E es French authorities now admit that Marshal Bizaine has. been fighting the late battle on the west bank of the Moselle for the purpose of securing a pathway to Chalons. It ia no longer a question whether the flower of the French army can hold the line of the Moselle, for the point in dispute now is whe ther they can get away from it. Bazaine has consumed nearly a week in the effort to fall buck towards Verdun, without having made material progress in that direction. Although Le turns npon his pursuers, like a tiger at bay, and inflicts upon them terrible losses, new German corps arrive upon the scene of action to continue the protracted conflict, and to compel him to face indotnitable in vaders, instead of hurrying to the relief of the distracted capital in his rear. At Paris, yesterday, public confidence was partially restored by a report that Bazaine's efforts to secure his retreat had undoubtedly been successful, but this report was based on the alleged situation at the front on the ICth iaflt., whi'e later intelligence indicates that the fighting continued after that time, and that the fate of Bazaine's army is still uude cided. If the Prussians can destroy it, or cut off iti retreat, the great work of the whole campaign will be substantially finished, for no large body of regular troops will be left to oppose the triumphant march of the invaders to Paris. Bazaine's retreat is absolutely essential to France, and he is making exertions commen surate with the importance of his task. The immense losses of the Prussians bear testi mony to the valor of his troops; and even if the immediate result is disastrous, it cannot Le doutted that the French soldiers, despite a thousand disadvantages, have been fighting ai desperately as the bravest of their ances tors. Dispirited as they must be by the con sciousness that their boldest attacks can at the best only secure their own retreat, they struggle on day after day with a courage worthy of the legions of the first Napoleon, and if their valiant efforts fail, it will only be because success is impossible. If any confirmation of the importance of the Prussian successes were needed it would ba fully supplied by the condition of affairs at the French capital. M. Oilivier, the Minister who began the war, has fled to Italy, where Prince Napoleon has followed him, and it is alleged that the Empress has gone to Belgium. Such desertions can only be explained by a consciousness on the part of the fugitives that "bad begins and worse remains behind." Besides, the Corps Legis late is discussing propositions to concen trate in Paris all the food for miles around, and then lay waste the entire region in sight, ho that the near approach of the enemy is officially treated aa a highly probable contingency. General Trochu, lately entrusted with the organiza tion of the camp at Chalons, now figures as Commander-in-Chief of all the forces at Paris, and in his proclamation urging a sur render of all partisan feelings and the adop tion of "the demeanor of a great military nation conducting its oxen destinies" he plainly intimate the magnitude of the existing perila. He also paves the way for his own elevation to a commanding if not a supreme position by the tone of his address, and his declaration that he "belongs to no party save that of his country" indicates that he unites political sagacity with his acknowledged mili tary skill. Some such man is needed now to fill the gap that will be created by the im pending downfall of the Napoleonic dynasty, and if Trochu can pluck' the flower safety from the nettle danger, he will become the arbiter of the destinies of France. Peace negotiations are talked of, but it is doubtful whether Napoleon will retain a sem blance of power long enough to complete them. The nation which he plunged so reck lessly into a dangerous war can scarcely fail to secure, as a compensation for its misfortunes, Lis voluntary or enforced abandonment of the throne, and the contest may be speedily closed by his downfall and the payment of the war expenses incurred by Prussia. TllK EN GLI8II MISS ION. The New York World, always hard up for cause of complaint against the Presi dent, adduces Mr. Frelinghuysen's sup posed delay in making up his mind whether to accept the English mission or not as an evidence of the President's "singular apti tude for lowering the tone of the public ser vice and cheapening its highest offices in general estimation." This is a fair sample of the style of criticism on the President in which the leading Democratic journals of the country have indulged ever since his inaugu ration, and that they can find nothing more sarioui to allege against him ia a tolerably certain indication that he is managing the affairs of the nation in a reasonably satisfactory manner. The President could have found plenty of profes sional politicians who would have eagerly accepted the English mission if it had been offered to them; and leaving the question of Mr. Frelinghuysen's qualifications out of consider ation altogether, the efiort of the President to find a suitable person for the post outside of the ring of politicians who make their bread and butter by holding office certainly Um a tendency to raise the tone of tii public ot rice, aad a man like Mr. FreUaghaysen, who can afford to deoline such an olTioe, would be more likely to do the nation credit at the English court than one who would display an eagerness to got it. The World also indulges in a fling at Mr. Frelinghuysen, and Bays that "his coquetting with an office of so much dignity and so much above his reason able expectations has an air of feebleness and vacillation which will not raise bim in public estimation. Had he promptly declined, the country would have recognized his modesty and good sense." This morning Mr. Freling huysen's letter declining the mission is pub lished, and is found to be dated July 27, or only five days after receiving the official notification of his appointment, and this delay was only that he might give the subject the respectful consideration that it deserved, as his mind was made tip before hand, and he had informed the President that he could not accept. Mr. Freling huysen does not state his reasons for declining this office, beyond the fact that his domestic relations and duties will not permit him to take it; but, whntever his reasons were, they concern nobody but himself, and it would be impertinent to inquire into them. That the fact of his declining the mission was not made public before was due to the desire of the President, for good aud suffi cient reasons of his own, to keep it a secret for the present. He probably feared that Sumner and Wilson would be after him to give the appointment to one of their personal friends who would not cheapen the office by hesitating about its acceptance ; and although the present unsettled condition of the English mission is unsatisfactory, the blame is due rather to the demoralization of the civil service, which dates from the time when the Democratic President Jackson made "rotation in office" the practice of the Government, rather than to President Grant, who has earnestly if not altogether effectually attempted to bring about a reform. If the fact of Mr. Frelinghuysen having declined had been announced the President would have been pestered all summer by politicians and their friends to give the English mission as a reward for party services, whereas he has now been able to look about him for a man of his own choice; and although he is as likely to make a mistake as any one, the chances are more in favor of the proper per son being sent out as the successor of Mr. Motley than if the public had been taken into the confidence of the administration. THE MIDNIGHT MISSION. The most difficult problem that Christian philanthropy has to deal with is what is eu phuistically termed the "social evil." It is almost impossible for the laws to take cogni zance of it or to adopt any measure for bring ing it under supervision without legalizing an iniquity that saps the very foundation of society. It is difficult to even discuss the sub ject publicly in such a manner as is neces sary for a proper understanding of it or for the adoption of efficient measures of re form, and pure men and women have an in stinctive aversion to being brought in con tact with it in any way. Another com plication is in the aversion shown by society to woman who have fallen from virtue, so that, even if disposed to reform, they find themselves baffled and thrown back upon their old mode of life almost at the first attempt to rise out of the depths of sin and infamy; and the very small results that will be achieved by large expen ditures of money and by much patient labor is a discouragement to many who prefer to give their time and money to objects of a more promising character. Notwithstanding the enormous difficulties that environ this subject, and the manifold discouragements that must attend any efforts to restrain a gigantic evil, it is the manifest duty of good men and women to assail it resolutely, boldly, and per severingly, but with all the delicacy that the peculiarities of the case demand, and it is with a view of exciting the interest of the respectable people of Philadelphia to the efforts of a few self-sacrificing ladies and gen tlemen for the reformation of the fallen women in our midst that we call attention to the Midnight Mission, which has been in operation somewhat over two years, at a house on Locust street, above Ninth. The mission has the following objects in view: "1. To preach the Gospel to a class numbering: several thousand In our city, a class never round la our churches, unreached by other missionary ser vices. "2. To open a Home in the midst of the haunts of Bin, a Christian Home, ever standing ready to wel come the lost ever saying by Its presence, 'Keturn.' "3. To make that Home, with Its quiet, gentle, cheerful Influences, not an asylum where numbers should congregate and stay, but where a lew at a time might be shielded from temptation for awhile, strengthened, tested, aud after due proba tion, placed out In Christian families In places where their past was not known against them, and where, respected by others, they might begin to respect themselves, and thus have a new start in life." What has been accomplished by this mis sion since its inception is little, very little indeed, in comparison with the magnitude of its field of labor, but still enough has been done to encourage perseverance and to secure for the mission the cordial co-operation of our citizens without distinction of sect or re ligious belief. During the year 18G!) one hundred meetings were held, the ave rage attendance at which was eight. The number of women admitted to the Home was 70, and the average number of inmates was VI. Of these 22 left to return to their former mode of life, 4 were restored to their parents, J10 were placed o.ut, and 17 inmates of the Home. Since the mission was organized 20 meetings were held at which the average attendance was 10 and the aggregate attendance over 1000; the average number in the House was 12 and the aggregate number 2M. Of these 75 were placed out in families, 2 restored to pareats and 1(H) returned to their old life. The prac tical results, therefore, of the two years work of the mission were 100 women restored to the path of virtue, while upwards of lOOOhave been brought under influences that may pro duce beneficial results in the future. The work undertaken bv the midnight iuibMuu is distinct from thai of tUd MagJaiou and P.csine Association and the lljuae of tho Good Shepherd and its nature can best be ex plained by the following summary of opera tions during the year from the second annual report: "Meetings have been held on Thurday evenlnjrs at It o'clock also, on Sunday evenings. The attend ance has not been as large as during the first rear. TtilB Is ensily accounted lor. The novelty DM worn off, the hostility of those whose Interests have been crossed by our effort has been exerted in many ways to deter the girls from attending. At one time scarcely any girls were to be met upon the streets on Thursday evening. We changed our night of meeting and thus foiled this strategy. The supersti tious feelings of the girls have been played upon ; ao that many times our cards of Invitation are re fused because they bring 'bad luck.' Thea, too, our hands have been tied by the want of helpers. In all thla great city not enough gentlemen have come forward to give to this effort at undoing the ruin man has wrought, any fair chance of success. However each week the Gos pel Iibs been preached to some of the lout, aud it Is a satisfaction to And that those seek ing onr Home this year have come purely of their own accord during the day time; doubtless, often led by the Influences exerted In the meetings, but still coming under no persuasions of the moment. J he Home has been well Oiled nearly nil the time. Under the efficient matronshlp of Mrs. Phopoe Brooks, the domestic economy has been most satis factory, and a marked Improvement is manifest In the order and spirit of the household. The occupa tions of each day are well systematized. The sewing room baa begun to make some return to the girls and to the Home. The work of the household has been done by the girls, thus saving considerable expense and giving practical training In domestic duties. Almost each day some one or the lady managers visits the Horns to read to tne girls or assist in their instruction. The General Superintendent has also vlsted it each day, conductiug family prayers. A Bible class has been held each Sunday morning; a prayer meeting on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and occasionally ser mons by clergymen of different deuominattons have been preached to the family. During a good part of the year the services of an assistant matron were employed, In order that a qualified directress might always be with the girls in their sewing hours, to train them to the skilful use of the needle and the machine. At times there have been evidences of religtoiiB Interest, and we trust not without some permanent effects.'' With regard to the amount of work accom plished, the report Btates that "the percentage of genuine reformation will bear favorable comparison with that of any difficult reform ing work," and even if less had been accom plished than the above figures show, this mission would still be entitled to the cordial support of the public. The Midnight Mission must be supported by the public if it is to continue. At the end of 18(!! it was $500 in debt, and the lowest estimate for the neces sities of the present year was $2.00. This is a very small amount for a great city like this to raise for the support of such an object. Last year New York gave upwards of $10,000 to the Midnight Mission, besides sustaining one or two similar institutions and several Mcgdelen Asylums, and there certainly ought to be no difficulty in furnish ing the mission in this city with all the funds it may require. We have called the attention of our readers to the claim of the Midnight Mission, with the hope that liberal pecuniary and other aid will be extended to it. It should be remembered that it is con ducted entirely upon an unsectarian basis, se that its appeals are made to all whose hearts may be moved to aid in restraining the spread of vice and in encouraging those who have gone astray to turn from the ways of sin tnd lend decent and respectable lives. The Secretary and Treasurer of the Midnight Mission is Samuel S. Corey, Esq., No. o32 South Seventeenth street, to wham all contri butions may be sent. REL.ICIOUS NOTICES.

The Perfection of the Art of Refining Whiskies. P. HEVh'ER, Sols Piopiietor, for the State of Pennsylvania, of the CELEBRATED "P. P." WHISKIES, Nos. 246 S. FRONT and 117 DOCK St., Phlla. It has been clearly demonstrated that all Liquors distilled by the ordinary methods contain a very largo percentage of impurities; the degree of heat that must necessarily be em ployed, decomposing, disengaging and vaporizing all the banefnl elements and noxious gases contained in the mash, which when condensed form the deleterious f nsel oil so detri mental to life and health; but, when indulged in to excess, the result is Brain Fever De lirium Iremens, Apoplexy, Insanity, etc. Consequently Liquors, as ordinarily distilled are apt, even when only used sparingly as a stimulant, to create Nautea, Hick Headache' In flammation, and Kidney Diseases. The "P. P." Whiskies, on the contrary, "stimulate and cheer" without unduly exciting the brain or injuring the coats of the stomach. They are distilled from the choicest product of the Cereals in tacnto, the pressure of the atmosphere being reduced from 15 lbs. . to 2 lbs. to the square inch; consequently a temperature of only about l0 degrees of heat' is re quired in the operation, The procesa is entirely mechanical, no ACIDS, CHARCOAL ESSENCES, EXTRACTS, DRUGS OH CHEMICALS OF ANY DESCRIPTION BEING USED hence the "P. P." Whiskies are not only delicate in flavor, but pure, wholesome, and innocuous as a beverage, retaining in simple purity the flavor of the cereals from which they were distilled. The "P. P." Whiskies have been tested by some of the most eminent of the Medical Faculty, by Analytical Chemists, and by the best judges of Liquors in the United States, and pronounced jierfectly pure and wholesome, and especially desirable for Family use and Medical pviposcs. Members of the medical faculty, the trade, and the publio generally are cordially invited to call and inspect the machinery and process, and examine the liquors and the impurities iDi iru, ai iuo iicuucijf buu iiuriuvuin,iivo. .tu uuniu f xV7x i. and 114 UUUJV otrOOt This is the only process in operation in the State of Pennsylvania for reflninw whiskies' in 'racevo. 7 80stuth4ptf p HEVNETt EXCURSIONS.
