LEEDS-, THE WAR IN EVROPE MOW THE GERMAN SOLDIERS ARE CARED FOR. Extracts from a Private Letter. We are permitted, says the Tribune, to make the following interesting extracts from a pri vate letter, written by a German lady of. Frankfort o a friend in this city : We are striving to .alleviate the suffering of the wounded. German and French soldiers, as well as the distress which exists in tb"ir un fortunate families. To this end, evi ry one does as much as possible. We b.cvc, es tablished hospitals with six hundred beds in every available place, and we are spending money in weekly centributions and. by societies. - You - May, for instance, imagine how much people are doing here in the way of charity if 3 tell you that the great building, firentanoshaus; in the Neue Mainterstrope, has been hired by a society of ladies which has been _established, and - -a kind of factory, : fernaakimi, lint, bandages,arranging linen: "&c., started. In the saloons there are occu pied nearly all the young ladies of Frankfort. fn the first rOettis are the bureaus :111eia fellow the . rooms tor the.reception of the linen, for selecting, cutting, serving, making lint, for receiving the ready-made linen, stamping, binding,, delivery, &c. Hundreds of women are always there at weir; so that It is very difficult to find. a chair when one goes to assist. There is another society, composed of men and boys, members of which are always -at the railway stations to give a relish of meat, wine, beer. and in the night, coffee, to the soldiers 1. passingthrougitoor town-to the-front:. , They consume every day 1,000 pounds' of sausage,. -and tbo bottles Of beer.' loirfniay - readily irn agine bow grateful these poor soldiers are to receive these refreshments this hot weather ‘about 90 degrees Fahrenheit). I cannot tell you of-all that is being done; hut, among other things, the six lodges of Freemasons have fortursi a union, which, be ide the individual and private endeavors, work for the aid of all. They help each of the existing societies, and in silence also render succor to distressed families. We are hoping that they will receive ant from all parts of the world ; and, if you could make some little col lections from, cur friends in America and for ward - them - to 111 , however small they may be. • I o you, an( you may Uernre that a proper tp-.4.t will be_rnado of 1 ett , r from .Tke,f-1 to an Eug,lisli journa More abundant preparations are made for the treatment of wounded than think-,au j. truiFt. , are ever - like :1r to 'Tie neederind Some American ladies wl/0 took part in that Mar i etous volunteer organization which in the .eceSsion War saved so many thou Sand • Northern lives, have miered their aid to our Contederation for a similar purpose.

On the-'2lttli :14* M arch, I Rachel appea-ed in Lc.t 11 ,, f00 , '. The perforniance had gone on very well, awl " Camille" had launched her curses against Rome. with the usual ap plause. The curtain had fallen, when a voice called for the " Marseillaise." - It Was soon follower] by another and another, [troll the . whole house swelled. IL one cry, "La Marseillaise" A te , .v minutes of this burst and the curtain went up, and " Camille" came forward with out her Roman peplum, simple and grand in her white tunic. She name forward to the footlights with slow anti majestic step. Never have we seen anything more terrible, more thrilling, than that entry. The whole. house shuddered with terror before the actress had uttered a sine one of those words of power. That mark livid pallor that deep, dark glance of suffering and of rebellion blazing in its bloodshot orbit those eyebrows twisted in serpent wreaths those lips depressed, holding in their superb curve a hurricane of prayers, and ready to sound the trumpet of malediction: those pas sionate nostrils intlated as if with the breath of a new atmosphere after issuing front the fetid dens of Bastiles—all produced a crashing effect; it was a terrific grace, a sinister beauty, inspiring alarm with admiration. When the actress, poised like a statue, drew her elf up to her full height, and then with aindulating movement, showing_ the contour of her person beneath the long folds of her train, and, raising her arm with tran quil force, laid bare her shoulder by the fall of her sleeve, it seemed as though Nemesis, the tardy goddess,..brid suddenly stepped to life from -a block of Greek marble sculptured by an invisible hand. Then, with voice,irri tating, strident, and monotonous as an alarm tqdl, she began: Alluns: Enfans de la Pattie : Not song, not recitative: a species of antique declatuation,wherein the_yerseruarches afoot, now flies aloft, a strange mystic music escap ing rho composer'S notation. resembling, not r'-producing, the song of Rouget de (isle. masculine as is the hymn, with such great ninsieal farce ; Ract4,l had the secret of making it. still more energetic, more tierce, more for- Midable by the incisive bitterness, the re vengeful murmurs and the metallic click of ber diction. She had attitude. gestures .and carriage wontlerftillv expressive, in accord'. with the sense of each stanza. ...As she proudly uplifts her need:. tree at last from the yoke, and shakes off the foot of the oppressor that had so long held her down to the dust, what a piled up magazine of hate! what all un dying thirst of vengeance, are betrayed in ose clenched hands, in the nerves trembAng with the cold insensibility of resolution im placable: And with what tender effusion, melting into tears at the sacred idea of the ountry, she knelt down, as it were, lost in the voluminous folds of the symbolic tricolor. At this sublime posture the 'tense re-echoed with transports of enthusiasm. Bravos, clapping of hands, and stamping came up in one con tinuous thunder roll. This was how Rachel interpreted the hymn of the nation. Rachel, like Malibran, was de voured by the tire of her own genius ; the vic tim was consumed whole on the altar. Events have conic and gone ; and uow the house of M oliere vibrates again with that glorious ap peal. This timeit is still the tragic muse that gives us the lines of "Tyrtatus." lines which, as Carnot said, were- worth a hundred thousand fighting men. The sculpture-like beauty of Mile. Agar,.her marble pallor, her tresses-black as the - raven's wing; - her deep sympathetic voice—now thrilling with tender ness, now clear and echoing like a trumpet call—make, this one of the noblest impersona tions ' of the mighty • patriotic. war ode. Tf RaChel had the . air , of Nemesis the avenger, Agar rethindS US of Vic tory outspreading her wings_, of gold.. she does not sing . ; she is not a singer; but she throwS melody tutor, her recitation, and the effect is very grand. It }vas certainly, a daring enterprise to ileelaini 'those sublime .strophes on the very boards whereon Rachel had cried . Mound witty se fearful an eniphaSis ; but bravery has been - sticcessful, and the intelli gent actress Caried her 'expression. Her style was heroic impulse and assurance, of triumph. Germuni Aggravdazemmit. • The.Lo rktn - Satuft/gij - Repietit does not fear the aggrandizement of. Germany. It must be remembered that none of • the' projects of Count Bismarck with regard to foreign na tions have over rattainod anything like deli. I miteness, nor have they ever - received the sanction of the King. The difference be tween France and Germany in this respect is very striking. Even the most temperate and modest Frenchmen are imbued with the ideas Of territorial aggrandizement and foreign conquest. They are actuated unconsciously by memories of the old Napoleon days, and speak as if they bad been robbed of all the ter ritory which Napoleon won and failed to keep. :such a spirit is unknown In Germany. The Germans want all Germany to be united, but they want nothing more. A war of speliation would be totally abhorrent to German feeling. The Germans may, of course, become intoxi cated with success, butithere is no symptom whateVer at present that this will be the case, and they deserve fully that their past history and their national character should at least do this much for thein,that neutral nations should look on their successes without jealousy or alarm.

THE POPE IN A OrANDARY. Antonelli and hiaPoleon—Terror at the Absence of the French... Ante Pope and Primal°. A Borne correspondent, writing under date of the sth inst., says ,Before leaving Rome, General. Dumont told Cardinal Antonelli that tbe Emperor bad ex acted from the Italian Government guarantees for the protection of the Pope, when Cardinal Antonelli replied: "There are three persons who don't believe . in these guarantees : the Emperor, {yourself and I." Eight Italian iron (dads, under the command of Rear-Admiral the - Marquis del Uarotto, are ordered to cruise before Civiti Vecchia as soon as the French have embarked. The Pontifical Government is anxiously looking also for the arrival, of the English fleet at that port. On the evening of the:3oth the Pope summoned . an _extraordinary Council•of Cardinals to consider the pesition of the Holy See. No less than a hundred members of the Sacred College responded to the call ; and the Pope - -himself presided over their deliberations. Cardinals Antonelli, Di' Pietro, and Sacconi, no doubt with the sanc tion of the Pope, recommended- an under standing with Italy as a measure of necessity ; but this course was vehemently opposed by Cardinals Patrizi and Mertel. The authorities are paralyzed with terror, and they are doing their best to terrorize the population. The Urban Guard is called out—the same force which, during the October panic, fired at the windows of peaceable shopkeepers—and the areleenstantly making domießiaryvisits.- It is said thata mine is laid under the Vatican, and that Rome is full 'of strange faces; but, though I am in the streets at all hours, 1 meet only the ordinary population ; and, as to the Vatican, the, mine, if it exists, has not been discovered. Nevertheless, the' calmness of the people seems to indicate a consciousness of strength, and it may be that it is this which alarms the Government. The Pope Is -Very angry 'with the Fremdi. and it is affirmed that- he charged Baron d'Aruim, on his departure for Berlin,. to request permission from the King of Prussia for the Pontifical German dragoons to bear the Prussian flag as a menace, to Italy. A day or two ago the populace at - Palestrina 'elated-tile firrlie trundle of the , town, and seditious cries .were uttered at CiVita Vecchia.

The Wilmington Coinmercial of yesterday says: The Democrats will gather at Dover, to morrow for the purpose of nominating _Kr., James Ponder, of Sus Sex county, as a candi - date for Govertior.-Air Bonder is the brOtlie in-law of the pre -sent Governor ' Dr. Saulsbury, also -of United States Senator Willard Sattls bury, and of that powefful wire-puller, Mr. Eli. Saulsbury. He is, therearre, very near to being a Saulsbury,_himself,and will fully serve tlt purposes of the members of that family. He has been, on that account, selected for the (;overnorslip by them,and is to be nothinated, as already stated,' by tho colleetion of indi viduals, who will repair to Dover, to-morrow, for the purptise. The spectacle thus presented, in which the ten thousand Democrats ot Delaware are made to willingly obey the instructions issued by the Saulsbury Brothers is edifying. Already, I. r years that family have ruled the State, and ruled it with a code as severe as the famous system of Draco. Aspirants to places of profit or honor, throughout the three coup iks. have been set forward or are, thrown back, as best suited the Brethren of, the Ring. Men who opposed them havei found themselves the objects of suspicion, neglect, and attack. Gentlemen whose years of labor in the Democratic party, devotion to interests, and personal qualities, entitled them to respect and reward, have- been sum marily thrust into obscurity, and kept there by the forcible and cunning measures which this Saulsbury Ring has adopted. it would he easy to name dozens of these, but it is not neces sary. Especially in Kent and Sussex, the truth of what we say will be admitted in a hundred localities. It is curious, therefore, in view of this,to see the Democratic ;"delegates duly attending the convention, to-morrow, for the express pur pose of perpetuating this iron rule, and taking upon their already-galled and worn shoulders the 0141 yoke, with a new rider. It illustrates the extent to which the SauLsburys control the organization, and it proves that only by their defeat can any freedom or independence come to the Democratic masses of Delaware. • THE CROPS IN DELAWARE. Reports front_ 'Lower Delaware and the Eastern Shore. The Milford Jiutuut P'rieil, of Saturday, uy,: The delightful rain that fell on Saturday night last, has revived the looks of all growing ,irups. Corn looks refreshed, grass fields and vegetation of all kinds seem to takenew life, and now look vigorous and healthy. Our farmers are now busy plowing their ,around :ilia preparing to sow their wheat; as the most of them have got to believe that early sowing does the best. The Pore/ulster (Amity News, published .at DorcheSter 'County, urd., gives :he following concerning farming in that portion of the Peninsula: The sea son has advanced far enough for us to predict with safety the result of the growing crops not yet gathered, whilst those that have been harvested have already been reported short. The recent decline in prices of cereals will tend very much to discourage those that have not yet sent theirs to market. The peach ere!), though short, has brought splendid prices up to the last ten days, and it is the general impression that the prices of this fruit will 11,:a111 improve. The corn crop will be at least a third short. Oats were very tine, and the yield large. Potatoes promise an abiutdant, (T oo. All varieties of sweet and Irish are 'oohing well.

THE CODE AMONG" THE CHITA.LEY." Fatal Duel Near Savannah... Two Fools Fighting'. On Friday last a fatal duel occurred near Savannah, Ga., between two gentlemen of Savannah, Mr. Ludlow Cohen and Mr. R.- Aiken, in which the former received a mor tal wound, causing his death in a few hours. The duel is reported to have had its origin in a quarrel concerning matters pertaining to the recent regatta in Savannah. Both the partici pants in the affair were well-known young merchants of Savannah. The Morning News of that city says : We are unable to state the causes leading to this resort to the "code," except from uni versal report,which bases the difficulty upon a private quarrel between the two gentlemen named, which could not, itseems, be adjusted without a resort to the field. The gage of battle was thrown down by Mr. Aiken and readily accepted by Mr. Cohen. Between six and seven o'clock, .Thursday_ evening, the parties, - atc,onipanied by their respective seconds; a few friends and two.sur geons, proceeded to. Dr. Reed's plantation, five miles from ;the city,. on the Augusta road; and at six o'clock yesterday morning they repaired to the field selected for the fight. The ground was staked off, the distance, twelve paces, measured, and . the principals and seconds took their respective places, the latter loading and placing into the hands of their principals the weapons, regular old style dueling pistols, smooth bore, the calibre being a three-fourth__ounce ball.. Four shots were fired, after each of which propositions were made and questions asked as to whether tht Parti.es.svere satisfied, to which the answer - Was given, " No.!" - • At thefifth shot--Mr. Cohen fired immedi-• ately at the word, his antarfonist pulling the trigger immediately after, and as the event proved, fatally ending the quarrel; his antago nist received a wound in the right side, which passed through the abdomen , cutting the in testines. Mr. Cohen gradually dropped his pis tol arm to his side and sank upon the ground. Drs. Charltol and Duncan immediately went to his assistance, found that the wound-was dangerous, and placing him in a carriage, brought him to his residence in the city, where other medical aid was suromoned,liut which proved unavailing; he breathed his last at a quarter to three o clock, P. m... ..

What a Tlighilis Lady Says fH. , From a recent letter to the Chicago Tribune we clip the following eloquent tribute to Admi ral Farragut : Apropos of charming men, long before this letter reaches you, moo Tribune, you will have published an obituary of Admiral Farragut, _glowing with the recital of his valorous deeds. You will have called him the Nelson of onr navy, and told again the story of the council held on board the Hartford,when the brave officer, standing alone against the sentiment of the council, said. "Gentlemen, you will return to your ships ttnei 'obey.orders, I am ordered to New i irleatuf, and I shall go there." But in finitely more precious to those who knew and loved him is the recollection of his tender ness and devotion to an invalid wife---a devo tion that never flagged through seventeen years of patient watching. Six months after Captain Farragut's marriage to the beautiful Miss Merchant, of Norfolk, disease of the spine developed itself in her, depriving her of the use of her lower limbs and impairing her general health. His unwearied and increas ing attachment to the lovely sufferer was the admiration of 'the wo men of Norfolk; and the devotion of all marriageable ladies to him was such that it is said one could scarcely enter the room of a oung girl and not find a picture of Capt. Far ragut hanging at the foot of her bed ; while navy buttons, or, indeetl, any little thing that had belonged to him, were cherished as reli giously as a Roman Catholic cherishes a relic of St. Peter. A lifelong friend and brother officer of the admiral tells me that so unwilling was he to be absent from his wife, even for re creation, that he had arocuil next to hers fitted up as a carpenter shop, that he might indulge in his favorite amusement without absenting himself from her sick bed. Alas for the fickleness of public opinion! After the break ing out of the war this whilom idol was un der a ban, and was finally driven out of Nor folk for the crime of loyalty to his Govern ment and flag. His charities, too, were only hounded by his ability to relieve suffering and distress. Upon leaving Norfolk he settled his entire fortune, consisting of property in, that city, and in momentary danger of' being con fiscated, upon Miss Camilla IJoyall, a sister of the present Mrs. Farragut. His was the quiet, unostentatious henevolentie known only to those it was intended to benefit. He did good for th esake of good; and for all such, verily there is laid up a great reward.

The Detroit Free ?rev: has the following: "Six months ago Silas Wright, about 2 years old, of Greenfield township, left home. with a companion named Warner, of Texas. The two entered a piece of wood in Cook county, built a cabin and commenced im proving their purchase. Mr. Wright received, a letter from his son on the sth of July, which. spoke - encourag ingly of his prospects, but news reached him by letter from Warner, on Monday last,, that young Wright ha:Mama victim to the Indians. The letter gives the full details of the affair, whichare truly revolting. It seems the two men had constructed their cabin .witti. the view of an Indian attack - at some period. On the afternoon of July 15y the two men, who were. constrinting, a- pole fence around a`piece of corn were warned by a flying neighbor that the Indians were in the vicinity, and had murdered a herdsman about th,e miles up`the road. The two pro ceededfollittir eabia, but as no farther alarm was given, took their rifles after a time and returned to their labors. There was ar growth of hushes not far from their place of work, and at about 4in the afternoon, without any warning, half a dozen rifle-shots were fired at the laborers by a detachment of Indians who had been guided to their victims by the sound of the axe. Wright fell dead at the volley, and Warner was shot through the left arm, near the shoulder. He seized - the dead man'a rifle, _and started on a run for the cabin, the 'odious, numbering six or seven, following in full chase ' and yelling loudly: The cabin- was about twenty-five rods - away, and • Worrier gained it but a moment ahead of the Indians, one of whom he shot through a hole in the door as the fiend was trying to burst it in. After the savages retired for a time, and were shortly reinforced by the whole band, who several times tried to set tire to the place. The logs being green, the fire would die ont without creating any damage. They kept - m). a fierce shooting all time time, wasting a good deal of lead, but their bullets could not pene trate through the logs.
