COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday J&?rning. August ll, 1870. Tho Situation in Europe-Military? Let uo mah thiuk that the end is yet between Franco and Prussia. It is true that a decided disaster has befallen the arms of France. The eagle's of Prussia are flying on French soil and, when last heard from, the columns of King Wil? liam, flushed with victory at Saarbruekon, and Worth, and Hageneau, were con? verging-to meet at Metz, and again try conclusions with the French. Wo pro sumo that, at Metz, the grnud fight will take place. Here Napoleon hn3 proba? bly concentrated his columns, and here, doubtless, a desperate effort will bc made to retrieve past defeats. We repoat it the end is not yet. Franco is aroused. Soon the French fleet will bo thundering in the Baltic. Napoleon knows und feels that his imperial crown is tho prize at stake-so for as he is concerned. With him it is VICTORY or ABDICATION*. Frnucc deifies success, but spurns defeat. It is known that Napoleon is full of personal courage. He has said that ho returns to Paris victorious or dead! No doubt ho bas made a brave resolve, to do nil that .is possible to win a victory. \SV~e look for a grander conflict than .those which have raged on tho wings. .Results Qf Immigration - Surest i vi Figures. 3Tew persons, we presume, are fully posted as to the figures connected with the matter of IMMIGRATION*. In order for one fully to appreciate the part that European immigration has played in this country's past development, it is necessary to examine the subject anti consider the statistics that have been collected. The unexampled growth of this country is wholly duo to tho flow of European immigration. Like a mighty stream, it has flowed over our Western country, and spread its fertility over hill and dale. Europe, of course, has thus far beeu the sourco of this generous strength. Ou acoount of religion, or political persecutiou, the first settlers ol this country left their European homes. They carno from Great Britain, Holland, Franoe and Sweden. Afterwards, po? verty at home, or the high price ol living, or low wages, became the active influences that promoted immigration, and there came from Ireland and Ger many the sturdy farmer, the industrious mechanic and tho hardy laborer. Ant they came to the United States because they expected to find a goverumunt thal would give them liberty and protection, Hore they oame, because of the assur ance that in America a mau might risc by merit, and enjoy the fruits of houe.si toil. They came for freedom and foi peace. Now, ftr some figures and facts From 1775 to 1815, it appears that thc number of immigrants to this country did not exceed 3,000 auuually. Abou thej-ears 1816 and 1817 the number begat to iucrease, aud Ireland and Germany began to pour their thousands iuto thii country. From ISIS to 1S54, there ar rived from Ireluud 1,512,100 persons Since this decade, about oue-half th< annual average of that period has beei representing Irish immigration. Gar mau immigration lins been vast. Fron 1815 to 185-1, 1,220,302 Germans came t< this land. Since that period the Hov bas been continuous, and iias been ex ceediug tho numbers from Ireland From 1820 to 1870, 7,062,111 imtni grants were received into this country Here lately the aunuul number of immi grunts has been about 300,000. Duriiij the last ten years 2,600,000 have corni into the country-of whom 1,205,00! were from Great Britain and Ireland 1,112,000 from Germany und Prussia 73,000 from Sweden, Norway and Don mnrk, 65,000 from China and the East 50,000 from France, 20,000 from Belgian aud Holland, 23,000 from Switzerland 13,000 from Spaiu aud Portugal, 13,00' from Italy, Sicily and Sardinia, 10,00' from British America, and 16,000 fron other nationalities. As to thc money value ol' immigrants it is estimated that each brings iu casi and personal effects on an average >?15() Thus, in 1SG9, 150,000 German immi grants having reached this country, the; added lo tho national wealth in this rc fipeet alono 822,500,000. As to th effect of immigration on our population the figures aro surprising. From th tables that wc have examined, it appear that had there boen no immigratio sinco 1790, thc population would bav btioa under 10,000,000, whoreas it wi: probably be about 10,000,000! Thes figures suggest several thought?. The show what we shall loso by thc war i the stoppago of immigration. The show au explanation of the politic ideas that have clashed in this laue And they show how important it is fe tho South, by every possible means, t turn in this direction that golden streai that carries wealth, power and empir wherever it empties its strong waters. Tho Franco-PruM?an War, Tho nowa from Europe grows exciting. TholbU'roccee?jDg the sudden burst o? war was? brief;-;and ?ow the blaze ? of battlo begins to light up the positions and manouvres pf those mighty armies that have gathered ' upon the Franeo Frus8ian frontier. The two nationalities moat famous for martial prowess in modern Europe are engaged in a deadly struggle for continental supremacy. Tho energies of 80.000.0CO people aro con? centrated in tho battalions that rush to tho onset. War on such a scale ?3 too exhausting to last long. The field for strategy is narrow. Quiok and decisive work must soon decide whether peace shall bo dictated at Paris or Berlin. Ono day, the capturo of Saarbruck by the Frcnoh is announced, and on thc next, wo hear that tho Prussians have stormed and carried WeitS3nburg. The struggle has begun in earnest, aud the combatants on both sides are famous for sharp, quiok and heavy fighting. Be verses in tho commencement of a war between two great nations, whon only a small portion of their respectivo forces aro engaged, is not to bo regarded as at all significant of the final result. Many battles may yet bo bought, and, glori? ous as the lato successes havo been to tho Prussian arms, it may turn out a profitable sacrifico to Franco in bringing tho onemy to her own soil, when the French will bo fighting not only for the glory of their nation, but for their homes and household gods. Tho result of this war is so uncertain, that it is really uusafo to speculate A triumphant Germany would imply a complete re-ar raugenient of Europe; and unless Napo? leon went in for republican institutious, tho presumption is that it would bo thc ruin of tho Bonaparte dynasty. A triumphant France would check th( progress of German unification for mauj long years. Whichever power sh on li win, let us hope for tho peoples and foi liberty. The following summary of distance! will bo found interesting: From Paris, East, the stations am their distances are: Nancy, 220 miles thence, North, to Metz, 244?4 milos thence, East, to St. Avoid, 275,' ? miles Forbacb, (France,) 287^ miles. Fron Paris, East agaiu, the stations aud dis tances are: Lunoville, 240 miks; Avri court, 255 "miles; Sarrebourg, 2G8?. miles; Saverne, 285 miles; Strasburg (France,) 312J<? miles. From Strasburg aoross tho lthine, to Kepi, tho distanc is 12J.? miles. Metz is a French fortified city, capita of tho Department of tho Moselle, am is situated at the continence of tho river Mosello and Soille, ut tho bead of branch of the main railway line fron Paris to Strasburg, and is 170 mile East of Paris. It is one of the strouges and most important places in Frau cc with a citadel on the right bank of th llosello, au armory usually coutuiniuj 80,000 stand of arms, au arsenal, one o the largest iu Frauce, with a caunoi foundry, and a large military hospital It was a place of great military im pnrtuuco under the Kornaus, and in tit Kith century, while in tho possession c tho Emperor of Germany, was strong! fortified us a barrier against France. 1 passed into tho hands of the French i 1552. Population botweeu 50,000 au CO, OOO. Tho retirement of tho Emperor N? poleon from active service and Genen Lebccuf from command of tho arm promises great things for Frauce. Th Emperor was undoubtedly a marplot au Lubiouf a failure. The accessiou c bazaine and Trochu to tho chief cou mauds may put u new phase on thc wa prospect. In Paris tho war spirit is said to ba* buc-u judiciously stimulated by the Pr< feet of Police spending -100,000 francs i lour days, paying bands of roughs t howl for war through the streets of tl: city. After all, tho much-vaunted nuodli gun ami Chasscpot are not such fearfi bogys. In ouo instance, reported h I telegraph, live hundred French infai j try attacked by six hundred Prussian! j in an engagement which lasted thirl inimit?s, there was a loss of only twclv I ali told. Why thc Coufeds did bctt< j than that with old shot-guns. In Franco 02 out of tho 80 priueip ! sea-ports are'eonuected by railroads wi! Paris, viz: Twenty-one ports ou tl Channel, 25 on tho Atlantic, aud 10 c thu Mediterranean. Out of 101 fortifie places, S.*i uro iu railroad communie tiuu, and of tho 181 military depots, IC are similarly connected. I Article Vi of tho treaty of Prague, no iso frequently referred to, says: "II I Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, iran ; fer? to the King of Prussia all tho righ acquired by Peace of Vienna, Ooloo 30, 1804, over tho Duchies of Holste and Schleswig, with tho reservation th the populations of the Northern distric of Schleswig shall, if they express 1 freo voting, a desire to belong to De mark, be ceded to that State." Cou: Bismarck and M. doBeust have, both d dared that this article was due to tho i turvention of Napoleon III. The Washington Star is facetious ( the war. It thinks tho delay is not sati factory: "Gontlomen-Emperors. King Napoleons, Bismarcks, Grand Armit aud all tho rest of you, proceed with yo show. Collido, oxplodo, slosh about ai bang up things. Produoo your needl guns, your Chassepots and all the rest your infernal enginery. Display yo gore, your orackod nosos and brok? heads. And lot us have peace." I GERMANS AND DUTCHSIEN-THU DD? FERENOE BETWEEN THE Two.-In tho United States, and particularly here at the South, the mistake is very frequent in applying ?he term "Dutch" to people of German nationality. There is a wide difference in tho nationality and lan? guage of tho two nations-almost as great as that between English and French. Since thc inauguration of the present war in Europe, we have frequent? ly heard it called thc "Dutch war," when, in reality, the natives of the Netherlands have no moro to do with it than wo have. We rind in a letter in the New York Times, the following in rela? tion to tho difference between the two nations: Dutchmen are Hollauders, natives of that industrious aud illustrious little na? tion from wheuco carno tho first settlers in this city and State. Holland, or the Netherlands, is a kiugdom, independent from any other power, governed now by William III, of Orauge. Never has Holland been a part of Germany, though iu the sixteenth century the Earl of Holland was also King of Spain and Emperor of Germany, so that Dutch? men could just as well be called Spa niards as Germans. As for the language, though there are a very few words iu the Germau language that oro the same or sound like the samo in Dutch, a German cannot understand the Holland language, neither con a Dutchmau tho German, unless ho has hud tho necessary instruc? tion. -? o ? ? THE NEOUOES IN KENTUCKY. - The Democratic majority iu Kentucky will exceed lift}* thousand. The radicals have not carried a siuglo Conuty in the State. With oil their efforts-with the aid(of the independents-with the acqui? sition of the negro vote-with a perfect organization arrayed against a part}' whose strength has made it weak at least in discipline-they have been able to achieve nothing. They had the eager, undeveloped assurance of a new hope to inspiro them. They had a body of cen? sus-takers in every neighborhood to in? struct them. They eueouutered a divi? ded and uudrilled antagonist. The re? sult is au overwhelming victory for the Democratic party. The radicals will never have a better chance. They have shown themselves just strong enough to consolidate the Democratic elements and to enforce strict Democratic discipline. At a reform meeting, held in Charles? ton, on tho 8th, tho colored reformist, Kev. Jonas Byrd, WP.S called upon, and was received with overwhelming ap? plause: Ho spoke of his travels in thc interior, and said tho cry of tho carpet-baggers was that tho reformers wero trying to carry the colored peoplo back into slavery, a cry which he has always re? linked, knowing its utter falsity. He said that when Governor Scott came to this city he gave iu a return for a bob? tail horse and one old buggy, imd now the accomplished pill-doctor, of Ohio, was worth au independent fortune. Ho referred to the charges preferred by Gen- ! eral Butler against Scott, and said that, so far, they had not beeu satisfactorily refuted. The speaker, who had serious? ly impressed the audience, sat dowu amid great applause. DIFFICULTY BETWEEN Mit. DAWSON, OF TUE "NEWS," AM) MK. Fox, OF THE "llBPCUiiTCAK."-Yesterday morning, Mr. F. W. Dawson, one of the proprie? tors and editors of tho Daily News, re? paired to the office of tho Daily Repub? lican, accompanied by Mr. James A. Lafitte, and asked of Mr. Fox, one of the editors of the latter paper, if he was tho oditor or ono of its editor.". Mr. Fox replied that ho was one of them. Mr. Dawson thou pointed to an article in a copy of the Republican, which he held in his hand, in which there was a very caustic article, reflecting severely on Mr. Dawson's conduct aud course, and inveighing against him in bitter terms. Mr. Dawson then said I have como to chastise you, quickly following the reference to tho article with a blow upon Mr. Fox's face. An encounter then ensued, in which several blows wero passed, and in course ol' which Mr. Dawson broke a small caue, which ho held in his baud, over Mr. Fox. Mr. Dawson was taken into custody, and carried before Trial Justice Mackey, and upon tho affidavit of Mr. Fox, was held to bail to keep the pcaco for a year and a day, and to answer tho charge of assault, at thc November term of the Court. - Char!e*lon Courier. A SFECIMEN.-Some days ago, a negro member of tho Georgia House of Repre? sentatives, named Claiborne, was killed by tho negro Door-keeper, and the usual honors were paid to tim deceased bro? ther. A resolution to pay his per diem to his widow, was referred to tho Fiuauco Committee, who reported Saturday last, begging to bo discharged from its fur? ther consideration, as tho deceased had so many wives and tho applicants were so numerous, that tho subject was ono to bc determined by tho courts. Tni? SOUTHERN NEGROES DYING OFT. The Griffin (Ga.) Star says: Tho colored population all through this Bection oro dying off at an alarming rate; not, how? ever, with any contagion or epidemic, but solely in cousequeuco of voluntary exposure, intemperate hours, consequent sickness, and then, for tho want of the attention they received while they wero slaves, die for want of medicine and pro? per attention. Who is guilty for this sud state of affairs? Aro tho colored people able to answer? Korrntulling. Mn. EDITOR: Speculation and mono? poly in articles of food, and particularly in tho more indispensable materials, should be avoided rind deprecated; nnd with this conviction, I invoke the use of your columns to direct public attention to the little scheme of a few iudividnals, developed in the last Council Proceed? ings It is there statod that "a petition of victuallers in the market was prc soutei1, f> r au enactmcut to prohibit tho retailing of fresh meat outside of the market; and that countrymen bringing such to market be allowed to sell beef by the quarter, and pork, mutton and veal by the whole;" and the petition was re? ferred to the Committee on the Market. The names and number of the victuallers, nor the necessity or propriety of the required enactmeut, are uot specified, but there is no difficulty in determining its object. This is to enable a few per? sons, who have stalls in tbe market, to prevent tho farmer?, and those who raise conutry produce, from selling it to tho citizen, but compel them to sell it to the. aforesaid victuallers, who will thus be enabled to re-sell it to the con.iiiruera at from 75 to 100 per cent, profit. Tims a quarter of mutton or Iamb, which can now be purchased at from tea to twelve cents per pound from tho countryman's wagon, will cost from twenty to twouty five cents per pound, wheu bought from the victualler's stall, if thc enactmeut asked for should bo passed. The injus? tice and impolicy of thus increasing the price of thc food of thc poor, aud the expenses of living, must bo apparent to all, and we trust that the Committee ou the Market will determine that it was erected for the benefit of the many and not of the few.

POSTPONEMENT OF THU EVANGELICAL CONFERENCE.-The European delegates to the General Conference of tho Evan? gelical Alliance, to bo held in New York in September, being prevented by the war from coming over, the Conference has beeu postpoued for the present year. This notico is issued nuder the authority of the Executive Committee, and is signed by Wm. E. Dodge, President, and S. J. Prime and P. Schall", Corres? ponding Secretaries. It is estimated that the Dickens.-Boltoa imbroglio, at Memphis, has cost Shelby County from three-fourths of a million to a million dollars, in time lost by jury? men, witnesses, courts, aud lawyers, iu fruitless efforts to adjust differences and suits pending between the parties to multiplied controversies. How many people havo been murdered, and how many murders have been attempted, as the result! of this feud, it is impossible to say. A very sad accident occurred near McCowau's Mill, iu Mooroo Couuty, Georgia, last Monday. An old lady, Mrs. Cochran, was beiug moved to her son's house. lu goiug down a very steep hill, the cart ran into a rut in thc road, and threw her out-a part ol' her clothing catching over thc standard, holding her immediately under the wheel, which ran over and killed ber. On Sunday last, a young mau mimed Black, residing at Gallatin, Mo., Lad made his arrangements to go out hunt? ing; and, taking his gun down, was handling it, when his foot, in some way, pulled back tho lock nnd the weapon was discharged. Tho load went directly into the unfortunate man's mouth, pa.-siug out at the back of his head, producing instant death. A B?llalo despatch says that Thome, alias Comstock, who has been in train iug tor a leap from tho suspension bridge into the Niagara Uiver, was seriously in? jured, yesterday, by jumping from the i top of au elevator into B?llalo Creek, a distance of B35 feet.
