Dlslarbnnces In (be French Provinces. irFrpm tbe Journnl dcsDebats, August IC.) We road in the Phare, de la Loire: On the nipht of the 11th to the 12th of August a great crowd of citizens marched through the streets of Nantes singing the “Marseillaise,” with this variation in the chorus: Marchons! Marebons! La Bepubiique en France reguera. (march on! march on! the republic will reign in France.) The windows of the Union llrc tonne were smashed with stones, because that journal bad advocated a state of siege throughout France, and denounced those who are called “ domestic Prussians,” or “Prus sians In France.” - The Gironde publishes a proclamation ad dressed to the people of Bordeaux by the Pre fect of the Gironde, which begins: “Order bas been seriously disturbed in our city. The tumultuous scenes which have too long interfered with the public tranquillity in the neighborhood of tins Prefecture and tho theatre have been followed by criminal, odious and aggressive acts against an establishment of public instruction. «To disturb order is to tx-tray tbe country. ’” In the Uiiienne of the loth, of August we read: A patrol was Btoned last night, and two National Guards were slightly wounded. For tunately, this isolated act was not repeated. This morning tbe following placard was posted on the wall of the Grand theatre. It was, of course, immediately tom down: Decree or the lath August. The people condemn to death all the police ; and municipai guards of the city. The execution wiII soon take place, '‘ V ;11 Monday evening, at Creusot, a baml of from twelve hundred to fifteen hundred men, the half of whom, at least, were not under eigh icen years of age, set out from the Jneighbor hood of the railway station, about - half-past seven, marching through the whole town, and shouting for peace, Rochefort and tho Repub lic. They cut down several trees, and about ten o’clock marched on Monteenis; they car ried a couple of red flags and some trees they had cut down, which were sixteen or twenty feet high. At Monteenis they tried to seize the flag of the police, but were unsuccessful. They returned to Creusot about midnight with two police notice-hoards, which they had cap tured. In the Halul Public of Lyons we read that four sergeants and soldiers had been wounded by stone-thro wing in the disturbance of. yes t erday morning, and thirteen persons arrested, among whom were two women. The eldest was' forty-eight, the youngest fifteen. The average age was between twenty and thirty. Many women were-in the-riotj-leaping-like iuries at the faces of the.polico, flinging hand nils of dust in their eyes, and so on/ A Thirsty Vtvnndlere. The way from Saarbruck to Forbach was made on foot through the pouring rain and in the midst of the military train. I had for tunately provided myself with some brandy and cigars, and with these aoceptaßles rmah aped to bribe a thirsty vivandiere to allow me to sit by her side. Some of mv readers will perhaji.s smile at this, and think it improba ble thal a vivandiere caii he thirsty. I beg to ■assure .them-that,- for the matter of that,• it would have better for her not to have filled that post, for every drop and part of a drop that was " transporta ble had vanished. Nor was she fiiir and en gaging as these creatures are generally sup poHed fo be. -She was quite as old as her cart, and that, Tam sure, had passed the half cen tury. Unhappily, it wa3 by no means as. tough. as she, for when, after a block in the road, she put her horse in a trot, the playful animal threw up his heels, separated by'that simple act the two front wheels, and walked off quietly, leaving us in a slanting and exceed i nglv ridiculous position. I immediately took up my properties with dignified silence and left her to the laughter which her position oc casioned. Tbe Prnsslnn Pioneers. From the London Army and Davy Gazette, Ai:g. 20.] The French attribute their want of success to thespleDdid manner in which the Prussians reconnoitre with their Uhlans, and the com pleteness of their system, which keeps them perfectly acquainted with every stir made by their antagonists. On the subject of the Prussian r'luircurs the Paris Monitotr gives the following interesting account of the manner in which thev go to work. The writer begins by saying" The qualities inherent in French nature are impetuosity, dash and courage, but these characteristics, which Europe does not hesi tate to proclaim, often carry in their wake a certain inattention. Tbe qualities, on the other hand, peculiar to the German character are reflection, prudence and method/ These sometimes produce slowness of attack, hut i hey leave nothing tQ chance. From this aggregate, of ,qualifies, and defects it results that the Prussian armv is well informed and the French are scarcely so at all. "Was anv ibing known of the enormous forces which Prince Frederick Charles and the Crown I’rince had accumulated on the Saar, and who bore down the two corps of Gen. Frossard and Marshal MacMalion? The Prussians under stand and practice using scouts in a campaign. The genera] who is confronted by a corps, which lie is to watch and to light, chooses a clever and determined officer. A small troop is confided to him, and from fifteen to twenty horsemen, TJhlans and hussars. The officer, iu his turn, takes into battle some soldiers ot the landwelir, horn upon the very frontier of ,ih« country which ,he,,is_ to. reconnoitre, and... which his business, his relations “and his habits allured him to visit in every sense. This man, who has a mission of confidence and honor, advances to the front, musket in hand, eye watchful, and ear attentive. He has been told what point is to be reached, which spot is marked in pencil on an excellent map which the officer carries about -him. The place which is to be reconnoitered is often twenty to thirty kilometres distant from the Prussian lines, in the very centre of the enemy’s territory. Behind the first horse man, who has prders to advance very slowly, following hollows, dells and sometimes the highway, sometimes also pushing forward across the fields, two other riders coihe at 200 paces off. Further away, at the same distance from them, comes the officer, followed by eight or ten horsemen, charged to protect him if necessary. Two other riders are further away, whom a last soldier is fol lowing at 200 paces. This column, moving on silently, occupies the space of a kilometre. If tlie r liorseman who leads is surprised a shot gives alarm to the rest of the band, and the riders ahead and behind have orders to depart at full gallop and to follow any direction that is safest. . The oft! oer alone and his escort go on ahead to recoin-.itre with whom they have to do, and to see what is passing, after which all leave at full speed. Even in case of am bush it is almost impossible that two or,three riders should not he able to return safely to: headquarters: and the Prussians then know at once what force they have before them and on what point it is posted. Valor of an English Tourist. SI The correspondent of the Standard, writing fronrMetz, gives the following description of the valorous conduct of an Englishman: At. Forbach, in the hottest of the action, an English tourist (I wish I could ascertain his name) happoping to be there, fought on the French side. When Frossard’s division re treated that gentleman fought like a Hon. British proverbial courage and energy was there shown as a glorious example even among brave, columns of Frossard's divisions, retreating with regret before an overwhelming number, and when their fTeres d’armes were nearly exterminated, not ouly the English gentleman fought gallantly, but he saved the life of a wounded soldier; and he is now in Met z, modestly stopping in his hotel, where I intend to go and ascertain his name. Eye witnesses, who do not know him at all, told me of it. just now. How Nineteen Spies Were Shot In a Ditch. It appears that nineteen unfortunate men have just been executed in the ditch' of the fort at Mon Trouge, France. They were not shot like any ordinary criminals, by a file of soldiers, but disposed of by a sergeant, who, putting a pistol to the ear of each prisoner, one after the other, blew out their braitis. Among the men executed there are said to have been five staff ofiicers, recently captured on the plain of Satory disguised as shepherds. _ , the Illudisor ifapoleon. The death of the ifmperor of France is a possibility always so near that we could' not refuse credence to /iny direct statement of its occurrence ; at the same time it is an event of the character that rumor is sure to busy itself with every crisis like the present, and reports on the subject are therefore not to be hastily accepted. For years his majesty has been a sufferer from maladies sure to cause death save only when prevented by intercnrrent diseases of more rapid progress. He has been kept alive ~ and kept ' comfortable by assiduous attention and the most scrupulously careful life. "War has cast all that aside, and exposed him to the fatigues of a life too active for his years and . condition, and also-to the dreadful wear and ceaseless anxiety, chagrin and mortification. there is but little life left in him is a safe assumption from known general facts, and the circumstance that a dis tinguished .London physician has just made a special journey to give his advice would seem to indicate an urgent fear that even-that little is on the--wane;—llera!dr- -r -- ------- - ALSACE AND LORRAINE. Important Statistics. , In view of the complete victory of the Prus sians, the following is of great interest: W e perpetually read of Alsace and Lorraine as the Rhine provinces. We turn a map of the distance and to pretty much all the avail able geographical descriptions of that coun try,and we find no such divisions as provinces and no such names as Alsace and Lorraine. Instead thereof we find depart ments under , entirely different names. The fact is the old names of the provinces, are used in common life, and continu ally occur in history and reading, and in order to understand the subject thoroughly one must be familiar with both systems, the provincial , which existed prior to ITUO. and the Uepart mental, which has existed since. There were thirty-two great provinces and eight smaller ones, and there are eighty-nine departments. The old province of Alsace is divided now inter the Departments of the Lower lthinc and the Upper Rhine. The old province of Lor raine isdivided into the Departments of Mo selle, Vssges and Meuijbe. The population is as follows : " German Department. Total. Inhabitants. . Has 1! hip e,_.,;@9,000 fill ,000 ' Haut Rhine 530,000 430,000 Moselle .452,000 250,000 Meurthe and-Vosges. ..840,000 100,000 Here is a total of some 2,417,000 people, of which .1,357,000 are given to the use of the Ger man ilialects The lilostpr these are in Alsace, where only about one-tenth of the people are of French lineage and language, but. said a Merlin despatch of the 10th instant, “ Alsacian mniipathies are altogether French.” So lbe found them most as suredly. Lorraine, out of .1,2)8,000 people, has only one-fourth of German ante cedents.. Alsace was made part of France finally in 1048, and Lorraine iu 1760. They are now regarded with eager eyes by Prussia, which proposes to take them as part of the spoils of war. Already a monition goes forth through Europe, and Prussia hears a murmur against her ambitious designs. If there is any cue thing “ the Powers ” will have, it is an unchanged map. Louis Napoleon has tried to -«lve the problem of this, rectification of the frontiers, and his miserable failure is evidence <1 the difficulty attending the solution. A meeting of notables in Berlin addressed the King in protest against any foreign inter vention that would deprive Prussia of her re ward for Her late victories. They say “the sacrifices of Germany alone should be heard. Germany is willing to confide all to the King of Prussia in establishing a peace not again to he wantonly broken.” Prussia is so strong and -o arrogant in the pride of her military strength that Europe will find an obstinate will to overcome when the terms of filial set tlement come to be made, and if Prussia threatens war to keep what her sacri fices have won, the real dispo sition of the other States will he made manifest. England perhaps would fight for the autonomy of Belgium, but she would not care much for the Rhine frontier. Russia has an attachment for Prussia, but would not care to see her expand towards France, unless in <ome way the quiet of the Baltic provinces of Prussia was assured. The Poles are uneasy too, and might give Russia trouble under some circumstances, as they would Prussia,' under others. Austria is half tied down by tlie Gor man sympathies of her German people, and any interference between France and Prussia might provoke an agitation fatal to the unity of the Austrian Empire.

President - of. tiie Morris Canal Company, at Jersey City, for 51,050 85; on the 25th the check came back to the Cashier of the First National Bank, McEvers Fore man, Esq., enclosed in a letter requesting him to forward the money to “J. F. Randolph, J’resident, in care of' Alexander Robinson, No. G 7 Steuben street, Jersey City, as the banks there would not pay it. Upon the re ceipt of the letter, Mr. Foreman called upon Mr. Mingle, when it was decided that the check must have been stolen from the Post office and gotten into the hands of the wrong parties. Mr. Foreman at once tele gnqihed to Mr. Randolph, who stated that he had never received the check, and requesting him to arrest the parties presenting it, when Mr. Foreman replied that tho trouble was in J ersey Oity, and that he would be over on the next train and explain the matter. In the meantime Postmaster Mingle telegraphed to General Jones, tho Postmaster at Now York, in regard to the affair, requesting him to send a special agent to Jersey City at 6.30. Messrs. Mingle and Foreman left Easton on the 3.30 train and were at the Morris Canal Company’s office, where they also met the special agent, when,, in consultation with the Presi dent, it was . determined upon to, pro ceed at once and . endeavor, if possible, to arrest the parties. Accordingly tho mall carrier was sent for and a decoy letter ad dressed to Alexander P. Robinson given him to deliver. The special agent followed tho carrier, and on arriving at the numbor desig nated it was given to a young man about seventeen years of age, who at once opened the letter, when he was arrested. Two other young men were also arrested. It appears that they had access to tho lock-boxes, and have been following the business for some time. Yesterday a cheek of Col. Thomas H. Leary, addressed to the Morris Canal Com puny, came hack to the Easton National Bank from the same parties and, of courso was not paid. Robinson and liis confederates wore committed in'default of 910,000 ball.— Easton /.'/press. ' FIRE DAMP EXPLOSION. ACCIDENT AT SUSqUEHOMNSI. Two Miners Killed While They are Alone Particulars— I nil Acconnt of the Awful Affair. The Titusville Herald has the following par ticulars of a disaster already mentioned in our telegraphic column: A terrible disaster occurred at Nesquebon ing, on Thim-day last, at Slope No. 1. It took place about Si o’clock in the afternoon, and resulted in the death of two. men, Owon- Crossen and Hugh McDonald. The Scene of the accident is about three-tourths of a mile from that town, on the road to Summit Hill. The mine in whiph the-accident occurred has been worked, many years. It is very ncep—something over three hundred yards— and the gangways extend to a much further distance underground. There is considerable gas in the mine, and the men have to be very careful. Beveral times, before, there have been explosions which resulted fatally. It happened that only two men were in the; mine, all those who’work iti the daytime having gone home a few minutes before : the explosion occurred. _ At this Time there is no coal being cut in the eastern gang way, consequently not more than fprty men were working in the mine on Tuesday. Had they not come Unjust as they did, they would undoubtedly all have been killed. ’Asthe only men in the mine at the time of the accident were killed, we experienced some trouble in getting the particulars of the sad affair. At the Boar Named there were several miners standing about the mouth of the slope. Suddenly they saw a' cloud of dust coming but of the mine. The experienced miners at once ; understood the trouble, and immediately made arrangements to descend into the mine, as it was known that Crossen and McDonald were at work. Three brave men, Wm.Waikins, Peter Money and David W. Beese, volunteered to make the dangerous trip. In a short time all tne ne cessary arrangements were made, and the daring fellows descended the slope, through the blinding dust and sulphurous atr, into the treacherous darkness, thousands of feet from safet3- and daylight.' Too much praise cannot be awarded them. Men who will risk such a horrible death for the safety of their fellows are heroes. I'pou Arrivlner at Use Bottom,. of the slope, the party first looked to see if the door of the main gangway was closed, in order to discover if the air was flowing into the mine, as it should. The door was found all right, and the adventurous three proceeded. They made two or three attempts to go into tbe western gaugway, but the after-damp was so had they could not get far. About this time some more gallant miners had descended to aid in the search. - Among them were the" Superintendent, Mr, Smitham, Philip Coyle, Patrick Dully, Patrick MePhilllps, Stephen Griffiths, and several others whose names, we are sorry to say, we could not learn. With this reinforcement the work of getting at the men was renewed. At, the third attempt The Rudy or Onen Crossen was found amid the debris caused by the con cussion, in the main gangway; about three hundred-yards from the foot of the Slope, His body was carried out, and the brave men re turned to And that of McDonald. The ex plosion had caused several falls of coal, and each pile bad to be examined. This took con siderable time, but after a patient search Mc- Donald was fouud near the spot where Crossen lay. To get the remains to the top of the slope was the work of a very short time, as every moment they, the Superintendent and his men, were liable-to a violent death. When the hollies: arrived at the top of the slope nearly all the inhabitants of tho town were assembled. The scene beggars description. All evinced the greatest excitement. Every-, body present knew the unfortunate men anil their families, and near friends were gathered around tho mouth of tho dark and repulsive pit, giving vent to uncon trollable grief A looker-on was reminded of tlio terrible four days around the mouth of the Avondale mine a little less than a year ago. When it was known that both men were dead, the agonizing cries of their relatives rent the air. The procession to the homes of the de ceased was a mournful one. A still silence seized all, and the people moved along quietly with downcast faces. The town word the ap pearance of mourning for several days. The Force of tbe Explosion was very great. Though it occurred about six hundred yards from the mouth of the mine, some small pieces of coal were thrown this distance. Some ears on the track in tho gangway were blown some ttfty or sixty yards. TBE RESUSCITATION HORROR. Sknffsrs Lives Fifteen Honrs After Resus citation-Staring nt the Doctors—Final Disposition of tiie Eody. The intelligence has at last arrived that the murderer, John H. Skaggs, who was hanged at Bloomfield, Missouri, on the 20th ult., and subsequently restored to life by electricity, died in fifteen hours after he was lowered from the gallows. The St. Louis Repul/lkan says: •‘Skaggs was hung at 1.10 in the after noon, and after the physicians had been operating upon ldm up to nearly 9 o’cloek, in an endeavor to resuscitate him, the attempt was given up as hopeless. Dr. Sanders was the first to desist, then Dr. McDonald, and finally Dr. Jackson. It was nine o’cloek when Sheriff Kitchen left him. Skaggs was thon breathing heavily, as if asieep. Some minutes before this he waa-very weak, but had; when the galvanic battery was not in operation, thrown his left arm over his breast and then by his side. The last action of .the doctors was to examine Skaggs’s tougue, and no sooner had Dr. Mc- Donald done this than he picked up his hat and walked out. Slcaggs was able to open and shut his eyes, aud as the Sheriff stepped' near the body they followed him. They also followed the movements of B. S. Butts, who was in the room. It is perhaps fortunate for these gentlemen that they were almost ex pressionless, as if fixed in dull leaden stare. Three men remained by tho body as it lay on the bench in the dimly-lighted room of the court-house, and they watched it narrowly, Skaggs seemed to gain strengtb.hut after mid night his breathing was very labored. At 4 o’clock next morning it was almost inaudible, and at 4.18 it.stopped. Skaggs had at last died. He never spoke after he was hanged. There was a . little difference about the burial of the body. Mr.Chapman,attorney,who had received an order from Skaggs as to the disposition of the body, asked tho Sheriff to inter it at the expense of the county. Col. Kitoliep said Mr. Chapman and the doctors had contended that he had no right to interfere in the matter after the man had been cut down, and now he would have nothing to do with it, unless Mr. Chapman declined to do what he considered his (Mr. Chapman’s) duty. •If he would not bury it hq (the Sherifl) would get twenty men to assist at it without any expense to the county, Mr. Chapman had the body interred. A grave was dug on the hank of Minor’s Creek, outside the town, and Skaggs was buried at 5 o’clock on Saturday evening- Not far from where he was laid, the remains of - threemen who were lynched for horso-steal- Ing during the war were rudely interred. —Vienna papers Say the reported offer of the son of ex-King George of Hanover, to Berve in the French army, whioh was not ac cepted by Emperor Napoleon, will make the blind monarch and his liousc forever an ob ject of detestation to every German.
