Marshal Bazalue on the French De-
fences
A Paris journal publishes the following
speech addressed by Marshal Bazatne to about
tun troopers when he went to inspect the can
tonments:
..•411dierzs : I - have but one fault to reproach
you with—you tire too fast. At Weissem
bourg, where your ammunition failed, you
had what would hare lasted the Prussians
three days. Let us reason together a little.
Where are we? Full on our line of defence
From Thionville to Metz, and from Metz to
Nancy, we bold the ground. Behind this line
what bare we? Another line, that of
the Dleuse. Behind the Meuse what have we?
The Champagne, a battle-held that we know,
do we not? After the Champagne what have
we still ? The Argonne. Do you remember
the Argonne? Do you remember Vainly?
The Prussians remember it, and that is all I
need tell you. And after the Argonne, what
do we find? The network of rivers rendered
illustrious by the campaign., cif.lBl4,_ all the
country intersected by the Aisne, the Marne,
the Atibe, the Seine and even the Yonne and
tbe Armencon. Well, this 18 not all, for be
hind Metz, behind the Mouse, behind the
Argonne, behind the Champagne,. behind our
valleys of the Marne there is Paris, and be
hind Paris, France-Fra.inie r that.is to say, font.:

breast, and thouSaild'millions in the treasury.
Sambleu! it seems hardly'necessary to put on •
so many thicknesses of stuff. Let us advance'
gaily, without hurrying ourselves; we hare
plenty of time.
This. harangue was received with enthusi
asm. All tried 'to take the Marshal's hand.
He took that of the Colonel, shook it xigor
olisly, and continued"the inspection.
Advent of the Republic in France.
. The Paris correspondent of the London
Mites writes, Aug. 10:
It is impossible to conceal the fact that amid
all this grief, alarm and uproar the dynasty
that still nominally reigns in Prance is com
monly thought of almost as a thing of the past.
Notwithstanding an shortcomings, andin spite
of recent revelations of designs on Belgium,
the Emperor's downfall would, I think,
awaken the sympathy of many in England. It
is now generally spoken of as all but consum
mated.
A turn in the fortunes of the campaign—two
or three brilliant French victories—might,
some say, yet save him. Hardly that, say many
others. A great defeat, it is generally admit
ted, would be his complete ruin. People talk
of the Rerublie as close at hand. Jules Favre's
motion for an Executive Committee of„tifteen
•members chosen from among
,the Depu
ties would have been, if accepted, tanta
mount to the formation of a Provisional Gov
ernment. It, is rejected, but there is now a pro
ject on foot for the formation of a similar gov
erning and defensive Committee without the . ,
sanction of the Chamber, to be ready to as
-sume power when - the - proper moment should
arrive. In short, as in some recent Govern
ment proclamations which attracted notice.on
that account, the - Emperor is ignored. One
does not hear him spoken ill of, butt he seems
treated as a thing . of the past. His answer to
those whOurged - him to return to Paris is cited
as a proof that he is determined not to survive
disaster:.
The Paris correspondent of the Loudon
Times writes Aug. 11 ;
It seems almost beyond a doubt that the
news of a great battle lost would be the signal
for the Chamber of Deputies 'to declare, the
throne vacant, p , erbaps, by a unanimous vote,
for there is sad defection among many who
passed for/stanch, adherents. Nobody doubts.

A RIM tory Parallel, 1814-1870.
- -
The London Daily Telegraph thus contrasts
the present military situation with those of the
campaign of 1814:
In the campaign of 1814, the headquarters of
Napoleon I. were fixed at . Chalons ; there,
'
acting upon his interior lines, with a verve and
a courage scarcely, we fear, to be expected of
his nephew, he struck his blows, right and
left at fichwartzenberg and Blucher, in the
glorious retreat through Champagne.
It must be borne in mind, however, that in
1814 the French armies were totally exhausted;
Marshals who had commanded corps of 100,000
men found themselves at the head of one-tenth
of their former force ; and the youths who
pressed into the old cadiv; and die& lira,Velyat
Brienne and La Rothiere, -were wry much
what the present levee en masse might furnish,
if it could be carried out in time to stop the
resolute Invader." But in 1814 the enemy
had already turned the French posi
tion. and advanced deep into the coun
try, before he could be checked; the lines of
the Vosges, of the 'Moselle and of the Meuse
had been abandoned without a blow ; 200,000
Prussians Austrians and Russians, converging
from Coblentz on the north and from Geneva
on the south, had made it simply impossible
that the 80,000 men whoa at the utmost Na
poleon could command, should do more than
tight a good retreating battle toward Paris.
Barlbinitirm of-the Turo,4),s.
A. correspondent, writing from Frankfort.
on thel2th inst., says : •
" The German soldiers condemn most of all
the deceitful practices, at Wcerth, of the
Tomos and Algerians, who lie flat upon the
ground, among the dead and wounded, and al
low the German troops to pass over them,
when they jump to their feet and fire upon the
rear °Lam __German ranks. Most brutally
did they behave, however, after the battle was
stilled, for at night they sneaked out
among the dead and dying, and, upon
discovering the least sign of life in the body of
a German soldier, would mutilate it in a
shocking and horrible manner. Their atroci
ties have been so great in past engagements,
that the German officers have issued orders to
+heir troops to show no quarters to these bar
barians. They are a fierce-looking set, and I
have seen many of them passing through here,
-as prisoners of war, selling their °pan - let:4;
heir tassels and accoutrements for a glass of
beer or a cigar, there evidently_being no-pa
triotism in their veins.
GEN. CHANGAENIER.
His Services and Bravery In the African
Campaigns.
The French papers,says the Pall Mall Gazette,
have narrated the meeting ,of . Changarnier
with the Emperor Napoleon; and few can
• p_being-touched-hy—thc description of th
i
.e a o I - years o age tendering his
advice and his sword, when his country is in,
danger, to the man "whom, politically and pri
vately, he must hitherto have viewedewith in
tense dislike.
Changarnier wits one of the officers of the
old Algerian army ; he had seen the French
eagles pushed forward from the seacoast to
the oases of the Sahara; he had served as a
comrade of
_the .Prince of the_lElouseof-Or-
leans, and with Lamoriciere and Cavaignac
had won his fame in the campaign against
Ahd-el-Fader. It is curious and instructive
to look back on the early life of so excellent
an officer, and to notice how the qualities he
displayed when in high - command were'.
equally remarkable when in charge of small
Lodies of troops.
It was in 1835, 3.5 years ago, when Abd-el-
Hader was yet only the chief'of a few Arabs,
that- Changarnier took part in the expedition
against Mascara. The French arms had been
successful; but unprovided with the requisite
supplies, the troops were forced to retreat
over a barren and mountainous country to
Oran. Each soldier had been served out with
rations for the march, holding a small sack of
rice in reserve', Provisions failed, and re
course was had to the reserve supply; but the
troops, young, unused to war,andthoughtless
ot the future, had squandered all their rations,
including the bag ot rice.
One battalion only had preserved theirs in
tact, and this was the Second Leger, com
manded by Capt. Changarnier, who thus
showed that he knew how to command men,
and how to preserve discipline under circum
stances which test to the utmost the military
olualitieS of soldiers. Again, in 1836, when
the French army under Marshal Clauzel had
failed in its attack on Constantine, when,
pressed by the garrison from the city, ha
rassed by the Arab horsemen of the surround
ing,
country, perishing from cell - and hunger,
the remnants of the expeditionary ferco were
retreating toward Bone, Changarnier distin
guished himself.
He commanded the rear guard, which had
been thrown out in 'skirmishing order, and
which was composed of the remnants, 250 men,
of tlia . Second -` The Arab horsemen had
already charged them, and had sabered many,
when Changarmer formed square. The Ma
homedan cavalry, excited by the slaughter of
the Christians, and holding in disdain so small
a body, swooped down on them, loosing for an
easy conquest. •
Changarnier waited until they had ap
proached within twenty-five yards of the face
of the square, -and 'then, calling to his men;
said : ou see those fellows there ; they are
six thousand; we are two hundred and fifty,so
the bides are about equal. Vive le Roi ! Fire!"
The men fired steadily; the front of the faces
of the square was strewed thickly with men
and horses dying or dead. The battalion col
lected its wounded,and, having given so severe
a lesson to the enemy, pursued its retreat un
molested.
After this action Changarnier's name stood
high in the estimation of the Algerian army,
and he rose by successive steps until, in 1848,
he commanded the troops in Algeria. Few
of his old comrades now remain. Cavaignae
died in 1857. Lamonciere In 1885. Montau
ban, Count de Palikao , still serves, although
at present in a civil capacity, while the
Princes of the House of Orleans, whose
names were equally known and re
spected in the old. Algerian army, in
vain solicit at this crisis of their country's
fate permission to draw their swords in her
defence and again to cast in their lot with
their comrades of former wars. Whatever
may be the result of the present awful struggle,
Changarnier's name will be respected through
out the French service, and his caiTer Will be
quoted as an example of the gallantry and
soldierly qualities - of the old Algerian army.
The Women, of
A Paris letter in the New York Post contains
the following:
The women in France are as enthusiastic as
the men, and it is said that in the ranks of the
"francs tireurs" along the frontier are to be
found several of the fair sex who have adopted
as,a uniform a jacket and, knickerbockers),
blabk velvet fastened at the knee,over woolen
stockingsstriped black and scarlet,black ankle
boots,red - fiannel shirts,a black velvet cap with
two crowned plumes, and a cartridge 7 box of
the model worn 'by. the officers of artillery.
There were, numerous examples of women
volunteering' during' the wars of , the first Em
pire, and;the mother of the prestifit.King; o
Prussia gave signal proofs of courage during
the camptligfi whioh terminated,, with , the
battle of Jena, where she was preserit with the
staff of her royal husband.
MONDAY AUGUST 29, 1870.
The residents of the quiet little town of
Flatbush, together with those residing in the
city_ line of Brooklyn, were thrown into a
great state of_ excitement yesterday morning
by the announcement that a brutal murder
bad been committed in their midst. — The
tim was a woman named Bridget Ryan,thirty
years of age, residing in the town of Flatbush,
between Brooklyn and .lindsort avenues About
ten yards from the city line. Sh eand her hus
band, John, it appears had not, for some time
I;ac k, lived on very good terms ;_in fact, for
the last tw - o_ weeks, the neighbors say, they
quarreled and fought incessantly. The imme
'
ea
oust'. John' dis Covered, or thought h ee e n did;
that his wife was too intimate with a man
named Thomas-atcLaughlin, and, in conse
quence, became quite savage ; indeed, into
uch a state had be worked himself that Brid-
get was afraid. She dared not enter the room
with him on Saturday night. She therefore
lay down in the kitchen with her clothes on.
)n getting up yesterday morning she'went out
to- the-stables - I—John - saw her and followed - her
until reaching the stairs of a cellar used for
storage purposes, when he seized her by the
k, dragging her down-stairs and cut her
roat with his razor. That is the story as told
and believed by the detectives at present. -
John's statement, however, differs from the
foregoing materially. He denies having
murdered her, and says she committed suicide.
tie says that, missing her yesterday morning,
lie went out to the stable, and hearing groans
in the cellar went down and found her with
her throat cut. (The razor was found about
twelve feet from the body). Information of
the death was first communicated to the
police by the allegedmurderer. Seeing Officer
Abercrombie on duty near the house he told
lom the story just related, and took him to the
:Tot, when matters were found as here de
scribed. The dead body was sent to the hos
total and the husband was taken into custody.
The detectives are at work on the details of
the case.—N. Y. 7 - mes.

A Mormon Editor and Ills Wife Assaulted
by Brigham Young's Secret Pollee.
Tlie Corinne (Utah) Reporter says:
Information reached us yesterday evening
of a dastardly and most indecent outrage, per
petrated by the secret police of Salt Lake,
upon T. B. H. Stenbouse, formerly editor, of
the DClegroph, and estimable lady From
several different Sources the statement is sub
stantially the seine : That Mr. and Mrs. Sten
b ouse were out walking on Saturday evening,
u hen they were suddenly seized from behind
by four men in disuise, gagged and
bound before ,they-could give an alarm.
They were with - vielent treatment dragged
into an unfrequented lot, and there literally
daubed from head to foot with filth, of the
vilest possible description. After this rough
handling they were mercifully permitted to es
cape with their lives, and made their way
home in a truly loathsome condition. Three
years ago their dead bodies would -have-been
found next day "on the bench."'We ought to bp
thankful that .itrighato's , • , .Dimite - s" have be,
come so. merciful. -But what shall be said of
a people and a Church-Who would counte
nance such an outrage upon a woman? No ;
the-word woman is too mild in speaking of
her—a lady of most exalted virtues,
one against whom the tongue of slander has
never wagged in all the ten thousand scandals
and petty intrigues of that modern Sodom;
one whom scores of visitors to, Salt Lake have
had occasion to praise, and whose hospitable
graces were made known even in Europe by
the pens of Remy and Burton. Could such an
action have been perpetrated by any but
Mormons? The meanest man that ever
struck' the Union Pacific Railroad would
never have so abuSed'a woman. It was
reserved for Salt Lake, iu this as in scores
of other cases, to outrage nature even in
her vices, and make the demon of mere

General Notes.
—Before the battle of Wissembourg some
of the German troops had only a three hours'
rest after a seven hours' march before going
into action. Before the battle of Woerth r
when the alarm came at midnight, they had to
march until 11 A. M. At this time, without
pause, they joined the_ fight. No friendly
conveyance eased them of a single ounce
weight of the load they had to bear.

experienced by the wounded, the want of

French and Prussians, Bavarians and Ba

A DIOR ON OUTRAGE
ROBBERY ON THE PACIFIC RAIL.
ROAD.
A United States Express Itletisienger
Knocked Senseless in ins cor—tezo,ooo
to 930.0001 Stolen.
The St. 1401118 Democrat says :
_ News was yesterday received at the 'United
States Express office that a daring robbery had
been perpetrated in the express car on the Pa
cific nailroad.
The train left Atchison, Kansas, Thursday
afternoon, and proceeded on its way to this
city without any unusual incident until it
reached the water-tank, near Scott station,
about four miles of Jefferson City.
There the express car was entered by two
men who fell upon the messenger, Mr. J. B.
Cleveland, and, with, iron knuckles or some
other heavy and blunt weapon, knocked him
- senseless. - While he was in this condition tney
struck him several heavy blow.s, breaking the
bridge of his nose and cutting his head and
face in several plac's. They then bound and
gagged him and tied him to a large iron cheat
_with.- ropes which, -they found in the car. -
Taliing, the keys of the safe from their uncon
scious victim, they proceed to rifle the .money
drawers and secured, with the exception of a
package: containing about ,tive thousand
dollars, all the.money in the safe. Upon arriv
ing at Jefferson City the speed of the train was
slackened, and here, it is supposed, the ruff
ians jumped off and left the car.
Mr. Cleveland was immediately afterward
discovered and liberated - by some of the
employes of the train. As he was horribly_
beaten, and the extent of his injuries was un
known, it was decided best to leave him. at
Jefferson City, where he could receive the at
lention of a physician, and the train accord
ingly prece e witliout rrom a tel.egram
since received, it is 'ascertained that his in
juries were not of a - fatal nature, and that he.
has expressed ap 'Mention of coming bere on
the first train. It is therefore probable that he
arrived at a quarter to one o'clock this morn-,
ing.
Of the robbers no accurate description could
be given, by the messenger, as he VMS so
quickly knocked down that he scarcely had
- time - to - glance - at them. - One - of them, it is
said, wore light pantaloons and a dark coat.
cloth had their faces - concealed by calico
masks, one of which was left in the car.
The amount missing was at first reported to
be about ten thousand dollars, but it is now
thought that it is fully twice or possibly thrice
that amount. The train was what is called
the " moneyed train," as it carried the greater
portion of the packages repeived during the
previous twenty-four-hours.
How the men succeeded in entering the car
- we are not informed, but it might easily have
been - accomplished - th a variety of Ways. The
-doors-were secured---wi th--t he -ordinaryicar
locks, and a . key fitting them could without
trouble have been procured- by the ruffians.
It is probable, however, that an entrance was
'not effected in this way, but that the scoundrol
knocked on the door;
_and, when Mr. Cleve
land opened it; immediately knocked him
down. The slight clue left by the desperadoes
is being traced up 4v - detectives, but the
Nit

office yesterday, and large clots of blood were
still to be seen upon its'sides.
THE COLORED C4D EC AC WEST
He is Growling Einlien...Objects to Doing'
Dirty Work—Breaks a Dipper Over a
Comrade's Head.
William Smith, the negro cadet at West
Point, is getting into hot water. He is nat
urally sensitive, jealous and resentful, and hizi
environment in the Military Academy is such
as to kill everything in him that would tend
heavenward, and to foster all those elements
which lead to hell. This is not his fault, nor
the fault of his comrades, except to a limited
extent; it is fundamentally the fault of the
situation, and of human nature itself.
Smith Takes Things Hard.
The cadets have to do many things which of
fend their pride and try their manhood to the
utmost. For example, while in camp, as they
now are, they in turn have to do what is
called police duty, one function of which is to
go over the ground with a wheelbarrow and
gather up the bits of orange-peel, peach
stones, quids of tobacco, cigar -stumps, and
other unsightly things which have accumu
lated during the previous day and evening.
Every West Point cadet,froin President Gram
and General Sherman down to William
Smith, has had to perform this disagreeable
duty, and all of them except William Smith
have done it without rebellious or mu
tinous mutterings and grumbling& But the
colored boy takes it exceedingly hard. He in
fact takes everything hard, as we predicted he
would when he first entered the Military Aca
demy. Nor is it unnatural that he should take
things harder than the white boys do. It is ,in
the nature of the case for him to thinkthat.
disagreeable Matters which are put upon him,
are put upon him simply because he is a
colored boy, and for the purpose of annoying
and degrading him. Consequently he is sullen,
inclined to be disobedient, and quick to
quarrel. The latter tendency has at last got
him into serious difficulty.
How the Fracas Occurred.
The other day while he was on guard duty,
he went to the tank for water for the guard,
and there found other cadets ahead of him. It
is customary for each cadet to take his turn at
thejank, and. when many meet there at the
same time a line is formed for that purpose.
When Smith came up, he attempted to push
away a cadet who was ahead of him, at the
same timb.exclaimitig, . . ,
' " want water for the guard."
" Take your turn," said the cadet thus ad
dressed, a little fellow named Wilson, not near
BO large as Smith.
The colored boy again attempted to crowd
Wilson out of his turn, whereupon Wilson
struck at him. Smith thou truck Wilson on
the head with his dipper, so bard as to break
the cup portion from the handle. Then, with
the handle, he struck him again, cuttlng
gash over his eye. Wilson was removed to
the hospital and his wound dressed, and then
he was placed under arrest. Smith was also
placed under arrest, and a court of inquiry is
to investigate the matter. This account of the
fracas we gathered from the cadets. We were
not allowed to see Smith, although we made
specida application to do so to General Upton,
the °dicer in charge, who has succeeded Col.
Black.—N. Y. Sun.

—The long drought of this summer recalls

T. H. Perkins and Chandler Starr, Esq.; with,'
Mrs. Starr, made up the party. The dry
weather of that season called from Mr. Morse
the following anecdote: A Cape Cod clergy
man one Sabbath had prayed most earnestly
for rain. He entreated the Lord to ‘,' uncork
the bottles of heaven and send downrthe re
freshing showers." The drought had lasted
through .August and a part of September;
Tuesday morning the line storm began, and
continued with great violence till Friday,ilood
ing the country and sweeping off bridges in all
directions. Saturday night it set in to rain
again, and Sabbath morning it was still . pour
log down. .This - time — the - prayer Was as fol.
Jews " lThord, we recently took occasion to
entreat Thee to uncork the bottles of heaven
and send down the refreshing, showers * but
we did not mean that the corks Should be tlOown
eunry." Mr. Starr followed with a story of
" Parson Howe," of Milton, Conn. On a simi
lar occasion, if not during the same drought,
he.petitioned for relief in these words: "0
Lord, we want rain very much. The rye is suf
fering prodigiously. Of corn, we shall not have
half a crop. As for the potatoes, it is all up
with them; and there's that grass of Deacon
Comstock's . , it is as red as a fox's tail."—Con
