Pew persons who have thought seriously upon the events with which this war bas opened will for a moment give credit to tbe rnmox that the French declaration ol nostiltfiea waa made with a view to the sadden Invasion of Ger? many,, which waa to' be taken unprepared. Bach & notion has been pat forward by certain critic?, who imagine that to thu DW discredit on military plans supposed to be the Emperor's is Ho inflict a fresh wound upon bis moral j ' . character,but tbe circumstances ate absolutely against it. However blind Napoleon III may have been to the national feeling of South Germany, he never could have dreamt that a mere detachment of bia army marching over s the Shine without notice would produce such a manifestation in favor of French po hoy aa to give him any stronghold in the minor king? doms. His advisers, whether good or bad strategists, would of course know enough of - tbe details of their business to be certain that more than a mere detachment of. his main ? army could not be thrown across' the river within a iortoight. . That fortnight, all the world knew, would allow the Prussians at the lea st to be mobilized by corps. Three of these : (those mentioned last week as being pot ander General Her wa rt h ) were close to the. French . frontier, and seven others (Nos. Ito 6, and ' Guard Corps) aeartr to Berlin than a French force-say at Bamberg; tbe most favorable supposition possible for the French in South - Germany-could be. Such a detached army of theirs would therefore be opposed by superior | numbers in front, and be liable to have its ? communications cut by an eqnal .force, if tbe Prussians chose to overwhelm it at onoe, and disregard for this immediate object more di? rect strategy against France. As there is nothing in tnet* conditions that was not known beforehand and as tbe wildest French politi? cian would har Hy expect Ba van a and Wurtem? berg to rise en masse against the Bismarck domination which their people have not yet felt, we may co u elude that such a project could have only ted to the sacrifice, or at least tbe ' great danger, of tbe French force proposed for it, and that, if conceived, it could never have been seriously maintained by military or political considerations.' . The inaction shown np to yesterday by the . French (for the division that attacked Saar? br?cken was plainly only feeling to see bow far ' the Prussians cared to hold that railroad junc? tion) denmonstrates clearly in our view that the war was mr more, as to its exact date, a , matter of impulse than many English writers bave been dispose*- to believe. And, leaving pol?tica aside, it is clear tbat if the Emperor WSB weU informed, he could not, after tbe first few days at any rate, bave expected to obtain j . any great success by discounting tbe brief time needed by the Prussians to cali in their [ TtservwUn and mobilize their thirteen active ? corps. Whilst confessing that we bere come to.conjecture, we see no reason at present to btheve that tbe French will pass- tbe Rhine until events justify that bold step. It is pro? bably considered that the strain of a long de? fensive war would be terribly felt by tbs North Gormans, who may be said to be over-weight? ed for a prolonged* conflict, like the knights of chivalry whoso armor was only designed to be worn in the actual shock of combat. On the other hand, a HOC ces sf ul occupation of the left bank would, though not euppiyin r means to feed a large French army, at leant give the Emperor tbe ?clat ot serving oat bis troops ? tb cir rations ic German villages and watering their horses in German streams. For the present, therefore, we shall be content to view French offensive operations as confined to tbe west Bide of the Rhine, except possibly by way of demonstration. Tbe little somme lately published by the Bake ot Chartres on the Rhine battle-field . might bave remained unnoticed but for the politics of tbe boor. Like another book, that on La Guerre et la Charit?, which several ot of our contemporaries bave been praising within tbe last few days for its timely appear? ance, it was published some months before tbe events to which it appears to be so well adapt ed. It not being within our province to re - view it here, we shall only say tbat it offers a convenient and pleasant Handy hook to the mil? itary aspect and history of the country where it is supposed tbat the hostile armies will meet. La vallee has of course treated of the same die-1 trie, bet his work, userai as it bas been, so thoroughly combines the worst faults of the Frenchman and tbe Professor, is so one-sided, dogmatic, and, in pointe telling against France, so untruthful, tbat tbe Englishmen can never read it without some distaste. That wi? not b? the case with tbe volume of j - the Duke of Chartres, which, like everything coming from his gifted family, is, both in style and subject, worthy of high authorship. We notice it here merely to say that, with all its interest, very little of wbat his passed io former wars io that floe Rhine valley known to modern history as the Palatine bears in any way on tbo events we are now about to ..itness. It ia interesting as a military curi? osity to read, ? specia ly by the light of Napo? leon's St. Helena commen?a, of the long-drawn manouvres Ol Taronne and Montccuculli; but the most interesting feature in their Bindy ie the discovery of their strong feeembianee to tbe Virginian campaigns of 1862-3, or, carry- I ing the same analogy farther, the discovery of j the explanation or this resemblance in tbe half-savage condition of the Palatine, its swamps, Its woods, its sparse cultivation in the days of Turenne. The history of war close? ly studied is a surprisingly faithful index to the history of the nations concerned, and the wars ot Louis XIV, in their main featuies, re? flect the condition if German soil after the. ? terrible straggle for religious freedom which wasted her population and resources. Bot uniese that condition could be restored, and all railroads and roads exe? pt a very /ew be re? moved, the War of Positions will not be re? peated, and its annals afford ns no guidance now. Nor are we mucb helped by the narra? tives, picturesque SB they appear in tbe language of the Duke of Chartres, which tell how the ragged troops of the Revolution won their way to the Rhine despite Austrian sabres and Prussian platoons. Interesting in them? selves axe tbe details of the desperate siege . endured at May euee in 1793 by tbe debris of | Cuati no's victorious army of the y cai- before, who earned .for themselves by their endurance the applause of. the Prussians to whiun they Anally surrendered, and from Frenchmen the title of the Mayeucais. Bat the strategical . lessons which concern oar epoch all come later, and noon examination yield na but very mod? erate help at the present moment. Those of j the years 1795 and 1796 only can bear npon i he subject in hand; for in 1800 and 1805 the Rhine waa merely passed by the armies oo their way to campai gus far beyond, as in 1814 by those tbat invaded France. In 1795, the most important year for pur? poses of comparison, the defence of Germany was oased, as now, upon tho possession of that Briton of tho Rhine ah out Mayenne, aod the ie pas-sage over it through that fortress which Clor.a.t, a fine old Ausinan general, held in bia hands. Tbe Fr no , , bad then, in the double attempt to reduce Mayeoce and live on German sod, got theil armies into three ? ?eparate parts-one investing Mayence on the west bank, the other two operating on tbe right or east bank from distant pointe of pas? sage at (Jobluotz and Mannheim, and en? deavoring to meet between Frankfort and Darmstadt, 80as to shut alayence altogether in. Their failure to do this, owing to some minor actions about Mannheim, m which the Austrians routed the fox ce which was feeling , its way north, enabled demit, relieved for i the time from tte most pressing danger to his rear, to take tbe offensive boldly, fie beat off I Jourdan to the north of Frankfort by oat mancoavnng him, and, as soon as he saw biro' well on bis way to Coblentz turned back from the pursuit, which bis a avance guard cleverly pretended to keep op, and threw oimself into and through Mayence upon the 50.000 French whoiuve ted it, infliction oo them oife of the severest defeats of tho many that the Revo- I rational? armies suffered. Tbe siege, of j coarse,-was raised, and tho whole of its appa? ratus fell into tho Austrian's h-nde. Tn d?, advancing up the river by Ho west bank, he took from the FrOnCii tneir pa-mago at Manu heirn, by which tuen '.hui army iiaJ operated, drove me iatter t'.warJ rurasooatg, and brought the wb?L- cupaiga toa r.uiaphaat conclusion, iao rh.wrwnco ot a great fortress placed ? cheval on a croat stream was never so- compleWy aeinonstraietr, aud ihe campaisru stands out ia Froncu bibi orv ?8 an , emphatic warning against rasti invasions of Germany wade the armt-d central passage of ;??,M?etMai?VlJ ic German bauds. Yet in jm the Archduke Charles did not long at-1 tempt te repeat this use ol ,t. Whether he doubted that the French would again commit the errors of the year before, or whether, BB iras more probable, he over-estimated the forces with which they had passed at Stras? bourg and Cobtentz. it serves not here to in auire. Certain it is that, when he found himself nuable to check the progress of Morean be? yond the former place by direot encounter, be gave up folio iving Clerfait's device of clinging to the river, and carried bis defence of Germany against the double invasion to the Danube, where, as is generally known, he was triumphantly successful. But with the other side of the Rhine he was only concerned for the first weeks of the campaign, and it is to this section of the terrain that all eyes now torn. We know that the Sing of Prussia reached Maye nee on Wednesday, and that on Tuesday there was only one battalion to cover, on tue Prussian front at Saarbr?cken, the junction of th? railroad to Tr?ves, lt is evident that the Prussians conld not have fixed on that ad? vanced part of the country for tbeir concentra? tion. They may have chosen to form one of J their three * mues about Tr?ves, but that would be with the view of threatening the Em? peror in an advance on MayeBce rather than to unite with corps assembling near that fortress. It is noteworthy that we have only heard of one coins arriving on the higher Moselle-a force sufficient to watch the passages through that difficult country, but hardly to do more. Indeed it needs no elaborate argument to prove that, had the Prussian army been con? centrating near the Saar, tht charge of an im Grtant railway junction there would not have en left to an isolated battalion. Whether the French are now in a position te advance is what, after their unexpected delay, we do not -retend to be sore of; but we are certain that their enemies had Lot, np to Wednesday, ad? vanced to the Voa Res, and our historic retro? spect to-day only confirms the impressions we had before, that the real contact of the army will take place between the line of Sarregui menes and Bitsche and the Rhine. The vary narrowness "f the area on which these huge masses of men are closing almost bars to their chiefs the fi-er efforts of strategy, and seems to promise the first success to the hardest fighting and best-supplied army.

RUSSELL, one of our careful and intel? ligent Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to my examination the formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and vended by him. It affords me pleasure to express a favorable opinion of ita safe and efficient adaptation to the particular cases of the diseases of children, which it is designed to relieve. > E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial m Be vere cases of Bowel Oom plaints m children and delicate females, I have been mnch pleased with its effects. I consider lt a valuable medicine in all cases, m which lt may be advisable to avoid the use of anodyne, and par? ticularly for family use, as lt ls perfectly safe. W. T. WRAGG, M. D. CHARLESTON, S. C., 1S6S. Dear Slr-I have used your Soottiing Cordial for Diarrhoea in teething children, and find lt a very excellent preparation. It has a great advantage over most preparations of the kind in containing no Opium or Narcotic. When these are required they can be added in proportions applicable to the case. I therefore caa recommend its use In the affec? tions for which it ls designed. Respectfully yours, Ac, ' ' T. L. OGIER. M. D. CHARLESTON. S. C.. 1868. I cenify that 1 have most successfully usea RUSSELL'S Sootlilng Cordial In the Summer Com plaints of Infants. He has fully exhibited the m gredients of bis remedy, and the tedious method or preparation. I recognize the prescription containing no anodyne whatever-as a most safe and efficacious one In bowel affections of children When much pain or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses of Paregoric can be added to thc pre scribed doses of the Cordial according to the age of the patient. The compound, though more often, acts In an eltlcient manner without any ad ditton of anodyne. ,? in the Diarrhoa of the aged, m increased doses lt is of great value as a remedy; never disagree? ing with thc Htoniach-7-lncreasing appetite, ira proving digestion, and acting as a slow but efil cient astringent agent. W. M. FITCH, M. D. * MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., ?S69. Mr. J. S. Russell : . DEAR SIR-I have used your Soothing Cordia for children extensively in my practice, and mosi cheerfully testify to its merits. I have found u. without aa exception, to accomplish all lt claims, and con'.' '.er it superior to anything in use foi children.

That any Bios man survived the treatment of fifty years ago, must be considered a-proof that human beings are very hard to kill The lancet, calomel, cantharides and drastic pur? gatives were then the order of the day. The phy sic ian played into the hands of the apothecary, and the unfo-tanate patient vas drenched morn* ing, noon and night with prostrating medicines. We live in a more rational and conscientious era. The Importance of supporting Nature in its conflict with disease is now understood. Complaints in themselves weakening*are no longer aggravated by artificial depletion. They are met with TONICS ('that rally the vital powers and enable them to de? feat the enemy. Chief among these allies of Na? ture, in .ts battles with sickness, ls PLANTATION BITTERS. This wonderful vegetable restorative ls the sheet anchor of the feeble and debilitated. As a cordial for the aged and decrepid it has no equal among stomachics. As a remedy for the nervous weakness to which the.tender sex are especially subject, it it superseding every other stimulant and nervine. In all climates, tropical, temperate or frigid, it acts as a specific in every species of disorder which undermines the bodily strength and breaks down the animal spirits. Wherever it is introduced it becomes a standard article -a medicinal staple. Druggists, although their profit upon it is small, find it absolutely necessary to keep preparation .'or which everybody inquires, and for which nobody will accept a substitute. It ls to-day the most popular medicine m the civilized world. Extensively as ?t is advertised, its best ad I ver.iseaen; ls the beneficial result which cni-'ormJy ioilow? its use. Every bottle sold in? sures the saJc of at least half a dozen more. Un? like ether stimulants, it braces and fortines the sjsiem without exciting undue cerebral action, The cheering effect which it produces upon the mind :s sot momentary, but permanent. There is no subsequent depression, lt docs no:, as ls the case wnh all other stimuli, beget a cravmg for ex? citants. On thc other hand, it Boothes and calms the neireslcombining,s'j,ange as the anomaly may seem, ibequaiiUes of a sedative and gentle ano? dyne with those of a tonic and tnvigorant. The perfect purity or ali its ingredients, meir admirable adaptation to the purposes' they are intended to subserve, the "fudlciouu pro portions In which they are combined, and the scientific BkiH with which they arc blend. ed, render this famous article at once the mor. potent and the most harmless of all known tonics and alteratives.
