. 4 The Condition of France. — Even if France were not conguered, the discord among the people and quarrels.among rulers render it almost impossible to continue the ‘contest with ‘a hope of success. The nafion ‘is ‘vir_ tually prostrated, and any attempt to continue the war weuld seem madness, The evil genius of Napoleon still seems to curse the country, and we find him, after basely betraying the army into the hands of Prussia and ignominiously surrendering, instead of bravely dying es he promised, engaging in intrigue for the re-establishment of the Regency and the overthrow of Republicanism. Bazaine, it is said, utterly refuses to obey or recognize the Republican Government, still adhering to the Empire, and the Provisionals declare thut the only civil Government in France is at Tours. Here are the Emperor and Regency on one hand, the Provisionals and Republicans at Paris, all claiming the Government of France, while Bazaine refuses to co-operate with the Government ih Paris, where: the conflict with the enemy is imminent. These divisions must prove digastrous to France and destroy the last hope of success*\in battle. Had France been united and determined, the Prussians __would probably have been defeated un_ . der the waiJs of the capital. But the Emperor would not have victory for “the Republic. His regency once established, Bazaine’s army may be surrendered in the same cowardly manner that McMahon's was given into Prussianhands, There appears now to be little hope of. Republican success in France, at least until after peace is made and the people have an oppertenity to decide upon the ferm of Government. Then if the popular sentiment in favor of Republicanism is strong endugh it may win, bat never so lang as Prussian arnzies are on Freach soil, _ and’ Frenchmen, instead of uniting against the enemy, are quarreling about Government. Of one thing we feel confident, and that is that the Empire is virtually dead, and that neither Napoleon, the Empregs, the Prince Imperial or any of the line will be longer tolerated by the people. The corraption of the Emperor, the misrepresen_ tations of the army, forcing the country unprepared: into war, and lastly the cowardly surrender, are all too fresh in the minds of the people of Franee, for the schemer to succeed in fastening his dynasty upon that country, «. i PRUSSIAN ORGANIZATION. — The Prussian preparations for war extended to the most minute and thorough knowledge of the topography and re sources, military and pecuniary, of France, and included precautionary measures against possible contingencies, amounting almost to prescience As an instance, it is said that they not only Know the -location and size of every village in the east of France, but they can also tell the exact stabling capacity of each. They need no guides. On the other hand, the French officers, according to the same authority, show i the most profound ignorance ot the region.in which they are operating. Even McMahon lost the road to Saverne on the retreat ffom Haguenatu, and was obliged to inquire the way. No leas wonderful is the perfection of Prussian discipline. An eye witness of the battle of Woerth,writes that the Prussians marched with the most faultless ion, never wavering under the severest fire from mitrailleuse and chassepots. They preserved better order, it is said, than the French did on the parade ground, The valor and impetuosity of the French soldiers are extolled on all sides, but in all the higher elements of organization the Prussian armies have @ fatal advantage. becoming plentiful in the foothills of tbat county within the last few weeks. ane ou Clover Croat, ced ‘Brest. tied The Cattle Ordinatice. © Parties having horned cattle would Wo Well to readthe city ordinauée puban ordinance goes into effect two weeks after the.first publication, wliidh is today.

M.Foster, who is engaged ig the ice business at.Tinker’s Station in this county, was seriously injured on Monday, while engaged in building an ice house. One arm was broken, his ribs on one side crushed in and his body considerably bruised. The Znterprise in speaking of the acvident says: “It appears that near Tinker’s Station there is a lake, over a portion of which Mr. Foster has been engaged in erecting a large shed, to keep the snow from falling into the water and interfering with the ice making business.” This shed is being constructed of very heavy timbers, and in hoistin some of these it would seem the ft folding gave way and fell upon the unfortunate man,” Victoria Quartz Mine. . .

It seems more likely to be of use against a mob in Gert) tionary city than in warfare. But on a plain, at short ranges, and in the hands of five or seven skilled attendants, a mitrailleuse is as effective as four or five times that mumber of men with small-arms. haw BurGLARIous Missrves.—Agentleman of Chicago, who found it necessary to take the life of a burglar some time since, to prevent'a quantity of valuable ] property from being removed, has since } been disturbed at intervals by the receipt of letters cautioning him always to be prepared for death. The missives ] are usually brought to his room at midnight, and the messengers beat a hasty retreat after leaving them. A few days since he had a former employe arrested on suspicion of being the writer, but there seems to be no evidence against him. WAGES IN AUSTRALIA.—According -to the latest report from Melbourne,the rate of wages throughout Australia is hours, two dollars.and fifty cents ; joiners, three dollars to three dollars and fifty cents; founders, three dollars to three dollars and fifty cents ; plumbers, mechanics and engineers, three dollars . ocoupation. Intemperance_ is the sup-} to three dollars and fifty cents ; labor ers one dollar and seventy cents to two dollars. The necessaries of life cost much, less than in Europe: Bread, per pound, three anda half cents; meat: from seven to ten cents; mutton, four to nine cents; butter, twenty cents cheese, eleven to twenty-five cents. Tae Fat. Exvecrions.—The Republicans have carried Maine by a majority of 8,875, for Governor, and an average majority ef 10,000 on the Congressional ticket. This is doing pretty well on a total vote of less than 100,000. Indiana will be the next State heard from, and we have no doubt but that Colfax’s State will give a good account of herself. The Indiana election takes place on the 2d of October ; Florida and Mississippi follow on the 8d; and Iowa on the 11th ; West Virginia on the 27th ; Missouri,.Minnesota, Louisiana, Kansas and Deleware on the Ist of November; New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin on the 8th. ae ‘Some time since a duel was considered imminent between Kelley, editor of the Louisville Commercial (Rep.) and Burbidge, the difficulty growing out of political causes. --A Kentucky paper describes the combatants as follows: “Kelley is a man of pluck, a scholar and a gentleman. Burbidge has shot a great many men in his day; but if our recollection serves us aright, he used to take the precaution of tying their hands. behind their backs first, putting a, handkerchief over their eyes, and ordering somebody else to pull the trigger.” THe Reason or It.— The New York Hoering Post explains the mystery of Horace Greeley’s defeat in the late Republican State Convention for the gubernatorial nomination. Other explanations have attributed it to a different cause. The Post says it was because the majority of the New York Republicans have become tariff re formers in opposition to Greeley’s high protection theory. The-same journal infers that these will be a revenue reform majority in the coming Congress, . and that Chamberlain’s re-election in Maine indicates the return of an aatiprotectionist te the Senate from that State.

The prompt humanity of these gallant fellows forms a striking contrast to the conduct of the British Government on the occasion. of the foundering of the U. 8. vessel Oneida, and the distinction is none the less marked when we remember that in the latter case the catastrophe was caused by an English commander. Tax bequest-hy Mr. Simmons, says the Alta, of property worth $1,400,000, to found a college in Boston to teach women “medicine, music, drawing, designing,telegraphing and other branchés of art, Stience and indiistry, best calculated to enable scholars to acquire an independent livelihood,” is one of the notable events of the age. It has two tendencies: one te encourage industrial education and the other to assist women in supporting themselvés by their labor; and both are most praiseworthy. ‘siete > Ir is reported from Spain that after Emperor of Germany, Bismarck intends to compensate the King of Saxony for the loss of his crown’ by making his Prim isa party to this arrangement. THe Rondeut Courier sums up the result of the lightning stroke at Kingston, N. ¥., as follows: Five persons killed instantly ; two: have since died from their injuries ; eighteen seriously injured but will recover, and about one hundred slightly shocked. THE inquest of the Coroner’s Jury in the Antioch poisoning case, resulted in a. verdict charging the crime upon Casper, the man at whose house ‘the poisoning occurred, and who represented his guest, Hyder, who died of poison. -It seems.from returns made to the U.S. Marshal that Tennessee is the healthiest State in the Union, and the most favorable to longevity. THE Sonota County Railroad is being pushed forward at the rate of a mile and half aday. At this rate it will very soon be in Santa Rosa.
