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.

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

to his widow, was referred to tho Fiuauco

begging to bo discharged from its fur?

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. JUSTICE.
