Vive le Roi! lire!" The men tired steadily the fronts of the faces of the square were strewed thickly with men and horses dying and dead. The battalion collected its wounded, and, having given so severe a lesson to the enemy, pursued its retreat unmolested. ,.«•«

Mr. Voorhees' Great Speech at Chicago Below will be found all the report, the reporter of the Chicago Iribune was able to make of Mr. Voorhees' speech, before the Beta Theta Pi Society on Wednesday We sympathize with the repoiter, for he might just as well have tried to report a tornado or a thunder shower. But here is the full report as he addressed it to the city editor of that paper':
CITY EDITOR: Please to accept my resignation as a member of the local staff and place the same on file. I went as desired, to report Mr. Voorhees' oration in Crosby Music Hall. I did my level best to listen to it, and to make notes. He spoke for nearly an hour. I have reported Ralph Waldo Emerson and Geo. Francis Train, but this man is beyond my powers. I caught up with him occasionally on Zoroaster, and Moses, and the other fire-worshippers, because I have just been reading some of Max Muller's lectures on the science of religion, but he went off the track so fearfully that I couldn't follow him. I l'eally couldn't make out what he was talking about. As near as I could figure it, it was something about the elements, especially fire and the human race. I offered an intellectual looking person who sat next to me, the sum of $10 to give me an intelligible summary of the speech, and he told me that in his opinion Mr. Voorhees was proposing a conundrum. There was one man in the audience who seemed capable of comprehending the drift of the oration and he felt asleep. After it was all over, I interviewed several gentlemen, with a view of ascertaining what the lecture was aimed at, but with no satisfactory result. One man told me that the subject was "The Influence of the Material Universe upon the Human Understanding," but I didn't believe him. I satitall through —honest. The following is the nearest I can get lo the substance of the lecture: "An old horse came in to be shaved. Curse you, Where's the suds The estate was sold to male heirs, and poor Mrs. Mollie lost all her apple dumplings." I may add that tho orator was applauded when he coucluded his oracular utterances, and loudly encored. I then left.
Yours, &c.
DURING the month of August, the public debt was redueed over thirteen million dollars! Th.'s will be no consolation to Daniel, however.
Additional Local News.
FIGHT.—At about 4 o'clock this evening a fight occurred on Main street, near Seventh, between about half a dozen men, in which one was badly cut, but we could not learn the particulars. An investigation will perhaps be had to-mor-row.
PROF. GIBBS.—Prof. Jno. Gibbs, of the tonsorial art, has taken the room in the basement, corner of Fifth and Main, and has fitted it up in splendid style. He has just received from Cincinnati, a large lot of fine furniture, and he says that he will employ none but the best workmen, and we believe he will not. Being a first-class barber himself, and having gone to a great expense in furnishing his room, we are sure that he will give satisfaction.
IMPROVED.—Since the barefooted Democracy of Sullivan defeated Murray Briggs for Auditor, in that county, he has been improving his paper. As an evidence of that fact we copy the following from the last issue of his paper. It ia on the subject of making hens lay eggs: "To make hens lay, a piece of lard as large as a walnut, mixed with dough, will cause a hen to commence laying immediately after she had been broken up from setting and by giving hens fat this way they may be kept laying all winter."
DANVILLE R. R.—The first iron for the Danville Railroad arrived yesterday. President Collett, who was in the city yesterday, informs us that the work on this road will be pushed forward with vigor, and that its completion is expected at an early day. This, to the city of Terre Haute, wiil be an important event, as it will give us a direct communication with the lakes.
RETURNED.—Our friend, Mr. Charles Wing, who has been absent from the city for several weeks returned to the city yesterday. He traveled in Minnesota and Iowa, and reports that the crop of wheat in those States is excellent, and the corn exceeds anything lie has yet seen, but that the potato crop is a failure. Mr. Wing is delighted with the Western country.
BIRTHDAY.—A good many people inquired yesterday why Perry Tuttle appeared in a new plug hat of such beautiful pattern. It was his birth day—just 54 years old yesterday, and Allen, '^he hatter" seeing that Mr. T. was a little morose, brooding over the rapid flight of time, "treated" him to one of his best. It was'fit the birth day of "ye local," hence he has his old hat yet.'
BASE BALL—RIVERSIDES AND Vigos. —A match game of base ball was played this forenoon between the Riversides of Evansvile, and the Vigos of this city. Tho game was won by the R.'sby a score of 13 to 16. On the 8th inning there was a tie, which was decided by Foster.
The following is the score by innings Innings, 1, 2. 3, 4, 5, 0, 7, S, 9 Riversides 7, 1, I, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 3 1G Vigos, 3, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3 13
Eugene Caffu of the B. B. Club at Indianapolis was umpire, and O'Riely, of the Riversides, and Voorhees of the Vigos, scorers. The game was hotly contested, and we are requested to speak complimentary of the umpire, which we take pleasure in doing. We regret that the Riverside boys could not stay longer, and hope, they will come again.

LONDON, Sept. 1. Midnight.—The Prussians are reported to have been repulsed to-day in an attack on General McMahon. At Sedan, in the battle of the 30th lilt., the Prussians captured 24 guns. The battle of to-day gives a decisive victory to McMahon.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 1.—Midnight.—It is reported here that after ten hours hard fighting General McMahon utterly defeated the Prussians, capturing thirty guns and many prisoners.
General Bazaine suddenly attacked the Prussians a little north of Montmedy, and completely routed them, driving them on the Belgian frontier. The report is not yet officially confirmed from France, but itisgenerally believed that a terrible disaster has happened to the Prussian army.
PARIS, Sept. 1.—I am about to leave for Tours with a portion of the Ministers' staff. It is directed that the Department rest in Tours. We expect good news.
P. S.—The order for the removal of the Ministry has been countermanded. Good news has come from McMahon. I remain in Paris. [Signed] M. GIFFARD.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—A London dispatch says that the present complicity between England and Prussia will probably result in an open rupture. It is believed that they will not prove serious, and that England will apologise for her conduct in reply to the note in which Prussia charges her with a violation of the neutrality.
Another and far more serious battle must shortly ensue before the power of McMahon is broken. It seems certain that McMahon is incapable of sustaining a fight with the Crown Prince, and the allied army under the Prince Royal of Saxony.
A Warsaw late date represents the people enthusiastically in favor of the French throughout the whole country. They are only waiting for an opportunity to rise. Three may be a conference which will cast its influence into the scale of France, but it is not likely any power will be willing to go beyond it.
A London special to the New York Telegram says, a dispatch was received at midnight yesterday from Paris which shows that nothing publicly was known of McMahon's defeat. The French army is said to be marching toward Chalons, one hundred thousand strong. Paris papers to-day state that McMahon, in very strong force, with 600 cannon, has successfully crossed the Marne, and is making forced marches on Montmedy.
Private letters from Paris represent the city quiet, and the people confident of ultimate success.
Paris specials have the following: During the battle of Tuesday, the army of the Crown Prince of Saxony captured over 10,000 prisoners. A number of the French soldiers escaped into Belgium after the fight, but were promptly disarmed. A rumor prevails that Marshal Bazaine attacked Gen. Steinmetz Tuesday, result unknown.
During yesterday's sitting of the Corps Legislatif, a letter was received from Strasbourg,stating that the Prussians were firing on the city instead of the ramparts, with the intention of compelling them to surrender.
Deputy Keller denounced severely the conduct of the Prussians as inhuman to the last degree, and the entire Chamber rose to their feet and cheered for the inhabitants of Strasbourg.
M. Keller then moved the' arming of the people in the Department of the Upper Rhine, but Count Paliako objected.
Deputy Keller then moved the adoption of a resolution expressing a want of confidence in the people by the Ministry.
NEW YORK, September 1.—The French Courier declares it will behold with pleasure the real German unity that is, Germany free from feudal rule to which it has so long been. In a great measure it had to submit and from the military rule regulated by Prussia. To attribute to France the responsibility of the war is most audacious. Twenty times she has been provoked to go to war by despotic impostor, by violated treaties, by secret conventions in direct opposition, to public treaties

J. .. s®SS».
THERE are abundant indications to show that the Prussians have good reasons for the formation of a new army to protect them against foreign fntervention. The Russian national organs grow more decided in their opinions that the supremacy of Prussia is more to be feared than that of France, while Austrian statesmanship is, not unnaturally, much disposed to try its hand at co-operative intervention. The immense spirit and pluck of the German people will be severely tested before peace is finally proclaimed.

BROOKLYN, Sept. 1.—At about midnight last night a fire broke out in the third story of a frame tenement house, on the corner of Graham Avenue and Cochran streets, which was attended with the loss of three lives. Before the flames could be suppressed, it appears that they communicated to the adjoining building, No. 123, Graham Avenue. In the third floor of this house there resided a Mrs. Annie Grameach, her daughter Mary, aged eight years, and a younger one named Katie, one year old. After the flames had been subdued, a search was instituted among the ruins, and the charred remains of the unfortunate three were discovered. The bodies were taken charge of by the police of the Sixth Precinct and conveyed to the station house, there to await the action of Coroner Wilhite, who was promptly notified.
The house ill which the fire originated was owned by Mr. Wcngasfc and damaged to the amount of $5,000. Insured for $6,000. The building was occupied in the upper part by five poor families, but fortunately they all escaped from it. The first floor was occupied by Joseph Nelson as a lager beer saloon. He estimates his loss on stock at $1,000. The adjoining house, in which the catastrophe occurred was owned by Alexander Weesheim, and occupied by four families* Loss estimated at $5,000. Mr. Weesheim occupied the first floor as a lager beer saloon. He had an insurance of $4,000 on the building and $1,500 on the stock.

NEW YORK, September 2.—The Standard this morning contains a reply to the dastardly attack in the Brooklyn Union, and says: "Theodore Tilton, editor of the Brooklyn Union, published aa article in reference to Mr. Young and the Standard, which is not true, if such an article had been submitted to Mr. Young concerning Mr. Tilton, he certainly would not have presented it without at least taking some steps to ascertain its truth. Mr. Young was at his office yesterday, from 7 A. M., until after midnight, with the exception of an hour or two of absence.
Mr. Tilton is not so old that he does not know the effect of defamation, calumny and slander. He will be a very old man, indeed, when he finds he can afford wantonly to injure gentlemen who have always wished him well, and aid, in gratifying the malice of men who are the enemies of the profession in which we even had hoped to have found him doing valiant and worthy service.
