William, and the great armies, thoroughly.. disciplined,..are.. thundering _ away at the very. gates of the French + capital, bat it does not follow that " ‘France is conquered. We have already given in these columns a sketch of the extended fortifications, and the advantage of concentrating a force at any threatened point to repel attacks from without. High. military authority declares that it will require 1,500,000 men to successfully invest the city, and it would be madness to attempt to take it by'storm. The work must be done by heavy fighting, ‘after large siege guns have been placed in position. Delafield ‘says the capture of Paris is the defeat of France, and King William seems to be acting upon the theory. that France is not whipped until the city is taken. France has a population of 10,900,000 more men than the United States had at the beginning of the civil war, and we could put in the field nearly a million of men. France united conld do better, the only queetion being the ability to supply them with arms. Paris has been greatly strengthened, and its defenses are in on the roof of the mill building, was His escape from the roof was a very narrow one. Joe Ducotay, who assisted so made a narrow escape, and he did so by rolling off the roof to the ground. The engine kept running during the fire, and as 860n a8 the belts were burned off the engine “ran away” as it is termed. The veloccity of the flywheel, which weighed eight tons, became so great that the wheel flew to pieces and large fragments.were thrown off at a tangent, some of them« going high into the air, and falling two hundred yards distance from the engine room. The explosion of the powder magazine was a magnificent sight. It made no great noise, and threw out no dangerous missiles. A stream of red fire ran up from the magazine into the black smoke from the burning pine wood, and the red flame turned into a white smoke, which soon surmounted the black column and spread out two thousand feet in the air, like a great white rose having a huge black stem. We heard that the explosion could be distinctly seen at Nevada City. About 800 kegs of powder exploded at once. There was a considerable quantity of Murray in trying to put out the fire, aljournals named protest against per eir ~ ground ineh by inch. The advantage _ struggle is thorough organjzation, amcommand of an excellent soldier and thorough organizer, and there seems wo be a determination to contest the of Prussia at the present crisis of the ple supplies of munitions of war and her ‘previous victories, France, while her armies are disorganized and defeated, is, as Frenchmen believe, fighting in defense of its soil against invaders. ‘This has a tendency to arouse and unite the nation, and should the war continue, there is a possibility that Franee may successfully resist the besieging army. But the subjugation of France is improbable, and Prussia does not seem disposed to effect it, if peace can be secured., It isnow authentically declared that Bismarck has no desire to interfere:-with the domestic affairs of the country, and that Prussia is ready to treat for peace so soon as & Government exists that cam guarantee the conditions agreed upon. In the face of these declarations, it is not probable that Napoleon will. be reinstated by Prussia, or that a Government would be dictated, and if such a course were pursued, the Government would not stand long enough forthe armies to get out of the territory. The time is past in the history of the world when one nation can force a ruler upon another, and Bismarck is too wise a politician to attempt it. We believe that peace will be made before Paris, and that France will be more than repaid for all loases in the war, by its riddance from the corrupt and unprincipled dyTue directors of the Fair which is to take place at San Antonio, Texas, on the 5th of October, have a proposal that every handsome lady iti the State shall senda photograph of herself to! +, obtain all the granite they need at the Fair, and a committee will select the most beautiful and have a picture painted of the” lady, according to the photograph, and ‘present it to her as a prise. The ladies who expect to compete are requested to assume a standing .position, dressed in a flowing robe, in ‘order to’ give better effect to the painting, whieh is to be life size. t —>— AT present there are thirty-two circuses in the United States.

The tanks were found blown. off at the upper end. The metal evaporated, of course, and probably a shower of mereury occurred at some distance from the fire. The Empire mine has been paying welfof late~and-theréforedamages will be rapidly repsired. CnaNGE oF VENUE.—The Grass Valley Union says: Pat. Keenan, ac cused before Justice Fanston of assault and battery on Lotta Morton, filed an affidavit which set forth that he could not get justice in this township, because of the prejudice existing here against him. The affiant asked fora change of venue, and Justice Funston acceded to the request, by sending the case to Nevada township. We think Keenan could have obtained justice here ; and we are sure that he ought to obtain it in Nevada township. BisMaRcK explains to an Englishman that he did not say the Germans would treat only with Napoleon or the Regency. He avers that he has no sort of wish to interfere in the Domestic affairs of France, but that he can’t treat’with the Republic until he finds it in a position to bind the French people to its contracts,“ Grass Vatiex Irems.— We condense the following from the Union: Toothache is an epidemic in Grass Valley, there being éleven cases in one day ..A teamster was badly hurt at Rough and Ready on Wednesday, being run ‘over by his wagon..4 Saratoga trank was attached by a Grass Valley man but as‘it had nothing but female apparel in it he let it go. Worx in the Foleom granite quarry is progressing favorably, and San Francisco and Sacramento will soom be able such prices as to largely increase the demand for building purposes. oe TE census enumeration of New Orleans is nearly completed, and according to the returns, the population will appear to be a little more than 180,000, including the newly annexed territory The population of New Orleans alone, in 1860, exceeded 160,000. : i A Mrs, SPINNER, of Massachusetts, has formed a limited partnership with her husband for the manufacture of shoes. The lady pays $5,000. ADVICE to fish eaters—deal gently . of 000, is to be starved in Colusa ee bought tract. Theship had allthe apparte barricades, etc. Another vessel put intothe same porta short while ago, having on board 270 coolies. The mitting them to make use of their port in pated thie deplorable _business. ey are more conscientious than the Radical party of this State, who encourage Chinese slavery and employ it to break down white labor.— The Reporter grossly misrepresents the Radical. party by the concluding statement in the above paragraph. As early as 1863 Congress -passed-aiaw prohibiting the importation of coolies, and prohibiting the enforcement in this country of contracts made in China. This law has since, if we mistake not, been made more stringent, and the importation is strictly forbidden by the Burlingame treaty, which prohibits any other than “voluntary immigration.” In the last campagn the Democracy solemnly pledged themselves to stop Chinese immigration, and if instead of«quarreling among themselves about immigration, they had passed laws and by investigation shown the true position of the Chinese question, the influx of Chinese, if not prohibited entirely, could under existing laws be greatly decreased. The most effective . means adopted by the last Legislature in the way of redeeming the pledges made the people on this question, was. the passage of a law requiring the vaccinnation of the Chinese at one dollar per head as. they landed, and also another paying a Commissioner a high salary for ascertaining whether they were criminals or not. Every Democratic speaker on the stump solemnly pledged the party to prohibit this immigration by Legislative enactment, and the fact that the promise was not redeemed leaves the party before the also pledged retrenchment and went back on this pledge by largely increasing salaries of officers, and now these same broken pledges are renewed to catch votes for the next time, and the same old songis to be sung, with hopes of getting another pull at the public crib. This game wont do. The Reporter and its party will hardly be able to stock the cards on the people next time. Practica Farru.—The San Joaquin Republican says that the second well at the Stockton water works has reached a depth of 207 feet, and at that depth a layer or stratum of gravel is struck, which muchresembles the gravel ef our gold paying mountain creeks. Quartz and black sand are abundant, and a yellow light substance, resembling gold in everything except probably mica, but several old miners talk of staking off claims and sinking a shaft, preparatory to drifting. Tue first Emperor Napoleon wore but one ring, containing a valuable amethyst, which General De Beauharnois, after being imprisoned during the Reign of Terror, Seat to-his wife Josaphine. Queen Hortense wore this ring after Josaphine’s death, and the present Emperor Napoleon has had it on his hand ever since his mother’s death. At Lawrence, Kansas, on a recent Sunday, whilea minister was holding forth in the church, a crowd got upa cock fight in the yard. The people who had congregated to hear the “Word,” went out to put a stop to the fight, but waited until it was over before . The minister looked e window at the crowd, and said: “We are all miserable sinners— people with its broken pledges. It} Paps weight, is found quite plentiful. It is} the . DR.

As I have left California and intend te pass & year in Europe, I request you to cancel my name from your assessment roll, and perhaps by the time I return there will be noincome tax. Respectfully, Tuomas MoonEY.” The order was on the California ‘Building; Savings and Loan Society, and would not have been honored had the bank not fa‘led. He is yoted the champion jokist of the Pacific coast. Tre Keerper.—W. A. King, of Trockee, member of the last Legislature, has been appointed time keeper cof the workmen of the Gubernatorial Mansion, Sacramento. The last Legislature appropriated $50,000, and $14, 000 has already been expended fora . lot. Fifty thousand more will be wanted after awhile to complete the mansion. THE past Summer was the hottest one for ninety-two years. They have been overhauling the records of Yale
College. From January 10th to August 15th, 1867, the mean daily temperatare . was, at New Haveh, 85 degrees, and no season, at least since 1778, has shown go. many consecutive hot days. The. highest temperature this Summer was July 17th, noted at 94 degrees, and this has been exceeded only four times during the period above indicated at New Haven—the thermometer rising to 1 degrees one day each year in 1784, 1800 and 1840. In 1798 it reached 101. Miss WILKINS was a beautiful blond and she wanted to go to Newport—so the told her mother—to look for someshing particular for papa. “And what is it pray,” asked her mother, “that you wish so much to find for your dear ?” “A son-in-law,” was the gen le reply of the blushing maiden. A FAITHFUL wife at Cleveland, Ohio, learning that her husband had been locked up for drunkenness, last week, took her babe to the court room and demanded his release. When the Magistrate refused to accede to hér request, she placed the little innocent at the door of her husband’s cell, and strode out of the prison with a majestic step. Hinckey, a Boston artist, is [painting elk in Humboldt. It is proposed to open the old road between Sonoma and Napa. H. H. Squmep killed a 300-pound grizzly in Sierra county, last week. Wa.
