THE EXPRESS insists that the colored iroparty holders in this county have een taxed to pay for the schooling of white children. The assertion is not true, as the records will show. Journal.

The assertion is true, as we showed and the journal confessed some two years ago. "The records will show" that we have stated the exact iruth.

THE Chicago Tribune publishes a statement of receipts of flour and grain which shows that she is behind both Milwaukee am!

In its bitterness the Tribunes ays: "When the harbor improvement at Calumet is completed, and a few elevators are built tliere, we suppose Chicago will be the fourth in the list, unless the Calumet elevators should be owned and operated by the Chicago combination."

I* THE French authorities complain that much valuable information has been given to the Prussian Generals by the cable telegrams sent to this country from Fiance, and su. -c-qnentlv transmitted back to Berlin. Whereupon the Philadelphia Inquirer remarks that "of all the USES to which MORSE'S great invention has been applied this is the most astonishing. The fact that armies in sight of each other should learn facts sufficiently important to affect (heir movements through the' enterprise of newspapers published more than three thousand miles from the scene ot action- in one of the greatest marvels nf these marvelous times."

When it is known that Mr. 1I'NN was summoned to the bedside of his mother, who' wasJstippbsed to b6 dying, the meanness of Hiicli an allusion becomes shaniesj ful^j apparent. We believe, to the credit of human nature, that VOORHEES is the only public man in the United States capable of requiring such service from his organ. But the harmony and consistency of "the statesman's" record will not be disturbed or impaired by the addition of this last item to its thousands of con genial predecessors.

Who but VOORHEES would think of invading the sanctity of the family circle, at such an hour, to attempt to cast odium upon a son for obeying the summons of

dying mother! The rudest barbarians on this continent would respect the sacredness of such an occasion so would thenventge midnffht assassin so would any human creature except him injwhose interest th'e Journal is managed.

The friends of DANIEL know that his last "election"—by a very small majority—was secured by the votes of non-residents, and they are not sure that -it the same game can be repeated with success.

THF. QUESTION OF PEACE. Leading citizens of Berlin held an audience to-day with the Queen and congratulated her on the recent victories. She earnestly expressed herself as desiring peace, but added that private letters had been received, which stated the arriiy unanimously demand substantial guarantees for the future peace of the country before the war could be brought to a close.

THE FRKNCH FLEET. |F

A Pari# dispatch says the Minister of the Navy at the session of the. Corps Legislatif was as reticent as the rest of the government officials. He intimated, however, that good news might shortly be expected from the fleet.

ALL QUIET AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE. A special Paris dispatch says at the Foreign Office everything remains quiet. There has been several informal conferences amongst the different diplomatic agents, but there was no mention of any peace overt urs, such as English papers report. All that is known here is, that Bismarck has indirectly sent information to La Tur DeL'Auvernge that Prussia would only conclude peace on a basis which will make it impossible for France to think of future ravages.

WAR ITEMS.

ft is reported that Ba/.aine is still at Metz, and Metz is isolated that McMahon is still at Chalons and not gone to reinforce Bazaine.

The French themselves assert that Prussians are in strong force on the west aide of Metz.

The situation not materially changed since last Sal unlay, except that the Crown Prince has halted at St. Dizier, for the ptnpo-e of reinforcing the Prussian centre and right.

A l'aris telegram declares that Metz is certainly isolated that the Prussians have cut ofi' communications between Thionvillc, Montmedy and Metz that McMahon anil liazaine are in daily communication, and that no mediation i'J likely to succeed unless Napoleon takes the iuitativc. -Another l'aii-1 special savs La Patrie reiterates mv special oi yestcrdav thai Me.Mahonis forces are with or near llazaine in the Ardennes mountains, but another authority reports it is only the armv of Chalons, the regularly located armv there, that has joined Bazaine, and that' the latter still keeps all his line intact.

PRIVATE ADVICES FROM PARIS. Private advices from Paris received by mail contain the following intelligence, dated Monday,

A Chalon correspondent says the Crown Prince of Prussia is near St. Dizier, and going towards Paris with 100,000. It is uncertain whether they will be able to avoid a light before going further.

Prussian officers don't believe Paris will resist. They expect an insurrection will follow 011 approach of the Prussian armv, which will result in displacement of tlie present French authorities, when a peace mav be early guaranteed. They sav the war will be purposeless if these points cannot be effected.

The Emperor is at Montevadon incognito. A committee of defense has. been or-

^iyi£ft§AMiEn.

A special from Paris to the Times says, I saw a letter to-day from a person high in office at St. Petersburg, stating that the Russian government is seriously alarmed at the state of affairs in Poland. There is great agitation in favor of France, and numbers of Poles are leaving to offer their services in the French army. On the other hand a movement is on foot in the Baltic provinces of the Russian Empire in favor of annexation to the German Confederation, and is gaining ground. The Russian government is on the lftrns of a dilemma. It is believed in selfdefense Russia will be compelled to take part in the war.

PRUSSIAN PARTY IN VIENNA. The Patrie, semi-ollicial organ, says there exists at Vienna a Prussian party encouraged and paid by Count Von Bismarck. It is said the parties who played the odious role of 180l have control of some of the Vienna journals, and since the recent successes of Prussians have endeavored to persuade Austria to act favorably, making a handle of the wellknown sympathy of Hungary for France. The Austrian government, however, has resisted these overtures thus far, and will no doubt maintain friendly neutrality.

The Patrie denies the story that by Austria's withdrawing her Corps of observation Prussia has been enabled to use troops that she conld not otherwise have moved.

INFORMATION WITHHELD. -rf

The Minister of the Interior authorizes the statement that additional advices of a favorable character .have been received from the armies in the field, but the information is purposely withheld, as some journals indiscreetly give details which should be kept back..

DEFIANCE.*^*'""'.'*

The Constitution^ answering the assertions of the London Times that the French are in a desperate condition, that that journal arrives at its conclusions without waiting for positive or authentic reports of recent events and defies^ it to decide who now is in the best military position, Bazaine or King William. It adds that the hostility of the Times is accounted for by the fact that a son of

its

proprietor married a daughter of the Prussian ambassador at London, and some persons says that in addition to this the journal has "been heavily subsidized by Bismarck.

PARIS AND ITS DEFENSES., i.'|.

The Constitutionel semi-officially says without entering into details, we may affirm that the work on the fortifications of the Capital is progressing with wonderful rapidity, and the elan of the populace is immense. Prussian papers represent Paris not the Paris of 1793 to 1815. They will discover their mistake. The Capital proves now as ever that she is the heart of France. She is ready to receive the enemy. The process of incorporating the National Guard with the regular army has commenced.

PRUSSIAN SPY.

It is reported that a'Prussiari spy near Rheims, mistaking a general officer for Marshal MacMahon, fired twice at him. He missed his aim but hit and danger-, ously wounded a soldier standing by the side of the officer. The spy was instantly secured. A MOVEMENT EXPECTED IMMEDIATELY.

A dispatch fromMezieres, dated yesterday p. m., contains the following: The resistance of Marshal Bazaine, even with the small lorce under his command, prevented the advance of the Prussians until tlie organization and preparation ot MacMahon's large, army was entirely completed. McMallon and Bazaine are now ready to assume the offensive, and a movement is expected immediately. They will attack the Prussians together.

NATION At, LOAN.

The Journal Official says the amount of the National loan taken yesterday, so far as heard, was lti',000,00(1 francs, and when the listn e!o.=ed last night, at, least o,000 persons wailing to subscribe wore sent awav. Returns Irom Marseilles, Bordeaux, and several other large cities have not been received. Lists were reopened this morning, and large crowds pressing to subscribe. The loan is quoted,1 in open market at i!i francs, 80 centimes, the ami! figures as rentes.

CONDEMNATION.

The press of the city generally condemn (he conduct of the deputies of the left in yesterday's session of the Corps Legislatif, and (lainhetta's attack is denounced as ill-timed.

THE CROWN PRINCE.

'f!a Liberte says the army of the Prihce Royal, which reached St. Dizier some days ago, ha* not passed that place, but on the contrary has fallen back.

PRUSSIAN LOSS.

The same journal adds that it knows from reliable source that the loss of the three Prussian armies has been as follows: killed 35,000, wounded 85,000.

VIOLATIONS OF I1ELGIAN TERRITORY.

A dispatch from Anton, a frontier town of Belgium, 16 miles from Luxembourg, says violations of Belgian territory bv Prussians are of frequent occurrence. It is reported Prussians attack Belgian soldiers, enter Belgium and Luxembourg with provisions for their army and transport their wounded through sections of neutral territory. These acts lead to the fear that the position of Belgium as a neutral power may be compromised.

A RUMOR.

It is rumored that a well-known lauy of high social position has been arrested on chaige of conveying information to the enemy, and imprisoned in Vincennes.

SUSPECTED OF BEING A SPY.

An English surgeon was taken to the guard-house yesterday on suspicion of being a spy, but on examination he turned out to be attached to the field hospital service, and was released.

BATTLE

The following further particular

telegraphed by/the special correspondent of the Tribune reporting the battle of the 18th. A -reconnoissance made the diiy previous !l7th, showed that the French array was retreating on Verdun. The column was cut in two by an advance of Gernwins, and the last part driven back between Gravellotte and Metz. It was resolved to attack them, as the retrjeat of the French to Verdun was cut off. Germans were posted in north-east direction from Gravellotte commanding the road from Briev to Metz. The 7th Prussia# corps formed right of the line next came the 8th, pasted in the road to Gravellotte the 9th and 12th Corps of Guards were on extreme left the 3d, 1st and 10th army corps were held in reserve the 5th was kept up along the whole |ine.

From 11 o'clock the Prussian artillery seemed overpowering and the FreilHi butteries were gradually driven back 011 a second line. 1 pushed over to the left of the French line, thinking that their position wasabandoned, but to my surprise found the enemy still there, and myself* prisoner. Of what happened alteiwards I can give but little account. The cannonade was renewed on both sides, lasting till nearly ten o'clock, when the French appeared to be retiring.and Prussian guns alone maintained their Ore. I was treated kindly by my captors, who went off through the woods and lost their way in the darkness. While they slept I escaped and reached St. Maine, which was in possession of the Germans, in this village many of ,the houses are battered down, every available spot crowded with wonnded men, even the streets are covered with straw, and French and German wounded lying there in masses together for the night.

BeyondResonville the country is st-ripr ped bare, no conveyance npr food is to be had. Metz is completely surrounded by Prussian forces the Mth army corps having moved round from east to north/ The Saxon corps of pioneers has been sent to the front. .Four Prussian corps will be left about Metz to carry on a siege. The remainder of the army, is to advance towards Verdun. The King's headquarters will be moved in a day or. two to SorthWast

1 Ji 1

A correspondent describes the scene of the battle of thelCtli As Oneseldom equalled. Thirty miles of ground were covered with. dead and wounded of both sides. The cannonade from the German side and the rattle of the needle guns were terrific. The defeat of the French was total. Their line could be seen pouring towards the north in an effort to evade pursuit, by way of Briey. The loss 011 both sides is immense'. Many French prisoners were taken. The King himself is personally attentive to the French wounded. A French peasant taken white Stilling a wounded Gerihitn was hanged. At Gorsee out of 1,000 inhabitants of the neighborhood, scarcely any remained.

The battle of the 14th, Sunday, is described as lboodier than that at Sadowa. In the morning a party of Germans had pushed forward upon the position of the French, who retired as they advanced. The French subsequently received strong reinforcements, ahd intrenched themselves behind earthworks extending around the city at a distance of two or three miles in a circle, including the villages of Barney, Coloberg, Montey, Noisseville and Novilly. On the side of the Germans there were encamped in the immediate neighborhood, the 7th and 1st army corps, which, with the 8th army corps, was further to the rear along the highway from St. Avoid to Metz, formed the first," army under Gen. Von Steinmefz, which is the extreme right of the German combined armies. The number of German troops actually in battle forty-five thousand. The French had a great deal of artillery and cavalry. The Germans had but little cavalry or artillery. The Germans carried all the breastworks against a murderous lire of the French, who were always compelled to retire before them. But the murderous fire of chassepots told very severely 011 the-German*, who iu ihe engagement lost many more than the French. It was t-he superior courage of the Germans which compelled tlie enemy to retire. They did this slowly, contesting every inch of ground until they were driven almost against the walls of Metz.

A special to the Courier Des hiats Luis from Paris, Aug. 23 says, Ihe sprightly element of Parisian people accommodates itself with difficulty to the reign of silence which the ministry imposes. So manv blunders were committed in the opening of the war, it. is feared this change in Ihe policy of Palikao only conceals some new mistake. 1 saw to-day a part of a dispatch from Marshal Bazaine, which the Minister of War communicated to the Corps Legislatif. It was conch-' eil in general terms but it conld never have come frOm a conquered mail, or one doubtful of success. Bazaine Wished to leave Metz, but he was not able. The enemy on the other hand wished to seize and cut his communications with Paris, but both efforts were foiled. It was a draw game. This is in two words the situation and explanation of recent engagements.

We have sustained severe «nd heavy losses, it is said, but those of the eneiiiy have been enormous, tnd.o'it of all proportion to the merely negative advantage which he has gained. We are sending forward reinforcements constantly, but this is done without weakening the defense of the capital. Every day 1,500 .to 10,000 conscripts are sent for the campaign. This morning two battalions of Gardes Mobile, from Brittany and Normandy, left* by raUroad for Ardennes.

I must admit, that they are very poorlyarmed. Their guns were the old muzzle-loaders, and: they were without uniforms, but they were. bra^e and stalwart fellows. Here there is no abatement of patriotism. While the work on the fortifications goes on, the National Guard, and even young men from the schools and Jyceiuns, drill in the manualof arms. Every day .15,000 men are drilled in field evolutions W the Chanftp deMax*.

At the Corps Legislatif there is nothing of great importance. The action of the newly created committee of defense

is, however, reviewed and considerably criticised. I saw the Minister of Marine as he came from to-day's session, silent like the others. Nevertheless, he gave those around him to understand that lie expected very soon, good news from the fljeet. It is time.

Prussian spies swarm upon us, especihlly in thei semi-official world. It is thought that redoubled vigilance must be exercised upon all dispatches sent hence by the way of England, Belgium and Switzerland. M. C. O. Heran^ own signature is necessary in order to send a political dispatch to the United States.

It is difficult to obtain accurate news of what has taken place at Chalons, or in its neighborhood.

At the -War Department they peremptorily refuse to say anything on the subject, but some of the papers, the Patrie and Presse, among others, announce that the corps of Mac Mahon'and Failley have succeeded in reaching Ardennes, and that a flank march from that place will effect a junction with Bazaine.

I believe that some of the troops lately encamped at Chalons have gone thither, but I can affirm nothing certain. 1 am assured that, the Prussian Prince Royal has given over his direct march on Paris, and that he wails for tlie Prussian army before Metz, to deliver a great battle. Other dispatches say he is at Bar le Due. Everythiug from that diiection is confused, and I believe that these reports are put in circulation by the en&nv, to make Parisians believe'that all immediate danger has been dispelled, and to calm their patriotic ardor to place the capital in a state of defense. The Fmperor is at Rheims. lie waits an opportunity to victoriously break silence.

At the ministry of foreign affairs everything is i|iiiet. There are certain mysterious 'rumors among the diplomatic corps, but. there has been no proposition for a preliminary of peace. I have read in some of the English
