Day for the Evening Telegraph WILL "THE MIRACLE OF 1792" REPEAT ITSELF ? From the AT. 1". Nation. In tbe Bunimer of 1792 France was partly invaded and partly threatened by armies of an extensive coalition. Prussia and Austria were marching against her; the Empire and the King of Sardinia -were ready to join the in; Spain, Rome, and Naples were expected to follow snit; Russia promised aid to the invaders; the English Parliament rang with thundering appeals against the invaded. In one word, the whole of Europe seemed, to enter upon a crusade against an isolated state, and that a state convulsed and ' shaken to its very foundations by an unparalleled revolution, a state whose ruler was a captive in his' own "blood-deluged capital," whose army was demoralized and half-disbanded, and whose legislature was dictated to by frenzied mobs. Revolutionary Franoe seemed to be lost, her leaders doomed to terrible vengeance. But.. revolutionary . Prance, in stead of sinking upon hor knees before Eu rope in arms, .only redoubled the inner fury which seemed to consume her, and by dint of that fury drove the foe beyond the frontier, and carried war, convulsion, and freedom into the lands of the invaders. The world was as tounded by this extraordinary phenomenon, and even posterity calls it still "the miracle of 1792." And at the time of our writing, seeing France again invaded, convulsed, and menaced in her integrity and with but slight chances of an ordinary escape from the ter rible consequences of folly and disaster, the observer, led by a more or less sympathetic curiosity, anxiously asks himself and history, Is there much probability of the miracle of 1792 repeating itself? Can France; the en snared giant, once more arise like a Samson, and by one grand exertion Bhake off the foes? The answer of history, if studied with candor in connection with the present, is we must state it sadly discouraging to the friend of France, and that on various grounds. First, the invasion of 1792, compared with the one which last month laid low the armies of Napoleon III, was far from being in any degree powerful, in spite of the vast dimen sions it apparently assumed. The armies sent against France were neither numerous nor brought up in the school of victory; their movements were slow and vacillating; their oommanders pedantic or imbecile followers of an old traditional strategy, which became entirely worthless when the genius of revolu tion created its own in the French camps; the monarchies which sent them were as hostile to each other as they were to the common enemy. And is it necessary, in order to show the vast difference between the invasion of 1792 and that of 1870, to draw parallels between that tool of charlatans and mistresses, Fre derick William II,' and William I; between the Prince of Ooburg and Moltke; between Lucchesini and Bismark; or between Valmy and Jemappes and Qravelotte and Sedan? And then, in fighting the ill-commanded, scattered, and disunited forces of the then degenerate, womanish, and generally priest- ridden courts of Vienna, Berlin, Turin, and Madrid, revolutionary t ranoe drew her cou rage, inspiration, and boldness not only from her first almost unexpected military successes, but from deeper and mightier souroes These were the necessity of conquering or perishing, of destroying or being destroyed; the fanaticism of new ideas, more powerful than any that had ever agitated Europe, ideas which acted with the magic of a world regenerating revelation; the intoxication with which the recent victories, in the name of equality and fraternity, over caste, the throne, and the altar had hued the masses of the self' disfranchised people; the concentrated power of volcanic forces which an all-crushing terrorism knew how to elicit from the scat tered members of a nation suddenly aroused to terrible self-consciousness; and, finally. tbe certainty of meeting with allies burning with equal passions wherever a breach could be made in the ramparts or eliete tyranny. At the moment wnen x erainand or Uruns wick began his retreat, retiring like a lamb after having roared like a lion, the conven tion met, and deoreed a new era for Prance and the world. France believed in it, and her hosts carried their faith triumphantly far beyond her borders, as the followers of Islam had carried theirs from Mecca to the Pyre nees. Now all these sources of inspiration and success are wanting to the menaced France of to-day. bhe has not only to fight weli-or ganized and well-led armies, flushed with pa- triotis enthusiasm and the pride of wonted victory; she has mot only met with crushing ana numuiing reverses at tne very opening of the contest; but, what is worse, Bhe is devoid of even a spark of that fanaticism wmcn saveu ner in 1 1 j.', ana maae I'aris a world- shaking volcano in the following years. bhe entered tne lists with a bad con science, and debauched and enervated by twenty yeara of the most degrading of tyran nies, and mat a tyranny based on mere materialism, and accepted from political apa- tny ana cynical unbeuei in ideas; and she has now. in this supreme crisis, no other moral resource to fall back upon but ordinary pa triotism, a sentiment capable of great sacri. noes, but not of miracles. The grand ideas which by turns inspired or agitated France after uo'J have all sadly spent their foroe. The republio, instead of founding fraternity ana ireeaom, lea, in ine nrst instance. through the massaores of Paris, the noyades of Nantes, the mitraillades of Lyons, and the liKe, to tne lotn urumaire; in the seoond. through the 10th of Deoember, 1818, and the 2d of December, 1851, to the ignominious sen-abdication or tbe sovereign people in 1852. Bonapartism that is, "la Gloire" ended, in the first instance, after the sacri rice by France of millions of her sons to that Idol, with tbe surrender of Paris and the captivity of St. Helena; and, in the second. with the more humiliating surrender at Sedan and the farcical captivity at Wilhelmshohe. Revived Bourbon legitimism killed itself, in J my, is ou, by its own Btupidity. Urleanism, which replaced it, showed its inherent want of vitality by being swept away uy m uugui revolutionary uiast, in a ebruary, 1818. Socialism made itself hateful bv lead. ing to the carnage of June, 1818, in which it was stilled; and universal suffrage lost all its sanctity by sanctioning every act and demand of triumphant usurpation. And, to make the case worse, while France is without faith and without enthusiasm, tbe enthusiasm of her roes, tne uermans, and their proud belief in meir own intellectual and muitarv suDeri oiity, have risen to a pitch never before reached, and are productive of astounding displays of energy. At the moment, too, when France has to make her supreme effort, her organism, m of late constituted, finds itself almost fatally da ranged, not to say destroyed. Paris, which has beoonie bothher head and heart, is, so to say, severed from the trunk of the country, and its other disjointed members, from which the effort is expected, are left palpi tating, but without sufficient lire or tneir own. This condition is owing to the stupen dous centralization which the revolution cre ated, the first empire developed, and all sub sequent reigns strengthened, ana wmcn, radically transforming the organism of the nation. has finally almost entirely drained the provinoes of brains, im pulse, and self-directing power. All autho ritymilitary, judicial, or administrative all political or intellectual leadership all higher talent, in whatever branch of mental activity has been turned into that one grand reservoir. Paris. All Drencn men or emi nence in the ruling spheres of national life are Parisians by education or in consequence of their publio career. The country is accus tomed to receive from that all-directing centre its administration, its guidance, its convictions, its intelligence, its impulses, its very life-blood. All this, again, was vastly different at the time when revolutionary France was invaded and menaced. There were life, independent vitality, and animation in all her limbs, and the common focus, Paris, served to unite and regulate the national roroes without anywhere exhausting them. Nay, Paris at that time received its inspiration, its greatest intelligence, its violent impulses, in main part, from the country, which teemed with talent and passion. Ine first armed re sistance to the absolutism of Louis XVI came from Dauphine and Bretagne. Provenoe sent to Paris the most powerful orator of the time, Mirabeau, and the almost equally eloquent Girondists, Isnard and Barbaroux. verg- niaud, Guadet, and Gensonne, the fore most leaders of the Girondist party, came from the department from which it derived its name; their able and noble hearted associate, Lanjuinais, from Rennes; Buzot, from Evreux; Petion, from Chartres; Roland, from Lyons. Bretons formed the club out of which that of the Jacobins was developed, and the most terrible of terror ists, Barere,' .Merlin de Thionville, Billaud Varennes, 1 abre d Eglantine, and Robes pierre himself, with his two nearest asso ciates, tot.

Patriotic enduranoe, blunders on the part of Prussia, and the intervention of disease or of foreign powers, may still restore France in her integrity; but salvation through a repetition or "tne miracle or 1792 seems to us as little possible as salvation through tne appearance or anotner Joan a Are. FORSYTH ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS. From the X. Y. Tribune. There are few things which are easier to write about and more difficult to comprehend than French politics. There are not a great many in this or any other country competent to thread this maze of promise and failure, of paradox and catastrophe, of hope and despair: but one or tbese select persons is undoubt edly Mr. John Porsytb, who is the editor of the Mobile liegmer, a column of whose ob servations upon "France is now before us Mr. Forsyth is a man who, during the aotual Rebellion, was not specially in the publio eye; nor did we ever hear of his killing and eating anybody during those truculent and hungry times. But now that Secession can relieve its mind upon a peaoe basis, there is not a more savage Secessionist in all the South than editor UorsyUi, nor any newspaper man whose ink is more like blood, or whose pen . is more like a sword. This evidently is one of those gentlemen who are heroes in tbe abstract, and do marvellous execution by a cannonade of tbe lungs .English. Thus Mr. Forsyth speaks with exquisite felicity of "condensing the essence of events into what Sohlegel first had the happy thought of naming 'The Phi losophy of History."' "Condensing" an "essence gives one an idea or some fiuid of extraordinary power; but this is the first time we ever heard that Sohlegel was the first to speak of "The Philosophy of History. Bolingbroke long before Schlegel spoke of history as "Philosophy teaching by example, but then his Lordship could never have re ferred to history as illustrated by such a writer as Mr. John Porsyth a poor gentle man who is as feeble in thought as he is flabby in expression. "The present abjeot 'condi tion or franco has filled tbe bosom of Mr. John with 'profound sorrow.' " He informs us (now tbe reader is about to be treated t3 a bit of his style) that the "seoond Emperor of France has been led to the rock of destruction on which the first had been wrecked," and moreover that "the wind of revolution has hurled him back within its destroying vor tex" which we call remarkably good writing oi me Kina, l. e., or tne fiercely flabby kind. The Philosopher of Mobile, we must confess. is not so calm as might be desirable we might. indeed, consider him to be in a passion when he tells us (in speaking of a respectable old man, well known to the world as M. Victor Hugo), that he "has risen, like all rotten waus, on stormy waters; embittered bv exile and soured by age, he demands once more the realization of his monstrous dreams f license, which he impudently calls liberty." This is the way in which a gentleman writes who assured us, in the beginning of his essay, that he was about to treat us to fall draughts of the very purest "philosophy." We must say that it is a disappointment. Nor does it seem to as when Mr. Forsyth calls the French Republicans "vultures," and the Prussians "the descendants of the barbarians whom Attila led to the sack of Rome," that he says anything decisive of the result of the war. It is wrong, of course, for these Prussians to "thunder at the gate of the capital of arts, science, and re- nnement; but, upon the whole, we are dia posed to believe that thev would go on thundering," albeit fifty thousand copies of the Mobile Itegiater should be soattered through their ranks. They would Drove ob durate, we fear, despite this editor's choicest expressions. Mr. Forsyth is by no means pleased with tne way in wmcn tne rrussians make war, His complaint of them is that they are very destructive. "Their mission is not to erect. but to destroy," he cries as if he had detected them in tbe act of doing something exceed ingly dishonorable. "In less than sixty days." he plaintively remarks, "they have destroyed the finest army or civilized times. They came, it is true, from Prussia expressly to do tbat same tbing; and if Bonaparte had da stroyed them, we are rather curious to know vi hat would have been Mr. F.' opinion of tbe operation. At present, however, he will not be comforted. It la such a blasting and burn ing shame that these barbarians should get the better of "the finest army of civilized times." Very reprehensible ! bucb are the views of the gentleman in Mo bile. It is in this way that he "condenses tbe essence of events." It is from a lofty philosophical pedestal that 'he declares M. Hugo "step by step to have descended to the lowest degree of sooial and political infamy." t or one who announces himseir as "a Demo crat," and who has no condemnation for a lunatio conspiracy which sought the over throw of our own Government, and the sooial anarchy with which the Rebellion threatened tbe Republic, it strikes us that this person's affection for law and order, as petrified (we cannot say embodied) in the person of Bona parte', is somewhat hard to be understood. There can be no "Republicanism" in France redder than the pseudo-Republicanism which luo omveuuiuvrB iteutuuuu who aoi uiuub to promote. Do all good ex-slaveholders, even in their low estate, feel called upon to sing hosannahs to an ex-tyrant even in his low estate ? If so, let them sing. But, by all means, let them also find somebody who is a real, honest, rational Secessionist to lead the music, and not this humbug of a Mobile phi losopher. THE SUPPRESSION OF ELECTIONS. From the A'. T. World. It is claimed that the Republican parly has finally restored the Union by admitting to representation in Congress every Southern State. The falsity of this claim we propose to show byshowing that in no less than three of these States to wit, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas tbe Republican party has for bidden airy election for Representatives this fall. In Georgia the Republican Legislature passed on tbe 20th instant an act, drawn up by Attorney-uenerai Akerman, to alter the time of the fall elections from the 8th of No vember, the date fixed by the Constitution of that State, to the 20th, 21st, and 22d of De cember next; the plain intent of this act being to tide the election over till Congress .l..n I l - . . : i 1 1 i . . biiaii uh in session mis winter, so mat it tne exigencies of the party require such a step it may be stiu rartner postponed until Noveov ber, 1872. In Mississippi a curious trick is relied on by the Republican party to forbid an election lor representatives in Congress this fall. When General Ames, as district command ant, proclaimed certain persons elected in 1809 as tbe .Legislature of Mississippi, said persons kindly reciprocating, as will be re membered, by declaring General Ames United btates benator, he announced sundry soum as elected to the unexpired term of the Forty first Congress, and other scum to the full term of the Forty-second. By virtue of this latter certificate a certificate altogether in valid, since the Federal Constitution expressly ordains an election or representatives every second year it is declared that Mississippi is to have no Congressional election this fall; tbe idea being tbat it is better to have tbe full delegation of five Radicals elected in November, 18C9, than to have that delegation stand three Conservatives to two Radicals, as it assuredly weuld with an election in No vember, 1870. From Texas it was some time since an nounced, in a "Petition of the people of Texas to Congress to guarantee to the people a republican form of government," that the reconstructed State government meditated a denial this fall of a Congressional eleotion, by a railure on tbe part or the Legislature to enact the necessary legislation; and by latest advices we have it that that body has finally adjourned without taking any steps towards such legislation. The consequenoe is that there will be no election for Representatives in Congress in Texas this fall. In is an nounced that the people, indignant at such disfranchisement, will hold an election of their own motion; but, as it is a foregone conclusion Congress will pay no attention to tbe credentials or any Representative so chosen, it may be set down as absolute that Texas is denied an election this fall. The net benefit to the Republican party of these several procedures is, first, a complete nullification of the danger of seven Demo cratic Congressmen coming up from Georgia this fall; second, a full -delegation of five radical members from Mississippi; and third, sucb a condition or abeyance in tbe Congres sional election in Texas as leaves said eleotion to wait the pleasure, or the necessities, of the party. In one form or another these advan tages are gained by a denial of those elections which the Constitution requires, which the Republican party promised, and on the popu lar impression that such elections will be held that party now banks. It becomes the duty of every Democratic press and speaker throughout the country to dispel that impres sion, and, in the light of the facts hereinbe fore stated, show that the Republican'party has disfranchised no less than three States, now that they are fully reconstructed, as co xpletely as it ever disfranchised them in the palmiest days of its bayonet reoonstruo- tion rule. THE PRUSSIAN LINE OF COMMUNI CATION. From the S. F. Herald. Now tbat King William has set down with his army to invest Paris, it becomes a matter of interest to inquire how his long communi cations are to be kept open. The siege may be a long one, for the French army inside is fighting in its last ditoh and hopes everything from time; and the fortifications of the city, even in the weakest point, are formidable enough to suggest the Blower mode of reduc ing them by mines and parallels approaches rather than the more precarious and bloody xiode of storm and bombardment. King William's army, therefore, if the siege is pro tracted, will require food, ammunition, cloth ing, medicines, and the other necessities of an army, and he must look to his communi cations for the means of supplying them. The mainline of communication open at present is the great Slrasburg Railroad. which runs from the Prussian camp at Paris to btrasburg, through Chalons, tfafUe-Due, Nancy, and Luneville to the Rhine, and which is held by tne Prussians almost throughout its entire route. At .nancy, nowever, it con nects with another railroad running northeast, through Metz and Saarbruck, into Prussia, and by connections to Coblentz and Mavenoe. At Metz the Prussians bave been busy build ing a branch road running round the fortress, so tbat there need be no breaking of bulk from the heart of Germany to the besieging army at rans. xnis is me route over which Kiss William transports tbe supplies for hia army, a distance of about two hundred and seventy miles, in tne enemy a country. So far we have heard of no determined efforts to cut off his supplies by breaking up this line. Prussian troops in strong detaoh ments from the besieging armies at Toul and Metz bold the important positions on the eastern end of the line, and other detach, ments, probably from the main army before ram, preserve tbe westerly portion intaot xnese are aouimcsa tmt to beat on any cavalry attack, inai may ue maae upon them, and are supplied 'liberally with material to repair the road where it Is damaged by their enemy. The Frenoh infantry cannot damage it materially, for it cannot be spared from the more important work of raising the siege in a force strong enough to hold the line for any length of time, and, as a stronger reason yet. for its security, King William would certainly make up any deficiency thus created in his supplies by levying only the more heavily upon the comparatively fresh country in which he is now operating. The long line of railroad communication which General Snerman kept open from Atlanta to Nash ville, and, in faot, to Louisville, was muoh more difficult to maintain than the present one maintained by King William. Sherman's line was longer; the country was infested with guerillas, of whom the rear of the Prus sian army seems to be singularly free; he was illy provided with material for repair ing the road; the country in which he ope rated had already been impoverished by the long war which it had undergone, and his army was dependent daily, almost hourly, on the supplies which came over this one single-track railroad. Yet it will be re membered how completely he kept this line intact. The trains which brought him provisions and supplies were not detained twenty-four hour on the route at any time, and his army never once felt any greater need for clothing or food or ammuni tion than was occasioned all through our civil war, even in recruiting camps, by the negli gence or incapacity of our quartermaster, commissary, or ordnance departments. Judg ing from this standpoint, and from the f aots in the case as Bet forth above, King William may rest easy as to communication with his base. He will not be starved out. He has nothing to fear on that score nothing on any score, but the vigilanoe and determina tion of bis enemy within the walls of Pans, the rapid movement and skilful management of his enemies outside the walls of Paris and the impatient mutterings of revolution that begin to be heard in the heart of his own Germany. "MY POLICY." From the Memphis Avalanche We are not surprised at the course ex-Pre sident Johnson seeS fit to pursue. Our opi nion of the motives which govern him has not changed within the twelvemonth. Those who censured the Avalanche a year ago for opposing Mr. Johnson's aspirations for the Senate will now see that they, and not the Avalanche, were mistaken as to his character and aims. We see no reason to recall a line or a word printed in this journal then. Time has shown the ex-President possessed of the spirit we then imputed to him a spirit which would sink every other interest conflicting with his own. A year ago the ex-President made a desperate struggle for the Senatorsbip and lost. After a year's burrowing in seclusion he re-emerges for another contest of the same kind. The speech at Gallatin last Saturday was the first gun of the campaign, designed to defeat General Brown, if possible; if not, to at least Jobnsonize the next Legislature. It turns out that, stripped of its grandiloquence, "My Policy is that policy which will most easily hoist Andrew Johnson into the Senate. Last year Mr. Johnson's artillery was resistance to impeachment a struggle endorsed by Con servatives North and South He was beaten. Now he re-enters the field with other weapons, and with renewed strength and vigor, He is not content with scouring the bioad, open plains for living issues, but goes down among tbe dead men, and exhumes tbe bones long crumbling to dust. These, though dissolving in his hands, he brandishes exult- in gly over bis head, as a savage brandishes his war club. His battle-cry is, revenge, and his weapons are those whioh were buried at Appomattox. Digging up the dead body of secession, he proposes to employ it as a bludgeon to batter down the New Tennessee born or tbe Constitutional Convention, hop ing to step from its ruins to the summit of his ambition. He knows that General Brown never believed the doctrine of secession. He knows that gentleman would not stand upon a platform repugnant to his princi ples; and: he knows that the convention in nowise endorsed secession or any other dead issue. But he looks for followers to reviving the bitter animosities of the war, when passion and prejudice ruled; and when the few purblind Bourbons whs still foster this baleful spirit were less powerless for mischief. Andrew Johnson represents one, they the other extreme. One strives to build up hatreds against moderate men, who be lieve the war over; the other seeks to incite tbem against secessionists, iiotn misrepre sent tbe South to the world, and both blindly obey the impulse of self.' Mr. Johnson's course in the Senatorial campaign was arrant demagogery. The Avalanche a year ago exposed him as the demagogue everybody now knows him to be. WOMAN IN THE FORUM. From the N. T. Times. Of all the novel pursuits to which women have been led under the inspiration of pro gress, or whatever other agency has lured them from familiar, if homely, ways of kitchen and nursery, the law seems the one beet adapted to their abilities and most pro mising of ultimate distinction. In the minis try they seem a trifle out of place. In medi cine they seem to have a better claim, for they are natural-born nurses and apothecaries. But here, again, there may be difficulties. which we need not dwell on, but which are no less patent now than when Margaret Brandt found them insurmountable in the days of "The Cloister and the Hearth." For services in war women have always been shown to possess a speoiai aptitude. But in law the main thing, in common cases, is to talk, and the last word often turns the balance of victory. There a woman finds herself at home, anq it' must be a dexterous weaver of words who will overcome her in the management of her chosen weapon. She has precedent, too, to uphold her; for, not to mention rortia, most winning of advo cates, albeit only a lovely vision, there was Horteneia, the Miss Cozzens, shall we say, of Cicero s day. a viyia ana vigorous reality. who held her own with the ablest iurists of the forum. In the court-room, too, so long as her sisters do not claim the right to mono polize bench and jury-box, her charms will be a help ana not a .hindrance. A melting glanoe will do more to convince a wavering juryman man tne most elaborate argument; a smile will avert, perhaps, an adverse ruling; and, as in the days of Phryne, learning and law will rail bet ore tbe eloquence or beauty. With all these advantages, it is somewhat surprising that the legal profession has at- traded so lew irom tbe enlightened cham pions of progressive womanhood. Miss Lemma Barkaloo, we believe, was admitted to all the privileges of the St. Louis Bar, and her late associates have just been passing resolutions of mourning for her untimely demise. Miss Phebe Cozzens was said to be in training for tbe same goal, but seems to bave been en ticed away by the allurements of Sorosis and the glitter or sun rage meetings. Mrs. Morris, who is a justice of the peaoe in Colorado, doubtless dispenses more justice than law. Mrs. Myra l Bradweu la trying to be a law yer in Chicago, but cannot get herself ad mitted to practice before the unchivalrio judges of the Hlinois courts. She has taken up her case, however, to the Supreme uourt in appeal, and may yet be the Hortensia of the West. So far as we know, this completes the list of acknowledged aspirants for forensio honors in the United States. Whv the number should be so small we are at a loss to understand. Of female doctors and divines, brokers and barbers, politicians and publicists and editors, we have not a lew; only of the one career which seems to offer them greater results than all of these, they seem unaccountably regardless. Perhaps it is too soon to look for so thorough an emancipation from older superstitions as any general movement of women to Jurispru dence would betoken. Or it may be that the mania for musoularity has seized them, too, and tbat tbey are bent now on rivaling men not in mental, but in physical greatness; not in learning, but in skill with the oar, in fleet- nesB of foot, or even in what is pre-eminently termed the manly art. The Wilkie Collins of tbe next generation may find it neoessary to write a novel to control the biceps of the Anne Silvesters, and not the Geoffrey Dela- mayns.
