Ile asserts that Bazaine has escaped from the toils in which the Prussians had envelbped him, and is now . in a fair way to out-aeneral the "Prussians. The story is that 'the bulk of the army which was driven back into Metz has been withdrawn 'successfully by way Of 'the river road to Thiouville. From thence, it is said to bare marched in a northwesterly direction to Montmedy, a town upon a tribut ary of the Meuse river, twenty-five miles north of Verdun. Bazaine himself was reported at Montmed . This much . of the corres ond- ents' story is confirmed by a statement in the Paris newspapers to the effect that Bazaine has procured provisions and reinforcements by this very route, trains - having been waiting for him at .Sedan, a town, on the railway west of llontm - edy. If Bazaine really has accom plished this feat he has outflanked the Prus sian army in his front, and, he will probably forrua junction with TilacMalion. He will be, also in direct communication with Paris and Chalons, and his army can be strengthened to an unlimited extent, while he will occupy a good position, having his back to Paris, and his — front to the advancing foe. Assum ing his escape from Metz to be a fact., his future movements may easily be guessed. It is inevitable that he should march down the valley cif the Aine river by way of Le Chene, Vouzieres and St. Menebould, and - forztrhis:7line ---- with - liacMalion!s, in front of C • -,• s, leaving the. Prussians far upon the other of Verdun. . But to reach this posi tion B. h ine would have to move upon two sides !_.. - an irregular triangle; upon the hypothe nuse I I d the perpendicular, from Thionville to . 4 ,•• edy or Mezieres, and then down to St. Iffenehould, while the Prussians, to reach the same point, would have to move only upon the short base of the triangle through Verdun from Metz. Whether they have made this movement already, Or whether Bazaine has accomplished the larger part of his journey before the Prussians comprehended his inten - Lions, we are not informed. Indeed, we may say that while this whole story of Bazaine's strategy is probable, it cannot yet be accepted as worthy of entire .credence. We shall very likely have to wait fOr an engagement to reveal the exact positions of the two armies. It is' difficult to believe that the Prussians would continue to surround Metz in stupid ignorance of the escape of Bazaine,while the road through Verdun to Chalons lay behind them unde fended. Of the army of the Crown Prince we have heard nothing but that it was in the vicinity of Vitry-le-Franeais, southeast of Chalons. Yes terday the indications were that this force in tended to get in the rear of Chalons ; it may be, however, that Bazaine's movement will induce the Crown Prince to come up in front of Cha lons, and give DiacMahon battle while he is waiting for Bazaine's. descent into the valley. Certainly, it 'would be strictly in accordance with the energetic policy of the Prussians to advance their army from Metz and the force of the Crown Prince from Vitry and crush Mac- Mahon before Bazaine arrived. The absence of any report of such movement serves to throw another shadow of doubt over the story of Ba zaine's escape. If the report is confirmed.how ever, Bazaine's change of position may secure victory for the French. lie is near his base of supplies, and he. has behind him France, en thusiastic, ardent and eager to crush the inva der. Everything will depend in such a case upon the proMpt movement of the Prussians towards Chalons,•aud the arrival of their re serves. BORE Y.&LEIILELE NEWS The Associated Press papers, this Morning. furnish a fresh supply of the same admirable news for which we complimented them yester day. One of the most startling items is en tirely fresh and original. Even at this distance /We tremble as we read that "Every railroad leading to the capital (Paris) has been under mined, and the mines charged with pyrate of potassium." This is terrible. Rotten bridges, misplaced switches, wrong signals, and all the other elements of railway accidents are bad enough. But to be traveling in and out of Paris over mines of pyrate of potassium ! It would be bad enough in common times of peace, when railroading is going on in a quiet and orderly manner; when there is neither hurry nor confusion; when sche dules and time-tables are as methodical as clock-work. But in times like these, who can tell what train will go of first? And what would be the effect on Paris of an unexpected explosion of nyratical mines? Gold went up, fifty per cent, in I'arb3, the other day, but that was nothlmcompared would immediately follow such a dratid pleee . of subterranean pyrotechnics. But, as usual, the Associated Press papers some to our aid, just at the critical moment. In the very next sentence to that which reveals the mystery of this Parisian Guy Fawkes, we read, "It is questionable ' whether a popular uprising will take place, though many iutulli gent people expect one.”- If no uprising is to follow all-this pyrate -of-potassium, of-course .he city is safe, and we are comforted with the thought. AJACIIBINDIOP PERCEIJ. ON INIVAL/LI- JfIITY. By the enterprise of the American Press As sociation we were able to give our readers, yOsterday, a full report of Archbishop Purcell's speech, delivered in Cincinnati on Sunday evening, on the subject of the Ocumenical Council and the dogma of Infallibility. The Associated Press had not enterprise enough to lay this important and interesting address before the public. ' -Considerable anxiety has been expressed and felt to hear directly from this distinguished pre late of the Roman Catholic Church the views which le entertains upoiflhe question of tlie new, dogma which he so ably and vigorously combatted in the Council at Rome. Passing by the - introductory portion of the Archbishop's address, in which he referred to the patriotic manner in which the American bishops had maintained the superiority of American education and American liberation of the State from the Church—a service for which these eminent prelates deserve public com mendation—we 'come to his defence of his position upon the difficult and delicate. question of Papal Infallibility: De claring himself to be "one of the most faithful Catholics that ever swore allegiance to Rome," it is interesting to trace the conflict between this instinctive allegiance and the educated common-sense of Archbishop Purcell. lie confesses that the Council of Lyons, which "examined the question of the Pope's. infallibility" six hundred years ago, failed... to, .diseo'ver, ." sUflieient ...kviflence Scripture:or tradition" for this dogma, and had "laid it aside.".. He &dared before the. Car dinals that " it has never been decided at what time, or how, or in what mariner" the Pope became infallible. He asks, as thousands of others are asking, " Is infallibility in accordance with the teachings Of the Holy Scriptures and the teachings of tradition?" He points out - that - " - forty Tones have - taught - what-is-n ow- regarded as erroneous doctrine by some." Some of theses Popes, such as NiCholas 1., he names; and also the erroneousaloctrines which they taught, and having massed together the strong arguments,- which his native vigorous intellect and his free education in a free country presented to his. mind, in an impreg nable bulwark of logic and common-sense, the Archbishop amazes his intellikent hearers and readers by deliberately walking dut side of his own entrenchments and surrender ing his judgment to his allegiance, under the demands of arguments so transparently weak as to make it impossible to believe that a man like Archbishop Purcell was really convinced by them. These arguments are two-fold. In answer to the fact that " forty Popes have taught what is now regarded as erroneous," the Archbishop says that he had an unutterable load removed from his mind by being told that all these erroneous doctrines were not ex cathedra. They were not "addressed to the Universal Church." They were "spoken to individuals," - and therefore -were- not - - binding-at-this time: In Other words the. Archbishop was relieved n of his dilemma by being told that the Pope is only infallible in public, onoffirfial occasions, when he proclaims some doctrine to the Universal Church. At other times, in his more private capacity, in his individual teach ings and opinions about religious truth, he is as fallible as anybody else. And this took a great load from Archbishop Purcell's mind. But the other argument against infallibility was one urged by one of the cardinals: "What if the Pope becOnies a heretic? Is he still id ?" The point is well put, and how is it disposed of? By the very remarkable argu ment that if the Pope becomes a heretic, he is no longer a Pope; and if he is no long& a Pope, of course he is not infallible. As Arch bishop Purcell strongly puts it: "If he denies any dogma of the Church held by every true believer, Le is no more Pope than either you or I." And this argument, says the Arch bishop, "serves to show the fullness with which the subject has been considered, and the ample thought given to every possibility." But the American Catholic, "the best in structed portion of the Catholic world," will ask how the Pope, if he is infallible, can become a heretic. If his solemn dictum upon spiritual truths or dogmas is infallible, it seems to fol low as a logical sequence that whatever he teaches must be orthodox. He, and not the Church, must determine what is heresy and what , is the truth. And just as the Church is now called upon to accept a doctrine at his hands which it never accepted before, and which previous Councils have actually rejected, so it will be bound to accept whatever interpre tation of truth he may choose to impose,even if " every true believer " has hitherto held it as heresy. The address of Archbishop Purcell is valu able, as showing the general line of argument by which this important dogma of infallibility has been engrafted upon the Catholic Church. The distinguished. prelate has undoubtedly stated it - al its 'best, - fair he is defending his own acceptance of a dog man in which he has boldly and ably declared his unbelief. Ete seems to have been borne down by the tremendous pressure of over powering numbers, and by his instinctive re verence and affection toward the Pope. Out side of these two " arguments," there is no thing in the eloquent address of the Archbishop to aid the investigations of those who desire to accept the new teaching of the Catholic Church ; and nothing to convince those who are disposed to rest their religious faith, in ecclesiastical matters/ upon the teachings of the Scriptures, of traditions, of history or of common sense. AMERICAN NEUTRALITY. We publish to-day, in full, the President's Neutrality Proclamation, of which we, gave an 'abstract, yesterday. — lt is a timely document, setting forth the law on the subject, and also declaring the exael understanding existing be tween our Government- and_-those of 'Prance ~'• Wbilethe PreSident thus warns the Ameri can people against all participation in the Europe an war, he reminds them that they are free to exercise" the free and full expression . of sym pathies," and also that they, May 'manufacture and sell within the United States all munitions of war. The President will undoubtedly carry out the duty•of neutrality in good faith, and all good .eitizens will be glad to sustain the Gov ernment in its ' - *ndeayors to iseep itself iron entangling complications with either of the PHILA - DELP:IIIA EVENING BULLETIN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 23,1870. contending parties. American Sympathy is with the Prussian cause; but that will not pre vent the Government from observing the obli gations'of neutrality in their strict letter and spirit. We printed the other day a poem whicli was first published in the Liberal Christian, with the following remark : "A year's subscription to the Liberal Christian will be given to any one who will inform the editor who wrote this fragment of verse, and hew :he may obtain the remainder of the , poem.' It was found on a a torn scrap of newspaper which. was picked up in the woods of Indiana more than twenty years ago." The inducement held out to the author to reveal himself is not of such a teMpt ing•character as to induce him to rush pre cipitately forward with his reply in time for next week's edition, or to' entitle the editor to assume for himself - credit as unusually liberal Christian. And yet even so poor a bait as this will; we are well assured, be - snapped at by so many individuals that, if the editor ful fils his promiSe in every case, he; will have an enormous addition to his gratuitous circulation. There is in this country a class of persons who have a mama for'acquiring notoriety by 'claim ing authorship of poems with the composition Of Which their could not possibly beim. had anything to do. These people do not hesitate to claim as their own verses written by authors Still living s —authors who can defend . their rigfits sucees4nlly. We, are l:quite- sure,: then, that the - entire gang will assault the :editor of the,Liberal .Christian, and. that eaCh,member. of the felonious horde will make a desperate attempt to grasp the prize. - We hope all . of them will get it, and that every succeeding number of the paper will contain an essay upon lying, and a short sermon upon . the text of Ananias and Sapphira. Among-the-first--claimants—probably—will-be - Ball; Ball of New Jersey; Ball who argued through -forty-six. numbers of the -New-York .Tribune that he wrote "Rock Me 'to. Sleep,!' and to prove his assertion, composed -two-hun dred-and-seventy more diluted and ricketty verses upon the same theme, every one of which supplied 'positive evidence - of the ab surdity of Ball's claim to possession of any lyrical skill. If Ball could accomplisli this much, merely to obtain credit for a poem on cradle-rocking, what would Ball not do to make his title clear to apoem of acknowledged sweetness and tenderness? He will write so much rhyme that "Paradise Lost" will be - but as a paragraph to it; he will reel off a whole circulating-library, and empty, it on the head of the editor of the Liberal Christian -until that gentleman will weep, and tear-.his hair, and curse the hour in which he stirred up Ball and set him at hiS doggerel crank. - There will be manuscript from Ball in the waste baskets and the stove, on the floor, the tables and the window-sills, and the postman will have to en gage a dray " for the emergency" 'to bring around -Ball's verses until -Ball- exhauSts:-him self. Miss Peck will be on hand at once. She de clared that she was the author of "Nothing to Wear," and she went into hysterics because it was proved, despite her prolonged and inge nious reasoning, that it was written by Butler. Miss Peck will immediately rally upon the Liberal Christian, arid will exhaust the typo graphical resources of the establishment in an attempt to show that this prosaic Peck is a poetic bushel. She will summon up secluded grandmothers, rural uncles, infatuated aunts and preposterous first cousins, to prove that she s rote this poem in the bloom of her youth —when Peck was a mere Pint, let us say—and read it to a select circle, and was only re s'.,rained by excessive modesty from affixing her name to it when it was published. Mr. Sam'l Blatchford also willbarst upon the editor to torment him. Mr. Blatchford tried very hard to demonstrate to the New - York Post, a week or two ago, that his sister wrote the ele gant poem, " The Call," but he was summarily squelched by an overwhelming mass of evi. dence to the eflect that his fraternal pride had carried him far beyond the boundaries of truth. But here will be a chance for Blatchford to cover his relative with glory without possibility of discovery, and to gain some badly.needed moral instruction from fifty-two numbers of the Liberal Christian beside. The only diffi culty in the way is, that this poem was found twenty years ago, and Blatchford will be forced to-admit an - agaregation - of years in the case of his relative, which will probably provoke a riotous demonstration against his hair unless his family is remarkable for amiability and forbearance. The Liberal Christian will assuredly hear also from Major Sigourney, the rhythmical warrior, who, a short time ago, published an affecting account of his own death, with the statement that the original draft of "Beautiful Snow " was found in the left pantaloons' pocket of his corpse. There are seven hun dred. * and tWeritY-three Other adults and one ,precocious boy, who also claim to have written "Beautiful Snow," and there is a prospect of an animated and prolonged controversy upon the subject in the columns of the Liberal Christian. If the editor does not wish to lose his intelligent subscribers, we advise him not to print the poem, and to decline every specimen of poetical skill included among the arguments of the contestants. Finally we shall have some interesting reve lations from Mr. Shaver of Burlington, who declared recently that he found in a barn a let ter from Edgar A. Poe, acknowledging that Thellaven" was written by a man named Fenwick. This absurd Shaver will grope around among all the barns in Burlington county, and presently emerge with another let-. ter,tending to show that Fenwick—who is noth ing more than a myth; a mere poetical Mrs. Harris wrote this poem, while in a condition of intense cerebral excitement induced by too co pious use of paregoric, a drug to which he was a helpless slave. He will learn that the unfor7. - -tun ate-inebr-i61;7-pluted signature during a paroxysm, and then lost it in the woods of Indiana while he was gather ing huckleberries, or meditating upon an “Ode to Autume - or-- communing with Nattire; poets always have:to do. Nothing is too as tounding for Shaver's inventive genius ; he will make that editor wish the Libcral Chri.stitin was a sensation paper, so that Shaver couldte engaged regularly as a perpetual writer of fiction. . this, and perhaps more, is in store for the who offered the reward for the discovery AN EDITORIAL VICTIM. Of the author of the poem. Ile has sacrificed his peace to the gratification of his curiosity; if he reads all the communications upon this subject he will sacrifice his intellect. We recommend him to resign. No mart can peruse successive letters and arguments from Ball, and Blatch ford, and 4. 9!gourney, and Peck, and brood over the mystery of the inexplicable Fenwick, without dethroning his reason. There is, no alternative but- withdrawal- or pitiable cility. In dealing with the . Volunteer Fire Depart ment the people of Philadelphia must be gen erous, while they are just. The fact that the Department, as such, ought to be utterly abol ished, must not hide the other fact that, so long as it exists, firemen who are killed and wounded in the proper discharge of their duty have a claim upon the generous sympathies of the public. At the ireat sugar-house fire three young men, Members of the Philadelphia Hose Com pany, wore killed by the falling of one of the walls,while carrying out the orders of the Chief Engineer. These young men—John L. Smith, Francis Fritz and Matthias W. Furey—are represented as industrious and respectable men, earning their livings lmnestly, and supporting their families by the fruits of their daily labor. They leave widows, children and aged parents without means of support, and the destitute circumstances of those who have thus suddenly been bereft - of - their natural means of - liven:. hood constitute an appeal to the generosity of he .gciod peuple,,af P . hilP rlsluhjp,:txhich be disregarded.

After an hour or two spent in useless strategy among the pages, he pockets his book, puts away his spectacles and permits the bewildered French men to pass, or else, in a fit of exasperation produced by his futile struggles with syntax. he blows out the wayfarer's brains.

The Wounded Prneslaius. The Prussians have unavailingly asked per mission to remove their wounded to Germany by way of Luxemburg and Belgium.

The con sequences will prove serious. Mediation of England.

Proispeete of a Prolongation of the War. LoNnoN, Aug. 2.3d.—The Paris correspond ent of the London Titne.s,in his communication to that journal this morning, endorses Michel Chevalier's opinion that the war will be pro longed for several months yet. , He Says the French would consider the de struction of Marshal Bazaine's army as an argument to protract the struggle. France cannot be conquered because she loses one or two armies in the field. The Parisians are thoroughly prepared for a siege, and have .abundant-forces and- supplies -to-withstand a lengthy investment. The immense extent of territory is the boundaries of the city render it impossible that the Prussians could invest the city ; besides, it would require a tremen dous force properly to close or suspend com munication. Neither is their° any , doubt entertained of the capability of the people of Paris to keep open communication with the cities to the south if a siege should be attempted. The Govern ment of Prance will be transferred to Tours, in the Department of Indre et Loire, or to the ancient city of D.ourgei, Department of Du Cifer, if a contingency should arise to necessitate the removal of the Civil Govern ment. General Troohu will remain in charge of the government of the city of Paris. Neutrality. LONDON, Aug. 23 .—[Special to the N.

The habitants of all the surrounding localities have abandoned their houses and taken refuge in _Paris. _ - - _ _ - As for the really effective force of troops _to whom our defence is committed, I estimate it upon authentic data in the neighborhood of . 200,000 men, of whom 15,000 are soldiers of the regular army, 5,000 municipal-guards and gendarmes, 10,000 sailors and marines, 70,000 Gardes Mobiles of the reserves and batallions de depot, and about 100,000 National Guards, firemen, &c. With this effective force, and provisions in abundance, we can hold the enemy in check for-some time, - _ The news from the army of the Moselle is always scarce. What lam permitted to send you is in substance this: Bazaine preserves intact his communications with Paris by the western route. The last battle, delivered at Jaumont, had no other `result. Bazaine is also greatly strengthened by the vast fortifica tions of Metz and is still master of the line of retreat by way of Montanedy, Stenay, Vouziers and the valley of the Aisne. He can doubtless by the same route receive reinforcenaents, and I have reason to believe that, part of the force lately assembled at Chalons set out for that destination yesterday morning. At Metz. The enemy's army around Metz has always been superior-in numbers, but, decimated by the late battles, is incapable, for the present at least, of resisting a violent attack. The reinforcements which it has received are com posed of landwehr and of levies from the Southern States, hastily gathered for the inva• sion of our country. The enormous losses which the Prussian army has sustained will hardly be encouraging to these new corners, and there is then a marked advantage in favor of our troops at Chalons, who defend the soil of their country from the invader. Indeed, we are all awaiting a brilliant revenge for Woerth and Forbach. Prussia seems to have provoked a war un worthy . . , of two nations, but by the instinct of self-preservation forced upon the. weaker party, she has inundated our country with her spies, and we have been compelled a measure of safety to expel all suspected Ger mans at the risk of injuring some innocent persons. In Alsace and Lorraine the necessities of the Prussians by the exorbitant depiands of their commissaries have exasperated the un happy people, who, plundered, haiassed and abused, have inaugurated a guerilla war against the invaders. Moreover King Wil iam has launched" a proclamation declaring that every individual not belonging to the French army and taken in open hostility to the Prussian army shall be shot. A rising of the people en masse will bring a day of justice for all these insults and injuries. FROM THE SOUTH. Wm~---~; j-BY-%h~~~rin~Rr: KEN'I'~CKY: Shooting , Clime.
