' ' -Tuere were ($34,345 French prisoners In Germany, Switzerland and Belgium at the conclusion of peace, and twenty-three great battles and flity-one important fights were fought during tbe whole-war. Of sieges there were twenty-flvev Number of'dead on both sides about 100,000 men, besides 200 006 woun-' ded. The bloodiest battle? were fought at Mars Ia Tour and Gravelotte.

The Rhein, which sailed Saturday for Bremen, bas about 100 in the cab? in, nearly all of thom of that nationality. The City of Antwerp, for Liverpool, likewise has many of the same class, and the steamers to leave this weok have few besides Teutonic names on their books thus far. -A New York letter" says : "A new move? ment ls now spoken of here among rho Pres? byterians, which may call to New York a shin? ing light of their church. There are severa] wealthy gentlemen in this olty who are strong? ly. leavened with. kind feeling? i?r the South, and realizing the success of Dr. Deemb's-effort among his Methodists,'desire also to establish a congregation that will represent the South? ern Presbyterian Church. These wish to call Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, to this city. He is a Carolinian by birth, and distinguished. ? throughout the South for his eloquence. The Presbyterian pulpits are generally very well supported here, but Dr. Palmer's advent would be warmly welcomed by a host of iriends." -A Washington letter ol the 12th Instant says: "The San Domingo commissioners are expected.in Washington by the 25th instant, . but jt ls very evident.that Congress does not desire to continue the session to await their arrival, though it is not Improbable that the President will ask the Senate to remain in ses? sion to act on a treaty, provided the commis? sioners have negotiated one. The statement iii a prominent administration paper that the. annexation project ls considered dead, does not find much approval in executive quarters, where its success ls regarded as even more probable than was the removal a week ago of Mr. Sumner from the chairmanship or-the for? eign relations committee. The friends of the scheme boast with great confidence - that the commission will be unanimous, and that they will be sustained by nearly every person who' went out wi th the expedition, thus securing outside of those officials a lair and Impartial endorsement. The principal opposition is ex? pected lrom Messrs. Schurz and Sumner, who are arming themselves, constantly with facts and figures. As heretofore frequently stated, tbe policy ot annexation by joint resolution was long since abandoned, as it; is manifest that it could no? pasa -the House. ? treaty, therefore, which requires two-thirds of the Senate to ratlly, wllfoe the precess." -The President ls reported as in high glee at bis victory over Senator Sumner, and his military tarally are chuckling at what t hey style the humlliatlen of Mr. Sumner belcre the very eyes, of the Britten lion whose tall he BO ' recently twisted. It is the glow ot the first boura ofter the combat, before he feels the . wounds, and a different mood must follow. . All exoept the little baud ol flatterers about tbe throne make no hesitation iu forecasting rds defeat and that or his party, while other troubles beside the purposed impeachment* by Mr. Sumner crowd upon him. There is that West Point affair, in wb ch the House has enacted that a prince of the blood must be tried by court mariifd.* The President refuses to appoint tbe court of inquiry demanded by the act of Congress, and is indignant at the in? sult pat upon bis family. Commissioner Wil? son, of the land office, tpo, does not submit to removal without telling w-hat he knows; and it must be another thorn In tbe President's side to hear it charged, on such good authority, that tho reason or the removal ot a faithful officer was that he failed to approve of a land?, grabbing scheme of the President's father. General Grant will have little time to enjoy, the triumph over-Mr. Sumner amid his gathering perplexities, for he Is rapidly becoming an ob? ject of pity rather than indignation. -The tru? cause ot the deposition - of Sum? ner Is given by the Washington Patriot and the correspondent of the New York Evening Post, as follows: It is known that Mr. Sum? ner took the most advanced position in regard to the Alabama claims and our differences with England. The administration adopted this policy, add Motley was sent to carry lt out. Then came a change of purpose, Motley's recall, the secret negotiations, with Great Britain, and the appointment ol the Joint High Commission on a very different basis from that supported by Mr. Sumner, and to which be did not conceal his opposition.' His pres? ence at the head of the committee on loreign relations was not only a standing rebuke to this new Boheme, but it was a posi? tive obstacle to its success before the s?SateTand nearly two months ago Slr Edward Thornton expressed to Secretary Fish doubts as to the administration being able to get such a treaty -as the. High Commissioners might agree upon ratified by the United States Senate so long as Senator Sumner remained* at J the head of the foreign relations committee, and entertained such views as 'expressed in his speech against the Reverdy Johnson treaty. The matter being discussed, and the 1 President consulted, the British officers were Informed thit their powerful and'obnoxious opponent, Mr. Sumner, would be removed from the position of honor he had held so long, and that by this act they Would see that the administration abandonedthe ground faked by him when he influenced the rejection of the Reverdy Johnson treaty. A foreign minister and 'friend of Sumner's, hearing of this, warned him of lt, but he paid little heed, and was soon alter taken ill. While oonfined to his bed, the previously arranged stories were started that he had prepared a bitter speech against the President, which was wholly untrue, tho design being to prepare the country for his removal on the ground of ne? cessity to the success or our f >relgn policy. His Hostility to the San Domingo Job, doubt? less, was another cause for his removal, as well as the jealousy of Morton, Conkllng ?nd others, who contd not brook his lead. Tile Fkll of Sumner. p Charles Sumner is dethroned. After re? presenting for twenty years in the-Coked I States Senate ail the peculiar "ism*' of which New England is th? soil ami Cost?n j the s?ed ground,'be has come to grief at the I hands of the man lie helped to power, During this long period, us the mouth-piece i of Massachusetts, he attained an eminence in tue Republican, party, and an influence which enabled bim to command men and measures with an authority little short of | despotic sway. In character, aa intellectual cynic ; a species > of pedantic Ben Butler ; crafty [without' being bold; cruel without being courageous; scholarly without being original; apolitical schemer whose states? manship scarcely lookecf beyond the mo? ment. Sumner sought in an unlucky hour ; to rule Grant 'as he bad ruled the Senate. Relying on bia poweras a New Englander, and as the exponent of the ideas that have been dominant in the North hod West for the past ten years, he issued from bis coun- I i eil chamber, aa Chairman.of the Committee '1 OD Foreign Affairs, pronunciamentos which practically declared war on the Administra? tion. He bas stood in the way of the settle? ment of the Alabama claims; he soug'ht to disturb the peaceful relations .existing be? tween England and the United States, and j was an obstacle to the acquisition of Sun ( Domingo-the favorite scheme of the Presi- i dent. Aggressive until he became "a thom t "in tfle flesh," the policy of- the Adminis- c tratiou demanded his removal from tbe im- 1 portant position ba occupied. How it was effected is a matter Of familiar ^ record. In a party caucus, by a vote of 26 to t 2L, his decapitation' was determined upon, ( and the Magnus Apollo of New England t Radicalism was forthwith unceremoniously c ejected from the chairmanship of the foreign c affairs committee to make room for Came- s ron, the servile tool of the Administration, r the railroad monopolisai the protective tanti ! advocate, and the representative ' of lire 1 vilest traits of American politics. Mr. Sumner iras been 'brought to the ( block' by bis party. It matters not that the r Presldent demanded his-head ki a charger; j the party is the executioner. The caucus l wbrk' wus'the work of the party. It matters' i not that the most eminent and able leaders ' of the parly, Logan,' the two Murrilla, 1 Schurz, Sherman, Trambull and Wilson, op posed an exeoution which was, really, a ^ punishment for independent action; the mediocre element of? the party overpowered rj them, and carried their point. Chand- e 1er and Morton marshalled the majority < at the bidding of the President, t and nearly all the scalawags and car? t pet-bag senators from the Son th?, 1 whom Mr. Sumner had so laboriously assist", ed into their seals, helped to strip him af his honors. When New England comes to complain of this treatment of her favorite [? statesman, she will have the mortification of -t reflecting that Pool, of North Carolina; Sawyer,- cf South Carolina;- Ames, of Missis? sippi; Kellogg and West, of Louisiana; Flanagan, of Texas; Osborne, of Florida, uud Brownlow,.of Tennessee, the creatures | . of her own policy of reconstruction, were the servile instruments by which the deed waa effected. The Republicap party can no longer claim '1 to be the .representative of independent thought amt action. It dares to strike down its most conspicuous and able leader for presuming to think and act for himself on a question that does not affect Hie declared policy of the party, and it will strike down ils next ablest lenders whenever they dure to commit a similar offence. Schurz and Sum? ner have been degraded; Trumbull and Wilson may follow, to-morrow, and, in tho end, there may be nothing left of the party but ita most worthless element, led by the strong will of the occupant of the White J J House. .When Hogut's ?tall Oat," ?ic. r The great split in the Republican party e is briuging out a torrent of honest opinion c on men and things that is all the more over- . whelming because it hna been pent np so p long. Radical journals are'-speaking ont all o over the country, and giving us a new idea F of their appreciation of the character of che e President and his friends. The Springfield ' Republican accuses President Grant of de- \ sorting the principles on which he was elect c id, and cbargea the present quarrei oniim md his,^vfU^^i?^?olicy.,, His a&ninistration jas been "no minore than respectable," -and ils owr? partan it ?as "caused more grief ??nd ar&iety iyhan gratificatioq." To sum jp the -.paraphrased " denonciations^of " Ibe Republican, General Grant is arrogant, dis iourteous, peevishly malicious-and despotic. With regard to certain prominent members jf the party, whom-we have before seen held ap as models of virtue and wisdom, the Worcester Spy speaks of Gameron as an gnorant?scbeming ward politician, and the Republican accuses him of incompetency, and fraud in securing his election. Others of ?'the President's serving-men in the Sen "ate," the Republican sneers at, as Harlan for virtue, Pomeroy and Nye for honesty, Chandler for morality,' ?tc, leaving us very few as worthy of trust or respect The New York Evening Post says the President has degraded the S'eDate to make it the mere creature of his will, and the same sentiment ia echoed by the-Worcester Spy. In short, the break-up of the party is allowing honest ben and others to geu,b^ir drfe. The Conference nt Columbia on the TJp Conntry Troubles. . [From the Columbia Union,] Upon invitation of his. Excellency the Gov? ernor, several of the. prominent citizens pf | the Stale assembled at the capital, on Monday evening, to consult upon the present disturbed conditlorr'of affairs In the upper portion of tho State. Among those present were Colonel Simeon Fair, of Newberry; General McGowan, of Abbeville; Mr. Hemphillv ol Chester; Gen? eral Kershaw, of Camden; General Easley, o? Greenville; Colonel Wallace, Colonel Connor, of Spartanburg; Messrs. Simons, o? the Cour? ier-; Pope, Selbels and Ezell, of Columbia, and several others. The conference was free and pleasant, and tire "present condltldn of affairs was-lreely discussed. The principal object of I the conference was to arrive at- the cause of | the existing troubles, and, if possible, suggest a remedy. We were present, and listened to the conversations- throughout, and confess to being agreeably surprised at the general tone ot the meeting. The principal cause of the trouble, as urged by nearly all af these gentlemen, was the or? ganization and arming of one class or race oL I citizens as against the other. It was argued, witb considerable force, by every gentleman' who-spoke upon the subject, that placing arms tn the hands of-'the colored men gave a feeling of Insecurity to the whites, and caused a fev? erish feeling of alarm to pervade every com? munity. Whether this feeling was well ground? ed or otherwise, made no difference lo the iact that such a feeling'actually, existed, and so long as that feeling existed there was lmml. nent danger of a collision upon the slightest provocation. It was further urged-and not without some show of reason-that the arming of the colocad.militia was regarded by the whites as dangerous to peace and good'order; ind, whereas, before such arming was done, men could go td bed In peace and security, wUbout fear of molestation, "now they were compelled to go armed themselves as a m ea? rn re or self protection. The debate upon this - subject was long and' exhaustive, but the con? fusion reached by ali was, that" the arming. ? ff the eolored militia was at least an unwise neasure. ' 4 Another fruitful source of complaint, and )ne which we haye regarded as lying at the '.ecyjo?t of the whole'matter.'was the profil* rate and irresponsible manner in which the Legislature performed its work during the last j lesslonv 3 It .will bo tecollected that we repeatedly ?varned the Legislature that the people were patching its operations, and that dissatisfied jonstlu.ents would bold derelict members to in account for their stewardship. But one mint in all the argument struck us witji more bree than all others, aud tint was tbat the iresent system was one o? "taxation without ?pr?sentation." This fact cannotbe denied, hat, practically, tbe Legislature is a body that ?pr?sents but a very small portion of the naterlal wealth of the State. : . Many ot the gentlemen admitted that the ier centum of taxation WM not cxhorbltanf, mt the assessments were outrageously dlspro iortionate-and unjust, and timi taxes were, iq nany instances, ten times as high os they night to be. This arises irom the incompeten? cy of the assessors, few of whom actually know* inything about the value of property, and nany more being governed more by personal ?pite than by a desire to do justice. This is nbm loubt true to a great extent. These were the two 'principal points dis? missed, "although others were Incidentally nentioned. We are highly gratified with the nardy and diguified-posilluns taken by General dcGowan and Connel'Fair, and, while we lave no particular j>b*ject]ons to offer to the ?marks of any one of the gentlemen present, ve regard the stand taken by the two gentle Den named as.pre-eminently Just and dlgol led. - ' The meeting had no political significance whatever, for politics were not mentioned, ex :eptincldentallyvdurlng the entire conference. That the meeting will result- in good, there ls ?very.reason to believe, as these gentlemen ian return te their .homes Impressed with the >ellei that the Governor really desires to pro ect the interests of all classes ol citizens, rrespectlve ol party lines. - That there are certain abuses.In the Legis ature which must be corrected, lhere ls no me foolish edough to deny; and, se long as hese abuses exist,* there will always be a 'mi; ful cause for complaint. Most of the gen lemen who took part In the conference re? turned to their homes yesterday. ." -funeral ?V onces.
