VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1578. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. HAS PARIS SURRENDERED ? CONTR ADICTO RT REPORTS. Great Excitement In London and Brus? sels-Only Five Day?' Rations In Paris The Surrender to be Unconditional King William's Kt (urn to lit i lin Ev peeled-Trie Collusion BetWefn Bis? marck and Napoleon Denied-Gari? baldi Surrounded. BERLIN*, January 36. The reported presence of Favre at Brussels, though not officially confirmed, has caused in? tense excitement. The people repaired to the palace, hoping to have the confirmation from the Queen's lips, but.iotelegram had reached her Majesty. All public offices were closed, and business generally suspended. Tho fact is known officially here that only ?Ive clays' lull rations remain in Paris. LONDON, January 25. ? It is stated upon unofficial bat trustworthy authority that the Germans wilHnslst upon an unconditional surrender of Paris, her lons and defences. The report published in the Times of a col? lusion^ between Bismarck, Napoleon and Eu? genie's unfounded. It ls stated that; Garibaldi is surrounded near Dijon. The Daily News says that Favre returned from Versailles to Paris on Wednesday. The bombardment of Paris conlinues. It is stated that King William has written to Queen Augusta that capitulation is imminent, and his speedy return to Berlin i3 expected. Making Ready for Peace. LONDON, January 26-Noon. The Prussians destroyed the bridge over the Cher near Tours. The Prussians have aban? doned the siege ot Cambrai and other for* tresses in the ea-,teru department of the North. Unconfirmed Reports. LONDON, January 2G-3 P. M. On inquiry at the German Legation here at noon to-day, lt wag ascertained that no infor? mation of the capitulation of Paris had been received either there or at the British loreign office up to a late hour last night. Th? reports that Favre had made propositions lor capitula? tion remained unconfirmed. WASHINGTON, January 27. There is no official confirmation of the sur? render of Paris. The French legation here represents the probable situation as being, that after the resignation of Trochu, those controlling Paris proposed a surrender which Bismarck declines to receive until prelimin aries of peace are signed which will bind all France. A special to ihe New York World from Bras sels^January 26, makes Bismarck, (In reply to Favre's assertion that Paris cannot bind the. Bordeaux government) say: "If the Republic rejects the- terme, the Empire accepts them. You must choose between their acceptance and the restoration, of the Empire." Favre departed for London. LONDON, January 26. . A dispatch from Berne says, since the 23d the French pickets along the border have pre? vented egress from France into Switzericnd, and are imprisoning strangers. The Gernums have stormed Graynou;b, and repulse*.', a French attack upon Vlllars. ADDITIONAL DISPATCHES. The iollowing telegrams, although earlier in date, will be found interesting : , Tlie D. pv<--.s?on In Paris. PARIS, January 21-Night. The terrible reverses of Thursday at Bazauv al have had the mose discouraging influence. Dispatches from Bourbaki and Chansey were published yesterday, and they constitute an ensemble which plainly presages that the end. is at hand. Last night at ll o'clock a general summons to arms was sounded in the turbu? lent quarters of Belleville and Charonne, but so depressed were the miserable population that no more than Uvo hundred men respond? ed to the call. It was useless for such a cuther? ing to make a'descent on the Hotel de Ville, so they'gave np the job In despair, aud betook themselves tothelr cold and cheerless beds. To? day the prefect of the police stationed titree strong regiments of the National Gu ird at the. Hotel de Ville, and caused the adjacent streets to bristle with mitrailleurs. The unhappy citi? zen jjtif Puris art; too much wasted by misery to be able to initiate a revolution, although lt ls probable that soon riots will occur In the streets. In many quarters the wildest projects have been mooted, and the-names of the r?volu*, tlonary chiels, Rollin, Deles and Flourens, are bandied about with the view of forming a new government, but lt is doubtful il even such men will accept the responsibility. The News lu London. LONDON, January 25-P. 51, There is tremendous excitement, at the West End, over the rumored treaty for capitu latlon of Paris. Many doubt the truth of the re port, and this dlsbellet ls increased by a rumor that Favre ts actually on his way to London to attend the Conference. It ls said that he is expected in Lo?don at 2:15 io-day. This is improbable. On'Change there is an efferves? cing excitement, the members are gatherlmr In groups, taiking eagerly, and edltlons'of papers brought In are anxlouslv scannedi .Everything is rising, yet but little is do? lo g. as members are too excited. West End Clubs are crowded afc an unusually early hour and In Omnibusses und railroad cars, tbe sub? ject forms the one tople of conversation, and calculations of all kinds are made. Among French residents general satisfaction is ex? pressed. Their opinion ls, that the news ol' the capitulation is well founded, and they ac? cept the fact of Trochifs resignation as proof ol its truth. Neighborhoods most Irequeuted by French refugees-LeceUter Squareaud Soho -present. Just now, a singular appearance. Every street is lilied with groups of people wildly gesticulating. - UPA IN. . ' MADRID, January 24. Minister" Martos ls about to Issue a diplo* matte circular on the fJieign policy ot Spain. It will show a conservative tendency, and ex? press a desire for a good understanding with the Pope.

LETTER PROM WASHINGTON. Ben Butler Floored by av Georgian-The Good EflVctn af Governor Scott's Hies, -sage- An Interesting Report from China-Political O(Klook-Dangars of | a Long Session-The Indian Problem -Hon. Fernando Wood's Reception, Ac die. - A [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON^ January 25. For once la his Concessional careter "the member from Lowell," the domineering, ty? rannical driver of the majority In the House of Representatives, has been vanquished, and with his cohorts routed and discomfited. The defeat is a signal OD?, because ol the complete complacency with which the representative bad assured his friends that he would be triumphant. The occasion was on the presen? tation ol the credentials of Hon. Mr. Corker, representative elect from the Fifth Georgia District. General Young, of the Seventh dis? trict in that State, performed that service, and asked, in a matter of course way. that tue member be sworn, There is little, necessity lor r?it?r?t ing previous reports ol the discus? sion'which then commenced, ending ih the representative taking his seat ; out the subject has created no little comment, as it exhibited plainly the fact that with Arm men to War against Butler's encroachments upon the rights ol' the Southern States-mci who are representatives ot that section-the 'dfact of bis manipulations Is materially dissipated. Butler In objecting to Corker's admission, broke out with the old "Outrage" story; bra Young replle;Twtth such j solid vehemence in defence ol'lils section from the charges, that the fairer-minded men on Hie Radical side of the house must, have blushed to think that that they have permitted them? selves to be scared at the terrible ya: us used by Hie party as their most effective" weapons. Youug had a copy of the Police Gazette at hand to show up crime at Hie Non h if the ne? cessity came and the discussion on outrages continued. It mny come in use yet. In the meantime let it be' said that the Democracy 11 are glad to see a representative Southern man | i asserting lite rights ot bis State so nobly, and let it be told as well that the Indications of I I yesterday are extremely favorable lor the Southern Suites. Their representatives will hereafter be admitted In the House when cre? dentials in proper shape are presented while j tlieir.defence fiom charges or outlawry and 11 disregard ol' law 1B in the lunch of men who shall put the caiinnlnators to sim me. The single instance ot Governor Scott's re- i oent message has set the better classes ot J te- t publicans thinking, and influential members of i the party in both houses ol Congress endorse ( U. Other States in the South in addition to f South Carolina will have reason to be glad i that such a message appeared just at this ( time, for lt baa opened a question among raen who have not given heretofore the heed that should have attended the refutations, from various sources, of the palpuble falsehoods which have been In vogue. A very interesting official loiter was received it the Navy Department to-day. from Rear Ad? miral Rodgers, commanding the United Stales , squadron in Asiatic waters, gi vi tig a lull re- f port ol a trip ipto the Inferior of China. The : tdmiral writes graphically of the signs ot de- % :ay ot the Chinese Empire, and in tue course , jf his report asserts his bellet that the Tient- I ?in massacre would have been revenged by Hie French but for the present war, and that iven now retribution ls only postponed. He tiso believes that thc nie ol' China can be lisposed ti) acquiesce in the age's progress, as .hey appear vigorous and thrifty, while the impire la-an the road to destruction. There has been no chango for sometime In the political outlook, and while the Radicals ?n not-and really do not care to-conceal ihel'r Tears that'the signs of the times bode -hem no good, ns yet, excepting In those easies^ [.hat all know are desperate remedies, and ?? likely to kill as cure-as witnessed! the Mor? ion resolution-there is no sluud taken against Ike gradual advance of triumphant conserva? tism. One reason lor this is the tact that no Important move cnn be made which will not bring in its train conflicting interests; und every-man who has kept in inkui the animosi? ties so rampant in the party, ?6 aware that their .present conflicts are too much to carry without incurring more.. Now, this very fact ls a cause of the nnxlety of so many prominent Radicals not to prolong the -session alter tho Atti of Marc j. Be? tween now and that date there ls not time enough for important retornas which are in view. Afterwards there ls no special limit, so that whun new matters are np for deliberation the discussions wlM have free range, and no one will be able to tell whither they will lead. The general policy at present isto follow in ihe waite of the President and work qmrtly, al? though lt is plain to all that.the rei ?con ce con? cerning party movements, especially where* appointments lo office are depending, luis ?erved to give no satisfaction. ' There are no caucuses and very little com? munion ol sentiments in the'party because of the knowledge so widespread that their situa? tion and their plans ?re desper?te. In open ?ongressloual session there is a display ot unity on party Questions'Bolely; but upon mat? ters of paramount interest' to the nation there ?as actually been nothing transacted. When mighty subjects relative to questions of tariff ?hipping Interests, 'annexation (in proper shape, as when the proposal to annex St. Do miugo or Canada, are directly before Con? gress) the seeds of dissension will sprout. This (viii tte seen if t.iis session is prolonged alter :he 4th of March. Pennsylvanians, (excepting a certain few ivho have n?en colaborers with tile internal revenue office und.the President,) are grit? ting their u.eth with iago because ol the' re? noval of prominent and influential Radicals in the recent revenue consol ?dallon in that Stale, the effec* ot which will be that she will not rote Tor Grant tn the next Republican Conven? tion, if the assertions ol lsadlng politicians o? hat State are entitled to any weight. The Indian problem .continues lo vex Con? fess, Hie War Department and thc. adinitils .ratlon. The-Pi^sldent ls with the hnmanita -ians, who want to civilize the savages. Con gr?es is divided between feeding and fighting them, while the War Department rather in? clines to the side of the fighting men. Others want to give tile red men the ballot, and the chances ure that by spring thura wi!! be a mud? dled condition of Indian affairs, which the red men may unravel by going on the war path and giving the lighters a taste ol war. Hen. Fernando Wood gave a party last night, which ls commented upon as one bf the most delightful receptions of the season. The guests had special reason to think so, for their entertainment was adorned with a courtesy and easy elegance which is charac? teristic or the receptions of that distinguished gentleman and Mrs. Wood. There is certain to be another -'row" be? tween Senators Conkling and Fenton over the New York Customhouse, In a short time. The present feeling between- those senators pre? cludes the possibility of harmony in the Radical party in New York during the present admin? istration. The mutterings of war between the senators mentioned commenced yesterday, and was resumed to-uay in the Sunate. The end is not yet. The negro population here will lobby again?t the territorial bill for this district. * It takes away cheir suffrage, and they think Congress is abandunlng them to their enemies. It will be curious lo~note if they and their pale-faced brolhers in politics can influence Congress. ELK RIDGE. THE MARTIAL LAW BUSINESS.. Report of General Anderson-Condition andi Temper of thc TJp-Country-More Land Investigations. [FROM OUR OWN CORRBSPONDKNT] COLUMBIA, January 25. The excitement attendant upon the martial law business and the Kerrigan affair having subsided, the public mind seeks for something more on.which to teed. We do not venture to predict what the next sensation will be, unless lt Is the report of some one of the numerous investigating committees already appointed Some ol them are doing good work, and will report in a few days, when startling develop? ments may be looked for. GENERAL ANDERSON AND THE UP-COUNTRY The Interview claimed to have taken place between General Anderson on his arrival here from thc up-country and the correspodent o? one of your contemporaries, ls somewhat .'mixed." We claim to have had a veritable interview with that person, and publish it as the "genuine article."' THE ANIMUS OF THE VISIT. General Anderson visited Union and Spar tanburg under mliltary orders from the Gov? ernor, which, of course, he was bound as a soldier to carry ont to the letter. The disarm lng ot the militia was done by him as a purely military measure. The mll'ltlu there were in the habit of taking their ' guns to their houses and using them for shooting game. The arms became scattered, and were" worse than use less to the militia. General Anderson, how? ever, was free to use his discretion in many matters, and endeavored -in all that he did to bring about a friendly feeling. AT SPARTAXBURG. He arrived in Spartanbtirg on Thursday, and a special sale was being made at the Court? house. There was a large crowd present, and he conversed willi many of the most promi? nent men. He had a long and interesting con versatlon with Colonel G. Cannon, formerly Lieutenant-Governor, and for sixteen years a State senator, at the termination ol which it was arranged that a large meeting should be called of-all the people, 4n the -Limestone Springs region, without- regard'to class or color. IN LIMESTONE REGION. Tlie meeting was called and held last Satur? day. The Limestone region ls where all the whippings, Ac, In Spartan burg County, are alleged lo have taken place. The meeting was the largest that has been held In that part of Lhe country for years. Great, enthusiasm was maul rested, and a general hand-shaking en? sued. Speeches were made by General Can? non, Colonel J. H. Evans and Senator Joel Foster. Resolutions were passed pledging Hie (leople to use their Influence In preventing these outrages, and if.necessary to put them lown by force. The people there understand the policy of thc Governor of the Slate, and will co-operate with him heartily. MORE LAND ISVfiSTI?ATIONS. The special Joint committee to iuvesligate [he land commission are holding their meet ng and taking some intereM.ing testimony, | i iv'.iich will be presented shortly. Mr. Wim misil wants tn push matters, however, and offered the following resolution, which was igreed to : Resolved by the Senate, the House of Re? presentatives concurring, That a committee of h fee be appointed on the part of. the Senate ind-on the part ol the House of Repre? sentatives, to Investigate, thoroughly, the ope? 'anons of the slnklug fund commission, and hat they have power to examine said com nlseloners under oath, to compel them to pre luce all records, books, papers, documents ind other written evidence which In auywlse ippertain or refer to thu transactions of said lommission, and that said committee be lirected to report to the General Assembly vlthln five days. THE COMING ELECTION. An election to 911 the vacancy caused by the eslgnation of Judge Vernon is already being nooted. A concurrent resolution, fixing the 0th of February 4or the day ol' election, was dopted In the House yesterday. It Is possl >le lhat there will be no election, for Nash has liven notice of a bill to abolish the Seventh udicial Circuit of this State, and to assign the he counties thereof to tho Filth, Sixth and ?ighth Circuits. 901X08 OE THE GENERAL ASSEM?

Arnlra'd bill to prohibit Hie retailing of piriluous liquors, during sessions of court, nd on sale-days, at the county seats pl all the lountles in the State, except Charleston and Meilland, is a sweeping one indeed, and will educe considerably thu income of liquor ellers.

Hayn? md Arnim spoke jor the bill, and Wimbush inposed*. The enacting clause was stricken Hit. SALE OF STATE LANDS. WhlUcinore has introduced a Joint re6oli> ion to sell the State lands In the county of darlington for $4 28 per acre, which has been dened to his committee on, puulic lands. These are the lands, if we mistake not, which vere sold to the State through the agency or )T. Lenney,formerly occupying Whittemore's ?eal. It is rumored that these lands cost the State some seven dollars per acre. AMBKPSra THE SCHOOL LAW. After a year's trial it-is proposed to amend he f>eho'jl law by a bill almost as long as the jill itself. Beside the amendments on the bill,' hero are a large number proposed by the ior.itnittec to which it was referred. Most of he amendments-ere in keeping with the re iommendations made by the State -ni perin len? ient of education In his last report. Several lections of the bill were passed on yesterday, md it will come up as unfinished business his morning. The most important ot the tinetidments is one providing that the salaries >t school commission TS shill be $500 each, .xcept In Charleston, where there shall be one o each ward, who shall constitute a board br tlie city. This amendment has passed. THE USURY BILL. The Jndielarv committee have at last re? ported the usury bill of Mr. Wilkes. The re? tort is simply favorable; no recommendations ire made.

THE CURE-ALL. . Some of the enlightened here .seemed to imagine that the General Assembly Is a cure all for each and .every 111. If anything -goes wrong, the Assembly can set it rieht. Mr. Goodson gave notice yesterday, in the House, of the introduction o? a bill to authorize Wm. B. Anderson, of Abbeville County, to practice the profession ol veterinary surgeon in South Carolina. EXPENSES OF TUE IMPEACHMENT. It seems that the impeachment is* not to cost the State so much aaer all. Mr. Whipper, chairman of the late board of managers in the impeachment proceedings here,' rendered-a report of expenses of the same, in accordance with a resolution. The report stated that the board was not aware'of any money having' as yet been drawn frofh the State treasury on ac count of such proceedings, but that the follow? ing bills were outstanding, viz: Aggregate counsel fees, $1500, and expenses Of serjeant at-arms for the purposes of summoning wit? nesses, Ac, $250-making a total of $1750.

PAVING CODNTT INDEBTEDNESS. Mr. Swails presented yesterday the petition if the county commissioners of Williamsburg County, praying that they be authorized to aorrow a sufficient sum of money, on the best terms practicable, to pay up and liquidate the indebtedness of said county now existing, md to give the bonds ol the county, payable ii not moro than ten years. This funding business is getting to be quite extensive. This petition will not probably be tcted on until Mr. Whlitemore'a bill allowing .he county commissioners of Darlington' to 'und $25,000 of their county indebtedness is Jecided upon. TUE SUEZ CANAL. UH Iltiulti, Financial and Otherwise. Thc Suez canal has now been a twelvemonth ?vorking; and it is officially stated that the ro .eipts average about ?20,000 a mouth, or about ?240,000 a year. The headquarters ol' the com? pany being In Purls, tho war and siege have prevented tho iK>uaf official repurt being made, ivlilch should have given Information regard rig the net as well as the gross revenue: but he statement as to the gross traille affords some material for a retrospective glance at tile miiclpations ol traffic and profit which were ndulged In ii twelvemonth since, and which we .bowed to bo exaggerated. The promoters of :he enterprise:, it will be remembered, did not dirink from calculating ou a traffic of two or hree million lons o? .shipping per annum, and this Immediately; and no doubt if the Canal md such a t raffic lt would pay very well. The Canal would do very weU. we said, if at first me or two million tons of shipping annually nude use of lt. ?h? statistics .now published show that the average i raffle has not yet reach nl the figure ol' one million tons-receipts of | ?240.000 per annum at 10 francs per ton only implying a trade of about 600,000 tons per an-" imm? in point of fact, now that we have ex? perience to guide us, the Canal has hail unex? pected luck Tn obtaining even this traffic The screw-steamers which use lt almost exclusive? ly ure of a kind which did not exist a very few years ago; and lt ls certain the promoters eonld not lmve foreseen that when the Canal ivas inaugurated, not only would such steam? ers be in existence, buta number ot them laid lip, or about to be laid up. for want of business, would be suddenly available for a new ven? ture. But for the remarkable progress &t>\ mechanical invention since the Canal w'os com? menced, it must have been a stupendous failure: and but far the singular conditions ol the ship? ping trade at- the time of Its Inauguration, Its blurt, though far short of the promoters' antici? pations, could not have been so good as it ls. The practical question now is how the Canal is to be kept open; and the gross return will per? haps be sufficiently good for this purpose, though we do not know yet what the working excuses have been. It will be ludicrously in? sufficient even to pay the debenture holders^ whose annual claim is double the amount ,of | ihe gross receipts; but If there is only a surplus of anv sort to be dealt with, there will be some possibilitv ol a new organization o? the com? pany, or the purchase ot its underlaking by ihe Egyptian Government.-London Economrst. The gas metre of the Brooklyn gas works exploded yesterday. A number of workmen, while clearing away the snow, were killed and wounded. REJOINDER OF THE ROUGHS A LITTLE MOSE SUNSHINE. ON THE ASSASSINATION BUSINESS. Affidavit? of Hoggett, Fcc, Corcoran and Hanley- Fortifying thc Statements Denied by Governor Scott-Commis? sions as Constables Signed Before tin Party Left New Torie-Hoggett'? OatU -The Trip to Colombia. [From the Sew York Sun, of Tuesday.] On January-16th the Sun published a letter from Mr. Samuel Hoggett, of No. 193 Madison street, in this city. Mr. Hoggett alleged that an agent of Governor Scott, of South Carolina, came to this city some three months since and engaged twenty-five men to go to Sonth Carolina to serve-as deputy State constable-. The chief ot this party was Colonel James ?. Kerrigan. They went to Columbia and were duly commissioned, and armed with Winches ter rifles. They found that Governor Scott and his intimate friends thought themselves Inconstant danger ot assassination by the bullets of the Ku-Klux; and they were in formed that their particular duty was to de fend them and kill their enemies. Some of the leadei'3 of the Ku-Klux were pointed out to them. They were promised that if these leaders were killed, the killers should receive ten thousand dollars for each man killed, and be protected by the State authorities. Yesterday the Sun printed Governor Scott's answer to similar allegations made by the lion James E. Kerrigan, and published in THE Cni.jtLE.sTON NEWS. Governor Scott denies the statements, and his denial Is backed np by let? ters from Colonel C. C. Puffer, J. H. Runkle, and General Anderson.

In Governor 6colt's letter, which was print? ed yesterday, the Governor says that on the arrival ot' thu party In Columbia, ''Baker, Ker? rigan and Lindsay called at my residence for the purpose ot' securing appointments lor some of their party to act as State constables for ihu arrest ol'-men who were disturbing Hiern with threats, ?c. I advised Colonel Ba? ker to get hiraseli or one of his meu appoint? ed deputy Culled States marshal, which hu agreed to-do, I at the same ?me agreeing to appoint some of his men men constables, that they might be authorized to make legal arrests, us it was alleged that some of the offending parties were from North Carolina, and lhat If they could be identifled they would be arrested and brought to Justice, or necessitated to leave the State." .' Tho commission of Samuel Hoggelt, which MsaoW at the Sun oiflce, bearing the red Beal of the State df Soiit h Carolina, shows that Hog? gett was apnoiirted constable on November 17, before he lek New York City- That commis? sion reads as follows: Seal.

To the Editor of the Sun: Sm-in Mr. Hoggetts letter to you about the Ku-Klux war in South Carolina, there are some very interesting features omitted, and one or two in which I personally am concern? ed. When I arrived in Columbia, Colonel Ba? ker came to me and asked me at what time I would be in bed. I told-him that I expected to go to a gambling house, and would not therefore be abed probably "before 2 or Sin the morning. He afterwards came to me and said: "Slip, I want to take you to see the Governor. I want you to go to Lanrens and break open the houses of Curley and Todd, and to take everything you can And of value. If they wake up, kill them; and In case yon are arrest? ed you have the State to fall back on. If yon don't believe me I'll take yon to Governor Scott, and he'll tell you it will be till right." I thought he knew what lie was talking about, and therefore told him there was no need of going to the Governor. The following night he took me to Senator Cfews's house. ' When we. stepped Into the entry Senator Crews met us and said : "There ar? persons In thc house whom I do not wisli to besfnformed of our arrangements. We must not let them hear us talking, and so you go around to your room; 111 meet you there." I went around to my room accordingly, and shortly after my arrival he visited me with Colonel Baker. He told me he had been talk? ing with Baker about this ariah-. There was a great deal of trouble in Laurens with these men whom he wanted attacked, and lie said that if they were killed4ie could go home and live with his family. He told me, In case I was observed, to let the niggers know who I was. and they w*Ould give me ali the help I needed until I should succeed in reaching Co? lumbia. He'further told me, In case affairs did not look sale on my arrival in Laurens, tc go to his wife's house and Inform her as to who I was. She would conceal me, he said, until all danger was past. . - When Senator Crews came to New York, he was afraid to show himself to me; and when he found lt impossible to remain concealed from me, he asked me not to reveal anything that had happened between him and myself In Columbia; nor would he rest satisfied until I had promised to keep the transaction secret.

Trochtx'a featest Movement-V Inoy'i 8access-Tho Frenoh Army's condition -Tiring of Trocha-Prospecta fo*r Parla. [Correspondence of the New York TlmeaJ._ - Pajas,-'.Monday,-December 26. Last week M.?Trochu commanded for the first time in person a grand military move? ment, and Hie results were more negative than those he had previously confided to his two principal generals-, Ducrot and Vinoy. He moved two hundred thousand men on the enemy's works, half of them for feints and the other hall tor the principal attack on'the fortified villages af Bourget, Blanc-Mesnil, Punt Iblon uud Aulney. He look M. Ducrot with him, but the faeries were his own. M. Vinoy was charged with ihe principal feint, and the result of the day was that the feint be? came a real attack and succeeded, while the. governor's operations totally failed! Vinoy carried the villages of Neuilly-sur-Marne, villa ?Beeawl and-lhe Maison Blanche,. andJioiUtv Hiern, and thus Axes the French dag at a dis? tance ol six miles from-the fortifications, which is the farthest point at which it now floats. Bet?re, we were In the habit of talking of the '.Department of St. Denis," we now talk also of the "Department of the Marne." Our hori? zon grows by Inches, but it grows. . THE FRENCH. ARMY'S CONDITION. . In these operations the French army was the best equipped army that ever went to the field; for it ls the first time that any artillery force was composed entirely df breech-loading cannons and mitrailleurs. Their number also was formidable, and they appeared to be well handled; for they were carried close to the Prussian works and served with great reg ularitv and apparent coolness. The firing was not sd wild as ut Champigny, and the young French anny ls improving so fast that il the weather will only permit, the Prussians will soon be able to learn from their enemy a les- ' son in the use of artillery. It ls not lor a civ? ilian to judge of the movements on the field; but after many of the Prussian guns were silenced in the village of Bourget, it was a source of as? tonishment to all of us lookers-on, as well as to the soldiers themselves, that M. Trochu did not launch a brigade or division of infantry into the place. The disposition of the army, without being enthusiastic, was yet jood. The soldiers made ne complaint, and weat willing? ly wherever ordered. With such men ano" such a formidable artillery, thc Prussians ought to be driven away In u week's time. TIRING OP THOCHU. So well are the citizens of Park, convinc? ed of this tbat a movement is on loot to displace Troohu as governor and commander in-chief and replace him by either Ducrot or Vinoy. The people are tired of a mun who joins to a maximum ot' words a minimum ot acts, and who appears to be willing to allow his. reputation, as a great commander, to rest upon the length ol time he'ean starve withoutdying. The resources of Paris in food and in material ot war ls a source of astonishment to our? selves, which.grows greater us each day passes over our heads; but these resources are due to the remarkable men of science who Inhabit Paris, and not to its governor. The move? ment against the governor was started In the clubs ol Paris by the wealthy men of the city; but the poor, and the anny itself, are said to be willing to join in signing petitions for his removal. All that ls desired now is n new commander-in-chief and fair weatiier, and then you may .expect to see an army of two hundred thousand men pa?s" the enemy's lines, with the government in charge, and hurry away to join the oilier armies of the republic.1. PROSPECTS FOR PARIS. We will then, at Paris, be reduced to the dimensions of a municipality,-and the war will be carried on on a more colossal scale than ever in the provinces. It we are not then suc? cored inna effective way in a very short time, we will be obliged to capitulate-you cannot lmaginehow ugly that word sounds to us here In tue inside-and Paris may have her pros Eerl ty and progress paralyzed a long time yet y the presence within her walls of a Prussian Government and a Prussian army. -To" constitution of the oropo3ed new State to be erected in the Indian Territory has been transmit ed to tho Department of tlie Interior. The constitution provides for the division of the powers of uroveruiiieut Into executive, l?gislative and judicial departments. Tne executive powel? ls vested iu the C ?vernor, who ls to hold office for two ve irs, and to po*ess the veto power. There ls also tu be u secretary or State, wno lu ex-ojlcto State treasurer, and an attorney-gene ral. States attorneys are 'o t-e chosen. The judiciary is to ms veste lin a Supreme Court, three District Courts, and uumb.-r ul local tribunals suited to the wann of t:ie people. The Legisla? ture ls to be composed or a Senate arni Hense of RepresentHtlves, t:.e members of willett are to be chosen from the Choctaws, Cherokees, Chlcka-. saws. Creeks ami other natlous la proportion to their population. A bill to admit the new State will not pas? without decided opposition, and no final action un the subject ls likely to be taken daring thc present-Congress. -In the Louisville Courier-Journal, of the 19th, we Und the folio .ving : "A letter from Mrs. -Lee says tbat it is lier latentlon to have the General's remains removed to Richmond should she ever leave Lexington, and If not, she' wishes them at her death to be placed rh FJollvwood, and that she be burled beside him there." This settles the question that Richmond ls to be their final rest? ing-place, and makes it appropriate that there his grateful and loving countrymen should rear their greatest monument to his memory.
