The Catholio missionaries, who have for u;any yea.rs been teaching the na)<tive ohtildrn tand making ttny converts, irov,,ked the ho-tility of the na ive pri .a and lower order of mandarins by their suecess. A- a pretext. for the med-it-1 attack, the iissionaries were aceused of kid napping Chinse children and fotoig theut to attend their schools. Stml ies to thi., etlect were cireula ted, It p,art-tts bct;ane alarmed, atnl the p,olutlaCe werte worked up to a great 1 pitch of excitemeut, so that. out of' imore than two hundred children at. tending the) '.chool at T4n1tsin all h ad been3 taken away but fifty or sixty of' tlemi.

At many of the treaty ports tho effietw wa"1 to raise riots, which, however, were quickly ' r' put under by the ellurts of the foreign oonstils, backed by gitiboats. At last. notices woi posted, excit ing the peoplo to destroy the nissiona ry houses and churahes. The people gathered in hundreds, and were soon given to understand by their leaders what was wanted of thon. The Chi. nese authorities, in the meanwhile, as overyhody else at such times, . did noLthiag, or worse than nothing ; they helped on the riot in an underhand way. On the 19,h June A CROWD ASSEMl,MED in the native city, one and a half miles above the foreign hund. A fter a tiae the Frenh Consul, who lived is that, qJuarter, succeeded in inducing the people to disperse. They . moved away, but still exhibited signs of.. hes tility to foreigners. 1)r.

Her body was. TiROWN INTO vTuE tIVER. The Chinese burned the cathedral mld convent buildings, and it Is sup. >osod at least sixty Chinese children aeri,ed in the cellars of the build, mg, where they had fled for safety. Che bodies of the Sisters were thrown iack into the buildings after being tilled, and burned. Their 011TiLRED REMAINS vore afterwards collected by the or. lbrs of Chung, and sent down to the oreign quarter of Tientsin. The butchery did not end here. halmtaison, another Frenchman, liv ng near the west gate, was also kill -d. His wife escaped, and harbored >y Chinese in the same street.

FF:AIs OF TIlE CONSKQUENCE. The Chinese authorities, cowardly as they are oruol, have betrayed ab: jeut fear of the consegneuces of what they havo dono in niany ways since the dreadful occurrence took place. They have requested the Freuch Min ister at l'ekin to namo-his own terms for compeusation. They have a' ked the Russian frionds of the doeceased here to namio their cotnpensation, but were properly answered that they would know that from the Russian authorities. At. Taku they had cour iers waiting, and two hours before the arrival of the Opossum gunboat, on the 26th, her Mijesty's Oonsul had a letter requesting him not to allow the gunboat to fire upon the city. To day ag:ain (27th) his Excellency has asked the British Consul to apply for the acting appointment ot French Consul, when the two could settle all matters between them. Altogether it seems as if the native authorities had taken leave of their senses. lo-r Snw'r.-The hot shot or red hot balls which the French and the Pru,tsians are both reported to have used during the present war are on tirely dilforeut from the explosive projectiles of rockets. They are solid halls, heated in furnaces and fired from coummon guns or mortars. Vhen the cartridge is in the gun a drQp of wet felt is rainmned on top of it.' Two of the gunners (-nnetimcs only one), get hold of the ball with iron tongs and let it roll ioto the muzzle of the gun, and then the cannon is fired in the ordinary manner. In lieu of the wet felt very often a piece of turf is rammed against the cartridge, the red hot ball rolled on top of it, and the gun fired. The shot is searcely ever certain, because the operation of load ing and directing the gun always goes on with great rapidity, and under the impression of imninent danger to the gunners. In former times the felt cover of the cartridge was so thin that the red-hot ball set the catttridge on fire at one, and made the shot go off without the interference of the gun ners. This made it a still more un certain shot, and the new method of a wed of about two inches in thick ness has been adopted. It is used to sct ships and shingle roofs on fire. The new hollow bombshells, filled with explosive matter and shot from how. itiers, have now replaced in almost overy case the shooting with red hot solid ball, and it is very'probable that these explosive bombshells of small calibre are meant when the dispatches speak of rod-hot balls fired into towns. Sodiers, however who served in the late Prussian war- against Austria,att sure us that the Prussians had furnaces in the train of the army to make red hot shot of solid balls.

' Solders,-Tu-morrow will be the 14Lh of August, that nnnihoreary of your triumphant reti.n i to Paris after the glorious campaign which decided the destiny of Austrian ulominatian in Italy. On that day, after your Crimean victories, all Fran:., welcom ed you with enthusiasm, and Europe, d+zzled, salutod you as worthy sons of the grad r.mi:es of tho. fi.4 .;pir . To-day, however, Prursia dires to in vade the saorod soil of the eiuntryi She launohes against you a torrent of men, who have surprised your valor, and, for the moment, triumphed over your indomitabie courage. Lot us inarth again to encounter them. Sol diers of Jena,. against' those same Prussians, so arrogant to-day, 30r fathers fought as one to three ; again at Montinirail, one to six. If any one among you be inflained by that exoit ing tuemory, let him set - an exaniple to all Frenchmen. The Saxons, the Vurtemburgcrs, tht soldiers of the Rhenish ex-Confederation, groan at boing compelled to lend their arms to the cause of Prussia. They know what littlo respect that power hawfor the rights of peoples. After absorbing millions of Hauoverians, Danes and Gu mans, she will not hesitate to ab sorb the remains of Southern Ger many. Insensates, a moment of pros perity blinds them I The oppression or humiliation of Frenchmen belongs to them. May they have entered France only to find their graves. Sol diers, we shall have to deliver fierce and bloody battles; but with energy and putriotism the country's honor will be safe. For every Frenchman with a heart, tho momnent, has arrived to conquier or to die. NAPOLEON. How Tlr NEws WAS I;acEiv:.r IN BERi.IN.-A correspondent vriting from Berlin on the 7th instant. thus describes the manner in which EL' -in telligence of the viotory ay v onetb was received there: The oupital apparently sees once more in all their glory'he July days of 1866. The 1 rench prisoners were just on the point of quitting Berlin, when new jubilation was heard through the city f'ro'n one end to the other, and everybody streamed yes terday evening towArds the Linden. It was well known there that some thing now had occurred, but nothing further was known, and the masses rushed to the front of the royal pal. ace. Thero Govcrtor-General von Bunion appeared on the balcony and read the dispatch annonnoing the vie tory at Woerth. Cries were raised for the Queen ; and as the exalted lady stepped forward and bowed on all sides, all those underneath, as if by preconeerted arriingement, sang with one voice Luther's famous hymn, "Eine fese Burge is unser Gott." It was an indescribably beautiful scene, { which even the rain, which fell heavi ly for about twenty minutes, did not materially spoil. CUT TO PI?Es.-A most frightful death, of which Colonel John Sooby, a well known citizen of this- county, was the victiw, ocurred at Spring~ Place, six miles from Nashville, on the Lebanon Pike, last Tuesday.

The General, in response to a ques lion as to hiis Opiion of matters be tween France and Prussia, said tha aeit her party understands war as he understands it. Here the reporter of the Times von tured to assert a cordial endorsement o. the remarks of his Excellency. "Perm,t me. General," said \tr. Scammon, "to ask you to point ow what you conceive to be the chief blun. ders of the campaign thus far ?" ' France," said the General, as he hghte<d,a fresh cigar, mtde a blunder n comimiensig 'var pon a people of equal sia and strengthe. The true way to maky war is to always have three to your enemy's one. An illustration of the (act, was given at Shiloh. The enemy there was within a third as large ts my own force. Hence the disaster which befMi me." "But, General," said the reporter, "have you'no faith in manouving or strategy, whereby inferiority in point of tiunbera can be equahized by superiority of-brains ?" "None whatever. Sherman played that out in his march to the sea. You see, the Confederacy was a mere shell, and that-is why ho met with such suc oease. He had no opposition. My own experi.nce - proves thie. In all cases where attempted any of tiwse now fangled operations I was beaten." Here Mr. Col'ax, with a very sweet amile, inqtired as to what the General thought should be done by Napoleon. "My idt4," said the General, "is that he should get Butler and Banks to com mad army corps in the Prussian forcess. Then ho should conscript every French. man that can'carry a mu,ket and send him in. Prussia has only thirty million mnhabitants, w bile France has fort y mil lions.. This is a clear difference in favor of France of tent millions. Now, let Napoleon keep hammering away 'at the Prussians if it takes all stimmer. I am of the opinion thtthe superior activity of the French, aided by their chassepot, their elan, their traditions, and their supbribt na'vy,'will enable them to kill a .Prsussian as often as they can a French man. Hence it is a clear case that if Napoleon hammers away till all the Prustians,are killed off he will have ten nllions left. In other words, his cat's tail is tbWe lotigeit." . owhat is your opinion -of Napoleon personally. ?" asked Mr. Joseph, Medill.: "He is a. gre}t, .man, ie smnkes a'lway,,and never sny,< a,ivie:ag. li .

Bill Gurney, one of the most so. comia.lishod and t ocessful counter feiters thia country has over prod need, was urrested in New York on Thurs duy. Tho Staudat d of that city says: Colonel Whitley, chief of the Uni ted States Government detective force, hits, ever since the discovery of co'iuterfeit twenties on the National Shoo and Leather Bank, been endea." voring to find the guilty parties who made the counterfeits and put them out. It will be recollected that they made their appearance about two weeks ago. The intelligence of their discovery was tolegraphed to every newspaper throughout the country Captain Jourdan, through the polio force, informed every merchant, store and shopkeeper in the city before dark, thus putting them on their guard. In ordet to find the guiltyr partles, Colonel Whitley concocted the following plan, which was carried out with the above success: He sent one of his assistantato Jake Buck, an old and well known "koni acker," or seller of counterfeit money, who purchased from Buck one bun dred collars of the o uuterfoit twen ties. A few days afterwards he bought four hundred dollars of the same, and again he went to Jake and proposed to. purobase three thouaand dollars more. Buck told the detective that he could not supply him with that amount then, but a faiend of his would do so the next morning, and agreed to meet the detectives at the Tenth-street Ferry on the East River. At the appointed time and place Col. Whitley had his officers stationed ready to pounce on the new comer, as he believed it would be a priucipal of the gang. He was not disappointed. Bill Gurney presented himself with three thousand dollars in counterfeib upon the National Shoe and Leather Bank in his pocket. le proved to be the very man Whitley had been look. ing and hoping for. CoTTON IN GICORGIA AND TENNESSF.L -The Columbus (Ga.) Sun of the 26th instant., says; A short trip into the coutry has en abled us to realize the extent of the disaster which has recently ovortakei the Cotton of Georgia and Alabama, more especially where it had been manured.: By this disaster the entire crop that bloomed since July is lost. In many places the plant presents the appearance of being dead, and all, or neat-ly all the bolls open, many lire maturely. This is terrible on those who bought fertilizers on a credit to be paid out of the product. In many instances not enough will be made at. present prices for the staple, to foot bill for fertilizors. Few men through out the whole seetion, we are satisfied,' can foot. expensive bills for cultivation at a price below thirty cents. The commercial editor of the Mem phis Avalanche, writing on the 20th instant, says: The oQudition of the cotton orops are less favorable than they were a week since. Continued heavy rains are doing cotton fields injury, filling them with grass, and rotting the ma turing bolls. Several planters from the valley lands South of us are gloomy over the prospect. lThe hill crepe have sustained much less injury, and dry weather fromu this out may yet afford as great a yield as the piokmng eapacity can get out.
