LETTER FatoM TIIM GREAT GEOInIA IUA1IRsr-I-E TOUCHES SOME DIEN AND A FEW MEASURES. Ma. Eitt - I'm sorry I can't fill my proaiec to call on you. I'm goin home, I am. I'm tired of this ever lastii futs. There's some develment up, and I'm jubus about it. Poe hoard lots of talk in the Lerislaturo to-day. There's signs of fight. I don't think 9 dollars a day w.Iuldl pro. o o susl ho,tile language. One fel lor said they w.ls just roriu and Char gin for their const,ituents, and that was all 9 dollars gas, but it didn't mere there was shootina, and a mali killed. Thein again, I sec the nmem bers and the outsiders dividin up ina little squads about at night and whais periu and juglin and piroatin around. I heard one teller say "prolngation," and another any "hell," and another "dm, amnd I heard jaw teeth grit. I was a private in Corputs battery, and I know what a prolotng is. Its a big hemp rope, with hooks on the ends, what hitches thec cannon to the powder box. Th'ere's goin' to be shootin cr ttain, and somebody's goint' to be hurt, and [ want, (aptaina Coriput to under stand that I have resigned. I heard another crowd talkin about State aids. 1 suppose they are to be on the Gov erlor's staff. Brown had many a one in '63 and '4. Hal said ho had- '700, and Hal ought to know. A Stait tid is a good thing. Hie ean see the bat tie from afur off. The further the better for me. I beard a member say he was afreedl of all the State Aidsa would be killed, but that he should fight mnity hard on the road from Ma. con to Knoxville. Another said hie should do hais fighting between Rome and Columbus. If a man pick his ground it's a good thing. Mr. Eiditur, there's a heep of fuss generally. A nian tawked 2 days in the Hlouse about the peuitentiary and the conviks, and whippin and slashin anud delicate parts, etc. I thought ho thought a good deal of his-solf. I was sorry to see the members asleep while he was speakin-, for i think it was very disrespekful. 1 man said the spakist didn't care a dem for the con viks, but was jist playin his last card agin the Govnot and that he was then goin to sink down between Silla & Karyod is, unknell ed, uohonored and unsung. I notised his tawk #ab all about colored ~onviks ; he didn't seem to be sorry for a white man. A man itn the gallery was ppworful inad with sum editur-maybe it was you, I don't know--but he azed a men whether he would ,whi p the odi tur or not. The man said he didn't know and couldn'h say. for ho hadn't read the piece, but that as a general thing in the abstract it was right to whip 'em. Ef I was you I would carry a weopin of some soart, even of it was only an umbrella. I got tired of all this, and aauked over to Whitehall for peace. A friend [I suppose he was a friend] found me and soid he wanted to see me paition larly. IIe took inc away back and hauled out some little thumb papeis full of figures, and said he wanted me to insure my life. That skeerd me worse than anything, for itlooked like I was in danger, and he had just found it out. I axed him if he thought there would be a fight. le explained things to me, and I felt relieved, and decliu. ed to insure for the present. You see I felt wity well, and coulden't see the necessity. At the next coruer I met another friend, who seemed glad to see me exceedingly. IIe held my hand in his several moments. le axed me if my life was insured. He said he was agent for the very best company in the worlJ. I axed him how long a man would live under his cunipany. He then explained to me that a man might die at any time ; that they didn't undertake to keep a man from dyin. So I declined but expressed iy gratitude for his inter est in my welfare, and I promised to buy a policy as soon as I got sick. Just as I left him I heard him call some feller a dam phool. When I got to the hotel there was a feller waitin' for mne on the same business. He talked to me for an hour about the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death. I thought, perhaps, he was a missionary. He seemed much concerned about my wife and children, and once or twice wiped his eyes with a white pocket handkerchief. I knowed he was a friend, and told him I would reflect seriously about the matter. I believe that company is a purely philautliropio institution, and would lend a poor fellow a few dollars if he was suffurin' I think I will try to bor. row a little from their agent to-mor row. This morning the first one came to see me agin, and I concluded I was looking mity bad, and axed him to excu'se me as I was not foolin' well. I went to Dr. Alexander and got a dose of salts. He. axed me if I was sick. I told him I supposed I was, and the reason why. He then told me all about it, and said there was 100 of them fellers in town, and they all had augurs, long augurs, and they bired about half an inch at the first iaterview and an inch at the second in the same hole, and so on, until they got to tho hollow, and the patient give in and took a policy. I don't know about that, but I will say they are the friendliest, most sympathizen and kindest-hearted men I have ever struck ; only I don't like so much talk about erflius and grave-yards. I didn't take the salts. But, Mr. Editur, I tell you there is trouble a brewin'. I saw old Rock and General Gordon and Col. Styles a talking together, and old Tage was eut for off; old Rook's gray Peard was a wagin owniously, and old Gordon's' soars was a jimpin' about all over his face; Syles looked liko be wanted to eat somebody. I heard him say some thing about "Orgoan Stables," I sup po.se that is where hie keeps his war horse.s. Scott caine up and said some Lthing about the rear guard. HIe's the devel en rear guard, and the army knows it. Jim Waddell dropped in anid remarked he 'just as leave die as live if' old Rock said so.'' A t this muomnent a feller conmc along singin' "I feni, I feel, I feel, I feel like a Gritin "And if' ther's ftin' to be, why then, why then I'm thar." Shaoo fly, don't bodder me. The whole party looked like Gettys burg, and old Tige was just a waltin' for old RLock to tree. God bless 'emi all! I known they'll stand between me and danger. I toll you, Mr. Editur, that's troin.. ble a brewin'. Says I, Mr. Mack wherter, you are the Speaker, you know it all from the steepJe to the sellar ; you have capacity and sagaci y,and vivacity and rapacity, an dthe like of that, a la 'barbacue,' that is, front the snout to the tail-tell rme, do yeu think there will be a fight V" "Yes sur," said he, "yes sur; they will fight shore. They are obliged to fight. Old Bonaparte can't get out of' it, and Bismark has got a chin just like Joe Johnston. France wants a: bleed lettin' like we had-" "Is that fur off?" sais I; "I thot It was to begin in Atlanty to-nlte." "Oh, no," says he, and went on. I got sonme cornfort from my old friend, B1ev. Thornton. He said that if they did get up .a fight, the old soldiers wouldn't be in,to it much, ex cept the generals, for that the. original, conilsient. Union men, like J'psit Hill and Dunning, and Tom haffold and old man 8tewart, and Ackerman would make short work of it. lWe said they were mity slow men to get mad, and it had taken 'om shonb ten years to get to the bilin' plnt, but that suck fitin' as thdy would do now*.tho .wQrld nor the flesh nor the devilnever saw.

The retirement of the Emperor Napoleon from active service and General Lebeuf from command of the army, promises great things for France. The accession of Bazaiue and Troohu to the chief commands may put a new phase on the war prospect. Wegive brief biographies of the newly-risen notables who are relied upon to save Paris, and perhaps crip ple Germany : 1.tRSIIAL DAZAINE. Marshal Bazaine (Francois Achille] who is now in command of the Frenot field army, is the descendant of a family of soldiers. IIe is now sixty. one years of age le has the high reputation of being one of the brav. est officers in the French army. Il rose from the ranks, and in Gvo years from his enlistmeut gained his sub. lioutetnuncy and his cross on the field of battle. He dittinguished himself in Spain and Algiers. In om. iand' of the infantry brigade al Sebastopol, he performed valuab:, service. After the retreat of the Russians, he was Governor of Sabas, topol until the final evacuation by the allies. In connection with the Maxi. milian expedition to Mexico, he com. manded the Frouech contingent, suc. ceeding Forey as chief. His success over the Mexicans is familiar, but the termination of the war in this coun try, and the known disinclination' of the United States to foreign interfer. ence in An trioan affairs, animated the Mexicans with new hopes. Ba. saine, in council, advieed Maximilian that the empire was impossible. Ba. saine was recalled, Maximilian court. martialed and executed, and Napo leou II[. suffered such diminution of military prestige and political reputa. tion as can only be restored by the possible success of war with Prussia. GENERAL TRtOC)U. General Louis Jules Troohu is to. day undeniably the best soldier of soldier of France. Ho is now fifty. five years of age. A graduate of the staff school of St. Cyr, he was made lieutenant in 1840, and promoted to a captaincy in 1843. His staff ser vice was with that fine sold or Bu. ge.ud, in Algeria. Chief d'esadron and major in 1846, and lieutenant colonel in 1853; his first Europeai service was in the Italian c.mpaign. A t the eommencom.nt of the Crimean war he was made chief of the gene ral staff, and by reference to King. lake's Hliatory, it will be seen that in all confureoces with Lord .Raglan, Troohu, rather than St. Arnaud o Canrobort, wai spokesman on the part of France. Throughout the cam paign, having been made general ol brigade in 1854, he ocenpiedi the posi. tioni of conaldential staff officer of~ the comnmander-in-ohief, an officer ana lotious to that of Gneisenau under Blueher, given in just recognition ol his military ability and skill. In 1864 he reached his grade of general of division. Two years after he wats charged with the preparation of a plan to reorganise the army. Instead of, as has been suggested, lacking the imperial confidence, has it in the most flattering degroo. His essays upou organtization, "L J Br.nee Fracais.," published in 1867, ran through teni editions. Troehu is known to have anticipated the event of war with Prussia. A recent pamphlet from his pen, which unfortunately, cannot be obtained in this oountry, develops an immense deal of study of the Rhenish frontier as a fighting fiold, and palpa. bly Indicates the national impulses as occupying the strategist's mind. Two wreeks ago the Army and Navy .Jorunal giving this sketoh of Troohu, said;. "Should the war survive -its first battle a fortnight, and promise, as seems very likely, to be a lotig one, Trochu's name may chance to appear at the head of the French armies." This prediction has- been swiftly and, in part, literally fulfilled.

The paty bi the .infamotta Holde;Mil ipte '61 Kirk's minlions and' Grant' troops, has been gloriously ddfeated, and the Demnoorkes, 'tr , rathot' oo*dervatives have orarde.f. the .d a Ii Is that the anti:tadioalsa bv.

It becomes daily moro.evident that not only France, but alsa lru'sia, has for a number of years silently but 4teadily iade the most aotive prepa rations for the great struggle fou Eu ropean supremacy which has just now comm id between then This is not only indioated by a 'horough reorganization of both the French and tho German armies, but also by the strenuous efforts of each to produce weapons more improved and of greater destructivoiess than possessed by the other. It is claimed by the French that the Chessapot is an iraprovrment on the Zuudnadelgewehr, and, as long as the latter served thetu as a model, they are probably all right there Besides that, they have introduced into their artillery service a light fluid-piece, a kind of revalving can. non, called the mltrailleuse,~eaid to be most effeotive against infantry and eavalry. All of a sudden one hears, however, of several new inventons g(uiety io trodneed by Prussia, and first amongst. them a gun which can be fired twenty. two times a minute with~ case, and said to be a decided improvcment on both the Zundnadelgowehr and the Chessepot. In connection with this they have an improved arrangemeu. for carrying 200 rounds of ammunition. The superiority of this new gun becomes as once self-evident, inas much as the present needle gun can only be fired off about ton or twelve times a minute, and a soldier carries only sixty rounds of ammunition. It is, therefore, at least twice as effective as their present style of nee dle gun, and a considerable number of thenu have already been manufac tured and is ready to be distributed among the army. Another new in vention of which the Prussians seem to think much of, is a kind of heavy and very large rifle with a cast-steel barrel four and a half feet long, and mounted on two light wheels very much like a piece of artillery. It is named the wallbueehse or wall rifle, probably bceusoe a similar very heavy and long rifle h been in use during the middle ages for the de deuce of the walls and t,r f,of ens tiles- and -oh,r forti04 on. -Thd wall rifle has been distributed exclu sively among the infantry, every bat talion of which has now a number of them. It is aimed and fired off by a soldier kneeling behind it and catch ing the recoil, in order to steady the aim, by means of a padded cushion or saddle. The distance at which this new gun carries is very great, the same as that of the heaviest artillery. It shoot3 with great precision, and seems to be more particularly destined to be used against the enemy's artillery, fur the killing of the men serving the guns, their horees and the explosion of ammunition chests, although it may also be used against infantry and eavalry. The projectile is two and a half inches long, of east-iron, hollow, and filled with a highly explosive sub stance. It explodes, however, only when it strikes with its point, which is furnished with a slightly pr"jeoting knob pressing a needle into the charge, and thus causing an immediate explo. I sion. Besides thecse new inventions, nu merous improvenments haLve been in croduced, particularly in the artillery of both nations, ana most of them of, snoh a destructiveness to life and limb that this war will probably become the bloodiest oin resord. A FEA RFUL WCArPoN. The mitrailloure, which is as yet: untried in p)raetical warfare, is eon-i sidered by the French as the most: destructive military weapon known. Recently, three hundred *retohod horses, already condemned to the po-. leaxe, were purchased at the rate of four or five francs each, and ranged at a een8idorable distance. Trwo i trailleures were brought to play on them, and In three minutes after two discharges, not one of the aunmals remnained standing. On a econd 00-" caslon, five hundred horses -were~ brought down'at a single trial.

' e t it gne Affray at the Columbia Hotel. The Daily Republican of August the 6tRh contained an article headed "A Counter Indictment," in which the mist false, ealumnious and mali aious charges were m ide against Gen. M. C. Butler. The following para graph will give a suflioient inight into the insulting and outrageous char acter of the piece: We charge that Ml. C. Butler was recognized as the infamous leader of the blood3 Ku Klux gang; that he not t,mply connived at but participa ted in scores of murders; in fact, that his own wicked hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of inno cent men, women and ohildreot, butch erod in political prejudico and hate. We demand that he prove unquali fiedly the contrary or be branded as a fiendish murderer. Capt. Geo. Tupper, of Charleston, Special Agent of the Carolina Life Iusurance Company, and a warm per onal friend of Gen. Bu lor, in whose command be served during the war as one of those "unwilling men forced to fight," as alleged by the Republi can, had just read on Sunday noruiug the article above referred to, when Mir. Morris, one of the editors of that paper made his appearance in the en try of the Columbia Hotel. Capt. Tupper, determined to defend his ab sent friend from snb foul asperations, immediately approached Mr. Morris and demanded to know if he was the author of the article. Mr. Morris stated that he was one of the editors of the Republican, and responsible for any editorial article it contained. With that he received a slap in the face, accompanied by a stunning blow of the fist that sent him whirling across the passage. He bristled up and showed fight when firEt approached but the rapid and vigorous attack proved too much for his carpet-bag valor, and he fled precipitately for the stair-vase, his speedy tears receiv ing additional impetus from a lever power, strenuously applied at every jump, in his rear. The "poate,-iuri" argument was more than the hireling could withstand, and he went leaping to the upper regions of the hotel mid the uproarious laughter of the by stand ers. Though devoid of personal courage, the fighting editor showed that he. possessed a full share of low Yankee spite, and of that prudence which is the better part of valor "lie who fighis and runs away May live to fight another day." The spirited representative of the ring had not even the distant courage of another day, but made speedy ap plio-tion to a magistrate and had Uapt. Tupper placed under bond to keep the peace, and to appear at the next holding of the Court of General Sesions, to answer a charge of assault and battery. Tf Mr. Morris and his co-editors continue to make their edi torai columns the vehioles of personal abuse and insults against such men as General Butler, they may expect to receive frequent repetitions of the cas. tigation administered by Captain Tupper. Whatever a consciousness of guilt, coupled with a want of manly valor, may induce political adventu rers to submit to, the high-toned gen. tieman of South Carolina will never allow their good names and ehdiacters to be tradueed with impunity.

Coloncl Simon's Remarks. Colonel Simona, after alluding to the formation of the Union Reform Party and its groat progressin the low country, addres.,ed a few seunsible remarks to the colored people. His address was most hapily framed, andi produced' a very marked impression upon the colored peo ple. TUILtNO0AT 11OGE. He said that while in the up country, in 1b67, lie met one Captain Iloge, who was afterwards elected to Congress. Hoge had said to him that he (Hoge) was a Democrat, and had been one all his life ; Congress ot.ght never to have given the right of suffrage to the negroes, as they were no better than brutes ; he only wished that. the race had one throat, so that he might cut it, and so free the white people. On last Friday he had met Hoge in Columbia, and he (liege) had coie up to him and said : "You eee I have been defeated. The negroes have be. trayed me. If your party would only run a good Republican for the Third Congressional District you would win." le, the speaker. then asked where was a go->d R,publican to nominate when a friend of Iloge, stading by, remarked that Hoge was the man. The Reform party would not touch hi with a forty foot pole. (Great cheering.) TiE itSVEItKN) itASOAl.. lie then proceeded to show to the colored people that the Scott Ring did not represent the great. Republican party of th country. That they had rather di.?graced the party, amd instanced the case of that ittit igated rascal, Cadet Broker Whitteniore. le read an aritcle from a late number of New York Tribune, stating that if the District Attorney of South Carolina, had at. tended to his busin's, Whiittemore would not be at lnrg.", but in the p,-i rentiary where he hlong ed, and the Republican party might be saved another diagrace, . viz : his aeconid re election. During his entire speech Colonel Simons was listened to wit h marked a, ten Liuon by the colored people. Save that every now and then a drunken vagabond, one of Scott's tools would awake from his drunken sleep and shout, in faint tones, "Rahi I for Guvter Scott." R. B.'Cfrpetier's Speech.

A UNITU G EIIANY.---Tho ?ibune says: After all, the notable fact of the war is not that each side is enthu siastic, or that splendid armaments are used, or that all Europe seems verging upon the struggle. The no table fact is that King William, at the Prussian headquarters, commands the army of united Germany. Tho dream of German philosophers and statesmen for a century has been a. complisbed by the rudo stroke of Beinedetti's diplomnoy In an hour. The soldiers of Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and petty German States, that a year ago wo-ild almost as soon have thought of fighting under the French tri-color us beneath the Prussian eagles, dow acept the orders of the Crown IPrinoe as if they wore already a part of the Prussian nationality. The battles to be fought may be lost or won by Prussia, but the grand issue of the war is alreadly won. German unity, from the day that the troops of the smaller German Governments were turned over to King William, was an acoompliahied fact. Thelm New York Herald makes the following truthful comments upon the result in North Carolina: "Governor Holden's adininistra. tion is a decided failure ; too mlueb of the State legislation wvas for the bene. fit of a particnlar race, itistead of people ; and in every department affairs had becoine so muddled that any change would be for the better.
