COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, August 6,1870. Tho to wu of Saarbr?cken, rf hieb WOB taken on Tuesday by the Fronoh, after an engagement, a? is reported, of two hours' duration, is situated on tho Saar Biver, forty miles South-South-east of Tr?ves, ton miles South of Suarlouis, and about forty miles East of Metz. Tho town takes its name from tho Saar Biver and "brueoken," the German word for "bridges." It is often given in tho sinu Iar, Saorbraok, or Saarbridge, from tho stone bridge over the river, connecting the town with its suburb St. Johann. It has a population of between eight and ten thousand, was founded in the tenth oentury, and has passed through many vicissitudes incident to war. It is dis? tinct from Saarburg, which is thirty miles North-North-east of Saarbr?cken. Saarlouis, tho soeno of the fight referred to in this morning's despatches, is an? other town of Rhenish-Prussia, somo ton miles North-east of Saarbrucken. The Prussian line in the.Saar Valley ran pa? rallel to the French boundary, and in oluded Saarlouis, Merzig, Soarburg and Saarbr?cken, and apparently tho Prus? sian objective point was Metz. But iu ?proportion of the French, who at first . contented themselves with massing at their two great centres- Metz and Stras ?bourg, showed ? disposition to advance, '?the Prussians manifested symptoms of retiring upon tho great natural boundary of the Rhine, backed by the fortresses of Coblentz, Mayence and Mannheim. Ac? cording to correspondence of American newspapers, the importance of tho cap? ture of Saarbr?cken will greatly depend upon the stand which Prussia proposes to make on this side of thc Rhine. With Metz as a baso of operations, tho French have now extended their front to a posi? tion which commands thc upper ex? tremity of the Valley of the Saar, and renders the entire command of eis-Rben ish-Prussia dependent upon thc posses? sion of Tr?ves and Saarlouis. The latter fortress is about seven miles lower down the valley of tho Saar, while Tr?ves is at a distance of forty miles, whero that stream joius tho Moselle. Thus tho frontier haB been crossed, and thc first successes of the campaign have boen achieved by French arms on- German soil. The variety of accounts of the engage? ments are grimly amusing. Official re? ports from Berlin and Paris disparaging and applauding the battles. Tho dis? tressing feature of the Saarbr?cken affair, was tho burning of half thc town by thc French artillery. Thc deadly mitrailleuse, a now weapon for wholesale slaughter, w.as used for the first time iu the engagement, and, it is said, with de? moralizing effect. The following gi-aius of information are given in tho despatches: Prussia bas summoned a levy cn masse for coast de? fence; King William has issued his proclamation at. Mayence, assuming tho commauderijhip-iu-chief of tho armies. Negotiations are poudiug to keep the ports of Hamburg and Bremen open during the war, and the United States as well as Great Britain is said to be an activo promoter of this object. An official journal in Pari3 avows that the war is not against Germany, nor against King William, but against Bis? marck. On tho other haud.-it is said in England, that in 186G Bismarck wished to cedo the region about tho river Suar to France, but King William and his council refused. All the correspond? ents, it is said, havo boen finally expelled from both lines, which they richly do sorve in view of tho miserable and con? tradictory despatches they scud from day to day. ?-???. .-?

Appoiutmeut for Gudsdon recalled for the present. - A destructivo fire occured in Augusta, Ga., on tho night of the 3d, by which Mr. Goodrich, proprietor of a car aud sash manufactory, lost a vast amount of lumber and Boveral small buildiugs. The Bishop of Armagh, Ireland, died while returning from Rome. A ?DII Story of tito Sea. The followiug oatlino of the sad story of a citizen of New Jersey appears much liko tho romantic tales found in our sen? sation weeklies; but the narrative is nevertheless true, as tho distr&sed fami? ly of the-ndveuturor, who still reside iu Jersey City, can testify: Twenty years ago, a gentleman in mo? derate circumstances, living in Jersey City, determined to try his luckin China. Accordingly, he invested most of his capital in goods .suited for that market und embarked on board a ship bound for Hong Kong, ria Liverpool. > His family, consisting of his wife and seven children, were left with sufficient means for their maintenance until his return, which was expected to be within four yeors. The ship'on board which our Jerseyman was a passenger, had a fine run to Liverpool, where sho completed her lading, and then started on a long voyage to China. Onco only, did the family of '.?e Jersoy man hear from him after leaving liver? pool, and that was by a letter received by a ship which spoke tho Jersey man's craft, after rounding thc Capo of Good Hope. Months passed by and no fur? ther nows of tho ship. She never ar? rived at Hong Kong, nud nearly a year after her departure from Liverpool, her captain returned to that port with the sad tide of her foundering in mid-ocean, and his own escape, with most of his Crow and passengers, from a fearful death.' The Jorsoymau was' not among the saved. A dreadful storm, -which continued many days; drove the ship far out of her course to the Bouthward, and finally, after losing all her spars, she went down, giving her crew barely time to.lower tho beats before the uoblo vessel made her final plunge. Tho boats, con? taining tho captain and must of his crew, after tossing upon tho sea 'for several days, finally reached a group of islands, whore they remained six or seven months, kindly treated by tho natives, until taken off by a transient trader and carried to Calcutta, whore they secured a passngo to this city. But the boat in which wero tho Jerseyman and five seamen, was never heard of since tho first night after leaving tho wreck. Twenty years of sorrow, struggle and Privation for tho Jersey family pass, 'he noble-hearted widow and mother fought against tho ills of poverty, keep? ing her children under her owu roof tree, educating and fitting thom well to fight tho battle of life, and had the hap? piness of seeing them become bravo men and good citizens, honorable among tho most houorcd. Daring all those long years of sorrow and toil, she cluug to the hope that the husband of her youth would return to her; bis mo mory was kept fresh in her heurt, and almost her ouly solace was tho recollec? tion of the happy hours passed with him iu their cottage homo, ond tho be? lief that onco more sho would be folded to his heart. Tweuty years rolled slowly around; children Locarno men nud women; and strange young faces were seen around the hcarth-stoue. The suf? fering wife's hair was turning whito, and her trusting heart was well nigh broken from its loug waiting, wheu, six weeks ago, came a letter from thc wan? derer, reciting his sad history. The secoud morning after thc wreck, nothing was to bo seen of the other boats. With but a small stock of provisions, the Jer sej'uian and his live companions, hoping against hope, determined to shape their course South of East, trusting to make ouo of the many groups of lands known to lie iu that direction. After ten days toil, during which two of the seamen died from privations, the party reached a small islaud, when they wero imme? diately seized by the natives and con? demned to a life of slavery. Their captors were cannibals, and long sought to iuduco the whito men to join them in their horrible orgies; but buding both threats and eutreatics unavailing, they finally desisted, and allowed their white slaves to oat such food as they them? selves chose. One after another of his white compauions died, until thc Jersey mau was left ulouo to his lifo of servi? tude among the savages, nud so closely was ho watched, that although many ships touched at tho island, be was unable to communicate with them. At length, n schooner from Australia dropped anchor during anight in March last, in a covo near tho hut occupied by the Jerseymar. and being tho first to discover ber, ho seized a cauoo and paddled off to her, before any of the natives were astir. So long had be been nmong tho savnges, that he had lost nearly every recollection of his origin, find had forgotten his nativo language. After gainiug tho deck of tho schooner, ho was for some timo unoblo to articu? late a word, nud only ofter a copious flood of tears had relievod him, waa the strong man ablo to utter tho simple word "homo, ' Finally, after many sflbrts, ho made tho captain understand bis story, which so affected the noble licartcd sailor, that he at onco weighed inchor and sailed for Melbourne, where lio arrived after a short passage. Hore tho Jerseyman was kindly cared for by tho authorities, but being too unwell to take passage by tho first steamer to Flonoliilu and San Francisco, he sent the letter containing tho joyful tidings of bia safety. Last week, a letter, iu a mourn ng euvclopo, from Melbourne, was ro joived by tho Jcrseyman's family. It ?.as a city official, and contained tho sad tidiugs of thc wanderer's death. After tweuty years of hardship and slavory, just as ho was to embark for his long ?oveted home, ho was called to take a longer, moro dreaded journey, and in that far-off land, aud nuiong strangers, but among Christians, his spirit took its dight.-New York Herald. It ia moro thou likely, wo regret to sec, that Congress will bo onco more postored by Whittemore, of cadetship notoriety.

THE SITUATION IN EUHOPB.-It becomes clearer with every fresh indication of public opinion among Germans, both at home and abroad, that toe hostility of France to Prussia can scarcely foil to ac? complish what it -was especially designed to prevent-the closer tinion of the vari? ous sections of Germany. In fixing the quarrel upon Prussia, the French Go? vernment have only mode that power more emphatically than ever the guaran? tee of German anion, prosperity and in? dependence, and in prefacing it with what has been interpreted as a studious insult to King William, they have caused tho absolutist character of that monarch to be temporarily forgotten in his posi? tion as head and representative of the nation. Hence, the ebullition from the Inn to tho Elbe of a fervid and deep seated enthusiasm, in which the hostili? ties of 18GG, and the party struggles that followed them, aro lost sight of. Thorn is now ono universal desire to vindicate tho common honor of a people iu whom scctioual divisions cannot extinguish the idea of kindred, and in whom fears of Prussia are extinguished by their confi? dence iu her ability to faco what they accept as a common danger. Wo give elsewhere tho full text of the King of Prussia's late speech at tho oponiug of tho Parliament of tho Confederation. It is au oration well calculated to mako an impression on the earnest and intelligent nation to whoso representatives it was addressed. There is a notable absence of exaggerated confidence about its an? ticipations, and it exhibits au obvions desire to impress the full magnitude of the struggle then oponiug ou the minds of the people. The snmo desire is still moro clearly expressed in the speech re? ported to have been delivered by tho King to tho Town Councillors of Be.rliu. Such phrases as "heavy srerifiecs will be demanded by my people," "wc shall not get off so cheaply this time," show a characteristic avoidance of braggadocio, and a quiet intensity of purpose which, to say the least of it, form a decorous in? troduction to a struggle so momentous. lu proportion as tho Gormans become more closely united in the common cause, tho Latin races appear to be developing tho natural sympathy which springs both from their origiu aud territorial position. lu 8pitoof tho peculiar relatiou sustained by Spain with reference to the contend? ing powers, it is obvious that Frauco is sparing no effort to detach her from Prussia, and to conciliate tho popu? lar fooliug which late reflections on the Cortes had disturbed. Ou the other hand, tho rapid termination of the deli? cate uegotiations touching the ?vacua? tion of Rome, and tho startling prompti? tude with which France has fulfilled her part of the bargain, makes it obvious that all minor interests aud traditions aro eclipsed by the present struggle, and that tho empire is equally desirous of moral support as of an activo alliance. What obligations the Italian Government have incurred does not as yet clearly ap? pear. It is probable that their stipula? tion ns to the peace of Rome, together with the independence of the Holy See, will bo found somewhat difficult to exe? cute. The Italian Kingdom is itself the creation of popular seutimcut, aud the absolute possession of tli3 capital is too deeply seated a passion of the uational miud to render its repression by nuy means easy, oven should it bo considered desirable.-JVeic 1 vrfc Times. McRDElt IN ST. JAMES GOOSE CKEEK. Piuckuey Grooms, a 3'oung man in the primo of life, was killed at his house iu St. James Goose Creek, ou the 2Gth ult., by Hugh W. Winter. It appears from tho testimony taken ut tho inquest, that Pringle Winter, a brother of Hugh W. Winter, came to Grooms' house on the moruiug of tho 2?th of July, and raised a quarrel with Grooms, aud cursed him, aud thou went away, but returned again after beiug absent a few hours, in com? pany with Hugh W. Winter; aud the quarrel was reuowed. Grooms ordered them to leavo his premises, but they re? fused to go; and while Pringle Wintor engaged Grooms' attention in front, Hugh W. Winter came up in the rear and struck Grooms a severo blow ou the right templo with a hoe, after which, he lived only a few hours.

ITEMS BY THE CENSUS TAKER.-We aro indebted to Mr. E. W. Moore, one of the Assistant Marshals for taking the census of our District, for the following itemB, gathered from the record of opera? tions on tho Savannah side: k;. John Cresswell and wife, aged 83 and 75 yearr, respeo'ively, nativos of the Dit> ?riot, and residents of that section below here, known as "Ireland," hove scarcely ever boen beyond sight of the smoko of their own chimneys, and straugo to say have never seen a railroad car. They still indulge, tho hopo of beiug gratified before they die. Delia Bosedell, a native of Virginia, born in 17G9, (that year which witnessed the birth alike of Napoleon and Welling? ton,) and boneo 101 years of ago, is a very activo old lady, living in the South? west section of tho District-aldo still to take a good deal out-door exercise. Mary Hawkins, colored, living on tho Patterson place, has attained tho goodly age of 105 years. A colored girl liviug at Mr. E. Soarles* place, is 19 years of age, and has attain? ed the astonishing height of 2J? feet. Had she been fair, and General Tom Thumb, a widower, wo should have sug? gested a matrimonial alliance.

To all health is essential for lifu's enjoyment and pursuits, to the young and old, to the rich amt poor. Are you in search ol' wealth? Health is necose?ry. Do you desire oflioo and worldly honors';" Of what avail would these bo without health?
