' " -The" language of Thursday's, leading article of the French paper in Pew York, the Courrier "djte'Etate.Uhlpylsver^^ The Courrier, it is well known, has always been a warm sup? porter of Napoleon, but the news from "France, it'seems, leads that paper now to give the sign of alarm. Under the head of "Sursum ^Corda," lt says.: "What matters that there isa maa 'named O lil vi er, if this man leaves us to be beaten ' . What matter that there is a man named Napoleon, .if Napoleon, is caduc and his hand too feeble to hold the sword f We do not know anybody when there ls question of the salvation, of the honor, of the grandeur of France. Let the power be trusted to whom ?soever shall take lt, and in whatever form it may be, be it this Incarnation of the people, be it a monarchy or a republic-ou: let them give na victory." . -The Paris correspondent ol thc New York Times writes : "An impression prevails, both In England and America, that the war will not be!?pong.duration. This Idea ls founded on the marvellous improvement in artillery and arms of all descriptions, and ls partly J ustlfled ."by the rapidity of the Prussian conquest in the .war with Austria. But I can assure those who entertain the Idea that it is a fallacious ono. - The present war is undertaken under very dif : ierent circumstances from any previous one: The point at Issue ls the supremacy in Europe,' and the two nations which are now lace to * face are the first mllltvy powers.ln the world. The contest must, therefore, be a rude one. 2he Emperor Indulges In none of*the Illusions 'Which the official bureau ot publicity would .fain encourage In the public mind. He says .plainly In his proclamation that 'the war which is now commencing will be long and trying. At the same time his confidence In the success .of the French arms is au ?avering." -With a view io Increasing She small nava: force now at h's disposal, and which ii wholly I inadequate for the protection of the coa.-t against the war vessels of France, the King cf Prussia offers to charter-and arm, at the pub? lic expense, any number of Bhips that will take part In the pending .hostilities. Thc crews will have to be supplied by the owners, sub? ject to the approval of the government. They will wear the uniform of the Federal navy, and be treated in every respect on an equal looting. If a ship thus chartered be injured or destroyed, she will be paid for by the government; if, on the other hand, she capture or destroy a hostile vessel, she will receive a premium of 50, 000 thalers for an iron-cased frigate; 30, 000 thalers for an iron-cased corvette, or ram, 20,000 thalers for an iron battery, 15,000 thalers for a screw-vessel, and 10,000 thalers for a screw of smaller dimensions. If a ship is neither herself injured nor successful In In? juring the enemy, she must content herself with the pay of the crew, and with a hire amounting to one-tenth her appraised value. These terms are sufficiently liberal to induce the owners of many German vessels, now idle, to proffer them to the government, and al? though but few of them are so constructed as to be able to compete with the French iron? clads, it ls thought that the volunteer navy thus recruited will be able to render efficient aid in protecting the more exposed portions of the coast. , The Work of Two Monthx. Three months ago there seemed to be no hope whatever of extricating the State from the political and financial embarrass? ments which followed in the train of''the Scott administration, and are its.only claim' if claim it be, upon the support and confi? dence of the people. Thc leading minds of the State were either; discouraged by the failure of earlier efforts tp bring about the adoption of a practical aud^progressive poli? cy, or else awaited gloomily the coming of some- new revolution which might accom? plish for them what they would not attempt for themselves. The people had lost their confidence in themselves, and ia their old leaders. Without purpose, without any fixed line, of action, weighed down by exces? sive taxation, oppressed by unjust law3, bankrupt of gladness and cheerful expecta? tion, richoniy in poverty and the calmness of despair, they looked forward to the re-elec? tion of the Ring candidates as a settled fact, and did not dream of entering upon a can? vass which had not the slightest chance of success. They preferred to throw them? selves upon the mercy of their antagonists; for. as they thought, whatever was thus gained, however little, would be a clear profit to them and to the State. Nor wus the despondency of the people without cause. They saw, and knew, that any canvass con? ducted upon the.ba3i3 of that bf . 1E6S, when our people fought so gallantly a losing fight, could not possibly terminate success? fully. And they saw no prospect that any other policy could be adopted, with any cer? tainty that it would commend itself to the support of whites and blacks alike. It was necessary to lay anew the foundation of the political temple, and no man ventured to point out him. who should be the master builder. The constant and persistent argu? ments, and the hearty word3, of a few journal? ists did, at last, set the people thinking. They vero made to feel the necessity of change, and of working to secure it. Next came the Press Conference, which at any earlier period would have been premature and with? out result. That Conference, representing a majority of the anti-Radical press of the State, adopted a declaration of principles which was a plain and frank recognition of existing facts and existing laws. At the same time the Conference invited the people to assemble in convention in June, for the purpose of organizing an opposition to the corrupt Ring which, encircling the whole State, wa3 cramping the energies and paralyzing the industries of the people. The action of the Pres3 Conference was very gene? rally approved of, but here aud there it had, upon the ground of expediency, active and formidable adversaries. But day by day the people showed more clearly their apprecia? tion of its sound common sense and honesty of parp?se. What lukewarmness, what sub? tlety of reasoning, what hopelessness of feeling, what sharp autagonism, was over? come before the State Convention could meet, it needs not now to tell. The Conven? tion met in Columbia on the day appointed, representing, for the first time, iu South Car? olina, the interests of all races and all classes of citizens. Several counties had no voice in the councils of the Convention; more than one delegation was fn favor of doing noth? ing; but the work of the body was pushed forward, aud, thanks to the noble courage of half-a-dozen eminent men, the Union Re? form party was formally orgauized, and made its formal appeal to the sympathies and the good sense of the people. That convention finished its work two short mouths ago, and in that time much' more than enough has been done to prove that the Union Reform party can, will and must win, if the people take the trouble to make it successful. What has been done in these eventful months? The up-country wa3 cold and drearily apathetic; now, it i3 full of life and energy, and the Grt of its enthusiasm stretches down toward the coast. Judge Carpenter, our candidate for Governor, was compara? tively unknown to the people; now, hi3 progress through the State ii a long series of personal and oratorical triumphs. Geue ral Butler, our candidate for Lieutenant Governor, was disqualified from holding public ofiice; now, he is, by the action of j Congress, a free man, and arraigns the guilty Scott upon charges which danni him in the estimation of all decent people. The leading men of the State were opposed to the Reform movement, or did not care to support it: now, Kershaw and Butler, and Carpenter and Cornier, have at their backs the Bonhams aud Perrys, a nd .Wardlaws aud Mannings, and Dutikin3 and DeSi'.ussures and Butledges of the State. It was hard to rind an old party chieftain who would publicly declar? his adhesion to the party of Reform ; nov/, one must'hunt during a su.mmer'3 day to find half a dozen notable men who do not warmly support iL The masses of the peo? ple were careless and indifferent ; now, they are awake and their hearts beat high with hope. The freedmen were sceptical and timid; now, they join the party by hundreds every week and attend the Reform meetings by thousands. The papers of the North, Democratic aud Republican, paid no heed to the e?brt making in South Carolina to ob? tain an hucest government; now, the Dem? ocratic journals defend the wisdom of the Reform platform, and the Republican jour nais denounce the iniquities of the Scott Bing and spur us on to victory. The white people -of the State were broken up and divided;' now, they stand squarely and firmly together. This is what has been done. And it could only have been done iv. ODe way-upon a platform which ignored party issues, which secured the equal rights of all classes, which, by its moderation and fair? ness, compelled the confidence of Democrat and Republican, white mau and black. Nor would this have been enough. The Union Reform movement ia the work of the people, and not of a few party leaders. The people give the party its strength, and those who were accustomed to lead now swim with the popular tide. Having accomplished so much, why can? not the people accomplish the rest ? There are two months before us, and if only half as much progress be made in those two month3 as has been made since the adjourn? ment of the Reform Convention, Carpenter and Butler will be elected beyond a shadow 1 of doubt. The past must be the encourage? ment of the future. If every white man and colored mac in South Carolina goes to the, polls on the third Wednesday in October, twenty thousand colored votes will give the elections to the Reform party. This is the worst. And as in two months a small body of earnest workers have cy3tallized public sentiment, and have united the whites of the State, who will dare to say that sixty thou? sand white citizens cannot, in two months more, convince twenty thousand colored men that their only prudent and honest course is to vote with the Union Reformers ? We have the power to win, and if we fail, the fault will be that of the white people of the State. Let every three white men secure one colored vote, and the day is ours. Who will deny that this can be, and ought to be, done? _ _ _ The Laud Commission. The Uoionville Times shows that in Union County only one man has received any bene? fit from the Land Commission. That man is June Mobley, a member of the State Legislature, and an out-and-out Scottite. June has iu his possession a 120 acre tract of land bargained for by the Land Commis? sion, and still unpaid for. The Tunes asks : "Now, why wa3 not this land cut up into "two or three tracts and distributed among "as many working colored meD, who are "honestly striving to earn a home for their "families? Why was a merni)er of the Leg? islature, who has been receiving S6 a day "for some months, permitted to monopolize "it? The only answer we can give is this "June Mobley is a pet of the Ring. That "the Ring can afford to be abused about "this and other of its iniquitous acts, we "don't doubt, for it made $90,000 out of the "Land Commission scheme alone. They "will stand any amount of abuse so long as "they get so well paid in greenbacks.*' A CORRESPONDENT of the Laurensville Her? ald asks his fellow-voters to look at the new offices created by toe Ring, and their sala? ries, and then calculate the cost in the whole State. In Laurens the auditor's salary i3 $1000; assessor's $1000; county commission? ers' $1200; school commissioners' $1000; court expenses for State witnesses, ?fcc, $1000; all these offices unknown to better days and economical government. Look, too, at the constabulary, the militia, and other extravagant expenditures, and then calculate, if you can, the amount taxed for State offices, State expenses, and stealage. Can any man doubt that Reform is neces? sary, and that voting for Carpenter and Butler is the only way to obtain it ? A Good Example. Ex-Congressman Whittemore "withdraws "his name from the candidacy of the Forty "second Congress," and premises to use for the success of "whoever may be the favor? ite''of the Convention "the same energy "and untiring effort" which he has put forth "in his own behalf." Even Whittemore is. afraid to tie his fortunes to those of Scott and Ransier. The rats are leaving the sinking ship. _ WE should like to know whether Governor Scott is afraid to meet Judge Carpenter and General Butler on the stump. A's his politi? cal friends regard Scott as one of the minor Gods, be ought not, for their sake, to evade the responsibilities of his position. WE should like to have an explanation of the queer laud purchase by the Land Ring, noted iu our Columbia correspondence. What can the Walhalla Courter tell us about it? tost ano ifonn?.
