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

iissionaries were aceused of kid

At last. notices woi posted, excit

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.

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

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

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.

describes the manner in which EL' -in

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.

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,

Another Ilnterview--Grant Makel Som
More Disclosures.
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."

Arrest of the King of Counterfeiters.
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.
