COLUMBIA, S. q. Sun lay Horning, September 18,1870. O.ruuin Poivcr-Thc German Unco and Ita Development!? ' The pending Franco -Pr nasiau war bas brought out in bold relief the power, the skill, and the bardy qualities of the German people. Years and years ago stray tribes migrating from Western Asia and Eastern Europe poured Southward, and under Teutonic banners peopled the central region of Europe with a hardy and powerful race. When Ctesar, in the coarse of his military oaroer, boro the arms of B?mo Northward, the present territory of Germany was inhabited by the Oer mani, that is, by ger-men or spearsmen. They consisted of numer? ous detached tribes, and were a tull, strong, fair-haired and fair-hued set of people. These divisions were long kept up, and it is only recently that the states? manship of Bismarck has, under Prus? sia's lead, brought about a union of the German States, that has developod al? ready a vast power. The wandering .tribes of the Gennani have become trans? formed into one vast commuuity, which, stretching from the Rhine to the Dan? ube, have all at onco made a remarkable exhibition of a homogeneous people wedded together by common hopes and . common views, and illustrates a spirit of iCTiteuse nationality. Over 40,000,000 of people are now willingly fighting and dying for "the Fatherland." Under the kingly spirit of William, tho astute di? plomacy of Bismarck, and the military genius of Von Moltke, the German power, humbling Austria on tho ono baud, and France on the other, has risen rapidly into view. Let us hope that all this power and all this development shall be found not inconsistent with the li? berties and the prosperity of tho people. The Germanic raoe, it is computed, num? ber in Central Europe, about 48,000,000 of souls, to which add about 5,000,000 more elsewhere located, we have a total of about 53,000,000 of Germans in Europe. In the United States, the German race and its offshoots number, it is said, about five millions. Assuming that tho Germans elsewhere number about two millions, we have the German people now represented by about sixty millions cf souls. When we bear in mind how ex? pansive, how thriving, how industrious, bow steady, how persevering these peo? ple as a race are, we can form some idea of the great influence the Teuton must exert ou the civilization and progress of the century. Let Germany shun further territorial aggrandizement; let her look to intellect? ual, moral, and material progress; let her shun the fleeting shadows of milita? ry ambition; let her seok peace and its fruits; let her conoede due political pri? vileges to her people, and it is in her power to establish in Central Europe a great, a prosperous aud a happy State. But, let her make the people of Germa? ny the instruments of the ambitious projects of titled heads, and her govern? ment will sooner or later go down beforo the iudignaut uprising of an outraged peopls. A Paris correspondent of a Northern journal gives additional importance to the fear expressed by Gen. Trochu, that advantage would be taken of a niege by the mob to plunder and murder. If wo ] are to credit the report, that samo thirst j 1 for blood which deified thc guillotine is ! already rife with tho sans culottes. Thc old cry of denunciation against aristo? crats is not only heard, but is gradually growing a3 fierce and savnge as of old. Violent threats are indulged iu against the ladies yet remaining in thc city who wore conspicuous at all court ceremoni? als and fetes, uuder tho Empire; even the secret arrest and incarceration of several in Vincennes hoing already ru? mored. If the tiger is not entirely loose, it is yet evident that his leash is not very strong in the hands of the Republic, and that it is not entirely without tho bounds J of possibility for the old "reign of ter- . ror" to find a modern parallel. General | Trochu is, for oue, not insensible of tho danger, and it is to be hoped his frank? ness and foresight may result in entirely ?averting such a calamity. Wa fail to see the charged inconsis? tency of King William, in marching on to Paris, after having captured Napo? leon. All wars are settled by treaties, in whioh it i3 tho object of each party to exact the mont favorable terms possible. Eing William, by marching on to Paris, simply seeks to place himself in this position, and thus seoure a speedy set? tlement. To pause at Sedan, and re? sign his advantoges, was rather too much to expect under any possiblo cir? cumstances. When ha arrives beneath tho walls of Paris, it will bo time enough j for him to announce whether he intends i maintaining his consistency or not. A scape-grace-A mau lato at dinner. Astounding Development?I The following confidential circular was recently picked up in front ot the Gentral Hotel at Union Court House, where it had, in all probability, accord? ing to tho evidence adduced, been drop? ped by ono of the Radical leaders in that section. The original is with the Secretary of tho Exocutive Committee of thu Union Beform Party, and can be seen at his office. Tho facts connected with its ho? ing found aro supported by affidavits, which also can bo seeu at the Executive Committee Booms: [CONFIDENTIAL CIRCULAR. J COMRADES: The radical cause is in danger. Tho Beform party is gaining rapidly. Our party is boiug divided in different sections; nothing but a tre? mendous effort with the whole radical party united as one mau can save the party from defeat. Wo must gain the elections this fall, or our party is irre? vocably annihilated. We must save our cause, although we may bo called upon to sacrifice thc live.'j of some our best men lo carry the point. Remember Randolph, the martyr ot his own party; it was his foul murder being charged to tho Deinoeruts that saved the State for General Scott, two years ago. We must wiu agaiu, if we have to sacrifice the lives of a score of om* prominent leaders. The question naturally pre? sents itself as to how we shall determine who to offer up. I know of no better plan thou this: Let all the Leagues in each County appoint five delegates from each League, to meet at some central point in thc County; and let it be tho duty of these delegates to select one promi? nent color od mau of tho party in thc County for a special arid important pur? pose, to be made known to him by the Governor, at tho proper time. Lot the name of each man thus selected bo re? ported to the Governor, whose duty it shall be to take tho necessary steps through tho constabulary force to have them put to death in some secret place, and lot the crimo be charged to the Reform party. This plan will unite tho negroes for tho radicals, and the day will be ours. This plan will be made known to our prominent white members of the Union Leaguo party in each County, and it is expected that the greatest cau? tion and secrecy will be observed, and that the plan will be carried out about tho 20th of September.

A correspondent ol tho Lynchburg Ka publican, writing trom AlleghanySprings, Ya., relates o conversation' with'General; Beauregard about tho war "in Europe. Some of the General's views are of in? terest: - ~ The question was asked; What is tba matter with France? Consider her for? mer military fame, that of tbs first war? ring nation in Europe; consider her pa? triotism, the devotion and readiness with which she went to the fiold; her noble, unsurpassed postponement of every political question, of every faction in her legislative body to win tuc safety of her country-even the "Impractica? bles" like Favre and Thiers shouting "resistance to the doath!" Look at her ready and even excessive loans to the government; her public spirit risen to a height that disdains ail compromises and hurries to offer all possible sacrifices. Then why her defeat, and her defeat continued and aggravated on every field? Why this succession of disasters? Ls it not possible that there may have beca treachery in tho French camp, as wheu the Emperor is reported to have made the exclamation that "ho was betrayed" -and, iudeod, you noticed the last ac? counts, "the Frouch soldiers in Belgium turned upon their officers and massacred them?" General Beauregard replied ot length, aud with a clearness aud detail of con? versation that I do not pretend to report, but in the third and distnut person. The hypotheses that had been named, the suspicious of treachory, or of gross iucompetency thrown ou particular French ofiieer?, were possible; but they were not necessary to answer the pro? blem of tho French defeat. After all, it might be found in slight causes. War, modorn wur, had got to be such au ela? borate competition, one so closo and ex? acting, that the least shade of superiority iu any one respect might incline the balance. The French system of attack was a traditional out; they relied on momentum, dash. Ho referred to au article in the Pall Mall Gazette, which compared the military systems and prac? tice on the fiold of Franco and Pruasia. The latter had the advantage in the close and scrupulous calculation of everything calculated to give advantage to the single soldier actiug as a combatant, and in? spired with the idea that on his indivi? dual effort depeuded the fortune of the field. Here was a government that had studied tho military efficiency of the man almost exclusively, to the highest point. A goverumeut more exacting thau the Oriental despotisms; but mort intelligent than these. The whole so ciety of Prussia was a vast, elaborate organization, a camp; the supreme iden everywhere visible that the man bc longed to the government. Form, se? verity was the feature of their civiliza? tion; popular education was enforced even its social industries were organized in Prussia, no man could pursue a trade unless ho had served an apprenticeship or performed certain public conditions, The idea of tho great Frederich had beet constantly cultivated sinco his time, t( make a nation of soldiers; organizatiot and discipline iu every department ol life; and to-day we see its results in tin most porfectly trained armies-soldier; the most obedient, yet enthusiastic, hav ing that peculiar combination of Bteadi ness with spirit, that makes the bes soldiers iu the world-and that is tin end, the culmination of all military edu cation. "Who"-and Gen. Beauregard spoki with a suffused face-"could doubt tin courage of the French soldier? Tb< bravest people iu the world may fal under tho complications of science-tin force of a single fact overlooked ii the grand and elaborate competitioi of war.'- Ho had noticed, as far a anything could bc discovered frou the confused despatches of the newspa pera, that tho French had adhered t< their favorite, traditional practico ii the field, that of attacking in dosi column. On the other hand, the Pms siaus deployed their lines, seemed ti have the constant idea of developing tin largest front of fire, and all the newspa per; bad invariably remarked the slow ues.s and deliberation of their tire. I was a circumstance noticed with curiou unauimity by all tue war correspondents Au article in the Virginian, under hi hand, read: "The Prussians never al tack iu squares." What the General designated as "th arm of precision" had changed th whole character of modern war, aud hi feared that tho French had not suth cieutiy accommodated themselves to th important and radical iuuovatiou mad iu small artus. Their favorite idea c attacking iu clo3e column and carryiuj the field with a ru.sh was good in forme circumstances; brilliaut; supplied th two conditions of physical momeutui and moral inspiration. But tho arm c precision had changed all that. "I had au iuterviow," said Genen Beauregard, "with the Emperor Nape leon in 1860." The fact, as known t this writer, and obtained by him, nc from General Beauregard, but from member of tho press of Paris, is thi Geuoral Beauregard visited tho Frene capital in 1866; was received thore-a the Grand Hotel-with an ovation thf surprised his modesty, and was invite to a special iuterviow with tho Empero who, with characteristic and, indeed, ni blc desiro to acquiro information, askc our great Southorn general pointed! what most remarkable and significar fact he had observed in the war out < which he had just come with world-wid and immortal reputation. General Beai regard replied with a dissertation on tl use of tho small-arm. He gave tho Ec peror a manuel illustration of tho sui j eut. repeating his remarkable convictic of tho change which tho arm of prec sion had made in the art of war. Th arm had made calculation the virtue . the modern soldier. Formerly, with tl old smooth-bore musket, the soldier fin in tho air; his enemy was only a mass front of him; now with tho ohaasepot and noodlo-guu, where a man could kill nt 2,200 yards, he fired upon an individ? ual enemy; he could seleot him. It had become au exact mechanical task for the soldier to kill his onemy. Ile (General B.) bad one advice which he constantly gave to bis soldiers on every o cen son; it was his dogma, his constant remark whenever he had tho opportunity to speak to tho private soldier: "Aro low and Aro slow." The common fault of tho soldier in the nae of musketry was throwing the eyo on tho sight at the extremity of his wea? pon; thus instinctively, unconsciously it being below the lovel of tho eye-to raise it too high; and the deflection of a hair's breadth in any of the modern arms of long raugo mado all the difference in the world. The obvious remedy was the double sight near tho breech to correct this instinctive elevation of the piece. But, al'ovo nil, deliberate firing had boen his poiut of instruction. Modern war was becoming au affair of death-dealing machinery; it abolished much of the ro? mance and chivalry of arms; but, after all, the speaker came back to the leading idea, that tho cio.se competitions of mod? ern ~ar were to bo decided by mechani? cal differences, these sometimes of the slightest description; and that a single defect in the French military system might supply all the explanation that public curiosity has needed for their se? ries of defeats. In thc conclusion of tho conversation General Beauregard remarked that he thought Prussia would prove a gonorons euetny, and would not exact humiliations. He spoke with great feeling of tho un? worthy frenzy of the French people to? wards the unhappy Emperor, even climb? ing Qve-story houses to tear down the arms and insignia of bis empire! Na poleou had given France not only pres? tige, but a development aud prosperity the most undoubted. He could testify, visiting Frauce iu 136G, that there was not a happier people in Europe-"eveu happier than thc romautic peasautry of Euglnnd." .'General, what do yon think of Tro? chu, Governor of Paris? The attoutiou of the wholo world has been suddenly drawn upou a man of whom I never heard before." General Beauregard-Well, sir, he may bo "the coming man." I kuow his record well; he is ouo of the most tho? rough .soldiers iu France-a man who adopted that deliberate, characteristic choico of tho thorough eoldier, to serve up through all the subordinate grades of the French army. Bemarkablo of him, he made himself unpopular in the French army for his freedom aud indepeudence in pointing out what ho thought the de? fects of its system. The French, nice and exacting in every other affair of life, pride themselves on not giving attention to military details. General Trochu has had the boldness to criticise repeatedly that affected magnanimity that neglects details, and that has often lost the great opportunities of history. He is the re? puted author of the remarkable military views I just allowed you in the Pall Mall Gazette. Curiously enough, France has not been fortunate iu her recent military traditions. They are those of Algeria, China, Mexico; in every instance (ex? cepting Solferino) that of an inferior and despised enemy easily conquered by that system of attack in which the qua? lity of the soldier is elan, dash, a Budden enthusiasm rather thau the quiet, sedu? lous confidence of tho man behind the machine who is taught the value of posi? tion, and thc virtue of a perfect self posscssiou.

ORGANIZE WHITE COMPANIES.-With? in the last few days tho colored militia company in this town, and for aught we kuow the other companies in this coun? ty, havo received arms and ammunition. This is, no doubt, intended by our kind Governor as au intimidation of the white people of York, and as such it is hard to bear. But wo would earnestly entreat white citizous to restrain themselves, in case of any overbearing treatment, for the good of the country. Any case of individual resistance, unless under very extraordinary provocation, would be used as a pretext for martial law, and might be the occasion for great disorder. The proper method of meeting this emergency is to organizo a white militiu company in every township-not to car? ry on war, but for tho purposo of pre? venting it. So far as the colored militia is concerned, we have no fear of its ever terrifying York County, either alone or backed by the Governor. We aro aware that our white citizens are perfectly competent to protect themselves against outrage or dauger, and that they are no les3 willing than able to do so. It is for this very reason that we advo? cate tho formation of white militia oom pauies. Organization renders more ef? fective individual resistance to aggres? sion, and, at tho same time, confines it within proper bounds. The knowledge that there is nu organized force to pro? tect them will restrain men from acts of blind or reckless resistance. Tho same knowledge will also cool the ardor of thoso who desire to uso the militia for tho purpose of terrifying a peaceful and unoffending population. We believe the immediate organization of white com? panies is also called for as an act of hu? manity to the ignorant rank and file of the militia, who are the mere tools of moro designing men. With their pres? ent instructions (that they aro to scare the white people,) thej* are liable at any time to commit some act that will throw the county into the horrors of a general strife. It is important that they bo in? formed that no such net will be tolerated, aud therefore wo suggest the immediate formation of companies, of at least thirty men each, iu every township. Theso companies can bo so combined as to form three full companies, whose services can be tendered to the Governor. If Gov. Scott accepts their services, well and good; if not, keep up the organizations ready for any emergency. But while we advocate preparation for ills that may happen, we do not advise anything to provoke civil war. On the contrary, we desire to use our whole in? fluence in persuading our fellow-citizens to bear patiently anything short of actual dishonor or inexcusable oppression. If we uro to have bloodshod, Jet tho re? sponsibility not lie at our door. Let us rather strive to prevent it by showing ourselves prepared for the crisis, and then if it is foroed upon us we can, with a clear conscience, uso our united strength in defence of our rights and liberties. - Yorhviile Enquirer. The war in Europe, although it is con? ceded to be something of a war, is not the ouly war in progress at tho present time. In Borneo, about the beginning of Juno, an expedition, of 11,000 Malays, commanded by bis Highness, tho Rajah of Sarauak, attacked a body of Dyaks and defeated them with voluminous slaugh? ter.
