TOURS, Sunday, December 4. The Government makes the following an? nouncement: The array of . the Loire has discontinued its for? ward movement on account of the resistance of the enemy, who concentrated large masses be? tween Plthivlers, Athenay and Alguvllle. The army now occupies strongly entrenched positions, in which lt will remain for the present, postpon? ing its advance until a better opportunity is offer? ed. Meanwhile, Ducrot, with the army which he led out of Paris, is disengaged, and will be able to act more freely, uot having before him the masses of the enemy which it was supposed were going to meet him, but which are really retained north of Orleans. Evacuation of Amiens Confirmed. ^? LILLE, Sunday, December 4. The evacuation-of Amiens is confirmed. The retreating Prussians pro:cet their rear by burning the bridges. Nothing lias b-en heard from Mantcuffel. There ls little doubt but that he has -abandoned his march northward, and is moving rapidly to Paris with all his forces. Bloody Battle on thc Marne. BKCSSELS, Saturday, December a.. New York World special: Thc Germans on Friday made a desperate effort to drive Ducrot's army, which occupied the villages on the eas: bank; of the Marne, from Nbisj Legrand to Ormesson, to the west bank of the Mame. At daylight the fliteenth and twenty eighth corps, under the -Duke of Saxony, with a division of Wurtem burgers, aggregating 60,000 men, made a furious assault upon the French position at Brie and Champigny. Thc assault came from the northeast and southeast. Ducrot withdrew with? in the peninsula formed by a curve of thc Marne directly opposite to Bolsse de Vincennes, thus covering his flanks by thc stream. The advanc? ing Ge:mans encountered a terrible Ure from the forts Nogent and Rosny,' and re? doubt Arron. The slaughter was fearful The German Unes wavered, bat were soon rallied by the officers, who fell In great numbers. Thc first brigade of tho second division or Saxon troops lost all Its officers. A large column of French troops from Paris crossed the bridge at noon near Brie, and drove the Germans some distance eastward. The tiring ceased at three o'j lock, the French returning to neir the east bank or the river, but not recrossing. The French hold the bridge.-. The losses on both sid s were very large. The German losses were greatest on account or thc Ure rrom the forts and redoubt, and attack? ing the Erench in their ravorlte position. Skirmishing. TOCRS, December 2. The movement of the army of the Loire con tinues. There are frequent encounters along the line, without any decided advantage to either side. In one or these general sorties the wounded were captured, causing a momentary check to the Seventeenth corps, which, however, held its po sition. The morale of the troops is excellent. A second attack on Auton has been repulsed. The enemy continue their retreat from the north. TOCKS, Decembers. The Prussians yesterday attacked the Sixteenth and Seventeenth corps at La France. The re? sult of the engagement was Indecisive. The Moniteur is silent on the subject. "Washington Opinion. WAsnixGTos, December 4, The French situation as summed up In diplo? matic circles here, ls that the garrison, while un able to break the German lines, has shown by the recent efforts a spirit and power which, should Palladlnes break the line of Prince Frederick Charles, may prove fatal to the Prussians. Mecklenburg's Report. LON JON, December 3. The Duke of Mecklenburg makes the following, report: "On yesterday morning a battle occurred near Bascac and Les Hautes. After a hot light, the Fifteenth French Corps was defeated and drive n back to Athenay. and the Sixteenth driven be? yond Larjgny. Several hundred prisoners and eleven gttas were totten. Tho enemy's loss was considerable. Oars unknown, but smaller. " LONDON, December 4-5 P. M. On*Frlday the fighting at Brie was severe; the Germans being exposed M a steady fire flrom the French forts; but at 3 P. M. thc French retired, leaving behind them many prisoners. Bric, though abandoned by the French, ls not occupied by thc Germans. Thc French wounded' who fall into German hands refuse to return to Paris. The German leaders are losing much of their overwhelming confidence In consequence of the recent military events. Prince George, in a dispatch to the Ring of Saxony, states that Brie and Champigny have been recaptured, although the French brought great masses of troops into the field. He admits tost the Saxons suffered severely. ?Balloon Reports from Paris. TOURS, December 3. A balloon which left Paris on December l, and landed near Le Mans, brings the news that the French kept the prisoners which they captured in the sorties of the 24th and 30th of November, and were preparing to prosecute vigorously an offen? sive movement." General Vinoy held a position greatly In advance of Ducrot. Ducrot stopped on account mt a sudden risc in the river caused by the Prussians breaking dams, and not on ac? count of any resistance offered by the Prussians. The Prussians retook Champiguy. but the Frenoo. recaptured it again, "lt was the Prussians, and not the French, who asked for a truce to bury thc dead. The army or the Loire made a successful for? ward movement to-day. All the railways are closed to passengers, on account of the Immense movements of troops. SATURDAY'S NOON DISPA^caES. NEW Yo-?t December3. The Tribune's ^^0^^ with Garibaldi's headquarters at Autun, writes Thursday that the Prussians yesterday afternoon attacked Autun with twi-ive cannon, infantry aud cavalry. They were repulsed with great loss. Thc Prussians snailed the city. The Mobiles behaved well. Junction Of Trochu and Palladines? LONDON, December 2. A correspondent of the Worid at Tours tele graphs that th? operations of Pall ad ines and Tro? chu were carried on according to an understanding with each other. The prearranged plan has thus far been wholly successful. The plan was that Trocha would not push Ducrot's army beyond the position which lt now holds at Champigny, but occupy the villages and positions on the east bank of the Marne, sever the German circle or invest? ment, and await the operations or the army or the Loire. These were to consist or two movements by Palladlnes-the advance of his right towards Fontainebleau, while his left engaged the centre of Frederick Charles. This latter manouvre was executed with brilliant success yesterday, the Eighteenth Corps driving Von der Tann's army from entrenched positions at Guillonville, Ser mlnicue, Gonlers, Monnervllle, Villeparl and Fa vorolles t J wards Chateau Cambray. From Versailles. LONDON, December 2. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, at Versailles, telegraphed at 2 o'clock this afternoon, that the lighting on the 30th ultimo was followed by no fresh movements. Yesterday there was a lull in the French cannonade, and several ambu- * lances came out to collect toe wounded. To-day again there ls no heavy firing going on toward Charentou. The German troops are near Orlean-:. A correspondent at Orleans telegraphed at 8 A. -M.: The anny or the Loire at this moment ls marching out rroru headquarters, leaving Or? leans. The Prussians are concentrating between Jolnvllle and Pithivlcrs. WASHINGTON. December 3. Foreign ad ?'Ices arc much confused. The im? pression exists in diplomatic' circles that the French have made a brilliant effort, and that at last authentic advices were pushing their advan? tage; but tho bes; geographers to locate armies the French legation here-think the story of the war will be told wlthiu the next four days. A cable from private sources, dated London, the 3d, says : "Dy sifting the vast numbsr of confused and contradictory war dispaches, re? ceived up to a late hour this morning, the fact is undeniable that th? Preach torces yesterday ac? tually won a victory, as claimed by them, uear Orleans; but the Germans certainly repulsed the French attack before Paris. It is not true that the French array of the Loire effected a juuetion with Trocha, thougli the Prussian lines were re? peatedly successfoliy pierced during the engage? ment. The bayonet charges or the French were excellent." BERLIN, December 3. The treaty admitting Bavaria into North Ger? many was ratified by the Federal Council. The Eavarian Diet will act on the trea'.y on thc 10th Instant. 8 ATURDAT'S NIGHT DISPATCHES. Official from Tonrs. TOCKS, December 2. It Is officially stated to-night that one or two days must yet elapse before .the fruits of move? ments now in progres? may be fully reaped. Up to this time the most complete success has at? tended the successive steps taken. Every move? ment brings nearer each other the armies of the Loire and Paris. During the fighting of the 30th, Ducrot and Vlnoy captured four Prussian guns and many prisoners. LONDON, Decembers. Advices from Paris to November the 30th, state that an order has been issned to the effect that army movements and particulars not sanctioned by the government officials are not to bc publish? ed on pain or suppression. Thc military authori? ties made public the following details of recent events around the city: On the 28th, at day? break, a cannonade was opened from the forts on tie south of the city.

The Paris Figaro has lately published- sev? rai very striking articles, evidently emanating rom a .military mind, on the condition of Paris*) nd the carnees of its successful resistance of f ie siege. Ja t|ie flrs* of these, published a ?onth ago, the wrL\?r ur?ed the offensive policy, 11 eclarlng that thc only .'?source of Paris lay in ie strength of the army with.** her walls. It rill be observed that he new urges *ue opposite olicy. The last article, dated November Jlj ls ended, "Are Wc Lost y and says: In a material point ot view the position of Paris i not improving; ir onr lut r -uc'iraeuts are pushed n wi.'.';, ?v?vity, ina rrussians are still more ac? ive. Besides, we have already consumed a cer aln quantity of our provisions; fresh meat [% bo? oming scarce; we are about io rely un^j Slllt near, and we know not, thauks to &e reticence t f the government, how long that resource will , ie open to us. In a moral point of view, our posl lon lias not Improved. Some people arc completely lepressed, and are ready to give themselves up, r lound hand ar.? foor, to the l'russlans, while otu- c rs retain Ute old seit estima:ion and the old b?? ler thfit Europe Is looking cu and admiring them. ? A? them undeceive themselves, aud understand t hat the population or the capital, properly so alled, has done scarcely anything for the lefcucel that it lias greatly thwarted and mpedeu it; that up to this time lt has iad no experience or the horrors or a siege, md that on the day when it shall really be ailed upon to endure those hardship* lt will be e?s bellicose, lt is quite time to put a check on hose boulevn.ru patriots who preach resistance, iud stigmatize as traitors all those who spca'< of >eace and of au armistice. If all those idle talk :rs had led the lite imposed upon oar soldiers ince the commencement of thc siege, they would >e verv willing to see au end or lt. We -have not o consider the value or big words, but truthfully o regard our position. Purls cannot be delivered >y itself, as every sensible man ls convinced, lu ralu are wc told that thc number of our garrison s equal to that of Hie besiegers. Piace on one side oo of our pieces or 12, and on the other 100 or krupp's guns. Then on either side there would >e loo cannon, but still the forces would uot be ?qua!. We cnn successfully resist the Prussian irmy; we cannot hope to compel lt to raise the Tue soldiers of the line themselves and the Sardes Mobile-very superior to the National Juards-are still not equal to the German troops u ensemble and discipline. If we admit for' a nomtnt that we can break the llncfof Invest ment, lo we not know that the country, for a space or thirty leagues round, has been wasted, and that :he bloody sacrifice necessary to attain that end .viii not enable us to re viet mil Paris for* a single Jay? The whole question, then, ls to know wheth? er we have or wu a relieving arrav which ts ap? proaching to our aid. Without it'all our efforts will be useless. We shall, doubtless, kill many Prussians, but the enemy will kill manv French? men, and the loss or Paris will not be averted by a single day. Well, then, we say, and with grier, that this relieving army hos hitherto been but a myth. Tue government assured cs that it muster? ed 39,000 men, and lt had but 10,000 soldiers to oppose the 40,00'J Prussians wu ? took possession of Orleans. We may be told that the army ls not yet organized, but that shortly lt will be. When ? . We cannot wait indca.nite!y, or we should need a relieving army. For how many days l we pro-lsions? We put this question to the eminent three days ngo, and we are Induce repeat it to-day, for that is the m ist irapor fact of the moment. Everything depends i the period for which our provisions, will sui Have we sufficient to enable us to walt for thi llevingarmy? Or ought we, on the contrar; attempt at once a desperate etfori. which permit us to fall with ' honor? Net must the government forget the sinister prc lion of M. de Bismarck, nor walt for lasj hoar before declaring that there, uo further provisions. But wo may be told it hopeless position we are describing. No I are not yet lost, but wc arc upon the decll which leads io great catastrophes. If wc ti written these lines lt ls t.o arrive at this con sion. If tue provinces abandon Pari'. Pari under no obligation uselessly to sacrifice hen and may without dishonor seek to treat upon own account. Paris ls now erect and upsta ing. It will end'by succumbing, should lt nol ceive help from without. We have made t clear, but lt may yet inflict upon thc enemy c slderable losses; lt may yet kill many of his diers. Paris would, therefore, at this mom obtain very honorable conditions, but. if we v for famine unttl we have searches by armed bes among the inhabitants, wc shall have civil wc In a word, ail the horrors which famine brings its train. Prussia, then, will-be in a position dictate her laws to us. Let the government, tri give us information upon these two facts: : how long have we provisions ? Does It expet relieving army, and within what space or tin If the reply to these two questions ls sarlsfactc we eau fight, and will fight boldly and pesev? lngly; but. In the other event, whv should Ps sacrlllco itself for the rest of France, wh would look oa at Its dvlng agonies with fol< arms. Thc Defences. The Berlin correspondent of the London Tin intimates that the Germans hesitate to bomb. Paris because they recognize that its de eoces i impregnable. Ile writes on November 13 : The more thc German generalsTinve convine themselves 01 the strength or the works oppoa to inem, the less desirous arc they to open an tilery duel between their trenches and Hie ei my's ramparts. Though the formidable cann transported to Paris from Cologne, Madgebui Kiel, and even Posen and K?nigsberg, ls held be coinpeteut to-reduce thc place according the rules or the art, yet the task ls recognized be a tough oue, and to require more time tliau h bten at first supposed; Tins view or the case li bren strengthened by the i ecent additions to t tlie.permauent defenceof the place, and the bi ricades known to have been constructed in t thoroughfares giving access to the etty: The 1< s.'u ol Sebastopol, lt appears, ha.-; - not be tnrown away upon Paris, and General Trochu an intelligent disciple ot the renowned Todtlebe The southern forts have been connected by a co tinuous line of eartnworks, extending Iro Issy as rar as the Seine near Cnarento and affording shelter for a good many addition guns, or a calibre wlil-h coul l not fall to mal an Impression on the German redoubts. To e hance the efficiency or tht se works, they a fronted by ritleplts and trenches miming in tl direction or the besiegers, and approaching thei within rather uncanny vicinity. These.arrang menis, most plentiful in the neighborhood or VI lejulf, where the heights of Clamart menacing: frown upon thc besieged, are not warning I any o'her part of the southern side, and ha* bceu imita ed also In some places of the easter a .d northern fronts. To conquer such works 1 an undertaking of unprecedented magnitude 1 the annals of thc artilleristlc science. It appear that not very long ago the different opinions at vocated In the council of war were supersede by the resolve to let hunger be^ln the work or r< Auction and reserve the artillery Torcoinpletln it. Only when the town has begun to reel th want of provisions will the German bjtteries b manned; and. adding fiery persuasives to (hos already supplied by personal needs, succeed, it i anticipate-1, In a comparatively short time, ti work a result;. Surrender being expected fron the Impression tobe produced on thc inhabitant at large, thc bombardment, when lt does begin ls likely to include the town as well as the de fences. With so excitable a population as Paris premature bombardment might have engcnderei a troublesome heroism, even in the face of Un manifest impossibility of a succe-sful resistance when properly timed, lt is expected to product the opposite consequence. The French Armies Outside. The Rouen correspondent or thc London Stan dard expresses a high opinion or the d sclpllne and efficiency or the French forces In thc pro? vinces. He writes, November 15: The military prospects of France look brighter now than they have done ever since the end ol August. The work of concentration, which has ueen too long neglected, appears to have been commenced m right earnest, and I tru?t that be rorcmany days are over it will bc In my power to send you a convincing and conclusive proof that the army of the Loire ls not the only organ? ize-? Torce the French have in the field. 1 might send you details of lutercst concerning thc prepa? rations that are going on, but thc French are mor? bidly nervous about the premature disclosure or military movement!", and in deference to that feeling I must contine myself io the bare statement or my belier that before many days General Bourbaki lu the north, anil Count de Keratry In thc west, will be lu a position lo co-operate efficiently with General d'Aurelles ile Palladlnes, whose sudden debouching from be htud the Loire so disagreeably surprised the Prus? sians, by giving them practical proofs that thc army or the Loire was not the myth that they supposed. From personal observation I have no hesitation in saying that thc discipline among the Mobiles and the regulars ls, beyond any com? parison, greater than lt was in the army which left Paris and Chalons in August Inst, on that .'.aa1 march to Sedan Even thc most undiscip? lined or the Irregulars, the Franc3-tirenrs, exhibit Ibis Improvement iu a marked degree. I have seen many or them in Rouen at various times within the last two month?. All I will say ls, that sven a month ago, "good bcluvlor, sobriety and mention to command," the three military cardi? nal virtues, they were utterly destitute or. Well, MOO or them arrived here to night, and their quiet ind orderly behavior, cleanliness, aud soldierly ippearance would have reflected credit on a crack :orps of regulars. LONDON ITEMS.

HALEIGH. December 3. Hie Democrats ot thc General Assembly are cancussing nightly upon the subject of lin ? peaching Governor Holden, and calling a restrict? ed constititlonal convention. Hon. Jos. Turner, editor of the Raleigh Sentinel, and ex- United Stated Senator T. L. Cllngm in had a personal encounter on the streets this morning. Canes were freely used. Mr. Clingman was very bailly Injared about the head, 'havlug received three or four severe blows. Mr. Turner received oue very severe blow. Mr..Clin;man made the assault. Thc difficulty originate I In som; stric? tures appearing In the Sentinel upon Mr. C. THE NEW UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM NORTH CAROL CN A. Hon. Z. Vance, Democrat, who fias Just been sleeted United States senator by the North Caro? lan Legislature to succeed Jadge Abbott, Repob lean, on thc 4th of March next, ls not unknown ;o fame, having already served two terms lu Cou tress and occupied the gubernatorial chair of his state for two terms. Mr. Vance was originally a iVhlg. and a strong Union man until the sece3" don of North Carolina, when he Joined the con ederate cause. On thc evculng or his election he nado a speech at Raleigh, taking strong grounds ri favor of modera'lon and conciliation In the >outh,and the honest support of the National Gov irnmcnt. He said: A great deal has been said of the hvpocrlsy of )olluclans, or the Ingratitude ot repnbllcs, but lt s a principle ot human nature that that man who erves a people faithfully iu any position where hat people place him, be. the cause right or vrong, will be honored by them. I must, say that feel that I have done so. I was reared a Whig -a party devoted to the Union. As a Whig I ought disunion, and stood by thc Union even mill the South ireuerally, feeling itself aggrieved, loionlsm became very unpopular. I still mi? tered to it until my State, In her sovereign capa lty, attempted to dissever her connection with hat Union. I then elected to go with my Sraie, ny kith and kin. Having Joined the army, I dc ermlne-l to serve the new cause with the same inswerving zeal with which 1 had served that of he Union. I was called upon to support acts rhlch had not before, and did not then, meet my pproval, for the general good.* I served as our Governor; I clung with you to the ausc, and did not surrender my autho lty until thc last hungry, ragged" Con rede ate had laid down i.ls arms. After the war terms ipon conditions were held out to the people of he Sou tl?. 1 wo dd not accept terms that would eparate mc from you and the brave buys who rent at your bidding. Tuc longest road has a urn. I did not wish to rise until I could rise with ou. Thank God, that time has arrived. We go ip now. Wc may gn down again, and will go lown together; and I will have with me good ompany-the bestand bravest heans In the land nth me. Because our party has been trium ihant. there ure some who urge retaliation. This li eu ld nor be so. Tue best antidote for tyranny he strongest weapon airalust lt?. ls the enact lent of Just and wholesome laws. Now- that we ave the government of North Carolina In ur hands, we should not ulm to avenge ursclvcs for thc overriding of civil lliicr.y mong us, but we should so arrange that : cannot, happen again-should see io it hat no Executive or other authority can again ttempt to destroy our liberties. It behcoves us ow to build tip the great principles or civil liber y on the eternal rock of our great country. Let uger, revenge and retaliation belituored, and let lie laws on your statute book bear tho Impress of free people determined legitimately to malu *ln their freedom. In my place tn the Senate I hall endeavor to serve my great State and my ountry with honor. That I shall bo admitted to erv? j ou, scarcely admits or a doubt. The Presl ent's message, lt ls said, wld foreshadow ainne? f, and the recent elections show Hie hand rrltlng on the wal!. There are many great tatesineu among the dominant party iu'Con ress, represinting lame constituencies, among thoma i remend?os revolution in sentiment on iicse questions has taken place. Those men and lie great American people, who, alter a long rar or bloc l and carnage, resulting In the free om of the African, will no longer, tolerate the aslavemeni >r the Anglo-Saxon. The (vaslilngtco correspondent of thc New ork Tribune thinks that Senator Vance won't et into lils scat. He says :. Ills political disabilities for participation In the ebelllon have uever been removed, and lt ls the cneral opinion that Congress will certainly re ,isc to relieve him now, aud his admission to the enatc ls therefore regarded here by Republicans cnators as very doubtful, lr ls supposed that the rlends of ex-Governor Vance wilt urge In his ivor that lie opposed secession until the State of forth Carolina went out of the Union, and that urlng the war he was elected Governor by the eoplc of that State on a platform opposed to the 'onfederate Administration, ills opponents claim, owever, that these facts will have little lutin nce on Congress, since tlfey also remember that s Governor or North Carolina he was as bitter a ebel as any man In thc South.

Persons who contract this unfortunate abit of body, under such circumstances, might oaslbly be relieved by changing their sedentary raployments for others or a more active kind; ut this is by no means certain.

TERS have been experimenting In the growing of | Calisaya Bark on the Island of Jamaica, and have found, from actual tests, and by no means a mean experience, tbat this valuable bark can be grown with marked success only upon thc moun? tains from 1500 to 2000 feet high. There the rorests are orten bedewed with the early mist, and this tree arrives at its full perfection. Owing to the larg ly Increasing demand for the bark re quired.for thc manufacture of quinine, and also for use in the preparation of Plantation Bitters, the procuring of lt has been a source of great anxiety to the proprietors, and seeing, as they did, that the South American supply would soon give.ont, took the above early precaution to fully sur ply the demand, and assisted and encouraged as they are by the English Government, at Jamaica, we have not thc least doubt bat they will succeed.
