The meagre news received from the seat of war indicates the steady advance of the Prus sian Crown Prince and the continued retreat of Mac - WM ion, wbo has abandth7l - de severs strong positions without an attempt to defend them. We learn that the French marched out of Saverne on Sunday night just as the Prus sian advance entered the town. Yesterday we conjectured that MacMalion had retired from this place to Pfalzburg, astrongly fortified. place which commands the highway—through the great central pass in the VosgeS, just as Sa verne commands the railway. It is asserted now, however, that the First Prussian army corps has occupied Pfalzburg; and the supposi tion is that litiellahon has either retreated - precipitately to Nancy; - leaving \this important pass wholly unprotected ; or has' determined to make a stand at Saarburg, a town at the west ern end of the pass, twelve miles from Sa verne, And. from which railways stretch;away north to Saarbruck and west to . Nancy. This latter suppdsition is founded wholly upon the theory that MacMabon will consider defence of -the pass of vital necessity, and will choose this, perhaps the most available position, for its protection. It may be, however, that he considers a junction of his force with the main body of the French army imperatively neces sary, and will press straight forward. A portion of the army of the' Crown Prince has made a movement in another direction. The cable despatch says " it has passed through the Vosges and bivouacked at Dumeringen, near Saarlouis." There are no Vosges mortn - tains in the immediate vicinity of Saarlouis; there is no such place as Dumeriugen, and Saarlouis is in Prussia, while we know that the - whole German army is in France. The fact probably is that a small portion of the Prussian force has occupied Dralingen, a small town five miles froth Pfalzburg, where the main body is. near Saar-Union, and at the foot of the Vosges mountains. This position would give the Prus sians control of the public roads leading to o e z and - St. Avold. --The- -only -conclusions-::which-::we can-form from this report of the situation are that the Prussian left is not yet past the Vosges and in the valley of the Moselle, but that it controls all the avenues of approach, and will probably soon be in the very front of the French right at Nancy. The despatch to the New York Herald to the effect that the French had evacuated Metz and were in full retreat is wholly un worthy of credence: The position of the army is at present very strong, and it cannot find a bE tter place to Meet an assault than it has at. at Metz, at any point between the latter city and Paris. It is nearly certain that the hp ; preaching battle will be fought in the immedi ate neighborhood of Metz and Nancy. PRESSIAN STRATEGY That Louis Napoleon should have plunged into the war that now threatens the overth.sov' of his dynasty, with no better military prepara tion than appears to have been made. evinces either a singular ignorance of the whole situation, or a dread and hatred of Prus sia which he could no longer control. French clan, about which the despatches have so much to say, is a fine thing fora . storming party or a forlorn hope, but it will not take the place of numbers, or of complete preparation. At the outbreak of the war, Prussia was to be ..overwhelmed, because France had a week the start of her. The French army was represented as numbering. anywhere from half-a-million to a million men, and their superior faculties for transportation and style of armament were to carry them triumphantly over the Rhine, and into Berlin, before the middle of August. Row Prussia has "changed all that" has al- ready entered into history. She has proved herself, as Napoleon ought to have known that she would, more than ready to defend herself, and her armies, springing to a war-footing within a fortnight, have not only defended their:invaded soil, but have struck such quick and hard blows that the astonished Napoleon has found the grasp of his enemy upon his throat, almost before he has had time to or ganize his campaign or to combine his armies. Prussia has showed herself thoroughly ready; while Paris and Metz both reveal that Napoleon has plunged into war without count ing the cost. Bismarck,—for to his master mind may be referred the policy that has %you such distinguished prestige for the Prussian arms,—bas only carried out the old strategy of Frederick the Great. Carlyle, prefacing his comments on the second Silesian war, in his Life of Frederick the Great, says, in words that have a singularly apt reference to the present state of affairs : ' , Battle being once seen to be inevitable, it was Friedrich's plan not to wait for it, but to give it. Thanks to Friedrizb Wilhelm and himself, there is no Army nor ever was any, in such continual preparation. Military people say, Some Countries take six months, and some twelve, to get in motion for war but in three weeks Prussia can be across, i The oiatchoi and iiport. the tltroat enemy; whichis an . inimense advantage to littleTrus ' sia among its big neighbors. Some Gou l d ries have a longer sword than Peussiu ; but 'tune .ean 'unsheathe it so 800ii.' We hope, too, it is moderately sharp, when wielded by a dell band." How completely Carlyle's estimate of Prus sian strategy is illustrated by the events of the past week I Prussia is "across the marches and npon.the throat of her enemy." The enemy's " longer sword," concerning which so much was bo - asted,lite chastiepot and the .mitrailleur, -., w'S , F.. which to sweep down the Prussian lines, or ever ijicy came within range - of rciPlY - , have been:made practically powerless by the swift, erliElbtng advance of the heavy batallions of .the Crown Prince. Prussia has preserved the traditions of her - great - King in 'practical -readi ness and force; while France and her Emperor; preserving the name and the ambition of the first Napoleon, have failed to maintain that preparation in time of peace, which alone can give success in the time of such a war. THE ORPHAN ,WORK OF PJOINSYL- vANJA. At the conclusion of the second series of annual examinations of the schools of the Soldiers' 'Orphan Department of Pennsylvania, it is worth while to take a brief retrospect of what the State has done for the schools, and what the schools have done for themselves and for tbe State. - The Soldiera''Orplian system was establislied under Governor Curtin in 1864, and has been carried forward with the same spirit by his suc cessor, Governor Geary. At the end of the present - fiscal year, - $2;603;131 - 67-will-have-becii expended on these soldiers' or bans, including the $50,000 ccintAbuted by e Pennsylvania Railroad Company. If „s_amount is large, it _ tv must - not - be - forptten=that-- Pennsylvania,-tooi is large, and that she first inaugurated the sys tem, which she has perseveringly maintained for six years, in that time sheltering over six thousand almost helpless orphans. The bene fits and blessings that have constantly flowed from thesainstitutions are almost incalculable, and instead of regretting the expenditure, we have greater reason to be proud of the work 'we have accomplished than the people of . any State or nation in the world. Thousands of children, who otherwise would have been left in poverty and rags, without prope -- i --guardianship,----to grow - up - -in-- ignorance • and deghdation, the State has set upon their feet and made of them men and women of enlighteninent, 'an honor and an ornament to society. . Widows' hearts have -been lightened andilieii: bosoms .made to swell with gratitude to the. State that has kept its Pledges to the end. The period of difficulty and trial has substantially passed. Even attire very time when men, were loudest in their carping at expenditures, not only was the maxi mum number in our soldiers' orphans' schools reached, but we were already rapidly on the descending scale. On the first of June, 1869, there were in the forty-two orphan schools and homes 3,631 children. Up to that time the tendency annually was largely upwards. - There are now but 3,530 in the schools, notwith - standing 530 new admissions ordered during last year, the discharges so largely exceeding the admissions.-- This shows a decrease of 101 since 1869. Furthermore, there were, June 15t,_1869, 701' applications for admission on file_ in the department ; _ this year there are.but 622, a decrease of 79, so that the actual net gain in one year has' been 180, counting all the appli cants as already incumbents, they havingajust claim upon the Commonwealth. , . _ Then 'here is a great ietting-down in another respect. , The solution has, as it were, com menced at both ends of the ,prpblem. Now children can not be • admitted under eight: years of age, leaving only eight years of ex pense to the State, as there are scarcely 200 of right years - and under now in the schools, equal to but one of the smallest advanced institu tions. Tear by year the reduction will be in still greater proportion. It will thus easily be seen how rapid must be the reduction in the expenses. Col. McFarland estimates that the appropriation of last winter will cover all the 1 disbursements of the department, and that in 1671 the appropriation needed will be-very materially lowered. An interesting feature of the Pennsylvania ' system, not generally understood, is that not a dollar has been spent by the State for school buildings, while in the other States which have partially followed our example a large part of their appropriations have been expended in this way. In Ohio, with a system not so old or good as that of. Pennsylvania, the State has erected a number of cottage houses at a very large expenditure from its treasury—say from lifty to sixty thousand dollars—for the accommo dation of a very small number of children,with ft cm ten to twenty thousand dollars annually to each institution for repairs alone. Yet the rate per pupil, yearly, is larger than in Penn sylvania. lit New Jersey, with only a minia ture systt in, the cost on the building at Tren ton has been $33,000, with $l5O for each pupil. In Indiana, where the system is yet in its in fancy, $1`..0,0G0 were, in 11;68, expended by the State for buildings, land and repairs. • In lowa, for t he last three years, $200,000 have been paid 1..3 the State for the maintenance of about twelve hundred children in all, in three homes, Davenport, Cedar Falls and.Glenwood. Here soldiers' orphans are admitted, from the age of. two to nineteen years. At Davenport there are fifteen cot tages, large recitation buildings and a costly chapel. AP the buildings are found and fru.- nished by the State. In Wise( nsin it has cost the State, during the last three years, $104,000 for a total of 170 children in one school— building purchased by the State. The Trea suty of Pennsylvania never paid one cent towards the erection or purchase of a single one of the many large structures now used as soldiers' orphans' schools. What would mem bers of the Legislature have said had Governor Curtin recommended the erection of such buildings as those at Dayton, Ohio, and Daven port, lowa, for the accommodation of our " Children of the Commonwealth?" Had we copied after other States, instead of furnishing the original pattern, this additional expenditure would doubtless have devolved upon Pennsyl vania. As it was, all the buildings were erected .or obtained at the expense of private Duties, with a subsequent admonition that their in vestments were made at their own risk; and all of the schools except one, Cassville, which was purchased at a very low price, are yet heavily in debt for buildings and repairs; and the. only income tifirst.them .bave had to cover their large outlay . of capital has been • the quarterly payment of a certain rate per pupil, regulated arbitrarily by the law-Making power annually. A brief glance at the schools as they have presented themselves at the recent annual ex amination presents most satisfactory results. While the numbers are'deereasing, the tone of the schools is steadily improving. The hull: •N: idu al lira!) y among them for good averages in educational blanches was a noticeable feature of the 'eNaininations: There wu,s a great ca- , - • ' . . • PHILADELPIA EVENING ~BULLETIN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1870. t,einess to be the "banner school," to win some distinctive murk of advancement over and above rdlAhe rest. Rivalry, when con ducted fairly and in good temper, is of course pioductive of mental improvement, because it' - incites the - children - to - more - determination - in their studies. 'I his honorablecompetition was carried to such a degree in nearly all the schools that the pupils, for weeks pror to the examination, voluntarily devoted themselves to their books till late-in the evening. Altogether) the examinations were searehing and the credits marked by the.. Boards of Examiners with conscientious scrupulousness.„ The plan pursued is to select four impartial educators— old and experienced teachers are preferred— who, with the State Superintendent, or the In. Spector, constitute the Board, and each one marks the pupil, as he-or she recites, on the scale of one hundred, as his judgment may dic tate. The sum _of these:credlts_divided_by.five gives the average of the individual Or the class. More evenness'of judgment between the schools might be attained if all were examined by tl e _same persons ; but this plan is not feasible without cost, because of the great number of schools, so widely separated. The averages this year show a surprising improvement over the last and a greatly increased capacity for learning. ERREPRESIBLE ANDREW. Irrepressible Andrew Johnson, it is an nounced, is again struggling into the vortex of politics. The Demopacy of the First Con gressional District of r Tennessee, have nomi nated the restless old politician. The last rep resentative from that District was the highly honorable Roderick. R. Butler, now under prosecution for forgery and swindling. But ler was nominally a Republican, and was elected by a majority so large that it would seem ra ther doubtful that Andrew Johnson can creep into notice and position again through that par ticular loop-hole. That he would accept any attainable office is very certain. Utterly una ble to appreciate the dignity of the Presidency, he would find nothing unbecoming in - starting again at the bottom of the ladder, if he thought that there was the slightest possibility of his living long enough to scramble up again to any considerable eminence. Any place that will give employment to his bitter tongue, or enable him to practice the degrading tricks of the demagogue will suit . Andrew Johnson, and the only wonder is that he has not already managed, in one way or another, to push him selt, once more, into the arena of political life. He would be a terrible nuisance in Congress, by reason of his love for intrigue, his noisy tongue, and his • venomous vindictiveness. However small his actual influence might be, —and few men wield much real influence •in Congress who fail to command personal re spects,—be has such an unpleasant aggressive ness about him, that it would be impossible to ignore him as he should be ignored. Like the old woman of ancient song, " Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet; • And yet this old woman could never keep quiet." - If the Democracy of Tennessee want to be represented by, this-turbulent old man, they should at least confine his performances within his own State. It is too bad to alarm the people by these threats of ,turning him loose upon the country at large. Here is a specimen of the nonsense sent over the Cable last night by the agents of the Tri bune and the Associated Press : " The Prussian armies are reported to he penetrating France in three great divisions by way of Forbach or Metz,by Wissembourg ami by Mulhausen. They evidently intend cross ing the Vosges and making for Nancy the first thing." Metz is occupied by the main body of the French army, so the Prussians are not "pene trating France" to any considerable extent tbroug t h that city. The Crown Prince " pene trated" Wissembourg five days ago, and ac cording to this very same despatch he is now at Saverne, forty miles distant. A Prussian force " penetrated" Mulhausen last Tuesday, and is probably now besieging Strasbourg. Dietz, the first place mentioned, is west of the Vosges, and if Prince Frederick Charles " pene trated" it, he would not have to "cross the Vosges," and he could have no earthly motive for "making for Nancy the first thing." The force that came from Wissembourg will "cross the Vosges and make for Nancy the first thing' if MacMahon does not bar the way. Probably, nobody but lie knows whether this will be the case or not. The fact is that au intellig,ent observer of the situation in this country better informed of the actual condition of af fairs than these special correspondents, wh have been kicked out of both armies, and art , compelled to make up despatches at such a dis tance from the field that they know nothin from observation, and so close to it that they cannot avail themselves of the usual means of procuring information. It was evidently !he intention of NapoleOn to gain personal gloa y from the expected suc cess of the French arms in the present con flict. For this reason he assumed command of the army ; and he now clings to the position in the hope that future triumphs may not only make his government secure but may win him that militmy renown which is iu France the surest guarantee of personal popularity. HE. assumption of the direction of the army, how ever, has injured him perhaps more than any thing else. It was a fatal mistake, which cannot be atoned by the sacrifice of Marshal Le &cur. The French people fully understand that the Emperor played Commander-in-Chief, and would have claimed all the credit if the arm \ had been victorious. With exact justice they hold him responsible for defeat, and the de nunciation of his exhibition of incapacity and ignorance is terribly bitter and severe. The odium of having begun the war without provo cation would have been a heavy enough bur• den for him, even if disaster had resulted from - the incapacity of his Generals. The double responsibility resting:upon him ' now might to • and probably will insure his Utter ruin. The investure of Strasbourg is confirmed, if indeed it needed to be, in view of the well know c fact that there is no large number of French troops east of the Vosges Mountains. If Mac- Mahon is in the Moselle valley ho _has abitm dolled Strasbourg to its fate, and it is too rich a prizeAO neclected by the Prussians. Its surrender is, of course, only a question of lime. Reports a few days ago declared that it contained a garrison of seven thousand men; ater accounts assert [that it is defended by one regular infantry regiment and a small force of national guards. The latter statement is probably correct. The French commander would hardly expose a lame force to certaincap ture ; the only matter Igr surprise is -that the city was not evacuated entirely. We may ex pect to hear of its Occupation by the Prussians at any moment. Bunting.

The reconnoitering party BUCCeSS fully returned with the object of the expedi tion accomplished. The Prince Imperial. It is now positively known by advices from etz . that the Prince Imperial still remains at that place, he not having been recalled from the front as reported. It is rumored that Marshal.

J Fittnair, August I2.—Wall Street was disturbed to-day by the presentation to it of two conundrums, in the eolutkn of which it was largely occupied during the hours of business,- to the exclusion of more profitable occupation and the con fusion of values First in chronological ord- r among these was the precise meaning of Minister Illagne'e pro position in the French Chambers " that the paper circulation of the bank of France be limited to a thousand millions of trance:" A " limitation" can scarcely mean an increase, eapecially when the existing legal circulation was fourteen hun dred millions ; yet as such it has been generally inter yfitraseology-of-thedespatchccrmmunicating-- the fact of this new imams is sufficiently doubtful to give rise to considerable speculation and inquiry in Wall street as to its pre cisemeaning, which no one was pre pared to positively declare. It swots, however, but rea eonable to suppose that the IliaMf the wor t " paper" means a new and additional issue of irredeemable cur rency to the extent mentioned,separate and distinct from previous issues parable in coin. Conundrum No:2 was suggested by the suspension of specie pal manta by the bank of France, and involved its proper influence upon this Mark et e taken ill eon nection with ..probable similar . action in Berlin should the' war be prolonged. The most general expectation was an advance in the pre mium • but there are those w ho hold that such a proceed ing willl interrupt the movement of specie ; that In con sequence a decline •• may be 'looked' - for: 'Against' the latter view is toe assertion that - bills of exchange - drawn Iron] here and entstandieg will require the ship ment of coin to meet them. It is but proper to say the latter position is disputed, and its solution would seem at this time to be as difficult as many questions involved in the operation of our own legal tender act. It is con fidently asserted by some however, that bills of ex change already drawn will be so met. The situation is, to say the least, complicated. In the gold market the Operators, ignoring all the later questions involved in the new situation, acted - promptly upon the expectation that this transition from a specie-paying system to one hosed upen gov ernment credit would, at all events, temporarily advance the price of gold; and went - in at. once - upon the Bull. side. ... Gni& opened -at but _upon - their free parchases was advanced in the-course of the day to 11114'. In the progress of this _movement, in addition to the items above referred to, they were helped b_y the changes in that vague quantity known as "the Lotdon quetat ion" for our bonds. Various and contradictory reports were received concerning its fluc tuations, as on every day. the manner of transmitting such information being of the most confusing character. Taking the most reliable sources of- information, the course of the English mare et appears to have been, for 62'8,861i at the start. 85?.4 to 86 at noon, and 86ts'../30; at the dose, which movement is, however, but partially reflected In that of gold here. Consols. by the same preferred avenue of intelligence, appear tialtave advanced,.being quoted at 90%;a91i5. and at the close 91a9131. This advance in consols Is but the natural effect of the r.duction of the Hank of England tete of discount, which is in itself neither more not less then an appreciation in the value of home securities.

FROM WASHINGTON. Colored Voters In Virginia. (Special Dee paten to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—Mr. Daniels,Chair man of the Virginia State Conservative Com mittee, is out in a letter denying that his Coin mittee have urged the redistricting of the State before the Congressional election, and the tone of the papers in accord with that Committee show the project has been aban doned. Mr. Daniels also publishes an appea to the colored voters from a - Maryland negro to support the native whites at the polls. The following extract shows its character : -- " - I — belie‘.e it is to the — true — interest of — th• whites and colored people of the South to be friends—political and personal friends—for we are all afloat in a common vessel, and if we get to quarrelling she is sure to capsize and go down with both. They were born on the same soil, raised there, live there now, and expect to die there. What ever increases the prosperity .of one increases that of the other. We know the whites of the South, and that whatever they intend they speak out, and have no sly, secret, underhand purposes. I, for my part, have confidence in them, and if they betray it it will be the first time. I intend to go with the whites of my own native land, and I advise my colored friends that their only hope and safety in the future is to do the same." The Virginia Democratic papers publish this, and accompany it with editoriaLs making - high bids fur negro votes. ' - FROM NEW YORK.
