NAPOLEON'S MANIFESTO.

His Views on the Situation-He Desires
the Defeat of the Prussians, even at
the Sacrifice of HU Dynasty-Germany
has More Interest In an Alliance with
France thai, in Her Ruin-Why a
Magnant monti Policy Should be
Pursued.
La Situation, an Imperialist organ in London,
published on Tuesday last the following under
the heading, uThe Ueas of the Emperor." Im?
mediately after the failure of negotiations with
Favre, Bismarck sent to Wilhelmshohe an ex?
act report of the intewiew. The Emperor,
upon receiving Mils, shut himself up in his
cablnent. The same evening Castelnau set
out for the Prussian headquarters with the fol?
lowing note, wholly In the Emperor's hand?
writing:
WILHELMSHOHE, September 26.
In sending rae news every day of thc event??
which have happened since the hour when
Providence compelled me to surrender ray
sword, the Kim: has to ask the opinion of his
prisoner' ou the trials which the Prussian
annies impose upon France in what he believes
to be the Interest of Germany. The Count's
(Bismarck's) communications co mi rm me lu
this opinion.
But is the time Indeed come for me to re?
spond to this twofold expectation by the ex?
pression ot my thoughts ? Until the 4th o?
September the reserve, to which I have adher?
ed since Sedan, was due to my firm resolution
to leave the Empress at full liberty to act in
accordance with the purposes of the country.
Since the 4th ol September 1 could not but
wish, that France, even at the sacrifice of ray
dynasty, should succeed in driving the Invader
beyond ber natural frontier. [There ls proba?
bly an omission here. "They," in the next
sentence, refers to the Provisional Govern?
ment.-En.]
In approaching the Count as they did, in a
way the-result ol' which was easy- lo foresee,
they misrepresented the real character o? the
war, thinking thus to be rid ot responsibility
for a general impulse to the influence of which
my government had felt bound to submit. The
result was to destroy the effect ol' the motives
which they have to refuse the conditions of?
fered; it was, above all. to paralyze the na?
tional defence at the very moment when it
was about to assume proportions worthy of
France.
-Tim Omi? apiitnf!!) to bennaware that the
armistice refused was necessary lo the recon?
struction of a regular gov ernment, and he ?3
astonished tbat no one ot the powers legally
existing should have given its opinion upoii
what lie considers "a proof of tile King's mod?
eration." No one could blame a Frenchman
for having repaired au Imprudent step by re?
fusing to accept proposals little In accordance
with our glorious past. A duel like this which
is being fought between France and Germany
can only be brought toan eud by the complete
ruin of one of the two adversaries, or by their
close and honorable reconciliation.
First ol all, then, the Count ought to ask
himself whether Germany has more interest
in the ruin than in the alllauce ot France. If
admitting the former hypothesis, Germany
does not believe that France is able to lind
safety in despair-even thomrh Europe should
consent to remain an Indiff?rent spectator of
an invasiou that has no fixed limit.
My interview with the King authorizes me
to think that he much prefers an alliance with
France to her ruin; tbat he is not without anx?
iety as to the results ol'a struggle carried to ex?
tremities, and that he estimates at their true
worth the rights which a perfect knowledge ol'
tlie sentiments manifested during the war by
Hie different nations ot Europe would give lo
the two countries once closely uuiied. It' such
were in reality the Kind's opinion, lt would
only remain tb point out the means ot giving
it effect. But does it indeed belong to the con?
quered so to define the obligations ortho con?
queror t :iat bis generosiiy may not seem mure .
burdensome than his demands ?
I can only remind the Count that a mag?
nanimous policy never appeals in vaiu to thc
heart ol'the French people, while nothing is
ever obtained by an effort to touch the chords
of egotism or ol'lear, which will remain unex?
cited whatever reverses Providence ?nay in?
flict upon us.
France, if a generous liue of conduct should
incline her toward a close and honorable alli?
ance with Germany, would bethe first to agree
that lhere was no longer a reason lor the ex?
istence of a line of delence commanded by for?
tresses between the two empires. As for Hie
sacrifices France would have lo endure beside,
she would not. agree lo make them were she
not permitted to understand the immense ad?
vantages which accrue to the two nations from
a peace of which their own will would hence?
forth be sole arbiter.
In this view, the Powers, obliged to hold
themselves completely aloof so long as France
shall preserve a hope of success, would have a
serious reason for intervening.
The frank and clear statement of the truth
which I always made, established betweeu
France and myself a current ol sympathy
which nothing will ever be able to destroy.
Were I to ailina that our honor has no stain
to fear from a reconciliation based on the dis?
armament of fortresses then become useless,
and on the principle of a war indemnity to be
settled by experts, I believe peace would be
possible. These conditions may prevent
France from having recourse to extremities
which a caprice or chance might render lalal
to the social order of Europe.
Taught by experience a sound appreciation
of the divisions by which she is lorn, and de?
livered from the scourge ol' war, France would
be swiff to see aud admit that her misfortunes
are clue to her want ol' political unity, and that
she must henceforth seek her prosperity in a
strict regard to tue inviolability of her institu?
tions. '
These considerations will dally have les?
weight, especially it" the King hesitates to lake
them into account before attacking Paris. The
terrible shock which Providence has per?
mitted between Germany ?ind France may
have struck out a spark which progress will
find useful to the moral and material safely ol'
Europe. But il on both sides they persist in
looking to force as the only solution, there
will surely spring out ol' thia shock a formida?
ble unknown {un inconnaredoitbtaOU) as much
to Hie misfortune of Germany us there has
been ol' misfortune 10 France. NAPOLEON*.

Before Sedan, September 1, 1870.
I'rocltunatlon by the Crown Prince or
Prusrila.
The Crown Prince ol Prussia has published
the following address to the Germans:
Through ^reat victories ot the annies the
hope ol'a glorious peace has been won fur the
German people. On the battle Held ol' France
the nation has become conscious ol' its ;rreaf- i
nc^s and union, and this gain, sanctified by
I he blood of inany thousands of our warriors,
we trust will keep its binding power lor all fu?
ture time. But tu the enthusiastic outbursts and
emotions of these weeks have come also I Oel?
ings of deep sorrow. Many of the liower of our
youth, many of the leaders of our anni-, have
fallen victims of the victory, and greater still
is tile number ol' I hose who, from wounds and
excessive endurance and exertions, will be
unable in future to i?nin their livelihood by their
own efforts. They above nil. ami those whom
the dead have left behind them, aud Ihe living
viel ?ms or the war, have a claim l o the gra?
titude ol' the nation. Whoever has shared the
enthusiasm ot Cds contest; whoever, Irom
the rising up of our whole people In '.heir
might, hopes for a new happy era ol peuce,
und whoever in our victories and the defeat ol'
ou.-foes worships a judgment of God on high,
let him uow prove his fidelity to Hie warriors
of our people's army and their families. Help
irita the Slate alone, however tully it mav be
given, will not snllice to support the l?rue
number ol' the invalids and their families
Thar, help ouly affords what ls absolutely
necessary and unavoidably confined lo general
normal rules, and cannot attend to the need
and wants of the individual. Great efforts of
voluntary help will be required this time, for
huge as the success have been the losses of
the war. lu Hie same way in which this war
has created an uniform aud united German
army, in which sons ol all the German lauds
fought in brotherly emulation of bravery, the
care for the iuvalidsaud helpless whom this
war leaves behind must become the common
business of Germany, the north and the south
of our fatherland taking a like share la lt.
Former experience has taught that it does no;
suffice with generous hearts to oller dona?
tions of money. Na)', not less Impor?
tant and more difficult are the proper
distribution thereof, the kind considera?
tion of personal circumstances, jud, most
important of all, the precaution, that the
assistance rendered shall not weaken instead
of stremithen the power to earn which may
still exist, and that lt really prove beneficial
for the life ol those assisted. Toe "Victoria
National Invalid Fund," which was founded in
1868 throughout the largest part of Germany,
having answered this purpose, and having
been found effective In Its organization, I here?
by authorize the executive manager ol' that
lund to take In hand the organization and
management of an "Invalid Fufad of Ger?
many," and to call for contributions and the
establishment of branches thereof. ? His Majes?
ty, the King, commander-in-chief of the Ger?
man army, as in the years 1864 and 1866, has
given me his consent to this patriotic enter?
prise. This time lt has been my good fortune
to lead an army into the field, in which the
Bavarian, the Wurtemberger aud the Badener
have fought side by side with the Prussian,
and I may address myself to the hearts of all
Germans. May this work of love be a com?
mon labor between us for our Fatherland, and
may it be thc introduction to majiy united
and blessed works ot peace !

The Path of the War-Appeal to the

The London News' correspondent forwards
the following translation of an appeal to all

the authorities of the neighboring arrondisse?
ments, and which ls to be forwarded to Eng?
land, America and Germany for publication as

?Advance Copy of an Appeal to bapubllshed.J
To all neutral nations, and to tpose among
belligerent nations who have not suffered
hostile invasion In the war of J$70:
We, the people ol those portions of France
which are occupied by the Gordian armies,
more especially of the departments Moselle,
Meuse, Meurthe and Ardennes, call upon von
for aid. Not for aid to enable'tislo destroy
Hie. but for aid to maintain human lire, now
and ufter the .advent of the peace which all the
world desires. Most genere us sympathy for
the sick and wounded has been manifested by
those whom we now address; munificent hands
have poured healing balms upon the direct
victims of war's dreadful engines; brave heans
have interposed to slay the sweep ot the Des?
troying Angers scythe; while yet other mise?
ries, a little farther from view, but wider far lu
their threatened extent, have been overlook?
ed. Tlie people of France depend for their
subsistence on the grains which they raise and
the callie which they breed. In the sections of
country that have been traversed by the German
armies nothing remains of the provisions that
had been accumulated in time ol peace. Our
houses, stables and burns are burned or riddled
with cannon shots. The fields or meadows ure
trampled down by the tread of embattled
hosts. Neither cereals nor grass have been
harvested this autumn. All our beasts of bur?
den, all our beeves, sheep and swine, have
been taken from us. Our laborers ore either
pressed into the French army as soldiers, or
into the German army as teamsters. There
remains not even seed corn. We arc destitute
of strength to prepare the trampled ground for
peed for next years harvest; destitute of ma
I terial to sow; destitute, in many places, of
ground to HOW upon; as miles upon miles ot
territory are made Inviolable by the plough,
bi" reason of t li? Hacreil and terrible seed of
human corpses with which they have been
sown. Starvation stares us in the face now;
famine and pestilence are the legacies which
war will surely leave to ns for the coming win?
ter aud spring; the cry of children begging the
lather lor bread, which he laasaot, is already
upon the aJriJtthUfrttM taaj?-6fnousoless wid?
ows and orphans, falling upon the open field
where these unfortunates camp, prevent the
blood-spots irom drying.
You, our British brethren, know the com?
fort aud security of a laud where "every man's
house is bis castle;" you have, for centuries,
not felt the ravages of Invasion; fancy the de?
struction of all your means of subsistence, aud
then reluse, If you can, to help-and help
quickly-your neighbors who are perishing.
You, our American brethren, must know the
desolation lu which we live; yet you have
been quickly restored; your country ls uutu
rally rich, ours ls naturally poor; our resonrce|
hear no comparison willi yours; the sufferings
here will be ineffably greater than it was wita
you.
You, our brethren of the entire hu mau
family-not oven excepting those of victori?
ous Germany, who surely, we believe, do not
wish our annihilation-we implore you, come
lo the rescue.

[PROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
CINCINNATI, October 2.
Here we are la the Queen City of the West,
recovering a little, on this quiet Sunday m orn
lng, from the continued excitement of our
Journey and subsequent reception, wondering
whether it has not been all a pleasant dream,
and only aroused to its reality by the arrange?
ments for our departure to-morrow posted
upon the "excursionists'bulletin." Since Mon?
day, when we left our old city, we have been
living in one whirl of excitement and pleasing
transition from one pleasure to another, and'|
we have seen and learnt, so much of our coun?
try that you must start from Atlanta with us,
and, travelling over our route, Judge for your?
self what a delightful trip we have had. We
arrived at and passed through the "Chicago
of the South" Tuesday night, about 6 o'clock.
"Dark," (you will say,) "so there was not
much to be seen." But Just keep \our eyes
open and look out from the car win?
dow. We see the enormous rolling
mills, with dozens of tall chimneys vom?
iting out flames; we hear the Unceasing
groans and crashing of vast machinery at
work. We see huge machine shops all lighted
up, and men working away like demons, ap?
parently in the midst ol flumes and hissing
furnaces. Wo look to the right, as we pass,
and dimly make out the grand hotel in process
of erection, and nearly completed, covering a
square with Its magnllicent front. We are
told of eighteen hundred houses rising like
magic under the hands of skilful workmen,
and we no longer wonder that land ls selling
for four hundred dollars per acre, seven miles
from the city. At this point, we took the
special excursion train of magnificent cars,
lo which was attached a car, known only, 1
believe, in the annals of excursions, called a
refreshment car. We have met other cars
which may bo more splendid, and better fur?
nished for sleeping and travelling, but this
one appealed to our feeling"? iu a manner no
Irresistible and so congenial to our tastes, that
many an eye in luture will brighten at tho
mention of "refreshment car."
As we Journeyed, the delegations from
places west of Atlanta joined us at their near?
est depots, and as we grew In numbers we
seemed to grow in spirits, each addition to
our number calling for new toasts and new
bumpers. We wondered more and more at
the marvellous foresight of those who had fur?
nished that wonderful car. Each man seemed
to have been specially consulted as to his par?
ticular taste; and amid the exhilarating
speeches of responding delegates, and- the
continued "cloop" of champagne corks, we
made our entrance Into and passed through
Chattanooga Just before daylight.
Of this place we did not seo much; but what
Southerner is there whose mind ls not Ulled
with the memories of the past at the bare men?
tion of the name ! As thu car sunk into si?
lence we were startled tit each station by the
calling out or some fearful field of battle, car?
rying our thoughts back to those dreadful daya
when the best blood of the South was spilt
upon these smiling plains.
But the-e things are of the past, so we slop
our train and walk in to see the Rutherford
County Fair. Welcomed by all, we spent a
pleasant hour looking around, and taking the
train for Nashville, we meet delegations from
that city, wilh another of those mysterious re?
freshment cars, above described, and arrived
at Nashville near 3 o'clock P. M Speeches
were made, bando shaken, and an honest cor?
dial welcome extended to us. We then
marched up lo the Maxwell House, (the best
hotel wo have met in our travels,) where there
was served up for our reception one of the
handsomest of dinners by the citizens; a
short time was given us for a look at the State
House, and then we called upon Andrew John?
son, president, who delivered a lengthy speech,
In which he seemed to be very anxious about
the Constitution of the United States, and In?
different ubout all things else.
Leaving this city at 9 o'clock P. M., we ar?
rived at Louisville next day near midday,
where wc were received by the citizens en
masHi, a delegation of whom, (I forgot to say,)
accompanied by another of those mysterious
cars of which I have spoken, had taken US in
charge at Nashville. As at Nashville, our wel?
come was most cordial, their ouly regret be?
ing that we could not stop among them. ?7e
were escorted all In carriages through the
streets to the depot of the Louisville and Cin?
cinnati Short Linc, and there partook o? a
handsome collation. The amazing conviviality,
and the not-lo-be-refused inviiutious lo drink
champagne that the Loulsvillians exhibited on
this occisi?n, astonished us a good deal, and
not until afterwards did we loam of the exist?
ence of a horrible conspiracy against the
Green Line excursionists, viz: to get Hiern all
tight and keep them In Louisville. This was
occasioned by the rivalry, between the latter
city and Cincinnati. But the G. L. E.'s were
not lo be waylaid, even in this dainty style;
and with stern determination, turning their
backs upou these allurements, seated thein
gelvcB In the Cincinnati trula, fei a short lim e
we had left Louisville and Its temptations lar
behind.
We were now In charge of our Clncln nail
friends, and of course there was ano llier of
those refreshment cars hitched on. As we
rushed swiftly on to our destination, we be?
came speedily convinced that we hadsLruck
a grapi'-growing counlry. Sparkling Cataw ba
was in the ascendant, and as we drank we
fell that we were iu a land that was blessed
indeed. Somehow, before we knew it, we
were at Covington, and seating ourselves in
the carriages awaiting us, drove through
Covington aud across the Suspension Bridge
to the different hotels allotted us in Cincin nati.
I have tried to give you some Idea of the
welcome extended to usai the different places I
on our route, but as this city was the goal of j
our excursion, I will only say that its welcome
surpassed all our expectations. We were
privileged men, exempt from all the minor
taxations of city life, and doing nothing bu t
enjoying the pleasures provided for us. Our
delegation put up af. the Burnet House, and all
places of amusement, business and commerce,
were thrown open to us without charge.
Street cars, theatres, telegraphs and all. await?
ed our free pleasure, and down to the minutest
details, all our wanls and desires were antici?
pated. It seemed as if we owned the whole
of Cincinnati, and could do with it as we
pleased.
As soon as we had rested sufficiently from
the fatigues of our trip we commenced a sys?
tematic sight-seeing, which has kept us em?
ployed up to the present time. Among the
first places we visited, of course, was the In?
dustrial Exposition. This huge building was
erected solely for the occasion, and is a grand
affair. The main body of the building ls about
250 feet by 200 feet, with wings measuring 150
feet square, extending from each side. In this
space they have contrived to exhibit every ar?
ticle that human ingenuity, in this age ol pro?
gress and patents, has been able to invent.
From Maine to Omaha every State ot the North
and West has sent Itsr jprese?tive, and we pass
from the nasal whine of Massachusetts cry?
ing forth Hie advantages of patent clothes
washers and wringers to the hardy Westerner
with ui3 short method of curing hides. Noth?
ing is wanting. We locked and unlocked,
with a Lilliputian key, a Herring's patent sale
of wonderful beauty and mechanism, shooting
a dozen enormous bolts from ali four sides of
-the door. We examined the huge steam plough,
bigger than a locomotive, going backward and
lorward, and tearing up imaginary acres of
land. We played ?he piano that took the
prize at the World's Exposition and costs live
thousand dollars. We looked at wonderfid
machinery, all running, and doing wonderful
things that we did not see the use of, and we
came out at last, our minds filled with
wonder and our pockets with cards and cir?
culars.
Having "done" the Exposition, we went, all
riding in numberless carriages, to the suburbs,
to visit the palatial residences of some of our
wealthy entertainers. At tho home of the
Hon. G. H. Pendleton we spent some time, ad?
miring his magnificent buildings and wonder?
fully laid-out grounds, Improved, If possible,
by being seen through inverted glasses of
sparkling Catawba, grown upon the very hills
we were surveying. What with wealth and
nature, the outskirts of Cincinnati are among
thc most beautiful in the world. So said we
all when we came driving home, delighted
with our visit, and to prepare for the magnifi?
cent banquet that evening at Pike's Opera
House.
That splendid hall was arrayed in the most
beautiful and tasteful style. Upon the stage
stood a table for the speakers and officers of
the delegations and their hosts, and down the
whole length of thc hall ran long tables with
wonderful ornaments ot confectionery,"glasses,
Ac. As the guests came crowding In aud
seated themselves, the sigiit was gorgeous in
the extreme. The banquet was opened by a
prayer, and the battle that followed would re?
quire the pen of a Napier to describe. For an
hour lt raged with terrific violence, the
sharp clash of steel keeping up an Anvil
Chorus to the exhilarating popping of
champagne corks. Gradually the din waxed
faint, and at last the voice of the
speakers became audible. A programme
of the speeches was furnished all, and the ora?
tors being well prepared, delivered themselves
in their happiest styles, Inspired by their con?
vivial feelings and the smiles of tne native
beauty of Cincinnati Beated In the gallery. The
excitement reached its height, however, as
Mr. Pendleton rose to speak, and the enthu?
siastic cheering1 told how highly appreciated
was the glowing welcome he extended to the
excursionists.
At ?elate hour we left, and wnding our way
to our apartments at the Ournet House, threat?
ened the waiter with dire penalties should our
Congress water be not forthcoming at an early
hour next morning.
Next morning, being in rather a contempla?
tive mood, we wont to see tho Suspension
Bridge over the Ohio, and standing upon the
middle of the suspension, took a view. Away
down, moro than a hundred feet below, tho
Ohio rolled peacefully along, dotted with boats
and bearing upon its bosom those magnificent
floating palaces that wc can only read about
in South Carolina On th<j northern bank
stood the "Queen City of tho WeBt," rising
from the willer's edge and stretching away
baok up a gently sloping declivity to the hills
upon hor outakirta, a vast canopy of smoko
overhanding her numbcrloss manufactories and
machine shops. We saw huge blocks of build?
ings rising lo the sixth aud seventh etory, and
last wo could hardly sufficiently admire
the bridge itself, hanging 1200 feot from pier
to pier over the groat river, with slrcot cars
running across it and everybody taking it as
a ia ?.tier of course.
1 havo not timo now to tell you how we bavo
set Cincinnati and Louisville by tho eara over
our party and ot the jolly quarrel over us that is
going on; nor can 1 toll you of tho Duclioye
races wo wcro taken to seo by a special train ;
what splendid heats wc witnessed, aud how the
horse that everybody bet fivo to ono oa got
badly beaten. These things I must defor for
auolhor letter. W. J. W.
