COLUMBIA, S. C. . i ?? Ti , '-Ti-----? Tuesday Uorning, September 13,1870. Ttoo War. l> OAK TOT FBBNOH RBPUBIIIO STAND? Speculation aa to tho chances of the con? tinuance pf a Bepublican Government in France, munt, at this time, be wild and desperate. There ia soarcely anything upon .which to found a theory or to strengthen a guess. We have facts from history before as, which show that two Republican experiments in Franco have been failures. Butin each instanco, we have the proof that the tendency of the French people to Republican Govern? ment was subverted and ( urned unido by a Bonaparte. After the terrors of the French Revolution, the Government of France, considering tho stormy charac? ter of the times, was judiciously cou duoted by the Directory. But tho Direc? tory interfered with the ambitious plans of Napoleon Bonaparte, uud with tho aid of the a? my, he overthrow that deposi? tory of power, aud tho three Consuls were appointed. The First Consul soon became Consul for life, and then Empe? ror,, and so the fuir fabric of liberty iu France was toro dowu by thc man who had been nurtured and strengthened and placed in power by the opportunities af? forded him by a Republican Govern? ment. The Republic of 1818 was esta? blished with very little bloodshed, and conducted with prudeuoe by its origina? tors, and with honesty by Gen. Cavaig nao. Bat Franco had not yet supped ber full cup of woes from the bauds of the Bonapartes. That truo und hauest old Republican, Cavaignac, whoso faith had never been doubted, did not seem to have the qualifications, in the lick lo minds of Frenchmen, necessary to secure tho national glory. He was put asido iu deference to the supposed claims of a Bonaparte, and Charles Louis Napoleon, Whose ambition had been always to carry oat tho traditions of tho fatuity, was chosen in his stead. Napoleon III, li ko Napoleon I, carno into tho possession of power under the Republic, with pledges of fidolity to tho Rupublicuu cause. But as soon as tho last Bonaparte was fully seated iu authority, he began those in trigues which wero ueees->ury to m ak o him au aatocrat. The coup d'clal of De? cember, 1851, led to the extension of his term as President for ten years. Thc pl?biscitant, in which less than 8,000,000 votes were cast altogether, was tho form' used to make him Emperor, and he as? sumed that title oa December 2, 1852. Thus, it seems, that every effort in France to establish a Republic, however honest the feoliogs of the people might have been, bas been rendered futile and pat aside by Bonaparte influence. The third endeavor may or may not havu dif? ferent results. If Franco were freo from invasion, if the deposition of Napoleon bad beeu the result of a popular move? ment in time of peace, no other nal ion would have dared to interfere. But under present circumstances, with forcigu sol? diers upon her soil, with the scions of the bouses of Orleans and Bourbon ba? nished, there was really uo method avail? able, for the time being, to maintain order, but the establishment of a govern? ment restiug upon tho will of the people. Whether Prussia will interfere aud en? deavor to bring back some of tho repre? sentatives of past royalty, or whether the Republic will have a chunco to esta? blish itself permanently; whether foreign uations will endeavor to take part in this m at tor, are things which at present can? not be guessed. The New York Times says: The Empiro must have been a fraud, or a collapse so sudden aud completo had been impossible. ?Six weeks ugo, it was the bugbear of Europe. Two weeks later, it menaced the Germany which hus crushed it like an egg shell. In thut interval, its hollowness has boen proved. Its hold upon the heart of Frunce has beon Bhown to bo ns mythical as tho armed hos <8 which figured for yearn on the pay-rolls. The .miuuufaeture of a popular vote was easy while a costly organization was in the Imperial sor vico, but there is no longer any necessity to conceal the aversion and contempt with which tho Imperial uamo is regard? ed by tho peoplo. Tho absence of anger renders tho revulsion more re? markable. Nothing that can evince a determination as far as possible to oblit? erate tho traces of Napoleon's rulo is omitted, but in tho demonstrations there is uo ill temper. Eugenio pusses unmo? lested out of a sido door of the Palace, aud wends her way to Belgium. Tho New York Herald asserts that tho moral effect of tho war is already shak? ing up tho great nations of Europe. Spain, which has been hoping for a Re? publican Government since the expulsion of Queen Isabella, is again excited on the question, and a strong Republican sentiment is obtaining expression. Con? flicts have occurred between Republicans and Carlista in some parts of the cona try, tho Constituent. Corps has been called for September 15, and tho Regent hu: returned to Madrid. The Itahau troops, with tho hopo of transferring theil capital to Rome, aro again in urina mov ing upon tho Holy City, with no Na poleon or French troops to block tin way, end with every prospect of suooess tn their undertaking. In Austria the establishment of German unity has pro? duced tap al most rovo] utionary. son ti naen t favoring a fuoion with the TTniSpd (Tor man Confederation. Ton Bod st himself is said'to favor tho union. Thoa tho gr??t war begins to spread, and no ono knows where it may end. STATEMENT OF GENEBATJ WIIITFTEN. General de Wimpfien, who surrendered at Sodnn, publishes a long explanation in the Paris papers regarding his posi? tion at tho time of the surrender. In it he states that he hos recently arrived from Algeria, and was immediately or? dered to a i command under Marshal McMahon, at Sedan. On his arrival thore he found McMahon suffering from severe wounds in his book aud hip, re? sulting from the explosion of a shell, fragments of which had struck bim, in? capacitating him from active directions of tho movements of his army. Genoral Wimpfien was thus compelled to nssumo commaud of the army, which was already beuteu. Though ignorant of tho posi? tion, still ho refused to sigu articles of capitulation. Tho Prussians produced a map which showed thc position of tho Gcrinuu troops and batteries, and convinced him that the destruction of tho French army was inevitable. Then ouly was tho surren? der concluded. Tho following is the ad? dress of Geueral Wimpfien to tho sol? diers, dated Sedan, September 3: Soldiers: Ou Thursday you fought against a force greatly superior in num? bers from daybrcuk until dark. You re? sisted tho enemy with tho utmost brave? ry. When you had fired your last car? tridge, were worn out with fighting, and not being able to respond to tho call of your generals aud ofiicors to attempt to rejoin Marshal Bazaine by the road to Montmedy, yon were forcod to retreat on Sedan. lu this desperate effort but two thousand men could be got together, and your general deemed the attempt utterly hopeless aud impraticable. Your gene? ral found, with deep regret, when tho army was re-united within tho walls of the town, that it had supplies neither of food nor am mu nit ion ; could neither leuvo tho place nor defeud it, means of existence beiug aliko wanting for Ibo population. I was, therefore, reduced to the sad alternative of treating with tho enemy. I sont, yesterday, to tho Prus? sian headquarters, with full powers from tho Emperor, but could not at first bring myself to accept tho conditions imposed by tho oucmy. This morning, however, ni en aced by a bombardment to which wo could not reply, I decided to muko a fresh attempt to get J onorablo terms. I have obtained conditions by which we aro saved much of tho possiblo annoy? ing aud insulting formalities which the usages of war generally impose. Under tho circumstances iu which wo fiud ourselves, it only remains for us, officers and soldiers, to accept with resig? nation tho consequences of Ibo surren? der. We have at least the consolation of knowing a useless massacro has been avoided, and wo yielded only under cir? cumstances against which no army could fight-namely, want of food and ammu? nition. Now, soldiers, iu conclusion, let mo say that you uro still able to render bril? liant services to your country without beiug needlessly slaughtered. General Commanding in Chief. DE WI.MPFFEN. BAD FAITH or TUE FRENCH.-On Sat? urday tba whole force, laid down their arms. Not a few soldiers in their rage broke rather" than give up their arms, and the st reids were littered with frag? ments of all kinds of weapons broken - swords, riilcs, pistols, lancers' helmets, cuirasses, even mitrailleuses covered the ground; aud in ono pince where the Meuse runs through the town tho heaps of such fragments chokod tho stream and roso above tho surface. The mud of the streets was black with gunpowder. Tho horses had been tied to the houses aud gun carriages, but nobody remembered to food or water thom, and in tho frenzy of hunger and thirst they broko loose aud rah wild through the towu. Who? ever likod might have a horse-even ollie rs' horses which wero private pro? perty-for thc tronblo of catching them. A PRECEDENT.-In 1525, King Francis I, of Frunce, surrendered at Paris to the Emperor Charles V, of Germany. More than 300 years pass, and another occu? pant of the throne of Franco surrenders to ono who claims the titlo of Emperor. In the first caso, tho royal prisoner was woll treated by Jiis captor, and tho cap? tor soon after entered a monastery, and t here died. Francis I was tho originator of tho "Field of the Cloth of Gold," though not the author of tho drama of that name. Ho also invented tho say? ing, (in a letter to his mother:) "All is lost except honor"-a lino sentiment, which will outlast tho lines of Louis Napoleon, who wrote: "As I cannot die at tho head of my army, I lay niy sword at t"e feet of your Majesty." DESERTED CHAMBERS.-When Eugenie left her room at tho Tuilleries tho wreck consisted of trunks, band- loxes and un? limited fjmalo wearing apparel. Tho Emperor's room was full of hats, empty segar boxes, a prodigious number of bottles of phosphate of iron, books, papers and ;i revolver caso. Tho Princo Imperial left behind an unfinished histo? rical exorcise and a lot of leaden soldiers. So all that remained of imperialism con? sisted mainly of band-boxes, phosphate of iron and a handful of toys. When wo behold tho Emperor of the French a prisoner in tho hands of the Prussians, and seo tho Empress flying to his side, we can not but remember tho fato of Maximilian aud of poor Carlotta, and tho question naturally presents itself: "Is uot this retributive justice?" GUIZOT.-This venerable and eminent sto.tesmau has turned up, and expresses glorious hopes for Franco, in spite of her disasters. A lino lot of Brandy Peaches, domes? tics to be had at POLLOCK'S. THE FRENCH IMPERIAL FAMTLY.-Tho late Emperor of the Frenob, Napoleon III,, is at Wilholmahoho Castle, near Cassel, Germany, a prisoner of war, with an imrnonso train pf attendants; the ex Empress Eugenio is a gneet ot the Ho og vc un family, at their Chateau of Moyose, near Brussels, Belgium; and tho Prince Imperial, under the oharge of bis governor, is at Hastings, England. The Empress, it is given out, intends first to visit her husband and then to re? join her son at Hastings. With tho con? clusion of a treaty of peaco between Germany nud France tho Emperor will doubtless be given bia liberty, and in all probability will establish his residence with his family in England. Powerless to do any further mischief, ho will not bo held as a prisoner by tho groat pow? ers, as was his ?nele, lirst ut Elba and then nt St. Helena; but with a settle? ment with Franco wo expect he will be reloascd, "with all tho world before him where to choose," and that from his entente cordiale with Euglund he will thoro, like Louis Phillippe, pass the terra of his oxilo, troubling the world no more. [A^eir York Herald. THU PRUSSIAN FOIIM or GOVERNMENT. Prussia, proper, is now a constitutional monarchy, hereditary in the mule lino of the house of Hohenzollern. Tho consti? tution, which is derived from grunt by King Frederick William IV, brother of tho present sovereign, modified by sub? sequent grants, and has only been in ex? istence since 1818, vests tho executive and part of the legislative authority in tho king. In tho executive branch bc ia assisted by a cou noil of ministers ap? pointed by himself. The legislativo bodies consist of tho "Herrenhaus," which is tho Upper Chamber, and is composed of the princes of tho royal family; sixteen "mediatized" friends; tho heads of tho territorial nobility; eight life peers; eight titled noblemen olected by tho laud owners in the eight provinces; representatives of the uni? versities; tho beads of "chapters;" the mayors of towns haviug moro than 50,000 inhabitants; and persous nomi? nated at tho pleasuro of thc king. The second chamber is composed of 4.32 members, chosen for threo years by I general but not universal BU fir age. A COLORED MAN SHOT.-On Friday last, in Barnwell County, a colored man, named Henry Hutchinson, was badly shot by another colored man named Henry Black, ^t appears that Black had hired Hutchinson a molo to ride ou to Augusta, nud, while there, Hutchin? son pawned tho mnle. On his return to Barnwell, Black attempted' to airest Hutchinson, who ran, wherenpou Black fired, hitting him in thu back, and in? flicting a severe wound. Hutchinson wns committed to jail in Augusta. The mulo was recovered. A REBEL LEO AND A LOYAL LEO. Colonel John H. Savoge, of Warren, , Tenn., declines a nomination to Con? gress, because of the fourteenth amend? ment. Nevertheless, he thinks the United States han no sufficient causo to hold him, in law and morals, nu enemy aud a rebel, for ho has a rebel leg and a loyal leg-ono shattered under tho United States flag at Molino del Rey, and tho other under tho Confederate Stales Hag at Perry ville. The census, now nearly completed, is agitating New Yorkers, because it givo3 only about OOO,OOO population. But this is explained in the enormous growth of our suburbs. Brooklyn shows an in? crease of fully one-half, aud other near points even moro. Somo wards of Brooklyn havo doubled in fivo years. Now York City will hardly hold its six members of Congress, as it has but five out of thirty-two State Senators. Two valuable horses wer? being exer? cised in Manchester, Vermont, a few days ago, and while going in opposite directions, collided, instantly killing one horse, tho shaft penetrating his vitals. The other bas n shaft wound in his bre.ast, and his right fore leg broken. It will have to bo killed. Both wero valu? able horses. Gallantry saved a youug gentleman's lifo in Bath County, Ky., a few days ago. Two ladies named Dennis, in walking homo during a storm, took shel? ter under a tree, Mr. Harry Riddle vacatiug tho dry spot for them just in timo to receive n severo shock from tho lighting, which killed MissEllen Dennis, who took his position. Afluir? in San Domingo once more wear a revolutionary aspect. President Baez hus lost his popoulurity, and his deposition from power will probably bo the next itom of news from the island. Tho people of San Domingo never seem content, savo when they aro on tho evo or in tho throes of a revolution. EDUCATION or THE COLORED PEOPLE. Gen. O. O. Howard's Freedmen's Bu? reau report for tho past fiscal year shows somo advance in thu education of colored people During tho lust half year there havo been 2.G77 schools, with 3.G33 teachers und 149,581) scholars; 33,221 of these pay their own tuition; only 0,887 were free before tho war; 2,208 of tho teachers aro colored aud 1,308 white. On Thursday ufternoon, as a construc? tion train on thc East Tennessee, Virgi? nia and Georgia Railroad was leaving the station at Sweetwater, tho boiler exploded, killing tho cngineor, Mr. Hugh Burger, and badly scalding Mr. A. Min? ion, tho fireman. Tho military career of King William I, of Prussia, extends over a period of fifty-five years. His Majesty, who was born iu 1707, was present at tho battle of Waterloo, and was then but eighteen years of r^e. Tho New York Tribuue, now that tho boot, is on tho other log.'iu describing the enormities committed by the Turcos, no longer claims that "tho colored ?roops fought nobly." The death of Gen. Robert Auderson, of Fort Sumter notoriety, is reported. The JPrincoss Mathilde is the sister of Prinoo Napoleon and cousin o? the Em? peror. The Princesa Clothilde is tho wife of Priuco Napoleon and daughter of the King of Italy. The Parisian po? pulace were devoted, to her. H,er gentle? ness, piety, and benevolence bsd endear? ed her to them, and when she recently departed from Paris to go to Italy, the publie demonstrations of respect for ber Were of a marked character. Tho Lancaster Ledger says: ' 'Governor Scott told ono of the election commis? sioners in this County, just before the recent Congressional election, that if a Republican wus not elected the mana? gers were to blame. Said he: 'I have appointed tho commissioners, the com? missioners have th? appointment of the managers; if tho managers don't count tho votes right, I'm not to blame.' " A Philadelphia paper finds that the oity ate 9,000 moro beeves than lastyenr, but mentions a "dropping oil a little on hogs." It innocently adds, thnt "tho idea intrudes itself upou the mind that, our population is decreasing." A NEW AKT.-That of enamelling por? traits on China hus been introduced into the United States. Beautiful likenesses of a fumil.v can be made ou oups and saucers, dishes, &c. Tnocnu.-Tho French commandant at1 Paris left tho calf of one of his legs at Sebastopol, and now acquires symme? try after the manner of the Chapman sisters. The principal portion of the town of | Port Mine, Sierra County, California, was burned on the 1st inst. Twenty-two buildings were destroyed. The little ship llugusu, which is ouly a little over two tons burden, has just reached Boston from Queenstown, after au eighty days' voyage.

Mc Master, of this placo, Major Hamil? ton, of Chester, aud others, addressed the meeting with effect. A Reform Club was formed. We hope that organizations will bo promptly consummated all through tho County. The Wards iu Columbia aro organiz? ing, and lot nil Richland do its full duty. PIIU:NIXIANA.-Tho "hog law" should be enforced in Columbia. Tho streets aro rooted np in every direction, and ladies going and returning from church are bespattered hy tho mud which these GIthy animals liberally distributo. It is to bo hoped that the regular races be? tween dog and hog will soon be inaugu? rated. Tho laborers engaged in removing the debris from the cellars ou tho old Walter lot, a few doors below the I'IIONIX office, brought to light a grappling iron, or anchor, used hy Frof. Lowe, the bal? loonist, on his celebrated serial voyage from Cincinnati to South Carolina, dur? ing the fall of 1SG1. The Professor at? tempted to reach Fortress Monroe, but contrary winds carried him in an oppo? site direction, aud he landed, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a few miles from Union Court House-making the trip in something less thau eleven hours. The descent of the balloon terribly frightened a number of slaves at work iu a Geld, and they decamped-supposing it to be a visitant from another world. Tho balloonist was carried before the proper authorities, where satisfactory explanations were made, and he was al? lowed to depart, balloon mid all, North? ward by rail. While in Coiumbia, cour? tesies were extended to him by Audrcw Leo, Esq., of the Southern Express Company, and tho Professor requested him to keep tho anchor-which was the means of laudiug him safely on torra firma-suspended iu his oflice, ns a re? membrancer. The tire of 18G5 destroyed the building, and the old instrument, after a lapso of nearly six years, was, ou Saturday, again brought to tho surface. Tho auuual fair of tho "Georgia Stnte Agricultural Society" occurs October 19 to 2G, inclusive, at tho "Oglethorpe Park," (tho Society's grounds,) a station upon the Western and Atlantic Road, and t wo miles from tho city of Atlanta. Ample grounds, beautifully located and adorned with taste, possessing every re? quisite accommodation for the care and display of all articles of every kind ex? hibited; together with nicely prepared buildings and grounds arranged for the comfort aud amusement of all visitors, are among tho primary attractions. Thc womau question-who is to set tho fashions now that Eugenio is de? throned? "Crown Prince Neckties" ure in fash? ion. Swaflield bas them. Railroads have no affections, yet they ought to have strong tics. Ono victory yet remains to King Wil? liam greater than all his others-the victory of mercy. Napoleon tried to exchange his throne for a Sedan, but both have proved very insecure seats for him. The Germans carried on the war in so offensive a manner that Napoleon isn't goiug to light with them any more.

WARD ORGANIZATIONS.-We would ask the attention of our merchants, mechan? ics and citizens, gouerally, to the duty that devolves upon them to give force, efficiency and strength, to the Reform Ward Clubs. It is time for every man to take his place. The interests of South Carolina are advanced or retarded at tho ballot-box. All through South Carolina a united and vigorous effort is now mak? ing for reform. Tho up country, the middle country, the Pee Deo country, the Fea coasts are all organizing and work? ing. Here, in Columbia, our citizens have hitherto dono their whole duty. Lot them not fail ou this occasion. The Re? form movement looks to tho weal of this city. Lot us act accordingly.
