IV hnprovenuit iiitrtiduced Into the ftnpy of so
bellicose a nation as the French cannot bntbJe of in
terest, and worthy ,t)f noting by all European Pow
ers. Thetaette of be Prcneh iufantry,.whiebr in
case or a I6gand" teious war, w'pUld be likely to,
be largely angmented, are of a partwiltariy formida
ble nature to trnops that are no prepared for them,
or which do not poeaess in perfecfirm that calmness ahd
solidity which long service ehd high dwdplinc'alone
can tbmpletely bestow. And France has always in
Africa 40,000 men, whom it would tak little mjre
than a cbange of uniform to convert into Zouaves. A
recent writer on the Algerian army made the following
remarks on the Zouaves. ,
" The superiority of French soldiers K m great
part to be (attributed to the intelligent manner in
which they fight. Among them the Zouaves liave
acquired a special reputation forr spontanicty of1 ac
tion ; they are the artists of the' battle field, The
part they play in an engagement necessitates partieu
lar qualities thej Rre specially apt at surprises, 'cowj
de wain, and la those acts of daring which often ?e
oifl t.hn futa nf. tUe dav. .Thev are tlie advanced
guard, tlie heads of columns of an army. TbcirA
vorite arm is the bayonet ; ii musketry they have
but moderate confidence; n many balls h W.. whis
i.l.i !,..niU..I,. I,,, ilwmi . it ttinr ilesnise lead and
i gve the profereuce to steel. With1 the bayonet one
! is surer of the result. The favorite tactics of the
j Zouaves hft,ve been thus summed up by Gen. CI.t
' (a distinguished French officer, who ten -mended a
regiment of Z-maves at the caphwof 8fbatool) :
; " They spread theniai'lvea in skirmishing onler, get" as
! near as possible to the enemy, bewiMif him by one
or two dose volleys, and attack wittS- the l iiynnet,
turning bia flanks ', tlie same time." ..
" Success-ha alniost invariably crowned this ma
iittMivre, -althongli there mi; ht be serioiis otijeetioiis to
it with other men than Zoi.avea: In fact, when they
thus dash forward they ar- disperaftt te disurdor, and
it seems imnostiillt) to rail,- thnnin' case of am at-
I tack by 'cavalry. But the : regiirifent poxess such
! an inteJlbJence of war, siii h a surprising raphNty of
evolntionSiliio great an individual s.ilidity, that a line
j of skirmishers, scattered over a eonniderabte extent
! "round, transforms itself into a square .in- the spare
of a few miuutes. The olhVers, who have tiled their
men and, know their value, leave them tho utmost
lii.ertl'iiosble'. .Instead of thwarting their formi
dable Impetus by uselessly dressing them in' line,
they content themselves with leading them agauist
the feeblest point of that of the enemy. Moreover,
the Zouaves themselves have a particular tnstinctjii
recognizing the vulnerable place against whieh their
efforts should be brought to bear.''

i Th Ren t Northern Elections.
The New Yor' Herald, of the Tfli instant, has an
Interesting ed!triiil giving an aiinlytical vkw of the
itvtt t ekitious, and foreshadowing in some very .ig
niti.4nt spevcfies the policy of the4 Democratic or
O'ltservntive party.
Tbo conclttsions of this artilee as to the political
Cotuplflrion or the next Congress are as follows:
.OonserviilivW,' $ 101
lWpublicana, -. 83
' ." '. ' ' " '
Conservative majority, a 18 "
.The Ueruld jwriistiiitly says the i.lca that the De
ngicrals elected to the uexV Congress should .hold a
(XiSfeiitioti to. ikfliie their and publish to the
world authoritatively tlte meaning of the late elec
tions. :.. - . -. ui , . "
Tlie plain suggestions of this and other articles of
the Herald arte, that tho recent Democratic triumphs
slnmld be made the early oci asiuii of laying the foun
dation ( f a thihw party to tlie South. It is not im
probable that if liicse suggestions ate followed the
KnuKtatic party of the North will ere long nfler
plan for the reconstruction of the Union, based pnsni
bly nnoh the ea-tftiiwrn tf-tht New England Slates,
the adoption of the Constitution of tho Confederate
States, and whatever other concessions 'might cath
.tlio siijierficial views of people of the South. The
hints of such RO experiment upon the South are quite
plain In recent outgivings of the Northern press. ,
The J-BM indicates tne policy oi ai once jj-nev-iiig
the Hjop!e of the South of all delusions and false
impressions as to the spirit and purposes of ' con
servative North.'.' It thinks that the reenit Demo
cratic triumphs are forcnfiiiiers of some great and
berteficfal iterttrttt but It Is c ircful to say that
tboy do not Invoke a treaty of pci je uponany other
basis than Ui; lotegrijy ot tu union.:; jwcawiaer.
