' Thursday ?uorning, December 22.1870. The Cauto of Pronce's .Foliurf Tho cousus of Frtvnco evidences its greatness aa a military power. Ai the outbreak of. the present war, the French soldiery were regarded as models of die o?plino, ?Od, in point of nu mba rs, were ia CXV?D?S of. any of the other armies of the conti nen'. They were oommo'iided by officers who had won honors from tho summit of the 'Malakoff, and on whom aljvH ros tod the glow of brilliant achieve? ments iii; Afri?a abd Italy., There could bo' no doubt of their ability to lead, and the rank arid file were full of that dan which ?S the titulity of all military organ? izations.. With the eamo spirit and ooorngo "their fathers displayed at Jeno, they followed tho eagles of tho Second Empire to the Saar. A half a cen luc? had not lessened the muscular power of Frenchmen. The men of eighteen hun? dred and seventy, were, in ull essential respects, the equals of those whom tho First Napol?on led so successfully, against as brave an enemy, as that William, of Prussia, marshals to day: France was rich in resources when the gauge of bat? tle was thrown down to the Hohenzol? lern, and a fertile science was perfecting its arms with a skill that promised splen? did results. Tho unexpected co-opera tiou of the Sonth German States with Prussia gave tho latter a numerical supremacy at tho outset, but Frunco was capable of doubling her field force in a month's time, and could thereby have turned the scale of. numbers in her owu favor? Why this, was not done; why de? feat and disaster followed .each other so rapidly, can bo ascribed onfy to ono cause, the petty jealousies and narrow ambitions of Frenchmen.. "It is a noto? rious fact, that prior to the calamity of Sedan, Napoleon's attention wus divided between his enemies in'Paris and those in the field. Soon after his leaving the court for the camp, the foes of his dynasty busied themselves in spreading dissensions among the mercurial popula? tion "of>the capital. All sorts of rumors, inimical:-iq the true interests of tho country, were circulated; hy men, tvho, claiming . to Jove France better than themselves, won qver.the people to their revolutionary dekigns at once. The forces in the field were not reinforced, the different departments failed to co? operate with the regency of the Empress, disoord prevailed in tho councils of the nation, and, as might have been ex? pected, disaster and disgrace in the field followed. Uudor the regime established subsequent to Eugenie's flight, when, to use a favorite expression of the "Left," the nation was freed from the trammels of a hated rule, matters did not improve much. The most violent opponents of tho deposed Emperor were invited to como forward and save the country from tho horrors of further invadion. Itochcfort and men of this kind were placed in re? sponsible positions. They were given an opportunity to rule France-an opportunity for which they had been clamoring ever since thnt memorable 2d of December, 1851. They found ull France willing to give them a fair trial. Men and money carno from all quarters; oven women leaped to arms, and the whole country was thrilled with enthusi? asm never before equaled, even in enthu? siastic France. Instead of bending every energy for the dofenco of tho country, person il jealousies grew op between the heads of departments, and the powers of the Government became paralyzed, bo cause there was nc comity between those charged with tho administration of pub? lic affairs. Napoleon's failure can be attributed to no other cause, and Gam? betta and his compeers have had no botter luck. The misfortunes of Frunce, therefore, have been the result of inter? nal discord, and not because tho people are less bravo than their adversaries. -?-??-? ENOUGH or Ir.-Wo hope Congress, for decency's and the Treasury's sake, will quit its discussions of the amnesty question. It is evident that no result can bo now arrived at that would com? port with either justice or sound policy, or that tho Sonth would not regard with contempt. It is, therefore, a useless waste of the country's limo, and some member would ?how hiu wisdom by moving to lay the Datier hill and all amendments on tho table; and it would not be amiss to kick lintier himself under it. The main object of lin tier's so-called amnesty turns out to bc a scheme to prevent the parties robbed by him Irom recovering damages in thc Courts. The thief thiuks every bush au officer, and Butler will desecrate ever tho sacred name of peace in order tc savo his plunder.
