Diabolical Atrocity. GOODS HOUSE) Now followed a scene which for cruelty, torture and damnable brutality has never been excelled either in this or any other age; a piece of cruelty to animals that should be denoanced with the execrations of a civilized community. Finding the poor half-starved brutes would not tear and rend each other with their sharp horns, a number of men and boys, armed with whips, stood over the smallest animal, and, from the platform above’ it, whipped the bull until it fell to the earth, where, for fully half an hour, the prostrate animal was whipped in detail until its eyes were whipped out. The other brute having been lassoed was drawn to the platform by a party of human beasts, more beastly than the beast itself, and held, while two of their numbers gouged its eyes from their sockets, the poor brute bel lowing pitifully in its anguish. Fully fifteen minutes were consumed m this horrible sport. The brutal torturers finally desisted from pure exhaustion, and the bleeding and blinded animals staggered around moaning with, anguish. The Platform Gives Way. How long the horrid scene would have con tinued we know not, hut by a divine dispen sation of Providence, a part of the spectator’s gallery gave way, precipitating the/ occupants to the earth in one promiscuous heap of hu manity, brutality and pine lumber. Carl Schnrz Injured., Among the crowd which fell with the scaf folding' were Senator Carl Sohurz, Congress man Van Horn, and their friends, who, in company with Mayor E. M.McGee, had driven out to see the .fight. We are happy to say no one was very seriously hurt. Senator Schurz escaped with a damaged nose, and others with slightThruises. . Ibe Hopes and Fears of the fineen. A correspondent says : The* Queen of England, swayed by the double motive of family affection and oi royal prejudice, lends her ear to tho statesmen who represent to her that it is best to let war go on until the republic is 1 crushed. If, say they, tho French republic maintains itself, all Europe and her own dominions will he agi tated by republican revolutions. Germany will not escape the contagion: her daughter, instead of becoming Queen of Germay, may live to see herself the wife of a dethroned prinee, and her son may be deprived of even the shadow of authority which still is left to the sovereign of Great Britain. These influences brought to bear on her Majesty are power ful. But the pressure in the other direction iB also strong, and is hourly becom ing stronger. The present attitude ot England cannot he much longer maintained, and at any moment you may hear that it has been changed. If net, the words of a German prophet wiil find a speedy verification — “ When the peace comes, the contempt of the World will weigh on England's shoulders like a mountain, and perhaps a compassionate European! congress will one day nffeet to de clare her island kingdom neutral, like Belgium and Switzerland, and enable the Queen, to sell her fleets as - a asslCES^-40y,-to-thehighesfc bidder.” ' - • _ ■.!_■' ' --The govehimemt'-in at the unexpected strength which, the Democra tic party m the metropolis and in other i parts of the oountry (has displayed within the past few days, and is not by any means unanimous qa to the poli'oy which It should pursue/, ; —Tupper has made another literary appear ance, this time publishing his '‘xreea.”, vwfyit lie believes is by,' no means so strange as that such a multitude of people should believe in Tupper.

Tbe Combatants Meet. ES GLAND’S POSITION. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1870. * FIRST EDITION. WAR NEWS. - THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS Account of Favre’s Visit to Bismarck EVENTS IN GBEAT PEACE MEETINGS LONDON [By Gable J A Voice from Paris. London, Sept. 27th.—Your correspondent at Paris sends- me by private hand memoranda of the events which happened there between the 18th and the 21st. — On Sunday, the 18th, a .reconnoissance in force was made towards Creteil, about eight miles from Paris, on the left bank of the Marne. There a spirited fight took place betweenthesharpshootersand a' body of German cavalry, in which the 'former were • victorioua. The reconnoissance was -completely successful, and the troops engaged returned to Paris with a loss of about fifty men, bringing with them a number of prisoners and muon very valuable informa tion. " On the same day the Germans crossed the Beine nearChatore, cutting and destroying the St Germain railway, ana made a heavy requisition at Montmorency. It was an nounced on this day that all the railways had been Interrupted by the Germans. On this day, too, the Baron : Ambert, after leaving the Jockey Club, was arrested by National Guards on the Boulevard des Capunines, for refusing to cry “ Vive la Repubiique” at the behest of a crowd. On Monday, the 19th, the Garde Mobile elected their own officers. The election passed off without violence or disorder, and crowds of the people of Paris after the elec tion, goiog to the Place de la Concorde, sur rounded the emblematic statue of the city of Strasbourg and.crowned it with garlands of flowers. On the same day the “ Legion of the Friends of France,” a force of foreigners em bracing-many Americans, went on duty at the fortifications. On the 20th came the news from tbe scoots that the Uhlans had slept at the Palace of Ver sailles,- and skirmishes with he results of im portance occurred before the fort oflvry. On this day the arrest of Baron Ambert was brought to the knowledge of Genral Trochu. He personally examined into the ; matter, ordered Baron Apibert to be at oice_dis charged, and severely reproved the National Guards who arrested him. Oh the 21st General Ducrot", with Generals (l’Hugues and Cauzai, attacked the posted in the woods of Clamapt. During the action a battalion of the Garde Mobile, mis taking the Sixteenth Regiment for a portion of the- enemy’s force, fifed into - it, which caused a. dreadful confusion, of which the Prussian main body on the heights of ,Meu don and St. Cloud promptly took advantage. A m urderous fire was poured in- upon general stampede then took place, and the pursuit, was only stopped .by . the guns - of Fort Montrouge. In the evening, groups of the fugitives gathered about the cafes on the boulevards, reciting and exaggerating the events of the day, till the police and patriots interfered and drove them back to their bar racks. On this day M. Jules Favre left Paris to visit Count von Bismarck at Ferrieres.near Meaux. During all this time no serious dis turbance of the peace took place, nor was the general confidence of the people in the' government shaken, -nor their resolution to resist to the last abated.— World. Forces of tbe Germans In France. Ostf.nd, Sept. 25.—From German sources I have the following estimate of the German armies now in France : Before Metz, Strasbourg, Bitsche, Ver dun and Phalsburg 220,000 Before and around Paris. ,400,000 Guarding the communications 50,000 New French Army of the Northwest. Rouen, Sept. 26.—A new army, being the fifth in the field outside of Paris, is now form ing at this capital of Normandy. The mate rial is splendid—the hardy and prosperous N ormans and the fierce, determined Britons —and the armamentrecjbived by way of Havre is excellent- It is estimated that there are now under arms here, with the soldiers of the line, more than 80,000 men, of whem about one-half occupy a fortified position on the slopes of the hill of Bt. Catherine. The armies now assembling and organizing are roughly computed as follows: The Army of the Northeast, Lille 76,000 The Army of the Northwest,Rouen.. . . 80,000 The Army of the Loire, Tours 120,000 The Army, of Lyons, Lyons. 150,000 The Army of the South, Marseilles 1200,000 Mr. Disraeli's Organ on tbe War, London, Sept. 2s —The Standard to-morrow will have a leader saying . Bismarck made a great mistake in treating the provisional gov ernment with hauteur and contempt. Ho ought to have welcomed it as the best auxili ary force for a satisfactory termination of the war. No possible government in France or abroad Could sigh a peace giving so much and giving it so genuinely. The permanent con quest of France is out of the question. The occupation of France may be posssiblo if Ger many can keep up her armies. Every day the war continues reduces the ability of France to pay the German bill. Bismarck and the King will yet regret that they refused to deal more generously with the gentlemen of the pavement. It is not impossible, even now, that Paris may make a resistance which will compel the besiegers to retire, and the strug gle may last all through the winter. Fortune, with Prussia to-day, may be with. France to morrow. In forcing her power she cannot lay claim to magnanimity. Had she insisted only on the razing of the fortresses the world would have applauded. The refusal of France to ac cept an armistice is politically suicidal. Mis governed, defeated, but defiant, France may well excite the sincere sympathy of the world — World: . x i , ®.* ,Bm “ rcb ' lavro Dinicnlty— Tiifl Military Idea a Promovant to DisaKree ment—TonMoltbe’s Opinion. .. .-iQNi>£>N t Sept..2S^Sh9 :T:^yssi>.; .df negotla-' lions between Count Bismarck and JjileaFavre ~-waBagS'l^ngaraia^fi>"' , lgg v weak-' ness of the French government, which" daros not follow its own ■ JEhe question of recognizing Favre officially was not raised. Fayire admitted at the outset that he and his colleagues could give noguar antees of permanent peace, but desired an ar : mistice. until a Constituent Assembly could he chosen and mebt. He admitted also that Ger ' many cddld'not bo asked to ’.relinquish teinpo i rarily any advantage resulting. £Vom her pres i.es,titftmtary-p(iiiJlQh;i:;andi;jii3Ss;|^..agreed rt the- negotiations should proceed on a basis that bulugive Germany at the end of the armis •*£C, if Jhe Constituent Assembly rejected terms, the some relative superiority she now has. ;• . The disagreement commenced on purely military questions, Von Moltke pointing out that the simple lapse of time was an essential injury that must be compensated by the re linquishment by France of specified material advantages. He demanded tne surrender of btrasbourg, Toul and Verdun, all three of .these, because they obstructed: German com munication. To open these and accelerate tbe movements of the. heavy guns, atqmuni tion and supplies Moltke considered a partial compensation for the delay. Metz wasnbtde manded, because it did not interrupt comma-, nications. . ...- The unexpected moderation of these, terms impressed Favre, who, personally, it -is be- J» e v®d, would have gladly accepted them, but he had no final authority from his colleagues, andreturned-toParistoconsult.— - —• .Fh the meantime the state of affairs in the city.bad grown Worse, and the difficulty of maintaining authority was greater than-ever. The ‘‘ Re<ls T ’ are turbulent, and there Is great hostility to any negotiations whatever, and the government were reluctantly obliged to reject the proposals. On the German side •the negotiation was conducted in entire good faith, but never with much hope of a substan tial result. - ~ - - PARIS During Favre’s visit to Ferrieres no mili tary delay occurred. Everything proceeds as before. -It is believed at Prussian headquarters that nothing would have been gained bad an armis tice been accepted ; Bince, until Paris is taken, there is little cope that any government or as sembly would accept the terms of peace how definitelyresolvedon by Germany. Growing- English Feeling;' for " France. London; Sept. 25. —The excitement caused in England by the determined refusal of the Prussian goverhmentto grant peace to France, except on terms humiliating and fatal to the new-born republic, is growing daily and threatens to taken shape most embarrassing to Mr. Gladstone’s cabinet. Another Democratic Demonstration. To-day a third grand Democratic meeting was held in the open air in Hyde Park. A huge procession was formed in Trafalgar Square, which got into motion about 3 o’clock. It stretched in an unbroken line, with flags and bauds of music, from Trafalgar Square through Cockspur street to Waterloo Place, and thence by Picadilly to the gates of Hyde Park, at Apsley House. The bulk of the enormo.us manifestation was made up of organized societies of the lower and middle classes, most respectable in their appearance. No English Flags Carried. - An ominous and striking-feature of this ex traordinary demonstration was the entire ab sence of the English flag from the procession. I saw not one carried along the entire line, but hundreds of white banners with the liberty cap, and the words “ The Republic,” in got. den letters, and many American arid French' standards. In the park the assemblage num bered many, -many thousands'. Six sepa rate stands were erected, over each of" which floated the white flag and the stare-and-stripes twined with the tr£ coler. At one of . them the Italian standard" also was raised. Around each stand a separate meeting was held, and the most enthusiastic speeches wrire made, bitterly denouncing, in the language of ofae orator, “"the sham of the Britisi/monarchy which was chloroforming theßritish, nation.” ’ Tbe Feeling Manifested against the present course of Prussia was in tense. The police were out in considerable numbers, but there was little aisorder and no rioting. The upper classes are now for the most part out of town, and the park was consequently filled with masses of people who Sympathized with the manifestation. But though the disposition of the higher orders is to hold aloof from these displays, as it is of the press systematically to betittle them, it is not to be denied that a considerable and increasing section of the educated class are rapidly drift ing towards a similar feeling. When the pro cession moved out of Trafalgar Square a knot of gentlemen came out of the Union Club,and, standing on the pavement, cheered for France and tbe United States. At the windows of the St. James on Picca dilly similar manifestations were made. It is becoming clear that trouble is~ anticipated on this question, and from these increasing and openly republican organizations at the assem blage of Parliament If the United States were now represented here by a Minister of Ameri can sympathies, of force and of influence, there can be no doubt thatja popular feeling might he easily excited here which would compel justiceto the claims of America. As it is, all the official weight of the United States in London is thrown against the popu lar cause. Mr.’ Motley talks freely and care lessly in deprecation of the course of Mr. Washbuxne, and slightingly of the republic in France. An Oxford Positivist on tbe War. The following placard .was extensively posted on the walls of London during the manifestation to-day. It is signed by. the leader of the English Positivists,, a first-class at Oxford, a former master of Rugby, and one of the ablest writers of the Westminster Itc vieK : ■■ ■. '■■■ , ; ■. i .670,000 Englishmen,especially Englishmen of the Working Classes: France,as the ag gressor in this horrible civil war, for civil war it is, incurred just blame. Her government deserves most blame, but the French nation must take its share. But the attitude of the two parties is chang ing ; baa, in fact, already changed. The mili tary spirit fostered in Germany beyond all due bounds, has thrown the nation bn the 'French' army, and in its triumph the German nation is throwing aside all its original moderation, and avowing plans of annexation and inter ference with the just independence of France. Germany is now the aggressor, France on the defensive'. Germany is even rejecting the claims of the other States of Europe to have a voice in her settlement. While Louis Napoleon was officially the ruler of France bur government could not easily interfere, for he wasr the aggressor; though even this obstacle must, under certain . circumstances, have been sot aside. But he has ceased to rule. Should not England then actively interfere in the behalf of France, if au energetic diplomatic remonstrance is not listened to?. Should she not require of Ger many the withdrawal of the German nation from the Freneji soil, on the receipt of a fair indemnity in money, and under the guarantee that, if France assumed the offensive,England would join. Germany to resist her ? _ * These terms, accepted by France and re fused by Germany, we should support them by arms. No selfish abstinence from action, but war in union with France—the English and French armies side by side, as: in the days of Cromwell or in the Crimea—to drive, hack the German ihrotid; such is the' policy I appeal to yotr to adopt.

Do tbe People ft ish Annexation to Pros- The Boston Traveler says: Alsace and Lorraine,, notwithstanding all the German cant about their German charac ter, are of the most thoroughly French of the various parts of France. They are as much of the great country to which they belong in every sense,—and which belongs.to them,— as are Brittany and Burgundy, Guieririe and Normandy. Had the question been submitted to them before the war, they would voted to a man against transference to Ger many. They would sooner have been trans-' ferred to Russia than to Germany. Like all borderers, they hate their neighbors. What has happened in the last two months is well calculated alike to intensify and to jus tify their hatred. The hand, of Germany has been.laid heavily upon Alsace and Lorraine, —and her hoofs have been stamped all over their soil. Was ever more cruel and more useless warfare waged than "that- which has been carried on against the fair city of Straay bourg? That city has been pounded to pieces by the .very people to whom it Is propoHEtlto transfer it! One hardly knows which to ad mire most, Buch a proof of. Germany’s love of Alsace in general and Strasbourg in par ticular, or the mode taken to attach tho people »of ' Strasbourg to their 1 pro posed future eountrymenr:..There was not the. slightest necessity for proceeding against Stras bourg. There were only eighteen thousand French troops in the city, arid they might have been watched by a slightly superior force; but the Gerinans.as if resolved to prove they are the same barbarians that they always have been in war, began regular siege operar tions in an irregular manner, destroying the city in order to compel the surrender of the' fortifications. They Spared the French sol diers, and poured their bombs arid bails upon the houses of a people whom they call Ger man l Such-brutality -eannot make a very far yorable impression on- Strasbourg f and a vote in Alsace and Lorraine would be dead against them. ROBBERY OF THE K ORTH UMBER. LAND BANK Fifteen Thousand Dollars lu Bonds Stolen. The ‘Williamsport Bulletin says: We are informed by a gentleman who was stopping in Northumberland, on Thursday uight last, that the First National Bank of that place was entered by burglars, and froin twelve to fifteen thousand dollars in coupon bonds carried off. It occurred in this wise: About haft-past eight o’clock in the evening, as the watchman, a one-armed man, entered the building, he was roughly seized by four men, who were concealed inside, gagged, his band tied and fastened to a chair, when, after all. was quiet, they went to work. They were armed with a sledge and commenced operations on the brick vault surrounding the safe. After working for some time the arch of the vault suddenly gave way, precipitating a great mass of bricks and mortar on the safe, completely burying it beneath the ruins. Finding that the labor to remove this mass of rubbish would consume more time than they had to spare, they-abau-- doned the idea of getting into the safe, and commenced looking in other places for money and valuables. They succeeded in finding bonds, mostly belonging to private parties, amounting, as near as could be ascertained, to between twelve and fifteen thousand dollars,, which they carried off. Our informant, who visited the banking house on Friday morning, says that the room presented a complete mass of ruins. The watchman was found sitting in the chair tied, where the burglars placed him, gagged and unable to move. He says that there were four of them, and tlmt they threatened him with his life if he attempted to make any noise. It is supposed that they gained access to the building early in the evening, through aback window, anti laid in wait for the watchman, when, on his appearance, he was seized, as described above, and after all was quiet went to work. It is supposed that they left on the down train which passes the place about two o’clock in the morning. There is great excitement in Northumber land over the robbery. THE COURTS.

The Portsmouth correspondence of', the* London Standard says: Prom the statements of ‘ the few who bare been saved, itappears that about midhight, on the Cth inst., the ship was in company with the .Channel fleet, about forty.miles-off Cape' Fimsterre, cruising under double-reefed fotO' and maintopsails, and foretopmost. staysail*- and mainsail, and the foresail hauled up, there - -being - -at - the- time a~~ very ~ Strong; breeze and. a- heavy sea. The' starboard watch had 1 been- called* at 12 o’clock, and were being, mustered; wheat ' a squall struck the ship : on the port side: causing her to give a heavy lurch to starboard;. As she did not right herself, Captain Bur goyne, who wan on. the Bridge, gave the order .to,iowerthe..foilstqnsail,but,.in-consaqueiQbe' of the yards ship at the time being on the port tack, it did-not come down.. Orders were promptly given to let go the lee braces and man the topsail down banl,. but by this time the ship-had been again struck by a heavy sea, ana she was com pletely hove on to her beam-ends, with the water pouring down the funnel, and sho then turned bottom upward, and gradually sank stern first. From the time the ship-was struck to her going down only from five to ten min-*- utes elapsed. The number on hoard' at', the time was about 620. When the Captain was firet lost sight of it was thought- that- she. had 1 missed the fleet, which is not an uncommon, occurrence on a dark night,.and when it is- Wowing hard, and no one imagined she had gone down. But; alas! the sad fact soon be- j came apparent, wheii first was picked np a boat, then a spar, and subsequently one of the men, who had lashed, himself to- a grating, but didnotrSucceed in saving"his life.

If not sensational, Chioago is nothing. --The aspiring genius of its citizens quails at no possibilities, however critical, and is daunted by no danger, however., imminent. It,has been reserved for Chicago, furthermorej to il lustrate how thoroughly the father of evil may be depended npon to take 'care of his own. One Farrell, a burglar by occupation ahd an adventrous fellow in disposition,found himself i n pursuit ofhis avocation, ip the thirdstory of. the residence ora gentleman of Chicago.. Di scovered in the act of “sloshing around” by an inmate of the house, ho took refuge iti aiclosefc -Hard-pressed by the inmate, he-leaped from • the closet window to the ground, below, a dis tance of fifty feet. But remarkable as was the desperation that prompted- ■ this fearful leap, the result was still more extraor dinary. For when the astonished-inmate ofthe house looKed from the window expecting to see the mangled remains of the burglar,, .he saw merely a pair of 12 Brogans, to which was attached a pair of legs,-the brogans,' turned' sole upward, and the 'legs worlutig : convul sively. Even while thus gaping ih astonish ment at the sight that met his eye,the* working legs succeeded in working the rest ofthe body loose from the aperture into which it was concealed, viz., the cellar-door. "When; that feat was successfully accomplished, and, the brogans commenced to scud away . dow.u an alley, the inmate of the house recovered'frdin his astonishment and gave the alarm. Farrell was arrested, and bn examination it was found that in failing from the window he had struck his head against.the ceilar-door and had burst a hole in the stout inch planks large enough, to admit bis-shoulders. r FACTS ASH FANCIES, —Soup herb diet—vegetable soup.— Ex> - The highest circles”—Saturn’s rings..
