CORRESPONDENC E. OrR rota MLLE LETTER. lerrreepondence of the Philn. Evening Bniletin:i POTTSVILLE, July 25, 1870.:—On these hot July mornings we appreciate and commiserate the unhappy condition of the dwellers in - cities. . With the thermometer, at 7 o'clock A. M., in the vicinity of SO degrees Fahrenheit, and not enough of air stirring to " move the aspen's quivering leaf," we gasp, we faint, we perspire, we seek shady, places and say one to another, "Oh, how hot it is!" But by 8 o'clock the heated air begins to rise, the currents from the mountain sides, move down upon Us, and with their coming conies also a feeling -of renewed energy, and the business of the day goes on, and continues with a briskness which, an hour before, seemed impossible. It is warm after that, of course, but we find it easier to endure 00'degrees, with a fine breeze stirring, than 80 degrees with a blanket of lifeless, heated air to breathe and move in. ' The present week promises to be one of im portance to us, and perhaps to our neighbors, the world at large. The first event of. import ance which 1 shall chronicle, this morning, is a battle hetweell the contending forces of France and. Prussia, which leek place on Saturday night last, in an up-town bar-room. , The butcher and the baker took part in the , conflict; but - where the " candlestick-maker," usually associated with these two worthies in an im mortal triumvirate; was, I am unable to say. Perhaps he was 'holding the candle. For the sake rof Faderlandi'(several degrees removed) am sorry to • record'that Prussia was obliged to ~retire ignominiously from the contest, with grief., in his heart and mourning in his eye. In, my last mentioned the fact that the Murder epidemic had again appeared among us.. Scarcely had the letter. left the post-office before news came of another murderous assault erthe most daring and" aggravated,' descrip tion. ' A young man of 22, named George Fisher, a driver for a Miuersville dour and feed mei . - . chant, went to Mount Pleasant, on Friday Morning with ajoad erfeed: - On. his return . . trip, when about two miles from Mount Plea sant, three 'men stepped out of the bushes by the road-side, and two of them jumping on the - wagon, asked for tobacco. Fisher replied that be had none, whereupon they -asked for money and received . the same answer. One of the men on the wagon then struck Fisher, and the hlow was promptly reMne,d, when the second man on the wagon drew a revolver and fired several shots, one'of them - striking Fisher in the right thigh and another passing through his body near the heart. _The mules attached to,the wagons became - frightened arid radasiii - Y - The - men. junified' off the wagon, and Fisher fell off. The mules went horn with a bloody wagon, which started the citizens out in search of the driver, whom they met on the way, he having been picked up hy a.passing wagon. At last accounts he was expected to recover. The would-be murder ers - are - do.S6ribe d' as wearing - dark - clothing,tiro of them carrying carpet-bags, and the third, who fired the shots, being in his shirt sleeves, and Wearing a slouch hat: - Their personal scription is not given. It is supposed that they were strangers - in the vicinity, and had arrived in Millersville by rail that morning. Ex-Mar shal Heisler, an experienced villain catcher, headed a party in pursuit of them, but, so far, has failed to find them, luckily for the villains, iterhaps, - as there was strong talk of trying them in Judge Lynch's court, where anbia are hard to prove, and Die chances of executive clem ency exceedingly slight. . On the same afternoon, a Tatnanua police . ofticer, - named Aarop Koenig, got liffiiself into trouble by attempting to interfere with man's --inalienable, right -to--beat--lits---wife---George- - Sherry was the man whose domestic arrange ments lie attempted to break up, and George, having just about enough whisky in him to make him belligerent, drew a revolver and dropped the officer ' lodging one ball in his right side, and another in his left leg. At this julienne the neighbors made a combined at tack on .the pugna•Aous George, and the up shot f-f the matter was, that in default of $l,OOO bail, he was committed to prison to an ant. trial. George will now have an oppor tunity of thoroughly testing the merits of "Fart. Ward" as a summer retreat. The. Anthracite Board of Trade will hold a meeting this afternoon to discuss the proposi tion wade last Friday, by SQlluylkill District W. B. A., which proposition is contained in the following resolutions : Porrsvita.E, July 22, 18'70.—Resolved, That we, the members ot' the W. B. A., do offer to .our employers of Schuylkill county to start on the basis of 1860, when coal was worth $8 per ton in Port-Carbon. Resolved, That when coal brings $3 25, we demand 81 per cent. of an advance; $;.; 50- 16", per cent. of an advance; 75-24 per cent. of an advance ; $4 00-3:4 per cent. of au advance. Resolved, That -when coal falls below the basis of 15119, say $2 / 75, we accept a reduction of S per cent.; $2 50-167 per cent. ;$2 25- 24 per cent. ; $2 00-32 per cent., and nothing loss er. Besofred, That any miners working on contract alter they start, earns over $lOO per month, be reduced 10 per cent. ; $125 and over-20 per cent. ; $l5O and over-30 per cent. ; $2OO per mouth, it' there be any-40 per cent. BeNolvta, That the above figures be taken from the six grades of coal, pea coal not in cluded. ~Besolted, That these rules be handed to F. B. Gowen, Esq:, President of the Reading Railroad Co. JOHN SINEY; President. GEO. CORBETT, Secretary. Operators here say—" This proposition is 13 per cent. worse than the basis of 1869 ; for that contemplated an advance and•decline of 20 per cent. on a $3 basis, while this contem plated a ratio of 33 per cent. on the same basis. If we had worked on that basis, during the months of this strike, there would scarcely be a solvent operator iu the county by this iine. We don't think we'll accept." But the Philadelphia operators may see it in a different light. Siney himself, the County President, is re ported as having said at a meeting hi St. Clair, on Saturday night, that this proposition was worse for the operators than the basis of '69. Nevertheless he urged th 4 men to hold on to it, saying "that the President of the Reading Railroad was now with them, and all they had to do was to bold out and they would accom plish their object." The General Council of the W. B. A. meets here on Tuesday, when something important may be looked for. still another convention is announced for some time next week, having for its object the formation of an independent basis. There is "another Richmond" now in the field, and this convention will give utterance to the senti ments of the new party. It is composed of -bolters from the W.R. A., politely termed by. their late companions„" blacklegs." .They, the bolters, have formed a new Union among themselves, and have very sensibly re solved to attend to their own business and let their employers alone. They will not interfere with the employing or discharging of men or horses; ~ b nt will pay •tvs euty-five cents per mouth.into a yellef fund, and stick hnileStly to their work ea long as POSSible; so as not to need • iLf Of &Arnie, the new organization is porn posed' principally of Germans, too 'stupid to nrideistand the " thricks of the thrade,',", which their Celtic brethren have detected. Vrtti much acuteness and so much profit. to them selves., , Pottsville is stirring in the matter of public fountains. The Borough Council proposes to erect Moie, to:be Suppliedfroin a splendid spring on. the old Patterson property;, and old fogyism, after a protracted beating of its brains for an •objec-, tion to the innovation, has at last found ono in the startling discovery that " crowds of iMproper characters would throng the place nightly, and make it unpleasant for ladies to visit there." Let 'em throng, say I. It. is a very small disturbance that can be raised with nOthing but water to excite it, and if the " im proper characters" - must congregate some where, I would much rather see them gath ered around a pump than 'in a lager beer sa loon. Besides, we pay policemen to keep such characters on their good behavior; and, once, more, no such " thronging " has ever been known there. during • all the ' years that an iron spout, ,on the glitter side of the pavement, has poured forth an unfailing stream of pure cold spring water —unless, indeed, I except. the children who are and have been, ever since the spout was placed there, in the habit of stopping in crowds for a: • drink on their way to and from school. There is no better agentin the abolishing of "dis orderly throngs" than a well-regulated public drinking-fountain; and I could readily believe that the water from this crooked iron pipe has washed from the debit side of old Bard Patter son's account many of the peccadilloes to which we are all liable. I hope the new foun tain will be dedicated to his memory. He could not have a better monument r From the Saturday Review.] MR. THOMAS RIM HEN ON CORNELL • ENITERSI or. • • ~. . Most of our readers are aware of the exist ence of Cornell University in the State of New York, if the professorship of Mr. Goldwiu Smith-be the only fact with which it is dis tinctly associated in their minds. They proba bly, however; are-also aware that it -is one of the most splendid examples of that munificence of which Americans have some right to boast. Mr. Cornell is :a man who rose from the ranks, made a fortune-by judicious enterprise, and has given away '..a :Very - large part . .Of- it ;to-found a new University. He deserves the highest honor for his public spirit, and we might well wish to see such an example imitated. Men who have. won great riches. by their own exertions are in all countries more apt to spend them upon senseless ostentation than for the pub lic good ; and Mr. Cornell is a rare instance Of a Man v(liose - early disadvantages of -educa tion, instead of disqualifying him from making a good use of his wealth, have induced him to spend it for the admirable purpose of providing greater advantages for his successors. Of his motives we may speak with unqualified re spect; and we mayalso fully believe ' , that the University -cannot fail to be useful in a coun try where the higher education _is specially in need of encouragement. It appears, -howevert that Mr. Coma and his friends have decided to try one or two novel experiments in educa tion, which may or may not be successful. So far as we know,- they may - have -7ocien over sanguine, but we have no reason to accuse them Of being boastful. Any deficiencies of _which they may be guilty in the art of blowing - their own trumpets are, however, well made up on this - side of the water. Mr. Thomas Hughes has written an ecstatic article in the current number of Macmillan's Magazine, in which he not only takes for granted that the Cornell experiment will be thoroughly suc cessful, but considers that its success will solVe certain great difficulties in our English Univer sities. It is really pleasant to see a- man in such a state of exuberant and buoyant confi dence as is the happy result or Mr. Hughes's temperament; -to--witness the enthuSiasm with Iwhich he quotes the prophecies of inaugural -addresses,.as. though_theywere...the_record_of _ accomplished facts ; and the intense geniality —we believe that is the proper word— which dopEiifs to assume the existence in Arne rica of a numerous baud of students and pro fessors, all of superhuman virtue. We recom mend our readers to study the article, if they like hearty gushes of enthusiasm ; perhaps, if they are so cynical as to believe that human nature is human nature, even in the State of New York, and that the boast of a man putting on his armor is not always a conclusive proof of the feelings with which he will take it off, they had better retrain from matter which is likely to irritate them. Without following Mr. Hughes through out his glowing panegyric, we will shortly con sider the main conclusions which he has drawn for our benefit. First, then, Mr. Hughes assures us that there will be no religious difficulty at Cornell Uni versity, because the Principal declares that the institution is to be Christian, but not sectarian, and that the chapel is to be devoted to prayer and praise of a rather indefinite character; and alifo because the charter provides that a ma jority of the trustees is never to belong to any one sect. The Principal's intentions are, at. any rate, eloquently expressed; but we confess that the provision in the charter rather sug gests the existence of a certain amount of reli gious jealousy. It is intended to guard against a danger whiCh we must, therefore, suppose to be a real danger, that some sect or sects may-render the institution sectarian in spite of the Principal's zeal. Whether the safe-guard will be effectual or otherwise can only be learnt by experience; and the experience of a single year is certainly insufficient to decide the point. Not to dwell upon this point, we come to " the great prin ciple of Cornell Universlty"—namely, "the combining of labor with study." It is intended that the - students shall. have the opportunity of. . supporting theMselves by labor, though it would appear that some difficulty, has already been felt in the matter. The difficulties of the plan are obvious. We have all heard of the. Scotch students who make enough money by farm labor in the summer to support themselves during the winter session. Such men deserve all encouragement, and we should be sincerely glad to see them at Oxford and Cambridge. Whether the plan can be converted into the regular system of a University is another ques tion. To our minds it would seem very doubt ful whether a youth '"who has been making roads all day will generally be fit to make much use of Professor Goldwin Smith's lectures at night. If possible at all, it can hardly be possible except in a country where the wages of unskilled labor are as high as in the United States. But we con fess to a doubt whether, even there, any thing like serious study will be com patible except in the rarest instances with severe manual labor. The. odd thing, however, is the use which Mr. Hughes makes of the principle. Cornell University is in tended (and the ambition is at least honorable) . to give to men who have to support themselves by,labor the chances of obtaining a first-rate ed ucation. Mr. Htighee's:theory.is that rich paling men, who do - not want to support themselves, are to be encouraged in England to learn car pentering and tinkering instead, of classics and mathematics. HiS application of the theory is hgenious. The old professions, it seems, are -full; our young men 'will have in future to be sheepfarmers in Australia, travelers in Central Africa, engineers in the ' Hima layas, and so forth. It is the consciousness of this necessity, it seems, that makes them wish - -..... triiiaso n" LfTli; Toro ;;---- le - ef keen eyes," and so on, and tlTerefore it, is. that they cry - "hey for cricket, football, ooxing,- rowing." We vehemently doubt this, theory of the modern rage for athletics; but to proceed. Nr. Hughes knew one young. man at Oxford who, being a good athlete, and nothing more, PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1870. found himself penniless at Singapore, and had to work his way honie by laboring with agang , of Irishmen; another equally ignorant youth took to traveling in Africa, anti had to learn to mend his own cart; whilst a third is squatting 'in Australia, and has. found his. Uni yersity training of no good •to him. The moral is, according to - Mr. - Hughes, that the Universities should teach crafts— "turning, carpentering ori.smithe_ work.'' This is, on the whole, one of the. oddest In ferences we have ever known. If .the-,old studies are antiquated, provide new ones by all means; but let them be intellectual studies at least. The fault of the athletic sport is that it trains the muscles of our young men, and neglects their brains. Mr. Hughes's judicious remedy is that the University should lower itself to the level of its undergraduates, and de scent] to teaching the mechanical arts for ' which alone they are fit. Mr. Cor nell's plan, practicable =or chimerical, tries to raise the working-tuan to the level of the student.' Mr. Hughes's doctrine is that we should try to make our students into work ing-men. if his facts as to the absence of in tellectual employment are correct, the moral is that our young men should be bound ap preutices to blacksmiths or farmers, where they will learn these arts much more effectually than in the shadow of the Bodleian.. For our part, we dispute both the facts and the infer ences, and though it might be well that studies such as chemistry acid geology, which bear upon agriculture and engineering, should re ceive some attention, we could hardly imagine a more retrograde step than that of turning Oxford and Cambridge into big blacksmiths' shops. The other great lesson to be learnt from Cor nell regards the discipline of the students ; and here Mr. Hughes seems to have'misSed the real moral almost as completely as. in the other . in stances. At Cornell it is proposed; wisely or not that the students shall be formed into a kirid•Of organization, and that dis cipline should be left chiefly to them. Mr. Hughes is filled with admiration, and applies the doctrine fter this fashion. The Head of a Col lege is toput-all his-tutors on .one staircase by themselves, and then to make a speech to his young men in hall. He is to give them a severe rebuke for their practical jokes, and to put them upon their honor for the future. The ''buttery-hatch,:the larder;:the : libiguyighe kitchen" (rather an odd eollocation) ati3 all to be left open at night, and in the charge of the students. They are to preserve the college property, but are to let the Head " have the name of one gentleman on each staircase, to whom he is to look for the maintenance of proper discipline; and who will be accountable to him for the security of the college property. - After this ingenious plan has been adopted. Mr. Hughes ventures to say that " not a willow-pattern plate belonging to the college would be broken, and that the - reading - melt would," in short, be free from disturbance. Now there is onelittle hitch which'_ occurs at first sight. Suppose that a will Ow-pattern plate is broken, or, say, a valuable bust destroyed, what is to be done? If the gentleman oil each staircase is to be responsible in any ref] sense of the word, he must have some powers of enforcing order. But -why should he be a better-authority - than thegtutolgoLthe -college: The tutors ought to, and ,most frequently do, exercise a strong moral influence over the- 11- dergraduates, owing to their being a few years older and wiser ; they are far more competent to take. a reasonable view of questious _of dis cipline ; and they, in fact; owe a great part of their moral authority to enforcing 'aliscipline•• judiciously and inflexibly.. To take :away that work from them and to commit it to I comparatively feeble hands would really be to weaken the college, by making the tutor a mere retailer-of--knowledge for a given price,- aud removing in many cases the healthiest and most powerful influence at work. The rela tions-between the • -tutors and tlicir pupils are amongst the most valuable parts of the Univer -sity___systerm and to_deprive the tutors of a power which they generally exercise, to the general advantage would be naturally to dirninisli their weight with the undergradrrates But, Mr. Hughes will say, the young men never will do any mischief when they are on their honor and governed by their own representatives. - We willingly admit that, young men are often struck more than might be ex pected by a bit of clap-trap. But :titer they were accustomed to the system, and a few rowdy and drunken youngsters were assembled together, the magic would vanish; the prepos tor would be no more sacred than die tutor; and one of two things would happen—the col lege generally would be demoralized till some interference was necessary, or discipline would be administered as strictly as before, though more spasmodically and irregularly, by lads who were totally unfit to be trusted with the charge. Everybody who has seen the prac tival working of a University knows how many delicate questions are quietly settled by a judi cious tutor, with the advantage of a few years' experience, which would lead to endless mischief and complication if trusted to the im pulsive action of a set of youthful prigs or bul lies. We will tell Mr. Hughes what we take to lie really the main secret of preserving good discipline-An the first place, of course, the tutors must be sensible men, and must treat their half-grown subjects with a judicious but indefinable mixture of confidence and author ity. Secondly, and this is of thehighest lin portanee, they must get rid of the black sheep. In any college of a hundred undergraduates, a sensible tutor could point to three ur four who are really the causes of mischief, and if they are got rid of as occasion serves, there will be little trouble in preserving proper order. This, if we are not Mistaken was Dr. Arnold's practice, as Mr. mistaken, appeals to him, and it also appears to be the intention- of Cornell University. The Principal, says, as lir. Htlghes tells ti's " incidentally; that he means to get rid of all idle and vicious youths. If he could do that he would have no trouble in maintaininq discipline, whether he forms the reinainder'into quasi-military order or not. -This would be the chief use to be an ticipated from a matriculation examination. Keep out a certain number of the idle and vi cious, and the tone of the Univehities will be distinctly raised. Boys, to quote a time-boll ored maxim, will be boys, and whether you try to rule them or leave them to rule them- selves, a few boys of corrupt principles will speedily bring us to the alternative of rejecting them or relaxing discipline. The abandonment of all attempts at enforcing discipline has a pretty sound, and may be endive with a certain class of lads at particular times, but it would lower the position of the/tutors by relieving them of a most important responsi bility; and so long as there is a considerable proportion of the idle and vicious, it would be worse than useless. Perhaps we have • spent too many words in illustrating a very obvious truth; and we need only say in conclusion that Mr. Hughes appears to us to be a very un fortunate advocate of University reforma. To meet athleticism by lowering - University 0010, afid-to - region): discipline',by .abandoning.:.oe. duty to the lads themselves; appear to us to be on the whole two of the most objectionable proposals that could easily be Made. Luckily they are not very, likely-to be- adopted till Cor nell College has attained the right to speak from much longer experience; and, if we have interpreted its 5 principles rightly, it does not oven attempt to sanction them at present. —A German tailor, named Kreitner' who recently 'started business in a Western town performed;last-weekrt he-astonishing—feat_of_ walking away from wife children and eredi-_ tors with four suit 4 of heavy clothing upon - his person .

Your heart failed you and jumped to . your mouth,..but you manfully, .gulped it down again, called` pride and inquisitiveness to your aid, and paSsed forward. You were in a long, IoW-roofed room, set thick with tables and crowded with customers. The color of the table-cloths did not shock you by any violent contrast to the dingy walls or 'the gloomy at mosphere. In this instance the lady of the counter was a long-drawn,' sharp-featured matron, whose haggard' outlines would have said little for the resources of her establish ment, had not the vivacity of her movements and the shrillness of her tones argued a nature thoroughly antipathetic to corpulence.

' A neutral flag protects an enemy's merchandise, except con traband of war. Merchandise of a neutral, ex cept confraband of war, is not seizable under a foreign flag. ' rho blockade Hurst be ellective, although Spain and the United States did not adhere to the declaration of lS3ti.

He conclUdes by saying that in the,right and unity of Germany is a new assurance that the war • will lead to durable peace and to the comple tion of German unity 'and independence. Lox Pox, . July 25.--[Special to the New York Trip erre.] —The special correspondent of the Tribune writes from - Metz on-the 22d inst:, describing the movements of--- troops at--that place. On that day there were teuilhousand soldiers at Forbach, seven thousand at St. Avolt, and three thousand at Saareguemines. There is a large cavalry camp at Thionville which protects the left of the French army. This force will be increased to forty thouSand.' The Ist Division of . the 3d Corps is com manded by General Azniends, and is composed of the 18th Battalion Chasseurs, 59th, fl2d, Slat . and 95th Regiments of . the line. .The ;division, Marched out on the morning Of- the . --22d,-22d, and by this time is at Boulay, on the road to Saar- Louis. The Imperial Guard is reported to be on the way to Metz, but their probable des tinatiorr is Nancy. Bavarian videttes have already been seen with the Prussians. This fact is -considered important, showing the complete blending of the Prussian and South German forces. * LoN pox, Jnly 25.—The secret treaty which was - projected--between France._ and Prussia monopolizes the attention here .of the public and Parliament. Intense indignation is mani fested at the duplicity of the powers concerned. TheUeticei Of Napoleon - Is - considered insulting to England.- Ignorance of theneg,otiaticin is prefes.sed at the French Kmbassy. A despatch from Brussels states that the account of the treaty projected between France and Prussia . which was printed in the London Tunes is per fectly authentic. The Belgian ~o vernment knew of existence a - short time ago In the flonse of Lords; Earl Granville, in re- ply to a question from Lord Stratford de Red !!ifle. Said be. Was unable to state where the 7,•/i obtained the .text of the treaty. After the announcement. of - the existence -of such -a remarkable document it would be the duty of France Eind'Prussia imthediately'and spontane ously to explain the matter to Europe: Mr. Disraeli, in the House of Commons to night, atter questioning the Foreign Office in regard to the reported treaty, denounced the government for withholding the correspondence on the subject. lie declared England could never have tolerated sua a proposition. . Tne _extinction of the kingdom of Belgium v.ould bra calamity to Europe.

Its purpOrt certainly was astounding. ' Doubtless the powers implicated would explain the mys tery. i.o.NnoN, July 25.—Great importance is at tached here to the gunboats, which will be used as they were in the American war, and %% ill act in the Rhine and Moselle, and possibly in the Saar, should the Prussians defend that stream. Each gunboat carries one heavy gun, manned by twelve men, and commanded by a lieutenant 4 It is believed that the Prussians have no gunboats. Everything is quiet in Luxeinburer. Pyres, July 25, Midnight.—The Minister of France at Stuttgart was insulted before his departure by the populace. Many priests have voluuteered to go as chap; lams in the army. " The Cent Guards left Paris to-day. Evening journals say the Minister of the In terior has addressed a circular to all prefects assuring them that whenever information reaches the government from the seat of war it will be furnished to them by telegraph, and that in the absence-of such advices they may consider that no news of importance has been received, and take . no notice of rumors which may prevail. Communication with Germany is easy. The French officers boast that they have a million of men between Thionville and Strasburg. Passes to newspaper correspondents are still rigidly refused. General Bazaine sends to all applications a written reply, as follows : "The formal orders of the Emperor prohibit the granting Of any authorization., to fellow the headquarters to any, person not ibelonging to the army. I have, therefore, no power to giant the requestyoulayeAlone-me the honor to make, arid can only refer you to the decision the ajor-General of the army." LoxiioN, July 25.—[Special to New York Tribune.].---A Paris special writes to the Lon don _News Sunday evening as follows: "Never has war been undertaken. by France with less enthusiasin or more distrust of success., The crowds on the boulevards who were -, ready to die for their country have disappeared. , "Troops are marching through Paris to take trains for the seat of war, and they traverse the streets without eliciting a single cheer. soldiers, joining their regiments walk about in groups, abrioSt all of them drunk, and bour geois stare at them and shrug their shoulders. aspect The of Paris could not be more melan holV. if the Prussians we're at the gates of the city.;' , • The Minister had also ordered prefects to !Cake ample preparations ibr'the reception and care of the wounded.
