The armv of Bordeaux is to inarch directly ou Paris. As tbe French adfance the people hasten to Join tbe ranks, and thus the army Increases rapidly in numbers.

The losses of the besiegers during the shelling of Fort Avron, Deo. 28, are re ported at 8000. The columns sent forward by Oen. Chanzey report tbat the Prussians are falling back on Paris. In a tight near Brione yesterday, a French de tachment gainod a victory over 2500 Germans. Tho Monilmr fays that a dispatch, emanating from Prussian bands, reporting that Tours had asked for a Prussian garrison, is an absurd false hood. Paris advices of December 2!Hh represent that the larger portion of tt-.a array of Frederick Charles had reached the lines of the besiegers ot Paris, and h vj joined tbem as reinforcements.

The government, considering the difficulties tbey have bad to contend with, have ell'cctcd apparent impossibilities. Nearly every where work has been suspended, but since the re public has been proclaimed, subsistence and cloth ing have been provided for the multitude, and des titute inhabitants and refugees In the outskirts cared for. The looses sustained by Oeneral Ducrot's army In the late sorties were so great as to render It no cen?a.y to reconstruct the army of Paris. General Blanchard's division has been broken op; De Mal vry's division has been transferred to the Third army, under General Vinoy. Both Generals still bold important commands. General Blanchard Is reported to be brave, determined and prudent Js'oiwltlistanding the heroism of the troop?, Ducrot and bis brother officers fear the final result of the struggle will bo unsuccessful tf this system of fight ing is continued. They favor the wily tactics of tho Prussians. A dispute is said to have arisen between the Governor of Paris and members of tho government, but no serious consequence Ib anticipated. All are actuated by a desire to save the country, whatever may be tho fate of Paris. The resignation, courage, heroic exertions and extraordinary good order of the inhabitants form one of the brightest pages in the history of France.

Further accounts from lUvre admit tbat the Prussians retook and held Bouille for a short time, but were afterwards driven back with considerable loss. Tbe French assert that the Prussians at onetime ottered to surrender, whereupon the French tire ceased, but a party approaching the enemy to re ceive their surrender, it was tired inti at point blank range, anutno battle was resumed. PENNSYLVANIA. UlsoHtroua Conllafrratlon Great Desolation Jinaiieii. IlAKBisBUKa, Jan. 1. There waa a very destructive fire at Mifflin, on the Pennsylva nia llailroad, last night. It started between Lalf-imfit 7 and 8 o'clock, in a large store house, known as the Crystal Palace, owned by James M. Sellers, of Philadelphia, in the centre ot the town. It was occupied at the time by Marcham & Zuliff for the storage of grain, etc. It is supposed to nave been tne result of spontaneous combustion in the cel Ipi among inflammable materials. It was soon disooverea mat tne names could not be stayed by means of the limited and inelncient lire apparatus in tne borougn, and a despatch was accordingly sent to this city lor assistance. Jt orthwith the Citizens and Friendship Fire Companies of this place proceeded with their steamers and hose car riages, and with tho Mount Vernon Hook and Ladder Company to Mifflin, on a special train provided by the Pennsylvania Kailroad. When they reached there the Hope Fire Com pany, of Lewistown, had already arrived, but notning could be done, owing to the want of water facilities. There were no water-plugs, the Juniata river was frozen up, and the hose waa insufficient to reach it. Tho scene was appalling. Two squares were entirely consumed, embracing some of tbenost costly structures in the town. Thirty one dwellings stores, halls, and offloes were utterly destroyed, together with twenty-nine stables and other outhouses of value. The Free Masons' Lodge Hall, two Odd Fellows' Halls, the Had Men's Hall, and the United American Mechanics' Hall were all consumed, with the Union Hotel, the principal pnblio house. The printing establishment of the lJcmocrat and Jlcgixter, Messrs. Jaokman & Ponsall, is in ruins, together with the dwell ings of the proprietors. The distraction among the people was terrible.- Tho court-house yard, embraolng a whole square, was this morning filled with furniture and household goods of every deseription, thrown there indiscriminately, without oare, in the excitement and general alarm incident to the conflagration. The streets present the same sad picture of havoc. The total loss ia estimated at $-'50,000. The Perry County Mutual Insurance Company suffer consider ably, and the Lebanon Mutual, of Johnstown. loses i10,000. The Columbia also losea heavily. Want and destitution among the citizens is the saddest result. TIIE RICHMOND FIRE. IIo One ftlaa Escaped from the Hpotawood lie (ieia Uui In a hliort Hblrt ana a fluff Ilal. The Richmond Dispatch of tbe 30th Inst, says: A gentleman wno was a truest of the spots wood Hotel at the time of the late fire writes the following nervous account of his adventures on that dreadful night to a friend In Washing' ton: ' I was awakened at 3 o'clock hy the flames breaking my windows open and flashing Into my room, l sprang to my aoor, opened n, ana me flames flashed in my face. I was obliged to slam It shut again to keep my '"eath. Then I gave nn and Lid eood-bve to earth. Then thinkiui; I would die any way, I thought 1 would try to get out. I had bome money in uy trunk; I took hold of the strap ou tbe end, opened the door, aud dashed through tbe flames. I ran through tbe fire for about four rodu, holding my breath, Then I cume to the stairs, which were burning, I leaned down and struck safely on the floor Then I ran along the hall throuirh the heat aud smoke, and when I came to the entrance I found it so full of fire I could not cro down. I then ran along another long; ball to tbe ladies' entrance, i .1 iimii I ( d it. ui'lv 1 find it i:i ti i m'S. Tli.il 1 was my lat chance." I hd dropped my truuk, and bad nothing to retard me; bo I leaped through tbe Jinnies again, lauded safely on tbe floor below, arid ran Into tbe street, dressed in a very short ehlrt and my plug hat. I had put roy hat on to save my hair from burning, but did not have time to put on my pants. Homo other fellow who was dressed caught up my trunk when I dropped It, and brought it through eafely. 1 am all sound except my feet, which were cut badly aDd bruised. I have 1 2i)0, one shirt, two pairs of drawers, one summer vest, and my 'plug' to begin business with. I lost my watch and everything books, papers, and all. It takes tbe nerve out of one in a very short time. I cannot think of it without trem bling. I am thankful I am alive. My hair, whukcrs, and eyebrows were burned." MUSIC MAD. BxtrnordlDnry franka of an Admirer of Mlliinon. A great many people have raved about Mad'lle NilssoD; poetical effusions strongly indicative of Insanity have been indited to her; ladies without number have been sick with envy about her, but nothing so painfully absurd has ever come to light with regard to her, savs the Chicago Times, as the case of one Jerome Mycr. Where and wheu the passion of Myerwas originally conclved does not appear, though it is probable that at her first concert he was seized and overcome with the dangcous malady, as shortly after that event he endeavored to see the prima donna at the Sherman House, in Chicago, but was pre vented from sodoiDg by the watchful Strakosch. since which time he has persistently pestered the employes of the office with his cards, which he desired to have sent to her. Of course, this was refused, and resulted in calling out the fol lowing note: "Hon. David Gage: I called at your house more than twenty times with notes for Wad'lle Mlsson, and your clerks would not even give me the namber of her room, or allow me to see her. I bought the Sherman House yesterday, and I wish you to dis charge every clerk, book-keeper, etc., la your ortlce, and appoint others who will treat guesta in a gen tlemanly manner. Jekomk Mvkk, "Cor. May and Wash, sts." Beside t.'ie imaginary real estate investment, he indulged ir a bonajide purchase of a hand some pair of horses and a cutter, with the in teution of eloping with tho Scandinavian song stress on Sunday afternoon. This extravagaut piece of gallantry has not yet been consum mated, however. On Sunday evening the poor lunatic called at the Sherman House and de clared his intention of taking a bath preparatory to his nuptials with the fair object of bis admi ration, and actually began to disrobe in the parlor, where several ladies were seated. This laudable undertaking, however, was not effected, beiDg interrupted by the arrival of the breath less and excited clerks, who saved their honor and the reputation of the hotel by giving tho fellow into custody.
