SPEAKING of the horror manifested by the Journal at the attendance of two or three colored teachers during the special term of the Normal School, the Indianapolis Commercial savs:

What harm is it to the State, or the white teachers either, that a few colored teachers should have seats in the same hall and derive the benefit of the same instructor? The Democratic editor intimate* that the physical aspects of the case are repulsive but he who objects to sitting in quiet study in the same room with a colored teacher, would no doubt put his nose between a colored man's thumb and forefinger and be manipulated for an half hour by him without resorting to fumigation. The reason is that he is used to being ah&ved by a colored barber, but is not used to study in a truly cosmopolitan school, and does not know but a colored man doing a sum in the rule of three smells worse than( he would if he weie ^trapping a razor.)

It is further believed the Prussians are strong enough to disregard NfcMahon's reinforcements, composed as they are of raw troop-.

SEW YORK.

THE WAR FEELIKU IN PAitlS. .NEW YORK, August25.—A competent observer who arrived from Paris on Monday describes the stale of feeling in thai city regarding the war.

I was witness of much that occurred after the defeat of MacMahon and retreat of Frossard. The French believe that, the Prussians deliberately, wantonly and faithlessly insulted France. They want to fight, and mean to, as long as physical power remains. In all the gatherings saw I never heard once a "bos Napoleon" or "L'Empereur.'' I often heard "Vive le Fmpefeur le Kmpire." A present "cest LaFrance." That the French looked upon the quarrel as a family Prussian quarrel and not a German quarrel, and were surprised at the North German Confederation making the war a German war. It is true, it is well understood in France that the war was not a Bonaparte war that the Emperor's personal wishes were for an European agreement to re-, duce the war establishment of the different powers. The French are surprised at the Prussian proclivities of .the English.

Public opinion, as the alliance with' England had always been most honest on the part of France, the necessity and usfe of it have been keenly felt by the Emperor, and its cordiality lias been to a great extent his personal work. All shades of public opinion in France regard Prussia in the words of Thiers, as "a bird of prey." This is the first war of the Empire to which Fouboug St. Germain, the old legitimatists, have sent their sons.— The Orleans Princes denied service even as volunteers. The socialists party may see in the defeat of France a means of realizing a soldarity of humanity, as possible. If emeutes occur, or conspiracies exist, the work is theirs.

The excitement in Paris on the news of defeats was largely dne to reaction from joy, excited by hoax of an immense success. But the crowds were not combative, and were very' easily dispersed.— Public'opinion had also condemned the Ollivier ministry as incapable. On its resignation, excitement in a great irteas re ceased.

ACTION FOR LIBEL.

MessFs. Inmari, of the Inmiin Meam* ship line, to which belonged the lost City Of Boston, have brought ah action in the Court of Common Pleas in England., against Benjamin George Jenkins, for an, alleged libel. This libel was in referenced to tlie losw of the City of Boston, and was' contained in a letter in which the defendant made various allegations highly injurious to the plainlifis. The defense adduced much evidence for the purpose of showing the City of Boston was.out ot trim, and that she was loaded too deeply. On the.»e points there was most direct ami, positive onSradiction between witnesses for the respective parties. The ease is not vet completed, and is creating, much interest.^

encamped in the centre and south of Alsace, as well as the large garrison of Belfort which were sent forward to Chalons by Paris and Mntkonsry. At the same time an expeditionary force concentrated at Cherbourg, in order to operate on shores of the Baltic, and nearly forty thousand troops of the line also dispatched to Chalons, where they all arrived in five days. These forces added to 15,000 regulars from Paris and the frontier towns of Belgium, made up an effective army of one hundred thousand men. Thirty five thousand of the Gardes Mobile were also added to them, under the able direction of Gen. Trochu.' Theseforces lately entirely distinct, have not been Blow to consolidate into an army homogeneous awd unused to war, and provided with'all the necessary material for a campaign. After completing the formation of this army, Gen. Trochu went to Paris to organize and create another new army, after having rallied with considerable low the la«t detachment corps beaten in the buttle of the 6th of August.

McMahon arrived at Chalons, and was placed at the head of tlie army raised by Trofehui His first care wis to secure his communication with 'Bazaine, who had been almost hemmed in at Metz by the Prussians. He succeeded, I am assured, and his advanced posts extended as far as Mezieres artd Montmedr, and cover the Arden railroad and a line •parallel with the- frontlet, all' of Which proves that conininnications with Met* are in tact Thert-tfas an arKval yesterday nf Sokootw
