The arrival of the news of Russia's in
tention to assist Servia Ihas created no
inconsiderable interest as TO her military
ability and organization. Hence, obser-
vations on the ukase OF January Is,
1874, by which the entire military sys-
tenn founded by Peter the Great, perfected
by Alexander and Nicholas, was or
ganized, are pertinent. By that edict
the armed forces of the empire consists Of
standing army and militia. The former
embraces land and naval troops, and the
latter are men between the ages of twenty
and forty, not in the standing army. who
can do military duty. No physically
sound Russian subject is exempt from
military service The entire empire is
vast recruiting ground. Even young
men in the liberal professions do not
totally escape, although their period of
service is limited Fifteen years is the
full term OF military service for all eX-
cept Cossacks whose service Is lifelong.
Six Of this i active, nine IN the reserve.
The infantry and the cavalry of the
army have "a their military unit the
division. composed of four regiments !;
artillery, ri1emen and engineers being
formed into brigades. Each division of
infantry consists of two brigades; each
/ brigade of two regiments OF three bat
/ tallions each; each battalion of four COM
I panies, and each company of two hun
: dred and fifty men. In 1875 the Russian
army was estim ted at $50 900 men, but
I double this number, with 900, 900 horses,
could, in the event Of war. be brought
into reguisition. The regular army COM
prises one hundred and ninety-twO regi-
ments of infantry, tifty-six regiments
OF cavalry and 1886 guns Besides this
the Cossacks have one hundred and fifty
three mounted regiments, thirty-Seven
battallions on foot and twentyeight bat
teries.
Scarcely less formidable is the Russian
navy. the administration Of which is in
the hands Of the minister Of marine, AS
sisted by an admiralty council Though
its supreme command of the fleet Is in

present IS the Grand Duke Constantine,

% still hold that, although at present
the cost of production in America IS

The MASONIC Festival.

To the Editor Of Hawkins County department.
The "Greatn Masonic Festival at
Church Hill, Hawkins county, passed off
on June Gath, to the entire satisfaction
of all lovers of feast of the intellect
ual, eyes and stomach. At an early hour
on the morning of the gath, the mem
bers Of Clay Lodge, together with visit
ing brethren from adjacent and distant
Lodges Of tho fraternity, assembled in
their Lodge-room, clothed themselves in
proper regalia and then made a slight
display before the assembled crowd by
marching a short distance and seating
themselves near the speakers stand,
where they were delighted and made to
feel glad that they were members of the
Mystic host by the eloquent address of
the Rev. J. w. Bachman, of ChattanOo-
ga. Brother Bachman is young in years
of masonry, but demeaned himself and
the cause he represented this day as one
of ripper years, and we bespeak for him
frequent calls in future Ia portray the
beauties and benefits of our tlme-hOnor-
ed institution The dying accents of
Rev. Bachman's address, as they came
echoing back from the mountain fast
nesses hard by, were taken up by Rev
David Sullins, no ''lesser light" and
the members Of tho brotherhood were
again refreshed with oopious flows of
masonic feasts of reason. 1t is useless
for us to expaciate upon the address of
brother Sullins, to know that he is pres
eDt, whether in the pulpit, on the ma
sonic rostrum, or in the classic school
room, is to feel assured that the cause
will be nohly represented.
Brother Chas. r. Vance, Esq, of Bris-
toll, closed the debate in his peculiar and
eloquent style, and we but give express
sion to all attentive listeners on the oc-
casion, when we say that in this triang-
ular debate each one of the speakers
bore his corner to the satisfaction of tho
masons present, and for the good of ma.
sonry generally.
The officers of the Lodge, elect, were
publicly installed, and all Jared sump-
tuously at the table. Good order was
observed g.

e The race for Circuit Judge in this
Judicial Circuit is in no wise political
contest. Judge Mckinney has never
been politician. He has never run for
political office; has never been desir-
Gus of political honors or nOtoriety. His
profession has been the law; he has been
a close student, is well informed and
thoroughly conversant with all the rules
of practice. He is in the prime of a Wig
orous manhood, is industrious, firm, up
right and just. His character for hon
esty and manly honor has never been
questioned. If he should be elected, as
we believe he ought to be, and will be,
he win be apt to hold all his Courts at
the proper time, and he will be sure to
put the peoples business through with
as much dispatch as justice and fair,
full understanding of the different cases
will admit Of.
OF one of Judge McKinney's oppo-
nents (COl. Netherland) we cannot speak
unkindly- We are sorry, very sorry, he
persists in running the race. We had
marked out something higher for him;
but the old gentleman must have his own
way in this matter. And even of Mr..
Butler we have nothing harsh to say.
we leave him in the hands of his own
peculiar friends If they can swallow
Roderick, that is their business. Let
them gulp him down.
Judge McKinney's friends present him
upon his merits mot as Democrat, not
as a Wing, but as man and a lawyer,
in every way qualified for the position
We believe he VIII be triumphantly
elected.
