their fondness for arms, tho
dernoans furnish the best SCHOLARS and
tue deepest thinkers of tho age. They
excel in literature as well as in the field.

That Mechanic" meant to do right in cri.
ticising the subject, we have no doubt;

While we have no reason, far lose any

To do this. it seems to us, the parties
who liberalIy stepped into the breach,

bility there might be, and were willing
to stand by the credit OF the city, have
done the most; and those who would

most choice feature of this elegau: sh ow,

the display afforded for an appreciative

twelve massive centre poles are required

TO the Editor Qfthe State Journal:
Wo is us, for we are undone! Alas, is
me! The big judge got a bill through the
legislature consolidating the townships, and
now Providence is no more! Oh, that
men should fly in the face of Providence
Our township existence is wiped out from
the map of the world! Our local self-gov-
eminent is taken away! But we could
stand all that. The little boy said he did
not cry because his mother had put no mo-
lasses on his bread, ut was he disposi-
ton of the old acomann' That's
it exactly. It's gerrymanderng
of the smallest kind. Providence went
10 urant last year and Lee went heavy
conservative. The mere idea Of being
merged into Lee township is enough to
make man emigrate. Pve walked ten
miles in Lee township through scrubby
growth of chestnuts, oaks, and pines, on
road that had no fence or signboards, but
numerous forks, and saw but one cabin
and one man, and that someway off. 1t
made me think of tale in Arabian Nights
of terribly desolate road up mountain,
the way lined with black stones. Only
here the stones were flint, and the soil ~
was white clay. They had not harvested
their persimmons yet, but like the Arabian
traveller | faltered not, but made haste to
get into better country. Well have
nice time now attending to our little road
and school matters in town thirty miles
long or thereabout. Party interests are
the same in these matters. 1t makes no
difference whether he be a Democrat or
Republican who works the road or
improves the school-house, so long
as i is done, and done fairly. The
>7lector and assessor will enjoy it doubt
less, this increase of territory. And Jones
and Robinson will enjoy having the asses
sor sit at Smiths house, ten miles off, and
assess his and all the other lands as Smith
A nice thing truly is this consol-
idation But the worst thing about it is
this being made part of Lee township.
It's adding insult to injury.
