"Franca Ursers, to the Held I ll lhere were in France but sixty thousand Francs-ttreure, and they only killed two Prusslaas a day, Trance would be free La less than twenty days I" -A German officer or hussars proposed to get Into Paris, and managed to do so in the follow? ing wise: He dressed himself Ul the ordinary garb'pf a peasant, and, by the aid of moustache a la Saipolmr., coupled with a perfect knowledge Of the French tongue, managed to slip through the outposts. The French naturally concluded that he was ~a country man. By the aid of a plausible tale, he soon found himself within the walls of Paris. Ont became in the greatest glee that he had succeeded in evading the vigilan oa or the French outposts. He was the bearer or Inter sting tidings from Paris, not the least im? portant ot which was that, in the laboratories, there was no more saltpetre with which to make gunpowder. -A collective protest against a Bonapartlst res? toration has been addressed to the Ind?pendance Beige; signed by a very large number or Fi ench officer--, prisoners or war. The document runs thus: ."While, our cone try ls making vigorous efforts to repulse the foreigner, the Bonapartlst is seeking to foment dissension by the repoit of an ImpertaJLrestoratlon, to be seconded by the French army now.imprisoned tn Germany. We, prison? ers of war, proteat-agalns: snch attempts, and we declare that we. win never join, either now or at any future time, in any enterprise or th*t kind against the will or the nation." ~he protest ls signed by' General the Comte de Chanalellles, -Genends DeCoUrcy and Plobot, Colonel Lc wal, and by upwards or one hundred and thirty other orfl-' cars, principally ol tac ranks of captain and lieu? tenant. . -The courtesies of warrare dre carried on to a very agreeable extent at the fortress or Bliche, in the northeastern corner of Lorraine. The place being all but. impregnable, yet too Insignificant to rep?; -he trouble ora sie??, the corps engaged in im observation lias entered into an agreement with the garrison; in accordance with - which not a shot,ls tired by either, party. T. e country peo? ple of tee neighborhood are even allowed to go to and fro and ta se provisions Into the fort, which ls known to be suppUed with all necessaries for a long time. OB more than one occasion the out? posts have met in friendly intercourse. Were it noA that Bltche guards ? high road, aud that the garrison, unless prevented by the investing loree, would atop the provision trains of the enemy passing by, the latter would have long left the place to itself. -A German military musician, writing from Vrroflay, says: "To-day we have returned from Versailles", where we spent five days In the bar? racks. We played there at the King's table on tpvCrown Princes' birthday, and last Sunday at Count Bismarck's. After the overture he sent us some capital cognac, and afterwards wine, came hlmseir to na, and, seizing a glass, said, 'We will drink to being soon baok toonr mothers.' On this, the leader of the band asked him how long lt would be before that happened, where? upon Bismarck replied, 'Weil, we shall noe cele? brate Christmas at Borne. Thc reserves may, per hap's, then be dismissed, bot we ol the hue shall atm be ia France, for oar customers have got dftepiy into onr debt* bat we shall bring them to book shortly,' added he, langhing. After con vers? ing with ns tn the most affable way, he .anded us three cigars on leaving us.'* -Some or the French papers give a flaming ac? ojan t. of a heroine from Colmar, who Is said to command a corps or freebooters tn the Vosgesi The daughter oran old Guardsman, sim lost her mother early, lived from youtu as a boy. worked ta tho (leia and with horses, and shu med all fe? minine task?. She was taught by come nuns at Rappoits weller, and was to have become a novice bat became governsss to a Polish count's faintly, and on the breaking oat of thc last Polish revolu? tion, being then nineteen, acted, m man's dress, as Kenten int at the head of some hu-mara. Being wounded she was'admitted >nto a convest at Warsaw, and protected by Bishop Felinskl. On re? turn- og to Prance she became cashier in a shop and managed the for- iga correspondence, but owing to a complaiat in the chest again assumed . male attire, and wai appointed pjscotnee clerk -at Lamotte, There she collected a band of volun? teer^ and ls carrying on guerilla w ir are. -S ma mentors or the Parts Jucky Clab deter? mined a re w dava since to have a diner de siege, -comprising all the recently adopted elements uf loot.

Tho banq et, whicl was served In one of the principal establishments of the Chauss?e d'Antln, waa a complet- success. <? -The demonstra! lon at the Cooper Institute, Sew Torie Thursday evening, in favor of the' Krench Republic, was ono of the most enthusias? tic affairs that ever occurred In that butldmtr, and surpassed ihe expectations of Its manage:? the French Democratic Central Club, which now numbers over two thousaud members. A pro? cession was formed In front of headquarters, anil, headed by a band, marched with the tri-color cy in? to tho Institute, in a blaze of calcium light. The Immense nail wa? filled to overflowing, the platform decorated with American and French flag?, the Marseillaise was played, and the cheers ortho assembled thousands rent the air. The resolution13, adopted by acclamation, condemn the war or vengeance and conquest waged by King Winiam, sympathize with the lighting j French Republicans, and hall the extinction of J personal government and tho dawn of Democracy in France. General Bartlett, late minister to Sweden, presided and made a speech of similar tenor. He WSB followed by John Mitchel,'Alger? non Sullivan and others, all in the same vein of j hatred to German conquest and sym patay with freedom In France. Fight or FaU Back ? The note of Prince Gortschakoff upon the Black Sea question, and the evident cordiali? ty of the diplomatic relations between Ger? many and Russia, caused the English diplo? matists some uneasiness, and the English public some alarm. Mr. Gladstone was at liberty to choose between -an active resis? tance and a policy of non-interference. The latter course was taken, and England promptly accepted the proposition of Prus? sia for a Conference upon the Euxine ques? tion, it being understood* that it would as? semble "without any foregone conclusiones "to its results." In some quarters this was regarded as a diplomatic victory for the astute Gortschakoff, but the general feeling was one of relief and satisfaction. There was what the Pall Mall Gazette called-"a "chorus of thanksgiving;" and upon this point it is instructive to note the expres? sions of the leading English journals. The London Morning Post hart not much faith in the Conference, but it hoped that Russia woujd be "induced, by the voice of "Europe, to return to a d*ue sense of ber "obligations." A -more cheerful view was taken by the Times, which suggested that the "mere appearance" of Russia at the] Conference implied "a wish for concilia "tlon," and it was sure that she would "have "to fallback from the position taken up in "her first note." The Manchester Exami? ner, a peace paper, thought "the Dotion of j "going to war was absurd," and was very glad that the question had been "set at rest "by the assent of all the Powers to the. as? sembling of the Conference." The London Standard, the Conservative organ, regretted the acceptance of the Conference, but deem? ed it idle to dwell upon that mistake. The Saturday Review considered tho adhesion of Russia to the Conference "an imaginary "concession." It is plain that the Conference was regard? ed in Englaad as the best means of escaping from an awkward dilemma. War was deprecated on all sides, and a diplomatic palaver might, at least, postpone the evil day. But England counted without her host. France declined to take part in the proceedings, and the Conference is indefi? nitely postponed. The London Globe, a month ago, said emphatically that if Eng? land was to "confer with dignity," she must bo prepared "to support her words by "deeds." The Economist, at the same time, declared that, while the treaty of 185G was io force, Russia 'Tnust obey it, and that bj "force, ir necessary." And tho Spectator said that Prince GortschakolPA answer meant just this : "I shall do as I like, but "I'll talk it over with a respectable old man "like you, if you think that will do you good. ''Quarrels make such a noise." In another article the Spectator expressed a fear that England "would have to fight In the end, "abd. fight under circumstances far less "favorable than at present." There is to be no Conference. The winter is passing away. Russia bas made another aggressive movement, in inducing Ihe Prince'of Roumania to declare the indepen? dence of the Danubian Provinces of Turkey. It remains to be seen whether the English press will eat their words, and urge that the Czar be allowed to play "ducks and drakes" with tho interests of Turkey and Great Brittan. So far, all the advantage is on the side of Russia, and, in her preseut position, it is about as difficult for England to stand still as to move forward. * - Fixing thc Prtre ef .Money. The Columbia. Union bas no liking for the proposition to re-establish the obsolete usury laws of the State. The Legislature may, if it so pleases, pa ss a law that legal interest shall be 50 percent., but the Union does not think any man is so foolish as to believe that money would bring 50 per cent., because the Legislature had passed such a law. Again, a law may be passed that only C per cent shall be the legal rate, but does any? body believe that money can be obtained for that price, because the law-making power says a mau shall not 'receive more ? The Union says further: "A man's money ls like any other property he has to dispose of. He will loan it, or sell the use of lt, lo those who will pay the most for it, and ail the legislation in Christendom cannot prevent him from doing so. Il is not a question of what money is worth In New York, but what lt ls worth here. There is no such thing as regulating the price ol' money. The ?rant ot lt will regulate the price tu spite of any Axed rule. A planter desires to take advantage of the high price of cuttou, but bel?g shore of funds, cannot move his crop without borrowing money to do sc. Uu der these circumstances, money to him would be worth double as much as to some other per? son, who wanted lt simply as a* convenience. .Necessity knows no law,' and he who stands lu the greatest need of a thing, will pay the most for it. If people would but comprehend this simple fact, that money is a commodity, like everything else, that can be bought and sold, some ot these old fossil notions, which now trouoie our writers and legislators, would be done away. To-day a man may be willing to pay and- anxious to get money at two or three per cent, per month, while to-morrow, ?ven six per cent, per annum would not only je more than he desired, or more than he jould afford. to pay. Usury laws may look rery well upon statute books, but we submit bat no practical good can be achieved by adopting them, for the 'law-making power haa no more right to Bay what aman shall got for the use ol his money, than it bas to say 'what he shall get for his cotton or his corn. ? "These are matters which regulate them? selves, and the laws which go vera them are as. fixed and immutable asare the laws ot-supply and demand." The State Survivors' Association. We have received a printed copy of the proceedings of the first and second annual meetings of the State Survivors' Associa? tion, together with the eloquent address o? j General John S. Preston, delivered before the Association, in Columbia, in November last. The object and purposes of the Asso? ciation are fully Bet forth in these proceed? ings, and to all who are ignorant of the part which South Carolina played in the great struggle, we commend the able and convincing ' report of the Executive Board, which shows, among other things, that this State gave to the Confederate cause at least one soldier for every vote c?st for secession. The Executive Board, with the assistance of Professor Rivers, have compiled a roll of the names of ten thousand South Caroli? nians who died in service during the war between the States. There is, besides, a supplementary roll of two thousand names collected from sources less authentic. These rolls the Survivors' Associa? tion now propose to publish by Bub? scription; and if one thousand sub? scribers at $5 can be obtained, this great memorial of our dead, and valuable histori? cal work for the State, will be secured. The plan is to-publish two editions; the first with a preface inviting corrections and additions to be submitted to the Executive Board by the friends of those who fell; the second, with the additions and -corrections thus made, in a better and more perm?nent forra. A subscription of $5 entitles .the subscriber to a copy of both editions. The manuscript is ready for the printer, and the board are about to canvass for subscriptions. There is not a family in South Carolina which will not find the name of a friend, a relative or a brother-in-arms upon the roll of this Legion of Honor of the South Carolina dead, and we cannot doubt that the Survives' Association will speedily-obtain far more than the mini mom number of subscribers required-for perpetuating the memory.and fame of those who poured out their blood for their State and the Sunny South. Captured -Property. Among the odds-and-ends in tho Treas? ury vanita at Washington-a curious col? lection of half-forgotten presents, special deposits and counterfeit currency-there is a package described thus : "One envelope, containing bonds issued by the State of South Carolina, on account ot the Blue Ridge Railroad, deposited by the Secre? tary of the -Treasury, January 6,18G8; bonds Noe. 812, 821, 836,837, four bonds, $1000 each; twenty-six coupons, $30 each, on each bond. These bonds were forwarded to the Secretary In April, 1866, by Supervising Special Agent David Heaton, as captured properly turned aver lo him by a provost marshal." It Bhonid be easy for the owner to identify these bonds, and prove bis title to them. The experiment is worth trying. One is curion3 to know, moreover, how this "pro? perty" was "captured." Who can tell ? THE intellectual bond between Alsace and Lorraine and the rest of Germany is well illnstrntcr) by the fact that many of the towns and cities made prominent by thc war can lay claim by turns to eminent names in German literature. It was, for in? stance, In-the Benedictine cloisters at Weis 3enburg that Otfricd composed his Evange? lien-Harmonie, which ranks us the oldest specimen of'German poetry. Hagenau had For its poet.Raiutnar der Aeltere in the days when Gottfried was composing his famous epics in Strasbourg, where also wrote Sebas? tian Brant snd Thomas Mumer, the satirists, where Gutenberg conceived the idea of mov? able types, and Goethe sketch?d out his Faust. Finally, it was in Colmar that Pfeflel, thc poet and fabulist and satirist, showed. | linw superior the mind may be to the terri? ble affliction of an almost life-long blindness. Pfeffei'a name bas been perpetuated in the '.Pfeflel Album," published by another Alsa :ian poet, now deceased, Theodor Klein. The first part of this collection contains the poems of Alsatians not living at the time it wu3 made-seven in number; the second of those still living-thirty-three in number. Though destitute of any national expression, Dr any allusion to the Fatherland, these pro? ductions have all the marks of the German character, as if the French bad never occu? pied the country.
