Arrested Charged

with

Assault.

—A man named Sherburne was arretted by oflicer Vandever in this city yesterday, charged with assaulting and battering John Bell, an engineer of the Vandalia Ituiiroad, just as he was passing out of the door of tiie Fifth street purgatory on the evening of the Engineer's ball, by throwing a brickbat at him, which struck him on the

a I a a

manner. In default of bail he was commit ted to jail. This is the case in which manager Berry says that the injured man was not in or near his little shop. Oilicer Vandever informs us positively that Bell had just stepped out of the door of the Academy when lie was knocked down. Now "Jake" dispute "EJ'' if you wish, and note the result.

Tho abolition of this nui.sawce has been postponed plenty long enough, as the crowds who gather about these traveling humbugs interfere seriously with the passers-by, and especially with the business men in front of whose establishments they vend their nostrums.—Indiancqjolis Journal.

We think the action of the City Council of Indianapolis in regard to this matter worthy the serious consideration of our City Fathers. Our citizens remember with a shudder, the serious afflictions brought upon them by tho influx into our midst of predatory prize candy men, and venders of patent medicines, last fall, who infested our street crossings, which will be repeated again in the spring, just as soon as the weather is auspicious, unless the City Council takes the matter in hand and suppresses the impending evil.

Nilsson will not sing at Jacksonville Saturday night, as we stated yesterday on published authority.

Immediately after their concert in Cincinnati Saturday afternoon, the troupe will start for Terre Haute by special train, arriving here Sunday, instead of Saturday. Our citizens should be thankful that she is coming at all. And perhaps some people in our midst will find comfort in the oid, though truthful saying, that "misery loves company," because Jacksonville, 111., meets with as great a disappointment as we.

We have faith that Strackosch will keep his engagement with our truly disappointed people this time, but we must admit that we will begin to lose faith it" we are again disappointed. .——

According- to the latest ofTicial advices received by the Secretary of State, there were still about 120 Americans in Paris, who we determined to see the endofti.e content. Mr. Washburne, though free to go, has decided to remain, under the belief that his friendly ollices might be serviceable in soothing the rigors of war when the capita! should fall, as it was anticipated would soon happen. The Consul (Mr. Kead) has availed himself of the piivilege conceded by the department at his own discretion. There wasa weekly mail allowed to go through the Prussian lines from our legation, so that in regard to communication the restraint lias been comparatively limited. The Americans were as comfortable as might be expected.

About 9 o'clock next morning he aroused his sister, and a«ked her to send for the doctor, as lie believed he was dying. It was concluded that he was bleeding internally, but all ellorts to relieve him tiled, and on Sunday morning he died.

IVisiKifrhe.s to the Terre Ilaute Gazette.j London, Jan. 23.—The Emperor William telegraphs the Empress, under date Versailles, January 21, as follows: "Yesterday the enemy entirely withdrew into Paris. Five officers and 250 men were captured. "The number of unwounded prisoners captured at St. Q.uentiu was 9,000 besides 2,000 wounded taken in town. The total loss of the French was 15,000. The enemy withdrew to Valenciennes and Donai.- We have again occupied Cambra i. "The bombardment of Paris has been uninterrupted for the last five days. Fire has been opened on St. Denis."

Brussels, January 22.—The details which have come to hand of the defeat of General Faidlierbe shosv that the French Army.of the North suffered a terrible blow, from which it can hardly recover.

The entry of tho retreating army into the city of Cambrai was svid to be a scena of disorder. The troops were shoeless and in rags, and the army fragmentary to a great degree.

London, January 22.—A dispatch from St. Quentin says the railway station was stormed by the One Hundred and Ninetyeighth Prussian llegiment, and the town afterwards occupied. Ten thousand French troops were taken prisoners, of whom 2,000 were wounded. Six guns were among the trophies of the victorious Germans.

A dispatch from Arlon says the Prussians are rapidly occupying the approaches to Longuy. A French shell had set fire to and destroyed a farm house within the investing lines. Forty Prussians perished in the flames. It is said the lire of the garrison silenced one of the Prussian batteries.

There is little news from Paris. Advices to the 18th say the damage done by the bombardment is not extensive. Only a few persons have been killed. Large droves of oxen, intended for Paris, passed Ilheims, and are ready for the advance of Cbausey, who is receiving reinforcements. The French have established a line of cruisers between Gibralter and the English Channel. Nine vessels have been appointed to the service, six of which are iron clads.

Versaillks, January 24.—Great excitement exists throughout the German lines. The sortie Sunday has been already officially reported from headquarters. It was. the last desperate attempt of the French to break their toils. During the assault on the German entrenchments many French leaders displayed reckless bravery, urging their men desperately, but without effect. In some instances the French fought with fury, evidently heightened by strong drink, and other causes but all eflorts of the leaders were in vain. The French, after firing, turned and fled, or dropped to the ground and threw away their arms. The first dash, early in the morning, was made from the direction of the Bois do Boulogne, towards the entrenchments opposite Fort Montrerout, and was successful. ThcGermans fell back from their position,w hicb was held by the French till evening. An immense mass of Trench kept pouring in, evidently concentrating for an attack upon St. Cloud and "Versailles. There was tremendous commotion here. Lorge bodies of picked tro.ips were moved to the front, and amidst the roar of the guns of Fort Valerien, a general attack was made along the lines to the southwest. The advancing columns were met bv a stca.ty fire from Batteiy Se\

ie,

which, while adding to the loai, kept up a constant shelling of the Bois de Boulogne. On the retreat of the French lines, the German troops in several instances followed them up, attacking the former in their position at Montrerout. The whole French force withdrew upon the slopes of Valerien, under shelter of the guns of that fort.

London, Jan. 23 Advices from Paris .-tate that at a council oil Friday, Gen. Trochu announced the opinion that if hope of assistance from outide should be disappointed, it would be is duty to surrender before the Germans destroyed the public buildings, and fired toe center of the city. The civil members of the council disagreed with Gen. Trochu, and he resigned, but again accepted command after hot quaracl.

Fi-okexck, Jan.

In the Italian

Chamber of Deputies Saturday, Signor YenostQ, in reply to the interpellation

!®S|SSSS3sS#®f3IB

addressed to the Ministry, said it was impossible for Italy alone to mediate between France and Prussia. The Government, however, intended to seize the opportunity to co-operate witii the other powers in that direction. In the course of the discussion which followed, four members of the Chamber, differing in politics, expressed sympathy for France.

London, January 23.—The Observer yesterday announces that the Queen will personally open the session of Parliament.

Tne rumor that the London Conference has again been adjourned is untrue. St. Paul, Indiana, January 2-i.—

special to the Indianapolis Sentinel says: A terrible boiler explosion took place at Stevenson's Saw Mill, about four miles from this place, at about four o'clock last evening, by which Horace Stevenson, Abe Demont, James liolleford and Samuel McCarty were instantly killed.

The building was totally destroyed. Two of the bodies were blown over one hundred yards from the scene of the disaster.

The cause of the accident is unknown, but it is generally supposed that it was from the want of water.

Tho Needs of the Iiepublican Party. New York S'tm, in a recent article, gives the following sensible advice to the Republican party:

It is not striking schemes, it is not sharp-edged radical policies, that are now demanded. It is, on the contrary, wise, cautious, conservative measures, that will best comport with the tone of public sentiment. The country is wearied of its excitements, culminating in the highest of all, a bloody and intoxicating war. After insisting upon a settlementon right princi* pics, the people are content. Seeing this substantially achieved, they now, most of all, demand repose. Having had firstclass results, they do nit now want those

of a second-class, such as in comparison all agitations must necessarily be, and such as all factitious political issues, made up for the occasion, must necessarily produce.

Wherefore, we beseech the Republican party to drop their foolish leaders and their various rank schemes, and come plainly out upon the broad platform of moderate and judicious measures. Let us have a financial policy looking to the abatement of our present excessive taxation,and tending directly toward the resumption of specie payments. Let us restore our maritime interests and develop our naval capacities upon sound practical principles. Let us have the excrescences of our tariff pruned by the application of a little vigorous common sense, and rates of duty adopted which, if not perfect, will at least not be so absurd, so oppressive, or so partial as to excite derision or animosity. There arc other tilings to do in the same direction, which it would carry us yery much into detail to enumerate but those we have named are substantive, initial measures of vital consequence, which challenge universal consideration.

It is not external but internal interests —and these of vast moment—which demand the attention of our legislators. The colonial meddlers to the north of us, who seem anxious to have their knuckles rapped for their exasperating interference with our fishermen, maybe easily disposed of. The Alabama question, now removed, we hope, from the domain of a sentimental statesmanship by the appointment of a sensible envoy to England, will, we have little doubt, soon be be quieted and disposed of as an international grievance. We have no other foreign questions, unless we make them, as we have the Son Domingo question.

If any one doubts the soundness of this exposition, let him reflect upon the history of the old Democratic party. This organization came into power as a party of doctrines but these once established, it flourished upon the strength of its measures for many long years, the professed doctrines that underlay them acting as the soil, the substratum of rich resources which sustained them to the last. It isso with the Republican party. It lias imbeded its doctrines in the Constitution, and now it must stand or fall, not on the merits of these doctrines, but on the wisdom of its following measures of admiration. The doctrines afford a solid foundation, a secure holding ground and a valuable point of support but they alone are insufficient to uphold weakness, or folly, or charlatanism in the Government.

Wedding Cards.

The newest wedding envelope retains the pocket-book flap, but id a trifle smaller and squarer than its predecessor. The outside initials are also slightly diminished in size. Multifarious cards also accompany the invitation. There is, first, the bride's card, secondly the bridegrooms thirdly (if to a stranger), the card ol" the bride's mother fourthly the note paper for the "reception at the house sixthly, the card with the married names in full, and the days on which they will receive in their new home seventhly, and lastly, a card with "please present this at the door"engraved thereon,which is designed to keep uninvited guests from crowding the church, ami pickpockets from elbowing the silver. The whole might be fairly styled the "coupon" invitation, and its weight and cost must cause the heart of the card engravers to leap for joy.—From"Home and Society Scribtier's Monthly for February.

"How do you live?" asked a curious correspondent of a famished-looking wretch in Paris. The man gazed about him mysteriously, and led the way to a cellar, and pointed to some meat in a barrel. "It is half a horse," he hoaisely whispered, with the tone of one indicating the corpse of his murdered victim. "A neighboring coachman killed him, and we salted him down, and divided him." Then he opened a closet, in which sat a huge and bloated cat. "I fattening her up," he observed, "to ?at on the anniversary of my wife's death."

The United States Treasurer states that although national banks designated as depositaries are permitted under the regulations to deliver to express companies drafts on New York, Boston, and .Philadelphia, in payment of transfer orders payable in other cities, the reverse practice 'is not allowed, for the reason that the necessities of the Department usually require that the greater portion of its'funds shall be transferred to the three cities named.
