THE DEMOCRATIC rAUTY AND TlIC WAR. IVom eke Ai T. World. Drowning men catch at straws. The radi. cal of the United States, conscious that npoa every vital cinostion concerning the interest, the hoi a, or the honor of the American peo ple they have lost all title to the confidence of the nation, made haste, upon the outbreak of the dreadful war which now desolates Knrope, to clutch at the chance of buoying themselves tip yet a little longer abjvethe wares of the deluge by proclaiming a mid den and passionate sympathy with one of the two yreat nationalities involved in that war. It wan a monstrous proclamation from lips yet warm with denouncing all that the Germaus of the United States held dearest or most sacred. The liberal GermanR of America have been denied by these radicals all the social rights which they so highly, yet not too highly, prize. They have been subjected by a fanati cal majority to tho most tyrannical restric tions tipon their personal habits. Their ivsthetio tastes have been denounced by the Puritans an an abomination, and their love of harmless recreation npon the only day left at their disposal by that industry and devotion to duty which are suoh honorable character istics of their race, has been anathematized m both licentious and impious. The Catholic Hermans of America, on the other hand, have fared no better at the . bunds J of these radical makers of mischief. In common with their fellow-believers of all other nations, this great section of our German fellow-citizens has been openly and persihtently insulted by radical attempts to infuse tho spirit of Protestant sectarianism into our laws. When, therefore, these same radicals suddenly announced themselves to be more Teutonio than the Teutons, and began in their journals and their party cau cuses to halloo the armies of King Wil liam upon their formidable way, it . mast Lave been tolerably plain to the most simple-minded Swabian or the most newly landed Tomeronian in the land that his personal services at the polls were more clearly in the vision of these extempo rized lovers of his land than either the honor of the Teutonic arms or the hopes of German nationality. What the folly of the radicals has thus revealed of the true nature and meaning of their German sympathies, tho good sense and the reticence of the Democratic party have by mere force of contrast made tenfold plainer. The Democratic party has taken no sides in this European war; nor will it take any sides in this European war until, high above the tumult of battle and the roar of cannon, and the lamentable outcry' of strong men stricken to death .and the wail of the count lees poor in desolated homes, there shall arise that one only clarion note which ronsea the Democratic heart the note of freedom summoning the people to possess their own. The radicals of America are to day the party of place, of expediency, and of corruption. The Democrats of America are to-day the party of principle, of convic tion, and of reform. What the Deuioorat of America seek for their own count ry, that also, and that alone, oau they seek for all other countries. In the existing European war, and in all other wars, the Democrats of America can never sympathize with war sim ply as war; for war simply as war they hold everywhere and always to be a deplorable and criminal thing. They hale, it as a condemna tion of the millions to misery and death for the aggrandizement of the few, when it is not tho terrible necessity of the millions emancipating themselves from the despotism of the few. "When the news came to Rerlin," wrote Humboldt to his noble friend Varuha- gen, "of the Tarisian coup if (tat, the King . and the Court were at first full of rejoicing. ! Thefe persons saw nothing offensive in the crime perpetrated against the people, the Legislature, the law, and the sanctity of oaths. Hut when the machinery came to be known, that the adventurer should preserve universal suffrage, rest upon the people, and practise socialism, that quickly made them detest him." Humboldt Bleeps beneath the simple monument at Tegel, where but the other day the King who now leads German armies in the field refused to unite with the Germans of America asd of Europe in honoring his immortal me aiory. But his words live, aud those words made men ask themselves whether the King of Prussia, using the national indignation of Germany to strike down the Emperor of the French, was really bent on humbling the ad versary of the Germans or on punishing the elect of the French. Bo far as the French Emperor was concerned, the first events of the war made an answer to this grave ques tion unnecessary. The unexpected and ter rible defeats of the French army de livered France, as it were, in a day from the spell of C; sarism. The German vic tories which demonstrated the impotence of an imperial system for the defense of a great country, were victories in which Demo crats of all countries might rejoice with that tempered joy which alone freemen can ever feel in the winning even of the greatest boons by the slaughter of brave men and the destruction of the works of human intelligence and human labor. lint the imperial system once shattered in France, it becomes not less important to assure our selves what are to be tha results npon Ger many and upon Europe of the victories by which it has been destroyed. Upon this point all true Democrats in America, of whatever race, must necessarily insist npon satisfying themselves before they can throw themselvoa blindly, with shouts of triumph, into the wake of the Prussian advance. The deep sympathy which even true German Demo crat: must feel with the heroic history of liberty ia. France, not less than their pro- foand conviction of the absolute necessity of justice and generosity in the international re lations of the European peoples to the esta blishment of freedom in Europe, must make all suoh Democrats cautious and wary in their observation of the policy of the Govern ments, rather than gushing and enthusiastic in their exultation over the gallantry of the armies of Germany at this great crisis in the fate of the continent. German radi cals, like American radicals, abandoned to the worship of power, may believe centralization and military force in the Old World, as they do in the New, to be the one suftijieut mean of national greatness and glory, Rut Ger man Democrats, like Americau Democrats, will hold that there is a nobler and a better way both to national greatness and to national glory. And German Domoarats, therefore, like Americau Democrats, while they recognize a great and a real progress as achieved in tho abnegation of Jw-rI barriers to the haruiiiivui inter- comae of the United States of Germany, will cste&m that progress neither complete nor secure if it is to l bought by the setting Tip of other barriers to tha harmonious inter course of the United Statts of Europe. The "symrathy" which the radicals of America offer in pawn for their votes to our German fellow-citizens, is a sympathy in the passions and the hates which make a people tyrants abroad by making them slaves at home. The sympathy which the Democrats of America give not to Germany alone but to Franoe, is a frympathy In that lovo of liberty and of justice which makes a people honored abroad by making them free at Home. BALLOONS IN WAHFAKE. From the A'. F. Time. The Prussian Government, it eetu. ha engaged the services of Wells, the Sootch aeronaut, to conduct aerial observations of the French naval movements upon tha Prus sian coast This is not the first time balloons have been used for military purposes, but it will be surprising if thev are the means of giviDg information of any contemplated movements of the French fleet. In watching an enemy, a moderately elevated observing station is highly desirable, but the only sure way of regulating the altitude of a balloon, so far discovered, seems to be by means of a rope anchored to the earth. Aeronauts of course claim that they can ascend a certain distance, and then sail in any direction they please, arising and descending at will; but they seldom attain such facility in managing their air vessels when their ability to do so is put to a practical test. There seetns to be little doubt that the atmosphere is divided into several zoDes. in which the prevailing currents have for the most part a constant direction, so that by rising to one or other of these strata, the navigator of the air can be almost as certain of the point of tne com pass toward which he will be blown as the navigator of the sea who onoouuters the trade winds. But while it is quite possible that a bal loon may be made to pass over an enemy's fleet or encampment, it is by no moans 'cer tain that the observer, thus elevated, will not be so far above what he wishes to observe as to be able to gain little accurate infor mation. A large balloon looks quite small w hen seen at any considerable height, and obi eels on the eiirth must seem correspond ingly reduced to the vision of a man who sees them from the basket ot such a balloon. If, on the other hand, the balloon can be made to float so low that men and aninnls are clearly discernible, it at once becomes a target for the hostile rockets, and the position of the daring balloonist is precarious in the extreme. When General McClcllan com menced Lis celebrated Peninsular campaign. Professor Lowe accompanied the army with a train and several balloons. Many ascensions were made, but the commanding officer did not ascertain anything very valuable by their means. General Fitz John Porter made an ascension on one occasion, when, the balloon being loose, it floated over Yorktown, to the great consternation ot the Oeneral s com mand. He fortndatelv succeeded in making his descent within our own lines. While, however, balloons were of very little practical value to our armies during the Rebellion, the officers and men of the Signal Corps rendered most valuable service, and wero often the means of discovering the con templated movements of the enemy. The Signal Corps were fully supplied with field- glasses and telescopes of considerable power, and as their stations were always located in soma lofty tree, or upon oome elevated rock or mountain top, they were able to scan the country for miles around, lhey were in con stant communication, either by flag or mes sengers, with army headquarters, so that what they saw was at once transmitted to the commanding officer. This would have been difficult if a balloon had been the observing station. Our signal officers were constantly available in directing the movements of troops; and on several occasions, wben the gun-boats were co-operating with our land forces, the fire of the former was reculated in accordance with messages transmitted by rings from signal stations on land. The Prus sians may find balloon ascensions more valua ble than we did, but for war purposes we esteem one good signal omcer worth a dozen aeronauts. King William might gain some valuable hints on this subject from Lieuten- ant-Oeneral Sheridan. Many of our volun teers who were in the Signal Corp!) were Ger mans, and would doubtless be glad to serve their Fatherland in a similar capacity. If the Prussians want trust worthy information, they are not likely to find better men for obtain ing it than some of their own nationality who served in our armies. THE TERRIBLE CONFLICT AT SEDAN. From the S. T. Tribune. What MacMahon might have accomplished in aid of Bazaine if he had reached the vici nity of Metz, will always remain a matter of speculation. His enterprise in that direction has been completely frustrated. Bazaine's demonstration in support of it by a sortie at Metz has signally failed, and efter suffering defeat in a series of bloody engagements he in shnt closer than ever in the fortress, with out the slightest hope of relief. MacMahon was detected by his vigilant enemy in his movement from Rethel to Montuiedy. Struck ia flank while upon the maroh and astride a wide and navigable river, he has been forced to surrender. Fortunately for the I rench Marshal, his various lines of retreat naturally converged at Sedan; else, with his army separated by the Meuse, he mnst inevitably have been destroyed. But bis several columns, retreating on no fixed or deliberate plan, were concentrated at Sedan, and were thus enabled to resume the battle. No less than eight different engagements have been fought since the morning of Aug. ;',0, w hen the opposing armies first encountered eaoh other. The French were moving from Bethel to Uontmedy, by two parallel roads, apparently unsuspicious of the approach of the Prussians. While MacMahon moved from west to east, the Prussians advanced from Bouth to north, and thus caught him at a dis advantage. The first combats minor affairs at Attigny, Vrezy, and Nouart on August i0 forced the rear ball or Aiacaucon s army from one of its lines of march back npon the other at Stoune and Beaumont, where, later in the day. the French were again attacked and beaten. At the same time the front half or advance of MacMahon east of the Meuse was struck in flank between Stenay and Montmedy and driven back to Carignan, Here, later in the day, the French were again beaten. During the night of August :0 both wines of the 1 ranch retreated udou Sedan, On August 31 the Prussians advanoed to wards Sedan, and soon attacked the French, not yet across the Meuse, and still separated by it. The Crown Prince of Prussia, attack ing the half west of the Meuse, wa evidently severely beaten in a combat which lasted durinc the forenoon. HU losses were so severe that he was compelled to retire to wards Mouzon; but it was only to refoim and prepare for another attack. This is the yLIliy f whi;li li? FrjacU imi uiilj zxul proclamation. MacMahon evidently did not think it decisive not even a signal advantage, for while the Crown Prince was restoring bis broken and bruised line, he hastily moved Lis army to the north side of the Meuse and once more united it, not at Montmedy for offense against Prinog Carl, but at Sedan for defense against his old opponent Prince Iritz. What part the Crown Prince of Saxony on the east bank of the Meuse tosk in this engagement is not deomtelr stated in the despatches Keorg&fnzed during the afternoon of the ."1st ult., tho German advanced again te the attack on September 1. The report of the battle on this day are conflicting, but all ac counts unite in saving it was disastrous to the I rench. The accounts from Belgium which report MacMahon retreating on Sep tember 1 to Mezieres, and that 10,000 French have surrendered to the Belgians, are not to be fully credited, lbe oflioial report of Kin? William claims nothing of the kind. but he says the French were driven into Sedan. That they did not retreat on the 1st is evident, from the fact that they fought a desperate fioht on irulay. The Prussian right wing advanced on the 1st to Givonue, a suburban village of Sednu, only a mile or two northeast of it. Whether this ad vantage was maintained on Friday is not now known. All that is known positive!? of the fight of Friday is that it began at day break, ana that maille, Villers, Renaly, Sere ay, and Rallai -oil suburban towns of edan were already in flames, having been lired by the artillery engaged in the contact. HIE RECONSTRUCTION OF EUROPE- THE KINGS OR THE PEOPLES. From the A. F. Herald. The republican journals of Spain, reflecting tne universal sentiment ot tue republican party of the Peninsula, are rejoicing over tho news of the German victories in franco a) foreshadowing the certain downfall of Napo leon and bis empire, and the revival of the French republic So much for the interfer ence of Napoleon with General rriin s nomi nation of a German prince for the throne of Spain. The Spaniards have seen from the course of Napolepn upon this question that he assumed the role of his uncle not only in regard to the Rhine, Italy, and the Pope, but in that other Napoleonic ides, the reduction of Spain to a mero dependency of Franoa. It is probable that General Prim was inspired by Count Bismarck in nominating a llohen zollern for the Spanish throne in view of this very war which has followed between Napo leon and Prussia; but it is probable also that Prim anticipated through this movement a release from France and full liberty to Spain not only to name the chief but the form of her Government as an independent btate. We presume that all parties in Spain, of the Bourbons and the anti-Bourbon monarch ists, as well as the republicans, will rejoice at the downfall of the Bonapartes. The Bour bons in Spain have little to hope for with the maintenance of the French empire. They may be reinstated, in the event of peace between France aud Prussia. The Spanish republicans, however, in laoking for a French republic with the displacement of the empire. have good reason to hope that the next result from Napoleon's overthrow will be a republic in Spam, llence the popular excitement all over that country that become so demonstra tive that the republican directory had deemed it expedient to issue a manifesto counselling patience ana moderation; and warning the party that one false step may compromise them and endanger the country. This means that if the Spanish republicans are too preci pitate they may alarm the European dynasties and bring them together in the work of restoring peace upon the basis of their cjdi- mon protection against the republican ele ments, even in Spain. The scheme of peace which is now supposed to be under consideration by the govern ments of England, Prussia, Russia, Austria and Italy embraces the restoration of the Orleanists to the throne of France, the estab lishment of a German empire under the King of rrussia, and the abolition of all engage ments entered into between the imperor Napoleon and King Victor Emanuel involving any further cessions of Italian territory to France in exchange for the States of the Church. In the Church organ at Rome the following has been recently published as an understanding arranged between Napoleon and bis protege, Mctor i-manuol: I he appropriation and occupation of the Papal States and the city of Rome as her oapital by Italy; the cession by Italy, as an equivalent to France, of the island of Sardinia, and the removal of the Pope and his headquarters to the occupation ana possession of that island, under the protection of France. This soheme of satisfying Italy, and compensating r ranee, while providing for the Holy Father of Rome, looks so plausible and so Napoleonic that we are inclined to think there may be something in it. It is certain, at all events, that, with the removal of Napoleon, Italy, except as a republic, with France as a republic, will be made independent of any further nursing or instructions from France, whatever may be the disposition made or the rope. In the general reconstruction of European affairs which is sure to follow this momentous war. whether tb.ii work of reconstruction is to be under the direction of the dynasties or the peoples of Europe, will depend very much upon the reconstruction of France. Then may follow a general republican rising over the Continent, which win displace the schemes of the dynasties. In short, a speedy settle ment of this war in a crowning Buocess to the Prussian arms is the only hope for a quiet reconstruction of Europe by the Kings.
