NEW YOUR, December Csv The Herald's special correspondent at Bor? deaux interviewed Chardourdy, Ihe Freuch Minister' bt Foreign" affairs, who said lu thought peace is still distant, ai to accept the Prussians terms would n-dnce France to a third-rate power. Scarcely a man In France, rich or roo', is willing to allow the govern? ment ta giTe np territory. Arms ore plenty; we have offers of more t!:au we can use from England alone. Three montris ago it was * difficult to excite patriotism; now thc only troublb is to get the people to be patient. France is now struggling tor existence; if she is crushed, England will feel the loss more than^ny country. England'cannot dream of the consequence ii she should allow France to be exterminated. Russia wi ll then do what she pleases in thc east, and Prussia in thc west. England, without a single ally, will cease to belong to the family ol' European nations, aud will be reduced to a third-class power. Chardourdy then spoke in terms ol'deep in? dignation of the ingratitude of Italy, nud inti? mated tha; the day or reckoning would surely come tor that cowardly nation. He closed by saying that the new levees In the south and southeast were proceeding with success be? yond expectation. LONDON, December lT.

The weather in Southern France Is intensely cold. The Prussians bombarded St. Calais on the 25tb, and then entered the place and commit? ted many disorders. General Chansey sent a formal protest to the Prussian general, and subsequently issued .an order to-day saying: '.I have warned the Prussiaus against further perpetrations ol'such horrible outrages as they have committed against uuarmed towns and people."1 He adds: "It is evident that France is not combating loyal enemies, but d?vast?t lng hordes; but she will continue the struggle to preser-ve lier honor and Independence." VIENNA, December 2S. The journals contain a semi-official denial of the truth of the published statement that Von BeuBt has replied to Bismarck regarding the German Bund. MUNICH. December 28.

General Chansey complains bitterly of the conduct ol the PrusBfans. He denies havln been defeated, and avows bis Intention ul taking revenge for" the vat?dallsm of the enemy. St. Calais, in thc Department of the South, . twenty-six miles from Le Mans, has been vis? ited by the Prussians, who left the town after a requisition upon the inhabitants. It is said that Bourbaki ?is moving with his army to tnn eastern ? portion ol France to operate against General Werder. A special telegraph dispatch from Havre states that there has ?>e'."i intense excitement consequent upon a bat'Je which bas been go lng on stace the 26th iustant In the neighbor? hood. It is the first Important struggle be? tween the French troops lu this department and-the Prussians. For two days a fight had been expected, and although yet without d> clsive results, lt is regarded as a valuable ex perleoce in proving the efficiency ot the artil? lery, and tlie capacity o? .he Meblles aud the Tireurs In an encounter with regular troops.

It shows the French the utter uselessness of further opposition against their opponents, and it displays thc utmost harmony and strength of all ' thc German States io the heat ot the conflict. ANXIETY FOR TUE FALL OF PARll. The uncertainty ns to thc time when Paris will fall forms the principal topic of conversa? tion. In answer to tho demand /or the sneedy bombardment of the city the official organ of the Prussian Government assures tho- public that their military chief is fully awake to bis duty, and will leave nothing undone to speed? ily reduce the capital. TUG POSTPONED BOMBARDMENT. A belie! prevails hete that thc non-bombard? ment of Paris is due to tho influence ot the Queen of England; but the official journal re? plies to this opinion that it is due rather to the difficulty <'i roaching tho city effectively Irom thu present locations ol the Prussian batteries, which are yet incomplete and lacking in am? munition. FOP.WARDINC AMMUNITION. This latter assertion is well founded. For some days past the Potsdam and Anhalt Rail? way has daily forwarded one hundred wairon loads (d' llio largest projectiles, and thc great gun foundry at Spandau is incessantly at work manufacturing ordnance of the largest cali? bre. A bel'tet prevails in military ciicl-s that thc bom bard i neut ol Paris will begin bet?re Christ-mas, bal, while such sp-cuiutions ur? idle, all agree in tho opinion that the hill ol' Paris ts taulamuunt to tiie conclusion ol' thc treaty of peace;. TUB FUTURE GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE., Once in possession of the capital, the Ger? mans will take ?i linn footing and occupy the country uulU the French elect a responsible government. In regard to the .manner of ac? complishing luis, whether by upsetting the present government, recalling Napoleon, re? storing tho Orleans family, or by a convoca? tion of the general councils of France, llio widest opinions are formed, although those who are best Informed express the convic? tion that the only way out ol thc present laby? rinth is by the recoguition of the constitution? al government of Napoleon. MILITARY MEASURES. Wonderful eQorts are still makin? for a vigorous prosecution ol the war. Tho oldest classes of tho landwehr have been drafted and equipped and sent to. tho front, and culls are made for officers formerly in the service to re? turn to active duty. Officiais have been taken from the various departments and sent, with muskets on their shoulders, to All civil posts in thc occupied territory. Play bills iinnujince that actors, singers, scene shifters. &C., have gone lo the war, and similar lists are present of men absent from tho schools, universities, courts and hospitals.

The firmest determination exists among the ti oops, despite tho hardsnips which Hie/must encounter, not to cease in their efforts until they have brought tho war to a successful end. It now seems aa if liiere is little prospect ol that for the next three or lour months. But. the soldiers are resolute although ?ar distant irofn home aud country The invasion demon? strates to the German people that their desti? ny lies in tho bauds of their sovereign rulers, whose behests they are bound to obey. For this reason everything is planned and' execu? ted at headquarters, while the Prussian Diet retrains from war legislation, except to vote thc budget. Tlie liberals scarcely dare make their voices heard to v,ffer any propositions in behalt of the people. JJ ISM A T? cn cor jrjtjurca Hoxon. Germa.li Official Indictment A g a.

The following letter from Berlin is tele? graphed by cable to the New YorkJIerald : Count Bismarck, iu a circular dispatch to tho representatives of the North German Confede? ration serving, at foreign courts, and near to the seats ot* government in Washington ami Switzerland, dwells, in the first instance, on the fact that many French officers, among others Generals Ducrot, Barral nud Cambriola, have "lu violation of the word of honor" given on parole, rejoined the French anny, proving thereby that "the word of honor ol' trench officers does not, In all instances, constitute the guarantee for which It was accepted.*' The Prussian Premier lurther mentions that "tho French officers who are st ill held in Germany us prisoners of war have had to suffer nothing additional iu the way of a captive incodVe Dletice or rigor irom thc bad taiih of their com? rades."

The abuse which the people of tho South have received from adventurers who hnve come into our midst, and then .returned North to vent their disappointments through a press too ready to give credence to statements prelud?ela! to our welfare, occasionally reads upon the authors of the calumny and from their own associates elicits honest; indignation. It will he remembered thai, ono of this peen Hat class, nam-'.l C. C. Raker, about the time ot ihe late election, made representations con? ceiving UK* condition ot affairs In Union Coun? ty, wilie!' led ibihcinost extraordinary threats of punishment ou th? part of Governor Scott, and produced an amount of demoralization ! among the colored people of th it community, ' Irotu which Utoy seem, not even now, to have recovered. Baker, it appears,, was Interested in certain gold mining operations in Union. and withahim, it is alleged by the Union Times, was associated, directly or Indirectly, the Gov? ernor of the State. For some purpose best known to these parties - it may have been por soncl or political, or both-it was assumed that Baker's life was in danger from an imag* inativo Ku-Klux; that his business suffered tho most [rightful interruptions because he was a Radical, and Goally, that it was necessa? ry lo surround thc place with legal and semi military protection. Baker, accordingly,^ in? duced thirty men lo come from New York and proceed to the mines. Some of these individuals were of the roughest possible character, such as ave only to be lound in the lowest dens pl tim metropolis, and their very personal ap? pearance was proof to any man ?'amiliar with the species that, they were sent for to lurther some other object than labor in the minos. Arriving in Columbia, these worthies were appointed marshals or constables at the rate of S3 per day, supplied with revolvers and Winchester rilli'?, and forwarded to Union for tho purpose ol '.rejriiUiUnst" thai peaceable community. How briefly ih?y remained, and how they came through CI: .rloston uttering curses loud and deep against Raker and Hie Governor,'are matters with which the readers ol' THU NKwrf are familiar. Raker likewise proceeded to New York and Washington, and there retailed his horrors. It now appears from a statement in the Union Times that bc was In correspondence with Joe Crews before or during- the Laurens riot, and lt is believed thal these worthies combined to stimulate tho excitement and pqb.luco tho bad blood willoh originated from that event. "It has also leaked out," says tho sumo p iper, "that Baker r.t ouo timo meditated the murder of four respectable citizens ol Union, aud said "If Uley wno out of tho way, I could do as I pleased.' " Now for the exposure* and denouement. The writer of the following letter, Mr. Oliver Cornell, is tho supedntendvnt of the miners, and, by bia industry and upright conduct, has won tho co n Ado nee and respect of tho entire neighborhood. The gentleman who endorses the statement-Mr. Utlcy-Is tlic brother-in law of Bakor, and It is not lor a moment lo bo supposed that, under the circumstances, he would .'end his name to a falsehood, and indi? cate that even more than ls already revealed Is still held iu reserve. The facts need no comment: UNION COLD MINKS, S. C.. / December li?. 1870. J Eil'Uor Union Times: DEAR Sm-I have been requested by several prominent and res? pectable citizens ol this township to publish, through thc medium ol'your paper, aplali? and candid statement of the origin and progress of the disturbances that have prevailed al and near this mino within the past lew months. Their origin requires but little explanation; by thia time it is patent lo di that they etnana'eii from tile fertile brain ol'that iufamous charac? ter known as Colonel C. C. Baker. Il ls not my desire nor intention to make of him a bcapegoat, but upou him rests the entire blameof the trouble; and annoyance which h is justly exasperated this community and brought about a state ol' feeling lamentable to behold. Th<? first ebullition was a hue and cry that certain parties (a list ol whom he cJaiuuul to possess) were banded togeth? er with UH; avowed intention of burning thc mill and destroying the property and machi? nery belonging to thc-company." Winchester rifles were procured, with ammunition, and a gvneral'popplng {at a mark) ensued. In my humbie opinion there ls no person or persons in this vicinity who would dare feel Inclined lo perpetrate such an outrage. Were lhere such,' law-abiding citizens -existin this com? munity who would strive to their utmost to prevent the. consummation of such an object. Raker represented that he wan fired upon while passing from tho mine to the plantation of Captain West. I do not think, lu fact, feel assured, he. w;is not. unless by his OWL hand. He exhibited in Columbia a scar, slating luto bo tho effect ol a wound received al Ute hand ot some desperate Ku-Klux. Tue laci is this: .Maiming In the door oj our cabin, he fired a Winchester rifle, the copper cartridge recoiled from tim weapon, inflicting-the wound. It bei ?; slight, quickly healed, and no more was thought of lt, uut.il his relation in Columbia. The meh ho brought with lum from Now York city wore by him grossly deceived, and aller their arrival at lbs mine .treated with eriminid ncclect.1 Had ho made his appear? ance among I hem prior lo theil deparlurehe would havr been shutdown ike-adog, so just? ly wore they Incensed at his treatment. Many of them left situations of tru-t. and profit ut ihe North, deceived by his represen lat lons. Promises were made which he fulled lo fulfil, expectations were holdout which were not and C'uild not bo realized. Tl?! whole thing was a farce oi n serious character. There was not, iioi' is lhere now, any more necessity for a guard around the mino than for ono at the base ol''.lie Kooky Mono ains-no more danger ol tho destruction ot one limn the removal of tho other, In all his business, socldl and domestic relalIons, Baker ha? proven himself a liar, a thief und scoundrel.

Napoleon IV to be Proclaimed TC ni pe roi-, ' Marry a Hohenzollern and bc Happy Q,tiKcn Victoria Consoling t:ie * renell Empress-A. New Story ot Uer K?cape TU? Poverty of thc Bonaparte*. Tbo. World's London correspondent sais thew has boon much going and coming of late, between Chlse'hurst, Brussels, Windsor and Cassel, and he forv/ards a remarkable letter .which bas passed between distinguished per? sons, whose*names ?io is not permitted to dis? close. Tilia letter reveals a project to end the war, and, to say thc least Of lt, is quite inter esting. Here Is the plan: Tlie gist of the project is simply to end. the war by a reconstitution ol* the French Umpire in the person not el' thu Emperor Napoleon III, but ol his son. Tile Prince-Imperial is to be acknowledged as Emperor by Prussia, England and Russia, upon tho formal abdica? tion of lils l'allier, the Empress being named a3 regent, during his minority, and his majori? ty being fixed for March, 1874, at which, lime he will have attained* his 18th year. Pence willi France will be signed upon the razing ol tho fortifications of Metz, Tout and Vqrdun. Luxembourg will be annexed to Prussia as a province of Rhenish Prussia. Lorraine will remain absolutely French. But Alsace? Here, now, is i lie wonderful point ol' t his mosi curious combination, which I ask von to investigate ai London. Alsace ls to"be de? clared a free German State, ol which the Princess Charlotte, o? Prussia, the oldest daughter of the Crown Prince, is to bc de? clared Grand Duchess. The yoting Grand Duchess (she was boru In 18G0, and is now u more chili!) ls to be formally- betrothed to the Emperor Napoleon IV. vjt is-a case," sahl M-to me at Wilhelmshcho, '*of Anne of Brittany over again." But wc do not live In Hie age of Anne ofBrittany. So this modern condition is to go with ihe betrothal. Upon the consummation of the marriage, which is lo occur in 1875. the people of Aisace will be Called to vote either for complete annexation to Franco, nr fut a Rep?ralo administration nu? der a cusloins-unioii willi France, but wllji a protectorate of the rights ot the Grand Duchess and Empress vested lu the Imperial Crown of Germany. Tun will perceive in all this the spirit of 1824. It is indeed there. I'do not anticipate for thc plan. If indeed lt be seriously under? taken, any protracted opposition from the French, wlm are indeed, I believe, loo far gone too much demoralized and broken up to lung resist any plan which oilers them peace and some hope of respite. Nor yet Iroin our Ger? man people will any objections proceed. A German empress on tho throne ol* France, and in England princes of Germau blood rulinj with our Irontier advanced td the heart of Bel? gium and of Holland, what should we ask more? Pul M.-frankly owned to me, and I must say I found reason in what he said, that some disquiet existed both at Windsor an:.' ai Wi; helmshohe as well as at Versailles, concerning thu light in winch Hie English people might view the arrangement; Yet thu Queen has must cordially favored it, und in a close inti? macy with the Empress hus indeed fully embraced and applauded the plan. This 1 um well assured ul'; what 1 doubt more is Hie attitude of the Queen's Govern? ment. Consider and examine this and let us know your views. Tho Emperor Napoleon ls himself quite well disposed, I hear, to the pro? ject, but he lias absolutely mused to act at ail either In liirtiiurance or In hindrance ol lt. Bismarck regards lt, I have reason to believe, with extreme laver, notwithstanding his dis? like of the Crown Prince, with whom lt 1> said tu have orhrluatcd. He expressed to a iriend of raine at Versailles lately his belief tliaL noLli l?<? is left for the French but to make ihem selves thu supporters anu seconders of Ger many In Europe, and to rely Gar nubile stabUi ty upon the crown and arms ol* Germany, "thc corservator3 ot order in-ncolorlh."
