THE ROYAL CAPTIVE.
The Prropnt Stntnn f Nnpolron The Imperial -Kxlle
Mill Emperor ef France.
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.

the German Government would cousent to make

Count answered In a friendly tone, bat very sum

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

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

and fifteenth amendments.

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.

N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
From tht IT. T. 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."
