So in every company, the men prompt ly obeyed every order but this one; am that, not one man obeyed. Not a word not even a defiant look accompanie , their disobedienee ; they simply stool like so many statutes and moved not muscle in answer to the command. The captains threatened, begged and some swore ; and neither their auger no their humility had the least effect upon those seven hundred determined Dalt. About half an hour Of unavailing effort, des 12airing, of aceomplishing anything themselves, the commandants repaired to the Colonel's tent, and astounded him with the news that his regiment was ill open mutiny. lie listened with angry impatience to the particulars they ga ve him, and then hastened to buckle on his sword. " Come with Ine," he said. "By hea vens, I don't think they'll fail to obey when I give them the order." He was mistaken; as much so as the' Captains had been before hint. The line stood motionless beffind the stacks when he reached the parade; and ordering the officers to take their places, he took his own, in front of the centre. Draw ing his sword, he shouted, in the voice that no man in the •,regiment had ever yet disregarded : " Take—aims !" And still not 0 man obeyed. 'The Colonel was profoundly excited ; more' yo than he haffibeen sine: he drop ped ins plough-handles and mounted one of the plough-horses to raise his regiment, on hearing of the President's proclamation. lie began by inviting the ringleaders to step out and inform him of the object of this mutiny. The ringleaders wisely remained in their places in the ranks; but half a dozen Ztie XanixOteit slttelligat?et VOLUME 71 voices, in which no individual was dis tinguishable, cried out: " We want pay and clothing, like the other regiments. " You shall have both," the colonel eagerly responded. " Only take arms and return to your duty, and I will im mediately represent your grievances at headquarters." A tumult of answering cries followed his words, uttered in anger, derision, and incredulity. " It's all work and no pay with us." " We're the ragged scarecrows of the brigade." " We've heard that story before." " Tell that to the marines." "No pay, no muskets." "Attention!" shouted the colonel; and the regiment instantly came back to silence and position. Thereupon the colonel made an earnest and impassionate harangue of, fifteen minutes, while dozens of curious spec tutors from the neighboring regiments stood about viewing the extraordinary scene. Ile promised the men he would give his personal attention to their grievances until they were redressed ; he represented to thein that their muti ny would certainly be ineffectual for the purposes they sought; and he begged them to save the good name of this reg iment from the disgrace with which their disobedience threatened it. Hard ly doubting that his address would pro duce the desired effect, lie concluded it with the repetition of the command : "Take—arms'" Each and all stood like a rock ; and not a single hand moved toward the muskets. The mutiny was becoming serious. Fur more than an hour the entire regi ment had stubbornly refused to resume their arms, and the persuasion and authority as well of the commanding officer as of the line had fallen idly up- MI their ears. The excited colonel or dered," Ireak ranks," which was quiet ly obeyed ; and calling for his horse, he rode offon a gallop to brigade headquar ters. (Mr brigadier had come from the reg ular cavalry to itegript his command in the volunteers; and he was (lilt' of the Lunt disciplinarians that \Vest l'oint ever gave to the army. Ile was muell past the middle age, and had seen ardu ous :and distinguished service in Mexico and the NV(-at. Ile was a man of medium heignt, or perhaps something above it, with hair dashed with gray, sandy whiskers and moustache, a massive forehead, and face with the wrinkles of service, and bushy eyebrows, overhang ing a pair of keen, incisive eyes. Ili; presence washabituallystermsomewhat forbidding; the habitual expression of his face was (lie of determination. Yet he had one oldie kindest of hearts, and his vommands invariably learned, be fore he had done with them, that, their comfort and safety were at all times the objects of his anxious solicitude.

Ile listened atten tively to the details of the mutiny as the volonel gave them, and when the latter had linishol, he said: "ThOy NVoll't take arms—ell " No, sir, they won't.

The colonel rode away, not very easy hr mind, and wondering what wits about to happen. The general ordered his horse and called in his aides. "(let up your horses immediately. Captain , ride over to Captain give him my compliments, and tell him to bring a section of his artil lery to the camp of the the On ton agan Infantry—immediately! Lieuten ant , hasten to Colonel Colonel of the brigade), and tell them, with my compliments, to march theircommands, under arms, to the same place. You will accompany them there." A few moments later the men of the rebellious regiment, gathered into knots in the company streets and about the parade, and conferring in whispers to gether, saw the ge neral, followed by a single orderly ride through the camp back to the colonel's tent. Some of them saw from a distance that the officers were formed in a single line in front of the tent, with the field officers on the right, the captain next, and the lieutenants on the left. The General dismounted, and taking a brief survey of the faces before him, turned to the colonel. "Sir," he said sternly, " do you refuse to perform duty!" " No, sir! „ was the emphatic answer. Ile turned to the line, and passing down it, addressed the same question to each officer, beginning with the lieu tenant-colonel and ending with the last subaltern. One and all unhesitatingly gave the saute response as the colonel. " Now, sir," said the general to the latter, "get your men in line. I'll quell this outbreak in ten minutes. And then he added the same remark that the officers of the regiment had made: "We shall see if they'll disobey me." The assembly was sounded. The emm panics formed in their streets, and were marching to their places in line behind the stacks. The faces of the men were grave and serious, but generally showed no abatement of purpose. That purpose was,it was afterward con reS,:ed,llat to re sume their arms until the paymaster and the quartermaster should have ac tually visited them and given them their dues if pay and clothing. ISM in many of these laces there was :inxiely :is well as determination visible, and all, officers null mn, awaited the general's proceedings with such feelings as had never before been there. They had not long to wait. Two regi ments of the brigade marched upon the ground, and under the direction of the aides were formed in a long line, facing the mutineers, at shouldered arms, per haps seventy yards distant. Captain --, with two pieces of artillery, came up before the formation was finished, and by similar direction one piece was posted upon each flank of the line in such a manner as to enfilade an entire wing of the mutineers. For half a minute after these ominous disposition there was an awful It was by the yoke of the general in the stern command : " Load! The long line of muskets went to the ground with a shock, and the ringing of rummers in the barrels, and the thump ing in the bore of the cannon, sent a thrill to the nerves of those who looked and listened. " Load with grape," was the com mand to the artillery. Then followed the orders : " heady!—Aim !" The aspect of the scene when the gen eral rode between the lines, pausing in the centre and facing the mutineers, was such as mig,lit well have carried ap prehensions to the stoutest heart. At least one thousand bright musket bar rels were levelled, ready for the word that would hurl their deadly contents into the breasts before them, while upon either flank was a field-piece charged with grape, the gunner standing lan yard in hand, only waiting for the word to belch out destruction upon the mis guided men. "Let the officers retire behind the brigade," the general commanded. They did so. " Men of the regiment," he said, in stentorian tones, "listen to me ! I shall not stop now to inquire why you have disgraced yourselves and the com mand this morning by disobedience to your officers. I shall merely give you one order. If you obey, well ; if not— you will have no other chance. In that case, I shall move to the rear of the bri gade, and then—by the living God, I will blow eTery man of you to destruc tion?" He looked the threat, as well as ut tered It ; and then, in a voice of thunder, lie gave the command ; " Take—Alois !" It was done on the instant. Never did the regiinent execute that order in better time; the stacks were broken, and the mutineers, stood frightened out of their folly, again stood with shoul dered arms. The whole command was brought to an order; and the general, speaking with difficulty from the emotions of the moment, addressing the regiment with such kindness a .9 brought tears to the eyes of many a tall soldier. He briefly pointed out to them the magni tude of their act as a military offence, and made them understand that muti ny in any army can never result in any thing but discredit, or worse, to those who undertake it; aud he reminded them that the cause in which all were engaged was most injured by such acts of subordination. Their causes of com plaint were just, he said, and if their ollicers were in fault they should be punished for it. " Full justice shall be done to you, and speedily," he said; " but in future, never let me hear from you in this way. There arc other and better ways to correct evils in the ranks lan this:" He left the ground with the respect nd affection of every man there; but his interview with the officers, which immediately followed, was of a different character. Addressing himself to all, but more particularly to the colonel, he gave them an excoriating lecture upon their carelessness and gross neglect of Om interests of their men, " I should be glad to think," he con cluded, "that none of you are troubled with incompetency as well us careless ness. You are all of you to blame in this matter; nothing of this kind ever happens unless the ollieers are in fault. I give you distinctly to understand that if anything of this sort ever ovens here again, I'll court-martial every one of lie never had eecasiell to execute the threat. The regiment was paid up and clothed within a week; and from this time for ward every man and every officer of it made it his particular duty to ellace the stigma coat upon the regiment by this afrair. That they succeeded, the records of the arduous campaigns and bloody battles in which it bore a heroic part, and which are written in the history of their country, will attest. France In IMI I How the Allies Entered Pnris. Although the " Spanish ulcer," as Nap)leolll! , naparte himself termed the Peninsular \\'ar, unquestionably sapped his military strength to a considerable extent, his downfall and the capture of Paris are more directly traceable to the lisastrous campaign in Russia. Of an irmy of more than half a million of not one-tenth part surviving the lorrors of the retreat from Moscow, re- reutel throuvli Prussian tui:ritury, pur- sued by the victorious Russians, in the spring of This had the ultimate effect of emancipating Prussia from the control of Franco. s ,, ince the Battle of Jena, Prussia had sull'ered every indig nity at the hands oilier conqueror. I [or territory had been divided. Thu list requisition of money imposed upon her after her great defeat, amounting to ,i' , 130,000,000, had been vigorously :old mercilessly enforced. 'rho vast armies of Napoleon had been quartered upon and marched across her fertile valleys and had devoured and destroyed the ac- cumulations and means of subsistence of large sections of the country, utterly impoverishing the unfortunate inhabi tants. I The people had begun to doubt the wisdom if their king in submitting to a despotism which already inflicted greater exactions upon its forced allies than injuries upon its open foes. rpon the expectation that a rebellion against the alliance and yoke of France would be attempted, the people of Prussia hailed theoccupationollferlin Ify the ltm , sians, regarding the latter as deliverers front French oppression ; and throughout Prussia, with an outburst of patriotic ardor, the people dew to arms. A cold ness was manifested by Napoleon to- ward the King of Prus,:itt because of this attitude of the subjects of the latter; Napoleon did not believe in the expres sions of good faith on the part of King William, and alienated the King's friendship by the expression of Ids sus picions. The King took offense at last, and thus was precipitated a treaty be tween Prussia and Russia that formed the nucleus of the Great Alliance which, when ultimately cemented by defeats as well as victories, clustering the ar mies of all Europe upon French soil, broke the power of France and destroy ed the empire of Napoleon. The battle of Leipsic, itself a victory consequent upon the growth of the alli ance, may be regarded in sonic respects as the first step of the advance of the al lies upon Paris. The battle of Hamm, which followed a few day 4 after that of Leipsic, was the last battle fought by Napoleon beyond tile Rhine. The cam paign which thereafter ensued in the early months of 1814 when the armies on either side of the Rhine had enjoyed short rest and recuperation in winter quarters, has many features in common with the present war, as well in the lo cality of the operations as in the proba ble ultimate results. To trace in detail the various steps by which principally daring the year 1.413 the Great Alliance was formed, would require the narration of the entire history of Europe during one of her most eventful years. Suffice it that the gravitating force which at tracted the nations to the alliance grew with its accretions, and to Prussia and - Russia there were eventually added Sweden and Austria; Bavaria and the other German States, even Saxony, be- I ing forced in; Naples and Denmark yielded to a species of necessity, while its numbers were swelled by the Span ish, Portuguese, Dutch and English, the last bringing, in addition to munbers, the " sinews of war." The plan of that campaign, like that of the present year, consisted in the ad vance of three armies upon France. The "grand army" under Prince Schwartzen berg, 250,005 strong, advanced through . Switzerland (with the permission of that State) by the passes of the Jura Moult , tains into France. Blucher's "Army of Silesia," 140,00 strong, moved by • way of Mayence, merely blockading that town, into the "Champagne country." Bernadotte had . therArmy or the North," 175,nn0 strong, and passing through Flandors, was to besiege Antwerp, reduce the Low Countries or secure their alliance, and enter France from the ex treme north. The grand. arm y and Blucher's army of Silesia crossed the Rhine in December, ISId. The prin- eipal portion of the grand army swept with a wide front through Lorraine, its extreme right wing in its movement touching or limping the southern edge of the path which in the present war has been selected Inv the army of the M=AMEMM== Mahon at Woerth, and thus passed into (lie plains of Burgundy, endangering the city or Lyons. liltieher's army left large detachments to mask or reduce Mete, Saar Louis, Thionville and Lux emburg, and pushed his advanced forces to Vitry and St. Dizior. Napoleon was prompt ill' providing to meet the impending dangers. Ile left an Empress Regent and an infant son in Paris, and went forward on the 2.5 th of January to the headquarters of his army at Chalons. The next day he advanced to Vitry, and on the follow ing morning, resuming his march, lie met and defeated a portion of Blucher's forces at St. Dicier, cutting in two Blucher's army, whose headquarters had at the time advanced beyond, about 2S miles southwest, to Brienne. The next day Blucher narrowly escaped being crushed by the sudden onset of the forces which Napoleon hurried to Brienne. By the first of February Schwartzenberg and Blucher had join ed their forces. In the battles of Illien ne and Ea Rothiere, Napoleon was for the first time defeated on the soil of France and retreated to Troyes. Instead of promptly pursuing Napo leon, the allies, who were embarrassed about the the subsistence of such large forces, divided their armies again.— Prince Schwartzenberg in a leisurely way—for it was winter, and the roads were in a frightful condition—started for Troyes. Blucher directed his forces toward a point about half way on the road from Chalons to Paris. Napoleon left a small force as a feint of defense at Troyes to serve as a scare-crow to Schwartzenberg, and, by a forced march over a rugged district, struck Blucher's forces on their road to the river Marne, defeating them detail at ‘CheinPau bCrt,'Mbritniirail, grid Vanchamps in a ocality from thirty to thirty-three miles west of Chalons. Meanwhile Schwart zenberg marched slowly into Troyes, thence to Nogent, Bray, and Mori tereau, sweeping everything south of Paris, and producing great, alarm in that capital.— Napoleon, spurred by the exigency, marched his forces westward between the Seine and the Marne, and striking the flank of Schwartzenberg's advance LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 2L IS7O along the former river, defeated detach ment after detachment, in detail, until Schwartzenberg became thoroughly alarmed, asked an armistice, and re treated back to Troyes. The battle of Montereau, in which the Prince of Wurtemberg was defeated, was the last battle Napoleon ever won; but for a while his star was in the ascendant,and in the councils of the Allies a retreat beyound the Rhine was under consid eration. At last a portion of the " Army of the North," which had not met with suc cess at Antwerp, added its weight to the allied forces operating in France. Its 'advanced guard, under Wiuzengerode and Bulow, directed their march towards Paris, passing through what is now the Department of the Nord, capturing in their course, with extraordinary rapidi ty, the cities of Avesnes, Laon, 6ois sous, and Rheims, and opened commu nication with Blucher at Chalons, who was busy recuperating his shattered forces. But the proposed retreat of the grand army required Blucher's presence at Troyes with Hchwartzenberg. The grand army retreated beyond Chaumont on the way to Langres, but, fortunately, it was decided at a council of war to lib erate Blucher from their movements, and to permit his army to co-operate with that portion of the army of the North which had advanced into France. Blucher was to follow the River Marne ; ScLwartzenberg, if he advanced again, the Seine. This measure turned the scale of success. Napoleon followed Blucher, who start ed for the same point, between Chalons and Paris, on the road to which he had before been so unfortunate. But this time he got to the right bank of the Marne, at Meaux ; and when the Em peror reached its left bank at that placd, it was but to find the bridges demolish ed and the rear guard of the army of Silesia fast disappearing over the dis tant hills. Blucher had heard of his approach while Napoleon was yet at Sezzanne, and succeeded in reaching Soissions in safety. A series of battles and severe engagements between Napo leon's forces and Blucher's army of Si lesia, reinforced by the large detach ment; of the army of the North under Wiuzengerode and Bulow, took place in the vicinity of Laon, Soissons and Rheims. Separately these battles were indecisive, but they continually weak ened Napoleon. Ile was, moreover, in perpetual fear of the advance of Srhwartzenberg with the grand array, which, returning from its proposed re treat, passed again through Troyes. At length he found it necessary to cross Lire Marne to meet it. After an inde cisive engagement at Arcis-sur-Aube, Napoleon undertook to get behind Echwartzenberg and strike Iris line of communications in the rear. 'Phis movement of Napoleon threw "pen the road to Paris by way of Se ' zanne to the grand army of Schwartz enberg, and they seized the advantage. Blucher came down from the north at the same time, to strike a large portion of Napoleon's army that wire marching to join him in his endeavor to strike the rear of the grand army. This part of Napoleon's army was met and utterly defeated at litre Champenoise, and its broken fragments fled to Paris. The allies crossed the Marne near Meaux on the 28th of March, there completing the union of the three armies, and on the morning of 311th Isll, appeared before the barriers of Paris. The citizen-soldiers of Paris were of little value for defense, as Napoleon hail never allowed them the use of arms.— Such forces as could he collected were hurried to the front outside the city. Active fighting commenced before day- . light, and a tremendous battle took Mace, in which the allies, according to some statements, lost no less than eigh teen thousand men. At length the vast forces of the allies began to be collected upon the hills surrounding the town.— They formed a crescent of six miles around the north and cast sides of Paris, the extremities on either side touching the Marne and the Seine. The French army, convexly curved within this cres cent, fought in vain against overwhelm numbers, and were forced back about noon upon the city, withdrawing within the barriers only when the order to stop tiring was given, preparatory to capitu lation. The hills overlooking Paris were now densely crowded with the victors, while three hundred pieces of cannon were ready, as the Russians expressed it to make "Father Paris pay for Mother Moscow." in accordance with the Instructions left by Napoleon, in the event of such a disaster, the Empress and her infant son left the city, taking the road to Itambouillet. u inhabitants of Paris were plunged into sadness by her de parture. Strange to say, when the city had capitulated tiny prepared to receive the conquerors with acclamation. A crowd insulted or destroyed the busts and monuments of Napoleon I, and en- deavored unsuccessfully with a rope to pull down his statue from the column in the Place Vendome. Failing in tile latter undertaking, they wrapped it in a sheet—in order, said ::.s:apoleon, on hearing of it, " that I might not look upon their baseness." The Emperor Alexander afterwards felt obliged to issue a proclamation to stop the demoli tion of the monuments of Napoleon. The next morning, the Allies, enter ing in procession, found the streets thronged, the windows and housetops crowded with the citizens anxious to witness the great military spectacle.— No eflbrt had been spared to give the "pomp and circumstance of glorious war" to the occasion as far as the Al lies were concerned. Uniforms had been brought by the household troops of the Emperor of Russia, kept clean and dry in their knapsacks, with the expectation of making a display on this occasion, and these were carefully put in order. Of course, the sovereigns themselves were decked out with unu sual care. Paris, ever alive to the ele gance of a spectacle, went into raptures over ,the magnificence displayed, and applauded the victorious host, and es pecially the monarchs, with the wild est,,enthusiasm. The Emperor Alexan der lord on his arm a white scarf, which he had previously worn as a distinctive badge in battle. The Ring of Prussia rule it his right, and Prince Schwart zenherg on his led, a brilliant stair fol lowing them. A group of " loyalists," who since morning had been perambulating the streets of Paris with a white banner, Ina tin , sovereigns with enthusiastic cries of " 'iv , ' Lois Dixhititicinc! fire .4/<.randrr ! Guillauine ."' Large numbers of elegantly dressed ladies waved their handkerchiefs in welcome, as one of their countrymen says, " with the passionate vivacity of their sex," from the hotels in the finest quarters of the city. In the Boulevard de la Mad eleine, people stepped up and respect fully kissed the trappings of the horses sabres, and the boots of the sovereigns. Fifty thousand chosen troops of the Si lesian and grand armies, with their trains of artillery, made the bulk of the procession. Nothing was more re marked than the admirable state of good order and equipment of the men and horses. The procession entered by time gate",,tuid crossed tire Faubourg of St. Martin, made the circuit of half of Paris by the interior boulevards, and halted in the Champs Elysees, where the Cossacks bivouacked for the night. During the next day, April 1, Talley rand called together the Senate. The day following, the Senate received the Emperor Alexander, and on the 3d April passed decrees for a provisional govern ment and dethroning the Emperor, who, without an army, and almost without attendants, had reached Fontainebleau too late, if indeed it had been possible under any circumstances, to save his capital. In the formal treaty with Na poleon which the allies made a few days afterward, upon his signing an abdica tion renouncing the empire of France and the kingdom of Italy for himself and his descendaats, it isnoticeable that he was nevertheless permitted to retain the title of Emperor.

Sayler has accepted the Democratic nomination for Congress In the:First Ohio District. The Fortifications of Paris. The late Prussian successes make the safety of Paris the decisive question of the war. Paris being the political heart from which France receives nearly all her vitality, she naturally regards its capture by an invading army asher death blow, and concentrates all her energies in putting it in a state of com plete defense. The occupation of Paris by the Allies after the disastrous battle of Waterloo in 1815, was the natural consequence of a defeat which seemed to paralyze France and leave her at the mercy of her enemies, but its successful and almost bloodless accomplishment wits due to the unprotected state of the French Capital. The combat at Mont martre was short and bloody for it was evidently not intended as anything more than a show of resistance which the French army considered due to its honor before the foe could crown his victory by the final conquest of the Cap ital. Since the days of Wellington and Blucher vast changes have been wade in the French Metropolis, aud to such an extent was it fortified prior to the Revolution of '4S and under the Minis- try of M. Thiers, and later, during the reign of Napoleon lEI., that the loss of a dozen 'Waterloos by France would still . . leave Paris securea.gainst capture should Preach energy survive a series of disas- era in tho field The topography of Paris and its en virons presents very varied features.— The original city, the Lutetia of ancient Gaul, was built on a small island formed by the branching of the Seine into two channels, and was evidently chosen by he inhabitants on account of the seeur- ty afforded by its insular character.— Ilk island is the centre of modern Paris, the city having grown around it equally on all sides. The channels forming the island are abridged at many points, completing the communications through the heart of the city. The Seine, as it approaches Paris from the Southeast, is very tortuous, and becomes especially so after leaving the city on the western side. Islands similar in character to that on which the ancient city was built dot the channel, and in many cases render navigation rather difficult. Among the principal islands may be mentioned (1) Ile St. Denis, near the town of that name ; ('.2) Ile de la Grande State, opposite Courbevoie ; (3) Ile du Pont, across which is thrown the causeway and bridge of the Route Imperiale de Paris a Cherbourg • (41 Ile de Puteaux, (5) Ile Sequin, and (6) Ile de Billancourt, near Sevres, so famous for its porcelain. These islands lie west of the city, and arc in Home Instances covered with buildings. The junction of the Seine and the Marne occurs about one Mile from the city, on the south-eastern side. The latter river, like the Seine, is very tor tuous, and has many small islands along its channel. Numerous villages dot its banks. Of those in the immediate neighborhood of Paris, may be men tioned Neuilly-snr-Marne, Nogent-sur- fame, Champigny-sur-Marne, neuil-sur-Marne, Creteil, and St. Maur les Fosses. Immediately north of the confluence of the two rivers extends the celebrated Bois de Vincennes, with its immense castle, and fortified barracks, and magnificent forest. To the north east of the city, and on the great road from Paris to etz and Mayence, lies the Forest of Bondy, well known in connection with the history of the Fronds capital. In like manner, to the west and south-west, are the Bois de Boulogne and the Pare de St. Cloud, the former on the left bank of the River Sellle, and the most popular resort of the citizens of Paris, as it is close to the City and elegantly ornamented, the lat ter on the right bank, and about two miles outside the fortifications, sur rounds the Palace of St. Cloud. The villages and towns outs' the enceinte are St. Denis, Clichy, villiers, La Courneuve, Drancy, 0- bigny, and Bondy on the north. Noissy le Sec, Villemomble, Rosny-sous-Bois, Romainville ' Montreuil, Fon teuay sous-Bois, and Charenton-le-punt ou the west, with Ivry, Vitry, Arce uil Bayrceux, Montrouge ' I.sy, Vannes, andllellevue on the south. Sevres, Courbevoie, and Co- lumbes on the west. Between the bar riers and the enceinte are titanium!, Meuilmontant, La Villette, and Montmartre, all close to the city, and forming a part of the great metro polis. Montmartre occupies the most commanding, position in the neighbor hood of Paris, and was the scene of the last struggle between the troops of Na poleon I. and the Prussians under Illu• cher. The country on the eastern side of Paris is undulating; a ridge shelters the north and east sides of the city, while the center is nearly level. A glance at the map shows the position of the de tached forts, which occupy the summits of the high ground, particularly on the east and south sides. MAIN I:i)ADS AND RAMA:MAD: , LEADING BE= From all sides of Paris branch the great roads laid down by the Imperial Government to every part of the em pire. Tliesai roads are laid out strategi- cally, with a N'it2iv of connecting the capital with other important points in the country, as well as of controlling the approaches to Paris on all sides. Places of importance, such as Strasbourg, Metz, Cherbourg, Toulon, Marseilles and Ly ons, are connected with Paris by direct main roads, and in all cases these roads are made to pass under the guns of the fortifications, besides being covered and commanded by the series of detached forts that crown the eminences in the vicinity of Paris. In like manner the railroads are so carefully located as to be completely protected by the fortifications. The main line of the Chemin de fer du Nord pa6SeS through St. Denis after leaving Paris, and is unapproachable by an enemy until it enters the open country to the north, being protected on the west side by the River Seine, and on the east side by the fortified canal St. Denis and the town itself, which latter is surround( d by formidable works. The line to Strasbourg, destined to play such an important part in the present war, is also secured for several miles by re doubts which command it from the neighboring bights. All the Southern and Western lines of railroad arc secure, being covered by the Seine and strong detached forts, so that a surprise by a sudden seizure of the railroads by an invader, and the rapid concentration or troops at points near the city, would not endanger I'aris. The readiness with which troops could be massed in ad vanced positions outside the city lines by means of tn.se railroads contributes very much to the defense of Park, and would render regular siege approaches difficult. Paris is completely surrounded by a bastioned eneeintejwith a crest of nearly fifty feet high. This enceinte consists of several main fronts,:traced to suit the peculiar conformation of the ground, and forms a kind of pentagon with un equal sides. On these main fronts are traced over ninety bastions, varying in proportions, but maintaining a uniform shape throughout. The scarp of the works is faced with a kind of soft:Stone, laid in regular courses, and backed by rubble mmsonry. Thu height of the scarp is 31 feet, the ditch is 77 feet wide, and the counterscarp is 17 feet deep, and sloping nt an angle of forty-five degrees. A simple glneis, with a berm separating its crest from the top of the counterscarp, and thus forming a covered way, ex tends outside the ditch. The perimeter of the enceinte is over eight French leagues in length, and a considerable space is left for military purposes be tween the works and the city. Inside the enceinte runs the grand military road from which the bastions and curtains of the fortifications are reached by ramps or slopes. In some of the interiors of the bastions, cavaliers of earth-work are constructed, by which a defilement of the adjoining rre-plc incs and the military road, as well as a searching fire over the ground in front is obtained. By arcane of the adoption of such extended lined of front, protect ed by bastions constructed on the same right line, the task of approach to, a be sieger would be extremly diflicult,as no salient point is prevented which he can enve;e.p ar air which he can concen trate his attack. This is a reason why the French Government express their confidence in the security of Paris as it would take an immense force to invest the place, while the besiegers would in no place be strong enough to resist the repeated sorties (71 force of the garrison. Paris is not dependant for safety on the bastioned enciente above described. A second and exterior line of defence has been established by which an ap proach to the first or interior line of works is prevented. The exterior line of defence consists of 16 detached forts, each one so constructed as :to render it an independent defensive position, ca pable of resisting a siege. The town of St. Denis, on the north side, is defend ed by three forts, beside minor defen sive works connecting the same, cover ing the north, east, and south sides of the town. Of these, Furt de In Briche and Fort de l'Est protect the place from attack from the north and east, while they are in turn covered by Fort d'Au bervilliers, which also protects the vil lage of the same name. The main roads leading to Mcauz, to Metz, and Mayenee, as well as the Stras bourg Railroad, which leaves Paris in the neighborhood of Plantin, pass through and near the works of that place, and between Fort d Aubervilliers and Fort de Romainville, which latter is again covered by Fort de Noissy and several redoubts, forming a chain of de fense against an approach front the east. These forts are again flanked by Fort do Rosny, which overlooks the village of that name, and is connected with Fort de Noissy by a chain of small redoubts, occupyingcommanding positions. The three last named forts, with Furt do Nogent resting on the Marne, the castle of Vincennes in the rear, and the neck of land almost insulated by a great bend of the Marne, and closed by a strong line of redoubts, complete the defenses on the eastern and more exposed side of the city, rendering it almost unap proachable by any invading army, and forming a secure battle ground in the event of an enemy advancing in great force. The junction of the Seine and the Marne is commanded by the guns of Fort de Charenton, and again by those of Fort d'lvry on the right bank of the Seine. These works, with Forts de Bicetre, de Montrouge, de Vanves, and d' Issy, defend all the approaches to Paris from the south, while from the west the Forteresso du Mont Valerien bars the way to the Seine, which on that side, twice covers the city by a sudden bend in its course. These detached forts are constructed about a mile and a quarter from the enceinte, and about the same distance apart,' and are connected by military roads, so that an impregnable cordon is drawn around the city. It is calculated that an attacking army would occupy a front of over 30 miles In extent before the investmentof the place would be in any way effective. This fact, coupled with the well known military spirit and training of the people, makes a siege of Paris, in the ordinary accept ance of the term, almost an impossibil ity. The facilities enjoyed by Paris for transporting troops, ammunition and supplies from point to point Within her limits, render the task of defense in the hands of a competent commander Mr from difficult. Good mails and city railroads encircle and intersect Parts in every direction, so that a much smaller garrison is required than the immense extent of the fortifications would lead one to believe. The cost of the works is estimated at over two-thirds of the value of the city they protect. In ls-11, the Oovernmnt obtained a grant from the Chambers of $30,0f51,0tr0 for the work. Since then they have been con stantly strengthened, and the extensive repairs now being made, on which many thousands of workmen are en gaged, are intended to complete the great work. Six thousand pieces of ordnance can be worked from the defenses of Paris, and with the additional works now con structing, and the immense improve ments in artillery, it may be said that "the safety of Paris is assured." The fortifications of Paris have already ex ercised a considerable influence on the war. The security they aftbrded the capital admitted of the garrison of 100,- 000 men of the regular army being for warded to the seat of war, while the de fense of Paris has been intrusted to a small body of picked troops, with the co-operation of the ( iarde Mobile. _Noth inghut a repetition of the events of 151.5, when the defeated Emperor of France was betrayed and deserted by those whom he raised to power, and the keys of the city were handed without a strug gle to the conquerors, could endanger Paris. how to Care for a Plano Forte. We publish the followine: at the re . (twist of "musician" fur the benefit of our musical friends: After the selection of a piano, the next thing of importance is to take care of it. A great many really line instru ments are ruined by ignorance or care lessness. A good piano is something to be petted and caressed and not beaten and abused. It has soul and feeling, if it is nothing but wood, iron, steel, brass, felt and lead—wad will always sing you its sweetest songs when gently and ten derly handled. Poople often abuse their instruments, and then abuse and blame the manufacturer and parties from whom they purchase for selling them for what they are pleased to term " trashy thing." I was sent for recent ly to examine a piano that the owner said his had purchased in Cincinnati, of Messrs. Smith A Nixon, and which was represented by them as being one of the finest instruments in the world. I asked hire, what the trouble was. He said it was all trouble. The keys all would stick when pressed down; and the wires and the tuning pins wero covered with rust, and it rat tled and jarred more than a horse fiddle. When I reached his residence and ex amined his instrument; I found it to be one of Steinway's Square tlrands. Ile had placed the piano against the out side wall of the room, and had kept it closed and no fire in the room for , the period of one year, ;his (laugh ter for whom he had purchased it be- Mg absent.) The jarring horse-fiddle sound lie complained of wily caused by a silver tablespoon on the sounding board. Was Messrs. Steinway & Sons or Smith and Nixon to blame for the condition in which I found his instru ment? I think not,—and all intelligent and fair-minded persons will agree with me. Had I the gentleman known how to take care of his instrument—and knowing, done it—he would doubtless have found his instrument in as perfect order as when it left the ware-rooms of the manufacturers. piano should not lie put too near the lire, ton near a draught with the bark of the window or outside wall ; should not be used for placing music books, shawls, etc., upon ; should be closed when not in use, but must not be kept closed for several months, or it will cause the ivory on the keys to turn yellow. Keep it in lane, and have it tuned only by a competent tuner ; and never allow it below concert pitch, (un less the piano is an old one, in which case it probably would not bear the strain upon it). It should be tuned, at the very least, three times in tho first year, after that, whenever it requires it. Dampness is its most dangerous enemy, causing the strings and turning pins to rust, the cloth used in the construction of the keys to swell, whereby tile action will move sluggishly and often stick entirely. The best pianos, made of the most thoroughlyseasoned wood, are the ones that are most affected by dampness, the absorption beinggreater. When the tone of the piano becomes"ninty," it is caused by the felt on the hammers becoming hard by constant use,and be remedied by a process called "picking up," but should not attempted by any but a competent person. Amy hard substance, no matter how small, dropped on the sounding board, Will cause the piano to have 11 jarring sound. The piano should at all times be protected by a good rubber cov er. You should place a piece of cam phor, wrapped in soft paper, in one of the inside corners to protect the felt from the depredation of moths—renewing the camphor every three months. THE CROWN PRINCE Pen and Ink Photograph of llle High The Crown Prince of Prussia is thlta pho tographed by the Times' corro.spondeut; Most people in England are familiar with tho appearance of his Buyal Highness, and A . am' not: sure that a Prussian would take it 48 4 compliment to 'have it said of Min "he has a very English look." But it is in face and figure; the light brown hair, thick moustache and dense board, not al lowed to exceed duo proportions, are Ger man, or, at all events, belong to our Cri mean camp days; but the bright blue eye, the honest full look, the broad brow, and the bronzed ruddy cheek, have what we vain islanders call the regular John Bull look, and there aro few men in the isle who I can boast a more powerful framo—the head well set on largo shoulders and immense breadth of chest. The Prince wears the universal flat military cap, with red band, and small circular rosette in front over the peak, a uniform frock coat double breasted, with a single order round his neck, a star ou his breast, and low boots, the tops of which can be pulled up to the thigh in wet weather. He sits •his.horse perfectly and he has among his chargers at least four fit for anything. TM= A sad affair occurred recently in the city of Baltimore, in which parties wall known in our borough figured quite prominently, which has thrown a gloom upon the heart of an affectionate and confiding husband, and, in all probability, blighted his happi ness fur all time to conic. Theodor° P. Bender, who at one time was in the liquor business in West Market street, a short dis tance from Centre Square, and Nathaniel Foust, of Glen hock, had recently gone into the commission business in Baltimore.— Both of them were married men. Bender left his wife in York, but Foust took his along with him to his new place of zusidonce. Not the slightest suspicion of any wrong, nor even the appearance of wrong was en tertained by Foust until the final eatastro phe which awoke him to the fact that he had been deeply and irreparably injured by Bender: that his wife's affections had been stolen front him and his household •ods Inv broken and shivered at Iris feet.— Front ale must reliable information we can obtain, a week ago last Friday Mrs. Foust absented herself front her home int Balti more, un some protext,Bender having ;aim days before started, as ho alleged, to the State of Indiana on some business. The parties met, as is now known, in Frederick, Md., and eloped together to parts unknown. It seems that Bender has been managing, the matter in a secret manner for some time past, as, by the use of money and oth er means, ho succeeded in getting a divorce for Mrs. Foust in Indiana and also for him self, in the same State, from his wi fo in York. Neither Mr. Fonst nor Mrs. Ben der, of course, had any notice of the pro ceedings. Before Bender left he appropri ated to himself all the funds he could lay his hands on belonging to Foust, thus leaving him not only wifeless, but in pov erty, and succeeded also in borrowing largo sums from business men inn Baltimore, under various pretexts. The amount that he took with hint could not have been much short of thirty thousand dollars. Where the guilty parties went to is unknown at present, and nut even suspected, but Mr. Foust is fully determined to follow them, if necessary, all over the world, not for the purpose of reclaiming his wife, for she is now a blighted thing, but to have satisfac tion from the destroyer of his peace and the despoiler of his home. Almost every per son acquainted with the parties entertains the hope that he may be successful. We saw Mr. Foust a few days ago and he looks like a heart-broken man, overwhelmed with grief and sorrow, and, it is feared, that the terrible calamity must seriously inflect Iris reason. Ifeinder is said to have had an accomplice in this borough, in the person of a young man of respectable family and antecedents, and whom no OHO would have suspected, had not Ipci truth been Anal hied, of taking hand in drily such dark and fiendish trans action. Mrs. Foust is a lady of rare personal beauty, and her husband is known to have loved her in a far more than usual degree. His whole heart was wrapped up in her, and this cruel severance must break it, or wo are much mistaken. We would not like to be in Bender's position, should Foust succeed in overtaking him, for his revenge will be not only signal but terrible. There should be a wide margin kept up in this case between the guilty seducer and the injured husband. Foust, - we under stand, is already on the war-path.— Fork Dentcwral. Four Young Girls Drowned Last Sunday week some girls, pupils of the village school, taking a walk on Sun day afternoon along the river bank, over took a boat in which was Patrick Dovino, brother of ono of the young girls, with other small boys. They invited the girls to join thorn, which they did in childish glee. After the boat was pushed out into the stream, the children foolishly com menced amusing themselves by rocking from side to side, and while doing this, a sudden lurch of the boat precipitated Ellen Fitzgibbon into the water. The occupants of the boat all crowded to the side front which she fell, to endeavor to assist her, when their united weight capsized the frail craft, and left them all struggling for life in tho water together. Two boys aged ele ven and fifteen, saved themselves at once by 'swimming ashore. Patrick Devine, aged fifteen, and brother of Margaret, shod by the boat, and, it is said, acted nobly in his efforts to save the lives of his helpless companions. Ile assisted the girls to the bird, and telling them to hold on, started to swim ashore with little Patsy Fitzgib bon, aged sown years, who clung to his neck. As ho was leaving ono of the girls, in her terror, grabbed loin by the foot, and clung to it, until she pulled off his boot, when she sank. Young Devine succeeded in reaching the slime sii - fely with little Patsy, and Chen re turned, but the girl, had lost their hold on the boat and sank before he could again come to their assistance. There was no house, in the Immediate vicinity, and it seems that the disaster was witnessed by no one not of the party. 'rue sad news soon spread, however, and soon the distressed relatives and friends of the drowned children thronged to the river bank in the vicinity of the spot where their loved ones had been best to them forever, suffering anguish which no pen can describe. The accident occurred about five o'clock in the afternoon. I irappling hooks were ob taini,l, and the river was dragged until eleven o'clock at night, but without suecess. Th, search was resumed at daylight, Mon day inurning, and, between ten and eleven o'clock, all four of the lifeless bodies were brought to the surface of the water, only a short ilbitance from where they went down.

Three Men Killed by a Grirr . . in the 15th inst., says the San Jose 10dcp,,(1,1, dcp,,(1,1, three men, whose names lire unknown, but who had been keeping a dairy on the San Ilenito ranch, came to their death in a most horrible manner. On Thursday one of their cows strayed away and way lust. ;Hi the next morning, before breakfast, two of them started out to lake a look for the missing animal. After travel ling up the ravine for some distance they discovered the row lying among the brush. Thinking she was asleep they wont up to start her home; but it appears the cow hail been killed by a grizzly, who was at this time lying at her side. As the men ap proached the hear leaped upon the fore most one, and, throwing him to the ground, tore on t his entrails, and, then seizing the second, caught his head in his mouth, and bit it entirely Off, mangling it fearfully.— The bear then resumed its position by the hotly - of the dead cow. The WWI who was first attacked did not die immediately, but had strength enough loft to drag himself a short distance front tho spot. In the meantime the roan left at the camp having prepared breakfast, went out to call up his companions. Finding their trail he followed it until he saw a aitv lying in the bushes; and thinking he would drive her home he approached the spot, when the bear, springing upon him, instantly killed him, mangling him in the most horrible manner. The surviving victim, who was lying in the bush at a short distance from the scene,witnessed his approach and death, but was so terribly wounded that he was unable to give any warning. The bodies were found a short time afterward and con veyed to the camp, where the survivor died during the ensuing night, after relating the affair as we have stated above. The bear is the same one which has been in that vicinity for the last ten years, it being known front its peculiar track, having lost three of the toes front ono of its feet.—Sac raincido Reporter. The calendar of heinous outragee on fo• !miles is increasing at on alarming rate. Scarcely a day passes that in some portions of the city women are not foully dealt with. Another has just come to light. • A couple of days ago two hucksters met in an unfrequented part of West Philadel phia a lady with a child in her arms. They compelled her to got into their cart, and drove away ton lonesome spot, where they treated her most shamefully. She fought with desperation, and as a consequence she had her clothing almost torn into shreds and her body was considerably bruised and scratched, but all to no purpose. Brute force compelled her to succumb. As soon as possible the lady sought protection at a house in the neighborhood. The inmates kindly cared for her, and lodged informa- ! Lion Or the Sixteenth-district station-house. Lieutenant Leech detailed some officers to hunt the scoundrels up and they succeeded in arresting them. At the hearing before Alderman Randall, which took place on Monday, the lady was not able to be pres ent, and the villians wore committed for a further hearing to such time as she should be able to appear and Identify thorn. At the further hearing the scoundrels were identified, and gie() the names of Stephen Bonfield and Wm. Funk, and they were committed in default of litlooo. It is a pity that so mo of those ruffians cannot under the law be treated to a dose of rope,which would be a light punishment for such a crime.— Ph ima. Pre.te.
