Downfall of Napoleon III.

“The Empire hi peace.” It* |wace i* Ok peaces of death. . . j Lew than eicht weeks have passed since Napoleon 111. declared %«r against Frueaia and boastfully said that fro led his armies against the German frontiers never to return to Faris unless victorious.— To-day he is a prisoner in the hands of the Prussian soldiery, having surrendered to King William on the third instant, together with about 100,t)00 mt*n and their equipage and munitions of war; his Ktii-

presß has been eompelled to leave ' Paris by flight; his son is an exile, ! tick in a foreign country; one-third us his gin’ll At- army killed; wound* i d or pnsoncrs;:McMalioii, one of his ablest generals, lying at the poiulof dcetß-—Wounded by a fragment of a shell —.ll the hands of his captors; another distinguished commander, Bazaino, with a large army of Hravt*, well diHciplincd and iqdvndidlv equipped men, shut up within the walls ot Metz at the mercy of a vigorous and enterprising foe; his throne overturned and a Republic erected upon its ruins. These are the prominent results of Napoleon's fnrtv-days madness. It has been but few years since bonis Napoleon Bonaparte lauded upon the shores of France from America, where he had been an exile and wanderer, and proclaimed Ins sympathy With democratic principles and his preference for a republican form of government- It was not difficult for this bold man to convince his credulous and impulsive countrymen that he had become imbued with these noble sentiments while living in the United States, and they elected him President of the llepublic of France.— Immediately after taking a solemn oath (administered to those who were elected to this high position) to advance the interests of the people, to defend and preserve the honor, glory, integrity and pnrity of the Ilopublic, he began intrigticing its overthrow. By bribes, corruption of all kinds, and the terror of the bayonet the French people were compelled to vote to extend his term of office from seven years to a life term. Dismissing from his cabinet, imprisoning and drivfroiu France the influential republicans, lie filled their vacancies with, and drew around him, a class of adventurers as unscrupulous as himself; drove from his arms the woman he bad seduced and kept as his mistress; became acquainted with, courted and married his present wife, Eugenia, who was the daughter of a Spanish noble; proclaimed the Republic at an end and an Empire established with himself its Emperor.

Proclaiming himself an apostle of Freedom, be trammeled the press, imprisoned its editors and suppressed free discussions; the adopted child and “eldest son of the t'fiurch,” he invested the Holy City with his soldiery, deserted the Tope in his deeripitude and day ol sore trial, and attempted to barter his temporal dominions to an excommunicated sovereign for the price of a few florins; professing to 'Vesjk’ct the social virtues, lie was a companion of prostitutes and debauchees and the seducer of chastity; the professed friend of the poor, he levied enormous taxes upon the helpless peasantry and feloniously appropriated the money to fill his private coffers, to manlain _an extravagant household and corrupt court, and to squander upon licentious men ana lewd women; in the sacred name of Patriotism he separated husbands from their wives, fathers from their families, children from aged and decripit j arents, and sacrificed their lives in unnecessary wars—murdered them to gratify ail insatiable lust for power—they died, not in defence of their government, not for the protection of their homes, these were not assailed, but to establish the succession of a feeble, peevish and effeminate boy to the throne of an infamous father; the pretended advocate of Peace, ho was continually quarreling with neighboring sovereigns, domineering towards weaker powers, was meddlesome and aggressive in policy, and finally plunged his people into a war the most bloody of civilized times, as eruel as unnecessary, as unnecessary as wicked, and the end of which is still in the unknown future; frequently boasting his relationship to the Great Napoleon, he resembles him in nothing but despstie selfishness, imitates only tke example of.bis vices,, and as the fitting conclusion to an infamous pubme Career, is compelled te surrender

hit sword into the hand* ot King William the son of Louisa who was tho cruelly treated wife of that boasted uncle. Such is a short outline of the public life of Louis Napoleon lloimparte, the perjurer, traitor, usurper and tyrant,.

Speakers on the 17th.

Through the kindness ot Mr. S. P. Thompson, chairman of the republican central committee we arc permitted to publish the letters of Vice Fresh lent Colfax ami Lieut. Gov. C'wmback accepting invitations to apeak in Rensselaer on Saturday week, September 17 th. In 1 reply to Mr. Thompson’* letter Mr. ! Colfax writes from South Bend un- • tier date of August 2!Hbt ‘•My Dear Sir: Vos, oil condition that yon will furnish me a fa*t team and good driyerHvho will get me to Krauccsville bv 1:40 I*.

The Fall Elections.

The following is a list of the States in which elections are held this fall, and the dates on which they occur: Maine September 12 Florida October 3 Mississippi October 3 Pennsylvania October 11 Ohio October • 11 1ndiana............ .October 11 ’ lowa October 11 West Virginia. October 27 Delaware November l Illinois November 1 Kansas November 1 Minnesota November 1 Missouri November 1 Louisiana November 1 South Carolina November 7 Massachusetts November 8 New York November 8 New Jersey November 8 Maryland. November 8 Michigan .November 8 Wisconsin ...November 8 Col. Nelson Truslcr, republican candidate for attorney general, addressed abont 800 persons—mostly voters —in tbe Court House in this place, Tuesday afternoon. It was a clear, ringing, truthful statement of facts without einbarnssment and without sycophancy. Thelanguage was chosen with reference to its plainness and the speaker did not look through the vocabulary for flattering words. It was just such a speech as every man should make who is a candidate for office or who advocates any set of principles, then there is no room for deception ■ either in the man or tho party lie represents.

• It is expected that the republican ! rally at this place on the 17th inst. | will be the large.-! gathering ever | known in the county. Mr. Colfax is known throughout the world as one of the foremost American statesmen. Mr. Cumback lias won mi reputation as one of the most logical and eloquent orators - ndiana. We see by Mr. Colfax’s appointments that Rensselaer is the only' place he will speak at in the southern part of the 11th congressional district during the campaign —the nearest point being Laporte—and for this reason everybody should come out to welcome him.

Mr. Stephen Davidson, of Rochester, one of the directors of the State board of agriculture will picase accept thanks tor a couple of complimentary tickets for the proprietors of this paper together with their wiveF, to the State Fair at Indianapolis to be held from October 3d to Bth inclusive. This fair will probably be the largest .ever held in the State as the season has been propitious and an unusnally large premium list is offered. Mr. D. Hyatt Aiken, of Cokesbury, S. (X, has our thanks for an invitation to attend the Anuual Fair for 1870, of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society, to be “held in Columbia, beginning on the 9th of November next, and continuing for four days.” We would like to attend and if sufficient inducements—say £2OO or such a matter—were held out would accept the invitation. Mr. J. H. Platt, M. C., has our thanks for valuable campaign document*.

Letter from Mr. R. B. James.

CLIMATE OK KANSAS. The climate of Kansas, like the climnte of all other sections, is va- 1 liable amino two seasons are precisely alike. On tbe whole it is in some respects similar to southern Virginia or Tennessee; but being nearer the (lull* of Mexico, anil unprotected on the southern side by nigh mountain ranges, the State is open to the access of tropical winds and is more equable, being warmer i in winter and cooler in summer ! than the same latitude east of the ! Mississippi river. It frequently I happens that cattle and horses can ! live by grazing on the open prairies 1 during winter without shelter; but j some winters cattle have died in i large number* while exposed to sci veru cold storms ot rain and sleet. It stands stock-raisers in hand, therefore, to sec that shelter and feed are regularly provided to guard against such casualties. Last winter plowing was interrupted only thirty-five days. Some years winter last* double that time. It seldom freezes in exposed places more than three inches in depth. Ice ; put ii)i from streams here is comi parativelv worthless, being thin and merely congealed without being thoroughly f rozen. Corn piant- , ed this last season in February was j ripe the first of August and is a j heavy crop. Sorghum seed that ! scatters in the fields where it grew invariably lives over and starts up the next year, like buckwheat or rye, and becomes a pest to successive crop*. Potatoes left in the ground where they have been cul- ! tivated are sure to spring up, and if cultivated again do h* well as if planted in the spring. Underground cellars never freeze. Spring opens in February'. Feachtrees and other early fruit trees and shrubs bloom in March. Last spring a late storm of snow fell alter the young fruit was formed and most of tbe peaches were chilled and destroyed by the cold. Some peach trees, however, are full and apples and cherries, where there are orchards, arc plenty. The weather of spring continues cool until July. The progress to snminer is gradual and slow. The growth of vegetation is much luoro gradual than in the abrupt and sharply marked seasons of the Northwestern and Eastern States. It is seldom that any snow falls in Kansas after the first of March and sometimes not after the middle of January. Cold winds often spring up suddenly and blow for two or three days together, generally from the northward but sometime's from the southwest. In the winter, from December to March, they arc so chilly and cuttiug, that woolen fabrics of fine material and close texture seem to afford no protection them. One is surprised that such keen penetrating winds should make so little impression upon tho thermometer. It is not uncommon that peoplo clothed in woolens atidfurs shiver in the cold of these winds while the trees and grass are green and growing and the mercury is far above the freezing point. These winds blow at intervals more or less at all times ot tho year. In later spring, summer and early autumn, they temper the heat of an almost vertical sur,. During summer, when the sun would%tlierwisc EUereh and burn vegetation, they arc bracing, delicious mid grateful. The heat of the hottest days in summer begins j to fall by three o’clock in the afternoon. Cooled by these breezes the air is balmy and refreshing, and at night persons asleep need’coverlets. In the fall there are no frosts before October—some years no frosts to kill vines, tomatoes or corn before December. Farmers with their coats off are often seen plowing in January, and indeed in every winter month. By these practical illustrations I can perhaps convey to a stranger a better idea ot the climate of Kansas than by reference to the degrees of heat and cold of particular seasons. In a word, to sum up, spring and fall on the average occupy seven months of the year, summer three and winter only two. >

WE1.1.8 i.ND WATER. Dry and wet are so closely connected with climate that I speak of thefh here, but reserve notes on the rivers of Kansas for another letter. In the northern and eastern parts of the State springs are numerous over the whole country. In the southwest they are confined to gulches and river courses. Water in great plenty can be obtained by siifking wells from twenty to forty sept. In some places water is soft, iif others of the same neighborhood it is impregnated with alkali or pyrites. The alkaline is sweetish and acrid, that is, it tastes like salerafus water and is weak or strong according,to the amount it contains. Water impregnated with pyrites tastes bitter like copperas, but in some proportions is neither disagreeable nor unwholesome. In this neighborhood a well nine feet deep, on the brow of a hill, averages six feet of water and does not run lower in the dryest time; one on lower table land dug twenty feet without signs of- water struck a vein that rises and runs over; one ten and one-half feet deep at the foot of a hill, reached water in four feet crossing . other veins to the bottom which flowed too strong for digging further, filled and runs over 1 at the top; others from seven to thirty feet, might.supply water for herds of cattle. They are inexhaustible.

What was formerly known as one of the .Ozark mountain ranges crosses this county. These mountains here are simply ranges of high rolling prairie, naturally co\-

crcd with grasses and rank weeds. Tiles® lands arc now occupied by settlers and arc being fast broken by the plow for corn and wheat.-*— During heavy rains, when the surface loam is saturated, the clay subsoil turns surjilus water off with great facility. In ages past these rapidly accumulated waters have washed deep holes in their channels that in dry seasons fcerve as wells; the water standing in them is cool and pure throughout tho year. These natural wells constitute that feature of the"country so ! much admired by strangers and 1 praised by travellers, called “holes !in tho prairie.” These natural ! well* furnish stock water wherever I they occur and are the resort and camping ground for emigrants, being usually, but not’Always, skirted with grass and grateful shade.— i This water is wholesome and so i perfectly clear that fishes may be j seen to the depth ot ten and fifteen j feet. These wells give rise to many fanciful stories, and indeed are great curiosities, as they are a perpetual blessing. Writers assert that the annual | fall of rain in -Kansas averages 37 j inches, while in western New York j it is 42 inches and distributed over j the season about as follows: skit to hi:. Kansas. ; Spring 10 ini-ties. 12 iuo.hcs. | Bummer 12 v .12 4 ‘ | Autumn 13 “ 10 “ ; Winter 7 '• (rain and snow) 3 " But I think such statements need further verification, for in single showers, tubs from 8 to 12 inches in depth, exposed in open lots have been tilled to overflowing Showers approximating these, hut perhaps not equalling them in intensity and volume, have followed for successive days together. It is true these exceptions may not disprove scientific facts, but they lay the foundation for doubt as to whether these assumptions called facts are well established* However that may finally be settled this is true: Crops l.ave not failed in Kansas lrom drought in fifteen years past and have been injured by it but twice iu the time. From this cause wheat has never failed. In other words, wheat, where tho cultivation Lss given it any chance’, has Invariably yielded well. Corn is as sure a crop in Kansas as in any other State in the Union not favored by irrigation. Of course where land is irrigated and the time and quantity of watering depends entirely upon the will of the farmer no failure can liappen.

——— HEALTH. - There is not a Swamp or marsh in all Kansas and therefore no miasm can ho chargeable to this source. Still billiouß diseases are more or less common towards the close of summer, in the new settlements. The want of fruit and fresh vegetables, the breaking up of sod and the decomposition of vegetable substance* may possibly be the cause of it, hut physicians of extensive practice say that in no season lias there been half the sickness here, even among new comers there is in older settlements of the Middle States, tlieir practice being largely confined to the grdwth of families. Families from ague districts enjoy complete immunity here, not a member suffering since their arrival. On the whole, then, Kansas affords a mild and genial climate, short winters, long springs, modified summers, and pleasant autumns. It is well watered, naturally healthful and crops almost sure. In ray next I will write of its rivers, stockraising, Ac. Yours as ever, It. It. James. Mulberry Grove, August 28, 1870.

llon. Andrew L. Osborn, Judge of the Laporte Circuit Court, and one among the ablest jurists in the West, last week rendered a decision in a case tried before him at Laporte, involving the constitutionality'of the Indiana railroad tax laiw. Judge Osborn delivered an able and exhaustive Opinion, in which he held that the law was constitutional in all its provisions, and that the taxes-levied under it were collectable, ii payment was refused, by distress and sale of property, as in all other taxes levied by county boards of commieioners. —JYew Albany Ledyer.

Eggs preserved in (bis manner, were laid down on the first of September, examined at the end of six months by three skilful persuis and pronounced to be as fresh as when first laid. Eggs laid down on the first of March conld not be told from fresh eggs at the end of seven months, and at the eud of fourteen months they were all fresh and good. Eggs kept nine weeks, and bfterwards placed under the hen, hatched as readily as fresh laid eggs. To prevent freezing, this process is unequalled. Eggs and other artielca easily frozen, were prepared and placed out of doors, on a night when a bucket of water froze nearly solid within doors, and in the morning not n thing was frozen. Preserves, drugs iu druggist stores, and all other valuable artie'es easily destroyed by frost, can be kept at small expense through the coldest weather.
