PROHKCDTOR C. C. PI.KAS,

CLARK C. MclNTIRK, of gullivan.

IT IS anihor.i'.aiivelv slated lhat Major MOKK.VU has withdrawn from the candidacy for Con^re-M in the Lighth Congressional Dfrtrict.

Tin: Indianapolis Joum-.it, under its present management, shows a just appreciation of the character ami public service.-! of ScnuYLICR COLFAX a fuel which we arc pleaded io note.

Ho.v. G. S. Oaxu reports :iiat Northern Indiana, where he lias just concluded a series of appointments, '.vill roll up iu tiniial majority for the Republican ticket. The Btate Central Commit'ee have a large number of appointments for Mr. Oirrit in Southern Indiana, wliijh will take most of his time until the election.

AN intelligent cotemporary remarks that Prussia cannot lay down her arms without security for the future, though she may magnanimously forego indemnity for the past. If she see proper, however, to insist upon the latter, its great hardship is no bar to its justice. Her moral position is still uncompromised and will continue to receive .the earnest mpathy of the American people.

The New York World fays: "Mr UREELEY wrote a bulky history of the war in two large-double-columned octavo volumes of seven or eight hundred pages each, and General WOODFORD'S name is not once mentioned in the whole work On which the Evening Pod, reckoning this "not a fatal omission," remarks: "Well, General MCCLKLLAN'S, General KUKLL'S and General FIT/. .JOHN IJO :TF.P.'S were. On the whole, it does not seem to be a very important point."

WIIKN VOOKUKKS goes up and down the District, howling about the terrible burden of taxation that a I^adicaL, Congress has laid on the shoulders of the people," ask him -what he, as a Member of Congress, has done, or attempted to do, in mitigation of that burden? If lie answers truly, he will say While I was in Congress, as your Representative, I never proposed any measure whatevecfor the reduction of taxation I never Voted for any such measure when proposed and carried by others. In fact, there was but one bill that 1 had the honor to present, and that was a bill to give millions of acres of the public lands to a railroad corporation. This, fellow-citizens, is ray record, and on this I ask for a continuance of your confidence."

We ask candid Democrats if such a rccord is not a reproach to Mr. VOOR jIKES and his constituents? Was there ever a public mail whose odicial life was no utter and so confessed a failure? In the name of all the Gods at once," what has this mau done that lie should be written down a "Statesman?" What is there in his record as a Congressman to rescue il from contempt? When and where has he ever even tried to do anything except, like some querulous old crone, to grumble at all that abler and better men have done?.

To snow that Democracy is a unit today on nothing, the Philadelphia Press remarks that in one section it is a white man's liartv in another it fraternizes witn the colored peophr. Iu Pennsylvania one-half of its press is openly in favor of free trade, and the other half cowardly silent on the issue In Massachusetts and Maine, it bids for the vote of ihe temperance people in New ^lork it demands free rum. Where, as in Pennsylvania, under the beneficent results of a tariff, workingmen arc plentiful and a power, it makes a point of denouncing what it calLs "coolie immigration." Down iu the South, where the negro is the only laborer, weak and incapable of protecting himself, they invite KoorMANSfiioor to bring his eouiitrvmen Jby thousands. VI itness the following from the New Orlean- 'Tunes, .the Democratic organ of (he Southwest, of a recent date:

The same foolish opposition invariably noticeable at the introduction of all laborsaving impiovements is now ripe against Chinese immigration. No greater boon can be conferred on a country or on a people, than an increase of productiveness by the introduction of cheap labor for every door closed to an old calling it would open a dozen wider and more promising ones.* Nobody but interested politicians or shallow reasoncrs can possibly urge an objection to it.

And on this question, also, the Democratic party from Maine to Texas is not a unit.

IN THE city of New York, as in every other locality where fraud is possible, the Democracy are doing all they can to render the' ballot odious and to prepare for a monarchy. The census now being taken shows the alarming extent to which that party has corrupted the ballot, the depth to which it has abased the elective franchise. Look at the following table of population and vote cast in May, 1870:

It is needless to say ttiat only aboil,, onc-tcnth of the votes cast were Republican. Look at th Tenth Distiict of the Sixth Ward, that cast 031'votes out of a Imputation ofS70 men, women and cliil.dron! In that city about one in seven of the population usually voie, and these ten districts Should have over 0,000 people, instead of S70. "How long," inquires the Cincinnati Times, in view of the above array of damning facts,—"how long do i.i?Democracy think that their party and the Republic can live together under such astounding frauds? If there is any regard for freedom or honesty in the parly anywhere, it should either disown the partv in New York, refuse to unit it in anv National Convention or electoral college. un!e--ft it will reform i's ra oali-j ti«6."

Tin-: London Time* expresses a desire that spme of the Republican members of Congress who were distinguUhad- at the last session for their devotion to American industry may be defeated at the coming elections. Its eagerness to advance the interests of British manufacturers at the expense ot the producers of this country is too palpable to be disguised, and when it counsels fr#e trade or revenue reform, its evident motive is the re-establishment, of English industrial, and commercial ascendency in this country.—PhttajMphia Telegraph.

NASBY recently addressed a circuler to a large number of leading Democrats) asking various questions relative to the prospects of the canvass, and having received numerous replies, he publishes "average samples" thereoi. Ilere is the response he received

FROM INOEANY.

We hope to succeed in Ingeany.

THERE is a mournful pleasure in noting the fact that the brave men who gave their lives that the Nation might live are not forgotten by the Government their valor saved and perpetuated. The National Cemeteries, where repose the remains of so many of the fallen heroes of the Nation, are being well and diligently cared for. An officer charged with the duty of inspecting them has recently made the tour of those located in the Northern and Eastern States, and will now procced to the South to see that the graves of the soldiers of the Republic in that section of the country are kept in proper condition. ———<>———

AN ingenious Yrankee once proposed to incubate eegs, on a grand scale, by Glling a barrel with them, and "setting" a hen on the bunghole. The experiment was tried and resulted, at tHfc end of three weeks, in the puncture of a single shell by one tiny "bill."

In 1SG8, the Democracy of this district, with the aid of fraud, "set" DAN VOORIIEE on the Congressional bunghole, and* kept him "setting" there as steadily as his wandering habits would permit, for two long years. Pehold the result! One solitary "bill" peeped through the shell, and with due encouragement from the incubator, DAN'S scrawny, land-grab chicken came forth "for DAWES to peck at," until death put a period to its feeble existence.

We arc moved to inquire if such an experience as we have sketched can have induced DAN to select the egg that he now carries with him in his canvassing tour, as one of the leading objects ot his illustrated lessons in "Radical rascality," and the /icn-ious crimes of the "Mack Republican party

Land-Grab Subsidies.

The Indianapolis Journal conclusively prove that "the land grab and subsidy business is an imitation of Democratic example. In fact, it is generally the case, that the abuse.-, and corruption existing in the Republican party come from the Democracy. Where, when and how did the land grabbing business begin? Twenty years ago, on tha 2d day of. May, 1850, the democratic party in Congress', by a bill introduced by Stephen A. Douglas a^d carried by Democratic votes, gave 2.595,053 acrcs of the best- land in 'the world to the Illinois Central Eailroad .Comjxiny. And this was for local enterprise. The grants made to the Pacific Railroad were to encourage an enterprise which gives a highway for the world's commeree, opens avenues, for rapul. .intercommunication? between our new territories, strengthens the bonds between the Atlantic and Pacific State.s, makes the pioneer and emigrant secure in their n*w homes, and binds our popu lati'on more closely together in feeling and interest. The Democratic land grant was made to advance local interests while fhe Republican party has given land to foster enterprise of national interest. We are not defending the land grants. If we could have had our way there would have been'fewcr of them and we shall do what we can to prevent any more. Our object is to show that if this system is wrong it has been borrowed from the Democratic party."

BOSTON.

WENDELL IMIILLIRS ACCEPTS TIIE NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR. BOSTON, Sept, 12,—Wendell Phillips accepts the Labor Refbrui nomination for Governor in the iollowing letter:

I have no wish to be Governor, of Massachusetts, and flattering as is this confidence. I thoro'igly dislike fo have my name drawn into party politics, for I belong to no political party. Bat see nothing in your platform from which I -dissent, and the struggle which underlies vour movement lia-s my fullest and heartiest sympathy. Capital and labor are partners, not enemies. They stand face to face, in order to bring about a fair division of the common profit.

I am fully convinced that hitherto legislation has leaned too much, leaned mast unfairly to the side of capital. Hereafter we should be impartial. The taw should do all it can to give the masses more leisure, a more complete education,Metier opportunities and a fair share ot profits. It is a shame to our Christianity for our social system to provide, and expect that one man at 70 years of »g0 should be lord of many thousands of dollars, while hundreds of other mtn who H^ve made as good use of their talents and opportunities lean on charity for their daily bread. Of course there must be irregularities, but the best minds and hearts of tlie land should give themselves to the work of changing this gross injustice, this appalling irregularity. I feel sure that the readiest way to turn public thought and e(l'rt iuto this channel is, for the working men to organize a political parly.

No social question ever gets fearlessly treated.here-till we make politics turn on it. The real American College is the ballot box, and on questions like these a political party is the snrest and readiest, if not the only way to stir up and secure improvement, if my name will strengthen your movement you are welcome to it. Allow me to add, though working for a large vote, if w* fail, we should not be discouraged by a small one. La*t year's experience shows your strength, and the ant Ma very movement proves how quickly a correct prinoiple wins assent, if earnest men work for it. (Signed,) Yours truly, •. WEXDELL PHILLIPS,

CHICAGO.

EXASPERATION AT FOBT GABBY. CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—The St. Paul press of yesterday morning says a gentleman who has just arrived from Fort Garry informs them that fierce exasperation prevails among the French there, at the perfidious violation of pledges juade by the Canadian governmen and by Minister Thornton to Secretary "Fish, whereby the unopposed entrance of Canadian troops was secured.

This gentleman wa# told by Riel the day before the troops arrived, that all had been satisfactorily arranged, and that he was awaiting the arrival of the newly appointed Governor, Archibald, with his troops, to turn over the government to him. Until the -arrival of the troops within a few miles of Fort Garry he was confident that the arrangement would be carried out in good faith, that the troops had no other than pacific intentions which their commander and government had proposed, and Governor Archibald was to come before them and receive the government at his hands. These assurances had been given liim Jjy Bishop Tocha on behalf of Governor Archibald and the Canadian government. But at daylight on the 23d of August word was bronght to him that troops were advancing up Red River from Stale •fort, and were making prisoners of everybody passing through, their line that they were iu lighting array, capturing horses and mounting them with riflemen, and with artillery limbered and every preparation for battle.

Riol saw at once that he had been deceived, and that there was like, demonstrations in a country with no enemy in front, which had a hostile purpose,' that it was a treacherous ambuscade, a surprise under a flag of truce, and that he and his colleagues of the. provincial Government were to be victims.

Riel, Donahue, Lepine, and a few friends, at once look horses and%ilcd, Riel going to American territory.

As the troops entered Fort Garrj (hey loudly demanded of everybody where Riel was, declaring they would shoot him at sight.

Everybody was arrested wlio was pointed out" as having any connection with Riel's movement.

On the day of arrival the troops were paid off and let loose in the settlement, which they turned into a pandemonium.

Governor Archibald had not arrived. The French half-breed population were intensely excited by there events.

The elements of rebellion are far more formidable than ever, ready to burst into a flame at any moment.

There Is a story which is vouched for by good authority, that Riel and his colleagues left Fort Garry and country upon the advice of Bisljop Tocha, upon -the assurance that after Governor Archibald arrived all would be well.

THE AMERICAN MINISTER. MADRID, Sept." 13.—General Sickles, American Minister, for some weeks past has been rusticating, and occasionally visiting the Capital.

INTERVIEW WITH THE EMPEROR. Bismarck's cofficial report to King William dated Doucherv, 2nd inst., recites at length the interview held with the French Emperor at Sedan, which lasted for an hour. Napoleon sought better conditions in the matter of capitulation than had been at first offered by the Germans. On this, a military point, Bismarck refnsed discussion, but announced to the Emperor that he was quite willing and ready to discuss questions looking to peace. The Emperor replied that as he was a prisoner, that was impossible, but referred the Court to the actual Government at Paris. Bismarck said the situation at Paris offered no entering point for such overtures.. The Emperor tuen proposed that the French army be allowed to pass the Belgian frontier, and there surrender their arms. This was also refused.

The Emperor stated further that he deplored the horrors of war, but he had yielded wholly to public opinion in de claring war.

Bis mark accompanied the Emperor to Belleviur, where General. Wimpffeq was at that time negotiating with King William, relative to capitulation.

The Emperor was not allowed to see the King until negotiations for surrent^r were concluded. When these were finally announced they destroyed the Emperor's hope for better terms. The French officers were then dismissed on parole.

NEW YORK.

EUROPEAN NEWS. 'TFCTT,.

Spccial to tho N. X. World NEW YORK, SepL 12.. OSTEND Sept. 11.—The Morgan Zeitung, of Hesse Cassel, gives the particulars of the arrival of Emperor Napoleon at Cassel. He was accompanied by Generals Felix Doway and Lebouef,-as 'prisoners on parole. The Prussian civil and military authorities of Hesse, in full uni•form, received him at the station, with a company of Prussian infantry, as a guard of honor, and a squad of Hussars, keep ing back the people. The Emperor, who was received with an Imperial sa'lute, wore the uniform of Lieut.-Qeneral, but no sword. His breast was covered with orders, and he wore an undress scarlet cape. He is quite corpulent and looked very grey. The Empress Eugenie is still at'the Marine Hotel in Hastings, attended by Ferdinand de Lesseps, Madame de

Lesseps, and Madame Thierry. All the ladies of the Court who camo with Her Majesty to Belgium, remained in that country.

The latest intelligence from Prussian headquarters is, that in reply to a proposition made through the Austrian Legation, King William declares that he will listen to propositions of peace only in the Ttjilleries, and from the Imperial Gov erhment ofFrance.

The World's Paris correspondent telegraphs: This city is beginning to be isoated. We have had no mail to-day from London, and no dispatches have come throogh by telegraph, except for the newspapers. The Government exercises a super visional office in the Place de la Bourse, from which alone dispatches are allowed to be sent. It is conducted fairly, but is positive. As part of tbe city is perfectly tranquil, though not at all gay, no fears of niob violence are entertained by anyone, notwithstanding rumors to that effect, which seem to be spread abroad. I repeat that I have never seen public order more complete than since the proclamation"of the Republic. Henri Rochefort, who was much feared, is in office, and manifests most conversative temper. He is of great use in controlling extreme radicals. The Legations of Russia and Austria, are busily at woak in the interest of peace, and it is believed they would already have secured an armistice, had not the English Government blocked the way by its hesitation and half hostile attitude. The English Government is believed to have a secret understanding with the King of Prussia, adverse to the wishes of Count Bismarck, in order to sefcure, if possible, suppression of the Republic. I have it on high authority that Count Bismarck desifts neith-. er Alsace nor Lorraine, and is anxious to secure peace as soon as possible, but King William is bitterly opposed to any negotiations with Republican authorities, and insistH upon advancing to Paris, to crush the revolution before the fever can extend to Germany. .... Special ta tho Evening Tclegrnin,

LONDON, Sept. 12.—The siege of Paris may now be said to have fairly commenced.

Friendly feelings toward the French Republic is greatly strengthened by America's recognition.

Prussian forces in detachments form a semi-circle around Paris at a distance of about twenty-five miles. In this position the army has been halted at the firm request o£the Russian minister iu order that King William and Count Bismarck may consider the proposition for armistice emanatit-ti'Troui Rriissia and Austria.

Paris rem ij tranquil, and the ihhabitonts are Orm the belief lhat the "city can be defended. .»

The ioad.s leading to t^e city are all closed and no more provisions are going in. What the city now contains must prove sufficient for the emergency.

The Prussians will, in a few weeks, march triumphantly through the streets.The announcement of the declaration of the French Republic has wrought a great change in public sentihient here in regard to demands for compensation.

AMERICAN MEDIATION.

Very great excitement still prevails at Paris and other continental capitals, regarding A-merica'n mediation. \r

REPUBLICAN DEMONSTRATION. MADRID, Sept. 12.—Demonstrations of sympathy with the French Republic continue in northern provinces. Republicans in this city have signed an address demanding convocation of the Cojtes.

The movement in France towards free institutions, obtains ttie sympathy of the powerful Republican .party in Prussia, who see ah influence wiH be used to modify claims hitherto asserted for satisfaction and indemnity.

A proposition comprising assurances of the destruction of all fortifications on the frontier line, with a guarantee against, their being.rebuilt, destruction of fortifications of Paris and war expenses, would, without any cession of territory, be accepted by this party as quite sufficient to satisfy German honor, and provide for the maintenance of the future peace of Europe."

Advices received in tills city this morning, dated Omieto, Sept. 11th, state that the population of the Province of Witerboehove originated an insurrectionary movement of formidable character.

Shouts of "longlive the King of Italy" are heard on all sides. The male population are armed, and are formed into guerrillaf bands for the purpose of harassing Papal Zouaves.

These latter are entrenched at Viterboe, Montfiascone and Valertano. Gens d'Amies-have disarmed the iosurrectionists, ^and the King of Italy has guaranteed maintenance of order.

Advices received from Florence, dated 11th of.September, state the entire country is deeply agitated.

Italian flags are everywhere displayed, and placards upon which is inscribed the motto Long live Victor Emanuel," arevisible in cafes and on the corners of every staeet.

The. Legislative is largely Republican, though the Democrats may have gained a few members of the House, and possibly one or two Senators^

The people seem to have been voting for United States Senator, the contest being between Governor Chamberlin and the Hon. Lot M. Morrill: How that question stands is quite impossible to say at present, though our Portland correspondent says that Morrill has the Senate.

SPECIAL TO TnE TIMES.

PARIS, Sept. 13—There i§ a strong feeling here that the mission of Thiers to the three courts, will be productive of fruitful results. The idea has been started in Berlin of converting Alsace and Lorraine, into an independent Republic, and it is regarded witn favor in London. It is looked on as a condition to which both belligerents can agree. A letter from Dr. Marion Sims, who is doing hospital service with the French a?my, states American ambulances have been more useful than others. Special to the llcrald.]

LONDON, Sept. 13.—Thiers looks careworn and ill, and shows disinclination to conversation.

A few words were interchanged withan old acquaintance at Dover, who inquired whetHer he came as an accredited envoy.jaf the French Republic. He intimate4 th^t he knew no Republic, only the government for the defence of Paris.

There is good authority for believeing definite propositions for peace will be offered in behalf of the Provisional Government of Paris, and that Thiers is authorized to lay them before the British Government, whose intervention is solicited. it

The terms areas follows:. ., .. Payment to Prussia of the war expenses destruction of all forts in Alsace and Lorraine temporary occupation of Metz •and Strasbourg by German troops, until the election of an authorized government for France, and ratification of treaty by proper authorities.

THE GOVERNMENT DISPATCH TO BEBLIN. WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—The report that comes frpm London that three energetic dispatches have passed through that city for Berlin, from this Government, urging an armistice, is an exaggeration of the action of this Government, which has thus far been entirely confined to the dignified, firm.and very courteous dispatch agreed upon on Friday last, when the President was here, and forwarded at once to Mr. Bancroft, at Berlin, by Secretary Fish. This Government will only assume the position of mediator upon the •joint invitation of the respective powers, and not in conjunction with the nentral powers of Europe, and lhat mediation will doubtless be confined to the exercise of Us good offices and not extended to the responsibility of making a new map of Eu-

^MUSCULAR MAIDENS,

Description of the Victorious.Jij'inpU Sgk",

and Her Defeated Sisters.

The New York Herald gives an interesting account of the Empire Rowing Club Regatta, held last Tuesday, on Harlem river. The sensation of the day was the third, or "Ladies' Race," which .is thus described:

Hithorto the spectators had been interested, but that was all. Now they brightened into almost frantic enthusiasm, and as the first adventurous maiden pullM gracefully from the shore to the judges' boat she was hailed with rapturous vo'leys of cheers caught up and repeated again and again. This was Miss Amelia Sheelian, who subsequently proved the victor. She was a handsome, well-developed blonde, with firm, resolute features, that said as pl&in as possible that she fully meant ttfwin the gold watch and the first place of honor. Sh-.r was dressed in a singularly appropriate costume—a white flannel jacket, trimmed with blue, a" pair of red bloomer inexpressibles, and a jaunty little whitp frilled cap, relieved here and there with a slip of blue ribbon. Her hair, extremely luxurant, was bound up in couple of simple -plaits, fastened together at their extremities by a few red and white and blue ribbons. To complete the description of this athletic 'nymph, it is necessary to add that she weighsl35 pounds, is in first class muscular condition, and has been put through a rigidly careful course of- training by her broker. Gradually, one by one, with the proverbial procrastination, but not quite with the traditional timidity of the gentler sex, the four other contesting maidens toojf their positions. Mtes Kyle, ail extfcmely pretty young lady, came up'sccond in response to the loud trumpet-call of Alderman Roberts. She wore a light colored dress, with a red flannel jacket, fitting closely to her shape, a tiny co-quettish-looking blue hat and a lflige chignon. Miss Roberts, the third to put in an !f^pearance,'was younger and slighter than at least three out of her four antagonists. Her dress was extremely simple, but in the best of taste. Miss Walton and Miss Annie Williams, both of whom rowed up to the starting point as though they simply and only intended business, were both attired in dark dresses, with simple straw hats. The boats used by the fair contestants were as light as was consistent with safety, but the course, two miles in length, was a pretty severe task for the delicate frames of "lovely women."

Some little confusion took place at the outset, but the ladies having been at last got pretty well in a line the gun gave them their start. It was at once evident who was to be the winning maiden, as Miss Amelia Slreehan, sweeping along with firm, regular, steady and strong strokes, at once left her sister competitors behind. Iler style of rowing was indeed altogether different from thejerky, spasmodic, indecisive pulling of^the others. She bent forward with the precision and resolution of a man, and then brought her whole body well back, keeping the blade of' her oar steadily pressing the water just below the surface, and raising it into the air with a graceful feather. In short, her rowing was perfection. It combined strength with ease, and precision with grace. The other ladies showed a fail familiarity with their oars, but failed rather in nag ing and turning their boats, and ro-. ed in a decidedly feminine style. The whole progress of the race was watched with the most absorbing in-' terest by the spectators,' and it was with extreme difficulty that the course was" kept clear. The order in which the ladies ultimately passed the goal was as follows: Miss Shechan, half a dozen boat lengths ahead Miss Walton, Miss Roberts, Miss Kyle and Miss Williams-. Each lady as she came in waA greeted with hearty applause. They all seemed to he but slightly exhausted by the severe ex ercisc they had taken.

———<>———

V'i" The War.Many journal^ ace condemning King WILLIAM for pursuing, his march upon Paris. They say that France is now a Republic, and because a change in the form of government has been proclaimed, the German armies should countermarch in the midst of their victorious campaign. Wars-accepted in self-defense, as this was by the germans, are not .usually terminated until the attacking party is driven to sue for peace. If, upon the surrender, of the Emperor, the new Republic had said, in the name of the French people, "This war was commenced by the Emperor and not by us, and we have no dispositiop to pursue it. further," we believe that King WILLIAM, true to the words of manifesto, would have paused until terms of peace could have been proposed and settled. But no such desire is expressed by the leaders of the nciv Republic. Their voice is still for war, ^nd, as some of the more fooli»l» demand, a war inore bloody in the future than the past. "The invader must be driren from rencli soil by French armie" say they.

Now that King William and the German armies are within the borders ofFrance justifiably in the prosecution of a defensive war, it is not probable that they will retire in obedience to a threat from the French Republic. The German army is in no mood now to obey orders from Paris, whether they cotne from the Emperor or the Republic. The change in the form of the French government does not chsChge the merits of the original controversy.* It wonld be a new idea in war if the just victor were compelled tq..shcath his swerd and retire in disgrace whenever an Emperor was deposffcl'and a new form of government set up by the vanquished.

We are sorry, to see the French still clamoring for war. If the dreadful rarnage is not slaved it will be because Franc® is not willing to accept .the situation her own folly 4ia.i brought upon h$r. ^Napoleon without Frahce was nbthing. France allowed him to rule her Tor. twenty years. France rejoiced in his military successes in other wars, and it is but right for her to acknowledge the defeat which her submission io Napoleon has now brought to the French arms. When the new Republic assumes a more pacific tone and convinces the world that France desires peace—when it is qnite clear that the cry of Vive la Hepubtiquc" is more than .a new battle cry to induce brave Frenchmen to rush upon the German armies, it will be time enough for the civilized world tosay "halt" to King William and his German soldiers.

No one can more 'ardently desire the establishment of a Frebch Republic than we, but we do not wish to see its birth signalized by more bloodshed. When tlic Republic cries "peace 1" Kihg William -will not be slow to stop the slaughtering his brave subjects. If the-Republic insists upon the continuance of the war, we predict that it will be compelled to aS cept terms from the victorious Germans within the walls of Paris.— Indianupotis Journal.
