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

_ 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.

The tanks were found blown. off at the

course, and probably a shower of mereury occurred at some distance from
the fire. The Empire mine has been

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:

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. :

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

said: “We are all miserable sinners—

cof the workmen of the Gubernatorial
Mansion, Sacramento. The last Legislature appropriated $50,000, and $14,

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

reply of the blushing maiden.
A FAITHFUL wife at Cleveland, Ohio,
learning that her husband had been

she placed the little innocent at the
door of her husband’s cell, and strode
out of the prison with a majestic step.
