OD the train which left Paris ?his morning sod roached Ostend this )vening, by way of Lille, tho mail car ?iago came with tho. Jmporial arms sfFaoed and the legend, PQate Nationale Francaiso. In Paris yesterday evening die approaches to the Palace of the Legislature were guarded by detaoh nents of the line and squadrons of tho Sendarmerie. The Guards of Paris and ;he National Gnard occupied the centre >f the Pont do la Concorde, and were 'armed in squares around the centre of ;be Place ae la Concorde. No vehicles vere allowed to tvverso the Plaoe de la Jon cord o. The Champs Elysees were ?leered of all oarriages, and a oordon of National Guards stretched across them it the Roud Pont. After the suspension of the sitting, a lumber of persons gradually assembled >n the grand stair caso within the Legislative Pulace, and finally came out )n * he portico in front, waving their mts, and shouting "Down with the itaf?re 1" ?Long live the Republio 1" The shouts were not cohoed by tho Toops, bot the demonstration was taken ip by crowds on the quays, and by other irowds in tho Rue Royalo and along lie Rue de Rivoli by the gardens of ho Tuilleries. These crowds were a tompaot mass from just beyond the Obelisk of Luxor quite down the Rue loyale to the Rue St. Honore, and lown tho Rue de Rivoli to the Rue Castiglione. The shops wero not shut, ind there was no disorder beyond that nerely inoident to tho presence of so ;reat a multitude. About-six o'clock tho National Guard nd the troops of the lino nerf ni the Legislative Palace began to show signs tf sympathy with the people. Shakos rere raised on the bayonets, and cries itterod here and there of "Death to the 'russians 1" "Long live France I" Shortly after a column, perhaps a thou and strong, of National Guards, fully miformcd and equipped, with a baud . laying the "Marseillaise," came down he line of thu quays from tho Pont des* krt9, and pressed on to tho Legislative >alace. The gato keepers made some esistanoo, but finally gave way, and the eoplo pressing iu after tho troops, the rholo enclosure was rapidly filled, and be multitude, the troops still in tho root, and in perfect order, surrounded he whole building, and passed into tho oor-ways and up the numerous stair rays, a number even iuvading the bulld? ogs appropriated to thc residence of the Counsellors of State and other officials, 'he cries of the multitude were in essant. The Emperor's name was nevor icntioned, not evon - in ories for his ownfall. Tho Deputies of tho Left ame out of the hall to meet the people, len embraoed each other with ories of >y, shouting, "Long live France 1" The )eput?es of the Left were soou gathered i a body and set off, amid cries of "a 1' lotti do Ville," for the municipal alaco. Two stalwart workmen in louses and as many National Guards in niform seized Messieurs Picard and lambetta, raised them in the air, and arried them as if io triumph to tho fotel de Ville. The sccno on their rrival was most impressive. Fomo one ad mounted thc towers of Notre Dame, Dd from each of the gray piles floated liree or four tri color flags. The gilded ilossiil lamps of the Palace de I'Hotel o Ville were wreathed in flags, and igh up on each was perched a bov aving a tricolor. Tho vost place itself was a dense mass f people, mingling with whom overy hore were the uniforms and bayonets f the National Gnarde, and of the lino, s the deputies advanced, or were orne up to the facade of the vast build ig, Henri Rochofort came out to meet lem, holding out both hands, with a ry of "Vive la Republique 1" At tht tme moment half a dozon men burst pon from within a window in the oatie, and began throwing out a great *owd of small, whito papers, crying, as icy did so, "Those aro tho voto3 of the lebiscite." Then, for the first timo, cot up a groat cry from tho whole ist crowd, of'Down with tho Empire!" ; was takon up and sent, with a noise ke tho roaring of tho waves, along the nays, and along the Ruo do Rivoli, jth towards the Louvre, and towards ie auoient city of Paris. Down tho reat Boulevards do Sebastopol a pro? cesi?n of soveral thousand troops, irrouodod by crowds of men, women id ohildran, advanced with bands of lusio. Tho procession and its winga lied the enormous street from front to ont of the houses on either sido, and ie music or the banda waa accompanied y tho whole maw singing the Mar illaioe. In all thia time and in all these places ie.shops were still kept open ; the slice were swept in with the - prooos on or quietly disarmod'. I heard bi id I saw no case of violence, no disor ?r, no robb?ry. " . E ver y whe TO the icpost excitement and tho most ex aordinary improvised pnblio order, The Imperial arma were torn down om all the publie bnildings, and in ie or two oases the windows of ahopt ere broken which contained them. i the Ruo Vlvienno a well known mil tier's establishment was (hus menaced lt the proprietress cania out and rei castrated with tho leaders, holding ap . gviu HBTOHOD; Mia ?ayiog, -IT 'trjfct passe* to-day, why shall my windows be broken ?" The men ohored ?nd laughed, the women cried "Vite, la R?publique \n and tho crowd passed on.

Emanuel Arage, who came ont to meet them, and seid : "Citizens, the Empress left Paris at midnight. This palace, the property of the people, ie under the protection pf liberty and the law/' The orown cheered immensely; guards of the National Guard were posted at the gates. The Republic was proolaimed ?mme? diately afterwards at the Hotel de Ville, with the fellowing list ot the Provisional Ministry : Interior-M. Gambetta. Foreign Affairs-M. Jules Favre. Finances-91.

PARIS, September 5.-The following is a sketch of tho proceedings in the Corps L?gislatif on Saturday night and Sunday morning, previous to the closing session already reported : The Corps L?gislatif, which had only taken a recess, reassembling at 1:80 Sunday morning, after an exciting session in tho evening, at which the Ministers had explained the situation. President Schneider said: Painful and gravo news was communicated to us during tho evening, and as President of the House I had a double duty to perform towards it add tho nation. For the rest, by an urgent demand on the part of a great number of my colleagues, you have boen oalled together in ex? traordinary session. I allow, therefore, the floor to the Minister of War, that ho may finish the statement which he commenced during this morning's sitting. Count Palikoa said : I have the pain? Tul mission to inform you what my words before mudt have foreshadowed. The news whioh was only semi official lias become official. After heroic efforts tho army has been rolled baok into So? lan, and has boen encompassed there by such superior forces that it has been obliged to capitulate. The Emperor lias been made a prisoner. In view of ?.his news, it will be impossible to enter upon serious discussion of tho consc? iences whioh these events may in rolve, when I havo been forced to leavo ny bcd to attend this sitting, and my jollcagucs have had no opportunity to lei ?berate. President Schneider proposed an idjournment until tooday at noon. Ho )a;.d the situation imposed on him great huies and he would fill them. But thc Ministry not having yet been able to leliberatc, and eaoh one needing timo io think over carefully tho grave r?solu ions whioh the occasion required, he ?bought it would bo wise to adjourn. Jules Favro said : If the Chamber is )f the opinion that in the grevious and 'rave situation described by tho Minin? er of War it should adjourn until loon, I will not oppose it. But we be? love it to bo our duty to seize the ?ecasion to lay before the House a imposition whioh the existing situation lemands. We will not add one word o the text whioh wo now lay before rou. We move that the Chamber adopt he following resolutions : ''That Louis Napoleon Bonaparte and iis dynasty bo declared to havo for fet? ed the powors which the nation con 'erred upon them." "That, there shall bo chosen an Exe lutive Committo composed of members, he number of whom shall bo fixod by he Chamber, which shall be invostcd rith all the powers necessary to rcpol evasion and drive tho onemy from tho toil." "That Cenoral Troohu, Governor of 'aris, be charged exclusively with tho lefence of tho capital." Tho reading of those resolutions was istcnod to in profound silence. A siogle voioe was raised. It was hat ot M. Pinard. "We have not tho lower," said he, "to pronounce the ?cche?nce." President Schneider returned to his iroposal to adjourn tho sitting until toon, on accouut of tho gravity of what tad happened. Tho Corps L?gislatif agroed, and the ittiog was adjourned. iOmPLiraBNTARY TO ?UN KU AL lt* B. I.KI', Tho New York Express, in common t ngon tho surrender of Sedan, alludes o General R. E. Lee in the following omplimentary manner : "Wo can only ufor what might be done from what real y was dono during our own rebellion, 'be Confederate Gen. Loe, with a half, iakod, half-starved army, or remains of o army, of some 40,000 or 60,000 men, ro all know, hold General Grant at bay eforo Richmond for sorao six months, rith 200,000 men, more or less, and nly surrendered when the commissariat ad distributed the last crust and the ist ounoe of powdor.

The ju?j of inquest have concluded their investigation in reference to the death of Isaac Fraaor, colored, of the finding of whose foody, or rather a por lion ot'his body, I recently wrote you. The result of the inquiry by tho jury WAS that the deceased was. ki Hod by Hugh Boen, Allen JDot?aussuro, Orinen ?eynfour iud Ben. Mccutcheon, aad that Sally Boen, lately, the wife of the deceased was an accessory to tho killing All of the above* named persons, who are co'.oicd, except Bon. MoCutoheoo, have been fully committed to jail to await their trial ; tho last named has not yet boen arrested, but the constables are on his traok. It seems from the evidonoo adduoed at the inquest that Isano Fraser carno to his death some time in July, 18G7 ; that his wife Sally, the next morning after the day on which tho deed is sup? posed and alleged to have been commit? ted, moved with her housohold. furni? ture to a kitohen in the yard of Mr. Jen? nings, on whoso place she and her hus? band lived, and took up with Bcd Mo Cutoheon, ono of tho supposed mur? derers ; that subsequently she became the wife of Hugh Boen, another one of the supposed murderers; that ad interim she told Mrs. Jennings and others that oho had heard from Isaao Fraser, 11 who was living in another State and doing woll. A negro girl who was liv- < ing on tho Jennings' place whose state- 1 ments were in evidence only through. < third parties, as her attendance could not bo prooured before the jury, has -.aid repeatedly that, on the day on which the murder is supposed to have been committed, about tho hour of twN light, sho saw Sally Fraser admit four mon (the same who stand aoouscd,) to uer husband's house, and afterwards" | ?arno out and closed the door ; that, subsequently, Tsaao Fraser, who had returned from his work, oamo to ono of the negro houses contiguous to his, prooured a light and went home, and soon after she saw by the bright light streaming from tho cracks in the house, -hat ho had kindled a fire ; not long tftor this, witness heard a noise in tho louse of deceasod like blows ? struck, .hen tho noiso of a body falling to tho loor, then deep groans ; witness then lotiocd that the fire iu tho house of | leceascd had been extinguished, and all yas silent iu a few moments. Some ittlo time afterwards, witness noticed bur men noiselessly leaving thc houso >f deceased-the saino, as well as die could tell, that she saw enter it. Souio negro boys who, after tho oe. iurrenoo wero storing fodder in thc muse mentioned, (which it seems, was dosed up and entirely abandoned after ho night of the killing,) staled that hey saw whero blood had been spilt or mddlcd on tho floor ; and on raising he planks of tho floor a holo in tiio tarth about tho length of a man was risible, having the appearance t li at. a ;ravo would present were a body disin crred from it. This houso was, somo 'ear or two ago, torn down and thc dace whero it stood has beon cultiv?t id. Tho woman, Sully, persistently louies any knowledge of tho (drouin* tances attending tho death of Isaao, nd denies having said that sho "lind leard from him and that ho was in an? other Stato doing woll."

HOW ADV Kit TI SI NO PAYS. The New York Journal of Commerce ays of one of tho oldest banking hou? es in tho country : "We aro pleased to carn Irom its managers that, they trace n their business the benefits of judi ious.advertising. Any ono would s?p? ose thatsuoh a bank, so long establish d and so widely known, might sell its tills and drafts, and obtain collections nough to satisfy any rcasonablo ambi ion, without a dollar of outlay for ad ertising; and so it might be said of Messrs. Brown Bros. & Co., Dunoan, ?herman & Co., and other leading bank is, whoso advertisements appear all ho year in our columns. Messrs. A. Stewart & Co., who are moro exton ivoly known than any house on this ontinent, pays us annually moro money or advertising their business than any if their would bo rivals. If a hmso is lot well known, it should becomo so by liberal advertising ; and tho hotter it lecomcs known, and tho larger its busi Iess, nod tho moro independent it would oem to bo, the hotter still docs it pay to dvertiso it. Advertising is not only a ricans of success, but it is at once tito vidonco of it and n gtinrantco of its ountinuanco. Many noble house date he decadence of their tindo from tho uspension of advertising." Tiio l? ilti? nore Sun adds : "If this is trna nf such ztensivo and well established houses s those named-and that it is, no one an doubt-*l\ow much more forcibly Iocs it apply to smaller financial, mer ixntile and other businefs enterprises, nd particularly to those seeking to os? ablish a trade."

It is redolent of the times when the Virginia Democracy made Presidents and controlled the country. Let' not this great historic name die out of the Old Dominion." These are the views of the Enquirer, though we may not have clothed its thoughts in language worthy of its daily theme. Having Dover worshipped, in old party times, it tho same shrine with tho Enquirer, tve may not bo able to appreciate its lovo for tho old name, nor fool the same iegree of admiration for it. Bot wc havo no lingering prejudices against it. lavery vestige of that feeling long sinoo lied out ot our heart. Nothing remains ,0 romind us of former conflicts. Even be old scars have been effaced.

But we have a very ;ood name now, and aro getting on very roll. Our people are satisfied. They bink that "Conservative" expresses all hat our party io its organization aimed it.

She waa tired 1 amusing herself with tho pictures ; nd then, coming to the sofa, she caress? d me in her- winning,-ohildlike way. Dear undo, I want you to tell me omething about Josus. Mamma always oes on Sunday nights." I evaded the ucstion, and talked of something else, {ut she would not be put off. Again and gain she would ask : ''Please tell me omething about Jesus." Finding I did ot comply, she said, at length, opening er blue eyes wide, "Why, you know bout Jesus, don't you ?" I did not now about Jesus, nor did I wish to. lut the prattling of the dear ohild led ie to a ?cuso of ray ignorance and ;uilt, and to seek, and, I trust, to find lie dear Jesus, about whom little Mable ras so eagor to hear.-Ex. HUSBAND AND WIFK. Did you evor hear the word "husband" zpluined ? It means literally "the band f the house," the support of it, tho erson who keeps it togother, as a band eeps together a sheaf of corn. f h?i? re mnuy married men who are not unhands, beoauso they are not the and oi the house. In many oases the rife is the husband : for oftentimes it is lie who, by her prudence and thrift and couomy, keeps the house together, 'he married man who, by his dissolute abits, strips his honse of all comfort, is ot a husband, for he is not a house and) instead of keeping things togeth r, he scatters them among the pawn rokers. And now lot us seo whether the word wife" has not a lesson too. It literal? f moans a weaver. . The wife is the orson who weaves. Before our great otton and cloth factories arose, one ot ho principal employments in evsry louse was tho fabrication of clothing ivery family made its own. Tho wou rus spun into thread by tho girls, who rere therefore called spinsters; the bread was woven into oloth by their ?other, who accordingly was called the leaver or tho wife j and another Tem iant of this old truth we discover in he word "heirloom," applied to any old dece of furniture which has come down 0 us from our ancestors, and which hough it may bo a chair or bcd, shows hat u loom wns oneo a most importan rtiole in every house.

Wo hare, in the following lotter from Mr. Linooln, Ibo proof that this is a , falsehood. Il appears in "a fae tim ile of hie lotter to Mr. Alex. II. Stephens, of Georgia, in tho second roi ame bf the constitutional history of the Ut tor. It is as follows : FOB YOUR OWN EYES ONLY. . A fl SPRINGFIELD, III., Deo. 23, 18G0.. Son ?. If, Slvphcns-i MY DEAR SIR :-Your obliging an? swer to my short note is just received, fi and for whioh ploaso accept my thanks. I fully appreciate the present peril the 1? country is in, and the weight of respon? sibility on me. Do tho people of tire South really entertain fears that a Re? publican administration would, directlg ?>r indirectly, interfere with tho slaves, ar with thom about the slaves ? . li they do, I wish to assure you, as once a friend, aud still, I hope, not an eocmj, that there - is no cause tor such* fears. The South would be in no more dan ?er in this respect than it waa in the ays of Woshiugtou I suppose, bow ivor, this does not meet the case. You ,hiuk slavery is right and ought tobe ?xtanded, while we think it ia wrong ind ought to be restricted. That, I luppose, is the rub. It certainly is the inly substantial difference between us. Yours, very truly, A. LINCOLN. A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY. The Count do St. Croix, belonging to me ot tho noblest and Wealthiest amities of France, became engaged, after i long courtship, to a lady his eqnal in losition and fortune, and famous for her teauty. Shortly after the happy, day ras to render two loving hearts one, he Count was ordered immediately to he siege of Sebastopol ; so he girded n his sabre, sod, at the head of his egiment, marohod on to the battle-field, taring the Count's abaenco it happened hat his beautiful affiabood bad the mall-pox ; and hovering between lifo nd death, sho recovered, but found her eauty hopelessly lost. This disoase ad assumed, in her ease, the most viru cut chara ter, anlieft her not only isfigured, but seamed and scarred to uoh a frightiul extent that she became lideous to herself, and resolved to pass he remainder of her days la the'striot st seolusion. A year passed away, when one day he Count, immediately on his return > France, aooompainod by his valet, resented himself at. the residenoe of is betrothed and solicited an interview, 'his was refused. Ile, however, with ho persistence of a lover, pressed the uit, and finally the lady rondo her up earauoe, very olosely muffled in a veil. Lt the sound of her voioe the Count ushod forward tq ombraoe her, but step ing aside, she trembling told him j the tory of her sorrow, and burst into sarc. A heavenly smile broke over bo Count's handsome features, as rats ng his band above, he exclaimed : "It i God's work ? I ara blind 1" It was ven so. Whoo gallantly leading his egiment to the attaok, a cannon ball assed so olosely to his eyes that, whilo IL loft their expression unchanged, and io countenanoo unmarked, it robbed im forever of sight. It is unnecessary D add that their marriago was shortly olemuizod It is said that at this day iny bo often seen nt tho Emperor's cooptions an offioer leaning upon th rm of a lady closely veiled, and they eera to bo nttraoted to the spot by their ive of musio. - German ladies propose, as the di tax of patriotic self saonfice, abstineno rom Frcnoh fashions. -" You look ns though you were beside J y ourself," as tho wag suid to a fop who .appencd to bc standing by a donkey. - When tho Emperor was passim: |< hrough Chalons the soldiers hissed ai dm, whereupon his Majesty turned to he Tranquil Infant at his side and said My son, what geese." ?'Ycs, fathe-,' eplicd tho youthful bullet ist, "bu* 5?n t a pity the Prussians era picking their catho, J." pnom SPARTAN Butta.
