Jnfriana American. C. H. BINGHAM, Editor. HUOOKVH.I.K Frily Morainp, July 29, 1870. , The Situation in Europe. It now seems almost certain that tho ; first great battle f I lie war between i r France and IWia will be fought upon the Iour line stretching from neutral Lux j inbourg to Strasbour-r, nearly opposite Keht, on the lltden frontier. A late dispatch indicates that the first battle will be fought in the vivliiity of Strasbourg, and that it will occur at no distant day. ll the telegram are ,u oe relied upon, the line of the French forces may now be narrowed to a point siretciiiug about seventy-five milss in a direct line from Th;ooville on the north, in a southeasterly direction through Saar Liu;?, Saar-Gue-njioes, Ditchc, the Saverne.to Strasbourg, with reserves about foitj miles to the rear of the lines at Mei, Chalons Sur Marnc and Nancy; while, from the same telegrams, the Prussian troops would appear to be arrayed upon the Rhine between Cologne and Mainz or Mayence, a strongly fortified position in Hesse-Darmstadt. It would thus appear that the Freuch forces are npon the arc of a circle, their left and right wings slightly thrown back, and their left ceuler Fronting the German po-j tition. The French line, thus resting on an almost continuous chain of fortresses none, however, of the very first order is undoubtedly strong; but their oppo-! cents will have the enormous advantage of meeting the attack from any .poiut within the nrn. Mayence is alfo strengthened both by nature and art. It is connected with its suburb, Castel, by a bridge of boats 1.C00 feet long, and the labor of a few hours wou'd be sufficient to cut the sluices and submerge the approaches to the citadel. .No sciious cogjgemcut has yet been fought, as wc write. There has been some skirmishing, witli but few casualties. A blo.v may be stiuek a? any hour, however. A feature of iutcrcst in our European news is the rcpoit of the discovery ( a secret treaty, said to hrve bec: proposed in lSl'o by Franc; to P.-us;ia, and renewed recently, consenting to allov, on the part of" France, th fasio;i of all North and South German States with Prtnia, on condition that l'tu'u woilJ cede to France the Graod Duchy of Luxembourg and permit the eonq-iest of Belgium. To this request it is t-tated that Prussia returned a prompt and curt aosw-T, posi-.-ill-- . .-. ' tively declmiusr to enter into any such i negotiation.

For England has always made known its determination, made it known to every European power, to maintain the neutrality and separate existence of Belgium, as essential to the balance of power in Europe.

Latest European V?r News. The alleged treaty s-iid to have been .reposed by France to Prussia continues

United States Commerce

Upon the announcement of war in Europe, Congress was on the eve of adjourning. President Grant sent a message requesting that the session should be continued, or that a law should be immediate ly passed changing our Registration law, so that foreign built iron vessels of over 1,000 tons burthen could lawfully receive an American register and raise the Amer ican flag. It is a subject of regret that Congress failed to appreciate the advantages that would accrue to us as a marine power, and premittedthe opportunity now giveu the United States to restore its com merce to the position it held before the civil war, to Blip by, by failing to act up on the President's reccommendation. It is a remarkable fact in this, the nineteenth century, that a Congress could as- . . ' . semble and ignore such an opportunity, by permitting an old law, which under the changed condition of affairs makes shipbuilding an impossibility in our country, to stand in the way of the nation's ad vancemcnt. We trust the President will secure the advantages accruing to us as a ueutral power on the sea, by making use of every precedent, and he may rest assured that the people will sustain him. There never could be a finer opportunity than the present, for us to supply foreign nations with food and increase our trading facilities upon the land and sea.

It does not oppress, it sustains: and it often defends the right if oui brethren; that is, the rights of the bishops, and of some who are not rated with us. Let them feel that they have voted in error, and let -them remember that the Lord is not error. Let them remember that a few vears ago thev thought as we do. Have they, then, two consciences, two wills, on the tame subject? Heaven forbid! We pray, then, that God, who alone works miracles, will illumine their hearts and miuds that they may return to the bosom of their Father that is the sovereign pontiff, the unworthy vicar of Christ, and work with us against the enemies of the church. Let it so be that we may say with St. Augustine, 'Lord, yott have given us your admirable light, and now we see., May heaven bless you all."

From the Eaton (Ohio) Register.!

The Lake Shore, Louisville and South western R. R. Cubtjcriptions to this road, up to last evening, reached ?20.UU0 in this township. As to what has been done in other towuBhips we are not fully iuformed. The dt vision of this 8100.OU0 subscription that is considered equitable is 30 000 to Harrison and Twiu, 340,000 to Wasbiogton, and 530,000 for Qasper, Dixon and Israel. These amounts are small. They ought to have been raised with a little effort in one day, for this is an improvement the benefit of which every man ought to see without argument, aud go to work at once to secure.

Let no little party jealousies deter us from doing our duty. Let us not lose the road lor fear this man or that locality may be tuoTe benefited than we are. The road will be a direct and bountiful benefit, to every man in the ccuoty. Aud we are glad to say here, that while two lines have been run for Ea on, one from the present depot, and the other from the Miami street crossing, that do not intersect until they reach the neighborhood of Sugar Valley, yet every subscription has b'jca l-de unconditional as to location. This is right. It is sensible too, for the Company wiil run where they can make the cheafst road. And now to show our readers that much depends on our prompt action, that in fact the road will not wait on tardy conclusions, we append the following letters just received from New York by Mr. Foos, both written by men deeply interested in the new road, and who will have no small share in its construction: LETTER FROM MR.

While Judge Wilson was holding court at Greensburg, Judge Gooding sent a challenge to meet him iu joint discussion throughout the entire District. Judge Wilson replied that his official duties would not permit him to engage so entensively in the discussion, and that his friends had made arrangements fur hitn that could not be interfered with, but. that he could and would meet hitn at several points in the District. Thereupon the Democratic press of the District, too etigcr for the point, proclamed that Judge Wilson had declined to meet Judge Gooding. Jul.ie Wilou is ready to meet JuJgo Gooding, and before he is through with the wonderful champi ou of Democracy he will convince him that bombast, bluster and brig will not win with thinking people. Connersville Times. Every vote given for Judge Wilson is a vote in favor of high tariffs and oppressive taxation; land swindles and corrupt legislation; negro suffrage and social equality, and all other cardioal doctrines which form the stock and trade of the Radical par -y. Franklin Democrat. A vote given for Judge Wilson is no such thing. Judge Wilson is as much opposed to high tariffs, oppressive taxation, laud swindles, corr-ipt legislation, and social equality, as any man. fie is in favor of neuro suffrage aud the cardinal doctrines of the Kapublican- party, but you caa never find them fairly stated in a JJecjo- .: . 1 . ; ninlil Ko fjt.l tn CtlllV UHUCl, UCU V J ttvu.ii . . . u . th4ir cause to do eo.

Judge Wilson's Speech at Dublin, On Monday evening, was an able, clear address to the intelligent crowded house be had at Wickerabani Hall, to receive him on opening the campaign for this Congres sioi.al district. Jyit after the usual style of politicians did he offer himself alone as 9 sacrifice on the altar of his country, nor did he speak of himself, more than as a representative of the great and noble principles for which the Republican party is is now contending. The hall was crowded to almost every seat, and to the many who sat there for about, two hours, listening to the great truths embodied in the Republican creed, it would not be otherwise than interestiog. And the way that he showed up the past inconsisieucies of his opponent, J udsie Gooding, maintaining throughout a dignified, mauly bearing towurds him, and at the same time giving the keenest thrusts into his political vitals, was good, and evidenced to us that, although several years on the bench had kept Judge W . lrom aclie alr-o sr;ive bis ideas in full on the nnancial questions of the day, favoring specie payments as the only sure and certain way of extricatius the government and the country from the present financial embarrasment brought about by the results of our late terrible struggle for the life of the nation. He also showed in a conclusive way that the Republican pai ty is bringing about the sure road to specie payments, by relieving the country of debt and by thejust and economical management of public aflairs. His explanation ol t lie luamg out junt passed by Congress, by which the overnment will be saved annually twen ty-seven millions of dollars in interest, and the vast good it will be to our entire people, was forcible and clear Then he favored free trade, as opposed to all monopolies and iu the interests of the people; pxt.iuinini' the laws of trade: entering ful Iv into the subject of taxation and its in cidetital connection with every day life ! , , r ii 1. and the prosperity ol evety one.

N. Y. Post. 1 l'Xfc"11 Tho Natural Current of Trade and Travel. The Cincinnati Gazette notices tho well known fact that a line of railroad running from the Southwest to the Northeast is in the great natural channel of trade and travel in the United States, and proposes a line from Cincinnati to Nashville in harmony with this principle. The principle is a correct one, and the road would be a valuable one to Cinciu nati, but would not compete with our Lake Shore, Louisville & Southwestern line, nor damage its prospects for a n immense business. YVe pro pose to tsp the great current of continental irafiie, below the Falls of (he Ohio, at a point where the up-river freight must be broken a large part of ihe year, for1ighter draught boats, and to take it, at once, by nearly an air line to the cities of the Northeast, with the privi ege of taking advantage of nearly the entire length of Lake Erie if desired. We assert the opinion without the least fear of successful contradiction, that if the country belonged to one company, as far as the light of way is concerned, they could uot find from Wisconsin to Florida any location for a Northeast and Southwest line of railroad that would be more nearly in the center of the great wave of trade and travel than this proposed route. We believe this position is impregnable, aud we doubt. pot. that the ! rnud which up shnJl Knil.) in Ipsa than : - - " - - J two yenrs, u me peopie ao meir auiy ana

Demociatic papers in this DiMrict just now are not opposing Judue Wilson half so much as they are praising Mr. Juiian. They now call him a mao of great ability true to his party, and seem utterly horrified at the Republicans not nominating hitn. Their talk about Julian is quite different from two years ago. Their object in this is ouly to create discord amou r Republicans, for the Democracy of this district have no love for Mr. Julian. "Connersville Times. MEW ADVERTISEMENTS Railroad Election!
