' -The great decrease in immigration since .the commencement of the European war ls >strikingly illustrated in the fact that, so far in August, only -1728 Germans and 59 French have arrived ot the port of New York.? As re- J gards the German emigration, the disastrous effect of the war, lt ls stated, ls already felt In the Weat. -The subscriptions in New York city to aid fthe soldiers of the French army and to relic-? "the distresses caused by the war amount to $11,075, o? which $10,000 are through the treasurer of the national committee, to bc handed over Immediately to the Sisters of | Charity, ' to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded. ' ~~* ' -An enterprise which was looked forward to with, much Interest-the annual Interna? tional exhibition of 1871 at London-will almost-inevitably be abandoned. Neither France nor Prussia can spare time for anything but the great struggle in which they are en? gaged; nor is any other power likely; in view of po&slble contingencies, to devote, much at- j .' . tent lon to an international exhibition. -Fifty German sailors, employed upon thc Bremen Une of : steamers, sailed from New Yo rk upon on Inman steamer oh Saturday for tie scene or the European war. They ore en? listed by the North ' German Consul, who bas provided transportation for them. Hundreds j crothers are said to have offered their servl ces, bat because none of them were Germans the consol decided not to accept the offers. -Murat Halstead writes, that this is the way lt ls about the war : "Both nations waited war long ago.. It ia necessary to know which ls the pre-eminent military power.- The military .systems of France and Prussia are to be tested | .in the combat It ls a duel of giants, and the talk of the personal responsibility or Napoleon pr of Bismarck ls all twaddle. Then it is not particularly the courage or quality or the blood Of the two peoples that ar? to be determined. All the world knows that bravo men grow on both -sidos of the Rhine, os they grew in Greece, not only within but without the walls of the Eur otas. The main thing to bo tested ls the merit of the respective military systems of the contending nations." -The printers' strike In Son Francisco ended in a disastrous defeat of the strikers.. The Ty? pographical. Union there has adopted sixty cents per 1000 ema, tho rate prevailing before the strike, for composition on work in day? time, and sixty-five cents for composition on morning papers, it also so amended the rules -as to permit members of the union to work in offices where non-members are employed. The result ls more emphatic, because the prin? ters combination was so formidable as to com? pel immediate surrender on the part of every aewspaper In the State, with tho exception of | the Bulletin and Daily Call. The proprietors of. these, journals promptly denounced the strike, as uncalled for, unjust and ruinous, and gave notice that they would fight the movement to the bitter.end, and that no strik? ers should return to their places on any terms. -France takes financial hard times by thc forelock. She has made the bills of the Bank of France a legal tender. This measure need pot necessarily be followed, if the war be not greatly prolopged, by any depreciation in the currency; although its remoter effects on the finance and commerce ol the world may well engage the serious attention of the publicists everywhere. That Prussia will be obliged to follow the example of France is quite certain. Her financial resources are by no means equtd to those ol France, and the expenses of her government are necessarily enormous. It is noteworthy that the Prussian war loan of 120, 000,000 thalers, which has been now some ten days before the public, has not yet been taken up. The adoption ora legal-tender paper cur? rency puts Franco by the side of Austria, Italy, Russia and Greece. Holland. Belgium, Switz? erland, Sweden, Spain and Portugal aro still without the blessing. -On Friday last there were nearly 8000 fac? tory operatives uon the street" at Fall Fiver, Massachusetts. This is the result of a strike among the cotton hands. The City of Fall River ls noted the country over for its im? mense production of cotton goods-almost wholly print cloths-no less than twenty mills running over half a million of spindles, and 12,000 looms being occupied with this manu? facture, producing upwards of 100,000.000 yards per annum, and giving employment to probably 10,000 operatives in the various de I partments. The strikers resist a reduction of from Ti to 10 per cent, on the wages ot the spinners and weavers. The mill-owners ex? press themselves perfectly satisfied with the condition of affairs. They declare that at this season they only care to run for the sake of keeping the machinery in trim, and that their mills were not paying them at the old wages; therefore, until the demand for goods springs up, they are willing to remain idle. The mill owners say they will not yield. The spinners say that, under the old scale of pay, a man could not earn over $10 50 a week; some could make $12, aud others only $9-the fair aver? age being about $10 50. Tbc Letter of Judge Orr upon thc Polit? ical Situation. A certain indulgence is properly due to the man who, in better days, has done the State some service. The past has a claim upon the present, and that claim has always found, in this State, a frank and generous recognition. Upon this ground, if upon no other, we should have been induced to allow the political letter of Judge Orr-printed in another column-to appear without com? ment, had he confined himself to an explana? tion of the solid reasons which induced him to take, just at this moment, the political leap which for more than two years had been in preparation. IL was expected of Judge Orr to declare his adhesion to Scott and Ransier, and now that there is no doubt of his position, his closest friends are re? lieved from some embarrassment. There is no disappointment or mortification about it; but when Judge Orr, in defending himself, attacks the Union Reform party, and invites the people to walk "very quietly and very "conscientiously" into the ranks where Scott is captain and Whittemoreis second in com? mand, this paper is forced to maintain its own position, and to uphold tho cause of decency, honesty and truth. It is not denied that Judge Orr has an un? doubted right to concoct a political address upon any and every convenient occasion. While the newspapers continue to print, and the people continue to read, a political pro? phet may well continue to write. And yet, we are tempted to ask, what reason has Judge Orr for supposing, as he evidently does, that his counsel is either desired or valued by the people whom he betraj'3? In November, 1866, Governor Orr bitterly denounced the Fourteenth Constitutional amendment, urging the General Assembly to preserve their own self-respeot, and the respect of their posterity, "by refusing to be "the mean instruments of their own shame." Pour or five months later he swallowed the whole amendment, General Sickles included, at one gulp; but, at the same time, exhorted the people to have nothing to do with the South Carolina Republican party then pro? posed to be formed, ls the earlier repudia? tion of the Fourteenth amendment, orit3 later deglutition, Judge Orr's claim upon the good opinions of the State ? In April, 1867, Judge Orr, at the anniversary meeting of the Charleston Board of Trade, declared that Congress "made a mistake when they "extended the suffrage to the colored man," and said that "if you open tbe door for all "to vote, you give an opportunity for bad "men to use their influence. " Now, he pro? claims his'Support of Scott and Ransier. Upon "which of . the two utterances cloe3 Judge Orr rest his claim to popular favor ? Seeking already for the suffrages of the freedmen, Judge Orr, upon a memorable oc? casion, delivered an intemperate address be? fore the Reconstruction Convention, which address, if forgiven, is not forgotten. Surely this cannot be the reason why Judge Orr cracks the whip over the backs of men, the latehetof who3e shoes he is unworthy to loose ! The people of the State have been chari? table in the extreme. They did not blame Air. Orr when he accepted office as judge under the Scott administration. It was thought that he might, on the bench, promote security and discourage lawlessness. And no ono doubts that Judge Orr has been a hardworking and zealous judge. But he and Scott became fast friends. The satel? lites, of the Ring boasted that they had caught the biggist fi3h in the political pool, and that the new judge would talk out in due time. It was soon admitted that Judge Orr was the tool, or the accomplice, of the Ring in more than one railroad transaction of no doubtful propriety. The peoplo began to whisper that it was still true that men had their price. And in the case before us the terms of the bargain are well known. Judge Orr gives to Scott and Ransier his public 3upport; and Scott and Ransior, if elected, will support Judge Orr for election to the Senate of the United States. There is nothing, we maintain, in the late political career ot Judge Orr, nor in his personal conduct, that should entitled hi3 opinious to weigh in the scale for one mo? ment against those of Carpenter, Butler, Kershaw, and their supporters. The whole sad story is told in these few words: A man who has ruined himself, in both public reputation and private esteem, uow exerts his whole power to compass the ruin of his people._ Sober Views o? tbe War. We publish to-day the fir3t of a series of careful articles on the Franco-Prussian war, from The Saturday Review. These articles will be continued from week to week, and, as reproduced in TUE NEWS, will supple? ment, in a very welcome and necessary man? ner, the disjointed accouuts brought us by the cable, which, while often contradictory and in a measure unintelligible, are always incomplete and unsatisfactory. 9Ir. Stephens on the War. THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES-ITS CAUSES, CHARACTER, CONDUCT AND RESULTS. By the Hon. Alex. H. Stephens. National Publish? ing Company, Atlanta, Ga. The high official position held by Mr. Stephens during the Confederate war, no less than his distinguished ability and his large political experience, made it emineutly proper that he should write a history of the, great struggle which changed so entirely the social and political aspect of the Southern States, and produced a lasting impression upon the minds of the whole people. As vice-President of the Confederacy, Mr. Stephens had an opportunity denied to nearly every other Southerner, of knowing the most secret details relating to the con? duct of the war, while his acknowledged ability and breadth of thought enable him, in justification of his people, to expound the causes of ,the war, both near and remote, and to place upon record the doctrines and sentiments which led the Southern States to seek security and redress by the act of se- ] cession. Both North and South were ready to give credence to his statements of fact, and to receive with respect hi3 expressions of opinion. No wonder, then, that the suc? cess of the first volume of Mr. Stepliens's work was extraordinary, its sale reaching sixty thouspnd copies. In the first volume Mr. Stephens couflned himself exclusively to an elucidation of the causes of the war; but in the second and concluding volume, now published, he nar? rates the story of the war, giving especial emphasis to the action of the Government of the Confederacy, or to what may be called its secret history- For the first time a full account of the earlier days of the Con? federate Government, and particularly of the Provisional Government at Montgomery, is given to the world. The vexed question of the exchange of prisoners has much new light shed upon it, and the narrative of the conference between President Lincoln and the Confederate Commissioners, at Hamp? ton Roads, ?3 the fullest and most valuable yet given to the public. Mr. Stephens was the principal negotiator on the Southern side, and his statement will bc accepted without cavil or dispute. The form of the work, as already pointed out, is awkward and clumsy, but this small blemish does not detract from its sterling value and great importance. Mr. Stephens writes calmly and temperately, without acri? mony or partisan feeling. In the privacy of his home he has been able to review the past iu all its length and breadth, and the result i3 a work which adds the graphic charm of ? a romance to the judicial severity of history. This work upon "The War between the States" should be found in every Southern household, both as a record of the events of the most pregnant years of our history, and as an official statement, from the Southern stand-poiut, of thc cansos and reasons of Se? cession. The book is sold by subscription only, and agents are wanted in every county. W .financial. A N T E D STATE SOUTH CAROLINA BONDS. Northeastern Railroad Binds. Cheraw and Darllnzton Railroad Bonds.

QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we first in troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac There is hardly a eity or town of any note in the country into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally increasing demand la owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further Improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be lleve that they stand wi th o nt a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Bsans. La short, we think it the best thal is made, at least, this ls the decision of the best judges In "?ni coun? try. We don't pretend to compete m price wita many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
