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

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.

Prussians yesterday afternoon attacked Autun
with twi-ive cannon, infantry aud cavalry. They
were repulsed with great loss. Thc Prussians

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."

THE SIEGE OF PARIS.
drench View of thc Condition of thc
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

Tue soldiers of the line themselves and the

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?

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

the rules or the art, yet the task ls recognized

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

nal virtues, they were utterly destitute or. Well,

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.

pirFQR THE LAST FEW YEARS THE
proprietors or the celebrated PLANTATION. BIT?
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.
