Of this number the Ji, ii'sh No' th .Vine ican Provinces have furnish ed 40,403, of which 22.720 were men, and 17.f83 women. It is difficult to account for this large imiu:g-ruion across the Si.

A L'OKI !CSI'O::I -:NT of the Washington Chronicle who has taken a survey of the Congressional field in Pennsylvania coneludes that the great- expectations of Democratic gains in that State, announced in the Democratic journal* a fewweeks ago, will not be realized. He says he is satisfied that we shall not lose a sin gle Republican district, notwithstanding the close Republican vote by which several of these districts are' usually carried, and the temporary disaffection which hp« manifested itself in one or two others. The First District, now represented by RANDALL, IS strongly Democratic. In the Second, Hon. CUAS. O'NEILL, Kepub. lican, has to contend against a bolt, but his election is claimed, neve-theless. Ml" Kits, Republican, will be re-elected in the Third. In the Fourth, this conesponden savs, ''the effort iO break the Hon.

J. \V. Kir.u.NOKK* who served in the Thirty-sixth and Thirty seventh Congresse-*, are reported good. The District is now represented by Gen CAJC :, who had but 2'2-j majority. The venerable

Voorhecs' st

'I lie last issue of the home organ of Mr, \oouHKns contains a long article which boiled down and put in plain Engli-h means just this: "We canfiol elect Voott IIKKS wiiiiout iJ:u lit-lp of C.on-ervativ Republicans."

We had been aware, lor tome weeks that VOORUKKS regarded his ca-e as vc/v desperate, and knew that the best-i.iform ed of liis political friend.- were desparin of his election but it did not- occur to as at "all likely that his organ would confess defeat in advance, and send om "forlorn hope" to beg the aid of Repnbli cans!

V/e will not insult the intelligence and patrio!i--m of (he Republican voters- of this District by a supposition of the motest possibility that anv of them can be induccd to vote for D.V.N~II W. Voort nines and if thai gentleman is hoping to be rctti, tied to Congress by Republican votes—and we are reliably assured that he makes sich a boat to his friends abroad—he is.buiiding- on a foundation that wilj slip from under him.

There is rtothing in his political character or record to commend him to the favor of even the most "conservative member of the Republican party noth 'ng that every true Republican do' not detest. In fact, if. the country, were ran sacked for a .ype of alj that Republicans most cordially despise, an embodiment of principles in deadly antagonism to those on which Hie Republican party ganized, and for which it fias bravely fought since the hour of its birth, no bet ter type could be found than D. W. Yoo ltMUS.

That snch a man should beg Renubli can votes, to avert a defeat that he regards as otherwise certain, is a piece of eflrontery rarely paralleled.

"THK Republican- party"—says the Chicago Re-publican, "having harmonized the Constitution and laws with the Declaration of Independence, has still much to do. Ps first duly is to make sure that the cause of liberty and humanity will hold what has been gained, and retain it to bless llie wo-ld's future. Its after work is a party of progress and reform. The development of the country in its interests, is so intimately connected with its purpose and nTission, that it is impossible to separate them. Every interest of labor is involved .in its success. Great improvements industrial developement enlarged channels of commerce diversity of occu pat ions, better and nearer markets the promotion and fostering of schools, uni vcrsities, and religious institutions of all denominations a sacred regard for the public faith and credit retrenchment of public expenses to the lowest passible figures reduced taxation, and an honest collection of the revenues. These are among the great objects of the organization, and there will be no backward step. It looks truthfully to the future, and has faith in the intelligence of the people, whose reasonable expectations it has never'disappointed. Such is the party that is now appealing to the country for a new lease of power, and it will not be disappointed."

SAYS the Philadelphia Inquirer: With the appointment of Mr. MO'KTOX, as Minister to the Court of St. .T ime, there can be no dissatisfaction felt anywhere. It is questionable if he is not the best, .man for" the position but whether he is or is not, he is still one who will take to the disharge of its very responsible duties acknowledged intelligence, cliarac or and statesmanship. As Governor of Lndiajia during the war of the rebellion he distinguished himself not only by his ability and energy, but as well*by his lofty patriotism and indefatigable devotion to the cause of the Union. As a Senator lie has commanded the respect and admiration oflhe whole COUIK. V. In th^t office those characteristics which indicate the statesman were constantly revealed by him, and his whole Senatorial career has been without blcmi.sh or suspicion of any kind.

THK- Lafayette Journal urges every Repub ican who has not yet thought of it, to consider the fact that his may be the vote that' shall turn the scale of victory. We do not think that either our coumv, district, or State is so close a.* this remark would indicate. Rut they may be. There is a lull in general politics, but in this State an exceedingly vigorous campaign is progressing, on the part of the Democ rhcy, in order to carry the Legislature for coi up', purposes-, and to give Mr. II F.xnmcics prestige in the Democratic National Convention of 1872. In addition to these mo'ives, ihe Democracy have receded a new one fiom 'he appointment of Sen a. or MORTON to the Englir-h Mission, which creates a vacancy to be filled next winter. Every Republican owes it to tlie Republican party io be at the polls on election day.

MASSACHUSETTS is fecilitating [sic] herself upon the fact that her population has increased 215,000 since 1860, and that she will not lose a Congressman under the new apportionment for Representatives, as was supposed, unless the rate should be fixed at more than l50,000 inhabitants to each Representative. ———<>———

THK Pennsylvania Republican Committee in Washington, have made arrangements to -end home every voter in the departments election day. Some of he usual Republican Congressional district are in doubt, and every effort will be made to insure success where there is a ehancc.

SPEAKING of Senator MORTON, in eoniction with the English mission, the Indianapolis Journal gays:

Whether Ife will decide to accept the offered position, we are not advised. His health is very poor and his position in the Senate is one that he would naturally be reluctant to leave.

As INDICATING the high estimation in which Senator MOKTON is held in New England, we print the following mention of his appointment to the English mission, from the Boston Times, an independent journal:

The appointment is rcognlzcd a^ an excellent one io njl respects, for Senator Morion is a man of the highest executive ability, having a reputation in the West such as the lamented John A. Andrew bad in the East. His mind has a broad g'asp on public affairs his judgment is enlightened, calm and lirin in a word he is "the right man in the right place," and will fully justify, by his actions, his choice bv President Grant.

THE Philadelphia Press says: The peculiar advantage of Senator MORTON'S appointment as Minisier to the Court of Sc. James.is in the double fact that he will go to England aliKe as the represen tative of the Radical Republicans in the Senate and the President of the United State lie has never'been among the

cnemie-

of Mr. MOTLEY. He has always

been the devoied friend of Senator SUMNER. The earnest advocate of the San Domingo treaty, he has never been in personal hostility wi-di Senator SUJINER and those who have opposed the ratification of that treaty. No Senator shares more entirely the confidence and affection of his associates of all parties than OLIVER P. MORTON. President GRANT, in choosing him, therefore, from among all the public men of ihe country, has indicated aspi -it wtiich cannot be loo highly com mended. The new Minisier will go to ihe Court of St. James under very interesting auspices. lie will be received by the rcpublicuiis of Eiu ope as among the most eminent, .eprescn.atives of the publican idea. He wi'l go there to pi-ess the Alabama (jues-ion in the spirit in which recent' events have induced the Administration'o rega it. "Whatever may be said of Mr. MOTLEY, this mar be said of. Governor MORTON, that he goes to England clothed with the full confl dence of General GKANT.'S Administration.

THE advent of this frantical Republi can party to power was marked by im mediate lveparations for war.—Journal.

The. is no man, even in the Democratic party, so ignorant of reccnt history as not to know that ihe war was begun three or four months before the cl®sc of BUCHANAN'S .disgraceful, cowardly, thieving trai.oro'.is administration. Long before LINCOLN' lef„'hk home in Springfield, to ran the gauntlet of Democratic assassins, on his way to Washington, several States had seceded, had seized United Stale* forts, arsenals, treasures and other prop erty, and a.s early as January 1801 had inaugura.ed actual hostilities by filing on the United States Hag on board a United Sta.es vessel. The imbecile cowards and traitors who had charge of "affairs at Washington, so far from trying to suppress the insurrection, gave it encourage ment and aid. They shipped.thousands of guns and millions of dollars worth of ordnance stores to the bands of rebels ready to bear them against the Government. They sent our ships of war to re mote parts of. the world so that they could not be employed against the rebel lion. They found "no authority in the con stitution to coerce a State." And when the Republican administration came into power, it found the war, inaugurated by Democrats under the fostering care of a Democratic administration, ready to burst forth in the full pride of its strength. But not even then did Mr. LINCOLN make "immediate preparations for war." Even his comprehensive mind failed to grasp the situation, and he wasted precious weeks—more 'than a month—in earnest but futile efforts for peace.. Finally, when to have delayed longer would have been a monstrous crime, lie reluctantly submitted the question of our national life to the arbitrament of war, and the Republican party, supported by a few patriotic Democrats, fought the war out and saved the Union. This, briefly told, is the proudest chapter in the history of any party that this country has ever known. It is glory enough for a century, ay, for ages to come. And commensurate and co-exten-sivc with this record of glory is the infamv that ":othe la-^syllable of recorded ime" will cleave' to the party whose traitor hand i-ought, for more than four long, weary, bloody years, to destroy the east and best government on whicli God's Sun has ever phown.'

THERE arc few gentlejnen in this Countv more generally and favorably known to our German readers than Capt. THEODORE MARXEN, Republican candidate for Recorder but there are many Republicans of American birth who may not have made his acquaintance and to them desire to say that he is, in all respects, ell qualified to discharge the duties of the ofljee to which lie aspires.

Capt. MARXEN is a gentleman of excelut charac'er and good education, familiar with clerical work, and rigidly correct in his business habits. Ilis militarv record is without a blemish, and is source of just pride to his many friends. He enlisted as a private in Co. E. of the gallant old 32d Ind. Vols., Aug. 21,1SG1 was promoted'Sergeant Aug. 25, 1S61 received his warrant as Commissary Sergeant, Sept. 1, 1SG2 reenlis-cd as a veteran, February G, 1SG1 was commissioned as 2d Lieutenant February S, 1S64 promoted to Fi-st Lieutenant and assigned

Company C, August 21*1?') I: pro tinted to Captain, June 20th, 1S65 and was honorably discharged at Indianapolis, Jan. 5, 1S66.

The history of the 32d Indiana Volunteers is familiar to all who know anything of the glorious record of Indiana soldiers in the War of the Rebellion. It bore its part proudly and grandly on many a bloody field, and THEODOK2 MARXEN earned his promotion step by step, from an enlisted man to a Captaincy.

There are oilier candidates on the Republican county ticket whose military history is an honor to themselves and will be cherished .is a priceless heritage bv their descendants. There is MORTON C. RANKIN of thejlst Indiana, and GORQON LEE of the same eommaml—both as brave soldiers as ever shouldered a musket or drew a sabre. And there is DAVID L. CHRISTY, our candidate for Coroner, whose name is also enrolled among the brave Union soldiers.

The Democratic county ticket contains the name of one soldier—their candidate for Coroner—and it is a wonder that even that small crumb was not swallowed by some stay-at-home, '.var-a-failure competitor.

These are suggestive facts, worthy the consideration of voters, and will bear further discussion be.'ore the campaign clo

While Detuorra's profess such "boundless affection for soldiers, it is well to show, by reference to their various ticket*, that proscr.'pt on, rather than favoritism, is the rule of the'r conduct towards 'the bovs in bluer'

A Philiipic Against Germany,

WENDELL PHILLIPS has talent of a certain order, lie is gifted with eloquence. He has no hesitation in expressing his ideas plainly and vigorously. He is ujisparing in his use of invectives. His one defect, which damages all his raerh«, is utter lack of judgment. He looks at all subjects with but one eye, and that so short-sighted that h^cannot see an inch bevond his nose With the usual mental obliquity of such short-sighted one-idea men, he conceives everyone else to be going astray because they shape their course to avoid obstacles he cannot see, and falls foul of ihern with abusive language because they do not knock the brains out against the stone walls which his own short-sight has not discovered.

From the beginning to the end of our war Wendell Phillips was the Thersites abusing camp a!nd*cabinet, the common scold of the press and the platform. He abused every leading man for taking the course which events proved to have been right and when file verdict of time was jjiven in their fjivor, with matchless impudence he arrogated to himself, or his few admirers ascribed to him, the credit of largely aiding in bringing about those events. He abused Lincol® until he was in'his grave for doing the work of a far-seeing statesman, and over his grave eulogized him for that very work.

Mr. Phillips appears before the public in the character of jndge iifthe quarrel between France and Prussia, and he prpnoutices judgment against the latter with his accustomed vituperative violence and lack of judgment. Totally ignoring the facts of the case he makes up his opinion on a purely theoretical view, inconsistent with the actual posi,ion of affairs, and like most persons in like situation, falls into a violent passion whilst pronouncing judgment. It is useless to argue with one so opinionated and wrong-headed Wendell Phillips, but there are those who may be carried away for the moment by his passionTtte denunciation, and yet be able to comprehend a.plain statement of facts.

The position of Mr. Phillips is that the crime of France was .expiated at Sedan, that with the surrender of Napoleon the motive of the war ended, and peace should have been made the Prussiap armies should then have retired from French terrnofy and that in marching on Paris and continuing the war against itie French Republic, Prussia has commuted a crime against liberty and against humanity, deserving the reprobation of all mankind and the special execration of Wendell Phillips. To this statement we offer a few objections. It is true the surrender at Sedan, and the fall of Napo-leon-was generally accepted as the proper termination of the war. But this acceptance arose from the understanding that the war was one waged by Napoleon himself that it was in opposition to the wishes of the Prench people and that on the fall-of the Empire the French people would announce to Prussia their desire for peace. Had ihis been done there would have been no sympathy for Prussia in an attempt to continue the war for the sole purpose of needlessly humiliating

defeated foe. Had it been done, the "war would have been continued, not by united Germany, as it has been, but by

Prussia alone. What were the facts? The surrender of Napoleon was the fall of the Empire, but the Government—be it a Republic in fact or in name only—which arose on its ruins, manifested no disposition to acccpt'the defeat at Sedan a.s final. Instead of repudiating the war it breathed defiance and vengeance. The universal cry of France, if. the statements of the new Government were to be believed, was that the Prussian invaders must be swept from the face of France, and that a terrible payment would be exacted for_ the lives lost, the property destroyed, and the humiliatipniS suffered by the French nation from the day of Weissenburg i.o the day of Sedan. The self styled Republic assumed the inheritance of the jvar of the Empire, and announced its determination to carry it on with even greater vigor, What then became the duty of Prussia? To abandon the fields already won, to retire across the frontier, to disband its armies, and then wait until France, burning with thirst for vengeance, should organize an army and sweep with fire and sword through the Rhine Provinces? If Wendell Phillips were a peaceful German farmer, cultivating his crops and raising a large family in the valley of the Prussian Moselle, would behold such an- opinion? We think not. He probably would have held to the wisdom of the Scotch Douglas motto "Make sure."

It is now.no secret, except to such men as Wendell Phillips, who cannot, or will not, see facts staring them in the face when they conflict with their theories, that though the immediate cause of the war was the personal ambition of Xapoleon it- Was suggested and rendered possible by the well understood desiie of the French people to obtain possession of the German Rhine Provinces, and once more make the Rhine the northern boundary of the nation, as in the time of the First Empire. No sooner ha'd war been declared than this sentiment became the inspiring motive of the army and the people. Defeat only served to intensify this feeling, and it was openly declared that the measure of French vengeance would not be full until French troops .were camped on the left bank of the Rliine, and French officials administered affairs throng all the Rhine Provinces. In 'lie face of this avowed sentiment it would have been a crime against their own na.ional safety had the Prussians abandoned the'r efforts until sure guarantees had been obtained against (lie threatened future rep' isals.

How could those guarantees be obtained? Were the Prussians to wait in the Argopnes un'il the "republic" could fulfill i,s declared purpose of repeating the events of 1792, raising an army in a few days and, making the passes of the- Argonnes the French Therraopyle, from which the Prussian were to be driven avid their broken ranks chased to the s.reels of Beflfn? To prevent the fulfillment of that threat'the Prussians hurried through the dangerous defiles and closed in on Paris. Whether Paris is to be bombarded er not depends not so much upon Prussia as upon France. If France accepts the'situation and submits to Prussians terms, not ashot will be fired at Paris,and not a stone MI it injured. Those have be2n repeatedly declared as demanding nothing more than a sure guaranty against the frequently avowed French desire for vengeance and territorial robber}-. Less than this Prussia could scarcely be expected to denland, unless she desires an early renewal of the present bloody quarrel. When France produces a Government that will make such terms and give proofs of its ability to fulfill them, then the German soldiers will turn their backs on Paris and hurry with eager steps to their homes.

As for the heinous crime of Prussia in warring against the French Republic, will Mr. PiiiLLirs explain what proof he has that the Provisional Government in Paris

Republican Government? Was it the choice of the French people, or was it a self-proclaimed Government, assuming the name of -a Republic without evidence of its being so in fact? Is it nofc repudiated by the "Red" organiration, to whom belong most of the real element of French Republicanism, even in Paris itself? Does he not' know that nothing but the outside pressure of the Prussian armies prevents Paris being to-day a scene of confusion in which the Reds and the Moderates, to say nothing of the other factions, would be struggline for the mastery, and that even the proximity of the common foe scarcely keeps them in temporary harmony?

We believe that the hope of France getting an enduring government, Republican or otherwise, lies in the pressure of the German foe consolidating all the diverse elements into one mas*, and that cjmiuon danger may thus make a common pu-pa-e. We believe that Germany has no unfriendly'feeling against a French Republic, but on the other hand is as determined to secure i:self" against the possible de-igns of a French Republic as against thoe of a French Empire, and for this no fair-minded person will blame

them.— dece.'and Herald.

NOTES OF THE WAR

A Circle of Detached Forts.

The Pall Mall

Gazette

says modern war

fare has shown in more than one instance the value of intrenched camps, formed by a circle of detached forts, with the main fortress for its nucleus. Mantua, by its position, was an intrenched camp, so was Dantzic, more or less, in 1807, and these two were "the only fortresses which ever arrested Napoleon I. Again, in 1813, Dantzic was enabled by its detached forts —field works for the most part—to offer a prolonged resistance. The whole of Radetzky's campaign in 1849 in Lombardy hinged on the intrenched camp of Verona, itself the nucleus of the celebrated Quadrilateral so did the whole o. the Crimean war depend on ihe intrenched camp of Sevastopol, which held out 60 long merely because the allies were unable.to invest it on all'siden, and cut off supplies and re-enforcemente from the basieged.

RAPIB RECOVERY OK WOUNDED. We read in a letter from Met*: "The head doctor in charge of the wounded at Gravelotte informs me rtAt in no war upon record have the wounded so soon recovered and been able so soon to return to their duty. This he accounts for by the very small and clean wounds that the chassepot bullet inflicts. In nine cases out of twelve where the bullet has touched a bone it has been diverted from its course, and has taken a diagonal direction. A splintered bone is a case of rare occurrence. On the other hand, the needle bnllet makes a fearful wound, and the Prussian shells, cased as they are with lead to take the grooves, still worse."

THE PKINCE IMPERIAL.

Writing of the Prince Imperial, the London correspondent of the

Scotsman

says: "Three or four years ago he was in a very delicate condition. A disea.se of thefcnkle bone and other rather alarming symptoms appeared. I saw him almost daily at Biarri.z at this time, and when he was playing with young Conneau on the terrace of the chateau, it was easy to see how he limped, and when .he went out into the town. li€ always rode in a carriage, even when the Emperor and Em press were on foot. The great physical fatigue and anxiety to which the poor boy hasof late been subject have produced some indications o? a recurrence of the old disorder, and hence the visit to Has tings."

THE FALLEN EMPEROR.

The London Post contends that the Imperial family ofFrance lias at this moment a title of no common kind to the good wishes and friendly estimation of Englishmen. That the Emperor, in governing a mast impracticable and impulsive people, may have committed some grave mistakes, is not denied but who tliat remein hers the France of 184S and compares- it with the France of the early part of 1S70, cannot see the enormous strides in national prosperity which, under the rnleof Napoleon HI., the Empire lias made? And if now his sun ha« gone down in cloud and storm, it is more owing to the force of circumstances than to any inherent defects in his own discharge of his exalted office. .- TOO MANY PRISONERS.

The Pall Mall Gazette says the Prussians must be beginning to feel rather uncomfortable at the number of French prisoners they have on their hands. To say nothing of the trouble of guarding them, the expensfe of feeding them must add considerably to the cost of ihe war. If the French really wished to annoy their invaders to the utmost degree, they perhaps could not put them in a more embarrassing condition than by forming army after army and capitulating as fast as they formed. There ought not to be much difficulty in carrying on this plan. Very little training as a soldier is necessary to make a good prisoner, nor is there any occasion to be particular as to age, bight or general soundess. They have only to go on calling out the men of all ages until they reach those between 75 and 85. If they can muster some thousands of these, and get them hemmed in by the Prussians, they may afford to laugh at their foes.

YOUTHFUL TROOrS.

The Tall Mall Gazette remarks: "No one can lielp being struck with the youthful and undeveloped appearance of- the regulars. and the unwjeldy elements of which many- battalions of the French National Guard are composed. Some of the respectable battalions march and look well enough on parade, but the battalions just organized, and taken from quarters of the town notoriously disaffected to therecent government, are little more tliah a rabble. It is curiojis to see a gale of the Tuilleries guarded by a voltigeur of the guard on one side, and an armed citizen in a blouse on the other. Whatever the late Imperial Guard may inwardly think, it has followed the popular movement, and offered up its eagles on the altar of freedom."

The Baron Henry Von Maltzan, tlie well known African traveler, writes from Tripoli to the Allgemeine Zciturtg as follows: "I am daily reading in the newspapers accounts of the dreadful cruelties-commit-ted by the Turcos upon the wounded German prisoners. I am-not at all astonished at these reports. The Turcos, for the mast part, consist, of the inhabitants of the Caboul, well kno

as the most bru

tal and ferocious of I lie No:th A ican. tribes. Jn the Caboul campaign !.-57, the'eaptured French" prisoners lm their inibs .orn from them, and the wounded had their eyes plucked out ancl their noses and ears cut off by1 the women of Caboul, and every manly heart must be filled with indignation (otind that the French, who rail themselves a civilized nation, should employ 5-uch blood-thirsty men, who? instincts are well known' to them, in war against another civilized nation, and hound them on against the Germans. But' the day of reckoning does not seem far distant."

NEW GERSIAJ* EMPIRE.

A Leipsic letter in the Parir, Constitutional says: I have just seen in a bookseller's window here the new map of the German Empire ("Die Karte des Deutchen Reiches.") It absorbs in France, Lorraine, Alsace and Franche-Compte the line then leaves the Daubs, and passes in Switzerland between Berne and Friburg, borders St. Gothard on the south,, and crosses the Alps to Trieste, whence it remouqts by Gratz and Vienna to the confines of Prussian Silesia, swallowing up in its passage through Austria all the territory west of that line. To the north nothing is changed. Only the color of the German provinces belonging to Russia is the same as that of the so called empire the only difference is that it is a ittle paler.

Sam Lavrson on Indians. BY MRS. II. B. STOWE. "Wal, ye see Tekawampait. he was the fust Christian Indian minister of the Gospel there was in Oldtown. He was a full-blooded Indian, but he was as good a Christian as there wasgoin'and he. was settled here over the ch'urch in Oldtown afore Parson Peabodv .and Parson-Pea-body he come afore Parson Lothrop and a very good minister Tekawampait was too. "Folks lies safd that there couldn't nolhin' be made of Indians that they was nothin' but sort 0' bears and tigers a walkin' round on their hind legs, a seekin' whom they might devour-, but Parson Iiliol he didn't think so. 'Christ died for them as wal as for me,' says he 'and jist give 'em the Gospel,' says lie, 'and the rest'Il come along of itself. And so he come here to Oldtown, and sot up a sort .o'log-hut right on the spot where the old

He used to stand under that are big oak there and'preach to the Indians, long before there was any meetin'-house to speak in here in Oldtown. "Wal, now, I tell you, it took puity good courage in Parson Eliot to do that are. I tell VOH, in them days it took putty CQn-id' able faith to see anything in an Indian but jist a vild beast. Folks ain't tell by seein'on 'em now days what they was in the old limes, when all the settlements was new, and the Indians was stark, stnrin'. wild, a raein' andl tarin' round in the woods and a fightin' each other, and a fightin' the white folks."—

THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN.

The Story Told of tlie-Headless Rider Not au Impossibility.

From this London Laacet.] At the battle of Woerth it is said that at the third charge of the cuirassiers a horse was to be seen going at full speed, with a headless rider. The mutilated corpse was that of M. de la Futzun de Lacarre, Colonel of the Third Regiment of French Cuirassiers, who had been decapitated by a cannon ball. Most people on reading this would declare that it was a re sensation paragraph, totally devoid of truth. Suction occurrence, however, would not by any means seem to be an impossibility. Not long ago we directed our readers' attention to an hiteresting article published by Dr. Brinton, surgeon to the Philadelphia Hospital, on the instantaneous rigidity vhich.forms the occasional accompaniment of sudden and violent death, such as results from wounds of the head or heart. The startling phenomenon sometimes seen on the battlefield of the retention in death of the last attitude in life, has not escaped the observation of military surgeons, although the facts connected therewith have not been studied with the attention that they deserve. Those who are familiar with the descriptions that were given of the Crimean battlefields, particularly that of Inkerman, will remember that the various attitudes and the expression of the features of the dead were dwelt upon.

The report of M. Clienu oontains a short account, chiefly based upon the communications of MM. Armand and Perier, of the attitudes of the_dead in battle during the Crimean and "Italian campaigns. At Magenta a Hungarian hussar, killed at the same time as his horse, remained almost in the saddle, resting on his right side, the point of his sabre carried forward, as at the charge. This rigidity generally follows sudden and violent deaths, but not invariably. Dr. Brinton, among his cascs( gives one of a very striking kind. He says that a man wounded in the left breast at Belmont, Missouri, found a stray mule, which he succeeded in mounting. While in the act of riding the animalhe died but his corpse_ retained the upright mounted position,'and on it becoming necessacy to appropriate the mule to the use of a living wounded soldier the body was found to be so firmly and rigidly set as to demand a certain -amount of positive force to free the mule from the.clasp of the legs.- Dr. Brinlon is led to conclude, from Lis own observations and those of others, that this battlefield rigidity is developed at the moment of death, and that the cadaveric attitudes are those of 'the last moment and act of life.

The Western .Union Telegraph Compun j". To-dfiy, then, the Western Union Tc'e graph Company, colossal in its n'ze, has *more strength and vitality than ever.—

Between January 1, 18(it5, and July 1, 18G9, 8000 miles of poles and 18,000 miles of wire were pi't up,'and of -the old lines 8000 miles of poles were entirely renewed, with 17,500 miles of wt.'a. Since the latter date the work of construction and improvement luus gone steadily forward, so that the company now owns 53,000 miles of lines, with 105,000 miles of wire connecting 3500 stations, and has in its employ nearly 7000 pe sons. This vast .reticulation covers the North Ameii--can. continent from Plaister Cove, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, to Los Angelos, in California,'and from the Kishyox River' fisheries, eight hundred miles nor'li of New Westminister, British Columbia, to Nev Orleans. Wihhi this compass, is embraced every town of importance, and to each is accorded thfe facilities demanded by its necessities. In the larger cities special offices are provided for each businc centre. Stock brokers, oil brokers, in merchants, cattle dealers, and tjie di goods trade have wires devoted to th^ir uses, and messages, involving the largest transactions flash from one city to another,-rarely with the occurrcncc of an erron. The press, too, has its own arrangement, with rates so cheap that it received in one year for $900,COO of our currency more matter than the entire telegraphic correspondence of Europe, which cost §8,000,000 in gold- With consummate skill the diverse interests of each part of the country are harmonized, and.the constant adoption of measures for speed and reliability in the transmission of business has led to an annual increase of a million and a'half of messages.

Owning or controlling nine-tenths of the total telegraph system on this continent, the company has not suffered to any serious extent from opposition developed since 1S60.. Indeed, at some offices the effect of competiiion has been to increase receipts, whilst few, if any, of the rival lines are earning a profit. The increase in the telegraph business of the country has been rapid beyond all expectation.— Offices whicn in 1848 returned §500 as a total month's receipts, now render accounts for §50,000, and at Washington, the starting-point of the whole American system, where the revenue for the first week of April, 1S45. was SI.55, it is now $100,000 yearly and if all the press matter sent fro* that .city were paid for there, the annual receipts would be swollen to over $200,000.—Lipvincott's Magazine.

Tobacco for the Wounded. From tho London Lancet If there be one fact that has been more frequently stated than another, it is that the soldiers engaged in this war, well or wounded, seek the solace of tobacco. The inhabitants of every nation manifest similar instincts, and one of the strongest is this desire to seek out some substance the use of which may stimulate or soothe the nervous.svstem.' There is no deprivation which the habitual although notexc'essrVe smoker feels so much as the loss of tobacco and soldiers of all nations, especially of 'he French and German nations, sm it.. It was a standing injunction o! li.- First Napoleon that bis troops should 'have tobacco, and they found it of the greatest advantage in the retreat from Moscow. We have been accustomed to look,upon the Germans as fond of hard intellectual toil for its own sake, and men of abstraction and im agination, *f we may judge from the pre valence of the practice of smoking among them, unquestionably appear to find an aid in tobacco. But the manhood of Germany has risen like a giant refreshed to undergo any physical exertion and hardship that maV be required and this war -has taxed the physical energies of the strongest. The soldier, wearied with long marches and uncertain rest, obtaining his food how and when he can, \}-ith his nervous system always in a state of tension from'the dangers and excitement he encounters, finds that his cigar or pipe enable him to sustain hunger or fatigue with comparative equanimity. Explain this as we may, this is physiologically true, and medical officers who would not be sorry to see the issue of a "spirit ration" discontinued, are compelled to' allow that the moderate use of tobacco by pol-'iers'in the field has several advantages. For the wounded it is probable that to1 cco has slight anodyne and narco'ic properties that enable the sufferer to sustain J^ain better during fhe day. and to obtain sleep during the nip lit.'

A REMARKAKLE DISCOVERY. ———

A Ship Found in a California Desert. ———

By many it has been held as a theory that the Yuma desert was once an ocean bed. At intervals pools of salt water have stood for a while in the midst of the surrounding waste of sand, disappearing only to rise again in the same or other localities A short time since one of these saline laks [sic] disappeared, and a party of Indians reported the discovery of a "big ship," left by the receding waves. A party of Americans at once proceeded to the spot, and found imbedded in the sands the wreck of a large vessel. Nearly one-third of the forward parts of the ship or back is plainly visible. The stump of the bowsprit remains, and portions of the timbers of teak are perfect. The wreck is located forty miles north of the San Bernardino and Fort Yuma road, and thirty tniles west of Los Palmes, a well-known watering place on the desert. The road across the desert has been traveled for more than one hundred years. The history of the ill fated vessel can, of course, never be known, but the discovery of its decaying timbers in the midst of what has long been a desert will furnish savans [sic] with food for discussion, and may perhaps furnish important aid in the elucidation of questions of science.—<Los

ULESFAVBE'S REPORT.

Jules Favre to-day made a special report to the government here of his mis bion to the Prussian headquarters in behalf of peace. He says a j»reat many different solutions of the difhculty has been proposed and rejected and lie determined at last to make a direct move. Therefore on the 10th of September he demanded of Count Bismarck a categorical reply as to whether he would enter "upon negotiations. Bismarck's first answer was unfavorable, though he subsequently asked what guarantees France could offer. The foreign minister, who was acting as an intermediary, advised Favre to see Bismarck and make his demands in person. Accordingly Favre saw Bismarck, expressed to him his love of France and liberty, and his determinaiion to accept no conditions which would render peace only a truce. Bismarck said if he thought peace was possible he would sign at once, but the actual government Tftfs too precarious and likely to be overthrown, trance would not be any more apt to forget Sedan than she had been to forget Waterloo and Sadowa. She would soon attack Germany again.

Being pressed for conditions, Favre was explicit, but Bismarck asserted the security ef his country and demanded the retention of a part of the territory of Germany now occupied, and mentioned in that connection the department of the upper Rhine, lower Rhine and Moselle with Metz, Chalati, Solunis and Soissons. To the objection gf Favre that the people of France would not agree to that, and that he eonld not act without their sanction, Bismarck replied that he felt confident of that before, but as another war was certain, he*wished to make it with all advantages possible. Favre then intimated that Europe might find the pretensions of Prussia exorbitant.

He was certain France would never accept them. She might perish as a nation, but she would not be dishonored. The country alve could decideupon the question of terri'orial cessiqn and Favre could not doubt what that decision would be. Bismarck would not listen to any propositions for. an armistice.

The seoond interview occurred at Ferr'erj on the 19th. 6n this occasion Bismarck seemed to accept the idea of an armistice. Favre asked for fifteen days. The next day Bismarck handed Favre his conditions, adding that the Germans must have the forts commanding Paris, more especially Fort Mont Valerien on the western border. Favre replied that it would ba more sin pie to demand Paris at once. Bitmarck aid if these terms were not -satisfactory the French must, seek other arrangements. Favre proposed a meeting of the Constituent Assembly at -Tours. Bismarck »mflde a conditton that the garrison ^f Strasburg should surrender prisoners of war. Upon Favre's indignantly refusing, Bismarck consulted the.King who insisted on the surrender of Strasburg. Wearied with his useless efforts Favre retired expressing, the conviction that France would fight to the last. Favre concludes from the n* inner in which all his efforts for peace have been met by the Germans, indicates that they are deter mined upon conquest. He says the in terviews were not altogether uselesf (hey have proved that, notwithstanding, "Prussia declared she warred only against

Napoleon and his army, she is really fighting the. nation, which must arise en masse, either to' disavow universal gov ernment or resist its enemy to the last

DISPATCHES FROM ORLEANS. LOXDON, Sept. 2G.—Dispatches from Orleans state that cavalry encounters are reported at Bagoches- and Autinay Prince Albert with a large force was re* ported at the former place. The Prus sians are hastening the reconstruction of the fortress at Leon. The French pi isoners are well fed and generously treated.

HISMARCK EXPLAINS THINGS.

Spcciul to tho Tribune.] LONDON, Sept. 28.—A correspondent of the Tribune writes from Tomcnx 18th 1 had a conversation with Count Von Bismarck during which I asked him if the report was true that there was an English Representative here. He answered, the English havfc asked me if we will treat with Jules Favre, ancfl replied we would if his government could guarantee us possession of Metz and Strasbourg. This he could not do.* In this war, we are influenced said Bismarck by no motive of aggrandizement whatever, We have no puipose in view but our own security, consequently we must provide for the next war, which is sure to come. France is now without allies but may soon succeed in procuring tliera, and is sure to commence another war under bit ter auspices. That is why we demand these fortresses." But the present government in Paris d.Vre not agree to the cession of French territory, nor probably with the next government, but our purpose is fixed- and if necessary we are ready to stay all winter at Paris.

I said, ."the general impression is that France is too much.weakened to begin another war for many years." That is not the cas6 answered Bismarck, Prance is a very wealthy country, and will remain so after the war.* Within five years she will have safely recovered, .so as to be able to recommence hostilities. For that reason we must liaVe those fortresses, but as the government at Paris is not disposed to deliver them up and probably has iio command over them, peace is not very near and we must wait until we can reduce them.

We here that the garrisons are already eating horses, then "the question of peace," I said, reduced "itself to one for the possession of Metz and Strasbourg." He answered, yes, that is it precisely.

BAZAINE.

It is now said that Bazainc has not offered to surrender Metz on any terms whatever.

The Honiblc Chignon.

From tho Philadelphia Post.] The time wlun chignons will go out of fashion might be called a hairy millennium. The other day we saw a wonder —a young lady who wore her own hair only. There was not much of it, but how beautiful and natural it looked, and how different from those monstrous and abominable bags- of jute, those impossible switches, those bunches of tangled wool, which now disfigure nearly every woman in the city. To look at these gigantic deformities, which do not even pretend to be natural, hs to think, of perspiration, trichr ina, rope-yards, dirt, and detectable tastg, They'disfigure the entire head of the prettiest of young ladies.

Sometimes tlie vanii/ of the wearer leads to amusing result". We recently saw a lady whose "braid" or "front" had been disarranged by tlie wind, and displayed a forehead as bald as Bismarck's, while behind her luxuriant tresses were bound up in a bundle like a coffe^bag. It is getting to be common (o see decided differences in the color of Jthe real and ie false hair.

But our ladies do not seem to mind these absurdities. They have ceased to pretend that the chignons are hut the natural locks of their pretty little heads, and openly discuss the price of hemp and wool. We wish even those who buy real hair, cut from the dead "or bought from the living, would reflect upon the words of a clergyman, who asked one of his fair and fashionable sheep if she had ever thought that she might be wearing the hair of a woman whose roul might be in purgatory?

The question was severe^ but suggestive. It would not, however, apply to the majority of Ame'ican women: they do not wear natural bairj and are obliged to stick on the back of their heads Bubstances done up in nets, that- resemble hair about as much as a scrubbing-brush does. The time may come when American women will not sacrifice beauty, laste, and what may be callcd honesty of perxmal appearance, to the tyrrarny of a barbarian and ugly fashion. Hut it will never come till thev have as much regard for tjie insit'e of their prccii us heads ai 'hcv now hi-ve for the outside.
