The Xorth-German Correspondent, which is said to be an official organ of Bismarck, in its issue of September 24 contains the following important article: "A great deal of wrath has been unnecessarily wasted by the neutral, and particularly by some of the English papers, on an imaginary 'diabo lical' project of King William to replace the Emperor Napoleon by force of arms on the throne of France. The sole foundation for this perfectly gratuitous supposition appears to be the kind and respectful treatment accorded to the captive of Wilhelmshohe by his Prussian Majesty, for we cannot believe that any one in his senses will attach a political signlllcatlon to the joke imputed to Count Bismarck last July, that if the French were beaten, the best pun ishment they could get would be to make them keep their Emperor.' It is rather mystifying to find Germany one day represented by some of the London organs of public opinion as vigo rously prosecuting the war with the intention of giving Bonapartism the coup de grace, while a week later we are pilloried as the sworn allies and upholders of a ruined and 'effete empire.' "In a former number we endeavored to show that King William could not well refuse to regard his prisoner as being still the Emperor of the French. When Napoleon surrendered his sword at Sedan, no one will contend that he was not the acknowledged ruler of France recog nized as such both at home and abroad and this undoubted fact decided the reception he was to find in Germany, and the character of his imprisonment. It must be recollected that the King of Prussia was not his judge, and had only to dispose of the captive in a manner com patible with the honor of the allied govern ments. Louis Napoleon is as truly a sovereign at Wilhelmshohe as Francis I was at Madrid; and war, among civilized nations, does not abolish International courtesy. "If it be asserted that the proclamation of the republic must be regarded as the knell of the empire, we must confess our inability to see how eleven private persons, supported by a tumultuous street rabble, could put themselves in the place of a government regularly elected and solemnly confirmed by the French people. Nor, to do the Committee of Defense justice, do they claim to be regarded as the successors of the regency. The country is to decide next month, by its legitimate representatives, on the fate of the Empire aud the Republic. Should the deposition of the Emperor be then adopted by the people of France, he will of course become a private individual, but till that time comes we are required, both by courtesy and a regard for legality, to treat him as Napoleon III. Count Bismarck, as we know, has consented to receive M. Jules Favre, and there is no doubt he will point out to that able lawyer the almost insuper able difficulties in the way of negotiating or concluding a treatyof peace with the provisional government, since it has as yet met with only a partial recognition in France, . and is quite unable to offer any guarantees that the terms it may make with Germany will be accepted by -the Constituent French Assembly next month. "Should Louis Napoleon be definitely deposed by the formal decision of the French people, we can assure the neutral press that Germany will not move a finger in the cause of Bona partism. Such a course would be incompatible both with our feelings and our interests. It is absurd to talk of the legitimist sympathies for a family whose present bead has described him self as a parvenu. Till France, however, has decided on her future destinies, Louis Napoleon, for us, is still the Emperor." LUTETIA INFELIX. The Unhappy Fate ( Paris. Permit me, says a correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, to say a word for unfortunate fans, it sue must bear the lion's share of re eponslbility for the war, she will have more than her due part in the calamities it brings in its train. The war is to go on. it appears: and the Germans may master her by force or fear, or they may possibly (it is upon the cards) fall back battled before her walls. In any case the Paris of our affections will be dead, and the Paris of the future a different one. Picture what Paris would be even if the tide of war ebbed swiftly back, and we revisited it swept and garnished three months hence ! All of us know the Grand Avenue of the Chauao Elysces, and the approaches to the Bols de Boulonne. Beautiful as the woodwas, It was the living ana melancholy monument of the allied occupation of the beirinnlnsr of the centurv. The trees were growing fast, out they were nt as tueirpredecessors who fell under the allied axes. They were the continual objects of the tender care of a paternal government; now they are the nuisance and embarrassment of a people standing desperately on the defense, driven back with its back to its city walls. The foliage that the batteries twisted among like snakes in the grass has been stripped away, me green mantle raris wore over its armor has been rudely torn from its shoulders. Grim scarps and counterscarps are girdled with unsightly stumps. Fire has been " tried more successfully upon the woods beyond, leaving its- train upon scorched and mangled irucKt. me turt aud trees in the faro de Mon- ceaux, so carefully watered with theindia rubber nose, is at tne mercv ot herds of cattle and huntrrv flocks of sheet): but triHn lika thn&A r hardly worth considering. Franc-tireurs, abusing uie rigni 01 war, are bivouacking among the snruos ana trim nower Deas ot the island, raaiung tneir roaring camp nres on the dry tlm ber of the ornamental chalets. The lines of superb villas between the Arc de Trlomphe and the wood have already suffered more than the worst that siege and bombardment could do to them some gutted and most are heaps of ruins. And all that is but a sample of what is passing around the whole enceinte of the walls. Vou remember the views over the Seine vallev from the railways of the right and left banks, from the hill by the Ville d Avrav. and the Ter race of St. Germaln-en-Laye the bright white villas and cottages clustering as thick as they might for the comfortable elbow-room they craved; the waving woods, crowded up by orchards, breaking 1bU glades of turf and Finiliug down on gay hanging gardens. Now the invader has the run o them all the tenants Lave scattered away or sheltered themselves in shuddering Paris; and, let him use them as con siderately as he will, the necessities of war will compel a widespread devastation. How can we ever hope to revisit Paris and find it as it used to be ? The shrubs may be re planted indeed and the flowers laid out anew, but neither our generation nor the next will see the pleasant woods what we knew them. If M. Ilaufsmann's creations should be shattered, if the luxurious mansions built by private lavishness have been demolished, who Is ever to restore them ? We are hardly likely to see a restora tion of the empire; but, assuming that miracle, even the empire must be economical perforce. Under any form of regime, luxury must give way to retrenchment. Taxes must inevi tably be crushing, and imperial fortunes will have crumbled with the system that reared them. Who is to fill the errand hotels and crowd the stalls of the new operas and theatres ? Things for long will move in a vicious circle as they labor heavily to right themselves, for a full half of the inducements that lured wealthy strangers will be gone. Much that used to be sou and beau tiful will be harsh and bald, there will be no parvenu court, with its eeducing atmosphere of show and sybaritism, issuing invitations to be intrigued for or bought at the price of reck less extravagance. There will be probably a brief rule of stern republicanism, to give way to that of some constitutional prince wno shall protess nimseit tno lather of the humbler classes, not the free-handed host of the foreigner. AVho is to inhabit M. Haussmann's palaces? If they are to be tenanted by Frenchmen renis must fall pitifully, or they mast stand empty by streets and places, or become the heritage of meritorious labor. Happen what may in the next few weeks, it looks as if Paris for years to come must be the resort of those who may care to profit by the lesson of adversity that has been read to others; of men who desire to temper themselves for the struggle of lite by a resi dence among the hardest realities. I trust de voutly that we snail not bave to make a yet gloomier forecast of its future before it fiuds breathing time from its troubles. METZ. V Life In and Around the Beleaguered t'lly. Correspondence of the London Timfs. Before Metz, Sept. 25. It is a wouder to all that the French don t make an attempt to re capture this particular point from which I am writing, as it commands the entire surrounding country, and one can distinctly see, even with the naked eye, everything that goes on in Metz and its environs. The French outposts fire at , Immense ranges 800 to 1000 and not unfre quently they have been successful in either wounding or killing our men. They seem en tirely regardless of their ammunition, and take every conceivable opportunity or discharging their Chassepots at wnatever object may attract their eye. During the whole day and night an everlasting fusilade is kept up, as if a, battue of pheasants was going on, but wnen you see a poor teiiow dropyou soonfindthat.no such light sport is going on, but that it is war, with all its horrors. Captivity does not, however, present itself ap parently in its sternest or most depressing aspects to tne uecKaaea inmates ot Metz. Children can be seen playing in the meadows ; the bands performing lively music; the streets are busy with moving figures in no hurried or warlike avocations; and from some tall chim neys, which seemed to be those of factories, smoke could be seen to issue.' You will doubt less be aware that the Prussians have cnt off the water supply from Metz from the side of Gravelotte. The water of the Moselle is, it seems, not very wholesome in this part. Cer tainly the water is running low in tne eourses around liere; It is not very clear, ana only too rapid. Deserters tell us that in Metz they are as badly off for water as for wholesome and suf ficient lood. So large a mass of men penned up in close Quarters, with a lanre proportion anions' them of sick arid wounded, ill-lodged, worse fed, and drinking bad water, with little or none at dis posal for sanitary purposes, can hardly be in a position to mane a very lengthened resistance. The works of Metz are of such enormous extent and strength, its admirable natural position is so strengthened by trenches, forts, bastions, and earthworks, its strength constantly growing oy virtue of the new earthworks that are being thrown up by thousands of busy spades, that storming the place would be an act of madness. Before the actual works of Metz itself could be even attacked that is those which consti tute its main strength strong field works must be carried, and these are protected by heavy guns on the heights, and would not be passed without paying a heavy toll of soldiers' lives. Certainly the Prussians can have but little idea of attempting it in the face of the recent order of the King, that all effusion of blood should be as much as possible spared. If Metz falls or rather shall I say when Metz falls ? it will fall by famine and sickness, not from external as sault. These gaunt enemies of besieged towns cannot be shut out; they are now walking the streets of Metz, and their approaches are being felt in every house, if what we hear is true. BISMARCK. Air. ftlalel's Reported Interview with the I'rui.iRs freuiler. The following is the report of the interview between Mr. Malet, Second Secretary of the English Legation at Paris, and Count Bismarck. which the Count has since branded as untrue: within the last few weeks Bismarck has been Officially visited by Mr. Mulft, Second Secretary of uie iguLiou lu i m in, wuu cttine ou a mission iroiu Lord Lyons. Mr. Malet came to ask on what terms the German Government would cousent to make peace, and also whether it would enter into any direct communication with M. Jules Favre. The Count answered In a friendly tone, bat very sum marily ana aeeiueiny, "we aon t want money," ne said ; "we are ri-h, and we don't care about large indemnities. We do want ships, Germany not being at present a naval power or having any special naval objects in view; but we know very well that we shall leave behind us in France an undying legacy oi nate, ana mat nappen wnat may just now France will at once go Into training. For that rea son she looks forward to a day when, without Em peror to keep her lu check, and without the eitete feebleness and wastefulness which the imperial regime has brought on lier, she may wreak ven geance upon Germany. Accordingly, what we now insist upon is that we shall bave Metz aud Straa bur?. We do not care to have thirn dismantled, hat. as they are, aud as they are we shall keep them for a bnlkwark against French invasion, making them stronger than ever they were. We do not want ships, but Metz and Sirasburir we must have. As lor knocking our heads against Paris, -re don't do it. 'i nat is not erur plan. We have lium cavalry, and we will starve Paris out, cutting her railroads, and cutting off all communication, Ibis is clear enough iu some respects. The most important aua instructive portion ot the count's re marks came towards the end of the conversation lie assumed that Prussia would gain all her objects. treating the acquisition of JVletz and Strasburg as a fuitoecumtli: "but," he added, "what 1 most fear is the eit'ect of a republic la France upon Germany It- sell mat is wnat tne King ann i most rear. For no one knows as well as we do what has been the In (lueuce of American republicanism in Germaay." iiere tnetJouot evmeutiy auunea not oniy to tne theoretical tendencies or the Germans, but to tbe enecttif the communications from those of the Fatherland who colonize the United States and he- come thus naturalized to republicanism. "If," he continued, speaking of the French, "they light us with a propagandist republic, they will do us more naini man they can do usoy rorce or arms. " NAPOLEON III. Alleged Attempted Holdde of the Emperor. The 7Yec. published at Vienna, gives the follow. ing extraordinary piece of correapoudence from Cause 1 : The Prussian Government has Issued the sternest prohibition air must the receipt at the tele graph office of a report of the circumstances which I shall now relate to you from authentic sources. In spite of all attempts at concealment, yes terday tne news spread nere like wildfire that Napoleon had. on the lth. made an attempt at suicide. The details of the flair, as communicated by the oftlcer on guard, are as follows: Napoleon, for two days, exhibited a strange elevation of spirits, which, up to this, ha t not been .perceptible in htm. He received, doting the last few days, several despatches and letter from Paris and Hastings, spoke extremely little, and for the two days left his room only once. Tills was about five o'clock in the evening. He had given orders that all despatches which arrived should be brought to him Immediately, wherever he was. Two, which had lust come from Hasting aud Brussels, were accordingly taken to him In the park. He read them, and grew visibly pale. He then returned to the castle, and shut himself up In his room After they had seen or heard nothing of him for two hours, his Immedi ate attendants began to be alarmed. About Q o'clock they resolved, on the pretext of having something Important to communicate, to ask for ad mission Into bia room. Prince Marat undertook the task, but to his repeated knocks and calls no answer was returned. After half an hour they broke open the door and found Napoleon lying on the sofa In a deep faint. Two physicians were Immediately fetched, and they succeeded, after the lapse of an hour, in bringing Napoleon to himself. Kvery thing here points to an attempt at suicide, to which, of course, the officials will not agree. The Governor of Cassel made his appearance at a still later hour In the castle, which was la a state of the greatest confusion. The Governor did not leave till morning and has sent a long account of the matter to the headquarters. The whole population of C ni sei went out to-day to Wilhelmshohe to see Napo leon. He, however, 'In consequence of severe ill ness,' kept his room." The Prosse evidently, and It would appear with reason, disbelieves the whole story. It remarks that after Sedan there Is scarcely any bad news which could street the Etnpeior so severely. . XOTES OF THE WAIi. ATTITUDE OF THE CZAR. The Cologne Gazette, referring to the remarks of some journals on the attitude.of Russia in the present war. says: The notoriously friendly feeling of the Empe ror of Russia 'for Prussia cannot bo denied; but it is gladly rumored about that he is sick. In this, we may remark by the way, as we know from the unanimous testimony of eye-witnesses in St. Petersburg, there is not one word of truth. The Emperor is perfectly well, and is delighted, as his presentation ot orders proves, at the German victories. At the beginning of the war, as we learn from a trustworthy source, the Emperor Alexander declared, in opposition to the military men who surrounded him: "The war is a misfortune, but it has been provoked by France, and the troops ot my uncle will give the French a fitting lesson." The news of the battle of Woerth was greeted by the Em peror as joyful Intelligence, and the statement already made in papers is confirmed as perfectly true, that when, at the capitulation of Sedan, he proposed a toast in honor of the event, he broke his glass, according to the ancient cus tom, that no one might ever drink from it again. All this as little accords with what is said about the unfavorable feeling of Russia for Prussia as the letter of the Emperor Alexander to King William, about which some papers with French sympathies have recently said all sorts of fabu lous things in an unfavorable sense. The in ventors of rumors about congresses must be content to know that peace will be concluded without them and those from whom they receive their orders. BALLOON ADVENTURES. Looking at the size and brightness and life of the place, it was difficult to realize that it is absolutely cut off from all the external world. and yet it is absolutely; for, as the crew of a sink ing and waterlogged snip con tide their last messages to the chance of - the waves, so these unhappy people in Metz have been trying to get tne winas ot neaven to carry tidings ot tnem to anxious friends at home. A balloon was sent up three days ago from the town laden with a multitude of letters, little scraps of notes, open, on one siae tne letter, on tne other tne address, and generally on one side or the other a pathetic appeal to the humane charity of those into whose bands they might fail, be they friends or foes, to forward them to their destination; but the winds were hostile, and the balloon came down in the midst of the Philistines. Few people would be more likely to accede to the prayer than the kind- hearted Germans, with their strong domestic affections; but at the present there are insurmountable difficulties in the way. I saw a number of these little notes. They were from all sorts and conditions of men; -but the general burden of them was that the writers were in a singularly high state of health. Here and there were a few extra details. One gentleman tcld his wife that his horse, Bam bino, though twice wounded, was getting on a intrveille, and would live to see happier days. Another, addressing his mother, expressed a strong desire that a certain young lady, whose name it would be improper to mention, should as much as possible be associated with his kith and kin, "for her comfort" during this time of anxiety. Another gossiped a little about his brother officers; one of them was likely to be decorated, and he himself wonld, without a doubt, be named a commander of the Legion of Honor. We must all hope that these aspirations will be speedily fulfilled. Metz correspondence Manchester Guardian. A RIGHTEOUS VERDICT. The Tamworth Kallroad Accident Verdict of Manslaughter. The Coroner's inquest respecting the death of the sufferers by the late accident to the Irish mail train at Tamworth, England was con cluded on the 24th ultimo. This was the dis aster of which at the time a highly exaggerated account was lorwarded to this country by cable. Edwin Smith, the chief guard of the train, said that the distance signals at North Bridge, Tam worth, wereall right on the morning of the acci dent, and he only saw that the main signal was against them after the driver had commenced blowing his whistle to apply the breaks, as If in distress. On looking out he found the breaks on, and thought the guard's van and engine break were on fire, from the number of sparks flying lrom the wheels. He at once applied his brake, and then he felt a snocK as the train went on to tne siaing, ana a crash as the engine went through the stop block and toppled over into the river Anker. Hie "IDs. the signalman at the southern end of the station, stated that It was the duty of Evans to wain him of the approach of the mall tr.Jn by one blow on his gong. Ho (Higgins) had his points set for the "stop, block as usual; if he had received a signal even after the train had gone on to the siding, he should have put his points for the main line, and have brought the mail from the siding again on the main line. He kept his portion of the main line clear, and if Evans bad done the same there would have been no accident. Henry Stafford, the foreman of Tamworth station, attributed the accident to Evans, who should always have kept his points open for the main line. Evans had been on duty from o 30 P. M. on the previous evening, and would nave been relieved at tne same time in tne morning. Evans, it was stated, bad under his control thirteen points and ten signal levers. Mr. Blenkinsop, the solicitor who represented the company, admitted tfcat the telegraph sys tem was not perfect, but tne company were im proving it, and wonld continue to improve it. The jury retired, and in ten minutes they re turned with a verdict of "manslaughter" against Alireu Evans. : . The United States District Attorney of Xathville, Teun., has received Instructions from Attorney-General Akerman to take prompt measures for the arrest and ''effectual prosecu tion'' of persons guilty of violations of the act of Congress passed to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. A burnlnsr well has been "struck" on the Elantation of Wade Hampton, In Virginia. It as been burning steadily for more than two weeks. The Greenville R publican says that the gas, when bottled, burns readily, and baa a sul I'turoue smell. SECOND EDITION TO-DAY'S CABLE NEWS. Active Skirmishing Near Paris.

The Postmaster at New York having asked the Postmaster-General whether he should despatch the mails to Europe by the Hamburg steamer which leaves New York to-day, the Postmaster-General replied that he considers it unsafe and Inexpedient to send the mails by the German steamers at pre sent, on account ot their liability to capture by French cruisers. HYDROPHOBIA. Death Caused by an Animal Not Knbld. The Kochester Advertiser of -a late date says: One of the mo6t horrible cases of hydrophobia ever recorded occurred at Saugertles, N. Y., tbls week, when Mr. William B. Whitaker, an aged and much respected citizen, died an agon izing death from the bite of a rabid dog. It appears that in March last Mr. Whitaker, while playing with a small dog belonging to Moses KrobD, of Saugerties, was bitten just below the nail on the forefinger of the left hand. The dog thawed no symptoms of hydrophobia, and nothing was thought of it at the time, the wound soon healing, Whitaker attending as usual to bis business. Last Friday morning Whitaker complained of pain in bis left arm and shoulder; it kept grow ing worse every hour, until Friday evening be became rabid, foaming at the mouth, grinding his teeth, snapping, snarling, growling, and barking in the manner of dogs, nntil It was found necessary for the safety ot himself 'and others to secure him. So furious had be become that they were obliged to call in the assistance of eight strong men, who with gloved bands at last succeeded in securely tying him to bis bed with ropes. Mr. Whitaker, during bis illness, fulry realized the nature of bis disease, and in moments when free from paroxysms would piteously beg of his friends to put an end to bis Intense sufferings, and wonld tell them not to come near him for fear be would do them barm. After three days and two nights of the greatest of sufferings, death came to bis relief. A mouth or so after the biting of Whitaker. a Utile girl, daughter of Moses Krobn, was also bitten by the same cur. The little girl as yet bas shown so signs of hydrophobia, and as nitrate of sil ver was at once applied to the wound, no harm may come from it. These facts should serve to make every one doubly careful in their dealings with canines, as they fully demonstrate that a dog need not necessarily be rabid for bis lite'to cause death.

The corner-stone of a monument to the memory of Baron Steuben,' the distinguished German omcer wno iougnt vauanuy in our war for independence, was laid in May last at the Schutzen Park.. The monument has now been completed by Mr. Jacques Juvenal, the contrac tor, and unveiled this afternoon. It is imme diately in front oi tne mansion at tne pane, ana is of Italian marble, highly polished, standing about 12 feet high, the disc being abont four feet In height ana tour feet square, on wmen appears the simple word "Steuben," on the American shield, around which is a wreath of oak, and a representation of a torch and sword below. The monument is surmounted by a bust of Steuben, about 2)4 feet high, which is said to be a capital likeness. The German societies in this city determined some months ago to unveil the monument to-day, ana at tne same time bave a two days' festival; and, accord ingly, to day and to-morrow the festival will be held. This morning, about ten o'clock, the proces sion to inaugurate the festivities was formed in front of the City Hall by Chief Marshal General Gerhardt. The procession took up the line of march by Four-and-a-half street, Pennsylvania avenue, and Seventh street to the park about 11 o clocK, and on tne line oi marcn quite a num ber of bouquets were handed to those in line.

Herald. t "While meat buoyancy existed at the Stock Exchancn : while the H-nglish money market was reported easy ; while live-twenties in London advanced from Vl.VtoDlM; wbile exchange was lower and weak ; and while the Government, intends to sell a million of gola on Wednesday, tbe gold market was firmer, and rose from 113)6 to 113!.,', simply on the high rates for cash gold exacted by tho lenders from those who were borrowing to make deliveries. The specu lators for a decline, wearied of too obstinate posiiion of the holders of gold, closed their contracts, to mostfe instances at a lost, and turned to the more attractive field presented in the tttoek Exchange, where the fluctuations are reviving the halcyon risyt of money-making. The effect of the numerous influences re cited above worked their ettoct later in the day, when gold again fell off to 1I3X, but, despite the normal influences for decline, tbe undertone of the market, derived from the operations of tbe lenders of gold, waa firm, showing tbe power which combinations in Wall street possess anaintt tbe na' ural course of events. "In tbe gold loan market the rate ranged from 5 per cent, for carrying to 1-16 for borrowing. The transactions for carrying were purely exceptional, and occurred a few minutes before three o'clock, the loans being ex-Clearing House. The average rate for borrowing was about 3-t4. The higber rnlingof gold, combined with the advance in Five twenties in London, led to a strong market tor Governments, but prices tlaotaated very little. Tne cir cular of the eeoretary of tbe Treasury had no eff ect npon the market. It is intimated that Mr. BoatwelUin so strenuously restating tbe solicitations of the street to in crease his gold sales while doubling his purchases of bonds, is opeiating npon a theoiy that snob a count will bring the prices ol Five-twenties and gold togstber, if not induce the former to pass the latter and tDas pave the way for fund ing the debt in the new loan. The Assistant Treasurer reoeived to-day a further instalment of $4-4,000 of the five per cents, of 1871, making a total of $l,65i,0(XI so far preser ted for redempt ion. "The supply of cotton bills on the market has again weakened tbe rates for foreign exchange, and tbe bankers were compelled to further reduoe their rates. "Despite the unfavorable bank statement of Saturday, money was in abnndant snpply at live to six per cent. The transactions at four percent, were purel exceptional, tbe increased volume of business at the Stock Kxohange creating an aetive demand at five per cent, even on Gov ernment collaterals. Discounts were in better demand, and prime paper passed quite freely at 7f to 8 per cent." LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
