The war correspondent of the Boston Journal, writiug from Rmien, France, Bays: Versailles Is, without doubt, tne best specimen of an earthly paradise in "Middle Europe. ,? whatever may have been Louis Fifteenthis faults of taste In architecture, he had an almost passionate love for i lie beautiful in nature, and a just appreciation of it. Though he sometimes made his gardens too prim, And laid out his forests too accurately, he was In general a good gardener, lie could make the desert lilosHom as the rose, and he did at Versailles. Into the sterile plain be put life and bloom made long avenues of trees resplendent with foliage, so that one could fly out of tbo artificial ago In which the moi'arch lived, Into Arcadia. Here and there the fountains leaned sunward and statues, almost life like, ret humans to thinking that antique divinity had been enticed Into these fairy grounds once more to dwell. "Apollo's Thicket" Is just such a nest as one might fancy the god was reposing In when he caught eight of Daphne. The "King's Garden,-' old Louis' favorite promenade, and the "Queen's Walk," where the cul mination of the tragedy or the "Diamond Necklace'' took place, are only rivalled In beauty by the "Oraogeue," the bits of walk about the fountains every one acharmiug little I indues pe Vljon, and the vtewdowu the "grand alley," where the thousands gather on fete days every summer to watch the glare and glitter of the Illuminated foun tains, which even Louis Fourteenth ojuld not have Invented. Insipid as are the palaces, no one has ever yet been critical enouirh to cavil at the woods which surround the Trianon, or which stretch, seemingly boundless, far away towards Marly and Saint Germain, or towards the dozens of little vll- loiran nrlilftti miQtla nlurfiillir thnnl tlm nntil.nita n uivii " i ' i n jiiuj i uii,! aviruv ' 111.' l UI IIUUS V'l the town which has been at once the birthplace and the mausoleum or some 01 tne most splendid vani ties Europe has ever hcen. The Prussia! a had surrounded Versailles on all sides, from a distance, as early as the 18th, and the Uhlamn had confided to them the task of discover ing the condition of the town, and entering it for a requisition. The Prussians had, as usual, a very correct eBtlmute of the number and quality of the forces there, and desired earnestly to have the head quarters of one army there both for the romance and the; practical advantage of the thing. The 18th opened sunny and fair, and the Mayor of Versailles, rejoicing In bis new-found republican d'guity, was abont assembling the wise heads of the place for a parley concerning precautionary measures, when it was announced that three hussars, each of whom wore skull and cross-bones on his rap, were outside the town bold as brass and desired an immediate conversitlou with the Mavor. They were escorted up a Ions line of the "National (iuard-' (poor devils ! but few of them had puns!) and pret-euted to the aforesaid Mayor. lie refuse! to see the brave cavaliers, unless they could pre sent the authority of some general; therefore they withdrew. Knrly the next morning an aid-decamp, followe 1 by a single horseman, came again to see the "municipal authorities." He xpent the greater part ot the forenoon in conversation wish the Mayor, represented to him the uselessness of resistance; but his talk, emphatic though it was, did not have as much cil'tsct as did the thunder of the cannon, which could now occasionally be heard in the di rection of the plain of Velizy, between Versailles and Kccanx. The cannonading seemed to convince the good Mayor that there was a large Prussian army at hand ; and he had.'alniost decided to capitu laje, when suddenly arrived from the same direc tion as tha aide-de-camp a captain of engineers, also an aider the General commanding the 6ta Prussian Corps. The keys or the magazines In which provisions and fodder were stored were now Smperatlvelv demanded, and by this time cannonading was nearti on tne iarra of VilleconMay, only a short distance from Versailles. This noise came from General Vlnov's valiant attempt to defend the heights of Meudon, governing the left shore of the Seine and the forts of Vanores and Issy. The railway trains to and from Paris had been suspended the iiay before. Although the roads were not badly cut as vet. notning wouia nave temptea tne frightened employees to try one more trip to the capital. The result was that about noon the Mavor aPDeared a. before the gate at the end or the "Avenue de f arts ' ana wun tne siaiue 01 me great, mng loosing caitniy down upon him, read the text of the capitulation of tne city ana tne rorce in it.

Two comninies of United (states troops went np to Laurens and New berry to-day. The last Intelligence from the scene of action Is that seven men were killed. Two of the constabulary and four negroes were killed In the (streets of Laurens. The dimculty nag been brewing some time, fanned by the fanatical breato of Joe Crews, it came very near bursting forth on the day or the election, crews called on his militia to get their arms; they got them, bat by the time they haa aone so, there were as navy Winchesters In the hands or the whites.

The gallant Crews, after bringing on the dimculty on the day ot election, cowardly sought the protec tion ot the l ulled (States troops. Having set tne nilschiet afloat, he intended to take precious care of his cowardly carcats. He started the row to make innocent ami ignorant men sutler. They went for him, however, scoured the whole country; so far ha is still missing. There are various reports concerning huu ; some say he and his son were both killed, others that he It hid in the woods, another that he was pursued to the (Saluda tiver tired upon and wounded whilst swimming tne river, we don t believe ttiitteitner of the reports is true.

The news received here Friday evening (iws tin CVhiuibln 1'hirnix) of troubles at Laurens Court llonse, produced deep feeling in the com nunitr. The report that Governor Scott designed to send tip the two negro companies hss created mnoh ex citement, which was increased by the unusu il dis play of colored uniforms and guns on the street. About 9 o'clock 1'. M. a gentleman from Governor (Scott's oftlce brought the assurance that no colored com panics would be sent from Co lumbia. TtilB led to public quiet. We learn that Messrs. tloge and Hubbard went up to Newberry. Friday night, and remained an hour or two. We have heard of several inflammatory re marks which should be brought to n dice. One case we intend to bring forward. A gentleman Informed us thiit he heard Mr. J. B. Dennis, otherwise known as "General," say to a crowd of colored men. in reference to the ailatr at. Laurens, that they ought to take their Winchester rifles, ahd go and kill these people off, etc. etc Mr. Dennis, we believe, has some official connection with the Adjutant-General's office here. As he Is so belligerent, we hope that Governor Scott will send him, at least, to the front. A WALL STREET TKKK. Tbe Boarus "xtrmi" In Ihe Gold Roitm -The Mrmiiiora7 inline unme troves a Failure. The credulity of Wall street men more esneclaiiv of those innocents who deal In gold was nover more strikingly illustrated than yesterday. At the usual hour the Gold Room began to till up with Its ;rowd or vociferous speculators, and business went on with about the ordinary clamor of tongues. G.)ld was then selling at 111?. But at lo-o the scene Changed. Just previous to that time an unusual ommotion was heard near the door, and several of the representatives or German bankers were sum moned to consult their principals. After a whis pered conversation these genuemen plunged into the pit, and commenced selling at a llvelv rale. At precisely 1180 the murder was out A well- known operator entered the room, having in his hand a little slip or paper say two by five inches hearing, in two-line pica type, the word "ixtra." At once there was a grand rush for these extras, and in less than no time the room was full or them, and the brokers were In a state of tremendous ex citement, yelling like fiends Incarnate, and slinging their arras about with utter disregard of their neigh bors' safety. Gold dropped like a flash to HUtf, and the bear party smiled so broadly that there was dan ger of their dislocating their jaws which event migct, pernnps. have furnished ammunition for un born Samsons. 1 he extras purported to have been issued bv the rout and Commercial, and were nearly ltluntloal in expression. The rollowlng is a copy of that attri buted to the Commercial: London, Oct. 84. The negotiations which have been going on through the mediation or General Burnslde bttween Jules Favre and Bismarck were brought to a succcpsrul termination this morning, France acceding to Prussian terms with Blight modi fications. Any observant man would have seen at once. from the appearance of the slips. 'that they had not been printed in a newspaper oltlce, for they were printed on glazed paper, and worked oil' with the nicety of job printing. - At about ll o'clock the news was denied, and at 11 -10 the brokers in the room learned that it was a complete hoax, a "sell," a "go." Fortunately the discovery was made before the originators of the sell had realized very heavily, and it is doubted whether they maoe much more thaa their paper bills. The suspicions or the street point to a prominent Canadian operator, but or his com plicity in the swindle no one hasany positive proof. A. Y. Sun to-day. A DOUBLE BABY. The (Siamese Twins Outdone Extraordinary J rruk of Nature. A correspondent ol the Cincinnati Commercial writing from Delaware, Ohio, October 19, relates his marvellous story : Our community is , much excited over a freak or nature In the production or a double baby. The Siamese twins are completely overshadowed by this inlant wonder. There is living in I'eru township, Morrow county, a family named Finley. Up to last Wednesday n oruing it consisted or Air. Joseph Fin ley, his wire Mary, and two children, lttle gins, aged 3 aud 5 years. On that morning Mrs. Pmley was confined and gave birth to twins, joined together In a manner unknown to me Dooks. v nen tne gossips broneht the news of the event to our city, and gave descriptions of the child, or rather children, it was laugnea at ny me proressionai, ana pro nouueed a good hoax. A gentlemau living in the vicinity of the Finley home called on one of our physicians ond assured him that there was no exaggeration in the description, as he had seen the wonuer. Convinceu that thoro was something in ihn case, a paity of gentlemen, consisting or Drs. J. A. Little aud T. B. Williams, W. O. beamens, Pro fesscr of Natural History aud Chemistry in the Ohio Wesieysn university aua t. k. Donovan, on the lfitli instant, visited the family. Before reaching the Finley rarm the party called on Dr. A. E. Westbook, ot Afhiey, who had been called to attend the mother, and learned from him that hair had not been told. Dr. Westbrook accompanied the party. An hour's drive brought them to the place. On going to the gate leading to the yard, a written notice was discovered announcing that visitors would not be admitted. This did not deter the party, They Immediately entered the yard, and on reaching tne iront aoor oi me awemug, inoy were met oy Mr. F'luley (the father) and a gentleman who appeared to be acting as an ald-de-camp, who Informed the party that thev could be admitted to see the show on the payment or twenty-tive cents each. The Professor promptly forked over, and the party stepped in. In a ftw minutes the nurse made her appearance with the wonder. A double child was exhibited. Two perfectly formed heads, one on either side of the spinal column. To give a clear Idea of It, lust suppose that you sever the bodies of two men at the lower part of the abdomen aud then put the two upper parts together. and you have the truuk or this child. At the liuUuce or Drs. William and Little, the clothing was takeu from it, and a critical examination was made, so far as could be without doing Injury. From the occiput or one child to the occiput or the other there Is a continuous spiue, in a direct line, i pon one side. and directly in tiie centre or the trunk, were per fectly developed hips, thighs, legs, and reeU They arc in nice proportion to the body or either child. On the opposite side there Is one large, imperfectly formed ieg, presenting tne appearance c the cou. solldatlon of two legs. There are eight toes on this limb, two of which have the appearance of great toes, being much larger than the others. Each has a well-formed hea l, good features, good chest, good arms and hands, lung, heart, liver, ami stom ich. The lower portion of the bowels, the bladder, and pel haps the kldueys, are in common. All the other vl vans are separate. There was but one umbilical cord and one pla centa. The length of the body is twenty Inches, and tne umbilicus is central in tue auuoiuun, and enut distant from each head. It nurses well, atnd, when first exhibited to the party, one child was asleep and the other was crying. Wnile tue physicians were niakii g their examination, both cried, but, a few moments after, the one which was crying first went to sleep, while the other remained awak. When cither head would cry, the perrect leg which was nearest that bead kicked aud drew up, while the leg nearest the other bead remained q'Met. When either cried, the toes on the imperfect foot would move. but the limb remained siatiouary. Doth heads nurse well, aud the child, or rather children, are In excel lent neaun. u ne imysicians cuuia see no reason why It, or they, should nut live. The mother is doing well. Mr. Finley is alive to the Importance aud value of this af union to ins jaiuiiy. lie is now charging gate money, and he informed the writer that be had already entered into an article or agreement with a gentleman ior tne saie oi me uotty, n h snouja die. Price fixed is $10,000. Negotiations are In progress for the exhibition If It lives. He la convinced that there is money In it, dead or alive, but thluks there is most in the latter condition. He says that he is conscious of the fact that he "is an untamed man, but has sense enougn not to be iooiea oat of it, . SCIILESTADT.

Previous Enumerations: From 1790 to tho Present. Tlio Colonial Days. General E. M. Gregory, the United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsyl vania, has received the full returns of all the assistant marshals who were charged with the task of enumerating the inhabitants of Phila delphia, and has furnished ns with a transcript of the result. The population of the city of Philadelphia in the year of grace 1870 is set down in this table at 657,159, as follows, the population of each ward according to the census of 18C0 being given by wsy of contrast: Ward. 1S70. 18C0., Ward. 1870. 30.88 19 1062 89,13 17 80,118 19,929 18 S4.963 18C.0. 80,061 23,264 80,441 t38,888 99,963 17,16 17,173 83,98.1 23,73S 1 26,0i3 2 30,!2S8 3 19,162 4 19,673 V3.4S1 13 43,905 24,789 20 64,329 D 15,861 6 12,197 14,88i 21 14.6 7 30.68T 31,267 28 82.702 8 20,366 27,770 23 10,448 9 17.404 17.106 24 23.779 10 24,025 21.849 25 lo,669 11 15,318 16,681 26 85.425 12 14,340 1 6.6S1 27 15,875 13 20.174 20,045 28 10,451 14 22,293 24,268, 15 44,197 32,0tli Total.. 657,159 t 600,629 In lf-K th.

The Population at Different Periods. Bslow wt give a table of the population of the city at different periods. The figures since, and Including those for 1790, are taken front theoflclal census returns. Previous to that date thsy art derived from all accessible sources. The first regular eensus taken appears to have in 1777 or 1778, by ordor ot Lord Cora- wallis, who then cotmmaadad the British forces inponeesion of tha city. At this date, the enu meration showed 21,767, exclusive of soldiers and strangers. But just previous to the Revolu tionary TA'ar, the population was much larger thai this. The figures given below for 1750, 1740, and 1720 are based upon the number of taxables. On this basis, we estimate the popu lation in 1750 at 22 000, but other estimates place It at only 19,000 in 1700. The most relia ble statement that rre can devise is as follows: Inerttu in 10 I tart. rtr etiit. ltlb.S tlJ .... 1084 2,600 1700 6,000 .... 1720 8,U0 1731 12,000 1740 16,000 1760 82.00S .... 1700 19,000 1769 28, 042- 1777 21,767 173 87,0S 179 42,620 lhU 69,403 86,883 81S 1,H74 22,471 63- 28 32-34 28-74 43 13 36'56 64- 27 58 4-2 88-36 1K24 112,772 20..98 1S:10 161,410 41,633 1U0 220,423 69,013 (county). 268,037 I860 340,645 119,628 ' (COUnty).

Tbo Falsity ot tbe let urns for 1870 Is apparent from a mere glance at the above table. In the decade frou 1840 to 1850 the in crease in the old city and districts was at the rate of 54 27 per cent., and in the entire county, with which the city soon became conterminous by the Consolidation act, the Increase was at the rate of 58 42 per cent. In tbe succeeding decade, from 1850 to 1860, tho rate of increase fell to 38 80 per cent., a falling off of about one-third. But now we are told that, In tbe decade from 1800 to 1870, during which there has been every indication of the mobt rapid increase known in the history of the community, the rate of Increase has tum bled to 16 20 per cent, or two-fifths only of tho rate between 1850 and 1800. If tbe rate of In crease between 1850 aud 1800 had been main tained during the past ten years, tho population of the city would no- be 733,400, if the rate of Increase between 1840 and 1850 had been restored, the present popula tion would be about 805,000. The rate of in crease in the entire Btate in the decade from 1850 to 1800 was 25-71 percent. A few days ago we published the official returns from the 45 counties comprised in the Western district of ptt State, which showed an increase of 39 per cent, since 1800, and It is scarcely probable that the same rate has not been maintained In the Eastern district, and especially In this city. Between lav) and 1800, when the increase in the State at large was 25-71 per cent., the In crease in Philadelphia was 38 8(5 per cent.; and by analogy, tbe increase in the last decade throughout tha State being 89 per cent., the city should show a rate of about 57 per cent. But while it would, perhaps, be absurd to claim a rate of increase equal to that shown by the deeade between 1840 and 1850, there is a very, very broad margin between 05,000 and 057,159; and, taking into considera tion the rapid extension of building improve ments, the increase in the number of taxable and voters, and the unquestionable progress ef the city in every way, there can be no doubt that our present population numbers at tbe very least 800,000, and that, through the gross negli gence of Marshal Gregory's enumerators, wo oii(tnuiu frn tin aiU r
