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.

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

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

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

day.
On tho 19th, there was shipped per

a youug man about eighteen years old.

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
