Missouri Republican Convention. The condition of the Republican party in the State of Missouri, is somewhat typical of its condition throughout the entire country, upon the issue there involved. In their

will

be seen that the point at issue

If it was not for the restraining power possessed by the more liberal minded men of the country, and of the Republican party, these extreme men would keep citizens disfranchised forever. But thaulrs to the good common sense of the American people, these violent men will be invited to back seats in the regenerated and purified Republican party, and men with "love for their fellow men," of all races and color, will take the lead.

We sincerely hope for the succoss of Gratz Brown, and the triumph of the issue he represents.

Why

From Murat llalstead's Paris Loiter.

Sheridan Could not go Witli the French Armies. There are several things he cannot do, however, and chief among them, perhaps, is the softening of the heart of the French AVar Department on the subject of the association of American journalists with the armies of France, for the purpose of procuring information for publication beyond the Atlantic. Even Phil. Sheridan, who is reported on the way to see the military operations from the French side, will not be allowed to go to the front. This fact has no doubt been published and discussed by all the newspapers. The actual reason for refusing our Lieutenant-General in camp may not however, be known. It is simply that, if Sheridan is permitted to ride with the Emperor, it Axes a precedent as to officers from neutral nations. Others could not be refused, and France does not know how soon she may find some of the neutrals in the field against her. The case of England is in point. If Sheridan were allowed to accompany the French army English officers could not be refused, anc as Euglaud is stirring and angry, and talking of circumstances under which she would take up arms, there must not be a precedent fixed that would admit English officers to French camps.

The Germans, however, were not afraid of making a "precedent," and cordially invited "Fighting Phil." to come to their headquarters, mess with their Commander-in-Chief, the King of Prussia, inspect their forces, and see for himself their style of fighting. He has the freedom of the camp, and is treated in the most friendly and cordial manner by the German army.

VTHK FACE OF CHRIST.—One of the most celebrated Italian artists was employed in painting the Last Supper of our Lord. One by one he studied the characters of the Apostles and then settled in his own mind, and painted on canvas a form and countenance in which any beholder might see character expressed. He then applied himself to the character of our Saviour. He studied theattributes of his mind and heart. He sought all ,the stores of his own inventive fancy for a combination of features and complexion which should express these attributes—the conscious powder, the wisdom, the holiness, the love, the mercy, the meekness, the patience, the whole character of the Divine Redeemer. He sought long, intensely, but in vain. Every countenance he could imagine fell evidently far below, and at last he threw down his pencil in despair, declaring that the "face of Christ could not be painted."

IT is estimated that the war costs Prussia 10,500,000 francs daily. 'g v. •'.T iStiry:it:" SV

State Convention a few

days ago there was a split the Con"ven tion dividing and making two tickets. There is no disagreement in the par y, except upon the enfrancliisemen ques tion. The Radical leaders of the party adopted the following resolution on that question: «Resolved, That we are in favor of reenfranchising those justly disfranchised for participation in the rebellion, as soon as it can be done with safety to the State and that we concur in the propriety of the Legislature submitting to the people of the State the question whether such-time has now arrived upon which question we recognize the right of any member ol the party to vote his honest convictions. "The more liberal,

and in our judgement

the more consistent portion of the convention, headed by

Carl Schurz withdrew,

and passed the following resolution in re

lation

to this matter:

"That the Republican party stand pledged to remove all disqualifications and restrictions imposed upon the late rebels in the samo measuro as the spirit of disloyally may die out, and as may be consistent

with

the safety of the loyal people: That we consider the time to have come, and wo eordiullv welcome the action of the Legislature o'f Missouri in submitting to the qualified voters of the State the amendments removing all disqualifications from the disfranchised people of Missouri, and conferring equal political rights and privilces on all classes, and we earnestly recommend them to the peoplo for their approval and adoption."

one of time. The extreme radicals "are in favor of re-enfranchising those justly disfranchised for participation in the late rebellion, as soon as it can be done with safety to the State.'" And the Liberals think that the "time has comeandthat now this act of re-enfranchising can be done with safety to the State.

Upon this issue the convention divided, and the extreme men nominated a ticket with Joseph McClurg for Governor, and the liberals one with Gratz Brown at its head.

This question then 'of re-enfrancliis-ing the disfranchised rebels comes up squarely before the voters of the State of Missouri, and there ought to be no doubt of the result. Five years have elapsed since the war ended. Certainly that is long enough for rebellious blood to cool down, and every one to desire to be a good citizen. What advantage there can be in keeping citizens of Missouri disfranchised, we are wholly unable to see. Ambitious men, for mere personal aggrandizement, may persuade themselves tlnit there is some reason or necessity for it, but we do not believe it. The disfranchised white man can never be made a better citizen by remaining disfranchised. Illiberal, and unchristian, and designing men may advocate the continuance of this restriction, but liberal men every where are opposed to it. If carefully examined, those men who at this late day favor disfranchisement, it will be found the incentive to their action, is personal ambition. Naturally contracted in their views, and controlled by their desire for place and power, they advocate any measure which can give it to them. Incapable of liberal impulses from a perverted and corrupt course of thought, they see nothing favorably, except that which advances their personal interest, and keeps in power the party to which they belong.

PROCLAMATION OF THE COUNCIL OF MIN ISTEKS—THEY ANNOUNCE THEIR REVERSES BUT PROPOSE TO FIGHT IT OUT.

PARIS, September 4.—The Council of Ministers have isued the following proe lamation to the French people:

Great misfortunes have come upon our country after three days heroic struggles sustained by the army of Marshal McMahon against 300,000 of the enemy, 40,000 men have been made prisoners. General De Wimpffen, who took command of the army in place ofMcMahon when he was badly wounded signed the capitulation. This cruel reverse will not shake our courage. Paris to-day in a complete state of defence. The military forces of the country well organized.

In a few days anew army will be under the walls of Paris, and another is forming on the banks of the Loire. Your patriotism, your union, your energy will save France. The Emperor has been made a prisoner in the struggle, and the Government, in accordance with its public powers, will take all measures required.

THE NEWS IN THE SENATE.

In the Senate yesterday, the Minister of War said: "We have learned through unofficial channels that Marshal Bazaine has failed in his recent attempt to free himself from the hostile armies which held him shut up around Metz. His efforts were so heroic that the King of Prussia could not help rendering justice to the valor of our soldiers. Marshal McMahon, after endeavoring to reach Bazaine in the direction of the north, was obliged to retire in the environs of Sedan, where, after sevenal days' fighting, with alternations of success and reverse, seems to have terminated in an nnforiunate manner for our arms. Other advices of Prussian origin are still more unfavorable, but do not appear to us as being worthy of credit in all cases, and the Government is not willing to give them the appearance of authenticity by communicating tbem to the public. Our reverses afflict us, and it is impossible for us to witness, without deep emotion, so much courage and so much devotion rendered unavoidable,- but this spectacle so far from taking away our energy aug ments and doubles it. Since the present

Cabinet came into power it has drawn from France all that her resources could yield, and they still remain so strong that with the energy and help of the na tion we may yet have the last morsel. Let us hope that God will help us and drive the enemy from our soil.

Jerome David alluded to the above by stating that the defenses ot the capital were in better condition, and according to competent judges, capable of resisting all efforts of the enemy. "Let us defend Paris," said he, "on the walls, in the streets, and if it must be, will bury ourselves under its ruins."

The Corps Legislatif statement of the situation, similar to that of the Senate, was given.

Jules Favre declared that we are unanimous for defense, until death. [Great Applause.] It is time that compliance should cease. He concluded by attacking the Imperial power, and proposed to place extraordinary power in the hands of General Trochu.

Count de Palikao and the Chambers protested. A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION ON THE FORCED

MARCH OF THE GERMANS.

The Tribune's special say: The Prussian right, under Prince Albert, of Saxony, was also marching rapidly to close on the doomed French army, on the right bank of the Meuse, which they had now crossed at Romeilly, on Tuesday, the 30th, in the direction of La Chapelle, a small village of 900 inhabitants on the road from Sedan to Rouillon, in Belgium, and the last village before crossing the frontier. Anything more splendid than the marching can not be imagined.

I saw men who were lame in both feet hobbling along in the ranks, with kind comrades, less foot-sore, carrying their needle guns, and those who were actually incapable of putting one foot before the other had pressed peasant wagons and every attainable conveyance into service, and following in the rear, to be ready for the great fight, whicn all felt sure would come off on the morrow. The Bavarians, who, it is generally believed, do not march so well as they fight, were in the centre, between us at Cherburg and Sedan, encamped around the woods of La Marfer Jamaus for the great battle. In 1841, during the war, the league which I had seen last night dash through, from the pace at which they went can not really be called marching in an ordinary sense.

I rode off about a quarter past eight in the evening for Vendresse, where the King's headquarters were, and where I hoped to find house room for man and beast, especially the latter as being far most important on the eve of battle. When within about a half mile of Vendresse, going at a steady trot, I brought my horse to a stand-still, knowing that the Prussian sentries were not to be trifled with. As I pulled up, twenty yards off, I heard the clicks of their locks as they brought their weapons to full cock, and covered me. My reply being satisfactory I passed on into Vendresse, and my mare and myself had soon forgotten the sentinels, forced marches and coming battles, one of us on the straw and the other on the floor. FROM THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE KING

OF PRUSSIA—THE MOVEMENT ON SEDAN AND THE BATTLE. The following dispatch is from a special correspondent at tl)&.headquarters of the King of Prussia, who^rites from Sedan, Thursday night, September 1st:

After their defeats on the 30th and 31st the French retreated en masse on Sedan and encamped around it. From what we learned from French prisoners, of whom, as you may imagine, there was no lack in our quarters, it seems they fully believed the road to Mezieres would always be open to them, and therefore in case of another defeat before Sedan their retreat could easily be accomplished. On Wednesday morning, from 5 to 8 o'clock I was at the Crown Prince's'head^uarters at Charleville, some 13 miles to the southwest on the main road.

At half past five I saw there was a great movement among the troops encamped all around us, and we thought at first that King William was riding through Berwucks. But soon the Thirtyseventh Regiment came pouring through the village, their band playing "Die Watch am Rhein/" as they marched along with swinging stride, and we saw at once by the men's faces that something extraordinary was going on. It was soon plain that the troops were in the lightest possible marching order. All their knapsack9 were left behind, and they were carrying nothing. One or two bonvivants had retained their camp kettles, but other things were left behind. Cartouche cases were there hanging heavily in front of the men's belts, unbalanced, as they ought to be, by knapsacks.

Soon I learned that the whole Prussian Corps, and those'lent from Prince Frederick Charles' army, and the Crown Prince ere making forced marches to the left in the direction of Dachery and Mezieres, in order to shut in MoMahon's

army in the west and to drive them against the Belgium frontier. ~At 7 o'clock on Thursday morning my servant came to wake me, saying that the King's horses were harnessing and that his Majesty would leave in half an hour for the battle field, as cannonading had already been heard near Sedan. I jumped up and seized crusts of bread, wine and cigars and crammed them into my holster, taking my breakfast on the way. Just as I got to my horse King William drove out in an open carriage with four horses forCherange, about three and a half miles south of Sedan.

Much against my will I was compelled to allow the King's staff to take precedence on the road to the scene of action, where I arrived myself soon after nine o'clock. It was impossible to ride fast as all the roads were blockaded with artillery, ammunition wagons, ambulances, etc. As I rode on to the crest of the hill, which raises sharply about seven hundred feet above the little hamlet of Cherange, nestled in the grove below, a most glorious panorama burst on my view. As General Forsyth, of the United States Army, remarked to me later in the day, "It would have been worth coming merely to see so splendid a scene without the battles." In the-love-ly valley below us, from the knoll on which I stood with the King and staff, we could see not only the whole valley of the Meuse, but also beyond the grovewood of Bois de Lap and Francheval into Belgium, and as far as the hilly forest of Numo, on the other side of the frontier.

Right at our feet lay the little town of Sedan, famous for its fortificatious by Verdun, the birth place ofTurenne, the great Marshal known also as the place where Sedan Chairs originated. As we were only about two miles and a quarter from the town, we could easily distinguish its principal edifices without the aid of field glasses. On our left was a pretty little church, its gothic spire of sandstone offering a conspicuous target for the Prussian guns, had General Moltke thought fit to bombard the town. To the right, and on the southeast of the church was a large barracks with the fortifications of the citadel behind it, and beyond this, to the southeast again, was the old chateau of Sedan, with its picturesque round turreted towers of the sixteenth century, and very useless even against four pound krupp pieces. This building, I believe, is now an arscnel. Beyond this was the citadel in the heart of Sedan, on arising hill, above the Meuse, and to the southeast, but completely commanded by hills on both sides of the river, which runs in front of the citadel. The French had flooded the low meadows in the valley before coming to the railway bridge at Bazille, in order to stop the Germans from advancing on the town in that direction. With their usual stupidity—fcr one can find no other word for it—the French had failed to mine the bridge at Bazille, and it was of immense service to the Prussians throughout the battle. The Prussians actually threw up earthworks on the iron bridge itself to protect it from the French, who more than once at tempted early in the day to storm the bridge, in the hope of breaking the Bavarian communication between the right and left banks of the Meuse this they were unable to do and although their cannon shot had almost demolished the parapet, the bridge itself never was materially damaged. On the projecting spurs of the hill, crowded by the woods of La Marfee, of which I have already spoken, the Bavarians had already posted two bat teries of six pounder rifled breech loading steel Krupp guns, which kept up a duel till the very end of the day, with Sedan, across the Meuse. Still farther to the right flank, and rather east, for our line was a circular one, a crescent at first with Sedan in the centre, like a star on a Turkish standard, was the unadulating plain above the village Bazille, terminating a mile and a half from Sedan in the woods known as Rubicourt. Midway, that is to say, in line from Bazille north, there is a ravine watered by a tiny broolt which was the sight of the most desperate struggle and most frightful slaughter of the whole battle. A stream, whose name I have forgotten if it ever had one, runs right behind the town of Sedan. From the woods of Fleigruse on the north behind the town, rises a hill dotted with a college and fruit-laden orchard, and crowned by a wood. The Lazarenue, which runs down the valley of which I have just spoken of, enters this woods and town. Several French camps, their white shelter tents standing out clear among the dark fruit trees. In these camps one could see throughout the day, huge masses of troops which were never used even in the hight of battle. They stood as idle as Fitz John Porter's at the second battle of Bull Run.

We imagined that they must have been undisciplined Gardes Mobiles, whom the French Generals dared not bring out against their enemy on the Prussian left. The French corps were separated from them by a wooded ravine and along bare hill, something like one of the hills on Long Island, and this hill on which was some of the hardest fighting of the day, was found to be one of the keys of the position of the French army, and when once its crest was coverdd with Prussians, the whole town of Sedan was completely at the mercy of the German guns, as they were not only above the town, but the town was almost within musket range of them, and still further to the left the village of Illy was set on fire early in the day by French shells and south of this the frroken railroad bridge was blown up by the French to protect ther right, was a conspicuous object, and right above the railroad bridge on the line to Mesenes was a wooded hill crowned by a new and "Most Hides chateau, as he calls it, of one Monsieur Pave. It was here the Crown Prince and his staff stood during the day, having a rather more extensive but less central view, and therefore, less desirable than ours, where stood the King, Count Bis mark, Von Roan, the War Minister: General Moltke and Generals Sheridan and Forsyth, to say nothingot your humble correspondent.

Having thus endeavored to give some faint idea of the scene of whatisjprobably the decisive battle of the war, I will now give an account of THE POSITION OF THE DIFFERENT CORPS at the commencement of the engagement, promising that all the movements were of the simplest possible nature, the object of the Prussian Generals being merely to close the crescent of the troops with which they began, into the circle, by effecting a junction between the Saxon corps on their right and the Prussian Corps on their left. This junction took place about noon near the little village of Ally, on Bazille Ravine, behind Sedan, of which I have already spoken. Once their terrible circle formed and well soldered together, it grew steady smaller and smaller until at last the fortifications of Sedan itself were entered. On the ex treme right were the Saxons and one corps d'armee with King William's guard, also a corps d'armee in reserve behind them. The Guards had suffered terribly at Gravelotte, where they met the Imperial Guard, and the King would not suffer them to be again so cruelly decimated The arrangement was very far indeed, from being pleasing to the Guards themselves, who are ever anxious to be in the frout of battle. The Guards and Saxons, then about 75,000 strong, were all day and night on the banks of the Meuse, between Rubicourt and La Chanelle, at which latter village Prince Albert of Saxony, who was in command of two corps which have been formed into a little extra army by themselves, passed the night of Thursday. The ground from Rubicourt to the Meuse was occupied by the First Bavarian Corps. The Second Bavarian Corps extended their front from near [CONCLUDED ON THIRD PAGE.]

This country is being crossed with numerous Railroads from every direction to Sioux City, Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to this city within one year. One is already In operation connecting us with Chicago and the U. P. Railroad and two more will be completed before spring, connecting us with Dubuque and McGregor, direct. Three more will be completed within a year, connecting us direct with St Paul, Minn., Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus Nebraska, on the U. P. Railroad. The Missou River givesus theMountain Trade. Trus it wil be seen that no section of country offers such unprecedented advantages for business, speculation and making a fortune, for the country is being populated, and towns and cities are being built, ana fortunes made almost beyond belief. Every man who takes a homestead now will l»ve a railroad market at his own door, And any enterprising young man with a small capital can establish himself in a permanent paying business, if he selects the right location and right branch of trade. Eighteen years residenc* in the western country, and a large portion ol the time employed as a Mercantile Agent in thU country, has made me familiar with all the branches of business and the best locations in this country.
