PEACOCK, FETHERSTON & CO. Wednesday, August 31, 1870. THE WAS. The situation of the contending armies in France has not changed materially since Mon day. The Prussians control the long line from Rheims east to Sompnis, from thence north east to Stenay and 14Iontmedy. This shows that they have made a slight advance upon their right, up from Dun to Stenay, and from Stenay east to Montmedy. Both the latter places were held a day or two ago by the French. Mackahon's line, which stretched from Rethel to Stenay, h fallen back some what upon the left, and it Ow has Rethel at its right, while its left is at, bdan. This latter town is , diiec,.tly uponrailroad and highway leading to Thionville; and the news received this morning badicate,s that Mackahon intends td operate along this road with the purpose of obtaining possession of it, and making his way to Bazaine. We have, reports of a,fight yester day at Carignan, a town upon this railroad fourteen miles east of Sedan. A small portion of MacMahon's army came in contact with a division of Prussians, and, after a severe con test, the Frenchmen were victorious, driving the Prussians back toward Montmedy, sixteen miles distant. It is not unlikely that this success, unimportant in itself, will be quickly followed i y a demonstration in, force by the French, who are evidently bent upon re=aching .13azaine at any sacrifice, and who have no notion, apparently, of falling back to Paris. The Prussians have a strong force between 31ontruedy, Longuion, Stenay and Dun, and they may be able to defeat MacMa hon's efforts without assistance, although Ba zaine is in their rear. The Prussians are in great force near Rheims, and it is evidently the design of 31,ackahon vigorously to attack their right in the vicinity of Montmedy and Dun be fore assistance can be - procured from the left at Rheims ' The combat yesterday - Was pmbably only a skirmish preliminary to a great battle. We have confidence that the .Prussians in the threatened quarter are in sufficient force to hold Mackahon in check, at least until assistance arrives from the army which was pushing on so rapidly to Paris. The advance upon the capital has ceased temporarily, and will pro bably not be renewed until the impending Con flict around Montmedy and Stenay is decided. If the Prussians are beaten there, it may not be renewed at all. EAST TENNESSEE TRADE. Our Philadelphia merchants should be wide awake to the fact that a most inviting market has opened for them in East Tennessee, a section of the country lying directly upon our lines of communication with the southwest. and rapidly developing, from the poverty and devastation of the rebellion, Into a condition of substantial prosperity and wealth: Many Philadelphia merchants have been apt to re and East Tennessee as a somewhat_lar off locality, in which they could have but an accidental and remote interest.. Some of our shrewder business men are growing wiser, as they observe that East Tennessee is both popu lous and\wealthy, and, moreover, lies directly on the great highway which leads from Phila delphia, through Virginia and Tennessee. across the Cotton Belt, and down the (;itli States to the .sea. Tennessee is the great granary of the South. From there the Cotton States obtain their supplies of grain, their produce and their beef cattle. Of the staple of wheat alone, the thirty-one counties of East Tennessee produced this season, five-and-a half million bushels. The farmers, throt4;h out the whole section, are rejoicing in the full fruition of their most ardent and sanguine hopes, while their fields are loaded with their bountiful product of the kindly fruits of the earth. " As a result of the large crops, money is com paratively easy throughout all this section. The people living in this portion of the South have been too poor, since the war closed, to proNide themselves with the many articles of convenience and luxury, of which the war dd prived them, but their day pf adversity . has passed, and to-day they are prosperous. Money is more plentiful in East Tennessee than in the West, and kind fortune seems to smile benignantly upon a people who have '''''''''' under — her frowns The people have the money and the wish to spend it in making their homes more pleasant and their families more comfortable. New York and Boston, on the one hand, and Louisville and Cincinnati on the other, are making strenuous exertions to obtain this trade . • The bulk of the busine.v of thil+ section of the country can he controlled by the bla4ine..TS melt of Philadelphia. Let the merchant take his map and note the continuous lines of air-line railroads stretching between thiS city and Knoxville. Philadelphia *eau freight to that city cheaper than can New York, Boston, Louisville or Cincinnati, and she can certainly sell her goods at least as low as the merchants of those . cities. If our busi ness men will cultivate the acquaintance of the people of East Tennessee; and push their business Connections in that direction, Phila delphia will have no lack of Southern trade. Knoxville is growing fast towards the pro portions of a large city. Block . after block of stores, warehouses and private dwellings are being erected. Manufactures are - steadily progressing. Rolling-mills, foundries and fae, tOries of various kinds rear their tall chimides skYward; and tell of the new era which has clawned on the South, when industry and en . ergy are bringing to that section a huge mea sure of the prosperity which has long blessed our own State. Knoxville is the commercial metropolis not only of East Tennessee, but also of the adjacent portions of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia and Alabama. Beside the railroads - already .. .tompleted to that point, . the Knoxville and Ci ar;eston and the Knoxville and Kentucky BULLETIN roads are being rapidly pushed to completion. The merchants and manufacturers of Philar delphia shourd be keenly alive to the necessity_ of boldly seizing the avenues of trade which - are so rapidly and so invitingly opening for them in this and other directions. The same energies which the other trade centres of the country are putting forth must be exerted from this great manufacturing centre, and with Phil adelphia's peculiartdvantages both of supply and - of communication, it will be the : -fault--of her own business men if she is outbid in the great competition for the trade of the West and South. That 'trade will \ not come and thrust itself upon us, if we do not reach out to invite and grasp it. Boston, New York, Chicago, 'Cincinnati, Baltimore, St. Louis are all spread ing their nets to catch this growing traffic. Philadelphia can, if her merchants' and manu facturers will it, oiler more and better induce ment§ to the merchants of the South and West . than any of her rivals can, but there is no time to be lost about it. THE CENSUS. Some of the papers are anticipating the work of the census-takers and giving statements concerning the growth of various cities that must necessarily he inaccurate. But there have still been sufficient data derived concerning the population of 1810 to indicate approximately its growth since 1800. New, York and Chica go, the two braggart cities of America, have been considerably " taken down" by the partial reports of their respective populations. New York is almost sure to have considerably lesS than a Million of inhabitants, although its papers have been expecting that it would have .considerably-over.a million. Chicago, ,which has been boasting that its people numbered four or five biindred thousand, is said to have really only about three hundred thousand. We have . ma - de no boast of what the census takers will show to be the population of Phila delphia. But the statistics of improvements and new buildings, and the number of voters at the recent elections; lead us to believe that -the population this year exceeds-eight-hundred thousand. 'There can be no doubt that the ratio of increase here has been greater than it has in any other of the' old Eastern cities. This is due in a great degree to the fact that there is more attention paid here to manufac tures than there is in the others, and that the permanent character of the industries thus maintained attracts workirg people, not only from Europe, but also from those cities of Anieriea where the' means of makirig a living are more precarious. Pennsylvania, in general, has the same characteristics as Philadelphia, and without 'venturing upon figities, we pre] dict that the State will show a greater ratio of increase than any of the other old States of the Union. The country has been entertained during the past two sessions of Congress with some very remarkable speeches in the Senate from Sena.- .tor Sprague. These efforts were not remark able so much for brilliant ability as for a cer tain wild, incoherent jumbling of statistics, rabid free labor theories, and absurd dema gogisru. They attracted attention, not only because their character was singular, but be cause they suddenly, burst from a Senator who, hitherto, had been conspicuous for his ina bility to make a speech of any kind. It now turns out that these "eloquent remarks " were written by a certain Professor Graux for Senator Sprague, and that the Senator bad thew printed and committed them to memory. This revelation is made by the printer, whose bills the eloquent Senator has -I . eptitliatediperhaps - for — the — reason — that -- th Harvest of glory reaped from the seed planted by the speeches was unpleasantly small. It seems somewhat unjust to fix the responsibility for this upon the printer; it should be divided - between the Professor who wrote badly, and the Senator who spoke in a worse fashion ; so we hope the printer will recover. It is well understood that Senator Sprague is not the only orator in Congress who has had his elo quence manufactured w order ; it is simply his ;misfortune, or fault rather, that he has been exposed. It is reported that the agent of the Asso ciated Press in Paris was attacked in the street recently by a mob, which beat him and threatened to hang him from a lamp-post. Why this young man was subjected to such outrageous treatment does not appear. Cer tainly it could net be Charged against that, he gave information to the enemy. If any thing could possibly stagger the intellect of Bismarck, bewilder the brain of Von Moltke, and involve the King and the Princes in t hopeless muddle, the war news of the Asso ciated Press would have jnst such an effect.

Herald of, to-day.) • • • TlMlthit'Y.August .30.—A rather active movement in the o;old and stock exchanges, as contrasted with the re markable dullness, amounting almost to stagnation,that had previously prevailed in both markets, was hailed this forenoon as the signal of that long deferred activity which is to restore Wall street to its pristine fame as the locality for rapid money-getting. The hope so en gendered was but snort-lived. The dealers who arrived in town yesterday made their appearance in the street ana Long Boom toAlity, and their numbers, contrasting so strongly with the recent de serted appearance of the precincts of the Stock Ex change, gave a uraisembtance of business which induced a" flyer" here end there, the combined effect of which, on the rule that" many a mickle makes a mucklo," pro duced considerable activity, and prices of e'ocks ad vanced three-quarters to one per cent. After the last board, however, there was a disposition to real ize the improvement, and under sales which were in some instances regarded as speculative, the share list . gave-way almost to the figures. Jt. started .from, established itself firmly, but without other feature than its steadiness, the trans actions late in the day being very few, while the Stock Exchange was comparatively empty. The movement so effected was in a degree sympathetic with gold, or rather in opposition to gold, according to the rule of movement between the two markets, which seems to have been almost undeviating) y followed since the out break of the present European war. The declinedrket opened weak, and the price front to BS on the weakness of rates for foreign exchange which in turn were depressed by the peremptory sale ofi between two and three hundred thousand pounds sterling for the account in large part of the Bank of Montreal, which institution, in turn, is regarded as merely the agent for curtain London houses, who, finding the open money market rates only three to four per cent. at home, have Betided to transfer their loaning resources to this city, where motley on time is now worth from seven to nine per cent. It was, doubt-. less, the knowledge of this drift of capital to this cen tre that helped the early buoyancy at the Stock Ex change, where operatious are limited, for the rea son that a very stringent money market is looked for, as usual, this fall. At tho same time it was reported that the specie shipment would be of little account this week, and HOMO estimated that the export would consist of silver only. From 116 the price ran back, rather un• accountably, toile% ; but settled filially and closed at 1164. While the facts above set forth show that gold is likely to be in little demand for export, considerable weight is attached to the necessity which constantly exists with large imports for the payment of the_ locat, customs as goods are withdrawn from the warehouse. tho receipts of tho sub-Treasury last week on this ac count being three and a half millions.. The sales of bills as above nottced brought the actual rate of prime sterling down to 110?fi' for sight, and for sixty days.
