"They went forward to Blesme (28 in: ics S.E. of Chalons and miles E. of Vitry, on !lie rail road from Chalons byway of Vitry and Nancy to Metz, and at the junction of the branch railroad to Chaumont). There they found that the railway was cut,: and they fell back. No railway communication exists between Chalons and either Metz or Verdun. "We do not know where the French main army is, butfbe .Prumian vanguard is waver Cha lun.s than Bazaine is. There is no force here ca pable of resisting an attack. to far nothing but the cavalry of tl.e, Prussians is heard of; but they were yesterday within twenty miles of Cbalons, and were destroying the railway at will."

The refusal of the British Govern ment to consider coal as contraband of war is also causing considerable dissatisfaction in Prussia, as the movements of the French fleet would be seriously retarded if the export of coal. from.

The London Post is very irate at the un mistakable menace contained in Count Bis niarck's.moutlipiece,and reminds Prussia that in the event of her violating the neutrality of Belgibm the first to resentthe outrage would be the Power whose commerce and prestige she has threatened to extinguish.

I will send the text. • of an offer made in 1866, according to which France proposed to aid Prussia with 300,000 men against Austria, and to permit Prussia's aggrandizement by six or eight millions of subjects in return for the cession to France of the_district _between _the Mine-and- the -.Mo— selle. The impossibility of agreeing to this course was clear to all except French diplo matists. On this proposition being rejected, the French government began to calculate upon our defeat. France has not ceased to tempt us with offers to be carried out at the cost of Germany and Belgium. In the interests of peace I kept them secret.

BISMARCK. A queer Sort of Theory._ _ The'rreen - i an's Jolt the leading Catholic - ; - ottrnal of this country, takes the following utterly preposterous view .of :Napoleon's dis asters: Under date of July - 30th, the Papal Govern ment at Rome has addressed to all its agents, at Inane and abroad, its declaration ocom plete neutrality in regard to the war pending between France and Prussia. How are the 9 1, .. 1, rme ) iieltesK:tlatlioiimor - PT.Otestanti that hate ileclared this a war of religions-creeds, going to get over this? Do they claim to understand Catholic interests better than the Holy Father and the Court of Rome? Some do! And we pity their self-conceit. We believe in no Divine right lines of suc cession to temporal thrones. Nor do we be lieve in any .Heaven-given prerogative, for any temporal power to be God-chosen pro tector 01 the Holy See. France has had this place for a long time. But it looks as if, under the Carb(MUTO Napoleon 111., she is about to lose it. What happens? His best marshals are found unprepared on the field of battle. Soldiers are found without cartridges when attacked by the enemy. French armies are found with out videttes to warn them of coming attacks. The French armies, without any regard to their well-known martial magnificence, are crumpled up and slaughtered, by wholesale, by the Prussians. So much for the Napoleon dynasty that abandoned the Pope, and was instantly aban doned by the Lord of Heaven, whose Vicar on earth the Popp is. Et MOW intelligite reds ; tfrueliMini out juthastis terrain Rome .can do without Louis Napoleon, and without France ! Let the French be Sure of that !'' Nit Linds Napoleon is' gone, Without Ileum and this Pope. The only reason for the k'xistenee of the rule of the man called Louis Napoleon was that, at certain times, and to a very beggarly extent, he gave the protection of glorious Irance to the Papal independence. I n these last weeks he liiis, like a craven mountebank, deserted this role that he was nlaying in compliance with -French Catholic sentiment and demand. Cfesarfstu and Defeat. Mr. G. W. Curtis says in Hamper's Weekly for this wenk : The most poWerful argument in historical experience for the practical superiority of, the popular form of government was the compo sure with which this country; at the end of a terrible civil war,. endured the assassination of its Chief Magistrate. There was a great shock, a, profound sorrow and indignation, and public tianquillity immediately settled Over the trage dy like the deep sea over a stone cast into it. It may be truly said that there was no appre hension of any interruption of the operation of the government. There was merely a cu rious looking to see if perfect provision had i been made for its continuance n the event of the assassination of all - the chief officers. The secret of the public security was that the Gov ernment represents the popular with The folly of Cfesarism, of any form of per sonal government, in a modern state of high civilization, is now apparent. The Pli.4,biscitum has been cited as proof of the essential popu larity and consequent strength of the empire. What are the facts? In 1852 Louis Napoleon was elected Emperor by nearly 8,000,000 of votes against less than 300,000. In 1870 his title was confirmed by a vote of 7,000,000 against 1;600,000. Louis Napoleon said, "The nation has settled the question." This was at the end of May. In the beginning of August he loses a battle, and the question proves to be wholly unsettled. His throne totters not from the threat of a foreign foe, but from domestic hos- Wily. Yet there has been no serious change of public opinion. In the spring Louis Napoleon said, "I giveyou the alternative—Lint empire . .Or; anarchy." France could not, of Course, Vete for anarchy,and it supported the empire as the least'of two evils. But the empire was not the choice Of France. .If seven millions of Frenchmen had really and honestly sup - ported the Napoleoniau dy nasty in May, does anybody suppose that a military reverse' in August would have endan gered it? On the contrary, nothing would have so strengthened it. The effect of the first defeat in this war is to show the utter hollowness of the Napoleonic system; and, .whatev.er.thefuture.chances of the campaign may be, every, thoughtful man must see that ,there is no - hope of permanent trauqUillity.in (France until the Government is really in' ac cord with the _people. But this accord can APE never he accomplished by any form of Cmsar ism or Napolconism. American A3nipatily for Prussia. Ilarper's Weekly says : In the present war there is really but one party in this country as elsewhere. It is a war •in which Napoleon is on one -side and the rest of the world on the other: The largo number of citizens in, the United States of German birth naturally sympathize with their fatherland, and eloquently express that sym pathy. Some of the leaders of the Republican party, with which they are generally . allied, -Lave declared their interest in the German cause and their ardent hopes for its success. But such sympathy is in no proper sense partisan. It is the instinctive feeling of all intelligent men. They perceive that this is really a war waged by Louis Napoleon for his own - private per - sonar interest, although under the name of France. And they acknowledge the simple truth of Bing William's declara tion am compelled to draw the sword to ward off a wanton attack-,--It is a great conso lation to me before God and man that I:have• in no way given a pretext for it. Itly con science acquits me of having provoked pa war, and I am certain of the righteousness of our cause in the sight,of . .•- The whole moral sympathy of the United States,-therefore,-is aga i nst - th e-wantorrbre-ake-r— -of the peace of the world. But we are, of course, neutrals in acti6n, although not in feeling. Net is there-anything more comic than a sermon upon the necessity and pro priety of neutral feeling; or a suggestion that, as we are neutrals, our moral sense must be suspended. It was not suspended when Tur key tortured Greece, in 1823; nor more recently when the same power was throttling Crete. Yet our sympathy-is hardly likely to, display itself, as that with France was dis played in 1793, by raising a liberty cap in the New York Exchange, draped with the united hags of two countries. It is not a sympathy which will disturb international relations, because it comprehends the criminal folly of taking a part iu every quarrel. HOW THE HORMONE) VOTE.

Although it is now many years since Brig, ham Young and his elders left the haunts of civilization for the wilderness of Salt Lake, they show a skill in political chicanery that puts even the Tammany chiefs to the blush for their awkwardness and lack of skill.

Here in town three men, apostates, who had been naturalized by ie Probate Courts, and had voted on the strength of such naturalization for years without question, were informed that their papers were good for nothing, as none but the District Courts had power to naturalize. How would it do to set aside as illegal the votes of all polygamists and their wives ? If mir opposition toolygamy means anything, p why not? And all those cast by unnaturalized citizens, including those naturalized by the Probate Courts? There is little doubt, if this could be done, that Maxwell would be elected, even nom"- DISRAELI AND THE ROTHSCHILDS Appearance of the Author of 6 . Lot hat r.' A London correspondent of the New York P ,, st says : Passing down Piccadilly a few afternoons ago, .I saw the author of " Lothair " alight frum his barouche, in which was seated " Vis ountess Beaconsfield," at Baron Rothschild's splendid mansion. L could perceive no differ ence in his appearance since I saw him two years ago; he has the same easy walk and lithe figure. Probably he is the best known public man in London since the days of Lord Brougham. He is not in the least like any one else, and the worst memory for faces could not fail-to retain a recollection of his. Baron Rothschild's mansion stands next to that of the Duke of Wellington, which it quite overshadows, at Hyde Park corner, and litt:t not long been completed.

The Rothschilds have taken root very kindly in English soil, and their rural palaces at Gunnersbury and Mentmore are on a scale of splendor similar to the house in town. They enjoy here a high reputation for liberality in all well authenticated objects of charity, and mix in the highest society. THE NOBLE RED MAN.

This "-Desert Indian" living where a running stream is almost entirely :Unknown, where allis sand and rocky mountains, with almost a total absence of water in the air, so that the solar heat is fearful in its intensity, ranging from 120 to 100' degrees Fahrenheit, and where there are stretches of ono hundred miles without grass or water, must needs be hollow-checked, thin, lithe, and active ; and his necessities render him superior in en ouranee quickness, sagacity and intelligence to all neighboring tribes.

A Shadow of a ("Treat Strategic More. ment•-.llbreatening Consolidation of the !Mortgage Debt—Startling. News for Stockholders—Hurt Planked... The Present Management hntrenching hemftelres. The New York - Bert/1d says : Financial circles have been somewhat stirred recently by a rumor that the Erie man agement intended some granji coup. With a view to determine the importance of such a iumor a herald reporter called at the gilded palace of King Corporation, on Twenty-third street, yesterday, to ascertain what the medi tated mane uvre amounted to. Everybody, however, showed an alacrity of ignorance on the subject, and the main spring, Mr. Gould, went under cover_ on hearing a Herald re porter wanted to review him, and declined giving an audience. The employes, taking their cue from the manager, bluffed off all questions, and seemed to move aboutas myste riously as scouts on a picket line. Failing to' acquire information in that quarter Wall street was next tried with more satisfactory result. Therelt was learned that it was the intention of the Erie management to create a consolidated mortgage on the property of the company. The fallowing is VlntfatTla Feared. The...genius of Fish and Gould has never been more perfectly demonstrated than in the successful way in which they haveeSucceeded in gutting through the Legislature acts to per petuate their control of Erie. The famous Classification. bill, which has almost become a political issue, does not need reference here. Again, at the last Legislature, a bill was in troduced granting them the privilege of avail ing themselves of the • legislation.. of 6ther States into which their franchise extends, the effect of which would have been that even if Mr. Burt had succeeded in procuring the re peal of the Classification bill in this State the present Erie management could have con tinued their tenure of office by classifying under the law of Pennsylvania. Duringthe - same ses.sion a bill was intro duced, 'but not passed, whereby a majority of the mortgage creditors of any railroad in this State could "obtain control of the road by a summary process of foreclosure,to be followed by the organization of a new corporation un der their direction. The Herald financial article called attention to this bill at the time of its introduction, and sueested that it might be intended to subserve the interests of the present Erie management in enabling them to strengthen their hold upon-the road. This notice, however, failed at the time to excite more tllan the ordinary daily comment in fi- nancial circles, the general impression then being that the bonded debt ,of Erie was mostly belnbroutsidem — lnterest - in - tlie - sulfftet has, however, been revived by the publication in a weekly.journal of the following advertise nient Notice is hereby Wren, as required by law, that it is the intention of the .Erie Railway Company to create a consolidated mortgage on the property of the Company. 31.,..531rrit, Assistant Se,cretary. This important .notice has since appeared-in other journals; but the circumstance of its first publication in a weekly paper, and one not particularly addressing itself to the finan cial world, has increased the curiosity felt as to its precise meaning. The - Funded Debt. _ The present funded debt of the road is The Mortgage Debt amounts to . 1 18,:i4i1,500, and probably this only, it is believed, would participate in the general consolidated mortgage. In this event the Buf falo Branch bonds and the English deben tures, with all the debt of the company below the fifiU - mortgage, including stock - , bot•li com mon and preferred, would be in danger of be coming valueless. A Railroad Coup d'Etat. If at any time it suits the convenience of the majority of the mortgagees, which is very likely already the present management, to take forever possession of the' road, all they require to do is to fail to pay the interest on the mortgage when due, and then to foreclose such mortgage. By these proceedings the whole of the stock, common as well as pre (erred and all the other indebtednesB of the company would be thrown out, and so the on tire property would pass into the full lega ownersiup of the holders of such mortgage bonds, who could form a company among themselves. The interpretation put upon the notice given abo'-e in Wall street is that the entire of this debt of over $23,000,000, which is supposed to be now mostly, if not entirely, owned by the present Erie management, is to be funded in one single mortgage, intended to cover the en tire property of the Erie railway. It will thus be seen that this great road, its valuable franchises', immense equipment, re presenting millions, anti with yearly gross earnings amounting to $16,721,000, is placed within the grasp of, any capitalist or clique of capitalists who can get possession of the ma jority of its mortgage debt, only amounting to about eighteen million dollars, in the event of any interruption in the payment of the in terest, which even might be brought about any time by collusion, thus °tiering the strongest 'temptation to conspiracies against the interests of its real proprietors, the stock holders. - A GYPSY TGIC-11i. How They MOsmerlzed a Lady and Pillaged Her Besidence. [ From the Rutland t Vt.) Honda, August 15.] There has been for some days past an en campment of what May be called gypsies, in Rutland, their -- camping , ground having been changed froth time to time if not from day to day. On Saturday last two of them called at - the residence of Mrs. Hubbard, a widow lady, residing on the corner of Wales and West streets, with some baskets, which they offered for sale. Upon Mrs. Hubbard's declining to purchase they entered into conversation with her, and one of them, observing that she bad a small bunch on her forehead, proposed to re move it. Mrs. Hubbard informed her that it originated with au injury she had received some yearsago, and that as it had affected the bone it could not be remedied, where upon one of the gypsies made a pretence of examining the bunch, and commenced passing her hands over Mrs. Hubbard's face. This is the last she remembers of this transac tion at the time. On the next day, Sunday, wishing to use some money, she went to the plabe where she was in the habit of keeping it, but could not find any, and upon further search it was ascertained that a dozen silver spoons and some other articles were missing. Mrs. Hubbard then remembered that she was unconscious at the time these two women left, and that there had been during the rest of the day a strange feeling of dizziness in her head, and her suspicions were at once aroused that she had been magnetized by. these women, and that, taking advantage of her uncoil :scions condition, they . bad taken the money, silver, &e., with them. Procuring a :Main she.:stfirted, the 'direction. of their • enearepteent, - andlakingAtdVice Pr( - ietreclett to procure a' search-warrant 'and an officer. While doing-this she was - probably observed by the women, for, 'on returning to her house to get ready to go with the officer, and while up stairs, the tWo women came into the house, left, a bundle on the table, and simply remark ing that" it was all right;, they had only bor rowed it," or-.something to that effect, went away. Upon' opening the bundle all of the missing articles, as well as the money, with the 'exception of some two or three aollars, 'which - was in silver, were found. It is sup* pOsedthat tbe:woman noticed Mrs. Hubbard • AO..different . plaees, and _thinking that. she suspected them of the theft, and not hay inglad time to properly secrete the articles, took this method.to avoid a prosecuticul,.
