FHIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1870.

I-Iox. JAMES HARLAN, U. S. Senator from Iowa, was in the city yesterday, on his way to Washington. He spoke hopefully of the Republican party being able to triumph in the approaching contest of

1872, and

was of the opinion that Presi

dent Grant would be its candidate for the Presidency. The Senator has just completed a thorough canvass of the State of Iowa, and much of the success of the party there, is to be attributed to the masterly common sense way that he presented the facts to the people. But few men in the Republic are closei to the hearts of the masses than feenatoi Ixailan. ,Sprung from one of the people, he has eve" been true to their, and an ardent defender of them interest-. Possessing .-.•Teat intellectual power, his Senatorial career has been an advantage to the country and honorable to himself. Abused by hired scribblers to almost an unparalleled degree, yet the people have unbounded confidence in his integrity, and believe in his scrupulous honesty. He has been assailed with a venom characteristic of personal hatred, because, amid the perplexing duties of complicated official position, his little boy had the price of the cracker on a whip charged to the Department over which he presided, and the carriage belonging to that Department was on one or two occasions, used to convey his family across a few squares in tlie City of Washington.

Unsupported by .sufficient proof, an irresponsible Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, has, for long months sought to blacken his character •'ud.de fame a life of honest effort, much spent in battling for the rights of man, anu t,»oss of the whole people. Such "penny a ifne" writers should be taught a lesson, by the application to them of the boot leather which covers the foot of a gentleman.

We have known James Harlan for thirty years. Have known him as a poor boy entering college. Have known him when he stood at the head of his classes, the most intellectual young man in the institution. Have known him when he graduated with the tirst honors of his class. Have known him as President of a Western institution of learning. Have known him as the favorite of the Kepublican party in his adopted State. Have known him for ten years as a U. S. Senator. During all this long time that the editor of this paper lias known the Senator from Iowa, we have never known aught against his honor as a man, or his character as a Christian gentleman. How, then, can we believe the charges against his integrity published from time to time in the Cincinnati Gazette

Why, one of the proprietors of that paper has known the Senator just as long and just as well as we have, and he has forgotten what is due to early friendship, when he suffers an irresponsible Washington correspondent for his paper, to thus defame the character, and endeavor to blacken the reputation of a man whose honor and honesty with those ho have known him longest and best, have never been questioned.

Terre Haute & Danville Iload. The rails on the Terre Haute & Danville Road are now-laid to Clinton, in Vermillion county, and the work is progressing as rapidly as energy and determination can push it. Our people can hardly realize the great importance to this city, this road will be. It opens as rich a section of land as there is in this Valley, and pours its products into this city as its market. It give.1}lis a direct route to Chicago, where a market can at all times bo found for all our supplies, and when the line is connected with the Southern net work of roadsy we are then within easy reach of the great Commercial centers both East, West, North and South. Hardly any city is more favorably situated than Terre Haute. In the heart of, perhaps, the most productive Valley on the continent it is fast becoming a great railroad centre, whose diverging lines reach out in every direction, and will necessarily command an immense trade. Our merchants and business men should not shut their eyes to our surroundings. They have but to reach forth their hands and pluck the fruit. It is already within reach, and he is a sluggard who does not make an effort to command it.

PROF. Cox, the State Geologist, and Senator Collett were in the city yesterday, on their way to Sullivan county, to make a further examination of the mineral resources of that rich region of the State. The Professor ^promises soon to give Vigo county his attention, and thinks it will prove as rich in mineral wealth as perhaps any in the State. We are anxious to see a careful geological survey made of this county, and will wait impatiently until Prof. Cox and his accomplished assistant, John Collet, favor us with their official presence

From the Special Correspondence of tlie New York Tribune. SURRENDER OF -STRASBOURG.

Feeling of the Inhabitants—Scencs of tlie instruction—The Cathedral. STRASBOURG, Sept. 29.—That Strasbourg has been captured could have taken none of your readers by surprise. That it passed into the possession of the Germans through the medium of capitulation must have' appeared a matter ol course to all who have carefully followed and who have profitably read, the reports describing the progress of the siege. What I did not and eouid not well know Heretofore was the exact position which Gov, Uhrich held with regard to the city over which he was the military ruler. It was supposed that he had entirely disregarded the feelings and desire of the inhabitants, and had prolonged a resistance which they were de-

to whom the whole truth was well known, I can now state, without fear of contradiction, that Gov. Uhrich was always in perfect accord with the inhabitants, and that if in their opinion, he erred at all, it was in capitulating prematurely. Soon after the siege began in earnest lie received a deputation trom the Council formed for the defense of the city. Opinions were freely and frankly interchanged between the Governor-Commandant on the one hand and the Council on the other. The former admitted the difficulty of making a successful defense. The latter enlarged on the dangers of prolonging a hopeless resistance. The result was that a common understanding was arrived at. It was unanimously resolved by the Council to strain every nerve to prevent the city from felling into the hands of the besiegers. Gen. Uhrich, on his part, pledged himself to avert the calamity of exposing the city to the' horrors and the consequences of an assault. As a soldier who had determined to do his duty, Gen. Uhrich reserved to himself the sole right to determine when the critical moment had arrived. He would neither treat nor consent to listen to any proposition to surrender until it had become actually impossible to continue the defense. Many persons thought that the decisive moment had arrived long before Governor Uhrich had become either weary or disheartened. When the fortress was no longer tenable, and when two breaches of si, formidable kind had been made, the Governor determined to fulfill his pledge, and in conformity therewith the white flag, which, as I write, flies from the topmost gallery of the cathedral, was hoisted. Strange to say, though the inhabitants had suffered severely, and were reduced to great straits, the resolve of Gov. Uhrich not only took the majority by surprise, but upset certain schemes of the most reprehensible character, to which the majority hoped to give effect before a German soldier entered Strasbourg a victor. The explanation of this I shall give hereafter. At present I shall content myself by putting cn record an outline of the facts which preceded the unconditional capitulation of Strasbourg on the 27th of September.

At o'clock on Thursday morning I was on my way toward Strasbourg. Passing through Scliiltigheim, I saw tokens in every quarter of the severity of the lire from the fortifications. Hardly a house was untouched. A large number had been burned to the ground, and many were converted to pllea of

ruins

the explosion of shells. The direct road to r5ir«-.j'—""ur lmtl crossed by tliu pur&llcls, and it was neccae-ary iu walk along the first parallel for nearly a mile before coming to tlie pathway along which access to the city was alone possible.- The destruction of the Austerlitz railway station lying outside the city was thorough. Soon after the siege began this station was captured by the besiegers. Near this place more than one severe tight occurred when the garrison made a sortie. The lire from one of the mortar batteries was concentrated upon this station, and the numerous carriages which once stood on the line had been converted into heaps of charred wood and twisted iron. On approaching the Porte Saverne, I saw countless marks indicating the severity of the fire which the besiegers had 'directed toward this spot. Between this and the Porte des Pieries the walls have been breached in two places.

After I had passed through the gate the spectacle of destruction which I witnessed was one I shall not soon forget. On the right, as far as I could see, the whole quarter was a pile of rubbish. There were few marks of fire. Cannon shots and shells had destroyed house after house. The ruined houses were literally piles of rubbish, and unless I had known that houses had once covered the spot, I should not have supposed that the rubbish had ever taken the form of shapely dwellings. Tn front of nearly every shop ndo.v were sloping planks arranged with a view to ward off the falling shot. All the. openings made to admit air and light into the cellars were covered over with a mass of earth and straw. The deprivation of light and air, and the presence of noisome smells, which those who occupied the cellars must have had to endure, must have been most detrimental to health. One house standing on a corner was propped up lest it should topple over. A stray cannon ball had swept a large piece out of the corner, and had cut through the beam which supported the. two upper floors On leaching the Place Kleber, one of the largest and finest open spaces in Strasbourg, the signs of destruction were most striking. The handsome bnilding which filled the north-eastern side of the square, and in which was a valuable museum of ancient and modern works of art, is now represented by empty walls. Nearly every house has been pierced with shot or shell.

I lost no time in visiting all the points of interest and the Cathedral among the first. To all external appearance it is uninjured. The spire is as attractive a spectacle as ever, but it has been struck in more places than one. The cross on its summit appears to have been touched by a projectile. It leans to. one Side. Some of the ornamental work has been carried away, and in one of the side towers a portion of the stone stairway has been destroyed. The outer roof of the nave has been burned the windows have here and there been pierced with balls, but the famous clock has escaped destruction, and the Cathedral is on the whole in excellent condition. To this place the German soldier hastened as soon as they got here. They ascended the tower they explored the interior. The officers were as eager as the men not only to see the renowned Cathedral, but also to learn the truth as to the damage done it. All with whom I conversed expressed their satisfaction at the comparative unimportance of the injury inflicted. They would have lamented the destruction of the Cathedral quite tus sincerely as the Strasbourgers themselves. It is the belief of the latter that the destruction of the Cathedral was one of the designs of the besiegers. More than one German artillery officer .mmirprl me that orders were dnil/ giventS carefully avoid firing in such arway as would either damageor endanger theCathedral Other public buildings, however, have not escaped. The Perfeeture, the theater, and the church library, of-which the world renowned .library formed a part, are now represented by bare walls.

War Topics.

The lively melodramatic vein of the French character is continually breaking out in unexpected places the worries of war serve occassionally as the somber background for tableaux vivants which to us wear a semi-ludicrous air. A rather stagey incident is elaborated in Orleans—one which rivals that ever-pleas-ing story of wounded sweetheart and devoted nurse with a talent for beef-tea and tears. Read: A grateful, beautiful peasant girl of seventeen rushes wildly into the church of Sainte-Croix and passionately implores the priest instantly to bless the crown of pearls she carries. He refuses, but she begs with such touching emotion in her lovely face that he forthwith relents like a sensible man. Where upon the damsel tragically proceeds to the mairic, and entreats of the Mayor permission to mount a ladder and place the crown upon the head of the statue of Jeanne D'Arc in the square. Surprise: Firmness on the part of the pretty girl: Final consent and long ladder carefully placed agaimt the statue. Regardless of the immense crowd whichgatherstumultuously, regardless of her dangerous elevation, the young girl ascends crowns the statue. Applause and tears by the crowd.

The most skeptical do not dare to smile brave men become pale with emotion. To all interrogations she responds simply, "Jeanne D'Arc has commanded me to save France!" and off she starts for Paris by the extremely prosaic and uninspiring conveyance of a railroad carriage, leaving everybody in an ecstasy of admiration and credulity.

A War Anecdote.

During the war a regiment of the Potomac Army which wore the Zouave uniform, was commanded by a young officer of dashin appearance, who rode a horse that had been taught to curvet and prance at the touch of the spur. Early one morning, in that memorable campaign of 1864, while Sheridan's army moving eastward from its bivouac towards Harper's Ferry, this officer riding at the head of his regiment, espied Gen. Emory, the corps commander, who had dismounted with two of his staff, and was staudingat the roadside inspecting with a keen eye his command as it passed. thought that this would be a capital occasion to "show off" a little before the stern old General, so, bringing up his hand to salute, he touched his horse with the spur. The animal immediately pranced up to the General in fine style, but unfortunately overdid the thing, and had his forelegs over the head of the corps commander before the Colonel could

check him. The General jumped back in extreme irritation. "Good God, Col. C- he thundered, "isn'tthere room enough in the whole State of Virginia for you two animals and me?" The Colonel never heard the last of that meeting while the corps remained in existence.
