A FRIGHTFUL FALL.—Yesterday Miss Caroline Davis, a young lady who resides in the southeast part of the city, was attempting to draw water from a well and by some accident or other, lost her footing and was precipitated head fore most to the bottom, or to the water, depth of thirty feet. The water was about six feet deep. The young lady turned in the water, but how, she does not know herself, and rose up to the top of the water head foremost, and clinging to the side of the wall, commenced hal looing, and at last attracted attention. A gentleman descended to her, and taking a rope, tied it to her body, and she was drawn out of the well, almost uninjured. Is it not strange that she should fall so great a distance, and receive no serious injuries? There were only a few scratches about the face.

To the Editor of the Gazette THE following was clipped from the Terre Haute Journal of Monday last: "We clip the following from the Gazette of last Friday evening:

The LaFayette Courier says it will be a positive pleasure to be confined in their new county ail. From the elegance and convenience of the internal arrangements it will probably be too well crowded from the opening. The accommodations are far superior to even the best residences in that city.

A Consistent Copperhead.

The Chicago Times is severely censured for its warm advocacy of the Bonaparte side of the contest between France and Germany, and for the bitter hostility it evinces toward the Germans. But it can hardly be blamed for its course. It certainly is not liable to the charge of inconsistency or ingratitude. Throughout the long struggle between freedom and slavery, Louis Napoleon was a warm sympathizer of the pro-slavery party, and when the crisis came he espoused the side of the disunionists, giving them all the moral aid the laws of neutrality would permit. He even went so far as to urge the

British Government

to

join him re­

cognizing the independence of the Confederates. His intention was to intervene in their behalf, and to employ the army and navy of France to break up the Union, and erect the slave States into a separate government. But the British declined the alliance, chiefly on accountof the danger of a Are in the rear from Prussia and Russia, as they in all probability, would have made common cause With the North. Failing to inveigle the British into his scheme of intervention, he set on foot a flank movement, by the invasion of Mexico, from which he subsequently ingloriously retreated, leaving his Austrian tool and dupe to his fate. That he was the friend of the rebel Confederacy was notorious and undisguised. He was as good a "Copperhead" as any in the North, and felt toward the Union all the animosity and hatred exhibited by the Copperhead party, of which the Chicago Times was one of the chief organs. It would be base ingratitude, therefore, for the Times or the "Copperheads" now to turn the cold shoulder toward their ally and sympathizer in the day of his calamity and downfall. A fellow feeling makes them wondrous kind and it is but natural that the Copperheads of America should now offer their reciprocal sympathy to the Copperheads of France, who refused to permit Federal Bonds to be quoted or sold on the Bourses of Paris and France. It is also natural, and in accordance with the fitness of things that the Times and the Copperhead party should dislike the Germans of Europe for loan-, ing the Union $500,000,000 to carry on the war against their Southern Democratic allies, and extending their sympathy to the Union cause in every way short of declaring war on the rebels. Nor have the Copperheads had any particular appreciation for the Germans in this country, who are now staunch, Unionists wherever found, North or South, and who sent 200,000 stout and brave volunteers to the field to aid in crushing the rebellion and saving the Union. But there is no love lost in the premises, for the Germans despise the Copperheads aud vote almost en masse against them. So, if there is reciprocity of affection between the American Copperhead and French Csesarism, there is also reciprocity of antipathy between the Union-loving German-Americans and the pro-slavery Democracy of America.

Chicago Tribune. s,-

The Uhlans.

3

Like the Cossacks of the Don. who, in the closing wars of the first empire were the special terror of the Parisians, the near approach of the Uhlans seems to have struck consternation into the capital. The Uhlans, derived from a Tartar word signifying brave, were orignally light cavalry of Asiatic origin, introduced into Europe by colonies of Tartars who settled in Poland and Lithuania. They were mounted on light, wiry horses and armed with sabre and a lance of from six to seven feet in length, attached to a stout leather thong passed behind the back, and enabling the lance to be couched under the right arm. Streaming from the point was a strip of gaudy cloth designed to frighten the horses of the foe.

The early dress resembled that of the Turks, and the regiments, or polks, were distinguished by their red, green, yellow or blue uniforms. The Austrians and Prussians were the first to borrow this style of cavalry from the Poles, and the Uhlan regiments greatly distinguished themselves under both the Austrian and Prussian flags during the wars of the great Frederick. In 1734 Marshal Saxe equipped a polk of Uhlans, 1,000 strong, for tne French service. After his death it was, however .disbanded. Russia, Prussia and Au&tria still possess corps of Uhlans, recruited principally in Western Russia, Poland and Silesia.

CINCINNATI, August 30.—The following letter from R. M. Corwin, dated Aug. 29, will be made public to-morrow:

The communication I have had the honor to receive from you, and the many letters and telegrams which I have received from personal and political friends, requesting me to be a candidate for Congress in the Second Congressional District, together with the many calls, all haviner that me while at home, make it proper for me to say in this public way, instead of addressing individual communications to each, that I have fully considered the subject and am compelled to adhere to my original resolution not to be a candidate.

I have reached this conclusion from a conviction of duty which I owe to my family and my clients. I am not unmindful of the personal kindness and the flattering appreciation intended in this manifestation of friendship', yet believing there is no necessity for me to make personal and professional sacrifice which would follow an election, and feeling well assured that the Republicans will have no difficulty in selecting a candidate who will be successful, I cannot but hope that nay friends will be the readier to receive my declination, and appreciate the reasons for it.

Much of my business consists in suits against the Government. There is an act of Congress, passed some years ago, now in *orce, intended to prohibit members of Congress from engaging in any such suit. Having no disposition to evade that law, in event of election would be compelled to surrender all such business, and lose much labor I have already put into it, besides doing violence to the obligations I owe my clients. It is proper to add that these considerations would not influence my determination if I could realize that my acceptance was necessary for the good of the country, or the success of the principles of the Republican party.

CINCINNATI, August 30.—The German National Society to-day remitted to Europe a secqnd.installment ^amounting to $1,500.

Forty-six indictments against'property owners of this city, for renting houses for purposes of prostitution will be tried next week. Some more expected exposures are feared.

general invitation, with the un­

derstanding that their acceded delegates shall be entitled to a place in the convention.

True Flirts and False.

When a clown follows a will-o'-the-wisp to his discomfiture, we blame the foolish man, and not the misguiding light. And so, if men will be so vain and so unthinking as to imagine that every pleasant beauty adores them because she does not snub them, and designs to marry them because she vouchsafes to chat, whose fault is it when the presumptuous lover is informed with cold politeness that his position is that of a friend only The real mistake consists in supposing nothing to be possible between the sexes but love. People rush into the error that a woman must either be discourteous to a man or in love with him The possibility of her entertaining a healthy and proper friendship for fifty of the opposite sex never seems to strike the world. Now the so called flirt is eminently free from all the charges that are usually alleged against her. She is open and undisguised. Her affability ^is known and commented on iVoiVt tho:faatlliat'8Ue converges wimouv hesitation and laughs without constraint she "wears her heart upon her sleeve there is no concealment, no attempt at reservation, no affection of reserve. The really designing woman is of another cast. Her plots are darkly laid and darkly carried out. Her demeanor is staid, her style irreproachable. "She gives a side glance and looks down."

She encourages, not with the the open invitation of an assault, but with the covert affection of a retreat. She leads on quietly but without appearing to do so, and the world is kept in ignorance of her plans till her discretion is rewarded and a prize secured. So anglers catch fish— quietly, concealed, cautiously. But he who chatters on the bank, flaunts his rod and line, flutters his brilliant hues, fails if he thinks to net.

Flirting is to marriage what free trade is to commerce. By it the value of a woman is exhibited, tested, her capacities known, her temper displayed, and opportunity afforded of judging what sort of wife she may probably become. Those who assume the prudish air, and chide the young lady that does nothing else than mope or turn aside, or simper "yes" when spoken to are the protectionists who know their goods can not compete in the general market, and therefore strive by artificial means to keep the bidders from an open choice. It is good for both sexes the men know what they will marry, the women have looked around them before they decide. There is nothing more prejudicial to the happiness of married life than the ignorance which most girls have of the other sex. A boarding school girl thinks Signor Fascinati, the singing master, a god, and elopes with him. After two years she finds him a rogue. The manufacturer's daughter, who meets the Hon. Adolphus Landless at her first country ball, is struck with his attentions, and catches at his offer at once. Had she seen more of the man, she would have known how shallow his brains and how deep his debts before she linked herself to him, to endure misery for life, or to cast her affections on some future acquaintance aud to incur the peril of the Divorce Court. Solon was right when he proposed that the sexes should exercise together in the gymnasium a thorought knowledge and a free footing between young men and women is one of the greatest safeguards against ill-ad-vised choices.

It is often asserted that marriage is the one object of a woman's life, for which she lays herself out, to achieve which she makes any sacrifice. But marriage is like religion, not an act, but a condition. It is not a thing to be obtained like a victory, once for all, but to be gone through like a campaign. Hence women who do throw their whole heart into the single fact of getting married, and regard nothing further, fall into an error as fatal for this life as tne doctrine of those baptized into the church, but ignoring the life of a Christian, must be for the next. The mere husband-hunters, no doubt, exist among flirts, but we shouid rather separate them the genuine type of a flirt is one who nas not at present this object at all in view, who trusts to its coming in the fullness of time, but who makes herself agreeable for its own sake. As such, we are prepared to pronounce her not only harmless, but the proper specimen of a woman. To one whose mind is cultivated aright, no amount of freedom, which prudes call forwardness, or attempt to please, which old maids may stigmatize as man-hunting, can be in the slightest detrimental she will be above their sneers and stigmas, uninjured by misrepresentation, uu^landered by envy, because, like Godiva, "clothed o'er with chastity."—Some Journal.

BRUSSELS, August 31.—Despatches received here from Mezieres, adjacent to the Belgian frontier, state that a battle had been fought at Carigan, in the department of the Ardennes, between a flying column of the fourth German army corps of the Crown Prince of Saxony and a part of McMahon's army. The battle is said to have resulted in a victory for the French and the discomfiture of the Prussians.

BERLIN, August 31.—Confirmatory dispatches have been received here this morning from Brussels of the accounts last night, reporting an engagement yesterday, between portions of the 4th Prussian corps d'Armee and a division of McMahons command.

The husband of the Cantatrice Paulina Lucia, Baron Rahdin, who received a dangerous wound at the battle of Rezonville is dead.

A number of street locomotives have been sent from the arsenal, in this city, to assist the Prussians in putting heavy guns in position before the walls of Metz.

Tho Prussian government has engaged tne services of Wells, the Scotch Aronaut, to conduct the aerial observations of the French naval movements upon the Prussian coast. Yesterday he crossed over Ostend, Belgium, in his balloon.

CARLISHUE, August 31.—Reports from tlie besiegers investing Strasbourg, report that the siege has been continued with a redoubled force since the unfortunate occurrence which nearly terminated on the death of the truce bearer Colonel Lechkriski. The Prusssian parallels have been pushed forward quite up to the outworks of Strasbourg, and are continuing the fire without intermission.

A bomb shell from the Prussian guns is said to have fallen upon a Convent school, killing and wOunding a number of girls. The citizens of Strasburg who have succeeded in getting away from the city, detail horrible accounts of the dreadful trials to which the besieged have been reduced. They state that the people inside the walls have been forced to the very extremities of hunger by the impossibility of obtaining supplies.

The sufferings of the inhabitants of the city are consequently of the most dreadful description.. They spend their nights in their cellars in terror from the shells which are coustanily exploding in the very center of the town. Food of every description has risen to a fabulous height. Potatoes are sold at twenty francs per pound, and the inhabitants are compelled, in the absence of beef cattle, to subsist on horse flesh. General Ulrich, the General of Division, commanding Strasbourg garrison, positively declares that he will not surrender, event though the town be reduced to ashes.

The Baden troops have placed in position 160-pounders, and the fire from this heavy ordnance has been opened on the city with tremendous effect. A general conflagration is now reported to be sweeping through the city of Strasbourg.. -i 'hs
