(T) HIM: BI A, s. c. Tuesday ttorning-, August 23,1870. The European Wut. The following brief summary of mut? ters nod things hos been collated from various sources. It will repay perusal: A despatch from Loudon confirms the rumor that the Empress Eugenie has re? ceived permission to pasa through Bel? gium if the exigencies of Frenoh politics should require her to flee from Paris, while Btatemonts have appeared iu vari? ous quarters, nllegiug that the Emperor hos made investments in this and other countries, which will secure him a large income if he is driven from the throne. These stories, if not all absolutely true, have probably a substantial foundation. No ruler of Franco has died peaceably in possession of power for nearly a cen? tury, and dethronement has beeomo so habitual that Napoleon will bo wonder? fully fortunate if he escapes it. For reasons less powerful than thoso which his enemies are now pressing upon pub? lic attention, his predecessors have been driven from their palaces; and if ho has not been totally bereft of prudence, he has mudo preparations for a similor ter? mination of his owu political career. .THE POSITIONS.-Rheims, to which point the Emperor is admitted' to have retreated, is twenty-five miles North? west otObalons, ana nearly ninety miles in the same direction from Metz. It is ninety miles from Paris, but haB no rail? road connection with it except by thc cirouitou8 route via Compeigue. From RheimB, it is, however a short run by way of the railroads to any of the sea? ports on the Northern coast of France. Mars la Tour, where the battle is said to have been fought on Tuesday, is ter miles directly West of Metz. Verdun, which the Paris despatche; say the French army has retreated to, i: thirty miles North-west of Metz, ou th( direct road to Chalons. EiTOBTS IN BEHAIA* OF PEACE.-A spO cial despatch from Berlin states that au other attempt has been made for peaci between France and Prussia. The Queen'; messenger arrived at Berlin yesterday with proposals for peace from tho Eng li8h Cabinet. Tho Emperor of tb French expressed his readiness to tren for peace, and proposals aro made througl Lord Lyons. The King of Prussia am Count von Bismarck have been tele graphed to at headquarters. The Kin) replied that if Napoleon wished fo peace, ho must ask fur au armistice ii the usual way. The issue must be dc cided either by arbitrament or war. TEEMS UPON WHICH PEACE Wron Bi GRANTED.-The Now York Herald ha received the following special despatch dated London, August 19: T?l?graphia despatches direct from th special correspondent, at Carlsrue, rc ceived in this city to-day at 12 o'clock give the conditions upon which Kin William will grant peace: 1st. That King William, of Prussii must be declared Emperor of Gcrmau] 2d. That the Proviuco of Alsace, ti gether with the city of Strasburg, 1J annexed to the Graud Duchy of Badoi 3d. Bavaria must receive full moue consideration for her services, aud shu be reimbursed nil her expenses incurre iu prosecuting tho war against Frauco. 4th. Napoleon to bo deposed from th French throue, aud the Orleans famil reiustated thereon. Theso conditions aro universally favoi ed in Euglaud aud Germany. NEGOTIATIONS rou PEACE.-The Ge mau soldiers have doue their work s rapidly that tho diplomatists of Euror seem to bo preparing the labors whic will devolve upon them as soon ns it bi comes possible to seriously discuss pea? propositions. England, Austria at Russia have a commou interest in pr venting a protracted war. Indepeudei of the industrial prostration and final cial d?rangements it would occasioi they look with disfavor alike upon t enormous increase of Prussian power at the outbreak of a desperate and nggre sive revolutionary feoliug in France, at they will naturally desiro to avert hoi these dangers. The period has nrrivt when the first Napoleon predicted tin Europe would become either all Cossut or all Republican. Of tho asceudau< of Russia there is no immediate fear, ai if the continent is to bo shaken to i centre by a revolutionary ngitatioi France must take tho lead. Ia Italy ai Spain, there aro many elements favor hie to such a movement, aud in Germ ny they are held in abeyauce, by tl force of tho prevailing demand for unit rather thau extinguished. But infuriate and desperate Frenchmen can do mo to sot thrones trembling than the agit tors of any other country. If they beg by deposiug their Emperor, follow i this demonstration by waging war their old fashion against the present i vadera, and proclaim with sincerity th tho Fronch bauner shall again beeon the flag of freedom, they may iiud n only Spaiu and Italy, but portions Germany ready to unite iu a now crusa against mouarchj'. Remote ns this da ger may appear, European diplomata will gladly avert it by hastening the fi mation of a speedy peace; aud Prusi will probably assent to moderate teri rather thau incur the risks of tho tor ble retaliations which followed her i vasion of Franco during tho last ceul ry. -Pit iladelph ia Enquirer, PERTURBATIONS or PAULS.-While t Parisians aro hungering for official M news, aud while they aro purposely kc iu ignorance of the real position affairs at tho frout, they eau not bo bli to tho siguifiennco of events occuri under their own eyes, or in their o' city. Cable telegrams toll us that < Minister Ollivicr and wife havo fled fr< Paris to Italy; that tho Prefect of t Seine urges tho destruction of railwi aud bridges; Unit by to-morrow l,t guns will be mounted ou tho fortifi tious of Paris, and that nrrangemei are being mad? to fully provision t capital so that it eau ata?d a siege. No effort to maintain public confidence by manipulated despato bea can be success rul while snob signs of French disasters and of impending dangers excito and alarm an imperiled and Indignant popu? lace. The more fact that Paris is sufficiently endangered to justify tho extraordinary preparations made for its defence speaks volumes to a nation which knows that its citadel can only bo jeopardized when everything, save honor, is lost. The uneasiness caused by theso preparatious will bo intensified with each Prussiau advance, and whon the story of French humiliation becomes known, and when it becomes even moro unpalatable aud moro thrcatcuing than it is now, it will be strange, indeed, if thero is not a terrific outburst of tho wrath of an in? dignant people. Olli vier can congratu? late himself upon tho success of his effort to avert tho dangers which threaten all obnoxious lenders, but other objects of popular hatred may uot bo equally fortunato. THE FitENcn EAGLES.-According to a German paper, tho French troops carry but ouo eaglo in each regiment. It is stated that in September last tho French Ministor of War issued a regulation di? recting tho standards of tho second, third nud fourth battalions of the regiments to be plain, bearing neither the national colors nor tho number of the regiment, nor any inscription whatever. Tho ob? ject of this regulation ?B to prevent tho flags, iu case of capture, from being used as trophies. Ou tho other hand, it is as? serted that in the German regiments every battalion carries such a standard as can bo of uso as a sign ia tho field. THE MISCHIEF-MAKEH.-It ?B edifyiug to seo how entirely Spain has sunk out of sight sinco she suooeoded iu getting Franco oud Prussia by their curs. If auythiug could add to tho disgust which tho present war must create, it is that a power so impotent that she has scarcely been ablo in two years, evon by tho aid of uuheard-of cruelties, to suppress a small insurrection in Cuba, aud so imbe? cile that she cannot prevail upon any one to accept her crown, has succeeded in playing tho part of a malicious monkey | iu a powder magazine, and dropped a coal iuto tho combustibles of Europe, which has sot tho contineut iu ablaze. A LONG OK SHOOT WAU?-It is believed that Prussia, owing to tho complete dis? organization of all the habitual condi? tions of lifo which follows a universal arming of the nation, must suffer moro from a long war than France. From this fact, aud tho great enorgj* of the military operations, it is believed to bo tho policy of Bismarck to make tho war "short, sharp and decisive," meaning thereby uot four years, nor eveu four months, but, judgiug from tho Austrian prece? dent, less thau four weeks. The present war, howover, is likely to be yet n little longer. lt will help tho reader to understand military operatious in Frauce, to remem? ber that tho Prussiau forces consist of au army of tho North, under Geu. Stein? metz, comprising tho seventh, eighth, ninth aud tenth corps; au army of the Ceutre, uuder Triuce Frederick Charles, comprising the secoud, third, fourth and twelfth corps, aud au army of the South, nuder the Crown Priuco Frederick Wil? liam, comprisiug tho fifth corps, the guards and tho South Germans. PLENTY OF Wo?tK*IN PAMS.-There is ?1 smaller uuruber of idlers and loafers in Paris at tho present crisis thau thero has been since 1?15. All tho stragglers are beiug looked after and put to work on tho fortifications. Tho gay Parisians have been asking for some such sensa? tion for a long time, aud now they have it, aud they ought to be happy. A piece entitled "Marching ou Paris" is now performed at a leading theatre in Berlin. Tho first act represents "Peace and quiet;" the second "Tho people rise and the struggle begins;" tho third "Thc passage of tue Rhine," aud tho fourth "Ou to Paris," with songs and ballet dancing. CAUGHT AGAIN.-The Riug Orgau printed a letter from an Abbeville cor? respondent, giving au account of au al? leged murder in tho vicinity of Lowndes ville, by ono Aleck Pressly, white, upon a colored mau, and winding up with a brayer for tho return of tho constabulary. This lust gives point to the letter. It is u falsehood (so wo learn from tho Abbe? ville Press) from begiuniug to eud. Tho parties live in Audorsou District, and so far from uuybody being killed, it seems that tho colored man received only u couple of small shot at long rauge. This, too, after beiug repeatedly ordered out of tho yard of Pressly before tho guu was used. FATAL ACCIDENT.-Ou Wednesday uight, tho passenger train on the Mem? phis and Charleston Railroad ran over two boys, cutting ono all to pieces, kill? ing him instantly, and crushing the other's leg and mangling him so badly, that it. is thought ho will die. The boj's were sitting ou Ute track asleep, as is thought, and hence were unaware of the approach of tho traiu, Tho accident created great excitement umoug the passengers. The name of tho one dread? fully mangled, but still living, is Ila tn mond; the other's uamo we could not i learn.-Rome Commercial. COLLISION ON THE AMAZON RIVER-1G0 LIVES LOST.-By tho arri viii of the schooner Tam pico, Captain Lombard, from Para, wo learn that a collision occurred about July 25, ou tho Amazon River, Brazil, between two steamers. One sunk within half an hour with '.'00 passengers on board and ICO wcro lost. She had a cargo on board valued at $150,000, without insurance on vessel or cargo. Tho nccidont occurred at tho i mouth of tho Madaria, ouo of tho tribu? taries of tho Amazon. [New York Herald, 18/7/ inst. Hon. Joshua F.

It was found wrapt in a blanket, and under tho iuflueuco of paregoric.

WAU MAPS.-Thc breaking out of the war betweeu France uud Prussia hap? pened but a few weeks ago, yet already tho market has been flooded with maps claiming to give all the stratcgetical points necessary to a full understanding of the situation. All thu great Northern dailies have largo maps inserted iu their pages, aud it seems as if there ought uot to be any further trouble in finding the positions of tho opposing armies. Wo have received from Mr. E. Lloyd, tho American map publisher, of 30 Cortlundt street, New York, a largo nud very com? pleto "War Map of Europe." From England to Egypt, and from tho Mediter? ranean to tho Baltic Sea, can bc seen aud comprehended at almost a glance, livery poiut of iutercst is distinctly marked, and no difficulty is experienced iu trac? ing the retreating aud udvaueiug lines. These maps are useful to those who de? sire to watch eveuts as they transpire during the war, and we would advise all who are fortunate to become possessed of one to take care of it. The price is 50 couts plain; 31.25 mouutcd und var? nished. PnONixiANA.-Wo have beeu request? ed by tho Suporintcndeut of Water Works, Mr. S. W. Hook, to say that the water will bo shut o?* from Richardson and Taylor streets, this nioruiug, from 9 o'clock to 12. The firemen complain that they arc crowded aud prevented from working as effectually us they might, if they had a little moro elbow-room. The yelling and whooping of idlers and loafers at thc fire ou Saturday night, was abso? lutely disgraceful, nud calls loudly for interference ou the part of thc police. The latter, too, should be out in force, to prevent a repetition of hose-cutting, about which several compauies complain, The hose, at best, is in very bad coudi tiou, aud tho attention ol' our city fathers is called to it. The Scotch pronunciation of summer is not far out of the way this season simmer. George Huggins, Esq.-agcut of seve? ral first class insurauce compauies-has furnished us with a map of the seat of war, issued by tho "Phenix Fire," of Brooklyn. There arc two reasons why souio peo? ple don't mind their business. One ie, that they haven't any business; and tho second is, that they would have uo mind to bring to it if they had. This kind of humanity is as common as three meals u day. On tho 19th, there was shipped per express from Ridge Spring, on the Char? lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, ouo bale of new cotton, only eight days behind Alabama's first shipment. This bolo was raised by a Mr. T. S. Williams, a youug man about eighteen years old. Thc Post Band has returned to Colum? bia, and tho coucerts iu tho Park, Weduesnay uud Saturday afternoon, will bo resumed. It is devoutly to bo hoped that thc Empress Eugenie will rna away from France, if ouly to oblige the chap at thc other end of tho Atlantic cable. Ile has been insisting upon it for three weeks. Either the Empress requires a ridicu? lous length of timo to pack her trunks, or is not aware of tho telegraphing chap's anxiety, or she would oblige him out of sheer politeness. Tho Charleston Republican states that tho Rev. W. Watkin Hicks has "ten? dered his resignation" as assistant pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church, nud that ho was led to this step by tho "hubbub" occasioned in his congrega? tion by articles published in his muga zinc, tho XIX Century.
