The Huron Expositor, 1870-10-21, Page 2- 1 1 ON. EXPOSITOR. Enduret. tech of the Uhl4ns. • ----' : . . 4_ The Hussars and Uhltmen have ' ever f) left the French army out of sight sin . the battle of, Saarbrucken- obliged them o fty. What this means will be tunderstood when I add that in the unaccountable and rapid . retreat of the latter through -Lorraine to- wards the Moselle, the '5th Tiih la nee did not -unsaddle theit horses for ja-fortnightt They aftw. the rear of the army- -at -day and -its campfires at night. - It sometimes heitpened that the latter disappeared in the midst of the darkness. Immediately the outposts advanced cautiously, and it 'mostly happen- ed that they foundthe damp deserted. We may judge of the disappointment of the Frenchwhen, on looking round their nett - camp at the break of hlay, -they discovered the little flag waving *film a neighbouring height as quietly as it had dello- the previous evening. The coniequence of. this is that - ilitiost every horse in that regiment has -either a sore back or is laniet so that the cattle are -all French.. The Men, too,. are very much reduced. . A sergeant showed me with a 'Comical 'expiession - of regret where he had buckled 'his hell on leaving Berliiiiiand where he had tie.en obliged to - make a new hole, hecanse the reduction of his outline had far outstripped the' calcula- tions of his outfitter. , Nevertheless, the men look. healthy. They smile when they relate their woes; and look upon what they . have gone through as rather a good joke. No douta the success which has invariably attended them puts them in a 'good humor. if they had been defeated and were keeping watchon the other side of the Rhine in- stead of on this side of the Meese, their spirits would be ?somewhat different, hut' their incessant vielanee in the face of - sum cese is quite as marvelioes as it would have been a matter of course ikehe case of failure. . 1 --teibee; The " Zantippee."

He _ says —As the American is known "1 guess;" the Irishman by "faith your hitnor," : b ir and the Englishman abroad by "d so in Geiraany it is common to say,, "Gott kb." God's praise or thanks to Providence'. Therefore when ling William telegra.phed , to Queen Augusta his "thanks to God "'for ' the recent victory, no one at all familiar with German habits -would for a raoment believe thet it meant either parading of piety • . or hypocriSy Germans make remarkably free with our "Lord's " name, but, I believe, in childish innocence, without, so to speak,. thinlfmg. Thousands of Germans are bap- tised Gottlieb—Him whom God loves; Gottfried—God's peace • Traugott—Trust in God. The surname , Himmel (Heaven) is common, street t ad places have similar names. I I think " a -Presbyterian " would be shocked if Herr Traugott Ijimmel, of No. 2, Heiligengeist Strasse—Mr. Trust in God Heaven, of No. 2 Holy Ghost Street, would hand in his carte. .
