Occasional skirmishing takes place between small scouting parties, but of no special significance. Both sides seem to recognize each other's strength, and that the contest is to be no child's play. Bath are massing immenae bodies of troops, preparatory to active work. Each day's delay is favorable to the Prussians, who, it seerns to be generally conceded, were taken by surprise by Louis Napoleon's declaration of war, and hence were not prepared for im- mediate hostilities. 'Napoleon's delay to strike, can only be accounted for by the fact, either that he finds_grtissiabet ter prepared than he oipec7d,' or that he has been gesitating as to his own plans of the campaign. The neutrality of other nations seems to be ensued for the present Denmark, Spain, Italy, Austria, - Prussia and England, All hay ing announced a neutral policy, unless future .developments require a change. Prussia hits the sympathy of theidading Governments, the War being general ly denounced as without just cause, and due solely to Louis Napoleon's ambi tious and selfish purposes, Intense excitement has been produced in England by thepublication of a secret treaty which Louis _lc apokonis charged with proposing to Prussia in 1866, by which Frank was to recognize the right of Prussia t 4 absorb and consolidate the erman.States, on conditiOn that Prus sia transfer the Province of Luxem bourg to France and unite in an offen- SiNTand defensive alliance for the subju gation of Belgium and its annexation to France. This would havegiven France all the territory west of the Rhine.— Prussia declined the proposal. As the integrity of Belgiumls ensured by sol _ the rowers ai . e a Pirf37this pre position of Louis Napoleon, now brought to light for the first time, is regarded not only as an act of perfidy to England, but as throwing light on his presentpur pose.s. The London Times and other English journals are very severe in their denunciations of Louis Napoleon, and demand that England be at once put on a war footing. The subject was brought up in Parliament, where it was officially announced that full exTlanatiOns would lw demanded France and Prussia. TILE Conference of representatives front the minority cow4ies, which met in Philadelphia on the 12th inst., has re sulted in a call for a State Convention, to be held in Heading, on the 81st of August, to be composed of delegates ' • favorable to the movement to secure minority representation," and to consist of two delegates for each representative in the lower House of the State Legisla ture. We have received a copy of the address issued by the friends of the movement, in which the object is stated to be to-"eoncert measures to secure re presentation for minorities in all mat ters wherein they are interested.''' The principle of minority representation has of late years been gaining ground, and' we think is destined sooner or later to be generally recognized. Senator Bucka lew, of this State, has been urging it for some years with much energy, on the basis of cumulative voting, His plan is, in all cases where two or more officers are to be elected, to allow the voter to cast as many ballots as there are officers to be elected, giving all to one man or distributing them, as the voter prefers. For instance, if there be six Councilmen or other officers to elect, each voter would be entitled to put in six ballots,— lie can give one to each or six candi dates, or two to each of three men, two to one and four to another, Or all to one candidate. This would enable min orities to secure the election of one or more candidates. The system looks fair, but is a cumbrous one. Illinois, in her new state Constitution, hits adopted the general principle.. How it will 'work, re li/aillS to be seen, The propriety of securing minority re• presentation has been recognized to some extent in special legislation. In Penn- syl vania, although the law requires two Inspoctors of Elections, each elector votes for but one, thus sechring to each party a representative in the Election board. So in the choice of Jury Com missioners. Under the new Constitu tion of New York, the setae general principle was applied to the Judiciary. Although six Judges of the Supreme Court were elected, each - elector. voted for but four, the six highest being de clared elected. The result was the -choice of four Democratic and two Re publican Judges, although the former carried the State by about 80,000 maj. ority. TELE Pennsylvania State Teachers' .

A large number of special taxes are swept away. The tax on incomes will be confined to those who realize an excess of $2,000, af ter making legal deductions. Incomes up to that tunonut are exempted from taxation. Oa_ all beyond that, 21 per ', cent. must be paid. The bill repeals all the special taxes in the 79th section of the act of June 30, 1864, and as amend ed by subsequent acts, except the special - tax on brewers in that section. This repeal is not go into effect until May ISt, 1871; and its effect may be stated as follows: It takes 'off' the license taxes from the bankers, wholesale dealers, re tail dealers, lottery ticket dealers, horse dealers, livery stable keepers, brokers, wn-brokers, cattle brokers, produce brokers, commercial brokers, custom house brokers, distilfers, rectifiers, coal oil distilleries, inns and taverns, eating houses, confectioners, claim and patefit agents, patent-right dealers, real estate agents, conveyancers, intelligence, offi ria • ces, insurance agentl, auctioneers, man ufacturers, pedlars, apothecaries, photo graphers, tobacconists, butchers, thea tres, museums, circuses, jugglers, bowl ing alleys, billiard rooms, gift enter prises, stallions, jacks, lawyers, physi cians, surgeons, dentists, architects, builders, contractors, plumbers, •gas fit ters, assayers, miners, ex - pressmen and insurance brokers. None' of the fare going will have to take out licenses after May 1, 1871. The next parties relieved are the Mau:- ufacturers-who pay the tax of two dol lars on every thousand dollars of their sales over and above five thousand dol lars per annum. These taxes are re pealed after October Ist, 1870, On the sal& of all manufacturers, except in the cases Where the tax is ,now paid by stamps and except the taxes on leaf and manufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars and liquors. The stamp tax on receipts for money paid is also to be taken off after the let of October . next; and; also the stamp tax oil prothissory notes less than, $lOO, from the same date; also the stamp tax on canned and preserved fish, and• also the stamp tax for the transfer or as sigmaient P 4.

The special tax on legacies and successions and pass ports goes off at the same time IT is rather remarkable. that while the Republican press of the United States is a unit in its denunicatiou of Louis Na poleon for the crime of inaugurating needless and bloody war in Europe, and open in its expression of sympathy with Prussia—the Democratic press. either stands off or openly espopses the cause of the desperate gambler who rules Fiance and seeks to dictate to Europe. Essentially, it is a contest between a limited constitutional Monarchy repre sented in Prussia, and personal despot ism represented in Louis Napoleon—be tween a people, on one side, who gave us practical tokens of sympathy during our own-Rebellion, and an unprineiyled des pot on the other, who sought advantage of our difficulties to throttle Republican ism in America by planting zit Despot ism on our Southern frontier antagonis tic to our Government and dangerous to our future. Is it because Louis Napo leon gave aid and comfort to the Rebel lion, that the Democratic party now, out of gratitude, feels bound to espouse his PRIVATEERING cannot be adopted by either France or T'russia in the present war, they being bound Uy the t,reati of 1866, which was ratified by England, Russia, Prussia, Turkey, France, Aus tria and Sardinia.

The following are the points of this docu ment:— The preamble sets forth that the King of Prussia and the Emperor of the French, in order to strengthen the ties of friend ship between the two Governments and peoples, &c:, hereby conclude the subjoin ed treaty. In the 'first article Napoleon admits and recognizes the late acquisitions of Prussia from Austria. In the second the Prussian King engages to facilitate the French acquisition of Luxembourg. In the third the Emperor acquiesces in the union of the North and South German States, Austria excepted. In the fourth France, finding it necessary to absorb Bel gium, Prussia lends her assistance to that measure. • The fifth article' is the usual one of offensive alliance between the two nations. The above treaty was submitted' by France to Prussia about the time of the Luxembourg affair. Palm, July 25.—The Journal 011eiel of this morning contains the following declar ation: The French government hair issued orders that, in the prosecution of the war, connnanders of the French forces will scrupulously regard with respect the neu tral powers' rules of international right, and that they especially conform to the principles of the declaration of the Paris Congress of 1850, as follows: - Privateering is abolished. A neutral flag protects an enemy's merchandise, ex; cept contraband of war Merchandise of a neutral, except contraban of war, is not seizable under a foreign flag. The block ade must be effective, although Spain and the United Sraes did not adhere to the declaration of 1856. French vessels will not seize the property of the enemy when such property is xbo cargo of a Spanish or American vessel, provided it is not contra and of war. France will no longer claim the' right to confiscate - the property of Americans or Spaniards found- on board vessels of the enemy. The Journal Ofriel announces that the Minister of War has given instructions to commence putting in a state of defenoe and readiness for active service the old fortifications of Paris and forts beyond the present line of works. The Journar'also reports that, in spite of the interdiction pronoonc . 44l by tip government, certain journals continue to give taws of military movements, to the great detriment of the national cause, The government had hoped that the appeal made to their patriotism would be regarded. It will be a matter of regret if force shall be found necessary to secure a recognition of the law. - Par.'s, July 21—The number of volun teers already enrolled in France is 110, 000.

They pene trated the country several miles, and at length found the French in considerable force near the town of Gerseville, Sharp skirmishing ensued between the forces,. and the French soon rehired, leaving ten killed and wounded on the field.

LONDON, JULY 25.—The secret treaty which was projected between France and Prussia monopolises the attention here of the public and Barliament. Intense in dignation is manifested at the duplicity of the powers concerned. The action of Na poleon is considered insulting to England. Ignorance of the negotiation is professed at the French embassy. A despatch from • Brussels states that MI account of the treaty projected between Prance and Nevin which was printed in the London Times is perfect ly authentic. The Belgian government knew of its exisknce a short time ago. In the House of Lords Earl Granville, in reply so a qqcstion from Lord Stratford de Redclifre, said he was mitaide to state i where the Times Obtainedtho text of the treaty, After the afnionncenfent of the i existence of such a remarkable; document 1 it would be.the duty of France and Prus. sia, immediately and spontaneously to ex plain the matter to Europe. Mr. Disraeli, in the House of Commons to - nlight• 2(11 3 T questioning the Foreign Of fice in regard to the reporte4 trtuftli de nounced the government for withholding the correspondence on the subject. He declared England could never have tol erated such a proposition, Tkp extinc tion of the kingdom of Belgium would be a calamity to Europe. He hoped the government would give all the particulars. Mr. Gladstone said he was sorry the pa pers were not ready for submission, and that he was usable to give the inforMation required, or explain how the prlject be came public. 'lt's purport certainly was astounding. Doubtless the powers im plicated would explain the mystery. LONDON, July 25.—The people of Prus sia will observe.

On the Otber hand, Mr. Glad stone infornied the House of Commons that he expected to show that it originated with Napoleon, and was awaiting despatches from the British Minister at Berlin to con firm this statement. A despatch from Washington says that Baron Gerolt, the Ambassador of Prussia, has advices from his Government that "public opinion in England is favorable to North Germany, but the Government is not favorable.."--- Denmark has issued a proclamation/warn ing sailors and pilots, subjects of that country, against rendering assistance to the belligerents: Paris papers report that a party of Prussians making a recoil noisance near Strasbourg were repulsed by the French. The news received by way of Berlin is very meagre. The telegraph lines are closely watched by the German Government. Frankfort-on-the Main has been designated as Prussian headquarters. The French fleet recently concentrated at Dunkirk, in the Straits of Dover, has sail ed. There is considerable activity in Eng lish navy.yards. Mr. Roesing, the North German Consul General at New York, of ficially disavows the receipt of any such orders, in regard to the enrolment and forwarding of North German subjects liable to military duty, as a telegram de clared had been issued by the North Ger man Government to its foreign agents— that their passage would be paid, etc.— The Consul General announces that when ever public notice shall have been duly given of the mobilization of the North German forces, all persons liable to mili tary duty in the service of the confedera tion will be expected to return home at their own costs and charges, and shoulder their guns for the Fatherland. He has no authority to pay the expenses of soldiers from the United States to Germany, and neither Germans nor Frenchmen, under the laws of the United States, would be permitted to leave here in large bodies as soldiers.. There can be no recruiting for either Power in the United'States. TUE BHiRE FlAwsriEn. By an inspection of the map of Western Europe, and the geographical relations of France and Prussia, attention is at once drawn to three principal points, viz: the position of the fortresses which are be tween the eastern frontier of France and the line of the Rhine; the route which is naturally laid open by these fortresses to the heart of France, and the routes which connect these same fortresses with the `great centres of Germany. When the importance of these strongholds is under stood, and when it is remembered that they are in the possession of Prussia, it becomes easy to understand why France should be glad of any. pretext .to justify her in making au attempt to get control of them. As the famous Italian Quadrila teral was to the Austrians, so is this Ger man Quadrilateral to the Prussians. It enables them to repel invasion and to re sist any sudden attack; while it reserves for them a base of operations which is as favorable for them as could well be con ceived or desired. The four great fortified points were, until 1888, Coblentz, Cologne, Metz, and Luxembourg, but in that year the latter was dismantled by the Prus sians, very unwillingly, and only on the strong representation of the othei- Powers, which insisted on the fulfilment of the treaty of Prague, one provision of which was, also, the abandonment of the fortress Mentz or Mayence, which has not been complied With to this day by Prussia.— Luxembourg having been partially dis mantled, the Prussians hive since fortified grgh t illiver7sluir ti= can beplaced - in a solid attitude, and made to take the position repently occupied by Luxembourg, Mentz commands the entrance to the river Main and covers Frankfort. Coblentz commands the Moselle; while Cologne and Ehrenbreitstein command the Rhine at their respective positions. In addition to these strongholds, the Prussians have) planned an entrefiched camp at Treves.— Such is the German qUadrilateral, which is so situated, moreoier, that a Prussian army sheltered within it would be able to attack in Hank or rear a French army entering Germany through B y lden or Rhenish Bavaria; while, on the other hand, the road to Paris is comparatively uncle , fended. By way of Saar Louis, Germers heim and Landau, Prussia can launch all the forces she has accumulated behind the Rhine, between Coblentz and Mentz, di rectly upon the feeble points of the French frontier btsr.C2P S4aoNOtk• anti Mentz, leaving Alsatta isolated by the Vosges, and turning Aleuts by the route through Nancy, she may march direct upon Paris. It should not be forgotten that Coblentz is connected with Mayence by a double line of railway on either side of the Rhine, and ggit Cologne is also connected with Coblentz by railway and hy ate Rhine it self; 4 1 4 troops can be sent to Germendreim by two different rail ways, and that the flue which runs from Sarr-Louis divides into two branches, the ode leading to Mayenoe and Coblentz the other to Germersheim and Landau. And further, that a line has been completed three.fourtirf Of the way liiregt (rem Nu , enoe to Landau, and Wm are in progress direct from Coblentz to Treves, and from Cologne to , the same place. From all this it IS eyhient that Prussia has been PreParluil. Looking at OerulaTtY, we find railways uniting the three gates of the, Rhine,. Cologne, Coblentz, and Nay ence, with Berlin, Dresden and Cassel, the centres of the North German Con. federation. The ordinary garrisson of what has here been called the German Quadrilatero f 8 pimp:pall r t f 0.47.404. battalions of infantry, with cavalry and artillery in proportion, and It can be doubled in brief time, by drawing troops from the 'adjoining military centres, In a few days, by drawing from Berlin and Draeden the troops accumulated there, 800,000 men can be massed behind the Rhine, between Cologne and kfayence,, and 200,000 can be sent to the fortresses which form the salient points of this vast encampment. Therefore, unless the Frame)} yefy ripi4 in their movements .they will be imposed to a flank Week, Pt! Matter which route they take. Times are changed since 1799 and 1806, when Prussia was ruled by timid princes, and her armies were mismanaged by in competent men like the Duke of Bruns wick. So far as can be at present known, the emnbgtanin meet on nearly equal terms, the Finu!illazie, however, Laving the advantage 44 to position. Should the war last any time, it will render more than ever apparent the fact that the neu trality of Belgium is a source of Inc* venience, if not of danger, to France.

The range of the needle-gun is from • one thousand two'hondred to one thous and four hruidred yards. 2. The movements of loading are ex ecuted with the right hand, as follows: An upward stroke with the palm of the right hand against the chamber knob opens the breech, the cartridge is inserted into the cavity of the barrel, a push. forward and a downward stroke of the chamber knob with the right hand close the breech, and another push on the needle chamber (with its spiral spring) completes the load ing, and the rifle is ready for "Fire."— During the whole movement the gun is held with the left band at a "ready."' 3.' The gun is never loaded or reloaded while, at "aim," simply because it is im possible to do so. 4. The powder is not ignited at the'rear end of the cartridge, but next to the ball, where the igniting matter is placed in a kind of socket of papier mache; and this is what gives more power to the ball, the powder burning from the front to the rear. 6. The cartridge is made ,up ball in front, ball socket with igniting matter, powder. The shape of the ball resembles the shape of a cucumber, and is called long lead (lung bki). 6. The recoil of the gull is only felt when it becomes very much heated and the air chamber filled with the refuse of powder. When clean no recoil is felt at all. 7. In ease the needle should bivalc or bend or otherwise become useless, a new one can be inserted in less than five sec conds; each soldier carries an extra supply of about six needles. It is not much the superiority of the needle-gun over other breech-loaders which has secured, and in all probability will in the present, struggle secure, success to the Prussian army, as it is the thorough edu cation of each individual soldier and his perfect familiarity with his weapon. The needle-gun was first used in Prussia in 1848 and 1849, in Baden and Schleswig, and not having been deemed effective without an entire change of tactics, and especially of skirmish instruction, was al most condemned. The Prussian army has but one calibre for all small arms, so that infantry or sharpshooters can be supplied with cart ridges from any cavalry, pistol or carbine cartridge wagon. THE CHASSEPOT RIFLE, Which - is regarded as the most formidable weapon ever put into the hands of a sol dier, resembles the Prussian needle-gun, but possesses several improvements. Du ring the late war between Prussia and Austria the effective work of the newly in vented needle-gun attracted the notice of all fighting nations; and the French an ticipating that they would some time be called upon to encounter Prussia on the field of battle, immediately set to work to invent a weapon that should surpass the needle-gun in its power as an engine of ' war. The result was the inventiottrby 3L Chassepot, after long and careful study, having the Prussian gun to aid him and improve upon. After the new rifle had been tested over and over again, the at tention of the Emperor was invited to it, and it was not long before he was con vinced of its superiority, and ordered its adoption in the army. One of the principal improvements which the Clniasepot has over the needle" gun is that the movement is simpler, and instead of being tightly enclosed in the breech by a cylinder, it is almost fully ex posed. The employment of India rubber as an obturator is also another novelty.— It is argued that the needle-gun, after it succession, Becomes hot and damp in the chamber, owing to the inability of the gas which comes back after the explosinn of the cartridge to escape, The inside soon becomes dirty, and the soldier is requited to take his piece apart and clean it. The Chassepot is only open, and while there is r 9 gas shut up in a chamber to corrode the metal, it can in a moment be cleansed from dirt or rust, and the soldier is always able to quickly to discover any accident to his weapon. It is alai) claimed that the Chassepot is not so easily clogged as the needle-gun, and Is more substantially built. There is an opening on the right hand side of the chamber for the insertion of the cartridge. The chamber is filled by a movable cylinder, which may be moved back or forward by a handle. The cylin der surrounds ipe shaft and revolves around the ram: it contains the spring by which the needle is propelle4, Pie rear ett4 . 4 814 Inaiie shape of a beadle, The sring is compressed when the handle is drawn back. A shoulder on the shaft comes in contact with the cylinder when the arm is at rest. When loaded and ready for firing the two parts are drawn asunder. The shaft also serves to protect the needle, which is ow roringedfurcet}out of the front end of the shaft es soon as the trigger is pulled. After the cartridge has been inserted the knob is pressed forward and is then laid over to the right band side. The aperture is then closed. By the first of these two movements the cylinder is moved forward, thereby forcing the cart_ ridge into the breechi the second move. merit securea the cylinder so that it oan be thrown back by the force of the explosion.

THE WAR-STRENGTH OW ERWLAND As England has evinced a disposition to pitch into the war between France and Prussit‘nn the slighest pretext, it may be interesting to examine her military and naval resources, so as to be enabled to form a tolerably exact opinion of the weight she might have iu the scale in case a general European war, which would cer tainlSr follow any interference on her part ,in the present contest. We are indebted to the Buffalo Express for the following sta tistics: "There are At the prmut moment in the United Kingdom, belonging to the regular forces, setenty,nue bAttalions of infantry, twenty-four regiments of cavalry, ten batteries of the Royal horse artillery, and siltty-seven batteries of field and gar rison artillery; the whole making a total of about 85,000 men. The armed and uni formed militia muster 125,000 men, and the volunteers 'nearly 200,000 more. To these must be added the armed pensioners - - • strength we have no means of correctly ascertaining. Without these, however, there is thus shown a total of N 11 3 ,400,000 men, the 'regular' force of whom are in a state of discipline inferior to that of no Continental army, and all of whom have had a very considerable, amount of train ing. The white troops in India amount in numbers to about 30,000, of course exclu sive of a large army composed of natives. The remainder of the regular army is scattered;throughout the various colonies and dependencies, but the aggregate strength of those thus stationed is to-day inconsiderable, and no eircumstame is likely to arise to induce their re-call. The R4al Navy consists of upwards of of forty first-claw iron-clads in commis ' sion, manned by 20,000 seamen, nearly all of which force could be put to sea at twenty-four hours' notice. , The geet now cruising in the Englisk Citqamel eoughlte of nine jrcprela4s, including the Monarch, the Captain, and other ships of nearly equal Power. Fifteen more are under orders to Join them immediately. BLx other iron-clads are cruising in the Medi terranean. The North American squad ron consists of six iron-clfuls, and of t wenty three other war steamers, the whole carry ing ithent 4 5 0 gtPle: These tames by no means represent, however, the whole naval strength of Great Britain, but simply that portion which is at the present moment on active service. Its entire force may, how ever, be to some extent gathered from this statement." From this statement of luilitary and naval strength it will be seen that Great Britain, although she has lost some of her former prestige, is still a mighty power both by land and sea, and that whichever side she espouses in the the struggle, will have a powerful ally, _ Tam PRETTINAT WOMAN IN NEW Yortx.
