LANDS FOR SOLDIERS. The land law or July 15, 1870, pissed by-Congress at its last session, which grants lands along railroads to soldiers and sailors, reads as follows :. • — 'llied - every - private Schiller and offi cer who has served In thelriny of the United St, tes;during the rebellion, for ninety days, and remained loyal to the governtnnt ;_and every' seaman, •ma- rine andfliesr, or other person, who . has serve in the navy of the U.

If it is, the right to vote will 4dt only lio secured to every oitisen, but our elcctiens will be stripped of the opportunities for tho perpetra tion of the gross frauds by which they bays been so often disgraced. In the sanctity of the elect ive franchise and the purity of the billet box, is to bo found tho surest guaranty of permanency of our republican institutions." There are other sections in the law intended to prevent fraudulent regis tration and voting in the\ large cities, more partiouhuly, and we hope our friends in New York will see that the high-handed frauds enacted in that ci ty shall not be repeated in the election soon to take place. Mr. Bwoope is a very active, efficient officer, muoh more competent and bet ter qualified to 111 the office than his 1) red ecesioxi. The su7ender o(Toul , was an impor tant-via* for th 4 Germans. Twenty- Feven. hundred prisoners, one hundr4ci and ninety-seven canon, five hundreei and odd thousand rations—these were the material advantages gained. Bu these were the least of the benefits 'ar ising from the capture. By tOls capl tfilation the Germans become possessed of an dnobstructed line of railway com munication between their frontier and tife City of Paris. Tills was a necessity to them, because of the difficulty of conveying ammunition, stores, and siege trains, by the common roads around the fortress. For much of the distance the Germans now possess three lines of railway, anappear to be buil ding others. The d IlicuWes of main.

The French ,Government urged the peasants to destiny them in the rear of ttie German armies ; but as long as France Is unable to encourage iihe peasants by the operations of large bodies for the'same purposes, they will not turn "bushwhackers.?', In outown experience it was found that there was no ditil t ufty In mal i ntainlng railway !Wei iu the aimies or raid e rs ttoeareit bibune." - Stu Agitaton, vc,r - za....r_.EortcrEcci, WEDNESDAY, PCT. 12, FOR CONQRSSir WILLIAM H.

Jtistice may sleep, hut never dies : Truth watches by her side : Er ror may rise ; rising but to fall beneath them. There have been many calumnies and alsehoods set afloat against the Repub- licau candidates during the contest lust_ closed ; and iu this st4te of affairs we have seen nothing new. It is the old story. We have not deemed it necessa oy to refute them ; for most of them are BO absurd, that they carry the refuta tion upon the surface.., When a man or party is unable to meet opposing facts and arguments, it is the habit of those who have no manhood to resort at once to recrimination and abuse in answer. When the'bird is wounded, it flutters. It is hard to looitdefeas and failure,in the face, and know they are the penalty of injustice and wrong. Such ha : ve been the defeats and failures of the De mooratic party, ever since it became the champion of falsehood, iniquity and oppression. Struggling for the maste ry, this party has sought to triumph by fusion of ail hateful prejudices and, heinous vices.. It could not change its 'Ware, and it strove for success by a union of all outstanding wrongs._ It is not a party : it is a combination of all opposition, without regard to principle. It seeks strength in numbers, not: mea sures ; in opposing and conflicting dog mas and kindred discontent. All over the country, 'tie the same. In this , County, it will vote for any man whose name or previous politieitl affiliations can bring a single hope of dissension .in, the ranks of the Republican party. No principle i asserted, no reform is f)toffered, no allegiance is enforced, , -- The one essential is success, no matter 141 v, no matter by what influences. So it floes elsewhere. Such a party should take counsel of defeat, and lay Some foundation in the solid rook, upon which to build for the future. -Defeat muit\follow all-parties, In the end, the elements of which are incOrigruons and antagonistic. So we advise the Democratic — party to begin aneir, , and stand upon some platform. Any success without this, is final de feat. -The little story published on the first page,ontsi ins a leSson which we fain wish very parent would remember.— How very many men go through long lives without accomplishing anything great or good, simply . because they ne ver find their proper calling, of - Lind it only when the ambition to excel lies dead upon the heart! It might be said that geOns can never be amothe.i6V this may be so ; yet its conquests may be delayed, and its final triumph aver ted-,=forantof-opportunity, or, worse, by the Opression which too often curbs the you 0g mind, struigling for indttl go t ill ee of its QWII bent. I stead of restraining the young from Ind lgenee of their peculiir inclination, we hould give them a free way, with the Utmost liberty to turn in either di reetion. Of course restraint should be exercised, when the tendency is wrong. But it matters riot what the trade or calling may bo ; if useful and respecta ble, the right to choose should be full and free. Many a boy is spoiled by am bitious parents, who behold in their eon a future Webster or Beecher, and straightway' begth to cramp his course of ilfe into the channel which they think will carry him safely into the harbor of success. Every tendency in other directions is duly checked 1 there is but one way leading to the forum, and that he must follow, no matter how mailY,' more inviting, open before' him. The parents, intent upon the one oh 7. Sect, never see these turning off places, and all glances of / the child An such di rections are chiddd as childish freaks, or denounced as the wilei of the temp ter "to ensnare the feet of youth." Give the children fair play: let na tare, not force, preside. Watch. It is better to be a good blacksmith than a poor lawyer—better to be what one is, than try to be what he is not, and can not be. There is a movement on foot in the British colonies of Australia to form a confederation, something after the type , of that in Canada. It seems to be welt under way, and quite likely .to be ac complished without formidable opposi tion from' the mother country. 4 At any other time than the present, when all eyes are turned to the events transpiring on the European continent, this event would ,be looked upon as an epoch of importance in the world's his tory.

She has made couckssions to her Arno • icon Provinces, until the power of thy home government is scarcely felt in the empire of the New Dominion,, and her subjects there enjoy almost as large lib erty as the citizens of our own republic do here. With ail this, tendency to indepen dence, the majesty and grandeur of the British empire begin to wane, and have in fact dwindled so much that England no longer stands foremost ambng the Great Powers. Yellow fever has made its appearance in the city of New York, for the first time in some'4l3 years. It`has been pre \relent on Viiivernor's Island for the last two months, where there have been 100 cases, 25 of whicl\have proved fatal.— It is thought that the disease will !not become epidemic, at so late a season of the year. TRUE TO IRS PLEDGES. lEeonomy, Retrenchment, Faithful Collection of he Revenue and Paynzent of the Publi Debt." Thus said iden t Grant, on assum ing the responsibility of his high office. How faithfully he has kept his pledgee, the people know. In the 18 months of his administra tion ending Sept. 1, 1870, the govern ment, under Republican policy, has col lected $87,213,765 50 more revenue than Was collected the last 18 months of Pre sident Johnson's administration ; and during' the same time, the expenditures have been diminished $82,853,060 37; making a total difference of $170,066,- 826, 37 ! During the same public debt has been reduced 109 60. At this rate, the total debt paid in less than fifteen yea, with this flattering result, fa: been reduced to the extent - .., millionsannually, till there now remain no special taxes, except as follows 1. Tax on liquors. 2. Tobacco and cigars. 3. Incomes. - ' 4. National banks. 5. Gas: • 6. Stamp tax. The reduction of expenses is " Econ omy, retrenchment;" the increased rev enues under reduced taxes, and the re duction of the debt, speak volumes for the "faithful collection of the revenue and payment of the public debt." Jules Favre's Second Circular• In his second circular to the French diplomatic representatives, dated Sep tember 17, M. Jules Favre says : - Twill-atm up our (entire policy. 'ln acceptingllie p6rilous task ,which was imposed upon us by the fall of the Im perial, Government we had but one idea—namely,. to defend our territory, to save-our honor, and to give back to the nation the power emanating from itself, and which it alone could exer cise. We should have wished that this great act might haVe been completed without transition, but the first ne cessity was to 'face the enemy. We have not the pretension to ask disin terestedness of Prussia. We take ac count of the feelings to which the great ness of her losses and the natural exal tation of victory have given rise. These feeling.s explain the violence of the Press, vdhick. we are far from con founding with the inspirations of states men. These 'latter will hesitate to con tinue an "impious war, in which more than 200,000 men have already fallen. To force conditions upon France which she could not accept would only be to, compel a continuance of the war. It is objected that the Government is with out regular power to be represented. .It is for this reason that we immediately summon, a freely-elected Assembly. We do not attribute to ourselves any other privilege than that of giving our soul, and our blood to our counrty, and we abide by its sovereign judgment. It is, therefore,. not authority reposed in us for a day. It is immortal France uprising before . Prussia—France di vested of the shroud of the Empire, free, generous, and ready to immolate herself for right and liberty, disavow ing all political conquest, and all viole propaganda, having no other amb' o than to remain mistress ofterself, a to develop her moral and material for ces, and to work fraternally with her neighbors for the progress of civiliza tion. It is this France which, left to her free action, Immediately asks, the cessation of the war; but prefers its disasters a thousand - times to dishonor. Vainly those who set loose a terrible scourge try now to escape the crushing responsibility by falsely alleging that they yielded to the wish of the coun try. This calumny may delude people abroad, but there is no one among us who does not refute it as a-work of re volting bad faith: The motto in the elections of 1869 was peace and liberty, and the plebiscitum itself adopted it as its programme. It is true that the ma jority of the Legislative Body , cheered the warlike declarations of the Duke of Gramont, but a few weeks previously it had also cheered the, peaceful decla rations of M. 011ivier. A majority emancipating from personal power be lieved Itself obliged to follow docilely - 1 and voted trustingly ; but there is not a sincere person in Europe_ who could affirm - that France freely consulted made war' against Prussia. I do xi6?t draw the conclusion from this .that we are not responsible. We have been wrong, and are cruelly expiating our -having bril9rated a Government which ledus-to ruin. Now we admit the ob ligation to repair by 'a measure of jus tice the 'it has done ; but if the Power with which it has so seriously Compromised us takes advantage of our misfortunes to overwhelm us, we shall oppose_ a desperate resistance, and it Will remain well understood - that it is the nation, properly represented in a freely elected Assembly, that this Pow er wishes to destroy. This being the question raised, , each one will do his duty. Fortune has been hard upon us, but she is capable of unlooked-for revo lutions which our determination will call forth. * Europe begins . to be moved, and sympathy for us is being rewaken ed. The sympathies of foreign cabinets console us and do us honor. They will be deeply struck by the noble, attitude of Paris in the midst of so many terrible causes for excitement. Serious, confi dent, ready for the utmost sacrifices the nation in 'arms descends into the arena without lookink back ' and having before its,eyes this' simple but great duty, the defense of its homes and in dependence. I request you, Sir, to en large upon these truths to the repre sentative of the Government to which ;you are accredited. Ile will see their tin portrnee, and will thus obtain a just idea of our disposition.

I have noticed two articles in your columns of late--one entitled " Girls Allowing Themselves to be Handled," and the other, " Hands OM"— The writers of both, no doubt, think that they are doing a great work for the "girls ;" but I do not like the manner r and style in which this ques tion is discussed. -i The spirit of both articles holds woman in the;position of a slave to the re quirements and dictation of man, instead of !res ting her as an equal. They call upon girls to be. modest and discre4 as though these were virtues that our boys did not need to learn. I'ho groat mass of teaching that our yoting of both sexes receive, is, that a boy is at liberty to lead a girl astray, if he ean, and the responsibility of doing ,right is'all with the girl.

A FRIEND. Editor Agitator: I have always felt a deep interest in our Common Schools, and have been so much interested in the Teachers' Insti tute, lately held in your place, that I cannot for bear sending a few of my thoughts to be pre— served in ink. I was there only a part of the time, but heare'and saw enough to amply repay me for my trouble. I was surprised to find so largo an attendance at the Institute, when your Fair, races and theatricals were in session; so many anxious faces straining to catch every sound that fell from the lips of those who were older and more experienced. I was present when Mr. Wickersham gave his lecture. If the Direc tors and other school officers treasure up what Mr. Wickersham said, and put it in practice, it will be of infinite benefit to our schools. I was gratified to hear Mr. Wickersham speak so highly of our Representatives. And let me lay hero that the report of the Institute does both Mr. Wickersham and Mr. Niles injustice.— Not intentional on the part of the reporter,for he cannot be expected to catch every word that falls from a speaker's lips, or make each. soutane° read as it was uttered. • kr. Wickersham, after speaking of the hearty support ho had always received from tho mem bers from this county, said very near the follow ing words : " I see that one of your members of the Legis lature, who resides at this place, is not present this evening, and I can say. to you, what out of modesty I could not say if ho were here.. In him I have always found an ardent supper* of, any measures intended to promote the cause of education. I feel myself greatly indebted to him for his efforts to obtain proper legislation for my department." • He then goes on with his compliments to Mr. Strang, about the same as the reporter has them. AU of the above concerning Mr. Niles the raper. for forget, or through his interest in the remarks of Mr. Wickersham did not put in his report.— This, is a matter of not much account, (that is the words,) but coming from the lips of Mr: Wiokereham,one who is familiar with the con duct of our epresentatives, it is no more than fair that the exact words should be given. For many years Washes° has not had ouch an educational revival. It is to be hoped that in the future they may be more plenty.
