NCTTS.

WHEAT appears to have receded a lit tie in price during the past fortnight, but flour remains rather up in the figures, notwithstanding the low price of wheat See correct quotations of prices in our regular market reports. Is flour kept up by a little "strategy" on the part of mil lers It is probable this is the case.

NEVER MISSES—If any paper hits lick at Terre Haute or any of its institutions, the Journal never fails to copy it but always omits to answer a word in fense of the city, its manufacturing or other interests. That paper has the city printing, but it has no good word to say for the city. Why is this thus?

ATTENTION is directed to the advertisement of J. U. Patrick & Co. People in town and country will find this the place to buy the articles advertised and those having country produce to dispose of can find no better market in the city. Mr. Patrick is a pleasant affable gentleman, and those who trade with him once ars sure to do so again.

MARRIAGE LICENSES.—The following is the list of inarriago license for tho week ending to-day:

Chas. Clark and Zilpha Gilbert. Isaac Davis and Mollio E. Clayton. John Day and Fanny M. Haynes. Andrew Whitney and Charity Whitney. Geo. W. Garrett and Mary E. Stevens. Joseph C. H. Wheeler and Sarah Eva is. Robert A. Iirown and Mary E. Norton. Martin B. Tarvin and Mary L. Hermeifr. 'HON. JOHN LAW.—Hon. John Law, far

of the wife of Judge Patterson, of out -ty, is on a tour through tho south parL ..if the Stato to see his old friends. He is 84 years old, but there is not a man in the State, of his age, who has a more vigorous mind than has Judge Law. Hope he will pay Terre Haute a visit, as he has many friends here who will be glad to see him.

Go WAY, DAH.—One of the juvenile colored population was observed the other day poring intently over a newspaper, when a colored friend addressed him thusly "Julius, what you lookin' at dat paper for You can't read." "Go way, fellah," cried the other indignantly guess I can read. I's big enuft' for dat."

Rig enufi'," retorted the other scornfully "dat ain't nuffin. A cow's big enuff to kotcli a mice, but she can't."

COUP.T OF COMMON PLEAS.—The Court of Common Pleas is still in session, and great deal of business has been disposed of. A number of divorces have been granted, but the rule of Judge Scott to the effect that applicants appear in person, has put a little check on that class of cases. The docket was at the commencement quite large, but we are told the attorneys are geiierafiy up with their cases.

FAIK.—But few days remain until tho beginning of the County Fair, and we sincerely hope that it will be largely attended, and the industrial interests of the county well represented. Our mechanics and manufacturers should especially make a display of their work. Fairs never fail to prove quite a benefit when conducted properly, and when that interest is taken in them that there should be. The prospect is, we learn, that the coming exhibition will prove a success.

MATCH GAME.—To-morrow, at 9J o'clock a match grame of base ball will be played at the Fair grounds, between the Riversides of Evansville and the Vigos of this city. The amphitheatre has been put in good order for the accommodation of ladies and gentlemen who may wish to attend, and we hope there will be a large crowd at the grounds. The boys deserve encouragement, and as the game will be played near the ampitheater, a good view can be had by all.

PUTNAM COUNTY FAIR.—The Putnam county Fair will be held September 12th to 17th. The officers are busily engaged in perfecting the necessary arrangements and will spare no pains or labor to make every provision for tho convenience and comfort of exhibitors and visitors. They have made arrangements with cachof the railroads to carry passengers and freight at half fare rates. It will prove a success no doubt. A large premium list is offered. ...

LAND WARRANTS FOR SOLDIERS.--Sol-diers are granted extra privileges in the securing of lands under the provisions of the Homestead Act passed during the last session of Congress. Iu reply to frequent inquiries concerning the act of Cougress alluded to, the following information is furnished for the benefit of soldiers:

Pnblic act No. 1S5, passed on the last d«y of the session, contains in

in™fTner

its

last sec

tion (25) a provision on thio aub|ciir. Under tho original Homestead law. only eightv acres of the §2 50 land could be entered'as a homestead. By the amendatory act, any honorably discharged soldier, who has served not less than ninety days in the military, naval, marine, or revenue marine service during the rebellion, is entitled to enter as a homestead, one hundred and sixty acrcs of §2 50 land, upon payment of the legal fee of §10, and the usual commission on the cash value of the land, allowed as compensation to tho register and receiver. An effort was made to put the law into such a shape as to entitle the soldier to a deed after a nominal settlement of two years, but this was defeated, and the requirements as to personal residence upon and improvement and cul sivation of tho homestead selected, arc not waived or altered in any respect, they begin the fundamental conditions upon which all the provis ions of the oricinal Homestead law and '\he acts amendatory a/e based.

The Pruissaus were victorious, by entering Carefuan and driving the French before them towards the frontier of Belgium. The Prussians attacked and pursued the French. The los3 on both sides is very great.

The Prussians captured a number of pieces of artillery, including four neutrals, ilie fighting was -renewed this morning at Armegug. Both sides, and especially the Belgium troops, have strict orders to maintain neutrality at all hazards, to prevent armed conflicts upon her soil.

The Belginm troops, wiit o. in nnainn prevent armed bodies of belligerents from crossing over the neutral line, are making reconnoisances in force upon the frontier of their scouts and patrol all along the line.

under command of Marshal

McMahon was attacked by us to-day in the neighborhood of Beaumoht. They were driven back towards the Belgium frontier. The French encampment was captured and their army pursued for miles, and the pursuit was only withheld by the closing of daylight. The number of guns and prisoners taken by us has not yet been estimated, on account of the great extent of the battle field."

LONDON, August 31.—Advices from Paris states that Emperor Napoleon with Gen. McMahon and his army are atMezeres. The nucleus of the French army is represented as remaining intact.

The Prussians stormed the heights of Beaumont and drove McMahon back over the Cariquan road towards Zedon. ^LONDON, August 31—12 M.—The official correspondence between the various provincal governments has been published. It announces the intention of Prussia to retain Alsacu, Loraine and Belioes, and that the European powers will be tr-ie to their attitude of neutrality and not endeavor to prevent the consequences of the war.

NEW YORK, August 31.—ThePost con tains a dispatch from Grand Pierre in the Department of Ardennes, dated August 31, via Berlin, which says a French posi tion on the heights between Vonsensand Attegeny, which was held by a body of Turcos, was taken by storm yesterday by two squadrons of hussars, who dismount ed for the purpose. The place was very strong.

One or two officers of the royal guards last night brought in two staff officers of Gen. McMahon, just captured.

The National Gazette of to-day has the following important intellligence It is understood that neutral powers are correspondingly active. No result has yet been attained except a resolution that each power must acquaint the rest with any individual move. The evi dent purpose is still to intervene at some stage of the war, though Prussia regards the movement as having been contemplated entirely too late. Intervention has already been almost offensively announced from Vienna and Florence.

Prussia objects especially to the course of Italy. The latter has threatened com plications that seem to require an undesirable solution. Prussia is forced to fight or else submit to great sacrifices. Bather than let neutrals profit by our troubles, all tho powers of the earth shall not stop us half way in our war for self preservation. England has also broached her intention to intervene, but she never meant an armed intervention. The interest of Europe demands a cessastion of all such attempts.

WE knew it! we were sure of it! This is the hottest Summer for ninety-two years! They have been overhauling the records of Yale College. From July 10 to Aug. 15, 1870, the mean daily temperature was, at New Haven, 85 degrees and no season, at least since 1778, has shown so many consecutive hot days. Our highest temperature this Summer was (July 17) noted at 98 degrees, and this has been exceeded only four times during the period above indicated, at NewHaven, the thermometer rising to 100 degrees one day each year in 1774, 1800 and 1845. In 1798 it reached 101. People, therefore, who have broiled and blasphemed this Summer, will understand that while, morally speaking, they had no right to swear, meteorologically speaking they were quite justified. Whether they cooled themselves at all by the use of profane language, is a question for the physiologist.

THE great fires in the Canada woods are said to be the most extensive and awful conflagrations ever witnessed by those living in the Provinces. Seven miles were recently swept over near Toronto, wherein all houses, barns, and most of the live stock were cousumed.
