COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday horning, August 19,1870. Progresa ot Ibo PrnMlnn Arms. With a resistless force as silent and as crashing as the oouse of destiny, Prussia continues her march to Paris. The New York Twines asserts that tho "best possi? ble position on tho Moselle" has been as completely driven iu as the frontier line between Saarbruck aud Woissenburg, and the invader is another stage nearer to the capital of France. The news of tho evacuation of Metz may be prema? ture, but cut off as it now is from all communication with Paris, and left, as it must necessarily bo, to tho defence of a garrison inadequate to its vast require? ments, its capitulation can only bc a question of time, and its importance as a bulwark against tho conquerors is thoroughly neutralized. About tho evaouation of Nancy, thero can bo no question, and it is quito clear that the 300;000 men lately stationed on the Mo? selle have effected a retreat to the line of thc Meuse,, or twenty miles further back. The slownoss with which news travels iu the present struggle is beyond all prece? dent. Nancy was entered on Friday, and we were not in possession of the fact until an interval of two days. The battles of T7oerth and Saarbruck wero fought ten days ago, and we arc only now bqginniug to appreciate their magni? tude, in. view of their results. First, the possession of Alsace was yielded up without further struggle; then the passes of the Vosges wore tardily admitted to bo the property Qb the enemy, and now the ancient province of Lorraine, thc duchy pf Lothaire, is all but overrun by the Prussian troops. That all this has boen abandoned while two-thirds of the French army have not yet faced the enemy, speaks volumes for Prussian strategy and prowess, as well os for their overwhelming numerical strength. Previo as reverses have made Paris calmer but not less defiant. It remains to be seen whether the latest and most fatal yet of all the evidences of weakness which France has displayed in the course of the struggle, will leave her confidence unshaken. There is a feverish and des? perate energy in the. statemout, "the hour approaches when tho enemy will be chased from the laud," that in spite of its incongruity with existing circum? stances, lends it a sort of tragic pathos. Thore aro still three lines of defence to be passed before reaching tho gates of Paris, but who can toll whether the Emperor will be prepared to make a stand either in the valley of tho Meuse, on the wood-studded plateau of the Argounes, or amid the plains of ceutral Fruuco, watered by tho Aisne, the Marue aud the Seiue. At ouo or other of these poiuts a stand must be made; but the conviction that another battle must equally decide a contest, which, so furas its original purpose is ? concerned, is already practically ended, will render the French commanders doubly cautious in their selection both of time and place. Their most highly trained troops have been proved incapable of standing be? fore thc weight of the Prussian onset; they may, therefore, reasonably hesitate beforo bringing into action an army reinforced by raw levies from Paris, aud untried soldiers from Chalons. To en? gage the Prussians by sections becomes daily moro impossible. Their contracted wedge-like front is now confined within a spaco of about twenty miles, aud their three great divisions ovideutly advance with a perfect unity of plan and direc? tion. The capture of Strasburg, which appears imminent, has assumed the character of a mere episode of the cam? paign, just as that of Meta may do, uow that it is complete^' isolated from its base of supplies. The demonstration of the fleet in the Baltic comes all too late to turn the desperate fortunes of the Em? pire. The French Government is justified iu the boast that the internal dissensions on which the Prussians may have reck? oned do not exist. But while meu of all shades of politics vio with each other in making sacrifices, unparalleled iu recent European history, for tho preservation of their common country, there is au omiuous under-tone of dissatisfaction that bodes ill for the futuro of the dy? nasty. When tho war was declared, the spectators in tho gallery of tho Chamber of Deputies uuited in tho spontaneous outburst of cuthusiasm which greeted the announcement of tho Emperor's de? termination to fight. The applause is uow reserved for thoso who counsel stead? fast resistance to tho advancing foe, but who alio propose to erect another su? preme power us a counterpoise to, aud a possible judgo of, the Emperor. When that deep d?termination which now ex? ists to repair recent defeats finds an op? portunity to transfer itself to thoso who will be accused of causing them, there will be an account demanded of the ruler of France, which may not be as bloody as that demanded of Louis XVI, but will certainly be as steru aud as dif? ficult to Batisfy. i.. ? ????-? MOST INFAMOUS AND LAWLESS CON? DUCT.-Tho Edgefield Advertise}- com? plains bitterly of tho unlawful action of the so-called colored soldiers stationed in that town, and says: Tho dastardly habit these black mili? tiamen indulge themselves iu, of darting out in full forco upon white meu, pell mell aud with guns, raging, fierce, pro? fane, blaspheming, insulting, blood? thirsty, mmst be put a stop to. If tho au? thorities who are hero to command them canuot do so moro effectually, then the white citizons of this community must prepare for their defence. These militia? men wait not to bo callod upon; they seem to bo amenable to no orders. They have not the remotest idea of tho con? duct and duties of a soldier. And yet they aro soldiers, ond wo are paying thom for soldiering it over us. Each ono of them makes auy little quibble that may come uuder the notice of the town marshal, his own private and per? sonal affair.. If tho marshal is resisted or cursed, each one teems to fancy him? self personally insulted. Tho offending white man is seized, dragged, pushed, kicked into the jail, by a crowd of fierce, tumultuous, unrestrained negroes. Each one raves aud rants on bis own responsi? bility. Eo.oh ono brandishes a weapon of some sort. Each one rends the air with unheard-of blasphemy. Eaoh and all of tho friends of the offending white man are gratuitously dared to como for? ward and be shot like dogs. Why are these negroes not bettor in? structed ia their duty as soldiers? Why is it not impressed upon their minds that they should do their duty, aud no more. I)o their duty, acting under or? ders, with their mouths shut, and with? out making the affair iu baud a personal matter. But in tho end, let us also exhort our people to ?dreme prudence, caution and patience. Nay oven to long-suffering and endurance. Lot all citizens from the country bowaro of spending the night in towu, without it be in a private house; and let even tho youngest, boldest and rashest make prudence his motto. The interest of our country demands this of ,us. The Radical party, just uow, would rejoice in nothing more thau iu n diffi? culty between tho whites and blacks of Edgefield. But be ready, and if these black, so called soldiers, do bring on a fray, as it would seem they are determined to do, lei (hem not ?MISS through (he ordeal lightly.! NANCY.-Tho city of Nancy, occupied by tho Prussians on Friday, aud about which so much has been said in our foreigu despatches, is located on a branch of tho Meurthe River, and is one of the linost and best built places iu France. Tho railroad running from Strasburg to Paris passes through tho place, and the Prussians iu occupying it sever nil rail communient iou between Metz aud Paris, except by the roundabout way of tho Belgium border.- Nancy was takeu in 1475 by Charles tho Bold, who was killed before its walls. lu 1G34 it was agaiu takeu by Louis XIII. Its citadel is still preserved, but its fortifications were razed by Louis XIV. Its popula? tion ranges between 40,000 and 50,000. A private letter from Berliu gives au amusing account of tho helter-skelter man ncr iu which the tourists tried to getaway from tho wateriug-places, aud of their bewilderment wheu they fonud that the railways were mouopolized by tho Government. People stood all day long and waited, trytug for tickets, standing from morning till evening without being able even to reach tho ticket-offices for tho rush. In ono place 400 trunks wore left, with all the brilliant summer toilets, and silks, aud laces, aud jewels. Imagine tho dismay of the fair owucrs of all these brilliant toilcst at being obliged to abandon them. REFORM IS NOT TREASON.-We under? stand that tho Uniou Leagues have pro? nounced it treason for auy of their mem? bers to support tho candidates of the Uniou Reform. This wo coutider all nonsense; for tho friends of reform have never scrupled to nominate Republicans whom they considered honest. Now, if the League objects to honost Republi? cans for office, the inevitable inference must bo that they waut dishonest Repub? licans. Union Leaguers aro therefore placed iu this dilemma: They must either oppose honesty iu o?lico pr acknowledge that League-membership-uot honesty I is tho propor qualification of oflice I holders. Which boru of the dilemma will they choose?-Yorkvitte Enquirer. THE Mon. >r.rry OF THE CITY.-Tho mortality statistics of the past week are uot vei'3* encouraging. Owing, no doubt, to the intenso heat, and its deadly effect upon children especially, there wns au increase of deaths in tho city over tho victims of the preceding week. Thc total number o? deaths up to Saturday \va:> 710. lu tho sumo period there were only 28C births-not much moro than I one-third tho uuuiber of persons boru to thoso who died. This seems to bo u slow increase compared with tho decay, and suggests thc question, ?what should we do for population if it were not for im? migration?-Sew York Herald. A California editor has been interview* ing a cinnamon bear. Ho describes the conduct of the interviewed as touching iu tho extreme, so much so that bowns constrained to leavo with him soverul locks of hair, his overcoat, and a portion of his right baud, as keepsakes, iu memo? ry of tho occasion. How thc watering-place bellos conquer? They trust in rouge, and keep their pow - der dry. Proceedings of Council. CoUNCIJj CHAMBER, COLUMMA, S. C., August 16, 1B70. Council met at 5 p. m.
