Wo .i ties lay Horning* January 4,1871. It is possible that the loug threatened bombardment of Paria has commenced, altboogh thus far the rain of shot and olioll has only fallen upon an isolated fort, removed several miles from the heart of the capital. It is rumored, however, that on the 1st of January the fire upon the defences was to bo opened along the whole line, and from the con? tinued and patient preparations the be? siegers have been making for months past, there is little doubt but that they wiii soon be able to hurl their missiles into the most populous quarters of the doomed city. The defence of the capi? tal has beeu snob as to earn for its be? leaguered inhabitants the admiration of brave men of every country, bat with tho overwhelming odds that Prussia brings against them, we cannot under? stand tbe wisdom of a defeuce which must ultimately omi iu Submission, and especially can^wo ^not perceive tho good policy of sacrificing so magnificent a city as Paris to'certain destruction by an alien enemy; who so far bas shown a dis? position to save it from the terrors of a bombardment.' 'If there were n single chanco of relief, either from within or without, Paris would be right in defend? ing itself* to the last, but apparently th ero ia no such chance. The last sortie, gallantly conducted, terminated in dis? astrous defeat, and the army of the Loire, on whom the besieged mainly de ponded for nuocor, has boen almost anni? hilated. Continued resistance must, therefore, appear a mere usoloss entail? ment of suffering*iipou tho inhabitants, au inexcusable destraction of noble works of art, and a reckless risk of tho lives of the brave garrison. .-?-?-?-? SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.-On thc 17th of January fourteen States will elect members of tho United States Senate. Six States havo already elected, so that there will bo twenty new members in the Senate of the Forty-second Congress. Of the fonrteeu Senators to bo elected, according to a .st sterne ni iu the Philadel? phia Press, the ouly two about whore election there seems to be any certainty aro Wilson, of Massachusetts, and Thayer, of Nebraska. The election of these gentlemen seems to bo concoded. In Arkansas, Illiuois, Kans&s, Maine, Michigan, and other States, there is con? siderable of a contest. The Legislatures of 'all the States above named are Re? publican, and the only difficulty is as to the choice'of the man. The Democrats in the Senate will receive an aocession to their ranks of six Senators. If Mis? souri sends a Democrat, us it is expected Hue will, in place of Drake, thc Demo? crats will havo soveu out of the twenty new Senators. MT. CENTS.-The completion of tho grent tunnel at Mt. Cenis, on thc road from Ckamberry to Turin, is near at hand. The working partios iu tho oppo? site headings of the tunnel ure within hearing distanco of each other. Greet? ings and hurrahs were exchanged through tho dividing wall of rock for the first time at 4 15 Christmas afternoon. Henceforth there are no Alps for tho traveler, aud anything in the way of a tunnel is proved possible. This tunnel was commenced yours ago, at the very flood-tide of the ex-Emperor's greatness. He favored tho work, and it was pushed forward with much greater rapidity and zeal after the annexation of Savoy by France, which gave her tho Northern face of the mountain. Militarily, tho Mt. Cenis tnncel is likely to have much significance, and commercially it must greatly facilitate trado and travel be? tween Franco and Italy. -.-.-?-? Tho New York Express gives General Grant the following Christmas nuts to crack: "The election of a State Senator, in Philadelphia, last week, whereby the Senate of Pennsylvania is made secure for thc Democrats; the power to impeach Governor Holden, of North Carolina, for high crimes and misdemeanors against tho peoplo of his State, and the credit of his State, for corruption in ofiico; tho defeat of Bullock, Bloilgett & Co., in Georgia, and the election of a Legisla? ture from two-thirds to throo-fourlb? Domocrntic; tho successes in Goorgin is almost overwhelmiug, and but for the fraudulent negro votes, tho Federal ad? ministration, led byBulUock & Co., would havo hardly a corporal's guard loft." BOSH.-The New York HeraUl bab ouo of its sensational loaders on tho next Presidency, tho point of which is, thal as there is just now an anxious restless ness iu the American mind, Govornmoul ought to do something "bold, startling and inviting to the popular imagination or the popular mind will seek a vent ii a political revolution," &c. Tho Herah gots off politic?! revolutions enough ir its weather cock way, without any ait from General Grant-and yet thc "popa lar mind" is about as usual. DREADFUIJ .

Soot* Olark,- John Barclay, Dave Connor, Dr. Jf. Q. Castlen, Heury Ells, W. T. Nelson, Oeorge C. Napier, and a colored man named Bob Banks, left here in three batteans on a duck bunting excursion down tho Oomulgee river. They had proceeded down the stream to what is known as Bullard's, near Barclay's plantation, when, on yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, tho boat in which Mr. Honry N. Ells and his servant, Bob Banks, were seated, became capsized iu the tiver, by running against a log flouting down the stream. Mr. Ells oluug to his bout, but Bob grasped the log and climbed upon it. So soon as this occurred, the boat in which Messrs. Connor, Nelson and Napier wore scated, hurried to the ussistuuee of Ells and the negro, and in tho strugglo to get them ont of the water, this boat was also capsized, and the waler was so intensely cold that the struggle was then for life ow the part of eaoh individual, and as olinging to the boats in such cold water was cor tain death, each man, except tho negro, struck out for tho banks. Messrs. Nelson, Napier and Connor succeeded in reaching the opposite bauk of tho river, neur Barclay's 1 plantation, and after wading through a canebrake and water waist deep, and through the ice io the swamp, they managed to lind their way to Mr. Barclay's house, after suffering most terribly from the cold. Mr. Ells was drowned. The colored mau still dung to the flouting log, but as he oould not swim, and was nearly frozen to death, no hopes are entertained that he is alive. FATAL, EXPLOSION IN WILLIAMSBURG, NEW YORK.-A terrible calamity hap? pened in Williamsburg on the 29th ult. About 7 o'clock, tho boiler in the iron fouudry of Miller & Defere, on the cor? ner of Norlh Thirteenth and Second streets, exploded.

TnouniiES IN UNION-MURDER OF WHITE MAN ny SCOTT'S MILITIA.-C Saturday night last, while Mr. Mi Stovens--a peaceable man, who lost i arm in Confederate servico-was on I way to Union, with a load of goods his wagon-among other things, a bari of whiskey-he was halted by a party militia, numbering about tweuty-?A under command of Capt. Walker, and demand mndo upon him for whiske Steveus gavo thom a bottle-full, whii was immediately cousumed, and he w ordered to givo them more; this he d dined-stating thut the liquor belong to other parties. They then threaten to take it ; when Stevens told them would be ot their peril; the answer w a volley of bullets, which killed him i stantly. A white man, named P bertson, was in company with Stevot but sonotS??dfea ' id mauibgf ? bis' eccWppV Ou S u JJ day :tU* body of the pour dray man woa iou nd, : about 200 yards from the road, ;ir-d underneath the body wero two breech-loading cartridges-the same aa UBod by the Governor's militia. Wurrauts were issued aud flfteeuaolored men were arrested, on suspicion. Bun? dey night, Actiug Deputy Sheriff Daniel Smith, withaposso, went to a houso to urros.t a party of four,*but they were denied admission. The inmates wore iufonned that Smith had a warrant for their a mut, and they must surrender. Tho parties inside immediately com? menced firing, and Mr. Smith was severely wounded. Fiuditg that harsh rnenanres were about beiug resorted to, tho inmates surrendered. While in jail, ono of tim militia mudo a full confession and statement of the case-oharging Capt. Waiker and Iiis militia with tho whole uffuir. Walker attempted to escape, but was overhauled about twenty miles from Union, as he was gcttiug on n railroad train. He refused to give himself up at first, but when told that there was a warrant for his arrest, and lie must go huck, he gave in. There is intens.' excitement in Union, and on Monday night, os wo learn from pas? sengers, the town was fired in four places; but no damage was done. A prominent colored mun, named Bates, who is now iu Columbia-with tho in? tention, as he declares, of laying the whole matter before the Governor-also charges Wnlkor with the crime, and de? clines, also, that he knows who fired the first shot. If the nrms are to be used for murdering unoffending whites, the sooner the militia are deprived of them, the better. HOMICIDE IS EDOBFIEXID.-We are in? formed that a difficulty occurred on Sun? day last, in Edgefield, between Mr. Churlos Hamilton and Capt. O. N. But? ler, brother of kGen. M. C.
