. THE WAR NEWS.
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.

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
