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

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

‘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.”’

. 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

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.
