An official decree has been issued for the purpose ol enforcing discipline and order. The most vigorous and stringent measures have been taken with that view. Court-martials will replace councils of w ar during the continuance of the war. There will be no reversion or alteration of the sentences pronounced by the court-martials. Article sixth provides that all deserters, murderers, spies, thieves and pillagers shall be punished with death; also provides the same punishment for any soldier who threatens or disobeys a superior officer, or loses his arms for the purpose of avoiding a combat. During a fight any commissioned or non-commission? ed officer is authorized to shoot any soldier detected In a cowardly action, or who does not assume any place to which he is ordered, or endeavors to create a panic. Any non-military person participating in any of the said offences may be subjected to the death penalty. Each army division will be accompanied by a force of gens d'armes. The provost marshal may issue orders to enforce these rules, and may, upon his own authority, make arrests. The whole of the decree is applicable to r.ll the armed forces of the Republic. Prefects and mayors are ordered to proceed p at once to mobilize troops, reporting progress every three days under pain ol revocation. These decisive measures are heartily ap? proved of by al! the population here. The government is much preoccupied in finding means to prevent disorders at Lyons, where persons who have usurped authority have just sequestrated the property ol the religious corporations. English War Reports. LONDON, October 3? The Prussians have pushed their scouts be? yond Ville Juif and Drouey. The French gunboats on the Seine have fired on the Prussians who were burning the woods at Billaucourt. The firing from Forts de L'Est and 5t. Denis have dislodged the Prussians at Chateau de Storres and Le Bourget. The Prussians have thrown up works at Dugry. It isjjeported that in consequence of the vote in the Leonine City having been cast unanimously for the ridership of Victor Emanuel, the Pope will take up his residence in Malta. Archbishop Manning, in a sermon at Westminster Cathedral, delivered on Sunday last, likened Victor Emanuel lo Pontius Pilate. SAD NEWS FOR THE SOUTH. General Lee Stricken with Paralysis. WASHINGTON, October 3. The condition of the telegraphs and railroads prevents the confirmation, or obtaining de? tails, of the foUowing dispatch : RICHMOND, October 3. The Lexington Gazette painfully announces that General R. E. Lee was stricken with par? alysis on the 28th ult., since which time he has been altogether speechless. The entire com? munity are bowed with sorrow at this affliction to the old hero, which they regard as a mourn lul event to the State. WASHINGTON ITEMS. WASHINGTON, October 3. The revenue to-day ls $1,125,000. The fee of five dollars for passports is abol? ished. A. N. Young, of Kentucky, has been ap? pointed Consul at St. Jago de Cuba. T?E LOSS OF THE CAPTAIN.

SKIFF & GAYLORD'S MINSTRELS.-This cele? brated troupe gave the first perlormance of the season at the Academy of Music last night. Their entertainment was, as usual, excellent, and the several artists acquitted themselves to the perlect satisfaction ol their large audience. The panthiopticonicaoi Professor Schaffer has been augmented since the last exhibi? tion here, and among the new views presented are two very fine ones of Charleston scenes-our noble orphan asylum, and a very fine view of the burnt district, apparently taken from cither St. Michael's or St. Philip's steeple, and showing the ruins of the Cathe? dral. This last view called forth the most en? thusiastic applause, as did also one which im? mediately succeeded it, of General R. E. Lee, and another of Louis Napoleon. The^Academy is now In far better condition than it ever has been. Additional windows have been cut and other means ol more com? plete ventilation have been provided. THE VIGRISIA FRESHET. Fm t li tr Particulars ot thc Inondation. RICHMOND, October 3. The Hood has gone down, and the mer? chants are calculating their losses. It is thought this morning that half a million will cover the loss in the city, but not in the towns above. AFTON, near Greenwood, October 3. Accounts coming in from this county (Alber? marle) represent the destruction of property as immense. Many lives are lost. The flood in some instances swept away entire families. The number of lives lost in Albemarle Coun? ty, as far as heard from, is fourteen. The amount of destruction of grain, tobacco, barps, fences, cattle, hogs, houses and mills, ls incal? culable. The number of mills and dams de? stroyed within the range of the flood is about fifty. In the upper valley of Virginia the flood was so great that it carried cows and hogs be? fore it like so many chips of wood. It was particularly severe along the Chesapeake and Ohio. At Shadwell a mile of track was washed away. There are some dozen landslides be? tween Cobham and Millboro', and eight or ten bridges arc washed away. The road ls dam? aged to the extent of one hundred thousand dollars. At the Mountain Top House, on the summit o? the Blue Ridge, the kitchen was flooded by water. GREENWOOD, VA., October 3. It rained very heavily again all day yester? day and last night, and an augmentation ot the flood below may be looked for. Owing to the destruction of mills and the interruption ol railroad"communication much suffering among the poor in the inundated districts is reported. Breadstuffs have advanced. Passengers from the blockaded trains will be sent to Charlottesville to-morrow, and tnere .ferried across Moore's Creek and the Rivanna to connect with the train on the opposite side. The road between White Sulphur Springs and Millboro' is open, but between Millboro' and Keswick, a distance of eighty-five miles (?) the road ls impassable, aud so injured by the flood that travel caunot be resumed for two weeks, although General Wickham has all his available force at work.

THE TORCH IN NEWBERRY FRUITS OF THE TEACHINGS OF SCOTT, CREWS ,t CO. Thc Radical Nominations for Edge. Geld. . [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT] COLUMBIA, October l. On Thursday night, the 29th of September, the residence of Colonel Thomas J. Lipscomb, of Newberry County, was burnt with Hie torch of incendaries. Threats ot the same had been heard repeatedly since the Newberry and Laurens excitements began. The night was raioy, and no dres were ia the house irom which the conflagra? tion could have come. It occurred about 3 o'clock of that night; that is to say, ol Friday morning. Colonel Lipscomb's wife and chil? dren were left shelterless in the rain at that hour. The loss was almost complete, from Hie fact that little assistance could be had. Of the twenty negroes living on the place, only two lent any aid at the fire; but these two served faithlully and energetically. My informant was present at the time, and knows the facts he states. The Radical County Nominating Convention Of Edgetleld have just made their nominations. The meeting was called for ll o'clock, but it was 3 before a temporary chairman could be determined upon. The most active and no? ticeable element in the earlier portion of the meeting was the contest between Eichelberger -the Falstaff of the Black Brigade of Edge field-and Prince Rivers, for the nomination. Outsiders who were inside say that the votes were counted by them, and that Eichelberger got 39 and Rivers 36; but the former was de? clared elected ! After a deal of wrangling, however, the meeting got st!? led, under the influence of Colonel Elliott, who, it seems, turned the tide in favor of his sable brother. The nominations made are : For Legisla? ture-T. R. Rivers, colored, incumbent; J. A. Barker, white; William Kennedy, white, of the constabulary; Samuel Lee, coloreil, incumbent; L. Cain, colored, incumbent; Sergeant Greene, colored, irom Columbia. For County Commis? sioners-James Harding, white; Robert Sentel, white; Phil. Dozier, colored. For School Com? missioner-J. FI. MeDevlt. white, present sher? iff. For Coroner-D. A. Fosket, white. Of all these twelve nominees, only two-J. A. Baker and Phil. Dozier-are from the coun? try. The other ten are from the Courthouse or from Graniteville, except the one-Ser? geant Greene-from Columbia. This sort of thing does not go down well with the country voters. CORSAIR. -The Railroad from New Orleans to Mobile, one hundred and thirty-eight miles in length, is rapidly approaching completion, fifty-eight miles of the eastern and twenty-two miles of the western end being finished and in running or?er.

LONDON', October 3. The Prussians are slowly closing around Paris, but so far have made no attempt to bombard the city. The Prussian garrison at Strasbourg consists of 10,000 men. Arrangements are progressing to bombard Paris from Ville Juil, Genneville and St, Cloud. The Strasbourg besieging army has been divided. A part goes to Lyons, and a part to Paris. The correspondent of the London Times be? lieves that the reduction of Paris will require considerable time. Important from London. LONDON, October 3. The diplomats at Paris will ask twenty-four hours' notice before the bombardment com? mences to enable them to leave the city. The government at St. Petersburg, to quiet apprehensions, announce, semi-officially, that a Turkish war will not involve the neutrality between Russia and France. The Russian newspapers are unanimous for a settlement of the Eastern question, and the abrogation of the treaty of Paris. Diplomats say that Gortscliakoff and Bismarck have probably solved this problem. A French Canard-Details of the Death of thc Duke of Nassau. ? OSTEND, October 3. The report of a French victory on the 27th, purporting to bc signed by Gambetta, Is en? tirely discredited. The Duke of Nassau was killed on tho 24th while riding with King William and his staff from Rheims to Chalons. In the thickest part of the woods there suddenly rang out a double volleyof musketry from an ambuscade of Franc Ureurs. The third carriage, containing the Duke and his staff, was riddled. The Duke died on Sunday. One of his aids was killed and another mortally wounded. The fifth car? riage, containing the King, was struck by sev? eral balls, but none of the occupants were hurt. The woods were scoured, bul the as? sailants could not be found. The Election in Rome. ROME, October 3. The voting on the Plebiscite is progressing quietly. Out of 47,000 votes only sixty-six are against Italian unity. NIGHT DISPATCHES. Prussian War Reports. FURRIERES, October 3. Bismarck has published a statement that the report of Ure conversation between King Wil? liam and Hie Emperor Napoleon, given by "Bull Run*'Russell of the London Times, and extensively copied over tuc world, is founded throughout on mere invention. BERLIN, October 3. Thc North German Gazette denounces the priests as the source of the antl-Pi usslan feel? ing In the South German States, and charges that they are the instigators ol' revolt, murder and hostile alliances. The Prussians took five hundred prisoners In tlie action of Saturday before Paris. General Burnside ls in conference with Jules Favre and Washburne at Paris. Later advices state that Paris ls orderly. The requisition that Strasbourg should quar? ter S000 German troops has been com muted Into a money payment. NECFCUATE, October 2. One thousand Prussian cavalry have gone to Join the corps forming at Toni. The German army which recently crossed the Rhine near Mnlhaus ls marching on Schles tadt, and will occupy the entrance lo ihe val? ley of St. Marien. English War Reports. LONDON, October 3. The Prusians demand 100,000 francs from each French department ironi which Germans have been expelled. The prefect of Lyons has been Invested with plenary powers for the preservation of order. The populace support him enthusiastically. Another body ot' Germans have crossed the Rhine, moving towards .Mnlhaus. A corps of 100,000 Germans is now iormlng at Toni to operate against Lyons. The Prussians assert that thc fire from the forts around Paris is vigorous but harmless. It is supposed that the object ls to delude the Parisians into the belief that au effective de? fence is progressing. Another account from Paris says the French loss on September 30th was twelve hundred killed and wounded. Among the wounded was General Guillaume. Three hundred pris? oners were also taken. The French forts were almost silent on Saturday and Sunday. French War Reports. TOURS, October 3. , News from Metz confirms the reported ex? cellent condition of Bazaiuc's army. The prefect ol'the Department Du Nord tele? graphs an account of a recent battle from Lille on October 2d. He says : "I have dis? patches from Paris by carrier pigeons, dated September 30, saying: -Our troops to-day Look the offensive, making a reconnoissauce in force. They occupied Moville and La Haye, and advanced to Thias and Cloisy-Croy. All these positions were solidly occupied by en? trenched Prussians, protected by cannon. Alter a short engagement, oar troops retired ID good order. The Garde Mobile behaved ad? mirably. Our loss ls considerable, as was that of the eneury.'" The dispatch is signed by Troclui. Minister Cremleux, addressing Ulric, said that the government had decided that neither territory nor fortress should be ceded to Ger many. This expression is favorably comment? ed upon. The French troops on thc left bank of the Rhine (?) are well disciplined and effective. CHATEAU DUN, October 2. The Prussians are near Palay, in the Depart? ment of the Loire, and have also approached Epernay in strong loree, but retreated before the Mobiles. The.

The relations between Austria and Russia leave nothing to be desired. Ji -.^ The Eternal City. ROME, October 3. Later returns give 50,000 votes for union with Italy and 500 against. Several monks and priests voted yes I The city is Illuminated and the best order prevails. The services of the guards at the voting places were not needed. The workmen voted in a body. THE CREAM OF THE WAR NEWS. The Grand Review In Paris. A correspondent ol the London Dally Tele? graph thus describes the review ol French troops In Paris by General Trochu on the 13th ol September : At nine o'clock in the morning the different battalions began to rendezvous. The Garde National Sedeulaire assembled in companies at some open place convenient to their quart? ers, and thence marched to the general ren? dezvous ol' the battalion. When I tell you that No. 130 is one ol the strongest regiments, you will believe that the National Guard of Paris is no trifling force. Each battalion numbers fifteen hundred men or over, and there are more than a hundred and thirty o? them. How many more I don't know, nor, apparently, does any one else, who la willing to tell; but I can guarantee to you that the S?? dentaires alone, without counting mobiles, regular troops, sailors, marines, Francs-tl reurs or other corps, count more than two hundred thousand bayonets. Assembled at their appointed stations, the battalions moved up or down the boulevards and the great thoroughfares to the several spots where General Trochu had appointed to review them. Thence arose that deluge of bayonets which so Impressed the Parisians all the morning. In every possible direction, north and south, east and west, this way a?d that, on the pavements, In the roadway, by transverse streets, by right angles, by acute, by oblique, the sea ol' bayonets pressed on. The smallest ripple of all the eager wave was of live or six hundred men; the greatest was ol twenty thousand. Hour alter hour they blocked the streets, and their white bayonets crossed each other in the strangest of orderly confusions, os one great mass pushed east? ward and another west. I watched them on the boulevard till my dizzy eyes grew tired. When General Trochu galloped past, doffing his k?pi at ea<-.h minute to the enthusiasm ol the crowd, we hoped that something would take place to rest our gaze awhile. But no! The cenerai might come and the general might go, out the Gardes S?dentaire went on forever. We strolled up the little rise of the Boulevard Montmartre. Below us, on either side, as far as the eve could reach, a stream of rifles push? ed onward. Down the dirty Rue St. Denis was another heavy mass waiting for a passage. Down the Rue Montmartre the head ol'a third was visible. We passed to the Rue Rivoli, and there, marching in the contrary direction, was a column miles and miles in length, and the fieople shouting everywhere, and songs rising n broken fragments from the troops, and flow? ers falling from window and balcony, and drums beating, and shouts of "Vive la R?pub? lique I" passing up and down the street like waves ol a perturbed ocean. I would that William, King ol Prussia, had beheld the sight; he would, no Tonger have thought or talked of Alaric and Rome after an hour ol yesterday's review. As I have already told you there was no general massing of troops and no manoeuvres. Each battalion, or group ol battalions, was assembled in some large place or street, and then General Trochu came to meet it. The order ol'the day was kept by the Gardes Mo? bile, who stood side by side along the edge of the pavement for a space ol nine miles. Some ol' them passed along among the Gardes S?dentaire, and the rest fell In behind them, and took their portlou ol' the plaudits. IL was a sight, on the whole, which could be describ? ed only as superb. Under Crcsar's regime we have many a time beheld displays far more Impressive in Hie pomp of war. But lt was the interminable array of these citizen sol? diers thal struck one with real awe. The offi? cial accounts ure dumb as to the uumbers Tro? chu saw, bul I should put them down as at the least three hundred and filly thousand men. The Ravages of (he War, A correspondent of the London Times, wri? ting from Bouillon, September 13th, says : Your correspondent with the array ot the Crown Prince, in describing the battle ot" Se? dan, said that never before in the world's his? tory had there been seen such a butchery as went on during that great fight. I believe lt may also be affirmed that never did a contest In arms result In such lerrifflc cousequences to the surviving combatants and to the pe?plo whose country lias been made the scene ol' hostilities. For miles around Sedan one sees nothing but destruction and ruin; and from ?uornlug till lar into the ulght. processions of the maimed and wounded are passing from the French frontier into ihe neutral territory ol' Belgium. Sedan itself is ono vast hospital, and between that town and Bouillon, a dis? tance of about len English miles, there is scarcely a church or a house from which the white flag and the red cross ls not now waving to make known that there are wounded inside. But it was at Bazellles the greatest havoc marked the final struggle between the Prus? sians and McMahon's. army. The Prussians set lire to it. A handsomer or more prospe? rous village there was not in the northeast of Krance. It was small, but it coutainetl an in? dustrious population. Abjong ihe buildings were a magnificent church anti Irom twenty to thirty house'* ol' considerable pretensions iur village residences-houses of Cnen stone, and having elab?rale bronze gates and doors. Baz ellles is now as complete a ruin as Pompeii. Indeed, lhere are houses at Pompeii in a bet? ter state of preservation than any at Baz? ellles. Not a roof or floor remains in any one of them. The Prussian shelia did lheir work so well that even the front walls of Caen stone have been blown and burnt lo fragments, which now block up tho pavements and all but cover the roadway. Even in the lanes off thc main street every habitation was utterly destoyed. No human "being could now lind shelter in Bazellles. When a troop of Prussian lancers rode through it yesterday no sound was heard there but the trumping of their owu horses, and then; was not a living soul-man, woman or child-of the happy population who dwelt there lillie more than a week ago. The Prus? sian* suv they destroyed Bazeilles because the Inhabitant had tired upon them from their houses. TJiis is denied by the French, who say that Hie shots which came hom the houses were tired by the regular soldiers and the Garde Mobile. Be this as lt may, destruc? tion was never more, complete than at Ba? zeilles. Thence to Balm, and also lroiu La CliaiMillo to Balm, thc country, ls u complete waste. Crops aud orchards have disappeared, and thc farm-houses are riddled by bullets. Rifles and caunon both played their part at Balun, and thence on to se? dan, a distance ol'about na English mile. Dead horses abound all along the route; chassepots lie about in hundreds; there are shakoee, hel? mets and cuirasses In heaps, and knapsacks and cartouche boxes enough for a whole reg - ment. In the vicinity of such spoil I observed scores ol' men wearing the white badge and cross, whoso work was not administering to the sick ?ind wounded, but seekitig for any? thing worth Unding. Some ol' them wore sol? dier's knapsacks. Numbers ol these men and of other badge bearers, whom I hate to meet upon the battle-field, are evidently mere tour? ists; while not a few of them are downright rascals. I have been told that they have rob? bed the dead. Some of them are villanous looking enough for anything. General War Notes. The downfall of Louis Napoleon recalls the cutting repartee which he Is said to have re? ceived from Lady Blessington. The Countess had belriended him when he was a poor ad? venturer In London, and went to Paris to be .near him after he had become prosperous. Much to her chagrin, he paid her no attention, but one day when their carriages were abreast In a thronged street, Napoleon said, "Count? ess, how long do you expect to remain In Paris ?" She answered, with dignity and omi? nous wit, "Only a short time. How long do you expect to stay here ?" The telegraph has performed a very Impor? tant part In the present war. Each Prussian army has a telegraph division, consisting of three station wagons with ten systems ofap paratus and the necessary batteries, six requi? sition wagons, and necessary vehicles for equipage. They carry with them material for six miles of'telegraph. The personnel of each division consists of an engineer officer, be? sides a second officer aa assistant, twelve gov? ernment telegraph officials for working the apparatus, and the necessary number ot pio? neers for the restoration or erection of tele? graph lines. In the advance into France scarcely did the enemy disappear on the fur? ther side ol the valley than these telegraph corps began their work in order to secure a rapid means of communication between the different portions of the army, as well as to keep up a connection with the States telegraph. As a rule these telegraph pioneers erect one mlle (German) of telegraph In four hours, or under favorable circumstances in two hours, such ls the perfection of t heir organization. The North German Correspondent mentions the following case, illustrating the pitiless manner in which the order expelling Germans from France was enlorcod : A German sculp? tor, called K?nig, wbo\ had lived six years In Paris, received an order on the 20th of August to leave France within three days. His aged mother lay on her death-bed, and he sought, but was refused, a temporary permission to remain tor his wife and dying parent. On the third day two police agents appeared to con? duct the family to the railway station, and with great difficulty K?nig obtained a delay of two hours. The poor patient was prepared, as well as possible, for removal, but expired in being borne to the carriage which was waiting at the street door. The sculptor's wire earnest? ly begged permission to remain in Paris till her relative had been interred, but her en? treaties were In vain, and the corpse was com? mitted for burial to some of their neighbors in whose hearts all human feeling was not quite extinct. The unfortunate sculptor, in his dis? tress, applied to Prince Metternich, who coldly replied that he could not Interfere. Ulttrric?.

Men? tal distress ls also a fraltrul source of the break? ing down of thc constitution, and the ravages or this enemy to health are truly alarming. For all such maladies HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS have been found unsurpassed. By acting directly upon the digestive organs, they remov? the heavy, disagreeable feeling after eating, so ofteu complained or by persons or a delicate temperament. As soon as digestion Is restored, thc patient finds his strength increasing, and his general health Improved. Thousands or persons certify that It may bc relied on In all casas of weakness or nervous debility attendant upon sedentary habits. Thc generality of Bitters are so disagreeable to the taste that they are objectionable to a weak stomach. This ls not the case with Uostetter's Bitters, which will be found mild and extremely pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and roots con? tribute their restorative Juices to render lt sooth lng and strengthening. Its basis ls thc only pure stimulant which has ever been produced, con? taining no fusil oil. or any other deleterious ele? ment. jThc most careful and skilful chemists have analyzed thc Bitters, and pronounce them harmless. This ls scientific testimony; but the testimony of the hundreds of thousands who have experienced the preventive and curative effects or the Great Vegetable Tonic and Altera? tive or modern times ls still more conclusive.
