THE DAILY 'Let our Jutt Censure Attend tho True Event." BY J. A. SELBY. COLUMBIA, S. C.. SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1870. VOL. VI-NO. 174. ?f^SfepJMJ** BpV^rWyfMtt former* ly waa ana. aa lt BOW ia, thus criticises the Frehoh e'oldter .of the'present day: The French 'rfo?dler 'has,' in co?ac-' quenco o?,.his mode of lifo, lost all mili? tari^virtues; his disciplina is weak; his ambition i? blunted. I am assured that ! whon. MoMnhon marched through this place (Rheims) tho Ff euell soldiers, tired of carrying their arms, threw them away and laughed and sneered in the faces of their of?oers. I have everywhere found ?roofs of tho vandalism of which tho 'reach soldiers are guilty in their own villages and towns. I have met towns? people who openly declared that they would rather have twenty Prussians ns enemies than five Frenchmen as defend? ers. How careless the French army can be in presence of tho enemy was seen at Beaumont, where our men surprised n largo French encampment in broad day, while the meals were being cooked. They: bad not oven outposts. * * * What the French soldier is in camp, ho is oa the morely. He cannot march ; he, therefore,' make* very little progress day by day. Marchen of five miles for threo or four coneocutivo days, such as our menufcaffa gp often made in this cam? paign, would have garnished the roads withixthe whole French army. The Fren oh soldier is all the more exacting for this. He beare privations unwilling? ly* rgrumblea when they are put upon hitn, and uses force against his own countrymen in order to obtain what he reauirM; The patience and endurauce which oar soldiers showed in this war, when it waa necessary to do without bread, and even water, would be incom? prehensible to the Frenohman. It is true, and I cannot sufficiently accentuate this, that the French have fought brave ? ly-and who would not fight with such a weapon as the chassepot? Where our artillery played upon them vigorously they always fell away from each other, their offioers had no power over them. What we have suffered from them, and Qed knows it is muon, was brought upon ns by their fearful weapon, which was pale I death itself to our men, which smote upon them so like hail that a hap? py chance only preserved any from wounds or death. An economioally-minded Massachu? setts man whose wife had a sore leg, saved the expense of surgical advice by tying her down on a bench and ampu? tating the offending member with a butcher-knife and a hand-saw. The op?ration was entirely successful, os re? garded the leg, but the body bled to death. .. "IB there any danger of this boaL's blowing a fellow up?" asked a timid passenger on board an American steam? boat? "No," was the reply; "but that lady-there is one of the owners, and she is dangerous in that line, if what her husband says is truel" TO THE LADIES. Fall and Winter Opening. MRS.

BRENIZER, Oct 23 Cashier. Special Notices. A TAINTED ATMOSPHERE-Malarious fevers aro most prevalent in the fall. Heavy and uuwholosomo exhalations then arise from tho earth, and tho great disparity between tho tempcraturo of day and night predisposes tho system, enfeebled by tho summer boats, to opidemic dieoases. Tho secretive organs, tho liver especially, aro apt, at this period of tho year, to become inert and sluggish, and all tho bodily powors require renovation. Tho best, indeed tho only protection against the morbid inlluenccs ot tho season is a whole? some medicated stimulant. Pre-eminent among the restoratives of this class, and in* deod foremost among tho remedial and pre? ventivo mcdioines of modern times, stands HoBtetter's Stomach Bitters. Its reputation is co-cxtensivc with thc Western Hemisphere; it has been a staudard articlo for twenty years; ita sales (as may bo ascertained by tho revenue returns) aro far larger than those of any other proprietary preparation on this continent; and tho testimony in its favor em? braces lottersof approval from tho most dis? tinguished members of all the learned pro? fessions and from well known residents of al? most ovory city in the Union. These aro ita credentials. To state what it is doing to pre? vent and assuago tho sufforiDgs of tho human family would requiro moro space than can bo given to the subject hero. Tho dyspeptic, tho bilious, the nervous, tho weak and ema? ciated, tho desponding, tho broken down, find in its renovating and regulating proper? ties a sure and immediate means of relief.
