rimy; THE. RHINE An Intenseiy Interesting Letter. . The following letter from an intelligent Prussian, who has spent many years in the United States r appears in the _Nation. It will be found well worthy of perusal: Jun', 22, 1870.—th the evening wewent to bed in peace, and in the morning we rose in war : so sudden was the change, so premedi tated the attack; so infamous, so silly the pre text, The German people would not deserve th exist as a nation, if it- did not rise like one man to resent the outrage, if it did not concen trate all its powers against the impudent breaker of the peace, against the infuriated hordes of duped Frenchmen. If you ask me for the sigh& ra temporis, answer: It is just as it was in 18,13; nay, it is still better, fin. in our war against the old Cor sican, it was only Northern Germany which took up arms, while in our present war against the Corsican's nephew the whole- nation is - - _ rising. There is nothing overbearing, nothing like iii,the deportment of any tlass of the people; ° lint everywhere you meet witi a manly resignation, an elevated calmness, and the earnest determinatton not to laTdown arms before the national enemy is humiliated and the honor of our fatherland avenged. Can- Bing as he is, Napoleon has made a great mis take this time. He expected to isolate Prussia by a purelT dynastic question ; badly informed, he relied eri the alleged dissatisfaction of South Germany, of — Hapover, Hesse, Nxseatr — iind Frankfort. But all over Uermany the people discovered at once the cloven foot, and it is difficult to say where the popular enthusiasm and willingness for sacrifice is greatest. Ilkinover, Cassel and Wiesbaden, the former residences of the dispossessed princes, strive to outdo all the other cities': in their de votion, and Frankfortithe reputed headquar ters of everything that is inimical to Prussia, nobly, rivals in _ patriotism her sister cities. . was present yesterday when the Frankfort re serves arrived in town. Think of the march of the Seventh Regiment through New York, on April 20,1804 and you have an approximate idea of the enthusiasm of the people. The young merchants had hastened home from Italy, Southern France, and England, to take np arms for their country, and there were a great many among them who were no longer compelkd to serve. Even the Duke of Nassua !Verily: :declared:that:in such - a war he never would accept his land and crown from the hands of Louis Napoleon, or, as General Butler would say, of "the greatest criminal of the age," and to make good his word the dethroned German Prince placed himself at the disposal of King William of Prussia. The Catholic no bility, who formerly sought distinction in the - service of. Austria ; -send-their-sonsto, the: Prits sian army. There are so many otters of volun teers that, they must partly be refused. Catho lic priests pray for the victory of Germany. Former party differences are forgotten and buried. Bavaria, Wtirtemberg and .Baden ac knowledged at once that the cause prderis was given, and, without being asked, mobilized their armies, to be put under the command of the Crown Prince of Prussia, and the same General Vogel von Falkenstein who defeated the Southern troops in 1866. "We were badly led in that campaign," 1 was told, the other day, by a Bavarian officer at the Mayence depot. "Now we are happy to tight under experienced generals, and to prove that Ave are of the same stock and of the same efficiency as our North ern brethren." How fortunate you Americans are ! You have - no powerful — and -- 7greedy - - - neighbors break into your country, ravage, violate, burn and destroy everything before them to satisfy an ambitious whim of their ruler ; to acquire more territory, or to gain preponderance over other powers. For. the last two hundred years we have suffered from these barbarous _inroads, which were begun by Louis XIV., and which will be terminated, I trust, under Louis Napoleon. I celebrated the last Fourth of July at Worms, on the Rhine, to show to my children the colossal statues of Luther and of his compeers, and, as the most dignified celebration of that glorious day, to explain to Them the intimate connection between the German Beforination and the American Revo lution. one-half of the city of Worms, famous of old through the Niebelungen, was, about 1170 years ago, destroyed by the French, who even tried to blow up the strong tower of the cathcdral, and the former proud, imperial city, ith its 70, , k kr inhabitants, is now a small country town of I 2,0 i I( I Go to Heidelberg, which owes its ruins to the French ; to Speyer, where they even robbed the coffins of the emperors, and to a thousand other towns and villages; -wan der through the Palatinate and along the Rhine for a hundred English miles—everywhere you will find the same marks of French brutality and devastation, left by "le grand monapme." The houses of hundreds of villages along the Rhme show strong old stone walls as fodutia- tions, and frame buildings erected on them by • the poor inhabitants, who had to rebuild their dwellings from among the ruins made by the French. Peruse any book of French history, and, with the sole exception of the noble .Michelet, you will find that these misdeeds are extolled as glorious exploits, as political neces sities. And the same thing was repeated four times during the last century, and now, march. Mo., as they pretend, at the head of civilization, the French want to repair their inroads once more. The Montenegrins, the gentlemen of the Tzernagora, arc mere beginners in that art of warfare which lute been brought to perfec- Lien by "te grende notion." Well. we will stand and repel the new attaek. We know beforehand the work will be bloody and heavy, but it must be done. It will cost us untold millions of treasure, hundreds of thousands of noble lives, seas of blood, end less misery, sullering„ and,slaughtering, but we ate:bound and determined to triumplein. the end. It will be a war between the Teutonic and Latin races, which Napoleon tried to bring about in IsG.4, when he broke into Mexico, and which was only put oil by the defeat of the slave-barons in Ilichwood. We Germans by fighting out this war will prove to the world that the civilization of the present century is stronger than the medheval traditions and rob bing propensities of reckless gamblers ; that the genius of civil liberty is more firmly established in Europe than the despotism of the French autocrat ; that the labor of generations per formed M the interest of peace and humanity . is a better keystone of social order than thubloody work of even the most efficient agents of tin Latin race, the African Bedouins, Spahis, and Traces. 'You, in your glorious struggle against slavery, relied on the sympa thies of the whole civilized world. You were not disappointed as far as Germany was concerned. Even our moneyed men believed in your ultimate success; our press, with a few insignificant exceptions, was in, your favor. and the l'inssian minister at Washington was the first of all foreign ,diplo niatists to wish you, in the name of his sovereign, good speed and victory. And the ,Ftench They„tricd to stab you from behind by invading. Mexico. • - • Our . cause too. is the cause.:,f linioardry_;_aud_l does not matter Whether a foreign or a domeAtie enemy< seeks the ruin of a civilized nation. Every farmer who tills his little patch of land, every mechanic who with the sweat t 0.16, Iwo earns a decent livelihood, every teacher of the peoplej—be he a schoolmaster in the remotest Western settlement or editor of the widest cir culating paper—who with his brains works to educate Ids fellow-citizens, every politician and statesman who believes in self-govermniee t national independence, every man who respects the ten commandments, in Short, every think ing being, must and will he on our side in this tremendous struggle. Yet, however strongly the moral weight of the whole - civilized world may be in our favor, it is not strong enough to defeat the enemy. In order to do that we must have the strongest battalions. In this respect we can favorably compare with the French. The -North German army-lias--447,838 --mon ready__ for the field - (304,310 infantry and '53,523 cavalry), with 1,212 cannon ; besides • 164,035' . reserves, with 234 cannon, and 154,232 men, with .234 cannon, to be left behind for garriSon duty; to 'which number 169,802 Southern Germans, With 310 cannon, are to be added. Thus an actual force of 936,801 men and 2,050 cannon is reached, which is divided into three armies, namely: I. The Southern army, under the Crown-Prince of Prussia; . 2. The Northern army, under Prince Charles Frederick of Prussia; and 3. The Rhine army, at present under the command of King William of Prussia. Nothing -is known hero beyond these mere outlines, the movements of the troops being strictly kept secret. The French, on the other side, have 658,000 men in active service and as reserves, of I : whom 380,000 are ready for the field ; beside - stkhey have, since 1868, a" national mobile guard," which is to garrison the fortresses, but thus far has not shown its efficiency ; while the Prussian land webr will favorably compare with - any soldiers in the' army. The French have only 9S.S , vannon of different sizes, but 14-1 mitrail lenses ; the practical value of this newly-in vented wholesale murdering machine, how ever,-is-still-to-be-tested.__The—Freneb of course, much larger than the German, and our commerce will consequently sullbr enor mously. The French, having had time fully to prepare before declaring war, are about ten days ahead of us, and may be able to reach the left bank of the Rhine by the end of the present month. We do not mean to fight before we are in the proper condition, and rather prefer temporarily tagive up .some territory than to risk a battle with insufficient forces. You may 'leek fore the first pitched battle in'the latter' .part of August. Whatever its result'may be, one great thing we owe to Louis Napoleon, and for one great benefit every intelligent German thanks Min : Ile has perfected what thus far we could not consummate ourselves ; he has made Germany one great, united empire ; he has inspired thirty-eight millions of Germans with - one will, one energy, and one determination to tri umph .and to con bier. .The North German GonfederatiOiriiitikeS her laSt' appearance On the political stage—bne united Germany, a new first-class power, will appear in its place. Hail to the new arbiter of the peace of Europe ! BISIIOPS OF CHURCH 'Who Are the Cowing 3lfett? The death of two active Bishops of the Methodist Church, says the New York hole-- pendent, has left but seven, of whoM two are entirely disabled by infirmity. The number of bishops is regulated in the Methodist Church by the necessities of the case, and there will doubtless be four new ones elected at the General Conference in ftay, 1872. Of course, this fact has set a great 'deal of conjecture afloat, iii regardto the men who are most likely to be elected. All of this gossip is, of course, studiously ignored by the Methodist papers. But, as we have no candidates, and are above suspicion and entirely outside, we may, in this dull dog-day weather, repeat some of the floating guesses. It is generally conceded that the older men, who were talked of long ago, will not be elected now. Minor B aymond, whose triumphant speech on the slavery question in the General . Conference of 1656 stamped him one .of the greatest orators of the age, would hardly accept the arduous ollicerot a bishop now ; and Abel Stevens, his antagonist then, w il i, perhaps, be content to rest on his laurels as the greatest of Methodist historical writers and one of the greatest of chinch historians. Dr. Curry's course on the lay-delegation question, and his general tendency to the position of " oil ox," would doubtless shut him out, even if it were not for the "almond blossoms that tell his age." He is beyond doubt the ablest debater and the Most logical, as w ell as the most obstinate; of ill the leading men of the Church, His great speech on the " Mission Contrence " question, in the last General Conference, was never answered, was utterly unanswerable. We dillered horn him, but logically his ground was invulnerable. The venerable I) r. W neede n and the Drs. Peck are beyond an election, though of Dr. Jesse Peck we are not sure. Perhaps the man most prominent now is Presi dent E. O. Haven, of the Northwestern Uni versity. Some think he will not, accept. We have no means of knowing his views in this regard. But we do not know a Methodist minister in the - United States that, in our opinion, would refuse this great office. We have never heard but one objection urged to Dr. Haven. Ile is a man of wide culture, and we heard/ a member of the Conferetiee of 1'438 declare that he would never vote for Dr. Haven, because he would open the _Wontie ~.I.lifidhly before the Methodist Quarterly. After Dr. Haven, we hear the name of Dr. Wiley, of the Ludic's' lieposifory, mentioned. It has got to be the fashion to elect the editor of that magazine to the Episcopacy. Dr. Reid, of the N. Ir. Christian Advocate, is spoken of, and would make a genial, retitled and scholarly Bishop. His predecessor, Rev. Dr. Eddy, now of Baltimore, will without doubt be pressed by iris friends, who are devotedly attached to him. But Dr. Eddy has confined himself almost wholly to his pastoral labors of late, as if determined to keep out of prominence. Two pastors in New York are frequently spoken of. Dr. Foster is an able preacher, and at the beginning of the last General Conference had a very fine prospect for an election if there had been one then. our esteemed contributor, Dr. Cyrus D. Foss, is Coming more' d more into view as a fore ordained Bishop and his chances are considered in the Very first lass. He is yet young and vigorous. No man of a very radical and aggressive stamp has ever yet been elected to the Episcopacy ; but Gilbert Ilaysnis's Criends seem to think that the custom of excluding such men may be broken. But after all this gossip, it is but just to say that probably none of these men are seeking the ollke. Nothing, indeed, is so fatal to a man spoken of for the Methodist Episcopacy as a faint suspicion of self-seeking. There are others mentioned in addition to those whose names are here given, and it is more than probable that some inlet locally prominent will be brought forward at the last hour and elected. - Letter from Ueuert►l W11111(211 The Indianapolis Jourma is permitted to n take the following extracts from a letter re ceived by Senator Morton front ( ieneral Au gust IV illicit, who is now in Europe.

FREDEHICII Barr TILE ➢lErtionxsr than in IW, and after this murderous gam bler, Louis Napoleon, called by the Pope " the most most Monarch'," shall have finished his abominable career, the time for re forms in Europe will begin. Is it not surprising that the declaration of the Infhllibility of the. Pope and the:declaration_ of war by Catholic France against Prussia; the only political and military power , of Protest antism on the European continent, fall to gether? The, political power . of ~,the Catholic hierarchy will be broken with the power of France. A victory of the Prnssian, and; Q.cr man armies will be just,as :."defeat,' 'of those dark powers' in the United States, Which try to alienate our Catholic tellow-eitizens from those institutions which form the very, basis of our Republic. We can well say that_ the battles gained on the Rhine and at Paris:will save us so many intestinal struggles in our own coun try. * " • It appears that public opinion' in the United States settles more and more down to the con viction that their only true,reliable and mate rially and intellectually profitable ally in' Eu rope will be the German nation. If this war should last longer than three or four months, which can only take placein case of one or more defeats of the German armies, it is very probable that the United State will interfere : or at leaSt allow thair_German-Ameri can citizens to participate. Then, what Ger man American could live among other nations if his nation should be crushed by the boasting Trench ? We understand here that the least the - United States can do in the'beginning is to secure the freedom of the sea for civil commerce against piracy.

Seventy thousand reinforcements have already ntoved to the front. General Charigarnier_has( conimaiadant'd the fortressat.

August, e of to-day ays. that at a secret meeting, yesterday, of the L Ley;:datii, - 31. Farm developed with ability and moderation a proposition that a mmittee of defence, having supreme power, be ,tipointed by the Chambers. Count Pali kao, with tact, avoided an acrimonious dis cussion. A deputy asked the Count whether he wished to lie minister of the Tuileries or of the Chambers, and lie replied that he had the utmost confidence in the patriotism of the Chambers, and would be guided by them, but he deemed the formation of a committee of defence as incompatible with the regular duties of the government. Deputy Gambetta made au able speech in favor of the proposition of 31. Pavre, but on a vote being taken only 50 to 60 deputies voted for the Int, ion, and it was lost. Preparations for the defence of Paris con tinue to be energetically pushed forward, and e of a colossal character. It is thought the Prussian demonstration on Strasbourg is only a feint. . August 14.—The Jauenal Ofil cid c'ontains the ibilowing intelligence, which it is authorized to give to the public :At the be ginning of the war with Prussia the Emperor received addresses from the principal native chieftains of Algeria, who asked that they might be permitted to march and tight by the side of our troops, and to open subsctiptions for the sufferers by the war., The Empress Regent, ou the report of the Deeper of the Seals, has commuted and reduced the sentences of 10441 convicts, now confined in all kinds of - pehitentiary establishments in Fiance and beyond the sea. The Imperial clemency is applied especially to those Whose uniform good conduct has given the prisoner a claim to indulgence. tine of the public journals of this city still . presumes to doubt that real work is going pu for the armament and defence of Paris. Al though-it may be an act of treason to speak thus in the face of the enemy, such insinua tions impose the necessity of a reply, not. withstanding the danger of doing so. All mate rial necessary for the armament of Paris is in Paris itself. More than kiit hundred cannon are already Mounted on the walls of those forts which are likely to be first threatened with at tack, and the work of placing other pieces in position continues without interruption day and night. Yesterday, 7,:Al workmen were engaged in cutting off the streets leading into Paris. This work has been completed, and nothing remains but to close up the openings in the walls, and place drawbridges in position. Thousands of laborers are occupied outside the walls on the earthworks, mines, ditches', etc., which tire to connect and complete the network of thrtitica tions around the capital. These facts and figures we are obliged to give, in order to reply to perfidious and erroneous insinuations, and to restore confidence to good citizens. If such questions should be renewed, their authors will have to answer for their conduct before a council of war, Where they will be subj !ct to all the consequences of the law, for there am • hetirs, and in ore • than ever, when justice cannot be:permitted to, sleep.

He also stated that 13azaine was now absolute commander-in-thief-of the army. r - r- - M. Gambetta demanded immediate action on the proposal of Jules Favre, resolving the Corps Legislatif into a Committee of - Defence. M.
