The question, "Who Is responsible for the burning of Colombia f bas been drawn Into and made part of several cases uow belore the mixed commission at Washington. On the part of the United States, possessed as; it is ot great powers and unlimited re? sources, employing tbe ablest of counsel In all parts ot the country, and with an almost Inexhaustible treasury, lt was a task not diffi? cult to select from among its former Immense military force and place upon the witness stand only those who did not hear the orders given for the burning of Columbia-those who did not see the pillaging-those who did not assist In the firing of bouses-those whose faith in their successful general remained firm. Nor was lt less easy, from among the former slaves of the residents of that beauti? ful city, to find witnesses ready to corrobo? rate the testimony of their Northern trlends. Many of the witnesses of this tragedy are scattered over the South, and lt ls the desire ol the attorneys engaged In ihe case to at? tract notice to the pamphlet, draw the atten? tion of these witnesses, and Induce th3tn to contribute their testimony to the vindication of our Southern obarge, thai the Federal Army burnt Columbia.

The Champion Bushwhacker of thc Franco-Prussian War. The last number ol the _Revne des Deux Mondes has an article which gives his true I place In history to a brave mao, whose career has, hitherto, been misrepresented. Th's ls j Sergeant Hoff, a veteran of the Franco-Prus I Bian war, wno, after having been Idolized by I Frenchmen for bis exploits against their J enemies, was afterwards execrated as a sup I posed Prussian spy. Il turns out that, though long believed lo have been killed as a traitor by the franc-tlreurs ol the Seine, he was then I a prisoner in ihe hands of the Germans, who j were Ignorant ol his Identity, although they j bad set a price upon bis head. The veteran soldier, who did his couniry such good ser I vice and Incurred so much danger and suffer llogokher behali, !s now poor and disabled, I but there ls little doubt that the appeal of his biographer will result in, at least, placing him j above want. The record of his lile ls lnier I eating, apart from Us adventurous ex I periences, as showing the brutal cbaracienot I the acta which, In war, gain fame lor their I perpetrator, whose patriotism, lu such cases, I covers a multitude ef sins. I Wnen the war between Gjrmany and France I broke oui, Hoff, who was originally an Alsa I Han plasterer, was a sergeant at Belle-Iale-en I Mer. Though conscripted In 1856 he bad seen I no active service duriug all those years. Tue I news that his father had been taken prisoner I and shot by the Prussians roused sentiments I ot the deepest hatred and revenge in the sim I pie Alsatian soldier, and led him to volunt. er I to Join the army which was then encamped at Chalons. The letter containing the report ol his I father's death afterward proved to have been I fraudulent. He waa at Rheims after Sedan, I and bad a narrow escape from the Prusiana, I who entered the town )ust alter he and hlscom I panions lett lt? The completion ol the invest I ment of Paris gave Hoff bia first opportunity I of wreaking hin veugeauce upon the Prua I siana. All Parla soon rang with the lame of I the implacable, ubiquitous rranc-tlreur, who I creeping stealthily atong the right bank ot the Marue, picked off the Gerniau aentlnelB by I day with bis unerring ride, and at night spilt I open their heads witn a blow of his sabre. He \ always led tbe way in the most dangerous ex I pedliions, as his knowledge ot German en I abled bim to deceive unsuspecting sentries. I To the "Wer da ?"-who goee there ol the I guard he would give a friendly reply, and I then before the man could advance in the I darkness af the night lo scan the intruder he I was killed by a b.ow of u sabre. I The number and success ol these exploits I soon made bia lame known all over Paris. I The newspapers were full of his dari cg deeds. I Interviewers sought him om, and told the I story ol bis lite. The shop windows were I decked with bis portrait. The government I gave him the highest reward ot a Preach soi Idler, and the ooveted Gross ol the Legion, I which blazed oti his breast, waa at once a I recognition ol his past and a stimulus to iu I iure achievements. The most brilliant ol bis I exploits, some of which recall those of Codes I and Gurlius, waa ihe driving of a Prusaian I outpost from Ihe Ile dus Loups. Doubt? less, there waa a good deal ol exaggeration I in the accounts of what he did, and perhaps the report of bia having killed thirty Prussians in one day with his own band muet be taken cum grano salis: Still, alter making these aiiowauce*. enough I was left to entitle him to me admiration of I bia countrymen, and it waa a strange mia I chance that caused a change in their feelings I towarda him. HU Budden dir>appearnce I while bia lame waa at Its helgtli, led me I mercurial Parisians to believe that he wan a I Prussian spy. This accounted lur me suc I cesslul answers which he made to the cual I lenges of the Bavurlan and Saxon sentries. I It waa now believed that ihe whole thing was a ruse in the lutereat ol ihe invaders. They had sent Hoff, whose real name was Henizel, land who was a lieutenant In the Bi var ian I cavalry, Into the French Iluta to collect and I convey Intelligence ot the si tu ali on lo their I own. The helmets and needle-guns which he I exhibited lo tba Parisians as evidence ot hla I deadly deailugs with their enemies were of I cour se easily procured. By enabling him to I carry out bia plan of espionage, they were I moat efficient means of deception. There was, I however, aome consolation lu knowing thal I the spy was no louger able to do mischief. I He hud been shot oy a company of Iranc I tireurs, and the very spot where his exectt I lion took place was pointed out. In ihe surr I mary retribution which bad been dealt out to I Dim the Parisians forgjt their mortification at I oeing victimized by his treachery. Even at I i Hie late day tbe belief that the simple Alsa I lian soldier waa an astute and wicked traitor I still, exists among Freuen men, and the wrlier I in the Revue dea Deux Mondes baa done good I ser flee lo attempting to dispel ii. ! The Blory of me sequel to his disappearance I ls ai mest as curious as that Invented to ac I count for lt. He was really captured by ihe j Prussians, and lo av?' ' vengeance cun ( cenled bia identily Ubu?- ii name ol Wolff. I In this way lie managed to escape detection I by the German authorities, notwithstanding I thu lact that aome ol his neighbors knew wno I be was. While In Cologne ne waa shown a j copy ol the Independence Beige, In which he j was described aa a Prussian spy. Tue ac I count filled him with rage, and he came near I venting lt upon some of the enemies whom he I bad BO successfully deceived. Fortunately I (or his own lite, as well as that of others, he I restrained hlmaell; but it was not till the con? clusion of peace that he was embled to deny ihe story which had been circulated against him In the Paris pap?is. He was wini ihe troops of Thiers tn their capture ol Parla from the Communists, and then received the I wounda watch have disabled ulm. There can be ltiLieTJuubt that the uppeal of his biog? rapher, M. Louis-Lande, will be successlul in benaii of ihe veteran soldier who, although carrying on offensive operations In rather a navage method, was JtiMl?ed alike by his motives and the usages of modern warfare in ihe way in which he courageously enoouuter ed danger In the cause of bis country. ROMANCE TN REAL LIFE. A Boston Lady Besomes a Princ?..-.A St. Louis Lady Creates an Kieltoment in Europe-A General Unpleasantness th? Result. ' A very romantic affair, In which two wealthy American ladlee are the chief actoia, ls exciting great interest among aristocratic circles In the capital of Denmark. One of the ladies is a native of Boston and the other of St. Lou!-, and ihey are relallveB. The Boston lady was named Mles Alma Lee, but about tlfteeu years ago she married Prince Frederick, ot Scbleswtg-HolBlelu, an impecu? nious sprig of royally, who lound tier heavy Jointure a very convenient means ol replen? ishing his empty coffers. Aller a rather inie IlcllouB married life of seven or eight years, ihe princess lound hersell a widow, without any recognition of her rank. During his life? time Prince Frederick had done ull in his power to obtain this recognition for her, buL wilhout success; and at St. Petersburg and Berlin both he uud she were actually snubbed by the royal families and nobility; and even at the court of Louis Napoleon ihe oouple were not received with ihe honors due io the prince's rank. After railing In every other pluce they flually seined In Vienna, where the Emperor Francis Joseph conferred on the lady the title of couuiees, which, how? ever, was lar Irom satisfying her ambitious aspiration?. Alter the death of her husband she determined io use her own efforts in ac? complishing tier recoguitlou which her hus? band had tailed in obtaining for her, but for several years she was unable to make any en? couraging progress. She travelled every? where through Europe, always calling hersell " Her Hlghuess, the Princeps Dowager ol Schleswig-Holstein," and, lu consequence ol Prince CurlBtlan of dcbleawlg-Holsteln-Augus tenburg having married a daughter of Queen Victoria, she claimed relationship io the roy ut family of England. In London, how? ever, the Queen refused her recogni? tion, and she went to Paris, where she lived lu an elegant villa ou| the Chaussee d'Antln. At Paris she was Joined by her cousin, Miss Agnes Benbolleaux, a young, beautliul and rich daughter of a wealthy St. Louis merchant. Although me princes* was nearly lorty years of age, she was silll of a commanding and prepossessing appearance, and her cousin being accomplished as well as beautliul, and ihe two exercising a lavish hos? pitality, the villa wbere they resided becume the rendezvous ol many prominent Parisians. Prom thia point the princess sent repealed loiters to the Elr.g ot Denmark, demanding that her name should be Incorporated in ihe official list of ih<3 members of the royal tamily. Receiving no answer lo these lee? ters, the B >bton lady and ber St. Louis cousiu went, In July last, to Copenhagen, where they lived lu the same elegant style as in Paris. The "prinoess" engaged the services of several distinguished lawyers, and threat? ened the King with a lawsuit. King Chris? tian IX, however, remained obstinate, probably because he bas been so successful in putting some ot his daughters on royal and Imperial thrones, and hopes to do as well for the rest of them, so that he has no use for relatives descended Irom simple Boston Com? moners. The matter is now belore the Danish Supreme Court, but lt ls doubtful If a decision wi'l be reached in many months. Whilst the princess was devotiog herself to obtaining official recognition ot her title, her beautiful cousin was pursuing conrees of her own, one of which seems likely to terminate very disas? trously to her, pecuniarily. Among the many admirers attracted by her wealth and beauly and vivacity was a Count Bamzau. a you ne nobleman ol higti desce??, but of very limited means. Miss Bertholleaux appeared to show lum great favor, and was frequently escorted by him in public, a circumstance having far greater significance lu Europe than in Ameri? ca. Suddenly a coldness sprang up between them, and lu a lew days the aristocratic circles of Copenhagen were startled by the count commencing sui against her for breach of promise. In his complaint be set forth that she had consented to marry him, and had al? lowed him to place an engagement ring on her Unger; but that when be asked her to name the day for the marriage she laughed In his face, and not only flatly refused to marry bim, but when he expressed Indignation at her treatment, she ordered him out of her pres? ence. In Europe, tbe money consideration cuts a large fleur*- In marriage contracts; and under the laws ol Denmark, If the count suc? ceeds In establishing the engagement with Miss Benholleanx. he will bennie to relieve Iver of the chatge of at least half of her for? tune. It tue la y has been merely amusing herself by indulging in the excitement ol a flirtation, sue win probably pay pretty dearly for her fim ; but as there are generally two sides to a question, perhaps she may be able to show good grounds lor her apparently ec? centric behavior, and thus escape any greater penalty than an unenviable notoriety. A QUEER CONCLUSION. Ar? Men and Women Fond of Each Other? The Pall Mall Gazette Is exercised over the question whether "men are more Interesting io men than women ure, and whether women find more in women to interest them than they do lu men." The Gazette comes to the unwelcome conclusion that the pretended loudness of the two sexes for one another ls the great fundamental hypocrisy of the race. It would be unfair to dwell too much on the circumstance that they mike one another un comlorlable in a way that men never m ake men nor women women, taking thal fact by Itself. This might be . mere result of their being different. But a review of the whole case tends lo establish a general Incompati? bility between the two. Things will have to aller very muoh If men and women are to get along well together. The pretence that they are dying of sheer liking tor one another is not only not proved, it is disproved. Not merely is 'bat kind ot mortality wholly absent Irom the returns, but atter all these centuries the iwo sexes greatly keep alooi irom one another. Whenever you can get a glimpse of their true tendencies, lt comes out clearly enough that men and women are domestic creatures under compulsion. All kinds ot social contrivances have been tried, tbe real purpose of which, no matter how lt may be disguised, ls to sepa-' rale the sexes, and so secure lor each the pleasure of being only In its own society. Tuere is no sacrifice men will uot make to gel this luxury. They will support the costliest clubs, they will smoke, ihey will pretend any sort of recreation from cards down to bil? liards, sooner iban not be apart from women a portion of their time. Tne like thing holds ol the ladles In their own way. The Inability ot the men to stay at home allows their wives to assemble mutual dubs lu their owu draw? ing-rooms, and tbey do so. For one club the men have, the women bave hundreds-Just as many as there are houses. The lr H iii is, ihe Ustos of the sexes radi? cally differ. At home iemlnloe likings pre? vail ano lhere IR no man who Is not more or less aware thal the minor arrangements and wonderful and to him superfluous flllgre-llke ornamentation ol his house, ure not lor him nor ror his sex, but for the other. Just as ilille can ii be doubted thai men and women dress euch for their own sex; that lt ls the ad? miration ol their own kind, not of the oppo? site one. tney lay themselves most out for. Men and women aro In a perpelual condition of surprise, and scoff at eacn others' si}les, both always self-complacent, and altogether omitting criticism ol ibelr own. Conversation equally betrays Ibis natural opposition. Il Hie sexes had real respect for one another, would ihey Indulge in those un? believable complimenta? Neither does ii to Ihoae of their own kind whom ihey honestly like. The urti tidal st j le ot talk wi,ich Is the traditionary custom of ihe sexes ls plainly thal of creatures who do not understand each other and have mutual suspicions. Being strange, Uley betake themselves to compli? ments. A qualification In reference lo the family re? lation, has lo be made. To a man bis mother ls not a woman-she ls a divinity. The like partly holds In a girl ol her lather, and broth? ers and sisters are not ot any sex. But get outside of tills non-sexual circle, and the an? tipathy oomes quickly into play. Boys nearly hate girls, ana the leellng ls returned. O d men care nothing for women ol any age, ex? cept us nurses; old women creep together. Il is only during me central r rt iou of life that the sexes can be said lo be civil to one an? other. In Tact, il nature had not. forced men and women to love each ot tier during that por? tion willy-nilly, and given them that lucred lole and perplexing bribe of children, ll ls doubtful whether ihey would have any mu? tual liking. Love ls ail lhat exists between them. Ii is aaionl8hlng, considering what a com? plete, Intricate, long as-odatlon the bringing up a lamlly ties a couple lo, that they do Dui .".come more really int?male (han they do even lu ihe best cases. Doubt may well be lelt that there are few husbands and wives who, In spite ot all the trials I hey have shared, have not ut ihe not tom ot their heans a sense ol grievance one against the oilier. Il IB all very sad; but lt cannot be helped. The ?exes are a partial failure, and somehow has arisen an enormous exaggeration ot their liking for one another. Looked at calmly, the interest which each has for the other ls wolnlly lacking In versatility; lt ls alike monotonous and small-mere love, in fact. COMMERCIAL NEWS.
