The French People.

The French people, high and low,
have a love Of country which il uncon-
trollable. They have an intense devo-
ton to the soil itself. They almost
never emigrate. They are poor colon.

get home again as soon as possible. So
the glory OF France is with the French
the paramount idea and it has been
well said that, while the E%nglishman is
proud because so fine Il country belongs
TO HIM, the Frenchman is proud because
he belongs to SO fine a country. The
French are a yivacious, animated race.
They abound in sentiment, but not il
romance-that is, the deep, spiritual
romance OF our northern race. They
spend no time in introyersion they
think rather than reflect. They arc
thoroughly material. This is the repul-
sive side Of their character. They dis
sect an emotion as a bOtanist does a
flower, 10 explain it's fragrance, when
We only wish to enjoy it. 1t is by rea-
son of these qualities they excel in
chemistry, in physiology, in the exact
sciences. Their works on engineering,
gunnery, architecture, bridging, aud SO
on, are the best. Ladies know the value
Of French %colors. They excel, too, in
the highest grades of manufactures, and
in the petty in]tricacles Of the cook
room. They lead the world in all mat
ters Of taste, where those matters appeal
strictly to the senses. We can scarcely
term such a people volatile" They
are perseyeringly Industrious, which is
not consistent with what is volatile.
They show their material side, and we
should add, their good sense, in the
way the very poorest indulge in recrea.
lions. And while the religious senti.
ment is very strong with a large class,
they certainly cultivate tho habit OF
making the most Of life, ms if here were
the end-all and tho be-all. For the
rest, France is feminine. Outside of
the characteristics we have given, her
qualities are feminine qualities. She is
philosophical in the sciences. She is
philosophical in all that relates to ma
terial life. But, touching the question
OF the hour, she is carried clear away
by impulses which to us are inexplica,
bic. Caricatures, n jeu d'esprit, a tell.
ing play, n story Of suffering or wrong,
in fact whatever appeals to the senses
or the sensibilities, have an effect which
it is utterly impossible for an Anglo.
Saxon to comprehend. Further, they
are exceedingly sensitive, their amour
propre is easily wounded, and the slight
never forgiven. / am forced to add,
they have a national vanity exceeding
that of any other people, which is dis.
played on every occasion. Gatary.

CULLEOKA ETElES.

One of the saddest events attending
the prevalence Of fluX in our communal
tV was the death of Rev. w. A. Vessels,
Mr.. Vessels was from near TalIadega,
Ala,,-Was preparing for admission
into one of the Conferences of the Meth
Odist Church. Near twelve months
since, he came to this place to attend
Prof. Webb's school. With but limited
means, he was working his way through
the usual course of instruction, seeking
to pay his board and other expenses by
his own efforts and labors. He was a
close student, a strict observer of the
rules of the school, consistent in his
piety and loved and respected by his as
sOciates. From the, beginning of the
disease he was in sOhltWay the nurse of
the sick. No labor, NJ sacrifice, no eX-
posture did he avoid to aid and help
those who were sick. Early il August
he had symptoms Of the disease, but in
so light form as not to excite any fears
on his part in fact be concealed from
others his condition so long, that when
he applied for medical aid the disease
had fixed itselftOo deeply into his vitals
to be arrested. He died on Monday
morning at one o'clock, the 18th inst,
as the Christian dieth. A large con-
course of people attended his funeral at
the Methodist Church. The services at
the church and the grave were conduct
ed by his Pastor, Mr. Orman, and by the
p. q. Lodge MaSOns.
Rev. Mr.. OrmaB, who has been absent
recuperaLing, was again in his pulpit
last Sunday in improved health. There
was also preaching in the Baptist Church
by Mr.. StOddert.
Hopes aro entertained that we are
now about free from the huX, and that
our people viii be themselves again, 2
Messrs, j. II. ID. Williams & Co, have
commenced work on their new building.
They propose to put up a steam pow,
er to be used in the dressing of lumber,
making furniture and other purposes.
Mr.. John Hobbs is delivering lumber
ter the erection ola new dwelling house.
Mr.. John NJ. Webb has returned from
a visit to his relatives in Nashville. IT
is SAID he could not convince the people
that he was Joint Principal of the Gull
leoka Institute, they thinking he was
only pupil in the same. So much for
being both young IO0LiRg and handsome.
There are several free schools now in
operation in this district, aud they will
draw off a number OF pupils from the
McssTs. Webb during their fall ses-
sion. Why Is IL we cannot have school
law that will aid rather than lessen the
helps to the acquisition Of knowledge ?
The present law, 6ORStT3lctjUcLy, al least,
puts a premium on ignorance. 1t pros
Yides for certain branches Of education,
and denies all the benefits of the school
fund to any who may have already ac-
quired those branches, and who do not
need fartherinstructiou in them. Men
who expect go to the Legislature would
do we'll to study these laws so they may
be prepared TO make amendments that
will give the benefits of the fund to all
the children in SOME form or other.
Prot. Webb's school will open next
Monday, and already a Number OF
boarding pupils have arrived, ready to
begin with the beginning.

HURRICANE SWITCH ITEMS.

We are sorry to say that crops are looking
very badly in this neighborhood after such flint
prospects in the spring, which have beer
blasted by the drouth : and such being the
condition of the crops Throughout this portion
of the county, there will be but little fodder
pulled, as the corn would be injured still
more by pulling the fodder from it. Cotton
in some places looks favorable, but it IS diff
fcult matter to determine now what the gene.
raj crop of cotton will average,
People of this vicinity are now put to theI
wits to know what step to make towards pre-.
pairing for the camp citing which Is just a

erous enough to kill the last old family chick
en- they have on such an occasion, and 1t is
hoped that people from abroad viii come and
enjoy the meeting, so that it may be carried
on with a result of much good being done.
There has been a great deal OF sickness,
through this section of country The diseases
are principally dyseatery affections, cholera
mOrbus and one or two cases OF real cholera,
so it is pronounced by some OF the doctors,
who no doubt have good reasons for saying
so. MIR. Thomas Cheatham had very severe
attack of the cholera last Saturday, but is now
improving some; and since that time one of
his children has been sick with the same dis
ease. DIR. Matthews is about the only Doctor
from this neighborhoOd that has been called
to attend such cases, and he has had very good
success. He is noted as being very skiIful
and attentive physician,
For he has no wife to bother his lie,
Nor lover to prove untrue;
And has nothing to do from morn till night,
But to paddle his own canoe.
