AN INSIDE VIEW OF TARIS.
From the Hi Y. DeraUL
I5y balloon express a special correspondent
inside of Paris furnished us the very interest
ing report given on Monday to our readers of
the condition of things in the city under the
siege, day by day, from the l!Hh of September
to the 5th inst., inclusive. From this diary it
appears that on the 10th of September a do
laohinent of Gardes Mobiles and Zouaves,
after a three hours' fight, had been defeated
outside the walls, and that these "soldiers,
flying ihto Faris, spread great consternation
among the people, who tilled the streets;"
that "the reds Lave prepared to avail them
selves of the first serious defeat to seize the
Government;" that "the telegraph wires to
Brest and New York have been cut, and Paris
is now completely isolated from the rest of
the world;" and that "many foreigners have
been arrested, a number of them charged
with being Rpies." A gloomy exhibit, this,
of demoralization, divisions, conspiracy, and
distrust.
On the 20th of September numerous par
ties, under various devices, attempted to get
away from the city, but in every case they
failed. The German investment round a cir
cuit of thirty miles was found complete and
tight as a drum. "Many of the shops were
shut and jewelry has entirely disappeared
from the show windows and bazaars." A bad
sign. September 21, the anniversary of the
republic of 1702, a proclamation is issued in
honor of the event. "Humors of an armis
tice sent the funds np, and immense relief is
evident in the publio mind." No wonder,
for "marauders have broken loose and are
robbing in every direction," and "Paris is
encumbered with people utterly destitute of
all meant?, in consequence of the stoppage
of all work." Nearly half a million of armed
men in the city of all sorts. On the 22d we
find provisions getting dear, milk, butter and
vegetables getting scarce, and the cost of fuel
enormous. All the newspapers published on
half sheets. No news from the outside world
since Sunday last. A suggestive picture of
"the mysteries and miseries of Paris" under
Siege.
On September 23 heavy cannonading out
side all day creates great excitement inside.
News of Jules Favre's failure with Bismarck
had a prodigious effect. The "reds" were
headed off in the general cry for war to " the
last ditch." Very little gas used, and at mid
night Paris is as still as a graveyard. " Can
such things be" in Paris, where the fun ought
to be in full blast at midnight? The saloons
of the Grand Hotel on the 24th are turned
over to an ambulance corps, and the " statue
of Napoleon the First has been pulled dawn
at Courbevoie and thrown into the river."
The Parisians have had enough of the Bjna
partes. Provisions are getting so high that
riots and plunder are feared. The new opera
house is opened for the distribution of food
to the poor, and (October 1) " the smallpox
is rapidly increasing thereby adding one
more to the horrors of the siege." On the 3d
Gambetta says to Picard, "The proper place
for us is Tours. We must make up our minds
to venture out in a balloon. It is our only
means of getting out." We know what fol
lowed. Gambetta did get off in a balloon,
but it was a narrow escape. He reports Paris
as tranquil and resolute, that her provisions
still hold out, that half a million of armed
men are within the walls for her defense, and
that the women are making a million of cart
ridges a day.
Mow, to rednce all these details to a few
hard facts, what is the condition of Paris
under this siege ? There are two millions of
men, women, and children within the walls
on a limited supply f provisions. From day
to day this supply is so far diminished as to
lessen the amounts distributed and to in
crease the price of everything nearer and
nearer to the point of starvation to thous
ands. What, then, does it signify that there
are three thousand cannon mounted and five
hundred thousand armed men within the
walls for the city's defense, if the city is so
reduced in its supplies that within a month
it must capitulate or make a desperate sortie,
in order to procure food, or suffer the terible
extremities of starvation.
A note from the Prussian Government on
this ubject says that if the oity resolves to
holdout till starved into submission there
are two millions of people to whom the Prus
sian army would be unable to supply food for
a single day; that there is nothing eatable left
within several days' march of Paris, and that
consequently in the extremity suggested hun
dreds of thousands of those people must
starve.
One of two things, therefore, may be very
shortly looked for a desperate sortie from
thote five hundred thousand armed men in
Paris npon the German line of investment.
or a capitulation, and we may, perhaps, have
both. We look first, however, for a des
perate sortie and a bloody engagement.
THE WAR AND TIIE COTTON CROP,
From the Ar. Y. Tribune.
While every week of European war and
business derangement buoys the hopes of the
wheat-grower and sustains his price, in the
game ratio is cotton depressed. The declara
tion of hostilities in July, followed by the
amazing vigor of the Prussian advance and
the collapse of the French armies, has made
it more and more certain that thousands and
thousands of spindles must cease to run; that
millions who had money to buy cloth last year
will have no money tins year. .Navigation
became timorous and capital over-cautious.
The result is just what all the South feared
cotton hardly over a shilling a pound in
tact, less tnan 12 cents, gold, it is now
quite well ascertained that cotton gives no
rrofit worth mentioning when the price coes
below 15 cents, and none at all when only 10
is the price of good middling. At the New
Orleans fair in April the cost of a pound of
cotton was discussed, and the conclusion
reached that on the best alluvial soils, in a
cood season, and with close management, 10
cents will make a pound. But on the average
upland, and with the average eoonomy, the
planter loses who does not receive l..
Southern prosperity, which for two years has
gone beyond all precedent in the days of the
old regime, has received a blow: the planter
' is disheartened; the merchants are afraid to
buy, and Southern goods are gathering dust
in the lofts oi jsew lorn warehouses.
We have again and again counseled the
cotton-growing States that a devotion such as
they have given to a single product, for
marketing v. men tney must look to foreign
oountiies, is bad economy, and can result in
no lasting and permanent thrift. A comma
nity that lives by cotton only, or wheat only,
or tobacco, or rice, or sugar, will run over a
ereat surface with a low and exhaustive till
age. Nothing is returned to the soil for
crops taken off. Prosperity is measured by
dollars that come over-seas not by such true
tests as the condition of roads, houses,
bridges, churches, and stock. A foreign
market is a precarious market. When it is
good it throws abundance of spending-money
into the planter's pocket, and he scatters it
for things that perish with the using. He
buys a saddle-horse from Kentucky, a car
riage in New York; his family indulge in
expensive silks, rare china, and velvet
carpets.
1 hen comes a crash; the merchant has ad
vanced several thousands on a crop that
hardly pays for picking, and holds a mortgage
on the land. Expenses must be reduoed, the
old luxuries are partly abandoned, and re
trenchment throws a gloom over the family
and broods over the neighborhood. Another
year the price goes up, and with it the profu
sion of living. Thus agriculture, instead of
proceeding with the wise calmness and grand
uniformity of nature, becomes a speculation,
almost a game. If the planter becomes a
gamester, what wonder that the merchant,
the lawyer, the politician, follows in his wake,
and the whole social fabric is convulsed by a
sudden telegram from London? Cannot our
Southern brethren see that a composed, well
baRed, established, yet progressive civiliza
tion is inconsistent with their misplaced con
fidence in a single product? and will they
not take a lesson from the gloomy experience
of this year, and no longer prop all their
hopes on a cotton bale? Though the planter
makes only his living this year, he is by no
means poor. 1 he crops of 'G8 and '00 paid
him handsome returns, and he can command
the means for engaging in varied culture and
a diversified industry.
1 irst of all, he should arrange to produce
all the wheat, all the corn, oats, pork, and
beef he consumes. He should examine new
methods and learn whether his long, sunny
summers cannot do something more fr hiui
than merely to open a boll of cotton. He
can grow figs and dry them; he can raise
sweet potatoes in large quantities, pare and
slice them, and, by drying in a kiln, give the
soldier and the sailor and the poor of cities
cheap and nutritious food. Un his rough
land the Angora goat will prosper. His
forests can be made profitable for bark, for
tanner's ooze, and for lumber. On his sunny
southern slopes the grape will gather sweet
ness, lhus his land will become attractive,
and its value will greatly enhance. If the ad
versity of this year can be made to utter an
impressive lesson on true thrift for the South,
the cloud that now overshadows their industry
really has a silver lining.
ROME AND ALSACE.
From the rail Hall Gazette.
By the occupation of the territory com
posing the Roman State the political consoli
dation of Italy is completed. It would be
idle to assert that all the steps by which this
great achievement has been carried through
have been in harmony with morality as un
derstood between Government and Govern
ment; yet the self-respect of the Italian peo
ple has been preserved by their strong sense
of a higher right entitling those who have
acted in their name to do all they have done.
The consciousness of a unity in the Italian
people has produced a conviction of their
moral right to form one political aggre
gate, and to give to it suou constitutional
forms as the majority of Italians should prefer.
No inquiry can be more important for various
reasons at this moment than an inquiry
into the source of this overpowering
consciousness of unity.. It has assuredly not
grown out or common political History, for,
not to speak of modern times, there never
was a period at which Italy was a country with
Rome for her capital, for Rome was always
the capital either of less or oj more than
Italy. Nor has this remarkable feeling arisen
from unity of race. .Nothing is more certain
than that the Italians are not of the same
race. Many of them are doubtless descended
from races akin to the citizens of the city
which conquered the world, but vast numbers
could only trace their pedigree to the great
gangs of slaves, swept together from the
corners of the earth, who filled the households
or tilled the gigantic estates of the wealthy
Komans. The population of the North of
Italy is mainly Geltio, that of the extreme
south has in it Greek, Arabian, and Norman
ingredients; and everywhere at the top there
must be a thick stratum of German origin.
The true unity or Italy is tne result of the
unity of language; it is comparatively modern,
and consists in a common mental history.
Italian learning, Italian science, Italian
poetry, Italian painting, Italian musio, and
w . m v. at-. .
Italian architecture, have been practically
common for many centuries to all the coun
tries now forming the kingdom, and out of
these has been shaped the unity of the Italian
people.
It is worth taking the real origin of Italian
nnity into consideration when we are asked
to assent to that German claim to Alsace
and Lorraine Which is perhaps at this mo
ment being settled in one sense or the other.
That, too, is a claim alleged to be morally
founded on unity. The unity is not of lan
guage, which is allowed to have degenerated
into a patois in these provinoes; it is a unity
of race, supposed to be shown by a former
common tongue. What is really meant by
unity of race beyond a certain community of
language is not the less indistinctly under
stood because the words are nowadays com
mon in men's mouths; those who talk with
most emphasis about races and nationalities
would probably hesitate to lay down that all
whom they include under a particular name
have sprung from the loins of the same
savage patriarch. What really fa important is
the question whether unity of race
or language has produced community
of mental history. Now, it is certain that
Alsace and Lorraine have had no part or share
in tne intellectual development of Germany
The Reformation was the great intellectual
achievement of Germany, but Alsace and
.Lorraine nave long been fervently Catholic.
Germon literature only came into existence
when they were French, and not long before
the events oocurred which made them in
tensely and fanatically proud of beins French,
The mental history of these provinces is in
faot French, and it is now too late to make it
otherwise. They have already given Beveral
great names to French art and literature, and
their admiration is commanded exclusively
by French models. As for the political his
tory of the population, it is of even later
origin than their intellectual history, for it
began in 1781). Their power of speaking a
broken German does not produce sympathy
witn a single uerman luea.
Considering what the exploits of German
generals: have been, it would be Highly pre
sumptuous to question their opinion that the
annexation of these provinoes would give
them a nearly impregnable military frontier;
and we are not satisfied that M. Renan is
right in asserting that Franco, if she retained
Alsace and Lorraine, would easily reconcile
herself to Germany, while she would never
forcrive their loss.. But there is one aspect of
the subject on which English authority is
better than any other. Englishmen may
claim to be heard by Germans when they say
that the possession of these provinces woull
be a very serious misfortune to thoe
liberties which Germany appears to
be now sure of obtaining. Tne Germans
seem to have persuaded themselves thit they
can re-Germanize Alsace and Lorraine by
careful administration. Yet this process has
been going on for long years in the Austrian
States, and the present dangers
of the Austrian empire arise from
the fact that the attempts of the German
bureaucracy to produce a uniform political
whole have failed miserably even in those
Slavonio provinces which have no mental his
tory at all and little more than a pretence of
political history. Not even the political in
stitutions of Hungary seem to us likely to
prove material so stubborn and unmalleable
as the Urencn structure of society in Alsace
and JLorrame. we cannot doubt that tne
new provinces would have to be governed as
rosen is governed, only under vastly greater
difficulties. Now we Englishmen have a
world of experience on this subject from our
connection with Ireland. We shall never
give it up so long as we exist as a
nation, and, indeed, we should ceaso
to be a nation if we lost it. But at the same
time we cannot help feeling for the political
rashness of a nation which should take to
itself a sort of Ireland, save under pressure
of overwhelming political necessity. It is
not that nowadays we find it difficult to bo
just or generous to Ireland; the misfortune
which it entails upon us is loss of confidence
in our own political, social, and economical
ideas. But a nation like ours, old in free
dom, can find its most cherished principles
falsified in a part of its territory, and yet not
miner Halt tne injury which a similar mis
cnnige would occasion to a community
which is taking its first steps in political
liberty.
Nor need we hesitate to say that those dif
ficulties which we trust we have nearly over
came in our government of Ireland would be
aggravated tenfold in the case of the new
German provinces. The great obstacle to
success in administering Alsace and Lorraine,
ir tney remained (as we think they would;
permanently discontented, would be the
proximity of t ranee. Iranco may be iai-
mennely weakened and impoverished; but
nothing will make frenchmen cease to be a
great literary people. You may no longer
fear her armies, and yet her wit and her pas
sion may be to tne last degree formidable. It
is hard to govern a thoroughly discontented
dependency under any circumstances, but in
finitely harder to govern it under the eyes of
a bitterly critical neighbor who has the ear of
the world. However much we may recognize
the great qualities of the German people, we
cannot but see that there are many German
peculiarities which a thoroughly unfriendly
censor may succeed in so describing as to
make them contemptible or hateful. Neither
the kings nor the nobles nor the bureaucracy
nor the literary men nor the middle class are
exempt from weaknesses which it would cost
little to French criticism to make the sport
or the world. lut the great weapon of
French literature would be the aggravation of
actually existing discontent. In these days
of universal publioity there is no nation
wnicn does not sutler extreme discomfort
from the knowledge that she is suspected of
oppressing a province or a dependency.
Great Britain is singularly callous to foreign
opinion, and yet the approval of the "intelli
gent foreigner" was promised us as the chief
reward of recent Irish legislation of whioh a
good deal was not to our national taste.
Russia takes manifest pains to seem uncon
cerned as to what Europe may think of her
administration of Poland; yet the signs of
malaise may be clearly read in the affected
nationalism of ber literature and her press.
But discontents which are merely an annoy
ance to a despotically governed country, or
to a country of assured freedom, may prove
the cruellest of trials in the infancy of free
government.
MOST WE nAVE A NEW PARTY?
From the X. Y. Bun.
' In the old time the Whigs made a great
outcry against resident Jackson for bring
ing, as they alleged, the patronage and power
of the government into conflict with the free
dom of elections. The old General had rather
arbitrary notions of discipline, political as
well as military, and a disobedience of orders
emanating from competent authority was
Bummarily punished. He contended that
men in the emploj ment of the Government
could not in equity and good conscience
resist its measures. In other words, he in
sisted, not only that his Cabinet should be a
unit, but that inferior agents of the Govern
ment should not obstruct the harmonious
operations of the administration. The oppo
sition, headed by Clay, Calhoun, and Web
ster, nearly broke down General Jackson by
seizing npon this annunciation of his policy
and determination, and denouncing what was
charged to be usurpation and tyranny. The
country was electrified by eloquence steadily
poured forth in the Senate; but Jackson un
derstood the popular temper, and his strong
will and manifest honesty of purpose carried
mm triumpnantly tnrough the terrible ordeal,
Can Grant maintain himself in a similar
exigency ? Without knowledge or experience
in civil affairs, with no comprehension of the
condition or wants of the country, no apti
tude for the duties of his high office, sur
rounded by flatterers who play upon his
weaknesses and direct tne course of the Gov
ernment with reference to their own selfish
schemes, it is not surprising that his ad minis
tration should be steadily falling into con
tempt.
The President is constantly and openly in
terfering with elections in the States, and
has no hesitation in directing office-holders
now to vote, or in threatening them with re
moval in case they diuobey his orders. In
Missouri the Republicans are divided, and
Grant is bringing the whole power of the
administration to bear against the strongest
faction. Is it conceivable that the people
will submit to ims impertinent dictation i
In this State a similar oourse has been pur
sued. Senator Fenton and his fri suds have
been proscribed on aooount of their alleged
hostility to urant s desire tor a renoniination
Can the integrity of the party be maintained
upder such circumstances ? The thing is im
possible. If tne democrats nave sufficient
sense and judgment to profit by their past
experience, the way to victory is open and
easy; but they resemble the Bourbons too
much to warrant the nope -that they will act
wisely or well. Grant has broken down and
has damaged his party immensely. Of that
there can be no question. If the Democrats
fail to take advantage of the situation and
it looks as though they would it may de
volve upon the iiuii to found a new party.
In such a contingency we shall take care to
lay the foundations broad and deep, so that
the superstructure will be permanent and
wormy or this country.
REACTION IN GERMANY.
I'roiu the Chicago Pott.
It is impossible for the most enthusiastic
defender of the course of Prussia since Sedan
to deny that there are at present manifold
indications of a liberal reaction in Germany,
The first exultation of victory is over, and
considerate afterthought has calmed the ps
sions, and, joined to the melancholy argu
ment of infinite desolation and mourning,
has created an intense desire for peace.
The iron rule of what the world has been
pleased to term the most formidable military
despotism now absolutely prevails throughout
Germany, and it is, accordingly, somewhat
difficult definitely to ascertain the
exact condition of public sentiment in that
country. Such of the surface indications of
this change of sentiment as have been per
mitted to come to .us, are the imprisonment
of the eminent German liberal Jacobi for a
most able and moderate speech, the arrest of
other liberals in different parts of Germany,
the opposition, although restrained, of a con
siderable number of the national liberals and
of the ForttcJmtts party, and the German
republican protest against the annexation of
Alsace and Lorraine.
Although these malcontents would yield
to none in their devotion to the cause of
German unity, they have some very unmon
archical notions with respect to human liborty
and self-government. While they love unity
much, they fear despotism more, and can but
regret that Sedan should crown the work
commenced at Sadowa, if the consequent
gigantio centralism Bhohld prove hostile to
the development of individual freedom. That
Htu h a fear exists, the speeches and protests
above referred to show. The traditions of
the Prussian monarchy are not favorable to
an opposite view. While, as King William
himself has said, "Prussia is a State which,
beyend dispute, is, by its intelligence,
strength, and order, at the head of Ger
man civilization," there are, nevertheless,
many who believe that it is impossible that
anything like freedom should take root in any
soil trodden by the irou lioel of the Prussian
monarohy. In 18(12, in discussing the future
of Germany, Bismarck said: "The improve
ment of the condition of Germany with re
spect to its constitutional relations is both
desirable and necessary, but it can. however,
be improved, not by the resolutions of majo
rities, speeches, and the like, but only by
iron and blood." Iron has been used, and
the blood of the flower of the German youth
has been shed since 1302, with the accoin
plishment of German unity for a result, which
may mean the advancement of liberty or the
increase of despotic power.
The principal cause of opposition arises
from the conduct ot rrussia with respect to
the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine. This
dissatisfaction is best set forth in the remark
able speech of Dr. Johann Jacobi, for which
he was recently arrested at Konigsberg.
1' or these manly words Jacoby was inconti
nently sent to prison, to the great disgrace of
tne rrussian government, ine omoiai pro
test cf German workingmen is very simuar
in sentiment, and demands an immediate,
honorable peace. In addition tD this, the cry
is raised that the constitution of North Ger
many is not adapted to the new conditions of
that country; that it is the nasty and incom
plete work of 1800 thrown together merely to
secure the fruits of a sudden and unexpected
viotory: that under it excessive military du
ties are required of the people, and enormous
taxes; that it still maintains the union of
Church and State, the tax on newspapers,and
the Reverely oppressive police regulations,
and that its provisions are inimical to per
sonal liberty.
The protest with respect to the treatment
of Alsace and Lorraine is timely, but, as in
the case of Schleswig-Holstein, is likely to
remain without effect. Indeed, the summary
answer given to those suggesting such an
eminently just principle ot annexation is
ignominy and imprisonment. Napoleon, the
author of the modern doctrine of nationali
ties, always presumed as a condition prece
dent of annexation, a popular vote. This
condition Prussia agreed to accept with re
gard to the Danish provinces, and dishonor
ably broke its word, and defied the impotence
of the inhabitants of those provinces and of
the parties to the treaty. Article 5 of the
treaty of Prague provides: "His Majesty
the Emperor of Austria transfers to the
King of Prussia all tlie rights acquired by
the peace of Vienna, October 30, 18U1, over
the duchies of Holstein and Schleswig, with
the reservation that the populations of the
northern districts of Schleswig shall, if they
express by free voting a desire to belong to
Denmark, be ceded to that State. This ar
ticle Prussia has never fulfilled by offering
the inhabitants of Northern Schleswig an op
portunity to vote. Having violated this
solemn compact, Prussia does not enter into
similar engagements with respect to the
Rhine provinces, but having taken them,
has already practically incorporated them
into the Prussian monarchy, by a simple fiat
of annexation, as the duchies have been incor
porated, and, after them, Hanover, Cassel,
Nassau, and Frankfort.
Whether this reaction will in any wise in
fluence the action of the victorious Prussian
monarchy it is impossible at present to deter
mine.
