WAR COnRESroXDENCB.

A special correspondent of the New York World, wrfting from the German" headquarters, on the 17th. gives important news concerning movements against the army of the Loire. The Bavarians are moving from Fontainbleau, toward which point Frederick Charles is hastening by forced marches. The Duke of Mecklenburg reports the enemy as fiUv«' ing just drifted towards OJ^ateau D'tJij and Olftrtres, constantly pHMiing forward to occiipr Dreux. General B'Aurellas hazarded much in order to deliver the Capital, placing the army of the besiegers between two fires but the situation is equally critical on the other side. At this time the French are falling back on their reserves, arresting the army of Prince Frederick Charles.

A sortie from Paris, combined with an attack in the rear of Versailles, is daily expected. Parisians were yesterday attempting to erect bridges over the Seine, near Sevres, to be used in case of a sortie, but have not yet succeeded. Gen. Von Moltke peetns to think that the consequences of a sortie would be exsremely serious. Last night the personal ^luggage of the King was all packed in readiness for instant flight, and the same precautions will be taken tonight. The Duke of Mecklenburg has asked for further instructions, saving he cannot hold his positions in the face of the greater strength of the Army of the Loire. Von Moltke'says' no iroops can possibly be spared from the army aj-ound Paris, and that the Duke must fall back until he meets Frederick Charles. A junciion isexpec:ed to-night between hts advance and the Duke's rear, at Rambouillet. French troops occupying Nlontcs Sur Seine, Dreux and Verdun are not portiens of the Army of the Loire, but detachments of Bourbaki's army north. All this information admirably supplements the news received in London to-day. A Prussian dispatch announcing actions of the 1

Sth at Chateau

D'Un and Chaieau Neuf, was erroneous. Only one aci ion was fought that day at Chateau D'Un, where a severe engagement took place, reselling at first in the repulse of the French. The Pitissian cavalry were subsequently checker! by the arrival of the Twenty-second Division. This makes it clear that General D'Aurellis is siill moving with his right, his left resting on'-Orleans. Great care is taken to concert D'Aurellis's plans, but I state on high authority that he is amusing the Duke of Mecklenburg with a portion of his army, while moving the bulk of his force, not less than 150,00.0 men, northward to form a junction with Keratry coming f'om the West, and with Bourbaki conling from .the northeast. They will then move quickly on Paris with the combined aimies, which will be under command of Gambetta and D'Aurellis. General Bourbaki leaving behind him large reserves is moving forward with 65,000 perfectly armed and trained troop. Keratry has 50,000. When the** armies affect a junction the number of troops will not be le*s thaa 265,000, be* sides their reserves, lOO.wu of the army of the Loire entrenched at Orleans and holding a line extending north of Cha teau D'Un and Chartres. Part of Frederick Charles army has established communication with the Duke of Mecklenburg between Etampes and Fontainbleau. The whole force of the former will probably affect a junction oa the 23d.

The united strength of his force will then be 120,000. The strategy of D'Anrellis has drawn them considerably south, where he will confront them with an entrenched army of equal number, while with the main body of "256,000 men he moves on Versailles from the West.

Your correspondent, writing from Rome on the 15th, describes the preparations making for the reception of King Victor Emanuel, and adds that by order of the Pope every church will be closed during the King's presence in the city. The States of the Church have been placed under an interdict.

A special dispatch from St. Petersburg, of the 17th, says the anti Prussian organs here declare that aUer subduing France, Prussia will annex all German speaking people under Russian rule, and in order te make herself a maritime power, Prussia will also annex Holland. These views have been presented strongly to the Csar, who persists in declaring that King William will always remain his friend and ally.

A telegram from Tours dated to-day says, all Re iter's and German dispatches purporting to give accounts of movements of the army of the Loire, must be received with distrust, as the former is ill informed, and the latter are intended to mislead. The army of the Loire has suffered no defeat, nor even a repulse up to this time all its movements have been successfully made. General De Paladine keeps his secret well.

An" important circular which ^will greatly tend to facilitate the settlement of accounts of collectors of Internal Revenue, frill be promulgated to-morrow. Under previous regulations outgoing collectors accounts could not be settled until the taxes over which they had receipted, which remained in their hands on leaving office, should have been accounted for either by cash collections or claims for abatement. Such claims and such collec tions had first tobe made by the successor in office, and consequently tha settlement ol collectors accounts depended almost entirely upon Btich successor. This plan has greatly retarded prompt settlements, and new regulations provide in the event of outgoing collectors prodncing evidence of due diligence in attempting to collect all taxes remaining in their hands, the same will be credible to their account and charged to the new official. The circular gives particular instructions in regard to tha manner in which the transfer of office shall be made, the duty of outgoing and new cellector, supervisor, etc, etc.

A DELICATE CASE.

When Chief Justice Carter, of the United States Court of Claims decided to r# '\jn and retire from the bench, his I ion was offered by the President to f^i ..ato'r Drake, of Missouri, and it was the President's intention to make the appointment this winter. Senator Drake is now here trying to obtain fulfillment of the promise, but the President does not desire, owing to the result of the election in Missouri, to spare the Senator from Congress at this time, partly because a Democrat would be likely to succeed, and partly because Drake is one ol the warmest supporters of the administration.

POLITICAL

Senator Schurz remarked recently in conversation, that the great- question at issue in the late election in Missouri was hot the tariff, bnt the question of amnesty and suffrage. He said if there had been a difference of opinion on the socalled Revenue .Reform alone, it wonld have.been compromised in the Republican State Convention He thinks there is a great sentiment in the West in favor of reduction of the tariff, but is not sure it will be made the basis of a new party organization. In many districts the people are not in favor of protecting any industry except that in which they are interested, and the Senator intimated that such might be the case among the-iron manufacturers of Missouri, though the late election gave no intimation of how they would vote on the question of the t-arifl.,

Both boats were burned to the water's edge, but not until they had swung round against the magnificent new side wheel steamer, City of Evansville, which was also consumed.

While the City of Evansville was burning, the wharf boat of Humphrey & Lewis was discovered to be on fire, and notwithstanding the most herculean efforts,

was burned, together with all the freight on board. The City of Evansville was built last season, expressly for the trade, and was the finest and best appointed of her class on the western waters. She had most of her freight on board, including somt cotton. The other boats ware stern-wheel-ers, the Pine Bluff rather old and not very valuable. The Norman was valued at $16,000 and was insured for $13,000.

It was thought for awhile it would be impostible to save the Mallie Ragon, the Mary Miller and the Evansville, as the City of Evansville swung round and burned right at their sterns, touching the Mallie Racon most of the time.
