A cargo of tea is now sent from Shang liai or Fee Chow to New York via San Francisco, in fifty days, at a cost of only ?9 25 per 100 pounds.
The Emperor's reluctance to head his army in the field is now said to be due to his unwillingness to expose at once his person and his incapacity.
The New York Standard says that Mr. Frederick Hudson^ formerly editorial manager of the New York Herald, is soon to succeed Mr. Simonton as agent of the New York Associated Press,
The neutrality of Belgium was being violated by quantities of wolves and wild boars, who were flying before the Prussians into the Ardennes.
It appears that in the post offices throughout Lorraine and Alsace the Emperor's head on the stamp is already replaced by the Prussian eagle.
The Abbe d'Beuvron, head chaplain of the army of the Rhino, died on the field of Beichshofpn at his post, surrounded by the dead and dying.
The Germans say the French were so sure of victory at the opening of the campaign that they made no arrangements to save their baggage in case of retreat, lience they wore compelled to abandon it in great quantities.
The Navy of North Germany has but one Admiral, Prince. Adalbert of Prussia, whose pay is $3,350 per year, besides $17,50 for "table money." The Vice-Admiral gets $3,200, and each of the two $8850, besides 57,950 for "table money." The difference in the two navies is much the same throughout.
Many of the pieces of artillery on the Paris fortifications are of ancient date, and are marked with two L's interlaced, surmounted by a royal crown, and bear such names as "1'Exile," "le Retour," "le Desire," probably out of compliment to Louis XVIII. Other guns of a later date have been christened "le Extravagant," "le Froluquet," "le Brouillon," etc.
Both Von Moltko and Von Steinmetz had their first military experience in the German war against the First Napoleon. They have fought both of the French Emperors—longointervallo—have seen both of them fall from power and now they see Germany, which has undergone so many transformations in their lifetime, united in political organization, and foremost among the nations in military power.
The advisability of burning the dead bodies on tho field of battle is being argued in Paris, and several suggestions have been made for turning slaughtered soldiers to some profitable account, rather than permit their remains to taint the air and breed pestilence. One savant reminds his audience that, after experiments made hi India, it was found that one deceased hero produced 200 cubic metros of excellent gas.
The German cavalry are composed of cuirrassiers, dragoons, hussars and uhlans. The last named, who seem to alarm the French so much, are lancers. They area part of the regular cavalry force, lightly armed, well mounted, and are probably to make raids in the country in advance of theGerman line of march. Therefore they naturally oxcite unusual and wide spread terror. But they are only German cavalry. Tho Germans seems to have learned from our success in making "raids" dining the last war, how easy and how effective it is to harrass, with competent cavalry, an enemy' country.
S LOOK OUT FOR .THE SCOUNDREL.—One of the officers of the Vigo Agricultural Society informed us that, on Thursday, a gentlemanly looking man, having in charge a horse and buggy, called at the ticket office at the fair grounds, and wished to know of the keeper if he could purchase three tickets and use them the next day and, on being told that he could, handed out a fen dollar bill, received the tickets and charge and immediately departed for the city. Only a few moments were necessary to determine that the ten dollar bill was a base counterfeit. An officer was sent on his track, and overhauling the rascal before he got to town, he willingly gave up the money he received from the gate keeper, and was glad to thus get off. This chap doubtless has more of the same article about his person.
Mtiss
A Card.
Editor Terre Haute Gazette, Will you allow us space in the GAZETTE for a reply to what is said in the Banner about the scandalous order of a city offi cial to have Prussian flags hauled down on Tuesday last
We would not waste space or time with the trifling person who occupies the position of City Marshal, further than to convret him of telling a falsehood—gross, wanfon and wicked—and for the meanest and most unworthy of motives. What he would say could not prejudice any one in this community, aud a single line would be wasted in reference to him. but there are others behind him whose character is entitled to a more respectful notice. ...... .....
The Terre Haute Manner (German Republican paper) in noticing the order of the Marshal to take down the German flag said "Our City Marshal gave us a call, and notified us that the flag which we had hoisted extended too far out of the window, the ordinance [of the city] permitting only three feet. Verily, this flag is a source of annoyance to these gentlemen."
In a subsequent number of the Banner, after the lies of the Marshal were ventilated in the Council, that paper corrected the impression which was created by his publication in the following language: "The Marshal never told us that Messrs. Coats or Dowling, or anybody else, had given him any instructions about the matter. The Marshal told us that the displaying of our flag, in the place and manner we did, it was a violation of the ordinance, and directed us to change it."
Then the Marshal told you what was not true, and what he would not have told you had he known his duty. The people of the city can elect Marshals biennially, but neither the City Council as a body, or the undersigned as members, can furnish them brains or understanding. The ordinances of the city do not prohibit the display of flags in any manner, whether they are three feet or fifty feet over the sidewalk. Had the Marshal ever read the ordinances—of which labor we acquit him—he would not have made himself so officious in insulting our German citizens with his impertinent "directions." For the edification of-the Banner, and other newspapers, we quote section 8 of the ordinance entitled "An ordinance in relation to public safety, comfort and convenience," passed by the Council some ten years ago:
"SEC. 8.
What we desire to say is, that this Marshal did seek to create -the impression that the undersigned gave orders to him to have the German flags and signs removed from over the sidewalks of the city. He denies that he used our name in that connection. We propose to fasten upon him what we charged upon him in the Council, and by the testimony of a creditable witness. That he saught to make the same impression on others, we have the best reason for asserting. We append the following certificate from Messrs." Foster Brothers, proprietors of the New York City Store, which will be regarded as a clincher of the proof of his falsehoods. It is as follows: g»
CERTIFICATE.
'At the request of Councilman Coats, we put into writing, as nearly as we can, our conversation with Marshal Whiteman upon last Tuesday, in reference to the taking in of our business and German flags. Mr. Whiteman said: "These flags, Mr. Foster, must come in. Coundlmen Coats and Dowling have been grumbling at me because I have not had them taken in before. The law says you must not have anything of the kind out, over the sidewalk, more than three feet from the building. I have just ordered in to within that distance all the flags above here (Tuell, Ripley & Co's and that of the German paper) and you must take yours in also. I don't like to be thus complaining to yon, but Coats and Dowling say I must order them in so you cannot blame me."
In reply we said, this is a queer town, where a man is prevented from giving any expression to his "patriotic sentiments," that we thought Messrs. Coats and Dowling were exceeding their legitimate authority—that our business flag was not hanging "over the sidewalk" but over the street, wasjuot in violation of any city ordinance—that we would remove the North German Confederation flag, but thought we^rould leave the other out. This is the substance of our conversation, so far as we can recollect. FOSTER BROS,
Pxoprietors of the New York City Store. This is all we have to say regarding this attempt to create an unkind feeling in the minds of some of our German citizens. We could not say less in reference to the person who sought to create it. We spoke in the Council in terms of denunciation of that person, and we now show that he coupled our names with his own violations of the rights of our German citizens. When he ordered their flags to be drawn in he ignorantly or wantonly assailed their rights and feelings. When he uses our names as a pretext for his own misconduct, he deserves the contempt of thoge he seeks to injure. He has ours, and we hand him over to the judgment of his neighbors.
We hope the "Banner11 will regard this as our defence against the errors of the persons who misinformed him of the attitude of "those gentlemen"—be they individual or a Councilmen.
r*
That no sign of any description
shall be erected or maintained within the city of Terre Haute which shall extend more than three feet from the building over any sidewalk therefrom, and which shall not be less than ten feet in height, nor shall any sign or sign post be erected or maintained on the outer edge of the side walk or street within said city, and every person who shall violate either provision of this section, shall, on conviction thereof, forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding ten dollars and the costs Provided, however, That each tavern, or house of entertainment, may erect and maintain a sign post and sign on the outer edge of the sidewalk for the benefit of travelers."
Could aud officer who had read that section have mistaken its import, unless he was stupidly blind or wilfully corrupt? But he had an object to accomplish, and, prompted by some sneaking politicians at his back, he blended and mixed ourj name up with the pcrfbrmonco of evil UUlawful act. The "Banner" editor says he did not nention our names to him, or give us as authoiity for the insult which he offered to the Germans of the city. We are glad that the Banner acquits us of an offense so grave and unmanly. We would not have counselled such an outrage upon any portion of our citizens, knowing that the ordinance of the city had no reference to the signals or insignia of any nation. We would have been greatly obliged to the editor, however, had he explained who he meant when said: "Verily, this flag is a source of annoyance to these gentlemeni." The Marshal must have named some one or mpre persons to him as being "annoyed" by it. As he does not mean us, perhaps the Council itself was in his eye? That ordinance is ten years old. The whole truth is, no one is to blame but the Marshal himself. He blundered in not knowing a German flag from a business sign. It is to be hoped that his folly will induce him to read the city ordinances. The only ones which he seems to understand are those relating to drunkenness, hogs and breaches of the peace.

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.l PARIS, Sept. 11.—It is reported here on good authority that the garrison of the small fortress Laon has been compelled to surrender to a Prussian column which has been encamped before its walls for several days. The fortress was blown up by the French after the Prussians had entered and occupied the town. Many lives are reported lost by the explosion, principally Prussians, but including a portion of the French garrison.
Important advices have been received through another source confirming the forenoon dispatches reporting thesurrender.of Laon and the partial destruction of the city and the Prussian command, by the explosion of the stores of ammunition within the citadel.

The city had refused to surrender to the Prussian commander, the Duke of Merklinburg Schwarih, and that General prepared to bombard the city, placing his siege train in position to shell the city, which had absolutely refused to capitulate.
A second summons to surrender was then dispatched to the French commander under cover of a port. The second summons was honored and an answer returned that in order to save the town from destruction by fire from the Prussian artillery, and to prevent the imperiling of the lives of the non-com battents, the town would be surrendered. The citadel of Laon then capitulated to the head of the Prussian column which filed in through the gate of the city and occupied the defences. The garrison then laid down their arms and the Guarde Mobile were liberated.

The French commander survived, though wounded. He surrendered to save the town.

GOOD—We are informed that the Grand Jury commenced looking after the retail liquor dealers at the commencement of the session, and as a result about $1,090 have already been paid into the County Treasury by men who were selling without license. Just before the Grand Jury commenced the present session, we published a list of the names of those who did pay license, which made it an easy matter for the Grand Jury to tell who did not pay. The result after the investigation is all over, will be an addition to the School Fund of at least $1,500, and perhaps more.
If the Grand Jury can do that much good at every session, the meetings of that body will prove very important ones. We understand that all persons who had been retailing liquor without license, after the payment of $50, were allowed to go free of prosecution for all former offenses. The order of the County Comissioners, that no application for retailing liquor will be entertained, unless accompanied by the Treasurer's receipt for the sum of $50, is a good one, all will agree.
GRAND JURY.—This body is still in session, but will probably close its labors to-morrow. No bills have been sent to the Criminal Court, but we are informed that a great deal of important business has been transacted, which will be made known in a few days.
