There has been some decline in both rents and prices of almost all sorts o? real estate, except, perhaps, In a few peculiar oases, and especially, those |1 dwellings ruling at high figures. Smaller properties are less numerous in tho market, -but, from the fact that many of them have worn bute upon them "for sale" and "to rent'' . lor a considerable time, lt ls evident that they -are still held above the market. -Quite a number of assistant marshals en? gaged In taking the eighth census In the Southern States during 1860, have not yet been paid. An appropriation for that purpose was recently made by Congress, and the accounts, when audited, will be In a form similar to the -one agreed upon for settlement of the accounts of the present census, so far as circumstances -will permit. The Secretary of the Interior is , authorized to prescribe the form of oath which 11 will be necessary for the claimants to take before they can be paid.

She had /or the past three years successfully disguised herself, passing for a boy.

If the French diere enter battle now in this pack-h( style, lt is not surprising that they have some of their ?lan. ? .. , Tiie Pru ?stan Military System. A writer in the 'Baltimore Suit- expia clearly and concisely, that Prussian milli system, whose wonderful power and per tion have been developed in the short weeks which have elapsed since France blared war against the house of Hohen: lern. Its fundamental principle is, t every citizen owes his services to th? co try. At a tap of the drum everybody i? arms; nothing can keep them back-neil business, affections, workshops nor famil Prussia has proved herself to be the o country which, in time of peace, Ls prepai for war. By law, every Prussian is' a ? di?r; .and the Prussian armies are in v truth the best blood and bone and sinew the people. , Prussia has been spoken of as an an holding n country rather than a couti having an army. The regular army consi of men from twenty to twenty-five years age, in which ail must serve three years, e cept professional men, students, &c, who term of active service is one year. Tb term being served, the Prussian enters t Landwehr, or militia, which is divided in two levies. The first comprises all men frc twenty-six to thirty-two years of age, and war is employed the same as the regul army. The second levy consists of men fro thirty-three to thirty-nine years of age, ai is liable to be called out in time of war I the purpose of garrisoning the fortres3e There is also an irregular force (Landsium composed of men over thirty-nine and ni tier sixty years of age, which is, howeve anly a local force for defensive purpose) and is never called out except in extrem cases. When war is declared there is n delay. The militia, so-called, bnt who ai in reality graduates of the army, are, b< sides, regularly drilled every year, so th s when they ore summoned to arms in an village or town only a few hours elapse b< fore they are efficiently in the ranks, on tb way to the point where their services are rt quired Another Important fact, which gives a unparalleled facility of movement to Pru: sla's military operations, is that they ar?*n? encumbered with an unwieldy commissariat but in towns where there are no barracks th troops are quartered upon the citizens.*"! European correspondent states that the cit; receives them from the government and tht individual families from the city authorities, with DO privilege of appeal For their keep' ing an established allowance is afterward: paid by tbe government. For example, when Heidelberg lately received her quota, this instruction concerning them appeared : The Einquartierten (the quartered soldiers] shall be contented with the board enjoyed by the quarterer and his family. Wine, beet or cigars they shall not demand. Incase either party is dissatisfied, the following legally-established bill of fare is to be adopt? ed as the daily allowance of each man-one and a half pounds bread; three quarters pound fresh or salt meat, or half pound Bnioked beef or mutton, or third pound bacon ; of vegetables, quarter pound rice, or the customary groats, or half pound meal, ar three-quarters pound potatoes.; of salt, ane-quarter ounce; of coffee, three-quarters Dunce browned, or seven-eighths ounce un? crowned. The great convenience of this ar? rangement is obvious at a glance. On the other hand, while the Prussians have pos? sessed this important advantage, there are complaints by the French that their commis? sariat, owing to the suddenness of the war, lias been badly supplied. The immense Prussian military machine is susceptible of being put in motion as readily EIS If Lt included only the hundred men who osed to compose the standing army of a small German principality. Not only is the machine as powerful as it can be made by human ingenuity, but it seems to be operat? ed by engineers of consummate ability. The war of Prussia with Austria disclosed the Tact that there was a master spirit in the or? ganization of armies and the conduct of war it the head of Prussian military affairs. It lid not need that contest to demonstrate Prussian valor, but what astonished the nrorld was a celerity of military movement ?qualling that of the French, who used, in the times of Napoleon, to dash upon their enemies like a thunderbolt, and overcome them before they had fairly warmed up to their work. Much has been said of the needle-gun, but it is clear enough now that the chief signifi? cance of tint improvement was the evidence it afforded of the sleepless military enter? prise of Prussia, showiag more wakefulness than France in that respect, for the inven? tion of the chassepot might never have beeu made, but that it was stimulated by the suc? cess of the needle-gun. Certain it ?3 that :he chassepot, though said to be a superior iveapon to the Prussian gun, has not availed JO overcome those who carry the latter, thus ieeming to show that it is the military sys ;em, the discipline and the leadership, the nrhole inspired by an intense national ardor, ?hieb, must be counted among the promi ?ent agencies of Prussian success. All ac lounts represent that this last most impor aut element of strength has never been nore fully developed in Germany than at he present moment. It is not at all proba ?le that the German love of country 13 great t than that of any other people. That pas- 1 iou, so powerful in the human heart, and 1 rblch. has been recognized as sacred even '1 bj the voice of inspiration, ia as universal as it is powerful. But it is the greateood for? tune of Prussia tfiat at one of tfte^cIrtxMt? cal junctures of her national existence, thia immense -motlve^power,- inVteaa* of being blotto; wildly o? andvexptadir^ Itselfin vapor and noise-, has been seized and ap? plied Ulce steam to the propulsion of the'vast military machine which the foresight and in? genuity of PrussU} had prepared, and which thus far serais to be capable of bearing.down all resistance. ' .* _ MR. WM. E. MIKELL, one of the most promising of the younger'members of the Charleston Bar, died': yesterday "morning,, after a painful illness. ' No man of his age was more trusted or loved; nor was it doubt? ed that his ability and industry would make his'mature years profitable to himself and honorable to the State. Tax Logic. AN elaborate statistical statement of in? creased, or decreased, public debt is not the argument which strikes- with most effect upon the ears of the people. They look to their own homes. When they find that they have less bread, meat and clothing than they had two years ago, and that the money ex? acted from them by the tax-gatherer, in ex? cess of the demands of previous years, would have given them all the comforts, whose loss they feel so keenly, then do they know that the State Government is extrava? gant and oppressive, and that, if they would live honestly, lt must be reformed. All the casuistry and special pleading of Attorney General Chamberlain, and his companions, will not convince a taxpayer that he ls bet? ter off with his taxes at a hundred dollars in 1870 against flfty dollars In 1868. The prac- ! tical logic of such a letter as the following | one, is worth a column of flowery rhetoric: HARTSVO.LE, DARLINGTON COUSTV, 8. C., J August 10,18T0. ) TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Gentlemen-In response to your Invitation to furnish facts as to whether the Scott admin? istration has been "wise, economical and honest," I give yon the history of the taxation of a small lot of mine in the Village of Tim monaville. I purchased said lot about 1858 for $600, on time. The buildings have depreciat? ed In value, and I have repeatedly offered to sell lt, since the war, for the same money, without success. I am now offering lt for $100, and And no purchaser. The said lot was asses? sed by the agents ot the Scott administration in this county at $1500, and I have paid tax on that assessment two years in succession. I appealed for a reduction of said assessment, and laid before the proper authorities the facts, showing its Injustice. After repeated assur? ances on the part of some of the said officials that it would be reduced, lt was not done, and I have paid the tax as stated Respectfully, J. E. NORWOOD, M. D. In every county of the State there are hun? dreds of similar cases. While in the North? ern States property is assessed at far less than its true value, so that the real taxation is mach less than the nominal taxation ; in this State property ls taxed at three and four times its value, and the actual tax three and four times as burdensome as it is in name. Why is ThU Thu I More than six weeks ago 540,000 drafts on Kimpton, made by Parker as member of the Advisory Board of the Land Commis? sion, were returned by Kimpton, because he did not see any law for paying them. This little discrepancy between the two officials' ideas of the thing may have arisen from the different conditions of the two appropria? tions- the$200,000 first and the $500,000 af? terwards-for the former was to be expended in lands up to the face value of the bonds, while the latter was not so conditioned. Maybe that caused the misunderstanding. It is said, however, that $40,000 has since been paid. Yes? How? The Militia Law. Attorney-General Chamberlain is request? ed to answer the question contained in the letter of "Lawyer" upon the militia law of 1869. There is no Advisory Board for the militia, and upon this subject the Attorney General may be at liberty to speak out. Politics in South Carolina. The New York Herald devotes a leader to South Carolina politics, and comes to this conclusion : "Tue fact is, there is probably not a little truth In the charges made by General Butler against, Governor Scott. They are made so direct and circumstantial that lt must.be diffi? cult for Scott himself, or any of his defenders, to refute or get behind them. It is a bad ans? wer to make In any cause for a third party to come In and accuse the accuser of being as bad as the accused." Reform Toplci. -A Union R.fortn ciub was organized at Lexington, on Friday. Resolutions were adopted applauding Carpenter and Butler, and denouncing the Scott Ring and Union League. -A Reform club was permanently organized at Gill's Creek, In Lancaster County, on Mon? day last. John B. Erwin, Esq., president; Jno. J. Graham and T. R. Nesbit, vice-presidents; David J. Carter, secretary and treasurer. Col? onel J. D. Wylie, W. A. Moore, Esq., and others, addressed the meeting upon the Im? portant Issues now before the people, and counselled unity and vigorous action. -That cautious sheet, the Winnsboro' News, declares that so far as The Reform canvass has proceeded "there ls much to encourage effort "and hope. The light ls dawning, aud the "suffragans are seriously listening to argu? ment, and inquiring after the truth. It is "the duty of every Intelligent man to furnish "them with Information in a calm and tempe? rate manner. The election can be carried, if "citizens will do their duty, and come forward "to the front of this battle against extrava "gance, traud and corruption." -The Columbia Phoenix says: "It i3 a slg .'niflcant Indication, that wherever Judge Car? penter, General Butler aud other Reformers "have spoken, a decided Impression has been "the result. The power of truth ls thus lllus "trated. Nor ls there any doubt now as to the "unanimity with which the effort for Reform "wiU be prosecuted. On the part of the sober, .'intelligent and virtuous peoplei'of the State, 'there ls but one voice. Political prudery and 'a certain sentimentality may Influence a few 'mea to decline to enter heartily In the move 'ment for Reform. But the great mass of the 'people opposed to Radicalism are taking a 'sensible view of the matter, and are seeking 'by practical means to save tho State tor them? selves anl their posterity." "Oaths.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respecially to eau the attention of the public to oar Superior Flavoring Extracta. As ten years have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? Ile, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of their merits, ftc. There ls hardly a elty or town of any note in the country into whica they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally increasing demand is owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further Improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be* lleve that they stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanita B?ans. In snort, we think lt the best that is made, at least, this ls the decision of the best ;udge>> In '.!. i coun? try. We don't pretend to compete m price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which are really bat worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
