Official dispatches from Paris on the night of the 21st st.it? that operations were renewed that day, zm\ only ceased at night. Generals Mabro und Blaise occupied Neuvllly, San Marne, Villa Evnard and the Maison Blanche, on the east. The flre*i>f the enemy was silenced at all points.

The King of Bavaria and the Restora tion of the German Empire. The following letter has been addressed by the King of Bavaria to the King of Prussia : After the adhesion of Southern Germany to the Gerniufc Constitutional Alliance, the Presidential rights ve-tod in your Majesty will extend over all the German States. In consenting to those rights being vested In a single hand. 1 have been influ enced by tne conviction that the interests of the whole German fatherland and Its allied sover eigns will be effectually promoted by this arrange ment. I trust that t> "> rights constitutionally possessed by the pr?s " of the confederacy will, by the restoration o. ..i.. German empire and the German Imperial dignity, be recognized us rights exercised by your Majesty in the name of the entire fatherland, and by virtue of the agree ment effected between Its princes. I have, there fore, proposed to the German sovereigns, conjoint ly with myseif, to suggest to your Majesty that the posse-sion of the presidential rights of the confederacy be coupled with the imperial ti le. As soon as 1 have been Informed of the resolu tions or your Majesty and the allied princes I shaUdirect my government to take steps to effect a formal agreement on the subject. Ludwig. A Curious aud Terrible Balloon Tour. A private letter from Christiania, received in London, gives some details concerning the French balloon which fell in Norway. It appears that the baRoon was sent up from Paris on the morning of the 24th. The wind car ried it In a northerly direction with such rapidity that it soon passe 1 over the North Sea, without the occupants or -he car knowing where they were. When, however, they found themselves dangerously close to the sea they sent off a carrier pigeon with a message that they thought themselves lost, at the same time 1 throwing out ballast. Ultimately the balloon reached Norway, and when over Mandai, a small town on the southern coast, twenty-three miles west southwest of Chrlstiausand. a sack of letters and newspapers were thrown out, which fell among the astonished Inhabitants, who were watching the balloon pass over their heads. Af ter having been many nours in the balloon, the eronauts, whose names are not given, descended several mllC3 further north, ou a su ?w covered mountain, as best they could, and without even Knowing in what country they were, there being no habitations near. For nineteen hours they wandere 1 about in the snow lu licht boots, which latter had to be cut off, so saturated had iey become. In the meantime the balloou was discovered by some or the natives. The rerouauts were not to "be seen, but tho remains of meat, bread and wine in ihe car. snowed plainly enough that it had recently eon^atucd pa-scngers. six car rier pigeons were a'so found In it. seemingly none the worse for thejourney. Kventua'.ly ' he voyasers reached one of the small cabins which are to be seen at wide intervals among the mountain', which give shelter to those whu look arter cattle, and where an atred ana poor woman gave them some rood. They then discovered, by scelnr: upon a match box the word "Chnstnitiia," tlwt they were in Norway, and made tiie woman under stand as well as they could that they desired to proceed to the town. Thev were then s1i"W:i the way to a farmer's bouse, where they received the attention of which they stool so much In need, a3 well as dry clothes n.n<i shoes. Th news of rhe arrival oi the balloon passengers did uot reach Christiania till Sunday, the 2;>h air. On r'ie even ing or the 23th thousands of people wens to meet them ou their entry into Christiania, utH gave them a cordial reception. They were feasted in Christiania that night, and on the following day were to st.irt for Tours, via London. .Mr. Gladstone ?mhI the Pope. The folloTlug is the letter addressed by Mr. Gladstone to Mr. Dease, member of Parliament for Queens C unty, Ireland: Downing Street, November 30, IS70. Sir? I have the honor to acfcnowleo/e the re ceipt of your le' ter of the istii Instant, transmit, ting a memorial from the Inhabitants of strad oally. Iu reply I have to state that her Majesty's Gove rnment have not, during tue various changes whioh have marked tue re;jn of the present P pel interfered, nor have they now propose i to inter fere with the civil government of the City of RomOor the surrounding country. But her Ma lesty's Government consider all that relates to the adequate support of tie dignity of the Pope, and to his personal freedom and independence in the discharge of his spiritual Junctions, to be legitimate matter for their notice. Indeed, without waiting for the occurrence of an actual necessity, they have, during the uncertain ties of the last few months, taken upon them selves to make provision which would have tended to afford anv necessary protection to the person of the sovereign ronttrf. The subjects to which I have adverted will continue to have their careful attention, although they have had great satisfac tion in observing that the Italian government has declared In the most explicit manner its de sire and Intention to respect and defend the Pope's freedom and independence, and to take care that adequate provision shall be forthcoming for the due Bupport or his dignity. I have, .la, \V. E. Gladstone. Bismarck and the Pope. The correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette, at Rome, says: I am Informed that Count F.lsmark has applied, through Baron Arnim, to the Pope for his co-op eration in the pacification of Alsace and Lorraine, and that his Holiness has agreed to address v. encyclical or pontifical brief to the bishops of those provinces, exhorting the inhabitants to submis sion. This document wl 1 be a reproduction or the brief addressed by Gregory XVI to the bishops of Poland In 1832. It is said that Cotnt Bismarck has bought tho favor with a prom ise to secure at least a partial restoration of the temporal power as Foon as the Prussians occupy Paris. The Peter-penny re ceived by the Pope since the annexation of Rome, amounts to ne irly 80.000 francs. The Holy Father, however, Is still Intent on turning ev. rything Into money, and is selling off all his horses, except tho- e required for his own carriages. A couucll of cardinals has recommended that, if he is obliged to leave Rome, he should arrange to take refuge in Ireland, evidently in ignorance *hat the boldest British Minister would suudder a: such a proposal.

There was a full Cabinet meeting to-day, wl:h the exception of secretaries Akerraan and Robeson. There will be no fu ther meeting, ex cept In a case of emergency, until January 3d. The Star believes that the President will appoint Fred Douglass a San Domingo commissioner. Ex-Revenue Collector Dr. Andrew Lewis, of In diana, has been arrested for an alleged embezzle ment of government funds. The departments will be closed on Monday, and at noon during next week". Several days ago Acting Attorney General Bris tow was consulted by a Louisiana senator, and in response to Inquiries, gave an Informal opinion, but without thoroughly examining the question, that the with irawal o* a presidential nomination tothe Senate In the place of an oillcer suspended would, to a certain extent, confirm the suspension and release the bondsmen of the person Bought to be removed. Yesterday, therefore, after a brief discussion, the Se:ia*e declined to comply with the request of the President to with draw the name of Blanchard, nominated for postmaster at Now Orleans, In place of Lowell, suspended, for the purpose of ?xlng a precedent, by the pa-sa.-je of a resolution, that under the tenure-of-oftlce law, In case of the re jection of the nominee, the old incumbent shall remain without Illing a new bond until a suc cessor shall be appointed by and with the con sent of the Senate. It was thought that the pre cedent coutd only be established in the manner herein stated, without any disrespect whatever to the President. Schenck's commission has been signed. WA S HI SO TO y GOSSIP. . The Difficulty Between Grant and Sumncr. The telegraph tells us that Mr. Sum nor made a personal explanation in the Senate. Tho follow ing article in the Washington Patriot doubtless called it out: Within the last ten days an attempt has been made by mutual friends of the President and Mr. Sumner to bring about a reconciliation, or, at least, a better understanding, and, alter consultation, the President was approached on this subject by a distinguished New England senator. The Presideut manir?.steil a g >od deal of feel ing, and utterly refused to be pcrsuad-d that the differences could be reconciled, or even to give his con-ent to anv movement having In view a reconciliation. The good of the party, Ac, was earnc-.Uy urged, but in vain. The President replied emphatically that Mr. Sunnier had attacked him in executive session of the Senate; that he had spoken bitterly of him publicly !n street cars an 1 other public con veyances, and that he had grossly abused him in Boston and during his receut journey West; that on some of these occasions Mr. Sumner had at tributed dishonest motives to him, and. ir he were not President of the United State, he should hold Mr. Sunnier personally responsible for his language, and demand satisfaction of him. Tills somewhat startling talk from the man who the Republlcms have almost worshipped as the conqueror of the r?bellion, put the p -aee-makers to flight, for lc was plain thut the olive branch would not be accepted, no matter by whom ten dered. The stair- officers about the President share his fcehugs In this matter, and one of Uiem (Gen eral Babcock) is reported to have gone so far as tu declare that if he were not oitlclally connected with the Executive, he would subject Senat ir Sumner to personal violence. The whole matter creates a great deal of tall;. how colonel porney was connected. Mr. Forney was given to understand by a staff officer of the President that lie was xpeeted to attack Mr. Sumner on his course ou th? San D ; miugo questiou aud his attitude toward the Presi dent. Tliis Mr. Forney positively refused to do on the ground that Mr. Sumner had always been one of his warm personal frteuds, and this decision withdrew the Presidential favor from Col. Forney, and, it Is even said, clossed the doors of the White House against him. It was the President, also, who set in motion the effort to displace Mr. Sumner from the chair inansntp of foreign affairs, or to so reconstruct the committee as to neutralize Mr.Sumner-s Indu eu ce.

[Correspondence of the New York World.] Paris, November 20. Last niirlit I received visits from several ac quaintances who are in "the marching battalions" of the National Guard. They came to Inform me they had received orders to hold themselves at hand to receive farther orders, for the decisive hour of the great sally was at hand. They were making preparations for any fate that might be fall them?paying their little debts, giving last orders. One of them gave me a proofshec: of general ducrot's proclamation. Schliers o/ the.

I went towards Belleville, for,I was told the Im pression was general the first battle wa$ tobe given near Le Itourget. Ko material advantages were to be expected thero, but a victory, it was thought, would elate the people here, and give them a dash which would assure victory whcnloil to a vital point of the besiegers" lines. At 0 P. M. the generale wa3 beaten. There was some confu sion In consequence of the ignorance of the drum mers. They were unable to say whether the sed entary National Guard or the "marching battal ion" of ihc quarter, or both, were wanted. There fore few answered the call. At 10 P. M. tue clarions were sent out to sound the a>)]>el. and even this had so little effect that It was found necessary to sjnd oat the cl rlons again at 11 P. If. You cau scarcely conceive anything more lugubrious than these mlltary summonses echoing again and again In our deserted dark streets. Ar 7 P. M. nearly every shop and all cafes In the out lylng'qiiartcrs of the city are closed. There is scarcely a gns-iarnp lighted except at street corners, and then only one. It serves little more than to make darkness visible. People have lost all curiosity. A few wee ks since a yelping nog had brought innumerable heads to windows. Now the most sinister alarm sounded nt the most un hallowed hours Is unable to startle one head from a single pillow. We are so worn out with tho struggle for rood, so weak in consequence of insufficient ?Ilot, our hopes have been po often dis appointed, we are so weary of this duress which cuts us off from all the world, (hut we have grown Indiff?rent to every thintr. I was deeply struck by this callousness as I wulked the streets th<s night when sedition was quelled in the Hotel tie Ville. It struck me deeper then than It did last night, for French society and civilization stood then In more peril than ihey do now. Ulanqiilaud Klouren's crew are more daugerous enemies to them thau the Germans are. At 11 P. M. I heard the sai.lv was to be made on the south of Paris. I retraced ay steps. The outer boulevards were tolerably well filled with National Guard 4 ("marching bat talluas.") It was almost impossible to distinguish them from Infantry of the line (regulars,) for they wore the gray overcoat of the latter, and in the crepuscular light of Insufficient gas lamps the red stripe or the black field of the pantaloons could not be seen. The inner boulevards were deserted ; every place of public resort was closed; lamps were as few there as elsewhere. You could not have recognized the Boulevard des Italiens af. midnight. Tacre was no crowd returning from the theatres and taking nightcaps in caic-i or res taurants, which Hooded the thorough hire with light. The rag-pickers were gone, and even the limiter of dear ends bad ceased to pursue the I precious weed between the logs^of tables and un > tier chairs and benches Tne bmievard looked even dirtier by this dim light than by day. Paris looks ruined; weirs the air of decayed respecta uillty; which is perhaps m ire melancholy than ruin i'se'.f. for it has an the humiliation un-1 woes of pjverty unrelieved by poetry. rl'e de rivoli vos animated enough, but it was the animation or a camp.

This critical hour, while they are nobly exposing their lives, we owe to them the support of our firmness and our civic virtue.

Ou this occasion the French gave the Germans four hoars and fifteen minutes notice of the attack and of the point to he attacked. I think, however, 1 can match this ivy an incident which occurred yesterday. Vanvesand Issy forts fired Innumerable parabolic discharges of grape-shot on Chattlllon Heights. I sav at 2 A. M.

I think I have told you there are sixteen or eighteen ambulances in front or me. Tutsi vehIci; s were omnibuses, hacks laun dresses' carls, moving vans, railway vans. All of the wounded except, one (he was ? Garde Mobile) were Infantry of the line. I saw a streteher required in only one Instance. The others moved without assistance. They were covered with mud. They were extremely pale, .vau and depressed. Wounds seem to produce instantly great physical prostration; 'tis this. I mean by de pression. Otherwise they were fufj of confidence. They said to me: "The regulars! ncv-r fought better tnan to day, for the NaUorfal Guard were with them, and the National Gasid fooght with sucli determination, that the regulars felt them selves bound to equal or s irpass tiiem.

He said: "I have been M lor ten days. This morning I was ordered out of the military hospital. They told me they were expecting men who needed attendance and medi cine more than 1. When I asked where 1 was to iro. they told mc to headquarters. I came here. They have given me six days for convalescence.

Others ad ded ciiolsy-le-itoi to the list of victories. "What barbarians titoso Prussians are I War Is war, but rhej realty do exceed the lights, of devastation. Now we nave th?inon the bin, and we'll pay tliem back lu their own colu." Everybody agreed the National Guard hud distinguished Itself. The French Inrees ro'c fifty c:nts upon the favorable rumors afloat. The government has refused per mission logo outside of Paris to every person connected with newspapers without exception, and h.n published this order: "The go- eminent requests the public tobeon Its guard aitalnst the rumors which may circulate. Tne military operations undertaken ny tho Gov ernor or Parts are complex; among them arc relnt attacks and relut retreats. It is consequent ly impossible to draw any conclusion In announc ing the capture or the evacuation or uny post. Indications of this nature ml?ht reach the enemy and reveal our plans to him. The preliminary movements have been made by our tr. ops with a gallantry and dash which fill their leuicrs with hope and confidence. In face of impending events each citizen ought to feel It to be his duty to be reserved and calm. After these observa tions we may be allowed to say that on the prin cipal points of our advances our troops have occu pied tue positions which had been designated to them, and that they are prepared: to act!"

The flrst-ciass American machine is to be found in all quarters of the world, and the supply comes principally from New York and Itosion. There arc many cheap machines, which are sold all the way from two to twenty dollars which are not counted in these figi c-s. There are also many cheap Imitations of the best American machines manufactured in England and on the Continent which are sold as of American make.. Germany, in particular, does a very large business of this kind, Ham burg having no less than six large factories running, und Hading a market principally in Russia, with which country we have compara tlvely little direct trade. Notwithstanding this compeli:ion, the machines sent from this country command high prices abroad, on account or ex cellence In workmanship and ilnish, and are ex ported in Large numbers annually. Ail or Ute largest manufacturais haw agencies in the prin cipal cities of Europe, and receive largo orders from abroad by nearly every steamer. Tlte largest numb;- made by any one concern in a year was 60,731. Notwithstanding the lar^e amount of work widen can be done ly these Ingenious con trivance, which used to be done entirely by hand, there serais to be no diminution of hand work iu many branches of business. As the cost or manufacturing good sewing machinas varies from $12 50 to $00, and the prices at which they are sold range from $60 to $353, the profits of the business are cnormou.s. ?A lady recently delivered a lecture in New York on the "Rights of Children," and the Tri bune wants to know "what is to bsppen nest." THE GERMAN LEADERS. KIXG WIZZTAM, COUNT mSMA.ltCK AND OENEEAZ MOZTKE. Life at Their Hca tl quarter a. A Gorman correspondent In the Prussian headquarters at Versailles sends the following interesting account ot royal and high milita ry life there to the Gartenlaube, from which we translate : TUB KING OP PRUSSIA. The King lives in the Prefecture, In the Ave nue de Paris, living In the same simple man ner to which he has always been accustomed in Berlin, and yet showing an astonishing ac tivity, notwithstanding he has reached his seventy-third year. He gets up at 7 o'clock every morning. Uls couch consists of a low camp bed with only one mattress, which he always takes with him. lie shaves himself, and is waited upon only by his two valets de chambre, Kugel and Krause, both old soldiers, who have seen military service, as shown by the decorations they wear. While the King Is dressing, in which operation he Is assisted by his I wo valets and a garderobier, he speaks with no one. In the house he wears simply the usual military service suit; knowiug no rest, and keeping on his soldierly dress, from head to foot, during the whole day, and late into the night. He wears the order of the Iron Cross, the Russian order of St. George", fourth class, both of which decorations he earned in the year 1312, at Bar sur Aube, and the order pour le m?rite, though not the grand cross, which latter he only affixes when he has to receive officers to whom he would show espe cial attentions. King William enters his work-room early, when a servant brings in a Irugal breakfast, while the writing desk Is heaped up with pa pers, letters, dispatches, requiring the royal attention. Iu Berlin the Kiug always takes his coffee alone; in Versailles ouiy Privy Coun cillor Schneider, a well-known military author and historian, has entrance. Schneider makes his appearance every morning punctually at seven, aud m the performance of his functions ol reader and librarian to the King, reads over to the breakfasting monarch the telegrams that have arrived during the night, as well as reporting the tone of the European press, be sides placing before his Majesty the latest lite rary productions, from which, us well as from important articles from the journals, he reads aloud. Alter coffee the King opens the letters, reads the dispatches, making notes at the sides as to their disposition, and places them proper ly in the various departments to which they belong, lor instance, the civil cabinet, the military cabinet, the ministry of state, the ministry of war, the ministry ot Justice, the departments lor aid and grace. The latter de partments, very delicate ones by tho way, are entrusted to Privy Counsellor and Landwehr Major Bork, a gentlemau who has served the King lor many years. As In Berlin, King WH-. Ham can always spare a quarter of an hour from his more pressing business lor his labor of love and merer. After Privy Counsellor Bo'k, the .two court marshals, Puckler and Perponcher, are admitted, in order to receive the commands lor tbe day, in respect to driv ing out, riding, invitations, visits, audiences, the reception of deputations, Ac. After this, the King usually receives his generals?Moltke, Boon, Boyen, Podblelske and Trenkow. Punctually at nine the ?djutant-major on duty for tho day announces hlmsell. Through this genllernau all commands must pass; he must accompany the King wherever he goes during the day, and has to keep the journal of the roval labors performed during the day. The King then receives the reports Irom the civil and the military cabinet?, or that of Count von Bismarck, a task usually taking up in all about three hours for completion. In the meantime announcements are received, aud iences granted, dispatches received and the same referred to the proper officials; and the marching by of the troops before the prefecture for the royal Inspection constantly interrupts the usual daily routine. After the reports have been received Irom the various departments the Monarch makes or receives princely visits, goes Into the hospital, or looks at the curiosi ties and things of note iu the town, being ac companied on these visits by a single ndjutanf. On excursions iu tho neighborhood, however, he is accompanied by the staff guard. This personal courage ot the King, together with his kniuhtly appearance, has had a remarkable good effect upon the people of Versailles, who greatly admire both. The King lives very temperately. Between the receptions of the morning he usually par takes of cold vlauds, and at four goes to dinner, which 13 a very simule and almost citizen-like affair. Only one sort of wine Is brought upon the table; champagne is never seen there except on the occasion of the birth day of a member of the royal luraily or a princely personage. Only once during the campaign was champagne brought upon the royal table, and that was on the evening of the 1st ol September, after the battle of Sedan. Alter about half an hour's conversation alter dinner, the King withdraws to his own room, opens and reads the letters and dispatches that have arrived, and receives persons de manding favors or grace. It Is a noteworthy fact that the King never sleeps in the after noon. From dinner till tea-lime tho monarch employs his time in finishing up the odd work ot the day, the reading of the Spcner Zeitung, or Important newspaper articles, as well tus correspondence with his family, and the dis patch of telegrams. Tea-time comes at nine, when in the society of invited persons a pleasant conversation flows freely. Alter this meal Is finished illus trated books are looked through, important newspaper information read aloud, and events and personages of the day are treely discussed. The King does not smoke, as a rule, but in largo companies ot gentlemen does so. About eleven he withdraws to his room, and works up to about one. All the guests invited to din ner aud tea are chosen by the King himself. On days of battle the King rides out early, and occupies A place previously agreed upon, a number of horses being held iu readiness for him. count nrsMAjicK is considerably younger than the king ami Moltke, being fltty-tive years cf age. His lire Is simple and unpretentious. Exterior bodily enjoyments hardly exist for him at nil. Think ing aud working All up nearly his whole life. In the Held he lives almost more retired than In Berlin; the '"hermit" ofBarzin has changed Into a ' hermit" of Versailles. Count Bismark lives in Versailles In an Isolated villa In the Hue de Provence, pretty f*1* distant Irom the other members ol the royal headquarters. He gen erally gets up atabciit uino o'clock In the morn ing, being accustomed to live in the French manner ever since he wusambaasador in early Il le. For his breakfast ho takes tea and two eggs, and on this he works uninterruptedly until three in the afternoon. When occasion demands it ho rides at uoon to the King, spending about half an hour witn him. About four he takes a horseback ride in the suburbs ol Versailles, usually accompanied by his cousin, Count Bis murck-Bohlen, who is councillor of legation, and at the same time chief ot his cabinet. At home, Bismarck generally wears, when work ing, a simple brown sleeping-gown; lor the reception of visitors, and outside the house, he dons the well-known yellow cuirassier uni form of his regiment. At halt-post live ho lakes dinner with his officials, including even his secretaries. This meal is very simply pre pared by the ministers own cook. After the table is cleared ihe premier talks with his "ili cials seated about the Are grate?tho pleasant uppcaraucu ot which seems to give him much nlisfaction. He then returns lo his room, aud works uninterruptedly until one. During the entire day'the Count receives the reports of his officials, holds conferences with diplomatists and receives visits Irom high civil and military iiersofuiges. Dispatches and letters are received at all hours ol the day and night. Messengers, private, military, postal aud telegraphic, make their appearance at all hours. Bismarck smokes but little, but loves a warm room, since he. is often troubled with rheumatism. Iiis be l and bedroom furniture are very plain. In Versailles he works in 0 small back room which rnnny a country pastoi would spurn. It was only with great diffi culty that a small reception saloon was arrang ed iu the villa; previously he had tu receive foreign diplomatists in Iiis bedroom. Lackin? an outer room the usher has to sit in the corri dor. Thus small and simple is tbe apparatus in which history is coined In Versailles. The officials surrounding the Count, and whe occupy for the most part the same villa, livt I Just as plainly as their chief. These are Privj, Councillor ol Legation, Abeken, Privy Coun cillor of Legation, Baron von Kendell, Coun clllors of Legation, Counts Hatzfeld and B?cher, Councillor of Legation, Bisraarck Bholen, the chiffreurlsts, St. Blancard and Wiser, the secretaries Bolslng, Willlsch and Dr. Busch. The King's dispatch writer, Tag lloni, Dr. Stleber, the director of the army olice. belong, in their official capacity, to the ousehold of Count Bismarck. COUNT nEIJfUTn TON MOLTKE, general of infantry and chief of the general staff of the army, lives in No. 99 Bue Neuve, Versailles, in the house where the bureaus ot the general staff are-found. Moltke, too, lives in a very plain manner, Is active and busy from early morning until late at night. He rises between five and six every morning, and after coffee works from six to eight. Then comes the quartermaster-general ot the army, Podblelskl, with whom he confers until ten, when both are driven to the King's quarters At eleven Moltke returns, takes his lunch, and then drives out to inspect the military opera tions in the neighborhood, accompanied by his two adjutants. After returning he disposes of the dispatches and letters that have arrived, and at five dines with his entire staff of twenty officers. After table Moltke goes to work, ex cept when he is commanded to tea with the King, and retires at eleven, or at latest, twelve. Moltke is very plain and unpretentious, and bears unmurmurlngly all the privations neces sitated by the war. He has only one servant, named August Frlebe. He is always to be found during his morning inspections of the the outposts or? viewing the points chosen for the planting ot guns. During the campaign he has often been exposed to the enemy's bul lets. He was in the palace ot St. Cloud Just before the Are broke out, and while the French were sending shells upon the buildiug. He looked Into the imperial sleeping department, and while the bombs crashed through the roof and wall he stood musing for some time before the bed of Napoleon III, which was half crushed, and then said, calmly: "He will not bleep here at least any more !" During the fights Moltke can always be found In the frone. He is very sparing in his words: he listens, but seldom speaks. But towards the soldiers and young officers, all of whom fairly venerate him, ho is very iriendly, and always addresses them when nc sees them in the blvouack or meets them upon the march. "What sort of a night have you passed ?" "Did yon get wet in the night ?" "How have you passed the night ?" and simi lar questions are always ready at his tongue's end, and he frequently enters into conversa tion with the men. On the 2d ot September, alter the surrender of Napoleon, Moltke rode into Douchery past a troop ot grenadiers, and hailed one of them with the words, "We've captured the Emperor; now we'll soon be going home again !" Avast number of such anecdotes are circulating im;Versailles ot these three personages, proving that they all are fa vorites with the soldiers, as once Frederick the Great, Blucher and Stein. GREAT FIRE IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. Logs $250,000?Destruction of the Union Office?List of the Sufferer*. [From the JacksonviUe Union Extra, Dec. 20.J The most disastrous fire which has occurred In this city since the war, broke out last evening, and entirely destroyed the buildings on both si -es of Hay street and tnc south .lue of Forsyth street, between Pine and Lanrn streets, with the excep tion of a few buildings on the latter street. About half post seven o'clock a wooden building situated on the wharf, directly behlud and con nected with Messrs. Davis A Drew's furniture warehouse, was discovered on Are. The upper story of this building was used as a warehouse and factory by Messrs. Davis 4 Drew, and was filled with furniture, moss and other articles. The lower story was used by J. M. Fairbanks 4 Co., and by W. M. Drew as a storehouse, and was filled with lime, cement, hatr, plaster, hay and other articles. Adjoining this building, on the south, was M. W. Drew's Ice house, contuinlug about 250 tons of Ice. The flames, as soon as dis covered, broke one, apparently, all oven lie build ing, spreading high into the heavens, and surging over the brick buildings In front In less than tlftcen minutes the furniture store of Dav... 4 Drew, and the store of J. M. Fairbanks 4 Co., and the building occupied up stairs by the Florida Union ofllce, and down stairs by Spencer, Max well A Co., were enveloped in names, which spread so rapidly that it was Impossible to save any of the contents. These budding were of brick, two stories high. The wind, fortunately, was light; but it blew from the south, carrying the flames across Bay street to the wooden buildings on the opposite side. From the Union office the fire spread to S. B. Hubbard's store, filled with a large stock of hardware and housekeeping materials, and his warehouse and tin shop In the rear; then to PolU's new building, occupied on the lower floor by A. N. Pace as a grocery store, and by Maj. Bolbrook's newly fitted up bar arid lunch room; the second story was occupied by the Freedman's Bureau otUce, aud in the third story was a large hall where Prof Bailey's theatrical scenery stood. Next to this building were the small wooden build ing owned by H. EL Hoeg, Esq., and occupied by Dzulynskl 4 Berlaok, and by W. S. Dodge, as auctioneer stores, which were swept away, us well as several large wooden warehouses and several hundred cords of Are wood plied on the wharves. The wharves were entirely destroy ed nr. tins point. It seemed for sometime Im posable to save Mr. Docg's flue new Atlantic block, which was separated by only a narrow passage-way from Dzalynski's auction room, but by the strenuous exertions of the firemen and citizens, with water passed up in buckets, and two streams from the.stearu fire engine, the build in 2 was saved and the tire checked in that direc tion. Towards the west, the Arc spread rapidly from Davis A Drew's building to Holmcs's block, occupied on the lower floor by Huir4 Freldeuberg and Potsdamer a* clothtng stores, and Smith 4 Brother as a grocery. The second story wa< oc cupied as a furniture warehouse by W. II. Hub bard. This building, with the structures and wharves la the rear, were entirely destroyed, and the flames attacked the splendid new three story building belonging to Messrs. Ross 4 HaselMne, known as Masonc Hall, swelling over the high roof and lapping around the corners In vain efforts to gain ahold; but the solid brick walls aud iron shutters resisted the attack, and though the building was for a long time in imminent danger, it was finally saved. un the opposite side of the street, the flames from the Union office seized upon the wooden balldlng owned and occupied by T. s. Eells as a general dry goods and grocery store, and imme olately swept away the em Ire row of wooden buildings on that side or the street, from Witch en's brick store, near Laura street, to the corner of Plue street, and, extending back, swept away several buildings on the south side of Forsyth street, including Mrs. D. Jones's house and milli nery store, and Frank Howard's siable bull ling (unoccupied.) The new Freedman's Bank balld lng, in process of erection, narrowly escaped de struction, and the St. John's House, the Magnolia House, and other buildings on the north stde of the street, wore only saved by the strenuous exer tions of the occupants in extinguishing sparks and wetting the roor and piazzas. The wind freshened about 9 o'clock and drove large volumes or sparks upon the rear or the city, endangering the houses hair a mile away, and causing the owners to mount the roofs with water buckets and ! lankcts. Several houses some distance from the inatnflrd were ignited, but quloKly extinguished. THE FLOniDA L'NION' OFFICE. The Cames appeared so suddenly In the Imme diate rear of the Union office, nnd came pouring through the backoillce windows so quickly and llercely tliat no time was allowed in which to re move the material, though several men were en gaged at the time lu rhe front room. An attempt was made 10 save the books and papers In the edi torial room, but without success. A few papers were secured, but, rhe fiirnituro. including a valua ble llbnirr, d-sk furniture, flics, aud papers were lost. Jo the business oftice tue clerk (who was hlmseif seorrhon in the proce-s) succeeded in saving the ace tin: atrA subscription books, but could nos remove the most valuable contents of the safe, which weir down in Hierum?.
