Den tbs In the Rapids and Whirlpool. It is a standing tradition of the Niagara In dians, shared to a great extent now by the white people in the vicinity of the Fails, that the •• (.'-.eat Spirit’’ or Thunderer of Waters must have annually four victims sacrificed to his power. Curiously enough, a year sel dom passes during which at least four per-, sous are not drowned, either in the Falls' or the whirlpool below. This year an old man of more than 70 years stepped ‘into the breakers above the Palis, and, losing his hold, was swept over the frightful cataract. At De Vaux College, a. student, daring his companions to wade into the whirlpool was sucked into its terrific eddies, and instantly disappeared to he seen no more.. A few days afterward a drunken father, adventured, with his two children and a reprobate companion, into a boat above the rapids, and in their drunken, orgies the little' ones were thrown out and drowned, though the two" drunken wretches escaped. So far, therefore, the Indians believe implicity in the fourfold sacrifice, and each year’s disasters confirm their belief. - FACTS AND FANCIES. The Prussians have just driven the poor old Baroness de Beumont from her chateau for the third time. They first forced her to fly in ’:i2, then again in 1814. and now at the age of ninety-four she is once more obliged to abandon her home. The baroness lives a few miles from Montmedy, at the chateau of Grand-Verneuil, where apartments were pre pared to receive Lpifis XVl.during his flight. They were never occupied by the unfortunate monarch, who was stopped at Vareunes. —A transcendental sheet published some where in New England is of the opinion that the gifted Gilmore was divinely inspired when he conceived the idea of his great Boston Jubilee. “ ForP.S.

The Prussian column of thirty thousand men was encountered by a ! French force of about equal numbers, posted in the most advantageous position, and with formidable artillery. The engagement was extremely severe, and lasted nearly six hours; a fresh column of nearly 20,000 Prussians came up after the battle had gone on for three hours and attempted, by a flank movement, to enter the woods. The slaughter here was learful. The masked batteries of the French mitrailleuses kept up so continuous- and terri ble afire that the cavalry and infantry of the Prussians were decimated and repulsed along the whole line. They finally fell backin disorder)' hotly pursued by the French , who cut off their .retreat upon Cobell and the Essone, and drove them down tbemain line of the Orleans road, more than three miles through Salighy "arid Epenay-sur-Age, and back again about a mile and a half, upon the village of Mouthbery, where a forced stand wasmade in the Buigun dian Cemetery. The Prussians were here routed and driven in --disorder* back towards” .their main body, being compelled to evacuate Cobell at the same time arid reeoneentrate upon Melun.

World isasfoiloivsj- London, Sept. 20.—A Cabinet meeting was held this evening, but adjourned after waiting till 10 o'clock in vain for news of the result of the interview between Jules Favre and Count Bismarck. Nothing positive had then been attained; hut the despatches received early in the evening here intimate that Count Bis marck has manifested a disposition to recede Irom his extreme demands,and that he will in duce the KiDg to consent to treat with the provisional government as soon as its powers shall have been confirmed by a constituent as sembly. He objects, however, to an armis tice. There is no longer, any doubt that Russia has made what amounts to a positive threat that she will not permit the territorial aggran dizement of Germany. This is continued to ms from the highest quarters ; and to the at titude of Russia, taken in connection with the growing indignation of the English peoDle at the course of Mr. Gladstone's government, peace must be attributed, if peace is now reached. The Russian fleets are fitting for sea At Cronstadt, and, as.l have repeatedly noti fied you, the Russian armies on the Polish frontier are ready to assume the offensive at once, if necessary.

A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Florenville on Sept. 4, says: heard dreadful accounts' of the horrors still to he seen in the tillages and fields where the recenfeDgagement occurred. Aladyand gentleman wearing the GenpyA’crbSs iol'dius they had yesterday vfsitedavillage about six teen rfules from this-—I should say the remains of a village, lor it had been burned. The scene there they described as being beyond all de scription horrible. •■'- It appears that the peasantry inhabiting it had fired.- upon and wounded and killed several of the 1 German surgeons while in the act pf attending to wonnded soldiers, and, as a reprisal and measure., of. warning., for L.the future, the village had been burned. The work bad been done so suddenly, quickly, and effectually, that the women and children bad been, unable. to escape, and their bodies, charred, and blackened, many of them still burning; lay about the village , street, mingled with the heaps of French and Prussian soldiers who had fallen in. one of the most desperate encounters of the war. “ You had better not go to see it/’ said the lady, ‘.‘yon will never be able to forget it all the days of your life.” A correspondent of the London Times writes ironi Florenville September i - The appearance of the. town of Douzy—l; have called it indifferently town antj village, for though it had only a population of a little over 3,1100, the stamp, and substantility of many of the houses, as far as one.could judge, were more that of -a town than of avillage; the appearance of the place I cannot' better describe than by saying that itlooked as ifofie great thunderbolt had fallen upon and in one •moment destroyed it utterly: The human , bodies had by this time been removed from the street, but the charred 'remains of helmets and shakos, and the stocks of rifles, ‘ with every here : and there swords' and bayonets and every sort of weapon, showed that while the -flames were raging all round them, and the helpless women and children were literally being roasted alive in the houses and .in thestreets, the maddened combatants did not cease from the battle, but died no doubt in numbers, -he.m.m.ed in .by. the .fiames.while they—were fighting. It is almost impossible to realize that such things can have occurred in this age ot civilization, and that humanity and civili zation and Christianity should be disgraced by lionurs that seem the very outcome of hell. It is like an evil dream ; but it is to be hoped these terrible events will leave the world wiser for the future. " The completeness and suddenness of the de struction were evidenced by numberless little ■ circumstances—such as the burnt remains of birds and animals one would have expected of all other to escape—dogs and pigeons, afid even cats in large numbers. Hundreds of people betook themselves to the cellars, it is said, and there perished of suffocation. Nowhere could there have ap peared an asylum for the miserable people— raging flames and suffocating smoke inside their houses, and outside falling walls and .roofs, and men like fiends incarnate fighting amid the flames and the blazing wreck. ] l walked aboutthrough the dreary streets. Here and there wretched old men and women I-were hanging about the ruins of their houses | in a sort of stupor apparently. Some of them were weeping and sobbing. “ 1 have lived GG years in this town,” one poor fellow said to me; “ I was away from home when this Oc curred, and now I don’t know whether any of my family are left Jams* .or ..whether uot all burled in there,” pointing to the ruins of his house. Horrors of the Battle-field. A correspondent of the Paris Journal has the following: “At Givonne I saw avast trench more than half a mile long and six feet deep. In it French and Prussians lay side by side, no longer enemies, but brave men united in death. On a mound of earth was a general and an aide-de-camp. ,1 approached and found that it was Deß ailiy. He was an in capable officer, but be died like a soldier.. •“ The grapeshot bad torn open his breast to show that he had a heart. Fragments of a shell had fractured his left shoulder, entered tho. abdomen, shattered • the, .thighs, anti ploughed into the forehead. He was so dis figured that had I not been told that it was him 1 should never have recognized him. His aide-de-camp, quite a young mau, had re ceived a bullet through the head.” FRANCE AND AMERICA.

The Ger mans have reimbursed the French inhabitants as tar as was in their power. A rigorous ex amination has been instituted by Bismarck, and the regiments sent to the rear, being stripped of their banners and all emblems of honor. The guilty regiments were the Second Hesson Darmstadt Infantry and the Twelfth Prussian line. —lnstead of one treasure chest of the French army being captured, the Germans captured a good many, but, unfortunately for them, they did not contain much.

A JIABISE niSr£BY SOLVED. An Abandoned Vessel at New castle. The "Wilmington Commercial, says: It was briefly noted in yesterday’s Commer cial that an abandoned bark had been picked up and brought to New Castle. The vessel was boarded by E. J. Quillian, mate, and Jas- Qutlhan, seaman, from the schooner Joseph !’■ Comegys, of Frederica, and taken into tne Breakwater, whence she was towed to New Castle by the tug America. At the time the vessel was boarded there was no one on board. A hen was found alive in a chicken coop, showing the vessel had not been long abandoned. The cabin was in the clothing and beds having been removed. On the table was a quantity of “hard tack” and corned beef—an untouched meal—wine bot tles and sardino boxes were scattered about in prolusion. In the cabin were four stuffed-seat rocking chairs, evidently freight. The vessel now lies at the coal wharf, and is in charge of Deputy Collector Aydelotte. It is believed that her cargo consists of logwood, coffee, wines and liquors, The above facts are from our correspondent at N ew Castle. On inquiry of the Custom House officers of this port, we learn fchafE the vessel’s name is . the Paodi Cayenne, of Bordeaux; and that she hails irom Maracaibo,and is believed to be laden withv coifee and .hides.

A BE3IABKABEE DISCOTEBY. * A Ship Found In a CaIIUmIASMSH, By many it has been held as a lhaory that; the Yuma desert was once an ocean bed. At intervals pools of salt water have stood for a. while in the midst of the surrounding waste of sand, disappearing only to rise again in the same or other localities. A short time since one of these Saline lakes disappeared, and a party of Indians reported the discovery of a .•• big ship” left by the receding waves. A party of Americans at ouce proceeded to tho spot, and found imbedded in the sands the ’ wreok of a large vessel. Nearly one-third of tb,e forward part of the ship or bark is plainly visible. The stump of the bow sprit remains, and portions of the timbers of teak are perfect. The wreck is located forty miles north of the San Bernardino and Fort . Yuma road, and thirty miles west of Eos Fai- V mos, a well-known watering-place on the* i desert. The road across the desert has bee’ a traveled for more than one hundred.-year a.
