COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Horning, July 26, 1870. Tike Campaign In tn? Up.Country. As our readers have observed, ou yes? terday tho canvass was opeued, by the representatives of reform, iu tho up? country. Judge Carpenter und Guueruls Butler Hud Kershaw were expected to speak at Pendleton on the 25th. Wc believe that they will meet ? beatty wel? come. Tho need for reform ie feit ns much iu tho mouutains us on tho sea? side, and when these gentlemen speak eloquent words iu behalf of the redemp? tion and regeneration of this abused ahd outraged State, tho great heart of the men of tho up-country will respond to the patriotic appeal, aud they will join tho good fight that we mako against tho evil powers that have seized tho State and are controlling public affairs in utter disregard of tho public interests. To our friends in those upper Counties, we commend tho canvassers and their cause. The programme that they seek to inau? gurate, is simply to unite all good men against a corrupt and partial regime-tho policy that they adv?calo is simply to make tho best use possible of tho ele? ments that surround us-tho object that they have in view is neither more nor less Ihau the honor and prosperity of South Carolina. Give them a generous reception. Greet them with o general .rally. Generals Kershaw and Butler have won in your service thc right to bo heard, and you will hear them for their "causo" and believe them for thoir "honor." Judge Carpenter was an em? my in war, but will show that he is a friend in peace and knows how to con? nect, with a recognition of the rights of all classes of our people, that regard for the sensibilities of the whit o mau which men of bis political faith in this State have, as a general rule, so studiously aud persistently and arrogautly ignored. Tile Cornily Ofllcc-rs. Mn. EDITOR : As tho PHONIX han a wido circulation among all classes of readers in this neighborhood, I ask the favor of you to insert a few linos that may be interesting to many of them, upon the notion of tho recent nomina? ting convention of Richland County. It appears that tho oonveution nominated, among others, William B. Nash as Sena? tor, aud Messrs. S. B. Thompson and James Davis as Representatives, all of whom I think are precluded by thc Con? stitution of the State from holding the offices to which they are nominated. In proof of which I quote the following sections of that instrument : Extract from the Constitution of th<i Stale of South Carolina, udopled March 17, 18(38. { ARTICLE I, SECTION 2G. Tn the Govern? ment of this Commonwealth the Legis? lative, Executive and Judicial powers of tho Government shall be forever separate aud distinct from each other, and no person or persons exorcising the func tious of ono of said departments shall assume or discharge the duties of any ot'ier. ART. II, SEC. 2S. No person shall be eligible to ft seat in the General Assem? bly whilst he holds any oflice of profit or trust uuder this State, tho United States of America, or auy of them, or uuder any other power, except officers iu the militia, magistrates, or justices of inferior courts, while such justices re? ceive no salary. And if any member shall accept or exercise any of the said disqualify n:g offices, he shall vacato his peat. Provided, that this prohibition shall not extend to the members af the first General Assembly. Now, it is evident by tho section first quoted, that lion. W. B. Nash, as Colonel of the Militia, exercises a function of thc Executive Department, and as Trial Justice a function of the Judiciary De? partment, and is theroforo doubly debar? red from exercising a function of the Legislativo Department ; and that Hon. S. B. Thompson, as Coroner of Richland County, an important Executive office, and us Trial Justice for this District, an important Judicial office, is also preclud? ed from tho exercise of Legislativo functions ; and that Tames Davis, who ex? ercises the duties aud receives tho salary and emoluments of an office of boner and profit under this State, is not eligi? ble to a seat in the General Assombly until he resigus it. I axn sorry to see the provalenco of such a spirit amoug some of my Repub? lican friends, which, if uotchecked, will soon concentrate the offices in tho bands of a few, and rapidly create au aristo? cracy of offico-hohlers.

We bavo seen many statements BB to tho superiority iu numbers of the Prussian army. ThiB is simply an absurdity. The reliable Prussian population does not ex? ceed 20,000,000, and there aro about 4,000,000 in lately annexed dominions which we may regard as moro hostile than friendly. The Landwehr of Prus? sia is undoubtedly vory large, because tho system places every mau capable of bearing arms in the service. Ho is com? pelled to do military service. So when wc learn that the Prussian army aud re? serves compriso 1,500,000 men, it means that there are that number capable of doing servico, just ns we might euume rato tho militia of tho United States at 3,000,000. Prussia eau undoubtedly bring into tho held, within sixty days, an effective army of 500,000-could re enforce it with 300,000 moro iu three months. Fraucc, on tho other baud, has -10,000,000 of population. She has bceu at peace for eleven years. Each year shebas onrolled aud disciplined 100,000 recruits, and an equal number have iu each successive year retired aud entered upon tho pursuit of other avo? cations. Franco is a military camp, and, beside hor effective army of nearly 500, 000 mon, who will be in Prussia before a week elapses, it is safe to say that she eau throw into tho field, within sixty days, fully 800,000 additional well trained troops, beside having reserves to garrison all her sea-ports and other points liable to bo threatened. The French navy is far superior iu effective strength to tho English; and Prussia will scared}* venture to send her fleet away from tho protection of the laud defences of her ports. Nearly 80,000 French sailors now iu commission upon her magnificent ves sols, is ai power which landsmen scarcely appreciate. But it is enormous. Napo? leon and his Cabinet bavo been wiso enough to mako their quarrel wit.i Prus siu in such manner that tho qacsMn-i of German unity cannot be brought to bear. Bismarck will bo zealous iu tho effort to stir up tho Gerniau feeling; but he will fail. Brussin has ruled with an irou baud in the North German Confedera? tion, and her allies have boen constrain? ed by fear to make treaties for which they had no genuiuo desire. Hence wc fiud Bavaria, which suffered from the Prussian arms in 1SGG, at once declaring for ucutrulit}'. This is importaut, as her population is 5,000.000 and hoi army is 150,000 infantry, 25,000 cavalry, artillery and eugineers 30,000. Botli Bavaria and Wurtemburg fear the grasp? ing ambition of Prussia and will be glad to seo Franco give it a check for mauj years to come. Wurtemburg has a popu lat ion of less than 2,000,000 aud au urmj of about 30,000 men. Saxony has about the same, aud her people have beeu foi four years under tho military domina tiou of Prussia. lu a Gcrmuu quaile these threo kingdoms would be uudei treaty stipulations to support Prussia They aro moro likely uuder present cir cumstances to sympathize with France Holland has nearly -1.000,000 population with ail army of VO.OOU men. Lou mark siuco the loss of her 1,000,000 of subject in tho duchies, has only 1,500,000. Hoi army is au effective ono and sho ba quito a formidable fleet-250 vessels carrying nbout 2,000 gnus. It is not at all probable) that Euglatu will step iuto tho arena iu case of re verses by Prussia. Her policy has heel that of neutrality, and though the masse: were clearly for war in 18G5, lo preven the spoliation of Denmark, allied ti England so nearly because tho futun Queen is tho daughter of the King o Denmark, yet tho.cold and nuswerviuj policy of che ministry cheeked it np, am declared that the iutorests of Euglaui wero agaiust war. There has been sud a firm alliance betweeu France and Eng laud ginee their combined armies hum bled Russia iu 1855. and their com mere had grown to bo so extensive aud so ne cessary to each other, that it will requin startling events indeed to produce a rup turo between tho two. Fraucc may, if successful, desire to ia terposo tho Rhiuo as her natural frontie aud bulwark. This would add a ?trip o territory about ouo hundred miles ii length, aud fitly iu breadth at its wides part. It would not bu much in tho wa; of aggrandizement. ThoEuglish poop! were decided in their sympathies fo King George, of Hanover, a Princo o tho ^British blood royal and Duke o Cumberland. Any stops taken by Nfl poleon to restore tho King to his throuc to releaso Saxony from Prussian subjec tiou, or to restore Schleswig-Hoisteiu t Denmark, cannot fail to elicit tho warn approval of tho English people and Pat burnout. Besides, English interests nr altogether for peace, as she thereby vast ly increases her carrying trade am wealth. During tho lato American war, the en tente cordiale between Prussia aud th Federal Government was very decided Prussia furnished many soldiers to th Federal army. Like Prussia iu he viows of consolidation, tho ruling power of tho United States have sought, am still seek, to oblitorato all State lines uni to create a strong Government. Ilene we are not surprised to learn that th sympathies of tho United States Go vorn mont aro all for Prussia, and tba the vital services of Fruuco iu seeuriuj the independence of this country ar forgotten and overlooked. As a nation however, wo have nothing to do wit) tho quarrel, and our neutrality shouh bo strictly enforced. Wc have no possi ble causo for being complicated in th slightest degroe, and eau only bo a re luctant observor of terrific bloodshed which wo can do nothing to prevent. [Louisville Courier-Journal. THEFORUACH AFFAIR.-Tho folio wi u j details of the affair at Forbnch, whicl has been variously reported as a hatti nod skirmish between tho customs patrol aro published: Two regiments of Freud and hussars and a body of Urlune (German troops, com mou ly armed witl lauces) met on the frontier. The Froud immediately made preparations to re coive an attack. At lengtb, one of the Urluner carno forward. The French al? lowed bim te approach, regarding him ns a deserter, or expeoting parley. On coming near, tho Urlaner fired at the com mander of tho French, but missed bis mark and turned and fled amid a shower of bullets. TUE FIELD OP WAK.-Tho Northern boundaries of Franco are Belgium and Prussia. As Napoleon has declared war, ho must tako tho offensive, and cross tho line. Thero is a small belt of country betweeu tho French lino and the Rhine, which France has long coveted, and which is now, doubtless, the great objest she bas iu view. The country along tho Rhine is very Hat as far South as Co? logne. The plaius are fertile, and fa? vorable to the moviug aa well as to the subsisting of armies. Wesel is thc first Prussian, stronghold on tho Rhine, and lies on tho right bank, just below tho mouth of the Lippe, com? manding both rivers. The works were commenced by Napoleon, aud finished by Prussia. One of its forts is Blucher, at tho hoad of tho Pontoon River. Tho garrison is 0,000 meu. Cologuo has a stone bridge over the Rhine, aud is a great railroad centre. It is, therefore, an important military point. It is strongly fortified, and bas a garri? son of 7,000 men. With Cologuo as au objective point, Napoleon would find several serious naturul obstacles in his way. These are the two rivers Erft aud the Roer, and tho Argonue forest. Luxemburg is nt the junction of tho boundary lines of Belgium, Prussia and France, and was Holland's strongest fortress. It is a very important strategic position. Tho strongest Prussian defensive point ou the Rhino is Ehrenbreitstein, oppo? site Cobleuz and the mouth of tho Mo? selle. It is an elaborate fortress, hewn into n rocky bluff, which proudly lifts itself 370 feet above thc right bank of the river, aud overlooks tho West and South. In 1G31, tho French captured the place, and blew up tho fort. It has since been elaborately repaired, aud is now very strong. Cobleuz, just oppo? site, is likewise ou a bluff, and is very strong. Au army of 100,000 eau eucamp about the city. The two cities aro con? nected by strong bridges over tho Rhine. Mayence, with Castel just across the Rhiuo, forms a very important station for the defence of the river. It is sur? rounded with ix bastioned wall, part new and part old. Manheim ami Soudou are historic points, ami strong defensivo po? sitions for Prussia. The broad and fertile plains ou cithei sido of tho Rhino from Heidelberg to Neustadt, nnd from Black Forest to thc Vosges Mountains, are the special battle? ground of the Rhine, and bavo been thc theatre of moro horrors than civilized countries are obliged to witness. Thc very names of Tilly, Turenne, Moioo and Louis XIV, aro exeornted by tho inhabi? tant of tho old Palatinate, because asso? ciated with tho memory of burning cities and butchered families. Rastadt, on thc Murg, about four mile East of tho Rhine, is a strong fortress, both modern and extensive. The Black Forest is East of the Rhine and as difficult of passage as the Vosget Mountains. These are some of the points soon ti bavo new interest and importance, am prove valuable for reference hereafter. THE FKENCH RHINE FOIITIFICATIONS. Prominent among tho French towns cn the West bank of the Rhino is Stras ' boiirg, containing 85,000 inhabitants j chiefly of German descent. The forties: I has been lately .strengthened, and tin numerous outworks and detached forts iuctuding tho citadel, render it a place o great strength. A bridge hero crosse: the Rhine, which is strongly fortified oi the French side. Though partially upoi the Rhine, tba town lies chiefly upon tin River III, which is also bridged. Further up the 111, aro Colmar am Schlettstndt, both strongly fortified am securing important communications. Nen Brdsach is on the Rhone canal, i mile West of the Rhine. It has strouj towers, and Fort Mortier, near that river is also a .strong fortification. Metz, on tho River Moselle, is th' most important strategic point iu tb Eastern part of France, and has a mos powerful fortress, which is yet uncom pleted. The city contains 00,000 iuha bitants, and a garrison of 10,000 men A strong wall with bastions surround it and the fortifications at large aro con structed with a due allowance for th' force of modern projectiles. They stani on four commanding sites. Tho Rive Seille meets the Moselle at this point anti, in caso of a siege, tho water of botl streams can bo raised sufficiently to in ululate thu low ground to the South am South-west of tho town. Moutmedy, Verdun and Longwy, ot tho Rhine, aro all strongly fortified; am netti Lu Metz, on tho Moselle, is Thurn ville, within a few miles of tho Prussiai frontier. Tho river is bridged at thi point, and tho fortifications aro strong Tho Mosello furnishes tho most direc lino of operations botweou Franco ant Prussia, and-a struggle will in every pro bability tako place for its several strong holds. The Wuisseuburg hue is a chain o light works running from the left ban] of tho Rhine, fifteen miles along th Lauter, in tho neighborhood of Basle Tho line was abandoned in 18G7, but th works were not razed. Tho Vosges Mountains run parallc with Rhine, aud form au additional bar rior for tho French frontier. They ave rage 1,000 foot in height, and aro tweu ty-fivo miles wide. All their practicabl passes aro fortified. The most Northen of these is tho fortress at Bitscb, which in 1703 and 1815, withstood two Pms sian attempts. Tho contrai passage o tho Vosges is by way of Saveruo, aud i held by tho Fort at Pfalzbourg, sup ported by Strasbourg nt a short distance Betweeu Laveruo and Belfort, there ar but two practicable passes, that by wa; of St. Lie aud that by Remiromout I These arc well guarded by tho fortrcsse ou tho neighboring plains and bj Bel fort. Tho latter is in tho centro of tho opening, between the Jura and tho Vos? ges Mountains, and being in the direct line betweeu Basie aud Paris, is uu im? portant junction for laud' communica? tions. It ha? been much strengthened of late. Franco lost 80,000 men dining the Crimean struggle. The Italian campaign carried off 00,000 moro of Napoleon's braves, whilo 05,000 Frenchmen were sacrificed in the Chinese and Mexican wars. PLUCKY DENMARK.-There is a true courage in Denmark and the Danes. Promptly, the plucky little kingdom de? clares itself for Franco, and offers all fa? cilities for the punishment of its oppres? sor, Prussia. The manliness of this positiou is particularly commendable when wo reflect upon tho fate iu store for ber if Franco should be discomfited. DURATION OF LATE EUUOFEAN WAES. lu the Crimean war of 1353-'G, Turkey declared war against Russia October 5, 1853. Russia declared war against Tur? key November 1. Franco und Euglaud declared war against Russia March 27-28, 1854. The battle of the Alma was fought September 20; battle of Balaclava, Oc? tober 25; battle of luker maun, Novem? ber 5; Sardinia joined tho allies January 25, 1855. Thc Malakoff was taken by the French September 8. Sweden join? ed the allies November 21; and hostili? ties were suspended February 29, l?50. The war between the Western Powers and Russia lasted two years, lackiug oue mouth. The Italian war of 1859 was begun by the rejection of tho Austrian ultimatum by Sardinia, April 20. The Austrians j crossed tho Ticuio April 27. Tho French entered Genoa Maj' 3. The battle of Muuticello was fought May 20; battle of Magontu. Moy 30-31; and battle of Sol? ferino, June 21. The peuce of Villia Franca was signed July ll. Hostilities wer?) active but tell weeks. The Schleswig-Holstein war of 1S01 began by the invasion of Schleswig by tho Prussians February 1st. The Prus? sians took D?ppel April 18th, and Alsen July 9th. Treaty of peace between Den? mark and Germauy sigucd nt Vienna October 30. Actual hostilities covered a spaco of twenty-two weeks. The German-Italian war of 1SG0 was begun by Prussia June ll. Italy de? clared war against Austria June 20. Thc bat flo of Custoza was foiipjht June 24, and the Sadowa July 3. Tho treaty ol peace between Prussia and Austria wai sigued at Prague August 23, and between Ausfjia aud Italy ut Viuuua, October 4. Actual hostilities between the belligor euts lasted only five weeks. THE RIVAL BUEECU-LOADEKS-Tm ZCNDDADELUEWEHK AND ST. CIIASSEMOI -WAU IN TUE WORKSHOP.-Virgil wai right in supposing that some place wai duo to "arms" in his famous ballad "Arms aud the man," he sang ; but har bo known what au arm of precision was or could he have hoped to use zuntlnadtd gewehr iu a hexameter, tho praises o .Eneas would have been sounded less and dactylic measures would have iudi catcd the rapidity of the Cbnssopot-tin Chassepot which "did wonders ut Men taua." Some attention is due, iu lb study of modern warfare, to these wea ! pons, seeing that it is on their use, am their merit that victory may depend. Providence, that was on tho side of tin heaviest battalions in the days of the firs I Napoleon, is ou that of the arm of pre J cisi?n and rapidity in those of Frederic] I William and Ibo third Bonaparte. Thi j was the story and tho moral of the. lat j Pfusso-Austrian war. lt was taught ant ' read on the field ol Sadowa, and Custez j /.a bad buen a Sodown, if tho Italian al ? lies of Prussia had tho Prussian weapon It was the story of the Italian war wirer r i fled cannon mowed down the Austria] white coats. It was tho moral of Mon tona, where Guvibaldiuus afforded a sat j isfuctory target and a rational test fo the I rench Chassepot. lt was a know] edge of the Prussian weapon that kop Franco back when the black engl swooped down and carried crowns to it ej-rio and tore tho title deeds of Ceutrti Encopo iuto shreds. In truth, Frovi deuce is on the side of the army that ba a weapou which in rapidity make ono man equal to six, aud in accurae each of these six almost equal to half scoro. This is a scientific and hardly muscular age, and the providence of th Little Corporal's conceit is to-day a scion tifie providence which despises a Croa or a Cossack, and has a mighty revereuo for a Snider or a Chassepot. If this new war does not prodnco som other weapon hitherto known only tc thoso accustomed to mauipulato it in sc cret practice, thc Chassopot aud th Prussian breach-loader will be fairly triei against each other. But there are al ready suspicious or rumors that each fo brings iuto the fight now weapons whie! will contemplate the test. There is th French mitsaillouso, it is said, which cai rain bullets like hail; there is ?Iso th Prussian kugclhitten. Whether ball o conical shot will carry tho day it is im possiblo to say; but it is noticeable tba tho war of tho uiucteenth century i transferred to the artisan's shop, and tba diplomacy anti "tented fields" aro bu agoucies and instruments wherowith i obtained a trial of tho inventivo geuiuso bellicose nation,. TUE NEEDLE-GUN.-The Prussia! needle-gun is the invention of Mr Drcyse, n manufacturer of arms a S?mmerda, who spout over thirty year in trying to construct u perfect breech loading rifle. The cartridgo is inseitei at tho rear, and the iguitiou is producei by the intrusion of a needle into tho fill minute attached to tho cartridge. Tb barrel is 30.00 inches long, and is riflei with four grooves down to thu breech whero tho chamber, or bed for tho cart ridge, is smooth and a Ii11Io larger thai tho bon;. Tho bed enlarges slightly ti tho rear, so as to admit tho cartridgi freely, and tho lower part of tho boro fo a distance of 0.17 inches is enlarged s< that tho ball is gradually compressen iuto the grooves. The* rear of the bar rel ia conical, aud is called tho mouth? piece. Over this part, thero is n sis sided cjliudor, which holds nil the mechanism of the piece. Tho air chamber, next to tho cylinder, has tbe needle pipe screwed into its breech. Tho ball is sperio-couical. Tho charge of powder is fifty-six gruins. The weight of tho Prussian needle-gun is 10.27 pounds to 11.3 pounds. Tho mechan? ism can be taken apart without screw? driver, vice, etc. It can be safely aud easily cleaned, and thu gun being small is particularly adapted for use in tho con? tinued space of loop-holes, ou horseback, etc. The objections to the Prussian needle-gun aro the danger of a weaken? ing of the spiral spring and the possi? bility that the ueedlo may not be propell? ed with su Ilici?n t forco to pierce tho cartridge. On account of tho easo aud rapidity with which it is loaded, thero is also danger of a waste of ammunition, as the soldier, in the heat of battle, will often tire his pieou as fast as possible, evou when ho knows tho firing has no effect. To make the best use of tho needle-guu the soldier requires "-nccial training. The Prussian army i; very well trained to its use, and in thia re? spect has au advantage over the French, who bavo never beeu into a great battle with their Chassepot. THE CIIASSEI'OT.-Thc fire-arm which has been adopted by the French army is the celebrated Chassepot rifle, which is probably the most eflieieut weapon ever put into the hands of an army of infan? try. It resembles tho Prussian uoedlo gun, but possesses several improvements. During the late war between Prussia and Austria, the effective work of tho newly-invented needle-gun attracted the notico of all lighting nations; aud the French, anticipating that they would sometime bo called upon to punish Prussia for her alleged arrogance aud waut of honor, immediately sut to work to invent a wcapou that should surpass the needle-gnu iu its power as an eugiuo of war. The result was tho invention of M. Chassepot. after long and careful study, having tho Prussian gun to aid him and to improve upon. After tho new Hilo had been -tested over and over again, the atteutiou of tho Emperor was invited to it, and it was not long before he was convinced of its superiority, and ordered its adoption in tho army. Ono of tho principal improvements which the Chassepot has over the needle gun of Prussia, is that its movemcut is simpler, and instead of being tightly en? closed in the breach by a cylinder, it is almost fully exposed, and tho omploy tneut of India rubber as an obturator. It is argued that the Prussian gnu, after it has been discharged several times in quick succession, becomes hot and damp in tho chamber, owing to tho iuabilitj'of the gas which cjmes back after the ex? plosion of the cartridge to escape. Thc insido soon becomes dirty, and tho sol? dier is required to take his piece apart and clean it. The French gun, as may bo seeu by the cut, is always open, and while there is no gas shut up in a cham? ber to corrode thc metal, it can in a mo? ment bo cleaused from dirt or rust, and the soldier is always able to quickly dis? cover any accident to his rifle. It is claimed that this gnu is- not so easily clogged as the Prussian needle-gun, and is more substantially built. The Chassepot is handled in the fol? lowing manner: While loading, hold the gun in the left hand, with thc but-eud rcsliug on the left hip. The lever is then turned with but ono movemout, from right to left, and with another pulled back, after which the cartridge is inserted into thc opening thus effected. By a third movement-pushing back the lever into its origiual position-the gun becomes lo.uly to be fired oil. The projectile is a rather long sing, with the end rounded and pointed like ont rifle ball. The charge, which is attached to it in a paper covering, is composed of a peculiar powder, specially manufactured for the purpose. The distance at which this gun carries with certainty is cry considerable-over 1,000 metres. Both the infantry aud the chasseurs have only tho one model, but tho bayonets differ, in so far as those of the chasseurs aro sword bayonets. The best lavin; medicine is Iliuxnsii'.i QUEEN'S DELIOMT.

It will bo seen that tho recent nomina? tions for County officers, in Richland, have produced groat dissatisfaction with many of tho radicals. It is thought that tho time has como for Nash & Co., to give place to others. It is contended by tho bolters that they will bring out bet? tor men-moro intelligent, aud more houest. We have heard of the Rev. David Pickett, colored, spoken of as Senator. Thu colored voters would do themselves houor by supporting a mau so intelligent and honest as ho. THE DANGER OE TWO-EDGED WEA?OXS. This is illustrated in tho caso of tho city ordnance of 1800, with respect to public cotton weighing. We stated, lhatiu our judgment it was not good policy to pass Buch a law as com pels the cottou seller to submit his cottou weights to the offi? cial weighers of the city, and yet the law, as wo have reason to know, was passed for the protectiou of Ibo public interests. Afterwards it became an instrument to the public disadvantage and was so wielded. Thus, it proved a doubled-odged sword, cutting in opposite directions, aud, there? fore, wo aro satisfied that Judgo Mel? ton's decision has taken both edges off. CRUMUS.-Ry a card in another column, it will be seen that tho "Tublo Mountain Honso" is open for tho seasou. Coolists and iuvalids should give it a trial.
