TUESDAY. DECEMBER 13, 1870. ^THE PRICE OF SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE "DALLY NEWS" IS NOW EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Thc War In France. The detailed accounts from Geruan aud French sources clear up much of tho confu? sion caused by a mass" of conflicting tele? grams, and show the magnitude of che despe? rate eflort made by General Trocha to raise the siege of Paris and effect a junction with the Army of the Loire. The movement began on November 28, when the forts around Paris oponed a furious cannonade against the German positions. At midnight an attempt wa3 made to throw bridges across the Seine, northwest of Paris, and early in the morniDg of Tuesday, the ?9th, the Garde Mobiles made a vigorous feint upon the German Fifth Corps. About an hoar later the real sortie was made, the besieged coming out from Villejuif in front of the southern forts Bic?tre and Ivry, and advancing against th? Prussian Sixth Corps and the Second Bavarian Corps, stationed around L'Hay, Clievilly and Choisy-le-Roi. After two hours fierce fighting, in which the Germany batteries did good service, Gene? ral Vinoy, who commanded tho French, withdrew his forces. General Ducrot was to have made a.concerted movement further east,, across the Marne, but was prevented from so doing by a sudden rise in the river. In the various actions of the 29th, the entire German loss was a few hundred men, while the French, according to a Versailles tele .^ram, lost sixteen hundred in prisoners alone. On the next day, Wednesday, the 30th, sor? ties were made under Vinoy, Ducrot and per? haps Trochu himself, against the Prussians on the south, the Wurteinburgere on the southeast and the Saxons on the east These were accompanied by serious demonstrations on the north and west against the Prussian Fourth Corp3 and thc Guard. The principal fighting took place on the southeast and east, around the double Curve of the Marne, where Ducrot crossed, atMontMesly, Bouneuil, Ormesson, Cham pigny, Villiers, Brie anti Noisy Le Grand. Fighting with unusual vigor, the French took a number of positions, but ultimately most of them were retaken. The Wurtem? burgers bore the brunt of the battle. About sixteen hundred men were lost by the Wur tembnrgers and the Prussian Second Corps, and the French' retained possession of thc Marne penins: la, east of the Bois de Vin? cennes, and of various bridges thrown across the river. On Thursday the opposing forces remained in position, but at daylight on Fri? day, the 2d, the Duke of Saxony, with two corps and a division of Wurtemburgers, made an assault upou the French positions at Brie and Champigny. Ducrot withdrew within the peninsula, covering his flanks wit*> the river, and the advancing Germans Buhered.severely from the fire of Forts No geat and Rosny. When met by fresh troops they momentarily gave way, but rallied, and the contest ended with the retreat ot the French, who abandoned Brie and (Jham rdgoy, with thc loss of eighteen hundred prisoners and seven' guns. The losses in killed and wounded were heavy ou both sides. The Wurtemburgers acknowledge a loss of eight hundred and forty-eight, and from the 2d to the 4th these gallant troops lost three thousand two hundred, while the French l03t two thousand killed. Ou the 3d there was no righting of any moment, and at the last accounts the French were mass? ing at"Cr?tenV iu front of Fort Cuarent?n, between the Marne, und the Seine. Simultaneously wit ii these conflicts the German and French armies, north of the Loire, were engaged in a no less serious and importunt conflict. On Monday, the 28th, General D'Anrelles ue Palladinc3 mode an attack on Prince Frederick Charles's army, St Bennnc-la-Rolunde, northeast of Orleans, Montargis and Pithiviers, with the intention, it is presumed, of cutting the Ger? man semi-circle and then pushing directly on Paris by way of Fontainebleau. This movement met with a signal repulse, io which the French lost five thousand killed and wouuded and sixteen hundred prisoners, while the total German loss was only one thousand. Contracting their forces the Ger? mans resumed tho offensive, und on the 30th, according to the French reports, they met with a defeat. On the next da}', however, Von der Tann defeated tho Array of the Loire in several engagements, and on Fri? day, December 2, the right wing otohe Ger? mans smashed ap two French army corps ut Bazaches-les-Hautes, driving them towurds Orleans and capturing seven hundred pris? oners* arid " eleven guns. The next day, - Prince Frederick Charles completed the de? feat by forcing the French from their en? trenched position at and around Chevilly, ^.whereupon Palladines advised the evacuu 2 * t?on of Orleans, and a retreat to the south bank of the Loire, The government liest tated, and Palladines, for the moment, changed hi3 opinion, but the capture by the Germans of a suburb of Orleans, with thirty guns and a thousand prisoners, decided the fate of the city. The fruits of the reoccupa? tion of Orleans by the Germans were 10,000 prisoners, 77 cannon and 4 gunboats. This intelligence was communicated by General Yor\Moltko to General Trochu, who at once issued a proclamation to the people, in which he gave them the unwelcome tidings, and said that, even if the German state? ments "were true, 'thc government would Still have a right to expect "a great move "ment of thu nution" to their assistance, and will continuo the struggle. .i'he fall of Orleans and the defeat of the army of the Loire aroused the public indig? nation. A victim was demanded, and Gen? eral Palladines was removed from command. Finding, perhaps, that their generals were incapable of wielding a body of 200,000 or 300,000 men of all arni3, the Tours govcru ment have divided the army of the Loire into two columns, the one commaudod by Genera! Bourbuku aud the other by General Chansey. Bourbaki, according to the Tours telegrams, is marching on Paris, hoping that the advance of the Germans on Tours has so weakened their lines that, in concert with Trochu, he may be able to break through. In the meanwhile, General Chan? sey claims successful engagements with the Germans on Wednesday and Thursday. King William, a better authority, telegraphs, on the contrary, that in the affair of tbe former day the Germans were victorious, capturing several mitrailleurs and some hun? dred prisoners. It is, moreover, a suffi? ciently significant fact that the Tours gov? ernment has changed its quarters and moved to Bordeaux, about one hundred and forty miles farther south. One conclusion may be fairly drawn from tho events of the past two weeks, viz: that ihe French are fightiug hard, and have, for the first'time, an army which, when beaten again and again, holds together end re? treats in something like order. We believe that the French will be defeated whenever and wherever they may make a stand, but they have a vast country behind them, and may be able to protract thc strug? gle for an indefinite time, to their own greater loss and that of their unfortunate country. _ _ _ Tbc Armistice. A telegram from London announces that Minister Gambetta confesses the defeat in detail of the army of the Loire, declines the responsibility of another, struggle or of making peace, and asks for an armistice to enable a National Convention to assemble. We have no idea, however, that Kaiser Wil? helm will consent to an armistice, except upon terms which will make it practically impossible for the French to resume the war in the event that the National Convention 3hould desire to prolong the hopeless con? test. '1 hat is to say, the Germans will not allow Paris to be revictualled, nor will they give to the armies of the North and the Loire the time to recruit their ranks and im? prove their discipline. The Provisional Government may take the ground that they have no powers to con? clude peace; but, if GeneralTrochu atPari3, and Minister Gambetta at Bordeaux, for themselves and their colleagues, consent to the German terms, there is not likely to bo any difficulty in obtaining an opportunity for tho assembling of a National Conven? tion to ratify the treaty. It is not to be ex? pected that the Germans should give up the advantages they now enjoy. The French Provisional Government must bind the na? tion, as far as they can, to a termination of the war. The convention may do the rest. This is no time to talk of " declining a re .? sponsibility." Minister Gambetta accepted the responsibility of the overthrow of the Imperial Government and of the continuance i of the war. Now, he cannot throw the first responsibility of making peace upon tho shoulders of a National Convention. Tile Bills of the. Bank of the State. So many telegrams have reached 113 in re? gard lo these bills, and so much interest is apparently felt in communicating informa? tion concerning them-with what motivo or purpose wo do not inquire or know-that we have taken the trouble to ascertain the true condition of the litigation, and under? stand il. thus: There are two cases before the Supreme Court concerning these bills. In the one, thc question is raised whether iiiey are receivable for Stale taxes ? * The discussion of the strictly legal question in this case, whether.the act of 1843 repealed the 16th section of the charter of the bank, has been suspended, to allow the investiga? tion of a question of fact to be decided at the next term of the Circuit Court; and which is, were the hills of 18C1 and 1862 issued by the bank in aid of the rebellion? Th?? ques? tion will be heard at the next term or the Circuit Court, and then the whole case will be before the Supreme Court. The second case involves the question of the administration and distribution of the assets of the Bank of the State, supposed to be worth near a million of dollars. The parties contending in thia case are the hold? ers of the bills of the bank; the depositors aud the general creditors of the bank: the holders of the tire loan bonds, aud the hold? ers of the lire loan stock. In this case, which will be commenced in the Supreme Court to-morrow, the following counsel have been retained: For the Bill-holders-Magrath & Lowndes, Porter & Conner, Whaley, Mitchell & Clancy. For the Depositors-McCrady & Sou, Pressley, Lord & Inglesby. For the Fire Loan Bond-holders-Boyne & Son, Campbell ?fc Seabrook. For tho Fire Loan Stockholders-Simons & Siegling, Buist & Buist. For the State-The Attorney-General, Mr. Chamberlain. Apart from the very large amount of as? sets involved in tho ca/e, the questions to bc discussed are of unusual importance, and the judgmeat of the court will be looked for with great interest. WE print to-day ao interesting table, show? ing the total amount collected by the State, in each county, from poll-tax and the gen? eral tax in thc year ending in October last. The amount' received from poll-tax was $41,819; yet there are 150,000 adult males in the State. The education fund loses in this way more than $100,000 in one year; chiefly by the failure of the colored people to pay a lax which is applied exclusively to educalional purposes, and mainly for educa? ting colored children. , Rentoilais.
