Editorial Opinions of th Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE SIEGE OF PARIS. From the A'. 1". UeralcU The siege of Parifl. which began to loom upon the Parisians with the disastrous rout of the splendid army of MacMahon on the Rhine frontier, became a certainty (unless avoided by a treaty of peace) after the astounding CBpitulation of Sedan. After Sadovra there was a treaty of peace which saved the capital of Austria; but after Sedan, which involved the overthrow of the responsible government of France and the substitution of a provi sional republic resolved upon the expulsion of the eiemy, there was no alternative to King "William but the siege of Paris. Accordingly his restless army columns from Sedan were moved !own upon the city. They have en circled it, and by an impassable wall of steel they have isolated it from the outside world. They have so far completed the prodigious work of investment in a circuit of thirty miles that they are reported as ready to commence operations not only upon some of the exterior defensive forts, but in the bombardment of the city itself. We have meantime, through the limited aerial mail facilities of balloons and carrier pigeons, information from within the walls, that though the city has two millions of con sumers oi provisions, and is totally cut off Jrom all outside sources of supply, it is still provided with means of subsistence which may be made to hold out for three or fonr months; that the Seine, flowing through the city, furnishes an abundant supply of water, which cannot be cut off; that the armed de fenders within the city's walls and exterior fortificatins far exceed in number three hun dred thousand men; that they have abundance of ammunition for small arms and artillery; that they are preparing for offensive opera tions; and from Tours we learn that on the Rhone and the Loire other armies are rapidly forming to come to the rescue. These re ports of the state of things in Paris are from the city's defenders, who, of course, repre sent their situation in the most favorable light. We really, however, know no more of what is going on from day io day in Paris than of the events transpiring in the inner city of PeLin or in the streets of Timbuctoo & fact which, in this boasted epoch of ad vanced civilization, is the most astounding of all the astounding facts of the wonderful nineteenth century. Assuming, however, that the internal con dition of Paris, as represented at Tours through those balloon and pigeon expresses, is substantially true, may not General Trocha be preparing for a sortie upon which he cal culates to change the fortunes of the war? With an army of three hundred thousand men at his command, is it not within his power to sally out en masse upon some weak point of the enemy's encircling line and double it up by mere weight of numbers, afl Stonewall Jackson, in an overwhelming flank attack, doubled up and pushed away from lUchtnqpA the army of McClellan? Some such brilliant coup as this may be contem plated by Trochra, and in the little outside skirmishes with the Germans, now occurring almost every day, he may be training his sol diers for a grand attack; but the repeated failures of Bazaine with his veteran soldiers in his sorties from Metz are rather calculated to discourage than to invite any such experi ments with the raw troops of Paris. General Grant, we are informed from a re liable source at Washington, "so far from uttering a doubt, as alleged, with reference to the Prussians being able to capture Paris, to day (October f) expressed the opinion that they would be successful, judging by all the military circumstances." General Grant thinks that from "all the military circumstances" Paris will have to capitulate, or that it will be taken by the investing German army; and this opinion, from the hero of the sieges of Vicksburg and of Petersburg and llichmond, will command universal attention and respect. Assuming that the issue of the siege will establish the soundness of this opinion, and that Paris, a month or two or three months hence, from the combined pressure of isola tion, bombardment, hunger, and internal disorders, will be reduced to a surrender, what then ? Will the government at Tours succumb and ask for peace or an armistice, -or will it be still controlled by the implacable and impracticable "reds" in favor of war to "the last ditch?" We think it altogether probable that the fall of Paris will bring even the most violent of the members of the existing French Gov ernment to terms of peace, with the convic tion that further resistance will only entail upon France further losses, Bufferings, and humiliations. Count Bismarck has em phatically declared that Prussia has nothing to do with the business of establishing the local government of France, but that short of a responsible or regular government Prussia must hold some material guarantees in enter ing into a treaty of peace. That the present provisional establishment of France, with or before the capture of Paris, will be brought into such stipulations for peace as will save France from further misfortunes, and secure to her the republic, we can hardly doubt. Meanwhile we cannot dismiss the conviction that England, Russia and Austria, acting con jointly at this crisis with France in behalf of peace, would speedily put an end to this disastrous and deplorable war. WILL RUSSIA INTERFERE? Prom, the ti. Y. Time The doubts which we recently .expressed as to the rumored intervention of Russia in the Franco-German war are confirmed by the progress of eveuts. It is true that the -Czar is apparently reinforcing his garrisons in Poland and Volbynia, but this might well be with a Republic declared in France, and one threatened in Italy and Spain. The weak bide of Russia is still the Polish fron tier, and a democratic uprising in Europe might easily kindle some of the inflammable material in her western provinces. It is re ported, too, in our European files, that a military commission has been appointed in St. Petersburg to create a medical reserve force of KMX) surgeons; but this maybe but a pertien of the necessary military reorgan ization, which the Russian Government is Aware is now imperatively demanded, if the empire would keep pace with the progress of other European nations. It is rumored also that seven divisions of infantry have Leen Bent to Kieff to watch the Galioiaa frontier, and that every factory and gun shop is crowded with work in prepariog arms and munitions of war. The massing of troops on the Galioian frontier certainly looks more like a threat to Austria than Prussia; and the activity in the gun facto ries is only a portion of the needed reorgan ization which we have alluded to above. Von Bismarck and Moltke would never Lave withdrawn the Posen-Prnssian Corps from, the Russian frontier to taa hmi of France, without satisfactory assurances that Russia would take no part in the struggle im pending. There can be no donbt that on this point Bismark and the Czar have a per fect understanding. And it is not an impro bable supposition that the Prussian diplomat has indicated to the Russian government that, in return, no opposition will be offered to any plans which Russia may have of Aggrandizement in the direction of Turkey. Russia has no port of interest in throwing down the gauntlet before Germany because Bhe is about to acquire some French pro vinces beyond the Rhine. The unity or power of Germany is no obstacle to the Russian ambition, as that has ceased to look toward Europe, but is fixed on Asia. I It is true that Russia possesses certain pro vinces with inhabitants of German blood, but they are not a population which the German Union have ever ceveted or are likely to covet. It is true also that the control of the Baltic by the Prussians would be objection able to the Government of the Czar. But as long as Denmark in its independence and England, France, and Russia are likely to be united in defending it there caa be no great hindrance to Russian growth in the Baltic in Prussian prosperity. Moreover, the true and natural outlet for the Sclavonic Empire is by the Black Sea and the Darda nelles. When she possesses these she can give up the North Sea and the Baltic. We see, then, no reasonable probability of Rus fcia's taking part in this great straggle. Moreover, there are two still more weighty reasons which will keep Russia out of any great war. One is her want of breeoh-load-ing guns, tmd the others the condition of her internal politics. The empire is to-day utterly unprepared for a war with a first clnss European power. Ihere are said to be only breech-loading guns for half the army, and none in reserve. The authorities at St. Petersburg are unquestionably straining every nerve to reorganize the empire in a military respect. They see the advance of other countries in the implements and aids of war, and they are laboring to put the nation on a par with Prussia and France. But they are perfectly aware that at present she is not so. The Russian armies would enter into a Euro pean contest singularly inferior in equip ment to those of other powers. Besides this obstacle, Russia is still feeling the strain of the vast social revolution which has just taken place. Millions of serfs have not been freed and placed in a new relation to the employing class and the State without a profound convulsion of society. She is no more ready for a foreign war than is the United States to-day. Questions of tre mendous import are not yet settled the re lations of labor to land, of classes to one another, and of the emancipated to the Gov ernment. The mind of the people is ooou pied, as it is here, with the new position and r:ghts of the emancipated laborers, and with questions of popular education and political institutions. Everything is yet seething and in ferment. The Czar himself, no doubt, at times feels the ground trembling under him; and the nobility are struggling to hold their ancient privileges. A nation in such a con dition has no heart for a foreign war. We doubt if the mass of the people care any thing about either Turkey or Constantinople. Like our own people, they are not so ambi tious as they have the reputation of being, and are occupied with their own affairs. It is, however, possible that the Government may have more ambitious plans, and may be preparing tor an attack on lurkey; and i knowing that the great opponent to such pro jects would be found in Austria, may be massing troops on the Galician fron tier for this purpose. WAR AND CHRISTIANITY. From the N. T. Tiibune. "Is Christianity a bloody religion?" This is a question which was recently propounded by one of our correspondents, who, to his grief and apparent astonishment, had found doctors of divinity defending war. Oar friend is not the first man who has been confused by the inevitable paradox, for a paradox we admit it to be. It is impossible to deny that in the largest sense war is in compatible with the Christian scheme. And yet how does it happen that only a single sect of any importance has considered the bear ing of arms under any circumstances to be sinful? How has it happened that, ever since the first preaching of Christianity, great wars have been waged in behalf of it not merely proselyting wars, but contests absolutely conscientious, like that which resulted in the Commonwealth of Eng land? That is to say, how has it happened that thousands of Christians, professed and constantly professing, have thought it not merely no sin to tight, but an absolute Christian duty to draw the sword? From one point of view, this is not an easy question to answer. If the teachings of the gospel are to be literally interpreted, and not aceording to their obvious spirit, the things which we may do or must leave undone would be numerous enough and various enough to change the whole civil constitution of society. Take the matter of the corporal oath, and observe that if the injunction to swear not at all were to be obeyed to the letter, there would be an end of courts of justice. We say this because eftirmation really amounts to about the same thing as swearing. Again, who sells all that be has, and gives the purchase-money to the poor? What Christian doing this would not have a commission of lunacy sued out against him? We mu6t, in fact, be contented with the general tendency of any doc trine, political, philosophical, or re ligious, although this requires patience, and patience, we know, is not pre cisely the virtue of the present age. Vet the abolition of slavery has given us a precious illustration of the force which is inherent in any great moral scheme. We rind, indeed, in the whole political status of this republic plenary evidence of the vitalizing power of Christianity, and of the completeness with which it finally extirpates certain abuses. So in respect of war. We believe that it has tended, upon the whole, to the diminution of strife and slaughter. A religious war, for in stance, like those waged by Philip of Spain, with their frightful butcheries, would no w be Bimply impossible. The polities of the world are becoming slowly but surely Christianized, and when this process has reached a maxi mum, wars of a particular class, and perhaps all wars, will cease. Christianity has been received and pro fessed as a scheme of moral truth for eighteen centuries. It seems to us, if we are to ask any such narrow question as that of our cor respondent ("Is Christianity a bloody re ligion?"), that the past is sufficiently dis couraging; because nominal "Christianity" thus far has been, while in its theory pacific, at the same time in its practice fearfully san guinary. If we take Europe (to go no further "tack) from A. D. l.'ou to A. D. 1!00, we shall find that probably a moiety or more of the violent deaths to which men were subjected resulted either from ecclesiastical institu tions or from religious wars. Taken by themselves, these annals of the Chnroh are discouraging these wholesale massaores of the. field, these horrible Backs of captured citieH, these burnings, these burying, alive while down through the murky centuries which these blood-smeared annals chroni cle comes the dull drone of the priests, pat tering prayers and exhorting to orthodoxy. This is the dark side too dark to be dwelt Ufon; and if it Were all, we might sit down and fold our hands in dull despair. Yet all this time genuine Christianity has been mould ing the hearts of men, and gradually persuad ing the world to peace, until now a distinctly religious war, waged avowedly for the propa gation of any particular form of belief, would be impossible. We have at least outlived the crusading spirit. There is no longer a pre tense that infidels are beasts to be slaughtered by the dripping swords of the faithful; and here we have practical proof of the power of genuine Christianity to promote a peace which shall be nearly universal. Moreover, it is to be remembered that wars, from being con stant and the main business of mankind, have become exceptional. The progress of the world's pacification may be slow, but wo be lieve it to be sure, although the clangor of contending hosts almost reaches our ears as we are writing. But with all our desire for the world's tran quility, we are yet slow to believe that war has no moral uses; and we cannot subscribe to any doctrine which declares physical re sistance to wrong to be irreligious. We mast accept the infirmities of our mortal state. For instance, we cannot comprehend, in the case of our own nation, how it was wrong for the Government forcibly to prevent a few States from rushing upon their own ruin and dragging the others after them into a similar abyss. That is to say, we think that in such an emergency the nation was as much in duty bound to fight as a father is bound, by the use of fire-arms, if need be, to protect his children from an assassin. This being settled, the right sr wrong of war becomes a compara tive question. In a righteous cause it is only personal self-defense upon a great co-operative scale. The advantages of a war like that which is now raging in Europe are ulterior; and we willingly admit that they will be needed as compensation for the political crimes whic h provoked hostilities.
