When Did You Shave??In one of the towns of Arkansas, a man had been drinking until a late hour at night- When he started for home, honest folks were in bed, and the houses were all shut and dark. The liauor he had taken was too much for him and he did not know where to go. He at last stag- ' gered into an empty wagon-shed and fell upon < the ground. For a long time he lay in the \ unconsciousness of a drunken sleep, and would , have frozen (for the snow on the ground . showed the night to be very cold) had not . others less insensible than himself been around him. This shed was a rendezvous of the hog: I they rushed out when the new comer arrived, ; but soon returned to their bed. In the great- ] est kindness, and with the truest hospitality, , they gave their biped companion the middle ( of the bed, some lying either side of him, and others answering the place of a quilt. Their > warmth prevented him from being injured by 1 the exposure. Toward morning he awoke. 1 Finding himself comfortable and in blissful 1 ignorance of his whereabouts, he supposed j himself enjoying the accommodation of a tavern, in company with other gentlemen. He reached out his hand and, catching hold of ' the bristles of a hog, exclaimed: "Why, Mis- 1 ter, when did you 8have last ?" 1 ? 1 Carpenter's Best.?The following can- I ital hit was made by Judge Carpenter, while j speaking in front of the Columbia hotel, at s an impromptu meeting on Tuesday last. It j has been the custom of many of the radicals to interrupt the Judge by asking impertinent and often insulting questions, but the Judge ' is never at a loss for a quick and cutting re- 1 ply, and seldom fails to cause the intruder to ] hide his diminished head under a shout of de- , risive laughter from the audience. On the night alluded to, a wissen-faced, stiff-collared, , official looking fellow, interrupted the Judge by asking him "if he (the Judge) did, not expect to secure a large practice in his profession, from this campaign, after he was de- i feated for Governor ?" To which the Judge replied: "Well, I ( don't expect to be defeated, but if I am, I shall go to practising law again; and I expect the first case I shall have will be to defend yoo or some other of the present officials of the State in a case for stealing." The fellow wilted, and the crowd, white aud colored, roared.? Union Times.

"Flippity Floppity.?A" country girl once wait to the city to pay a visit to one of her old and best friends; this friend was married to a rich city merchant, and was a leader of fashion. In city etiquette, of course, the visitor was verdant, and made numerous ; mistakes. Her friends wished to initiate her ( fully into the "mysteries;" and as they were going to a large ball, gave her the following instructions, viz: "Eat only one small cake ; and one saucer of ice cream and when your ' attendant presses you to take more, answer that you have masticated a sufficiency, and more would be a superfluity." Things went on smoothly until her attendant asked her to partake of more refreshments, when, to the horror of her friends and the amusement of the company, she answered in a loud voice: I have evaporated insufficiently; and more would go flippity floppity."

CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] REPENTANCE. Prominent amongst the doctrines of the Bible is repentance, and although it is in the crder of nature, not the first grace that is bestowed upon the sinner, it is, nevertheless, not the least in point of importance. Without repentance, no man is prepared to enjoy the blessings of the gospel in this life, nor the I glories of redemption in the life which is beyond the tomb. In the Bible there are two kinds of repentance spoken of. The one is usually called a legal repentance; the other is called evangelical- repentance. A legal repentance, unless it results in an evangelical repentance, never results in the salvation of the penitent. Hence, there i^a repentance which is not unto life, and a repentance which is unto lite. Legal repentance, in the order of nature, precedes evangelical repentance. This is true, perhaps, in every case. This, we are disposed to think, is the teachings of God's word, and the history of converted sinners does not contradict the doctrine. If this be true, it is not proper to say that legal convictions always ipuing from improper motives. Legal repentance consists in the sinner having revealed to him either by God's word, God's works, or Sod's spirit, his sins in their heinousness, and the consequences of his sins. So soon as this revelation is made, fear takes hold of the sinner. His soul is filled with trepidation. This state of mind is denominated conviction. The character of these convictions depend upon a multitude of circumstances. Some individuals are so constituted, or are of such temperaments, that they will be overwhelmed with the turpitude of their transgressions; others will be covered with shame; others will fear the punishment which awaits them as violators of God's law. Conviction always precedes repentance, whether that repentance be legal or evangelical.. Repentance, literally, means a change of mind. Hence, the Scripture definition of it is "a breaking off sin by righteousness." In simple legal repentance, there may be a breaking off of some particular sin or sins; but there is no tuming to righteousness. The mere le*al repentant abstains from sin sometimes for sne cause, and sometimes for another. The individual who is addicted to some sin which is calculated to ruin his health and ultimately lake away his life, ceases to practice it because he feels that the way of the transgressor is hard. Another individual, accustomed to indulge in some vice which is bringing disgrace upon his own name and infamy upon bis offspring, breaks it off because of pride of reputation amongst his fellow men. Such | cases as those just enumerated may, with strict propriety, be called repentance, but they are not examples of evangelical repentance. In every case of evangelical repentance, there is a conviction of sin. No man ever repented who had no convictions. There is another thing in true evangelical repentance which characterizes it clearly from that which is only legal. In that repentance which is unto life, there is always faith. Faith gives the sinner a title to heaven; repentance makes him fit for the inheritance. There may be convictions and conversions where there is no faith. Devils have convictions, and bad men in this life often are the subjects of conversions, but the former have no faith, and their convictions result in nothing good ; and if the conversion of the latter are not preceded by faith they will equally be worthless. In the order of time, faith and repentauce are simultaneous; but in the order of nature, faith always preceeds or goes before repentance. This being true, it follows that repentance is the work of the believer. So soon as the sinner believes in Christ Jesus he is justified, aud so soon as he is justified he is adopted into the family of (jod ; so soon as his adoption takes place he begins the work of change. He changes his manners and customs. Before tl^ese gracious operations took place he was/, child of Satan, and his language, his thoughts, his works and ways were in conformity to the source from which he sprung, and confederations which he held. Now thkt he has been changed by God's grace, h4f>egins the practice which is common to Gils children. Repentances a work?it is not an act. It begins as soon as we believe, and must continue so long as there remains any of Satan's works and ^ays to leave off. Some people labor under a grave and dangerous error when they conclude that they did all the repentance that was necessary when they connected themselves with the church. So long as we sin we must repent. As God gives us more light, we will be enabled to see our sins in a clearer ljcht, and our duty as children, is to break off fmm them. The life of every good man is a fontinued scene of sinning and repenting. There is one fact connected with repentance that none should ever forget. It is this : Repentance must de done in this world. There is no repentance after death. There will be convictions in the next world. The bitterest element in the cup of woe which the impenitent in this world will have to drink in the next, will be that they knew their duty and did it not. Their convictions rend their souls and cause them to gnash their teeth in anguish indescribable. . * + Nearixg the Other Shore.?When after the weary voyage that I first made across the ocean, sick and loathsome, I arose one morning and went upon the deck, holding on, crawling, thinking I was but a worm, I smelt in the air some strange smell, and I said to I the Captain, "What is the odor ?" It is the land breeze from Ireland." I smelt the turf, I smelt the, grass, I smelt the leaves, and all my sickness departed from me; my eyes grew bright, my nausea was gone. The thought qf the nearness of the land came to me, and cured me better than mecjicine pouh} cure me. And when, afar off, I saw the dim line of land, joy came and gave me health", and, from that moment, I had neither sickness nor trouble ; I was coming nearer to the land, Oh! is there not for you, old man, and for you, wearied mother, a land breeze blowing off from heaven, wafting to you some of its sweetness ? Behold, the garden of the Lord is not far away; I know from the air. Behold the joy of home. Do I not hear the children shout ? The air is full of music to ! our silent thought. O, how full of music when our journey is almost done, and we stand upon the bound and precinct of that blessed land! Hold on to yonr faith- Be? lieve more firmly. Take hold by prayer and by faith. Away with troubles and buffetings. Be happy, you are saved. In a few hours, visions of God and all the realities of the eternal world shall be yours, and vou shall be I saved with an everlasting salvation. ) ? "My burden is light," said the blessed Redeemer. A light burden indeed, which carries him that bears it. I have looked through all nature for a resemblance of this, and I seem to find a shadow of it in the wings of a bird, which are indeed borne by the creature, and yet support her flight toward ] heaven.?Bernard.

THE WAR IN EUROPE] < , > The Paris correspondent of the New York j Times, writing on the 3rd ultimo, furnishes a J number of interesting statements in relation J to the battle of Saarbrucken, the movements 1 of the French Emperor, etc. We make the J following extracts: 1 THE BATTLE OF SAARBRUCKEN. . The Emperor, Prince Imperial and General ( Froissard left Metz about 8 o'clock yesterday j morning, took command of the troops on the j frontier, and led them against Saarbrucken, # a small town, occupied by a Prussian garri- ^ son, at a few miles distant from Forbach, (oc- t cupied by the French.) The engagement be- t gan at 11 o'clock and lasted only two hours, j The effects of the French matrailleur is de- ( | scribed as frightfully formidable, mowing r I down everything before it. The French troops bore down with such rapidity upon the enemy's forces that the loss of the latter is insignificant. The Prussian loss is considerable. ? NAPOLEON AND HI8 SON. * Thft Emneror directed the manoeuvres of * the troops in person, accompanied everywhere j by the Prince Imperial. The first impulse of ^ the Emperor in taking his son with him to t the war was regarded as a most heroic one, t and made a most favorable impression upon t the public, but the coolness and intrepidity evinced by one so young has aroused enthusi- ^ astic admiration for him. CHARACTER OF THE WAR. ( I can corroborate the testimony in what re- t lates to the terrible character this campaign i is taking. It is a struggle without quarters or i remission, a hatred of race to race, which de- t raands to be appeased by an ocean of blood t and of tears; the ruin of two flourishing countries, perhaps, consummated, and the world g and civilization in Europe retarded for half a i century. I was returning from Germany ] three days after the declaration of war made c by the Due de Grammont to the French t Parliament, and it would be impossible to de- g scribe to you the state of fury in which the i {>opulation on the borders of the Rhine were > ashed. I felt, myself, the long-tired affections of old and dear friends diminish with a t strange rapidity. I was no longer the friend, e the loved companion, but a Frenchman, that f is to say, the bugbear, the abhorred creature ] above all, by all the Germanic nations. This 1 hatred has broken out in most significant fashinn in t.liin cmridon union of nations onlv vea- i terday enemies, and among whom the wounds t inseparable from a recent struggle were not i yet cicatrised. Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Hesse, i countries conquered by Prussia, in 1866, and ? only a short time since filled with a profound t aversion to the Bismarck regime, rose as one man to the magic appeal, "Let us save Germany against France." The special correspondent of one of the New York papers writes on Thursday, (11th,) & fr^m the headquarters of the Crown Prince an account of ( THE BATTLE OF WOERTH. j The correspondent says: j The swift and skilful movement against ^ i Weissenburg, resulting in complete success to ^ | the German arms, was but a foretaste of the storm which threatened the northern part of Alsace. On the second day after that of Weissenburg came the battle of Woerth, and t the Crown Prince gained a victory over the } ablest General in France. It is adraitted^that the French fought with reckless courage, and that they inflicted heavy loss on their oppo- * nents, but the fact of this hard fighting and t of this heavy loss shows how serious a defeat ^ was sustained by McMahon. BATTLE-FIELD SCENES. [ I traversed the field while the dead still 1 lay unburied on the trampled ground, and e could form a good notion of how the fight had t gone by the ghastly evidence which remained, i Woerth is at the bottom of a fertile valley, between two ridges of cultivated ground, f There is much of wooden land in the neigh- f borhood; and especially behind the French f position on the western side of the valley, there is a strip of forest which forms a cover ] to retreating troops. i The little river Bruder, not big enough in j summer time to float a skiff, flows through \ the village, and a high road comes winding < down toward the village on the eastern side ] of the valley, flanked by trees. Here was the i Prussian position. Stretching far to the right j and left along this road were heaps of spiked i helmets to be seen, and cart-loads of needle- \ guns were collected under the trees. At a j distance the French musketry fire had told < more heavily than the German, and I heard j that the French artillery had been very well ( served. ] PILES OF THE DEAD. I But though the burying parties were busy < with the German dead on the eastern side of 1 Woerth, there was more than an exchange of 1 slaughterous work on the western side. Here < the Prussians and Bavarians had pushed forward in strong force, and their fire had told i fearfully upon the French. The high spirit 1 and rigid discipline of the one army had been 1 more than a match for the desperate resistance of the oiher. Whole companies of Frenchmen had been mowed down in their wild attempts to check the enemy's advance. It had been a tolerably equal fight in some places, for the ground was strewed with Ger- ; man dead; but more and more Frenchmen had fallen in proportion. Blacfc Turcos and : wide-trowserea Zouaves lay thick at many points, apd the cyiraissers had suffered much. There were steel breastplates and brass he]- 1 mets scattered thickly on the line of retreat, while the dead horses in all directions might , be counted by hundreds. And so westward through the wood went the traces of increasing disaster; officers and men lying grimly where they had fallen. Some in quiet, shady spots, as though upon a picnic, seemed asleep. Pools of blood remained where the wounded had been found. There were knapsacks, rifles and overcoats, either ! thrown away in flight or left by the wounded I on the field. Then I came upon a spot where j the French had rallied, and where the dead of both sides lay thick. Turcog were there who had evidently fought to the last, and had tried to fire their pieces as they lay. Frenchmen of the line regiments had here and there j n 11 oa fliAiirrk flimr Knrl liolto/1 i I iaueri in 41mwv? and faced about in regular order. But the aspect of the fields beyond the wood ! seemed to indicate a hasty retreat. Wagons 1 ; were overturned, baggage was thrown out up-j i on the roadside; many knapsacks were to be j seen. No one who had passed over that battle-ground of Woerth when I did, could have ! failed to realize that a great disaster had befallen the French arms, though my observations were made when most of the wounded j had been removed. THE LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES. On so large a scene of action it wog)d have been impossible to judge of the exact loss sus! tained. I see no reason, however, to doubt j the official return on the German side, which gives about 10,000 Frenchmen and 7^00 Germans lwr8 de combat, and 7000 prisoners taken by the victors?4000 in the battle and 3000 in the pursuit. These losses, with the further : loss of cannon and colors, made the battle of j ! Woerth an evil day for France. Well might I 1 the wounded Germans raise themselves to cheer the Crown Prince as he passed, and cry ' that Germany was safe. It will often be told i how the armjes met on the 6th of August, 1 and how ^Jchfahon made his unsuccessful ef-j fort to repel the invasion of 4-hace; how the ; Prussians held the left of the line, and the , ! Bavarians and Wurfomburgersthe right, and how a few Baden troops held in reserve by j the Crown Prince were brought up just in time to share the honors of the day. There j' i was a fierce attack on both sides, it being d?ft j 1 ficult to say which party began the fight, i Gradually, as the German troops pressed 1 round upon their opponents' line of retreat, i the French were forced to so hasty a retrograde movement that the retreat became very nearly a rout. THE NEEDLE GUN AND THE CHA8SEP0T. ? The neddle gun proved itself to be fully the 1 jqual of the chassepot, and perhaps more than < hat?at least so say the German soldiers, < vith apparently good reason. Moreover, the Prussians knew their weapon better, having 1 ong been accustomed to it, and the Crown 1 Prince handled his army so as to make the 1 nost of the deadly fire of his infantry. The < savalry was not used for an attack in the first 1 ustance, but was sent in pursuit when the 1 sneray began his retreat. ? It was a victory due to the patriotic ardor 1 >f the German troops as much as to anything ] n their discipline of tactics, but we must riot orget that the French showed ardor likewise, 1 ind the scale was turned for the Germans at t iVoerth by their intelligent understanding of 1 he breech-loader drill, and by their steadi- 1 less in firing. These matters take time to ( earn. We see the glorious results which 1 iermany is reaping irom ner carerui prepa- * ation. ( THE FRENCH PRISONERS. ; The prisoners were assembled near the first tution of the reopened railway through Weisienburg. I could distinguish many Turcos md Zouaves, among them, though the greater >art were soldiers of the line. \Ve drove past hem very slowly, for the road was blocked vith ammunition wagons, and I noticed that hey seemed wofully discouraged. There were 10 songs and no laughter to be heard among hem, and the few that were occupying themelves iu picking fruit in trees that they had dimbed, had not a very lively air for Frenchnen in such a position as fruit picking. Then :ame the convoys of wounded men moving to he rear. Suffering had made them brothers n misfortune. The Germans and Frenchmen ningled, sat or lay quietly side by side, as if hey were old comrades; the only enemy and he common enemy being the jolting wagon. As we neared Woerth there was a constant tream of wagons, bringing down wounded i *n m j uen, Prussians ana navarians, ?urcos ana i frenchmen of the line. They bore the missry of the road in equal silence. It was rare o hear a cry, though the poor fellows' faces ihowed much pain. They were a sadder sight n their blood-stained bandages than the men vho lay grimlv on the hillside. Woert? itself was a mere hospital, and all he inhabitants were either nursing the woundid or burying the dead. It was an evil fate or the picturesque little place, that more than 100,000 men on one and the other side should lave settled their quarrel so near at hand. Of coming movements, I must not say a vord. The event of yesterday was the cap,ure of the little fortress of Leuchtenburg, vhere a large amount of military stores are eported. to nave been captured. The assailints fired heavily into the place, and we heard heir guns booming all yesterday forenoon. A dispatch under date of August 16, gives THE SITUATION IN PARIS. All parties seem to concur that every conlideration must give way to the necessities of he hour. The ministry is desirious to be ' lesignated as the Ministry of Action. They i vork unceasingly. The new Minister of War \ las done wonders. Within the last few days, ] le has sent enormous reinforcements to the < Vont, and others are following rapidly. Mulitions of war and all kinds of provisions are < lispatched as fast as trains can convey them, i The levy en masse proceeds now with im- ( nense rapidity, to close the organization of \ he National Guard. For this measure, on so rast a scale, no adequate provision had been nade. Routine would probably have accom- ; dished the same operation in time, but the lew War Minister says, and the Minister of , he Interior repeats: "If you cannot get uniforms, go in blouse, shoes, gaiters an^ kepi' i military cap.) "Your ancestors drove back burteen armies, and had no shoes, scarcely iread ; do as they did." Corps of free-shoot;rs are organizing all over the country, and . hose of Vosges are already beginning to tornent the enemy. There is to be an immediate issue of 25'rank notes. Change for notes of ovd^ 50 rancs is difficult to procure; 100-franc notes , ire useless for ordinary purposes. The people here are bewildered at the si- . ence of the government. The preparations . br the defence of Paris are progressing rapdly. The beautiful iron gateway at the enhance of the Bois de Boulogne at the end of . he Avenue de l'lmperatrice is removed. , Blocks of trees have been cut down. The , wall of circuravallation is nearly finished, uni;ing the two formerly open spaces, and pierced with loopholes. The great ditch is dug across ;he road and a draw-bridge is ready to be ^ ihrown across it. Earthworks are also in pro- 1 ;ess of construction in front of what were the * jates, and will now contain the only entran- ' 2es, guarded by sentinels instead of custom { bouse officers. Some of the big guns are 1 mounted and the little ones are craftily con- 1 sealed in unsuspicious corners. Many of the ! barriers are entirely closed, and the people throng the ramparts, holiday-making aud 1 commenting on the novelty of the thing. Notwithstanding all their preparations, an impression prevails that after a French vie- 1 tory?looked upon as quite certain?the nentrals will interfere and make peace, and Paris will not be bombarded. A FRENCH ACCOUNT OF THE FIRST BATTLE OF METZ. The Paris Figaro, of the 19th, has the following details of the battle of Longueville: The battle occurred at Barny, 4 kilometres from Metz, and not at Longueville, as has been stated. The battle occurred on Sunday. Half of our army, which was about 200,000 3trong, was passing the Moselle at that place, on one bridge. The Prussians made a mistake and attacked about an hour too socn. The corps of Generals L'Admirault and De Caon were able to face the enemy in about a half hour from the time the first attack was made. The Prussians had evidently a plan of the fortifications at Metz, but which did not contain any indication of Fort Quentin, for in trying to avoid Fort St. Julien they marched directly towards Fort St. Quentin, which, when they came within easy range, opened a very destructive fire on them. In their confusion, the Prussians retreated an4 came within range of the guns of Fort St. Julien, U'h|cb ft]so opened fire, increasing the loss of the enemy. The Frussiaps then attacked an- j other part of the position, which was defended ! by only one regiment of infantry and a masked j battery of mitrailleurs. The latter iramedi- j ately uncovered and made great havoc in the ranks of the Prussians. The firing ceased at! half-past seven ip the eyenipg, having lasted ; from four o'clock, We had about L0QQ killed and perhaps as many wounded. The Prussians sent a flag of truce demanding an armistice for the purpose of burying the dead. They admitted a loss of 8,000 killed. The armistice was refused. In this battle the j First Corps of the Prussians was commanded j by General Mauteuflel, and the Seventh Corps j by Count Zastrow.' They had 50,000 infantry, 33,000 cavalry apd 96 guns. description of the battle of gravellotte. New York, August 21.?The New York Tribune's special at the Prussian headquarters sends the following account of Thursday's battle: The battle fought to-day, August 18th, we call to night the battle of Gravel lotte. It began at 10 o'clock in the morning and lasted pptil alter 9 in the evening. Until noon it was an artillery duel. The French lines stretched along the hills, covering the two roads leading from Metz to i Verdun, having on their right flank a farm- j house, known as La Villette, with a walled garden, which they held in great force. A sunken road Jed straight from Gravellotfe to the centre of their position. On the French left the rpad wPUPd over the crest of a hill, on I which twelve earthworks had beep throWP : up, Eight mitrailleurs, besides artillery, were posted to command every approach to this strong position, and their guns swept the crowning hills, along which the French lines ran, and up tho valley reach, from Gravellotte eastward, by which the Prussians had to idvance. Behind this line of strong defense | ti ay Forts St. Quentin and Conaeras, a posi- j is ion of apparently impregnable strength, and ii jompletely protecting the French rear. 0 The position at first held by the Prussians k vas to the east of the French, facing towards 01 Vletz, occupying the southernmost road from ? Vletz to Verdun, and reaching over the chain P >f hills lying between Gravel lotte and Rezon- tl rille. The result of the artillery contest was d; jo compel the French to abandon their most s< idvanced positions and the line by which hey had hoped to cover both roads, was w lierced and driven back. is At noon the Prussians were able to push h orward their artillery, the French finding r< iheir guns unable to resist the weight of the h Prussian fire, and the Prussian batteries short- tl y after noon were in position on either side si >f Gravellotte, so that neither of the roads A vhich at that point branched off to Verdun, o lorth and southwesterly, were any longer r< >pen to the French army. I reached the si ield just as this forward movement of the a Prussians had been accomplished. ti * By two o'clock the French batteries coverng the Verdun road from the north and east b vere silenced, and the Prussians had advanc- It jd so far from south of that road as to occupy lc i farm-house at Malmaison, a little northwest ft irora Gravellotte. s< Twenty minutes later the French fire so S slackened and wavered that the Prussian bat- ci series were pushed forward and took up a new P position in front of Gravellotte.* ei At 20 minutes past three the Prussian cav- tl dry went into action, and they proceeded cap- a tally under a hot fire from the French guns, ti The attack was made in considerable fapee by a she uhlaere curiassiers and hussars, but they I ivere at first without infantry support, and ;ould make no serious impression on a posi- o sion naturally strong and still held in force by p dl the army of the French. But half an t; iour later, it being now nearly fonr o'clock sj in the afternoon, a portion of the Third Prus- u dan Corps had come upon the ground. a Infantry regiments were formed, as fast as I shey came, into a position from which a seri- I >us attack was to be expected upon what ap- c reared the key of. the French lines. At four v )'clock the 33rd regiment of the Prussian line ii vas lauched against the same position which d she cavalry had failed to reach. a It moved forward with the utmost determi- u ration, but by this time the French had rein- k forced their defense more strongly, that the si Prussians had the attack, and they still out- v lumbered their assailants, and steadily main- a sained the second line which they had occupied. As different divisions of the Prussian army c jame into position they attacked successively, b rut were repeatedly driven back with heavy t< loss. The struggle lasted with varying forsunes on different portions of the lines until b 5 o'clock the Prussians, massing heavy forces u in their left, attacked and carried La Villette. p THE BATTLE UNDECIDED. V ? 1 . , I TTT 1 1 \ _ .London, Aug. zi.?(special to tne woria.) ? The battle at Kezonville (Gravellotte) was t< without a decisive result. It is claimed by a ;he Prussians, but tbe French fell back to p Metz in good order, their ammunition having 8 riven out. b The losses of the Prussians greatly exceeded h ;hose of the French, the former losing 40,000 tl nen on Thursday alone, Steinmetz s whole I ;orps being literally cut to pieces and his n nagnificent cavalry no longer exists. 1 the situation at metz. n New York, August 22.?F. Gaillairdet, ? n his dispatch to this morning's Courrier des Y itals- Unit, says: It is with much difficulty 1 ;hat I can obtain positive information con- r jerning the situation of affairs in the neighborlood of Metz. Marshal Bazaine still insists >n the necessity of silence. I have myself I seen the latest dispatches from Bazaine. He 9 leclares positively that he is the victor, and 1 that his strategic movements have been ac- v jomplished with success, but attended with h jerious losses. . To sum up, I believe that the incessaut jombats of the last seven days have been favorable to us, but they have not yet brought ibout decisive results. One fact is certain, 0 ihearmy of the Prince Koyal of Prussia con- o iinues to march on Paris. Yesterday it was ? it Yitry le Francaise, and if we may believe j i report which has reached the Corps Legisla- i ;if, it has the appearance of moving to turn the camp at Chalons and fall upon the capi- j? ial. ciialons and paris. The Emperor and McMahon are at Cha- p Ions. They have too great a revenge to take P to permit any movement not likely to be sue- ? sessful. Meanwhile measures are being taken j kv npri Troehn which indicate that we are 3n a point of being besieged. Yesterday he J; issued a proclamation calling on all defenders af the capital to rally to his support, and de- v daring that the hour of danger had arrived. ? It is for Paris to prove to the world, he added, that long years of prosperity have weakened a neither her nor her patriotism. a The armament of the National Guard is complete. Yesterday more than 50,000 guns t were distributed, and Chevesul declared to e the Chambers that in a few days 100,000 Na- ? tional Guards would be under arms. . Grain is arriving in great quantities. The city is provisioned for more than eight months. All this indicates that if we are threatened with a siege we are certainly prepared to sustain it. The people of Paris are in excellent spirits and full of patriotism. They would rise in this crisis to the height of'the situation. Convoys, with provisions, have gone forward to supply both armies. One hundred and sixty thousand men have passed through Paris to the front since Pridfty morning. It is generally thonght there, however, that the | march of the Prussians cannot be arrested ! before reaching Paris. It is said that there , are now nearly 300,000 good troops at and near Paris. It is believed that one more decisive battle gives Paris to the Prussians. marshal bazaine's position. London, August 22.?It is said that Marshal Bazaine is absolutely cut off from his resources. The Prussians are between him and Paris. Gen. McMahon is also believed to be surrounded. the siege of strasbourg. Paris, August 22.?Late advices have been received hoyo from Ernstein, a town near . Strasbourg. The Prussian army besieging Strasbourg has caused the people of Ernstein i' to change the course of the little river 111, in I that neighborhood, in order to stop the supply | of water for the city. The Ueneral in command of Strasbourg had driven out of the defenses all who consumed army stores without affording aid. peace proposals. Paris, August 22.?The Gauloia says that the diplomatic corps now meets daily. The j English embassy in this city is anxiously ! awaiting a favorable moment to introduce proposals of peace. It is said that, let the turn of events be what it may, the interposition will certainly be made, and that before ; the end of this month. . tiie situation at paris. Paris, August 22.?There are preparations for combat all along the lines. Paris is vir- * tually in a state of sjege, and every one ac-! cepts the situation. It is generally conceded j that the issue of the campaign will be decided under our walls, if we are able to hold out for j, a week, and we are able against an enemy f destitute of material for carrying on a siege, i Cannon of very heavy calibre have been mounted on the ramparts, and across the i roads draw-bridges have been thrqwn. Qn | the side of the city towards Passy and Autenil a large number of houses have been de- j molished. Jn short, this part of Paris, onoe i so beautiful, is entirely unrecognizable. On j1 the Yincenpes side J am told the work of de-1 ] fense is pushed with still greater energy, Au I entrenched camp has been established in the !] plain of St. Maur, which commands the pas-! j sage of the Marue, j. The inhabitants of all the surrounding lo- 1 calities have abandoned their houses and ta- j ken refuge in Paris. As for the really effec- j i ve force of the troops to whom our defenses committed, I estimate, upon authentic data, i the neighborhood of 200,000, of whom 15,00 are soldiers of the regular army, 5,000 mnicipal guards and gendarmes, 10,000 sailrs ana marines, 70,000 Gardes Mobile of reirves and battalions de depot, and about 00,000 National Guards, firemen, &c. With lis effective force and provisions in abunance, we can hold the enemy in check for >me time. News from the Army of the Moselle is alays scarce. What I am permitted to send you > in substance this: Bazaine preserves intact is communication with Paris by the western jute. The last battle, delivered at Jaumont, ad no other result Bazaine, greatly strenglened by the vast fortifications of Metz, is ;ill master of the line of retreat by way of lontmedy, Stenay, Vaussiers and the Valley f Aisne. He can doubtless, by the same jute, receive reinforcements, and I have ream to believe that part of the forces lately ssembled at Chalons set out for that destinaon yesterday morning. The enemy's army around Metz had always een superior in numbers, but decimated, by ite battles, is incapable, for the present at iast, of resisting violent attacks. The re-inircements which it has received are compoid of landwehr and levies from the Southern tates, hastily gathered for the invasion of our ountry. The enormous losses which the 'russian army has sustained will hardly be ncouraging to these new comers, and there is le marked advantage in favor of our troops t Chalons, who defend the soil of their counry from the invader. Indeed, we. are all waiting a brilliant revenge for Woerth and 'orbacn, in the military circle around Metz. Prussia seems to provoke a war unworthy f two nations, but one which, instead of selfreservation, she forces upon the weaker parf. She has inundated our country with her pies, and we have been compelled, as a meagre of safety, to expel all Buspected Germans t the risk of injuring some innocent persons, n Alsace and Lorraine the necessities of the Russians and exorbitant demands of their ommissaries have exasperated the people, ?ho, plundered, harassed and abused, have laugurated a guerilla war against their invaers. Moreover, Kin^ William has launched f reclamation declaring that every individnot belonging to the French army and taen in open hostility to the Prussian army ball be shot. A rising of the people en masse rill bring a day of justice for all these insults nd injuries. \ THE DEMANDS OF PRUSSIA. The following statement, from a semi-offiial source, foreshadows the demands likely to e make by Prussia in case of a successful irmination of the war: . "The time has arrived when Germany must e free from French interference and measres, and have a long period of unbroken eace. A mere change of dynasty in France rould not be sufficient to insure this, for the ext sovereign would seek as soon as possible 5 recover the lost military prestige of France, nd the burthens of armed peace would be erpetuated. Suppose France issues from the truggle with strength unimpaired, and with er stronghold ( "hence she menaces the valjy of the Rhine and the Palatinate) intact, be war from which the incapacity of the Yench generals and the bravery of the Ger lan army have delivered will be renewed, 'here can be no trustworthy peace. Not thus iust this costly struggle terminate. We will nly resign our arras when we have guaraneed security against a fresh contest whenever > may suit the political necessities of a French uler to renew it" hohenzollebn again. Madrid, Aug. 23.?The successes or the 'russian armies nave caused a revival of the uestion of the Hohenzollern candidature. ?here are rumors that General Prim is in faor of 8ubmmitting the subject to the people y means of a plebiscitum.
