War Reports. ficienege and Prussian reports from he seat of war,regarding. the skirmishing that has taken place, the effectiveness of weapons, and other military’ matters, are as ‘conflicting as were the reports derived from Federal and Con: federate sources “during ouf civil warAccording to the Frénch accounts, the new, Weapon, the.auitralleuse, did. terrible execution at’ the capture of Saar‘brucken, A battery of tliese engines was placed on the heights of Saurbrucken and afterward played upon a detachment of Prugsieus, who were seen near the railway a mile off, and who left half their.number on the field. A second detachment met the same fate, after which the Prussians kept at ® more respectful distance. A London ‘dispatch, probably derived from a French source, also testifies to the effectiveness of-the mitralleuse, and says ' they did wonders.: A Berlin dispatch, én the contrary, speaks of the weapcn contemptuonsly, and says it has no ter__rors_for the Prussians. .The French . tell us that Saarbrucken is a position of great importance, and its capture opens a way into Germany, while the Prussians profess to regard it as of little consequence. ° Relating to the fight at Weissenburg, and the capture of . that place, we have so far only the _ P¥ussian “account, whicl would indicate thatut wasia’ sharp action, Gen. Douay, the French.commander was absent, and the officer. next, in.command was killed, while the French loss in wounded and prisoners.is stated at 500. The Prussians say their own loss was _heavy, but do not give the number of . killed and wounded. The French version.of the affair will be certain to dif: fer from. this, insome particulars at least. As is always the case, the skirmishing at the beginning of the war excites much interest, but so far the armies are only feeling each other, and preparing the soldiers fora great bat tle, which from appearances must. svon take place. A Cutniy Stony. — The: ‘Maryeville Appeai gives a harrowing account of a man.who started from, Colusa on: Monday hight, during a severe snow storm which,prevailed: at;thetime ; how he drove through the piercing sleet and arrived at Orde le next) morning ; his horses being imuéh exhausted in wading through ‘the snow, and their legs badly cut in crossing the tules, he had them ‘pat: upyand= ‘started for: Marysville on foot, the snow being so drifted on«the railroad track as to prevent the running of.the cars. He took a hot ‘whisky’ ptitich and ‘started out alone, and was.mevermagain secu alive. Two days latér thé body’ of the unfortunaté man was found in & snow arifs, nedr the Oroville gladier,“where he had apparently become.exhausted” with cold, and.unable to proceed further laid ‘down’ and froze to death. The name of the ‘anfortunate man was Adam, Selle. We take it that.the writer was under-the influence of a coup dé Botiet wiéti “ie pentied the sad story, and his case-deserves immediate and pect treatment. He! ought to.be.sent.to the North Pole withoui delay, bivs o SuNsTROKE.—During the late hot : weather, quite a number of persons ‘were prostrated by the heat, and’ for. a time became ‘insénsible:.’ Two cases’ occurred fn this county, and three in the vicinity of Marysville. We have never heard of a case that proved fatal, and some physicians ‘say tliat they are not the genuing sunstroke, such" aa/‘are common in the'East, where a large proportion of the casea.are fatal.. The cases that occur-hére appear to be of a -mildef fot) Which eager tee tian ‘be accounted-for BY our sooler-nighte.— Tas at the Hote); in Caemnens ORT, shower that up; PETER bir {6 Ban Brand ino Jes ‘gerian villages, and the rich proprietors ‘is neither a Hungarian city, nor a German one, but a Jewish city, and we id Weather, ranci for the month: of 2 na site ies colt tp Gil toward meee gil ‘the Danes are so-eager to engage in the struggle, but on account of their hatred to Prussia. or this ‘théy have good cause; but the King is acting ‘prndently in “keeping aloof from alliance With France at present. Denmark could not be of the slightest service to France Ja the first battle on the Rhine, and until the military gperations take some definite shape it is the policy of the Danes to remain neutral. If they rush into the struggle now, and Prussia is successful, it has been given . out as her intention to occupy Jutlaud. This would be equal to the conquest of the entire kingdom, for there would be nothing left but Greenland, Iceland, and two small. West India islands, which Would hardly sell for, enough to afford the King a comfortable support in his old.age. A-Prussiam :vietory in the first general battle would greatly cool the warlike ardor of the Danes; while a Frenéh victory“ would tender them ungovernable, and force the Government into the contest, But in the latter case they could ‘engage in the war with a fair: prospect of recovering Schleswig and Helatetn. sd © Tae ISRARLITE 1N HvNGARY.— Count de Bethlen in reply to an attack on the Jews, in the Vaterland, a paper published in Vienna, writes in their defense : “The Israelites have. become . by their talent and activity a considerable factor of civilization, and they render great service to the world.. The-city of Pesth is divided in two parts, One part looks like a centre of European commerce—it is the Jewish quarter. The other part may be compared toa great village in a desert—it is the Hun garian quarter. All that in Pesthisa product of civilization, all that is designated a sign of European culture, has been produced by the money and talent of the Jews. Without them the capi. tal of the country would be on a level with Doebreezin, one of the preat Hnn2 would be smothered in the mud in spite of their property. Pesth’ to-day delight in it for Hungary’s sake and the cause of civilization. We thank the. Vaterjand.to, send us -all.thevJews that are not ‘wanted there aity longer, we will receive them with pleasure. The moreJews the nmorelight.”’ Our. MAIMED VEr@Rats.—Congrtess havitig provided by acts of June 17; and 80, and July 11, 1870, forthe re-issue,every five years; of artificial limbs; or the valae thereof ia ‘money, °td‘offfcets and soldiers, seamen whd matitiés; who have lost limbs! in! thé ‘édrvicd of hel United States, instractions ‘are published “for . the benefit of those interested. Upon application for limbs in kind; orders . will be given by: the: Surgeon General, upon any manufacturer eleeted;. who shall have first filed a bond in the sum of $5,000, with two sureties,.to furnish good and satisfactory limbs without “extra charge to the soldier, and to make . good all’ defects of material or workmanship without additional charge, subject in all cases to the inspection of two such persons.as the Surgeon Genera) may designate, Transportation to and from the place of fitting the limb will also be furnished upon a written request.addressed to the —— General. , Bs ite Hear ar Woenuane. —The Wooland' Mew of the 4th inst. says: Last Soesday apd Wednesday were regular & scotcherse—the hottest days.of the season, except the 2dof July. In consequence of this, business was very dull, and these in pursuit of pleasure had the hottest time of it.’ In this office the mercury stood at 106 degress on Tuesday, ahd ia degrees on Wedpening. ‘Tar report of the ean fede that cys aad ee Beets ‘nai . in consequence of their connection with mo destraction of -Dr. Africa. The writer made the acquaintance of Captain Burton,British Consul at Damascus, a man noted for his travels both in the New World and-in the Old, and in a position to be well informed as to the {tribes of Central Africa, and Dr. Livingstone’s adventures among them. He says the doctor’s recent stay of two years or theregbouts, like all other troubles, had a woman at the bottom of it. He. was first persuaded, much against his will, to marry a rudeand-native Princess, and when he afterwards proposed . to Tea¥e Mrs. Livingstone, in order to prosecute still further his. topographieal investigations, his fond father-inlaw and mother-in-law interposed such strong objections that he was virtually kept a prisoner, and. thus it happened that the honey-moon was so ontrageously prolonged. The Captain says the reason this fact has never been made public is that the doctor’s friends, feeling outraged by the transaction, have succeeded until recently in keeping the matter secret, The letter adds that “Captain Barton himself married the handsomest woman in England,” so that he can hardly, .be~moved with envy toward his fellow travéler, and, as he speaks sfourteen different languages, his capacity for. telling nnd truth would be considerable. THE NATHAN MurpDeR.—At the Nathan inquest, in New York, on the 4th before Coroner Rollins,three sons of the deceased were present, viz; Washington, Frederick and Julian. The nototety which their names have gained the father, caused them to be regarded with considerable curiosity. . Washington, the most conspicuous ‘of* them, . appeared cheerful, Frederick sad and dejected. No new facts were elicited, nor anything to throw light on the mystery. In fact, it would appear as though the longer the investigation continues, the deeper and more inextri. cable will the affair become. The evidence is merely corroborative of what has already been published, DeaTtH oF Dr. Rice.—D, W. C. Rice, an old resident of Marysville, died at San Francis¢eo-on Wednesday. The deceased came to Cal t in 1849, with the “Tinda Company,” settled in Marysville the next Summer, where he ptacticed medicine for many pa He removed some time since to San Francisco, and until lately was President of
the California Pacific (Vallejo) Railroad Company, which position he resigned on account of ill health. He was a native of Oswego county, a. ¥., and 47 years old. Wao He Was.—Some days since a tnan was found dead near Chico, It has been ascertained (hat his name was . Van Estes, and that he came to ‘this State in 1852 across the plains. He was a carpenter by trade, His death was caused by siticide.: Thre eT oT Mrs. SaRAn A, GRANT, aeaiding in Andover, Mass, died suddenly on Friday week, from the sting of 9 bee. Immediately after sie was stang she lay down on a lounge,saying, “Iam. dead,” and, going into conyulsions, died in about two hours afterward, THE Crops.—The California Farmer says it will be found on a carefal summing up of the harvest of 1870, that it is the best crop of cereals ever yet made in California.
