General Frossard, who commanded that portion of the French army which was defeated at. Saarbruck, is flying with his shattered army through the open country towards Paris, hotly pursued by Gene ral Von Steinmetz. He has been driven from his entrenchments, and it seems that he cannot find an 'OpriortitnitS , , beneath the crushing blows of the Prussians, to throw up new de fences. The Crown Prince has completed his victory with a rapid advance for the purpose of making secure the separation of MacMahon's defeated army from the main body of the French at Metz. It is asserted that he will force Macllahcm back upon Nancy, and place his own force bet Ween that place and. Metz, Where Napoleon is, so that be may operate upon the Emperor's communications with Paris, and if possible cut him off from that city. In the meanwhile Prince Frederick Charles with the centreof the Prussian army threatens Napoleon in the front. The situation is, very grave and full of peril. The Prussians have followed the retreating armies with so much energy and vigor, that it seems not impossible that their objects will be accomplished and that the French' army will be beaten into fragments, without a chance to unite again. Terrible dis aster and even complete rain seem to be staring Napoleon in the face. THE GREAT VICTORY. The first great battle of the war was fought on Saturday, and resulted in an overwhelming triumph -for -the Prussians. The doubt in which - the character- of this victory -might- be involved, if we depended for our information upon the Prussian 'reports,a prevented by the full admission of disastrous defeat by the Emperor Napoleon, and by his home govern ment. it was indeed impossible ta disguise the truth in the presence of the magnificent results of the Prussian success, or to invent any ingenious theories or plausible stories which would deprive the French defeat of its appearance of disaster. The 'naked facts are terribly plain, and can easily be comprehended by the. dullest Frenchman. The--attack was begun by the Prussian centre upon the French centre, near Saarbruck, the scene of the recent pretended triumph of the French. After a hard contest the French position itras taken b 3 the Prussians, and the whole of the French centre was driven backward to St. Avoid, upon the road to Metz. There were heavy losses upon both sides,• and large numbers of prisoners —six thousand, it is said—were captured the Prussians. Simultaneously with this affair a much more important movement was made by the Prus sian Crown Prince, who commands tbe Pros sianleft. Advancing from Wissembourg, the scene of his recent victory, he attacked the French right under Marshal MacMahon. After a prolonged and terrible fight, the French were beaten ab every point and fled panic-stricken, leaving the field strewn with their dead, and six thousand prisoners, thirty cannon, and six mitrailleurs, in the hands of the enemy. The direct consequences of this victory are, t ha Marshal Mach hon and his wing of the army are cut off entirely from the main body ; Strasbourg, and the Rhine between that city and carlsruhe, are left defenceless to the Prussians, and the scene of conflict IS transferred from German soil far into French territory. That the French au thorities comprehend the grave peril of the position is evident from the fact that the min isters and the Journa. Qfficiel declare that extraordinary measure: must be adopted for the , ilefence of Paris; and the Empress has thought it necessary to issue a rather mourn ful proclamation entreating Frenchmen to unite for the common defence. The Corps Legielatif has been summoned to assemble on Thursday to adopt measures for public safety, and the Prince Imperial has been hurried back to Paris, completely satisfied with his experience of war. Paris of course is intensely excited, and the most strenuous exertions of the author ities are not sufficient to prevent violent dem onstrations from the populace. What a strange contrast this picture presents to that which was held up to the world only a week ago! Then, the French army marched to the frontier, proclaiming that its mission was the deliverance of Germany from the tyranny of Prussia. It boasted of its intention to carry the war across the Rhine, and to enter. Berlin within a fortnight; Napoleon claimed authority as the arbiter of Europe ; lie declared his pur pose to destroy the power of his Prussian rival; he promised France that her boundaries should be extended to the Rhine ; he menaced itelgium,.arid : .,he, promised to : win glory for France in the War which - he inaugurated shit ply to gratify his own ambition. Now his army, beaten upon its own soil, is flying to wards Paris, and all the misery and: disaster in which he would haveinvolved the Unoffend ing people of neighboring _countries has fallen upon his own subjects. France has been in vaded by a splendid army, entaisiastic over its success in the fiPst great. battle of the war; the French army is beaten, demoralized and rent asunder; and J'arls, at its back, is in an ifaMIEMMMiIiM uproar, which :wither defeat may_ develop into a revolution. - We do not by any means regard this Prussian triumph as decisiVe or,final. The French army is large and well disciplined, and it will soon _be placed_in as good condition _as_ever..__,lt_is likely that theie will be many more *terrible battles yet, and It is possible that in the next fight the Prussians may be driven again across the frontier. The French soldiers will perhaps fight more desperately,as they appreciate the appalling-consequences-of defeat. But the Prussians have gained a great moral advantage by this triumph, and they will enter, the next fight with smaller fear of the Frenchovith more confidence in their own :powers and k `their commanderg, and with full consciousness that one or two more such victories may carry them to Paris, and end the war. For it is evident that the French cannot afford to suffer 'many such defeats as this one. There is a terrible power in Paris which Napoleon fears more than he does the Prusans, and it needs but the ,inspiration of overwhelming disaster to . arouse it to action, to insure the utter demoral ization of his 'army and his own destruction. If he fails in this campaign—fails_even pattia/ly —he is lost. Frenchmen tolerated this most shameful war because they hoped to win national honor; they will not forgive defeat,or endure the man who brought disgrace upon France. iI - LDI - Nbi I-N We belieie„that the- general feeling through out this country this morning was one of ex ultation over the Prussian success. Everybody rejoiced that Napoleon had been beaten, and there is a universal hope that the Prussians may drive him back to Paris and secure his overthrow. It is felt that in this way may be prevented the complications which threaten to involve the whole of Europe in the war, and there is a general sentiment that it would be sublime retribution if Napoleon suffered disas trous defeat and then dethronement as a pun ishment for his villainous conduct in plunging two great nations into a senseless and cruel war. It is likely that we shall have news of another . 'great battle within a day or two; and we sincerely hope that the reports will an nounce the forward movement of the Prus sians. It is a rule of trade, as inflexible as the laws of the Aledes and Persians, that trade will go wherever traders can buy the cheapest and best goods, and sell them to the best advantage. Trade may temporarily be controlled by other considerations. Personal preferences and prejudices may influence the merchant in seeking one market and avoiding another, but these are not permanent influen ces, and they soon yield to the gravitation of the law which we have stated. On Saturday we announced that the South ern Mail Steamship Company bad placed a new, first-class iron steamer on their line to New Orleans, and it is also stated that others are. in preparation for the accommodation of Philadelphia's Southern , trade. - ;The fact, is a very gratifying one. It is 'le best evidence of the substantial growth of business between the great manufacturing. centre of the North and the improving markets of the South. It proves at once the growing prosperity - of the - South, under the new order of things, and the superiority of Philadelphia in all the departments of manufacturing in dustry. If we need additional steamships to accommodate our Southern trade, it is because the South is getting into a better condition to buy, and because the manufactures of Phila- delphia are better and therefore cheaper thau are to be found elsewhere. It has not hindered this growth of sound Southern trade that Philadelphia took the ad vanced position that she did in opposing the Rebellion and in maintaining. the honor and ibtegrity of the Union. It has not hindered the resumption of business relations with the South, that the principles upon which that ter- rible Rebellion was crushed out are stoutly and honestly held by our best and most promi nent business men. The war is over. Kindly personal relations have everywhere sprung up uetween the once contending sections. The freest criticisms upon the Rebellion, the most out-spoken refusals to palliate its offence or to Le-instate its leaders, have come from this city. But these Lave not prevented the renewal of pleasant personal relations, much less have they interfered to ailect the uniform rule 'of trade, which will always buy and sell in the most desirable market. With increasing energy and enterprise on the part of our manufacturers anti merchants, in making their business more widely known, and pushing their connections out, upon every new channel of trade that is opened, The basi ness future of Philadelphia will be one of con st-iltly increasing prosperity. Active competi tion, liberal advertising, superior excellence of goods, improved communications, enlargement of general public spirit, are the elements of commercial success to which the attention of business men of Philadelphia should be con- tinually directed. The addition of a single steamship to our commercial marine is of com paratively little consequence, but taken as a practical indication of the substantial growth of our Southern trade it,is the-occasion of con gratulation not only to the enterprising Steam ship Company that has made this addition to its business facilities, but to the mercantile community of Philadelphia at large. RED CLOUD AS A PEACEMAKER. It turns out, after all, that tLe visit of Red Cloud to the East has accomplished some good results. When the chief left for home he grumbled so loudly and appeared to be so dis satisfied with the promises made him, that everybody believed he would organize war im mediately upon is return. Reports that he had fulfilled these expectations were circulated for a while, but it appears that they were un true. General Flint has written from Fort Laramie , to the effect that Red Cloud has suc ceeded absolutely in preventing any warlike demonstrations on the part, of those most trou blesome Indians the among theni a better 'feeling towards the whites. The chief is also . irk communication with the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes, and he hopes to exercise. an *ally good influence over them. Certainly, we Inive excellent rea son to be satisfied with, these facts, and we are justified 'ln attributing them entirely to the visit of Red Cloud, and to that treatment of him by the government whieh provoked so much ridicule and abuse , from Democratic and other newspapers. Perpetual pacification of PHILADE.atiIx ( . .gyg.NINGF .JII7:I)IiIiTLIN:4:i.3IOIsTDA.Y,t. M MURTi - 41.87411. ei AA." 1 , ; ''. i THE BILE OF TRADE. the most dangerous and formidable savages upon the plains is cheaply purchased at the price of a little kind treatment, a fewentertainments, and the cost of the journey through the country. Red Cloud May be an irreclaimable _savage,_but he seems to-be-capable-of—appre ciating kindness and of comprehending the folly of fighting against , a gOvernment, the power of which ho can perceive, and the good will of which he can have if be will accept it. There is one duty, however, which the govern ment must perform toward . thehe Indians; if 'it would reap the full fruits of its experiment. General Flint asserts that game-is- very scarce in their reservation, and If the Indians are not fed they must either steal . or starve.. He asks for supplies for them,'and we hope his request will receive immediate attention. It does seem somewhat unreasonable that we should have to support all these savages in idleness; but. Indians are not very reasonable/ beings; and' we must either feed them or fight them. The former plan is decidedly c!leapq.,..:T 6 eaving out of the question the loss of life that would result from a war, it will , cost ns• actually far less money and much less trduble to give them all-neeeskary food and clothing- to keep them eace. Besides this, they will be within the mach of responsible Indian agents . who will have a chance to try •to induce them to acquaint themselves with the arts_ of civiliza tion. On Saturday evening, a police sergeant was knocked down, kicked and otherwise mal treated, as were two offiers w,ho, went to his Daßistance, by a gang of men, Who, having sat isfied their vengeance for the attempted arrest of one of their friends, took refuge in the Western Engine-house, barring the doors against the officers who attenipted their capture. This is °Lily another of the almost daily illus trations of the beauty of our present volunteer fire system. Many of the hose-and-engine houses are the haunts and refuges of the men who form the ringleaders and actors in most of the riotous scenes that so frequently disturb and disgrace the city. They are not always, or even generally, regularly-enrolled members of the companies who harbor them. •But they are their adherents, and a very lawless and dangerous class of adherents at that. These " runners" and bangers-on are the growth of the Volunteer Fire Department. They would be disbanded and scattered under a well-regulated Paid Fire Department, and either driven into the pursuit of honest in dustry, or provided for in the penitentiary or the House of Correction. We take it for granted that with the re assembling of Councils in the fall, there will be. some new move toward the reform so long desired and demanded by the people of Phila delphia, in this direction. It will be opposed by but one class, and that is a class, - if Commits would but believe it, powerless to exercise any of that political influence of which some of the members stand in such unneePAcuuy dread. The lessons of this summer, added to all the lessons of years past, ought to suffice to satisfy our municipal authorities that there is buttine effective reform of our fire system, and that is a 'total revolution, the abolishment of the Vol unteer Fire Department, and the substitution. in its place, of what almost every other city in the Union has already adopted, a good Paid Fire Department. The growth of the town of Duluth, at the head of Lake Superior, is a remarkable speci merof the rapid development of the resource, of the Great West and Northwest.. Not mucl, more than a year ago, it was a little village of about one htmdred inhabitants. In that time. it has sprung up to the dignity of a regularly organized town, with a population of three thousand inhabitants, and destined to become, almost immediately, one of the most promi nent railroad centres of the country. Its few cabins and huts.have given way to substantial dwellings, handsome churches, commodious hotels, stores, shops and other business estab lishments. It has an Episcopal church costing and a Presbyterian church costing $17,000 and a Methodist church costing $0,500 are in course of erection. It has several public and private schools; an elevator with a capacity of 350,000 bushels, costing $150,000; two large hotels, costing respectively $45,000 and $lB,OOO, without lots or furniture, and several smaller ones; a public library and reading room; gas company; lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows. Good Templars ; 300 buildings in all, and 100 under contract ; and two good newspapers, the Minnescitian and Minie. As the eastern terminus of the Lake Superior and MiSsissippi Railroad, and the future ter minus-cif the - Northern - Pacific - RailroUil, it is almost impossible that the high expectations or those who have watched the surprising growtl. of Duluth should not be realized. Sagaciou Thaddeus Stevens predicted that ,4 at the heap of Lake Superior would grow up one of tilt largest, if not the largest city on this continent,'' and Duluth certainly appears to have all the elements about it for the fulfilment of .the prophecy. As usual, there are some women at the bot tom of all this terrible disturbance in Europe. Only a few days ago it was announced that. the Emperor was going to Eine% and now we learn that Fritz is making hot haste toward Nancy'.

On the 15th of August be will be promoted to Lieu tenant-Colonel, at least such are the expecta tions, and will exchange into another regi ment. In Algeria and in Italy he has served in almost every branch of the infantry and cavalry, and every step of his promotion has been won by soldierly gallantry. Many of the American newspapers are spazii4tng upon the fame that he may achieve in the present war. According to the current reasomng the Em peror cannot place himself actually at the head of the army on account of his physical sufferings ; Prince Napoleon, or Plon Plon, showed himself in the Crimea and Italy to be careful to keep out of the range of bullets, and Prince Pierre is in disgrace. Hence the soldiers will have among them a fighting Bonaparte, who has been alienated by the rulers of the family, and who has the look and carriage of the first Emperor. If he distin guishes himself by some great and gallant ac tion in the field, it is predicted ihat he will become the supreme favorite of the army.

SUNDAY, Aug. 7.—The attractions of the seaside and almoner r , sorts _proved greater than those of Wall street for the great bulk of dealers at the Stock Exchange, and Hence the business .of the week Was sluggish and moderate in amount. - Despite tint ibactivity - In flnarcial - circles - the - tone and temper of the markets underwent a gradual change to cheerfulness and buoyanci —int) result of the reaction abreact in the prices of American securities. That .this reaction was sure to conic in the progress of the war now existing in Europe was prophesied emphatically when the first signs of difficulty made themselves . manifest. it is the inconsistency of speculators which is - so often the secret of their losses. One of the most successful " men of the street" owes his good fortune to persevering in whatever policy his judgment told him was correct: --He was accustomed to mark out his courst for a future of several months, commit his money to his brokers and give his Instructions as to the purchase and sale of stocks, whereupon he betook him . 8 , If to his yacht. and, - out of sight and sound of the Stock Exchange, would cruise the Intermediate time away. On his return he found his ventures_.almost in, variably successful. Now, had he remained at home, suffering his mind to be bewildered and his calculations, to . . be challenged by. the numerous intermediate thactuatione arising out of the thousand and one rumors and theories constantly circu lating and discussing in the gossipy precincts of the Long Boom. he-would doubtless have frittered away-his Money In " buying when stocks were high and selling them vi hen they were - low." The moral of the above might have been applied in more, instances than one since the outbreak of the present war in tturope. Those who to-day are. losers by the sharp decline which lane visited ...very department of the Stock Exchange have their own timidity and inconsistency to blame. When it first • became apparent that war in Europe was threatened there was a popular and general proclama t fen of the idea that such a war would redound to our benefit. How many proved their sincerity r That there sMuld be at the beginning of such a political crisis some, fluctuations and some depression owing to the en • (leaver of finance to preserve its equilibrium was very natural. tint that there should be the heavy decliee which did take place was filo-Icel. What has tranepired as the great EurApean 'Aar has progressed? To-day in London the national securities of the United States are the firmest and most buoyant in the market. Tho first rush to concert everything into Money has given place to a desire to convert money into the most reliable investment. Our bonds have rallied four to five per cent.,although the war has now reached a stage of severe ghtingGold was•l234 - on the declaration of war. It was 1204' daring the terrific fighting at Wiseembenrg. Were it anotier season of the Fear the foreign influences attesting the pren inrn would be of little moment. But we are on the eve of the period when. with the closing out of the cot ton crop, our exports are the highest of the year. while a fear exists that, with the prostration of the manufacturing interests in England the, 'new crop will fail of the usual demand. It remains to be seen, howeeer whether in place of remitting specie in the ensuing fall we shall not be in receipt of large amounts of foreign capital, sent here for refuge to the storm that threatens all Europe. It is well known that .already orders' far the realization of capital invested with us have been countermanded. How is it that the municipality of Boston has wthin a few days negotiated a loan of 44,000,000 with the Baring Brothers, of Lou don?. On Thursday last the Bank of England raised its rate of discount to MX percent. On tbesam- day consols in London declined, and American five-twenties ad vanced. What is Oil reason of thief It is au old axiom of finance that high rates of interest mean bail se curity. The advance in the English discount rate means that there is a distrust of home paper. Couse thently the securities of America—a country distant from the war and likely to derive benefit from the war— enhanced in value. The higher the Bank of England puts the discount rate the better it will be for American credit, and the less likely are our bonds to be returned to us. This theory will explain also why gold, which on the news of the action of the Bank of England di rectors rose at first to In, declined subsequently to 1204. The weekly book statement is unfavorable. The total loss in reserveeis 81,300,000. ['garnet which the liabilities have been decreased only about $7,000,000. The loss In specie was expected, but considerable ear wig° was, occasioned by the decrease of $2,300,000 in legal lenders. It hi accounted for, .however, by the fact that in ad dtion to a medernte movement of currency to the interior there were large transfers ofderosits to the now German-American Bank, which is not yet in the Clearing House Association.

Advices from Rome state that the - French disasters cause profound terror and that the Pope has asked Eugenie for just one ship to defend him from the Italians now organizing for the attack on papal authority and the papal dominions. LONDON, Aug. B.—The latest information received directly from the seat of war this af ternoon-confirms the - news - in - every particular of the Prussian victory. The Prussians to-day occupy St. Avoid, the place where MacMahon's headquarters were located on Saturday. Marshal MacMahon's corps is in full re treat towards Nancy. It is thought in mili tary circles be is endeavoring to form a junc with the French forces at Metz. Gen. Frossard falling- back from Saar river with MaeMahon towards Nancy. The l / 4 corps'in the late engagement suffered heavy losses in both officers and men. Metz has been hurriedly placed in a state of defence. Every male person in the place has been pressed into service. The Advance of the Prussian Army. General Buffiniere is in command of the fortifications at Metz, and it is believed should MacMahon effect a junction with the forces there, that the victorious march of the Prus sian army through France may be checked. In the event of MacMahon being cut oft from Metz, there is not the slightest doubt but that General Buffiniere will be compelled to evacuate Metz, and fall back towards Paris. Napoleon has left Metz, and to-day estab lished his headquarters at Chalons-sur-Marne, a point just about half-way between Metz anti Paris. The whole of the Prussian reserves com menced moving yesterday and are rapidly coming up with the Prussian advance. The Prussian army, under command of the Crown Prince Frederick William, is advanc ing rapidly into the very heart of France and on a b ee-line for Paris. PRUSSIA. The Defeat of General Prosser'''. BERLIN, August S.—General Steinmetz telegraphs the following particulars of the contest between Von Gooben and the French forces under General Froward: The fight was opened on our side by the Fourteenth Division, which was subsequently reinforced by artillery and cavalry.

Meanwhile our Fifteenth Division had ad vanced from Vocklingen, taken Passel, and reached Forbach at nightfall, when the bro ken divisions of the French army were being driven upon that point. Hero the baggage and camp equipage of the two divisions and many prisoners were taken. LONDON, August B.—Rumors of the purchase by Prussia of the Stevens battery are dis credited there.
