OSTEND, Septetabor 0.
The Republio has been proclaimed io
Paris. 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.

tier's establishment was (hus menaced

castrated with tho leaders, holding ap

broken ?" The men ohored ?nd
laughed, the women cried "Vite, la
R?publique \n and tho crowd passed on.
Ooo gate of tho Tuillerios on the Bide
of the Seine waa burst open, and the
crowd" pun red In ; but foreborq to enter
(he palace on tho appearance of M.
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

orown cheered immensely; guards of the
National Guard were posted at the gates.

NAPOLEON'S GORPS LEGISLATIF.
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. If that Fronoh

. 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." When tho case
s thoroughly investigated and tho ovi?
lenco sifted, then will bc developed ono

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

In this sign wo oonquor. Oh ! let the
Virginia stripling, although not the
first born among many brethren, be

lowed by so many glorious associations.
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

iegree of admiration for it. Bot wc

lavery vestige of that feeling long sinoo

?hat is more, would adopt any that

ABOUT Ji:st;s.
"Don't you know about Jesus ?" said
ittle Mable, a sweet ohild of six years.
Hie was visiting us and left alone with
ne on Sunday evening. 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. Thus the word
wife" means weaver; and in tho word
tself is wrapt up a hint of earnest, in
loot*, stay at homo occupation,'we ll
ur her who bears this uuuto -[Selected

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.
