FETHERSTON & CO. “Friday, September 23,1870. the peace NEGOTIATIONS. I It is impossible to determine accurately,from j the obscure and contradictory cable reports,the : progress of negotiations between Favre and Bismarck, and the chances of peace. .It must i - te confessed, however, that the stories which are received are not of. a very promising char acter, and-that there is no good' reason for hoping for an early cessation of hostilities.- One of the principal, difficulties in the way is the in disposition of Prussia to accept the Provisional; government as a fair representative of the pep- L pie, and to repose faith in. its power to make good its promises. , This obstacle does not be- I come less serious with the progress of events,, but is actually xhade more* formidable by th e violent revolutionary demonstrations in several of the cities where the Red Republicans are strong enough to disown the government in I Paris and to enforcement of their own extreme theories. Of course, if M. Favre feels I compelled to accept humiliating terms from Bismarck, this violent .. party-will be greatly strengthened), and it is not unlikely that his action will be disavowed by some. of. the fac tions. But it is impossible to. perceive how such a difficulty is to be avoided unless | FavrOis penmitted to carry out his scheme of a popular election and to organize a government which shall be assured of the support of the ; people.,’ Thatcan hardly be accomplished satis factorily while the Prussian armies in France are conducting offensive operations with vigor; and as King William manifests an intention to refnse an.armistice, he must either treat with the Provisional government, without guaran tees as it is, or, after the capture of Paris, pro ceed to set up a bogus government after his own fashion, with which to arrange a treaty of peace. It is very certain, however, that this creature, no matter what its components, would be repudiated by the French people, and so Prussia would have no better assurance of, the | fulhUmentof the treaty than she would if she had accepted the present government. - That, we sin- I oerely believe, has the confidence of the mass of the people. Whether it would retain that confi dence in . the event of its. consent being given to the cession of French territory, is doubtful. The fact is Prussia has gotten herself into an I extremely embarrassing position, from which graceful and safe escape seems very difficult. She will be compelled to treat with somebody eventually, for her armies cannot remain in France and carry on the war forever. - Convo cation of an Assembly elected directly by the people is the simplest method of securing a legal authority, and if Prussia will give Favre an opportunity he will place the government and the treaty power in the hands of such a body in less than a month. The conditions ol peace that Prussia will offer will probably be of suclra barsh-kind-that all the power of a strong popular government will be needed > - to fulfil them, and to prevent any revolutionary demonstrations from dissatisfied people. AttVAIICS. The boat-race on the Schuylkill yesterday was an important event in the history of the Schuylkill Navy. It was the first rowing con test between our amateur oarsmen and the clubs of New York, represented by that fine organization, the Nassau Club. With true Philadelphia hospitality, the Schuylkill crew, admirably simulating all the motions of a de termination to win the race, allowed their guests to win this first race; and in the “ wee, sma’hours” this morning, the Nassaus re turned home with ail the honors of a decided victory, and with' a keen appreciation of the generous, hospitalities of which they were the .... their flytag.vfcit. to Philadel phia. To those who may be unwilling to believe that the result of this exciting race was due to a proper regard for the feelings oi the strangers of Nassau, and who would have been willing to forego the pleasures of magnanimity for th.e sake of the exultation of victory, we would say that there are several other reasons why the Schuylkill crew could not have won the race if they had tried to. The Nassau crew, as their recent contest with the Mutual crew at Albany so abundantly proved, were'in a condi tion oi unrivalled training. It was not mere thews and sinews that enabled them to distance their Albany competitor in such magnificent style itwas their continued and scientific training. And it was skillful training that won the race, yesterday. For the first mile and a half the Philadelpliians, who had chivalrously accepted the challenge, held their own, iu a tough neck and-neck contest, but then the pace began to tell on their untrained wind and muscle, and although they stuck gallantly to their adver saries, it was evident that there was a de ficiency in bottom, on the part of some of the crew, which no amount of enthusiasm could overcome. And while the Nassaus bad the most Wind, they had the least weight, carrying nearly forty pounds less, among their stalwart quartette, than their competitors, who, although every man pulled himself down Until he liter ally rowed in bis “skeleton,”.were still left at this disadvantage. In addition to these reasons for ’ losing the ■ race was the iact that the Philadelphia bow-oar Three still suffering.'from'a . ~c6Ußlph with iiffbtliMlSiithgger,' while training* a few days ago, hy_ which they were nearly cut in two, the sharp projection .of the stupid £ol ' lidercatching them m the iia.uk and inflicting severe though, we are happy to say, not fata) . wounds. t And when w« add- t&-this:the~ other fie! that one of the crew was enjoying the full luxury of one of Job’s most distressing corn forters, it will be' seen that the race resulted precisely as it should have done. We congratulate the Schuylkill Navy on the very handsome manner in which they have been beaten.. Had they won this race, it would’i&ve been a serious disappointment to the Nassau .gentlemen whose visit to Philadel. plsa they desired ■to make>s pleasant as possi ble. .And it .would also have, had a demoral i2tog"effect on the Schuylkill Navy. They, would have rested on their oars, withaepm : placent “ Way ’nongh!” and we should have ihad the niortification of being beaten m real 'earnest, iii the next race. As it is, the contest ‘•of y.etterday will rouse the young gentlemen of ■ the Schuylkill Navy into an activity andtletcr ' mination which will soon win hack the colors tliey have lost, and raise their organization to the numbers and the enterprise which, they ought to display, in view of the' splendid ad vantages and opportunities which they enjoy. •THE EASTERN QUESTION AGAIN. There are pretty plain indications that the warlike preparations of Russia are not intended, after all, as a promise of-Russian interference in behalf of France and against the Prussian schemes. of territorial annexation. = The de velopments of the last two or three days, while they do not disprove utterly the theory that the Czar regards the aggrandizement of Prussia with jealousy,. demonstrath the possibility of the existence of an entirely different kind of feeling. The intention of the Czar seems to be to seize the present opportunity to re-open the Pastern question, and to satisfy the tradi tional longing of Russians for the dominions of the Sultan. Since the Crimean war there has been no chance to assail Turkey without provoking the instant interference of France and England, which were joined in guarantee ing it against Russian aggression. France is how helpless to fulfil her promises, and England probably will be afraid to make hers good. So it will not be Burprising if Russia at last de termines to accomplish her manifest destiny upon -the shores of the Black Sea, as Italy fulfilled heFs by seizure of Rome. There will be even less occasion for surprise if we should find that this act was com ' mitted with the connivance of Prussia,' which gave her ednsent to the scheme as the price of I the non-interference of Russia with Prussian designs-in-France. The existence of a secret r treaty, or an understanding to that effect, is at least within the bounds of probability. Of course any movement against Turkey on the part of Russia would be a grave insult to Eng land—an insult even more offensive than that I offered J>y Napoleon when he proposed to Prussia the partition of Belgium and Holland. But we imagine England will accept it in a cowardly manner and permit the robbery to proceed without forcible protest. At the most, I she could not, in her present position, do .any thing more than offer. to Turkey assistance which would avail little in the presence of the I enormous power of Russia. It will be a singu lar consequence of Napoleon’s assault upon I Prussia if England Is drawn a second time into a terrible war with Russia upon the ancient Eastern question. THE KI6HT VSE OF PENS SQUARES. "While there is no reasonable argument which can be adduced in favor of destroying Broad street, by placing the Public Buildings at Broad and' Market streets, there ip a very wise and proper use to which the Penn Squares may, be applied. They are extremely well suited for the loca tion of literary and scientific institutions as proposed by the Legislature. Academies of science and of fine arts have never been in any country self-supporting. Looking as they do, not .to individual profit or advantagepmt to the general good, all governments have con sidered that no money was better invested than in their aid. It is a great misfortune to this country that there should not be a liberal aid extended to these centres of knowledge and cultivation. There is no country in ad vance of us in her common school system, except Prussia, and what Prussian intelligence and education can do we have lately seen; it is to the individual intelligence and capacity of the soldiers that the Germans have been lately indebted for their astonishing successes. But these German governments have been very far from resting satisfied with common school teaching. Within the last few years more than a million has been spent by them in j building and endowing great chemical schools alone. In every department of art, science and literature, aid is extended. Strangely enough, we Americans overlook the importance of these things as a people, though as indi viduals we do not: there are as many Ameri cans availing themselves of the advantages of German education at Heidelberg as would furnish out a fair college by themselves. Our citizens should awake, to the fact that in a few weeks they will be called upon to decide what they will do in the whole of this matter, and whether they will give up the Penn Squares to be wholly obliterated by municipal build ings, or whether they will allow our best aud most useful institntions the privilege and the use of portions of them towards enlarging their capacity for usefulness. There is an oppor tunity now for enabling us as a community to take a great stride in advance. We are push ing forward in material progress, let us not get behind in intellectual development, without which mere extension in size and increase in wealth amount to but little.

BEKLi>’,Sept.23.—Advices from Melun state that the Prussian guns which have been planted upon the heights at Sceaux, four miles south of Paris, are in excellent position for directing a heavy fire against the southern portion of the city. Here the Prussian cannon command the road from Paris, and such j) sweep as to render a protracted defence by General Vinoy after his defeat near the forts at Oharenton and Bicetre, unlikely The gunners have already tried the range of their pieces and cleared away the obstructions to their sight. - It is certain that the Prussians will notun dertake to besiege the extraordinary works of Fort St. Denis, as the obstacles to the ap proaches are too laborious of surmounting. The Seine environs of St. Denis and fosse3 have been filled. The . works of Fort Vim cennes have been abandoned by their garri son, who have withdrawn within the interior The fortress has been undermined. Its con tinued occupation would have been disadvan- tageous, as the position is commanded by the neighboring hills. Appearance of the Yellow Fever nt Bar celona.

By the sudden and awful spread of the con- tagion, one thousand persons have heen attacked and prostrated hy the fever, and of this number three hundred and fifty have died of the fever. The hospitals are crowded with patients, and the scarcity of nurses is such that the sick can receive little attention. People are leav- ing the city by every train.

THE WAR IN FRANCE THE BATUE BEFORE PARIS Later Particulars COMPLETEROUT OFTH S FRENCH [By the American Precis Association.! [SECOND DESPATCH. 1 Account of tbe Crsat Battle Hear Paris Yesterday. London, Sept. 23,Nobn^— Thefollowing tbrill ing particulars of the great battlefought to the south of Paris have been received, and great -excitement prevails over the intelligence : - Paris, Tuesday, Sept. 20, Even!ng.—Yester day three divisions, composed of picked men, under command of Generals Huguis, Ducrot and Caussado, attacked the Prussians whd ■were massed in the woods of Clamart, Ver siens and Meudon. The assault was gallantly and the, woods,alm.ost reachedwhen,the Prussians, opened; fire - upon the advancing columns. 1 ■ - . '■■■■■ They had massed at the entrance of the woods heavy batteries of artillery, which sud denly uncovered and from them a terrific fire of grape and canister was opened upon the advancing French columns. The latter.were staggered and their ranks torn to pieces bv the sudden and awful fire poured into them almost point biank. The Prussian guns were served unremit tingly, and their fire wasterribly accurate, in ' flictlng great loss upon the French, who were completely surprised and thrown into the greatest confusion, which caused a dreadful mistake. In their bewilderment two regi ments of French collided. The Mobiles mistook the Sixteeuth Regi ment for a force of the enemy and poured a galling fire into their ranks, killing many by their grievous blunder. Their commanders became separated and fired wildly into each ’other. I The French commander, seeing the disas trous turn of the engagement, ordered a, re treat, which was effected in confusion. The Prussians, availing themselves of the retreat, gained the heights of Meudon and St. Cloud, and dragged ,up guns to the summit, where” they established their batteries, and from this elevation began to play upon the French regi ments, composed of reserves and recruits who had not yet been under fire. The well-directed guns of the Prussian batteries made terrible havoc among the green troops, who, disre garding all command, broke and fled. Shells were poured into them from the heights and the retreat became a route. The reserves participated in the panic and the young soldiers threw down their arms and ran. The entire French forces who had moved to the assault of Clamart and Versiers and Meudon, thereupon retired in disor ganized rank, their retreat being protected by the guns of fort Montiouges and De Vauves. Montiouge replied to- the Prussians fire and sheltered the scattered French from pursuit. The scene within the walls of Paris, upon the south, beggars description. The city is crowded with fugitives of what went forth an exultant army, but returned a beaten rabble. Paris is wild with desperate rage at this de ,feat, andthe beaten soldiers are upbraided with every conceivable expression. The fugitives endeavor to shield themselves thnt the Zouaves fled, and thereby caused the disaster. The Prussians retain the heights of Meudon, where they have, been reinforced. The French columns, which retained their organization - during the retreat, are holding Crony, upon the plains; between Clamart and Chatillon. The forts Montiouge and De Vauves cover their rear and flanks. ... ;...12j17 No. 3 Rue Scribe, Paris. London, Sept. 23, 2P. M.—U.

Boderich Butler’s Benomlnatlon. [Special Despatch to thePhila. Evening Bulletin.] Washington, Sept 23 —The renomination of Roderick B. Butler, of Tennessee, for Con gress is very much regretted-here by a num ber of Bepublicans, and is regarded as likely, to injure the Bepublican party elsewhere, iu view of hisnotoriety in connection with the Pension Office frauds. Since his mock trial arid release from arrest in Tennessee, the Pen sion Bureau officials have been searching dili gently for additional evidence which would aid in convicting Mr. Butler, and in this they have been very successful. It appears that when the late war broke out there resided in Eastern Tennessee a : number of pensioners of the -war of 1812. In 1862 Congress passed a law Suspending the payment of pensions to those residing in the States in rebellion. Af ter the close of the war, in 1866, an act was passed allowing those who were debarred from drawing pensions by the law of 1862 to beplaced on the list again by proving loyalty during the rebellion. Sir. Butler presented a large num ber of claims to the Pension Bureau, duly made out and with the oath of the claimant annexed as to loyalty. After a number of these claims had been paid, the Bureau re ceived letters from pensioners,saying that Mr. Butler bad illegally charged them from twenty five to fifty per cent, on the amount collected. The Bureau made an investigation into the matter, and asceitaining that the re ports were well-founded, struck Mr. Butler’s name from the list of attornies allowed to prac tice before the Bureau. Mr. Butler subse quently endeavored to explain the matter, but his explanation only satisfied the Bureau as to his guilt, and his name was kept off the list until after he was eleoted to Congress. Recent investigations have disclosed the fact that on many claims forwarded by Butler, the pen -sioneris-riames-have-been~forged r ~aud_false oaths made to their loyalty, many of them having aided the rebellion, and so informed Mr. Butler, who replied that he could fix it all right with the Pension Bureau, and did by causing false oaths to be annexed to the papers and applying for a restoration to the pension rolls. No doubt is entertained at the Pension Bureau as to the guilt of Mr. Butler and of his conviction, if a trial can he had outside of T6D11G8866 The Next President and Vice-President.

The same paper says that the Republicans ■will carry Georgia at the election next De cember by 20,000 majority. Secretary Cox Censured. Secretary Cox is likely to have some trouble with the leading Republican politicians this fall about his clerical appointments in the In tetior Department. The Secretary has, it seems, totally disre garded politics in making appointments, and appointed persons to positions who are active opponents to the Republican party 1 and the Administration of President Grant, And who were ardent sympathizers with, the late re bellion. The matter is much talked about here, and Secretary Cox's action is quite severely oomv mented upon in Republican circles. Secretary Boutwell is expected back on Friday, when Assistant- Secretary Richardson will return to Massa chusetts, stopping to visit President Grant, at Dong Branch, by invitation. Naval Orders, Commander S. P. Quackenbush has been detached from Equipment duty at the Norfolk Yard and ordered to Ordnance duty. Lieut. George R.
