Tlic Pu?t and tho Future of tho South.
In bis groat vindicatory work, entitled
"A Constitutional View of the Late
War Between the States," Mr. Alexan?
der H. Stevens, speaking for tho South,
remarks:
"Amidst our ruins, bereft of fortunes
and estates as well as liberty, with no?
thing remaining to us but a good name
and a public character, we will, iu the
common misfortune, still cling to tho
land of our memories, for a land without
memory is a land without liberty."
This sentiment will address itself with
a sad emphasis to the hearts of thou?
sands in this section, and yet are wo in?
clined to think that there is in Mr.
Stephens' declarations something too
much allied to that spirit which lingers
rather long by thc memories of tho past,
when the future lies before us with its
claims, its hopes and its duties.
Heaven forbid that the true sous of
the South should ever cease to hold in
grateful romombrauce tho labors, the
sufferings, tho trials, the services of that
grand company of patriots, dead aud
living, whose uames aro linked with our
"Lost Cause." But is it uot true that
sra best honor the memories of the past
'by a Ijrave trust in the future? It is
ttruo thal we have beou bereft of much
in the South. Much of the prido and
the flower of tho land has fallen by bat?
tle or disease. We have lost precious
lives. It is true that much of our liber?
ties as well a3 of our fortunes and estates
has been lost to us. Yet whilst appre?
ciating all this, lot us remember that
much more than a Rood name aud a pub?
lic character is left to us. Much, but not
all, has boen lost. We have left to us our
energies, our resoluto hearts, our wills
to do and achieve, and great natural
resources in fields, forests, metals nnd
climate. We have the meaus to build
np what has been thrown down, aud to
sow the fields once devastated by war.
Whilst, therefore, we do romain loyal to
the "land of our memories," let us
march steadily to realize the land of our
hopes. In spite of tho untoward cir?
cumstances around us-in spite of the
political curb that has been put upon us
let us bear ever in mind that the same
spirit and genius that made the South
what it was, can siezo thc reins of powei
and mastery, and make her in tho future
what wo would desire her to be. Let
that sublime impulse that moved our
troops at Gettysburg and that nerved
them on all the fields of victory, or of
brave endeavor, in the late war betwecu
the States-let this spirit and these ener?
gies and thesa patriotic labors now seek
to repeat themselves iu the departments
of civil life; and the South aud South
Carolina will live agaiu in the prido and
prosperity of a renewed aud regenerated
and redeemed people; aud agaiu we
. shall take iu our bauds the sceptre of
our influence aud power. Whilst, then,
the great heart of the South responds to
Mr. Stephens' sentiment aud resolves to
cling to the "laud of our memories," it
will also respond to the demands of tho
present, aud "go forth to meet thc sha?
dowy futuro without fear and with a
manly heart."

GREENVILLE.
TUc War.
Weissonburg is a small but strongly
fortifiod town on tho French side of the
littlo river Lauter, about ton miles from
the point where it empties into the
Rhino. It is connected by rail with the
German fortress of Landau, about fifteen
miles to tho North-eastward, and with
tho French town of Haguenau, about
tho samodistanco to theSouth-westwurd.
Haguenau is ou tho railroad from Stras?
burg by way of Bitche (whore the Prus?
sians sonic days ago destroyed n viaduct)
to Saarbruck. Tho Prussian victory, ac?
cording to present appearances, makes
a bad break in tho Freuch frout, and, in
connection with tho subsequent damage
to tho railroad South of Weisseuburg,
uirkcs a French advance towards Landau
much moro difficult.
Tho destruction of tho viaduct at
Bitcho had already brokeu the more
Northerly (and somewhat longer) liuo of
railway communication between Stras?
burg and Motz. The present positiou of
tho German forces threatens that liuo in
auothcr poiut near Hagueuau. The
moro Southerly lino of commut-icatiou is
still safe. Tho French seem to have at?
tached more importance to Weisseuburg
than tho Prussians did to Saarbruck, aud
defended it heroically. "Valuing it so
much as they did, it seoms remarkable
that they did not value it more, and
mako themselves stronger there.
Tho region around Weisseuburg has
secu some hard lighting in old days be?
tween the same natious which ure now
arrayed upon its soil. Just bcyoud the
towu, on tho Freuch side, stretches the
considerable forest of Haguenau, and
immediately around it are drawn the
now crumbling embankments of tho once
famous "Hues of Weissonburg," erected
by Marshal Villars in nnother war of
"tho Spauioh succession," a ceutury and
a half ago. The town itself is a small
place, with a picturesque old (?orman ca?
thedral, aud some six thousand quiet
German inhabitants.
Besides the Zouaves, tho French army
contains thc following special corps:
THE ZEPHYRS.-They resemble the
Zouaves iu their uniforms, arms, and
?quipaient, and their organization and
drill aro almost tho same; but while the
Zouaves are a proud corps, aud believe
in military honor, such is by no means
tho caso with tho Zephyrs. They are
simply a corps of culprits and jail-birds.
If a soldier of the Freuch army commits
a vulgar aud dishonoring crime, that is,
if he robs, steals, cheats, or proves to bo
n coward, ho is condemuod to serve ou
tho galleys, but if he only commits what
might be termed a genteel crime, that is,
if ho commits manslaughter, or ravishes
a womau, or is insubordinate, then he is
eoudemued to servo in tho corps of tho
Zephyrs. Thoy are permanently sta?
tioned in Africa, aud the discipline
among these rather dangerous and des?
perate characters is terribly severe. Eve?
ry officer has the right to kill a Zephyr
ou the spot, should ho show the least sign
of insubordination, aud to this circuui
stauee thoy owe their name, which they
adopted themselves, to express thereby
' of how littlo valuo their lives are, which
at any time might die out liko a zephyr.
Their official appellation is Corps of Puu
ishmeut, and they uow cumber so
i veral thousand meu. They paiut them?
selves with blue ink all over their bodies
j in tho most fantastical manner, nud eveu
thc hardest punishment could uot put a
stop to this singular amusement, to which
they seem to havo taken becauso they are
not permitted to have cats, aud get no
pay. When General Pelissier was ofibr
ed tho command in tho Crimea, ho ac?
cepted it only upon tho condition that
the Zephyrs would accompany him there,
and if they should behave well, they were
to be pardoned aud permitted to return
to their regiments. They were seut
there, and their success was complete.
lu tho battle near Tactics, tho Rus?
sians had formed a square which tho Sar?
dinian cavalry had vainly attacked, when
General Bosquet, who then commanded
thom, advanced tho Zephyrs. Some
English officers requested him not to
sacrifice his mon uselessly, but General
Bosquot made them a speec which com
meuced, "You sons of hell," and closed
with "forward to tho attack." With a
war-cry, Viva la Morl, instead of Viva
l'Empereur, they swept into and over tho
Ru??iau bayouots like a whirlwind aud
soon their yatnghans had mado such ter?
rible havoc in tho Russian linop, that tho
most desperate exertions of the Russiau
officers wero unable to avert defeat.
TUE CH ASSEUKS D'AFRIQUE.-These are
a cavalry corps consisting of four regi?
ments. They carry a long rifle, two re?
volvers, aud a sword, and are all mounted
ou select horses of the best Barbary
blood. Their continuous service in
Afrioa amongst and against the Bedouins
has made them superior riders, and they
perform all the feats on horseback in
which thu sons of the desert ezoel; and
wiU ride at full gallop, turn in Baddie,
and fire to the rear with precision. They
also distinguished themselves during the
Crimean war. Qeueral Allonvilly, who
commanded a corps of 1,500 Chasseurs
d'Afrique, attacked with them 12,000
Russian dragoons, tho favorite cavalry
corps of tho Emperor Nicholas, on the
plain of Simferopol, and dofeated them
so completely that their commander,
General Corff, committed suicide from
shame.
How THE FRENCH EMPEROR WENT TO
B.VTTLE.-European papers state that
tbe baggage of the French Emperor,
which preceded him to tho sent of war,
looked more liko a traveling hospital
than like the traps of a general. It con?
tained, among other things, a large
medicine chest, three kinds of bathing
tubs, and some other bathing appurntus,
an invalid's easy chair, a stretcher of
peculiar constructiou, aud a great deal
of other medical and sick-room apara?
tos. Tho horses of the Emperor which
were sent, to tho frout were most care?
fully selected from thc Imperial stables
by tho Emperor's own valet. He picked
out the tamest and goutiest brutes he
conld find, and even went so far as to
buy somo horses, not so much for their
beauty and spirit, for they show very
little of either, as for their meek and
geutlo demeanor. Before they were sent
to the front, they were exposed to a
great deal of artillery firing, to accustom
them to tho roar of cannon, the only
thing their rider will probably hear of
tho battle, and this took the last vestige
of spirit they still possessed away from
them. The valet was also most particu?
lar iu cxaminiug the saddlos destined for
tho usc of his Majesty, had all double
wadded, aud bad extra paddings put on
tho back.

HOLPEN DEFIES JUDGE BROOKS.- If
any thiiig farther was needed to convince
any sane man that Governor Holden is
indeed demonted, it is furnished iu the
following iuceudiary article taken from
his paper, the Standard, of yesterday:
"We learn that Judgo Brooks, tho
District Judge, who waa in this city,
yesterday, hos issued a writ of habeas cor?
pus against Col. Kirk, commanding him
to produco tho bodies of certain prison?
ers held in Yancey ville by order of tho
Governor.
.'What has Judge Brooks to do willi
mordor cases in North Caroliuu? Gov.
Holdeu is sustained by tho Supreme
Court of tho State. By "what authority
docs Judge Drooka disregard tho action
of tho State Court ?
"Is Judgo Brooks ready to involve thc
people of North Carolina in civil war?
Does ho suppose Gov. Holden will ro
cede before him?
"Gov. Holden takes uo advice from Ku
Klux murderers or their sympathizers.
Ile ia nut in thc confidence, nor is ho the
tool of such Ku Klux lawyers as Graham,
Moore, Bragg, Merrimou aud Battle
Tho Governor will not recede until tho
{ Federal army is used against him; aud
the Federal anny will not bo used against
him. Wo arc on the eve of civil war,
aud when it begins all the blood and all
the horrors of it will be on the skirts of
Judge Brooks."
A SMASH UP.-Saturday night lust,
while the Augusta down passenger train
of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad was near Pine House Depot,
and going at the usual rate of speed, the
locomotivo struck a largo wagon with
lour rn ules attached, smashing the wagon,
killing one mule, and wounding another
so badly that it hud to bc killed. When
the accident occurred, the pissen gera
felt a little shocked, but had uo idea
until tho traiu was ptopped ami an exam?
ination made what caused it. It appears
that the driver, a colored mau, attempted
to cross the track, but while on it his
team balked. He heard the train corning
and attempted to move forward, but Hull?
ing this impossible left his team and rnu
for the woods. The cow-catcher struck
thc fore part of the wagon, smashed it
into little bits and strewed them and thc
contents of tho wagou along the left side
of tho embankment. Tho wheel mules
were toru loose from the leaders, and
one hurled a mangled, bleeding mass cf
llcsh to the right side of the embank?
ment, and the other carried along on thc
cow-catcher for about dOO yards, and de?
posited dead iu the ditch beside the road.
No portiou of the train was injured; the
fancy work about the locomotivo received
I some severe bruises from the fragments
of the wagon. That tho traiu was nut
thrown off thc track seoras a miracle.
MANLY AND JUST.-The Cincinnati
Commercial, being impeached by an ultra'
radical newspaper with infidelity to thc
party, among other things in reidy,
says: "If the policy of governing tho
reconstructed States, as illustrated by
Governor Holden, of North Carolina, is
endorsed by the Republicau party, as it
seems to lmvo been by tho President,
then tho Commercial is not Republican."

j REFORM MEET? N*O AT LETtXOTON COURT
I HOUSE.-The mass meeting appointed
j for Lexington carno off on yesterday.
Wo leam that a large and influentit?!
gathering of whites, aud a number of
the colored people assembled to greet
the reform candidates-Hon. R. B. Car?
penter omi Gen. Butler. Tho meeting
was called to order by the Chairman of
tho occasion, Major Henry A. Meetz;
who introduced tho speakers in graceful
and becoming terms.
Col. Thomas addressed tho meeting,
and was followed by Gen. Butler and
Judge Carpenter. Tho candidates as
usual spoke with force and effect, aud
made a decided impresaiou upon tho
audience. The state of affairs iu Lexing?
ton eau be briefly slated. Tho whites
almost to a mau are for reform, and
doubtless many of the colored voters will
unite with tho whites to secure tho victo?
ry for South Carolina that the reformists
seek.

Messrs. Duffie i: Chapman for a copy of
a new ami most excellent map of thc

ter.
Wo yesterday inspected the model of
a new and improved dining table, the
invention of Dr. M. P. Boyd, of Union.
Tho table has two slats or rails, by
meaus of which a frame, containing the
various dishes, can be brought in front
of each individual-thus dispensing
altogether with servants. The doctor
has secured a patent for his useful in?
vention, and expects to commen?a the
manufacture immedately in Columbia.
You can gut any kind of book, job
and fancy printing executed in best
j style, at shortest notice and New York
prices, at PIIIEN?X office.
Heise's "stamp candy" is all the rage,
and the little folks "go for it" with a
? rush. By the investment of five cents
j you get a stick of choice candy, with a
I prospect of obtaining ten, twenty-five
or fifty cents in currency.

A BEAUTIFUL TUOUOUT.-It may Lo truth?
fully saul that tho greatest of ull blessings is
health, for without it the joys vouchsafed arc
turned tn sorrows. To all health is essontial
for life's enjoyment and pursuits, to tho
young and old, to the rich and poor. Are you
in search of wealth? Health is necessary.
Do you dosire ollico and worldly honors?
Of whal avail would these be without health?
The beauties of spring, the song of birds, the
ilecj) blue sky, the rolling ocean, all have a
poetic fascination which charms only thc
healthy in mind and body; but to tho sick
what arc those but mockeries. Tho body dis
eased, tho mind sickly o'er with the saddest
of thoughts. Oh! that I may livb to appre?
ciate tho blessings of health. This rich boon
U within tho reach of all. Tho remedy at
haud in HEINITSII'S QDEEN'8 DEI.IOHT, tho
health panacea. Now is tho timo to try it.
