The Enropean War.

The repertR of a great battle between Marshal MCMAHON and the Prussians

within a day or two past are not confirm

ed. The dispatches last night announce

a great strategetical change in the Prus

sian tactics, which appear* to be intended to force an immediate battle on Mo MAHON. The situation is as follows: the

French Marshal is lying close up to the Belgian frontier facing southward, with

his right on Rethcl and his line curving

backward by Meziercs, Sedan and Montmedy and his left resting on Stenav.

The heads of the two Prussian columns

which wfre advancing" ori Paris have

suddenly deployed to%the light that

which was at Chalons by way of Snippe.s apparently striking for Vouziers, and

that which was at Troves by Ron illy

probably for St. "Di/.ier. .Strong Prussian

columns from Luneville and Joinville are

idso pushing for St. Dizier. The Prussian

troops between Stenav and \'avenues are wheeling into line in front of MCMAHON,

their right resting on Dun and line ex

tending by Grand-Pre andVonziers west to

Rethel. This disposition of the Prussian

troops indicates the intention of attempting to crush MCMAHON before a final

advance on Palis. A few days, or even

1)ours, may give intelligence of a battle

far more decisive than any yet fought.

WHAT taxes have been reduced to any considerable extent?—Jmrnnt. .Nearly all the internal revenue taxes

have been not merely '\redticed," but

totally abolished,cand the tariff has been

reduced to the utmost extent consistent

with the necessities of the government.

And remember that the Democratic mem

bers of both Houses of Congress voted

against these measures solidly and steadily from first to last. This is their dam-

ning record, and they ennuot get away

from it.

THE working people are now in a more distressed condition than ever before in the history of the government.—Journal.

There isn't a working man in this

State so deplorably ignorant as not to

recognize a huge, falsehood in that state

ment. There is no thinking man or

woman who does not know that a day's

work now will buy more food and clothing than at anv previous period of our

national history. This fact is generally

understood and freely admitted by all classes and we defy the Journal or "the

Statesmen" to attempt its refutation.

"To plant the manufacturer by the

side of the farmer Ls the true and sure

way to increase the recompense of the

husbandman's toil even though his

metals, his implements, his wares andjhia fabrics should cost hint more money under

a protective policy than under free trade,

he would nevertheless pay for them with

le«* of produce or labor, and in the oper

ation gain the large benefit of greater

diversity of interest in the community."

—Gtneia! Jackson.

ONE fact, which better than any other illustrates our wealth and progress, is the number and length ot our various rail

roads. Our railroads are 45,000 miles in length. Clreat Britain ha* not quite 11,-

1)00 miles ot railway, and France only a

little more than 5,OUO. Russia, with her

excess of 28,000,000 population over us,

lias only 0,T04 miles of railroad. Greece has only 4 miles. No wonder that the

United States leads in the vanguard of

modern advancement.

Is ORDER to give the widest possible

circulation to a most valuable campaign document we reproduce Gov. P.AIIER'S

see that thin splendid presentation of tell

ing facts is placed iathe hands of all who

TtiF. Chicago Times, the leading Pomouiatie organ of the Northwest, after in

dulging a geneial tirade against the Ger

The Latter. Mortally ounded. anI Dies Within an Hour—A TouchingDeath Sceue—Full Particulars of tlio Tragedy.

Attentive readers of our telegraphic

news will remember that, on the 2Gth inst., Mr. ED. L. HAMLIN, a well known

and highly respected citizen of Memphis,

Tennessee,*was^murdered in a duel—of

which a young lady was the innocent cause—by Mr. ED. T. FREEMAN, also a

respected citizen of Memphis. From a long account of the tragic affair, published

in the Avalanche of last Saturday, we clip

the following:

THE FUUIT.

From this point our reporter watched the preparations. Breaking clouds just then partly obscured the sun, though its rays came'down with full force upon the

spot selected for the duel. The choice ot positions was won ou behalf of Mr. treeman, but, from the character of the ground, it proved to be of no advantage,

"ARE YOU READY, GENTLEMEN?"

were"pronounced. Each answered firmly and audibly, "Yes." The distance was tifteen paces and the weapons were formidable looking duelling pistols, long and with smooth bore. After a pause the words -'Fire," "One,"—were pronounced, when two sharp, loud reports in quick succession were heard and two columns of smoke rolled upward, obscuring for a moment or two the principle actors in the tragedy.

Our reporter and his friends sprang forward. Half way between the carriage

and the ground they_ met Mr. Freeman

and his seconds moving rapidly in the direction of the. carriages. As they passed, one of the party, as if speaking to our reporter, and referring to Mr. Hamlin, remarked that he was already dead, or something to that effect. The reporter pressed forward to the ground, and found Mr. Hamlin supported in a standing positron by Drs.D. D. Saunders and Erskine.

TNE FIRST SHOT

was Mr. Freeman's. Hamlin's followed immediately. The latter felt his wound ere ho discharged his pistol. After discharging it he exclaimed, pressing liis hanif to his side, "I am hit, and then, looking toward his adversary "Freeman, I never said aught against you or injured you in all my life."

After supporting him awhile the doctors laid him gently on his back and proceeded to examine his wound. Dr. Erskine held his pulse. After a brief examination, Dr. Saunders said, "Ed, vou are badly hurt."

Said 'Mr. Hamlin, "Is it a killing wound, doctor?" "It is a serious wound, Ed," replied Dr. Saunders, "and I can give you no encouragement." "I tired too high, didn't 1, doctor? asked the dying man. "Are you in pain, Ed?" asked one ot the group. "Oh, no, 1 am not in pain," he said, "but I feel such a strange sensation here," placing his hand on his side, the wound meanwhile having been bandaged.

Strong men stood around, men who had dared death on many a battlefield. Thcv

wept like children. Some hurried words to Dr. Saunders bv the dying man. "Sny nothing to my poor mother," said Hamlin but tell my father I was born a gentleman and died a gentleman," was nil that was heard.

A pause. The wounded man's eyes beganto turn glassy. He was losing consciousness. It was plain the sands of life were running out fast.

Said Mr. Scales, his second, bending over him, "Don't you know me, Ed?" There was no response. "He will never know von again, Scales," said Dr. Saunders, very gravely.

The little group again shed tears. It was a sad scene. Above the glorious sun shone in all its splendor below all was beautiful and tranquil, the trees in the woods skirting the field, swayed lazily in the morning breeze in the distance a picturesque farm house broke the view near bv were the carriages on the ground, near the group lay one of the instruments of death in the midst of the group lav a handsome, manly form, writhing in pain, life last ebbing away. The doctors were unable to do any thing for the body, there was no priest or minister of God to administer consolation to an immortal soul.

After a little while there was a contortion oT the body, and then an exclamation something like 'NTT. MY rooi: MOTHER!'

then all was silent as the grave anain. The friends and surgeons and spectators looked on with abated breath. A little brandy was administered. It failed to lnve anv effect.

At Portsmouth the Narragarisen will soon be furnished with a new set of machinery, and boilers for the Wachusetts, Chowmutt, Minnesota and Tennessee will soon be. put in and other needed repairs done. At Philadelphia the Powhattan and Iroquois are thoroughly overhauling, while a complete set of machinery and boilers will be. placed in the Qninnebaugh at that yard.

The ^rouitciir this morning ha- the following: As attacks of McMahon and Bazaine upon the Prussians near Metz mav be delayed for a day or two, and the road to Paris left open, arrival here of Prussians must be calculated upon. Ac- great cording lo general marches, about six days will be needed, perhaps scouts will arrive sooner. It would serve no purpose to conceal this. The Ministry did its duty when it warned Kranee thai Paris has but to wait resolutely, making the most of delay. Above all we must observe order. The authorities are doing all possible to prepare Paris for a siege. Weshall be ready. We are confident of the patriotic eourage of our citizens and future of France.

The Opinione Nationale says: Paliko must have entire authority during ihe critical moment. He must meet no interference from other officials. The authorities must be an unit. The first cannon shot will cause cessation of all political differences.
