=i=Z=ll=M=E CZCIESM CORRESPONDENCE. ern WILMINGTON ',Erma. liVon'esvendertee of the Philadelphia Evenizut Bulletttla WILMINGTON, Oct. 4.—A• misconstruction of the meaning of my bieroglyphies Ons the part of your compositors led to several slight errors in my last communication, such, for in stance, as making me call the Democratic can didate for Governor " Jim Pruden" instead of "Jilt Ponder," and the anti-Saulsbury Deme +grata the anti-slavery Democrats. This last, I regret to say, , does the gentlemen injustice. The same sort of mistake prevented me from making it clear that it was the P. W. &B. R. R. which is underbidding the W. & R. R. R. for the coal-carrying trade. The pad of Trade held its annual meeting en Monday evening, and the annual report_ of its.aecommodating an w Secretary, G:eo: . W. Stone, as read. Th report details at considerable length the proceedings of the Board during the year, and gives sonic. interesting business statistics compiled from the present census. The report includes not only the city but tbe factories in its vicinity up the Brandy wine. The value of the real estate in the city and suburbs is $22,000,000, and of the personal property in tire city proper, $20,000,000. The manufacturing statistics of the city and suburbs are as follows, the last column showing, of course, the annual production Value sof Articles Capital -Articles Alla a ufact ur ed .

The amount set down as the capital em ploYed in ship-building does not nearly repre sent the capital of the two firms engaged in that business, but only so much of it as they think is employed in that branch of their busi ness, both of them beim ,. b large manufacturers of machineiy,•and one being also extensively - *engaged - in car-building; This last business has, it will be seen, grown wonderfully, and the indications are that it will continue to increase. The 'Jackson & -Sharp Ctibpany .and the Harlan & Hollingsworth Company have both aS much as they can do at it, and the latter company is building extensive addi tions to its car-shop. The report also shows a very .great and rapid increase in the iron business. proper, nearly all the rolling mills and foundries having Increased their capacity. The rolling mills now turn out 10,000 tons of plate and bar iron per year, and use 15,000 -tons of bituminous coal ; 8,000 tons of pig iron, 1,800 - tons of iron ore and 3,000 tons-of scrap iron and blooms. The mills and foundries together use up 23,000 tons of pig iron annually.'_The subject is- an interesting one, and I coud cull largely from the well-fillet pages of the report, but_ the limits of this, lettex, prevent 'any further ex tracts. The report will be' 'printed, and those interested can secure a copy. A most energetic - canvass continues to be Made for the Wilmington and Western Rail road, and the prospects look much. better, and they will probably_ pull through all right, and break ground this year yet. The political situation remains unchanged, and everybody is waiting on the action of the anti-Saulsbury Democrats. Their Kent County convention meets next Thursday, after which it is probable a similar movement will conji mence in Sussex county. The split will not extend to this county, as it is conceded by all sensible pebple that it will go Republican tinder any circumstances. . - The " little election " took place to-day, but at this writing I have not very full returns. 'ate vote was of course quite light, but the Re publicans seem to have displayed more interest than usual. In this city they carried five out of the nine Wards, and elected their candidate for Assessor (the only candidate running throughout thee city) by 27'0 majority. We will do better than this at the general election. By the way, if the Democratic howl that they bare carried Wilmington by over 200 in Sep tember; because one of their candidates had that, is true, then this election shows a gain of over 470 in a month. Of course, it dbes not Elam anything of the kind, but that that elec tion hinged on local issues, and did • not at all fin to the vote in November. This one does for shadow the result, only that the Repub lican majority then will be double what it is 10-day. So far as heard from, this evening, the Republicans have been successful iu the country districts. DALE. The Path of the War Appeal to the World The London News correspondent forwards the following translation of an appeal to all the world, which, issuing:first from the arrondisse ment of kriey, is now circulating among the authorities of the neighboring arrondisse ments, and which is to be forwarded to Xtig land, America.and Germany for publication as soon as the necessary signatures are appended : (Advance copy of an appeal to be published.] To all neutral nations, and to those amung bel ligerent nations who have not suffered hos tile,invasion in the war of 1670:; We, the people of those portions,of . France which are occupied by the German armies, more especially of the Departments Moselle, Aleuse,Meurthe anti Ardennes,call upon yOu for aid. Not for aid to enable us to destroy life,hut foraidlo maintain human life, now and after th6'advent of the peace which all the world 41kires. _Most generous sympathy far the sick and wounded has been manifested by those whom we now address; munificent hands have poured healing.. balms upon the di rect victims of war's dreadful engines; brave hearts have interposed to stay the sweep of the Destroying Angel's scythe ; while yet other miseries, a little farther from view; but wider far in thei eatened extent, have been over looked. The p °plc of,France depegl fog their subsistence on to grains which they ra4e and the cattle wine ..2}' breed. In the sections of country that havc been traversed by the (;erman armies nothing re mains of the provisions • that had been accumulated in time of peace. • Our houses,stables and barns are burned or riddled with cannon shots. The fields or meadows are trample down by the tread of embattledbl)sts. Neither breads nor grass.lata been harvested ,this auttnn.. ,, --our beasts of- burden,- all our beeves, sheep and Swine, have' been taken .from us. • Our laborers are either pressed into thc French army as soldiers, or into the Ger man army as teamsters. , There remains not even seed-corn. We are destitute of strength to prepare the trampled ground foe seed for next.season's harvest; destitute of material to ' soivi destitute, in many places, of ground to sow upon ; as miles upon Miles of territory are by - theTWW.; b,Crieason of the Sacred and terrible seed of human corpses with which they har been sown. Starvation stares us in the face'now;_famine and pestilence are the legacies which war will surely leave t6'lts for the coming winter and spring; thk cry of children begging the father for bread, Which he haS not, is already upon the air; while the tears of . liouseleSs widows and .orphans, 618,999 1,415;373 438,050 . 701,483 510,833,983 515,256,132 upon the open field where these unfortunates camp, prevent the blood-spots from drying. -You, our British': brethren, know the corn-, fort and security of a laud where "every man's house is his castle;" you have for centuries not felt the ravages of invasion; fancy the destruc lion of all your means, of subsistence; and then refuse; if you can, to help—and help quickly—your neighbors who are perishing. You, bur American brethren, must know, the desolation in which we live; yet you have been, qiiickly restored; your country is natu rally'rich. Ours is naturally poor; our re sources bear no comparison with yours; the suffering here will he ineffably greater than It was with you. You, our brethren of the entire human family—not even excepting those of victorious. Germany, who surely, we believe, do not wish our annihilation, we implore you, come, to the rescue. . • [Here the original is sigt.3d, first by "Rollin, Maire of Briey,' and then those of the civil and ecclesiastical authorities of many French vil lages and towns situate between Metz, Nancy, and Sedan.] WILL PARIS BE BOMBARDED ?. A Paris corresporident writes from Paris under date of. September 15 : According to General Delafield the position of Pali§ is a very strong one, and the eastern side might, if occupied in force, successfully re sist very superior nrunbers,- particularly as the besiegers will be subjected to great disad vantages by the perpendicular' intersection of their limp by two canals and tWurivers, favor able to sorties on isolated defichments. The enceinte is divided into nine sections, each garrisoned, by a division of the National Guards, commanded -by-an-admiral or-general... officer, and the Mobiles, withqbe regulars and francs-tireurs, appear to be concentrated in the plain of St. lenis, where they will act under cover of the forts. ' According to strict military rule the besieg ers, in 'addition to the working parties,, should have a number ofT troops—guards of the trenches—equal to at least three-fourths of the garrison—this last being the maximum which can be-spared for sorties. Assuming, then i the gthisbn of Paris, exclusive of the detached forts;-to-reach its alleged strength of 240,000- men, the Prussians must have 180,000 soldiers ready to .repel sorties, which, supposing three, reliefs, gives a total, in addition to the working • Parties in the trenches, troops on picket and more on fatigue duty, of'')-10,000, exclusive of the detachments necessary to guard the mar .and cover, the communications with their base. It true that the composition of the besiegers' - fetus is very different froin that of the he , - sieged ; but even allowing a wide deviation from the strict principles of the science of war, it is not likely that any very distant expedi tions into the provinces will be attempted, or that. ,the communications of the 'besieged will be so thoroughly interrupted as to pre vent either supplies or reinforcements from dribbling into the fortress during the opera tions. In order to avoid the damage anticipated from the splinters of stones in the streets, all of these have been unpaved and arrangements have been made for the erection of barricades at several points, to be used in imitation of Saragossa, if the town walls should be reached and stormed. But the ultimate hope of the Parisians lies in the army said to be concentrating behind the Loire, although no one seems, to know much about it, and, if it is to exercise any direct in fluence on the fate of Paris, it most be ready to march within a fortnight at latest.. • Consider ing its Mission, the best.man in France .ought to command it, for without its able handling Paris will, at the very best, be able'only to offer 1 passive resistance, and must fall within : a given time. This tithe maybe long-and vic tory may ruin the victors, but the blow would be irreparable, physically and morally, to the French nation. 1 still think that Paris will not be turned into another Moscow, that the bombardment of the city proper will not take place, and that the capture of some of the detached forts will be at once followed by a capitulation, proVided al ways that a strong army in the fief does not forde the Germans to raise the siege, and pro vided also that internal dissensions in Paris, or the fear of pi . , vations and Icr ussian barbarities 11' it be taken by nsault, does not induce the citizen soldiers of the garrison to force Trochu —as their fellow countrymen did General de ilame aL,Laon—to ask for terms, even before the capture of any out-work. Evidently the Prussians are somewhat of this way of think ing, for we learn that the six artily corps com posing the beseigina Threes were ordered to en ' camp on the 14th instant, at certain points within supporting distance of each otber,around the circumference of a circle of ten leagues from their objective point. THE BATTLE-FIELD OF JOSHIJ& Gibeon and the Valley of Ajralon The I:ev. Dr. C. S. Robinson, in•the Chris tian Union of this week,•gives an interesting account of a visit to Joshua's battle-field : "On our way up the difficult hill we had fallen into quite a vigorous discussion con cerning one of the historic reminiscences for which T:pper Bethoron is famous. There can be no doubt of its authe i nticity as the locality in which was wrought out that great victory of Israel over the Amorites. This incident, how ever, has its notoriety more from what is , generally termed the miracle.of.,dosbua, when he bade the sttn and mmaeh stand still. We were in Mil view of Gibeou and the valley of Ajalon. We were laboring up the identical steeps down which the foe was driven dis comfited. And if the record is literal, record ing fact and not figure, then we were certain that somewhere in full sight was the exact spot upon which the unseen brakes were ap plied to the wheels of this solar system, bring ing it to a mighty stop for , twenty-four hours: " After a dizzy, bard-working plunge down into a verdured valley, over rocks smooth, worn and very slippery, we fell into• the line of an ancient Roman road, where the path had been originally constructed of heaVy , flagging stones, like cyclopean pavement; the way was intolerably rough, but now and then it was ac tually cut in the living rock,and the steps Made excellent footholds for the horses. There is no use in denying, however, that this forenoon's work put the test to our endurance; the jar of stepping up and down these stone stairs is,after aiwbile, a serious infliction • "Bight before us now lay time little rude vil lage of Gibeon, the modern name of which is El Jib. Leaving-oursless.adyenturous ladies to wind their quiet way around among the beau tiful vineyards and orchards lying in, the plain, their white garments shining in the sun,against the deep green of the olive tfees scattered in the wide meadows, we rode directly up to the pre cipitous hill on the singular summit of which the hamlet now stands. It seemed actually in accessible to an unpracticed eye, but somebody found a zigzag road among the layers of rock and led our way. 1 never believed myself much of a horseman. It has ever been my misfortune to keep going over the head or tail of the animal. But after reaching the top of that - cove-like village -- I -. felt- so proud - in s - my mh\d, that I verily believed I might with proper traihing have been fitted for an ordinary circus. "It afforded no little amusement to us all, when, after those frantic endffirdat last confronted each Wier on the narrow, dirty ridge, to put the serious inquiry why any one of us had atteinpted it—what we went forth for to see? For there was nothing actually at the spot.worth climbing after..

There are—some----intoxleated charieters in most of Dickens's novels; !but "Pickwick" absolutely reeks with alcohol.' Everybody gets drunk. The first club-night. described is an orgie. The famous duel At ,Rochester' arises from a violent . debauch. Mr. Pickwick, his club friends, Mr. Wardle,.. Stiggins, Mr. John Smauker and his fellow-flunkies, the coach-men who. rally -round 'the elder -Mr. Weller—are all represented at various times in a state"ofmore °Hess violent - or'Sttipidititoxi.. cation. Mr. Bob Sawyer,and -Mr. Ben A len are in a chronic state of delirium tremens, and all their associates of the. medical student class get as-drunk as they: The two ghoSt-stories in the-book are both connected witlPinebriety. Sam Weller and his father drink deeply, but are only sav k ed from making themselves ridiculous through the superior hardness of their heads. The Rev., Mr. Stiggins repre sents only so much detestable hypocrisy boat ing about in so- much pineapple-.nnn-and-wa ter. Mr. - Job Trotter is in wrcotititniarstate - cif vinous thirst. As for • Mr. • Pickwick,' there is no end to his bibbing ' • and, when, .he is 'tired while wandering about the city with Sam, he steps into the nearest public house—in the middle of the day—andx orders -a .glass of brandy and water hot. - If an attorney's clerk be wanted, he is fetched from the Magpie and stump. If an affidavit bas to be filed, the document cannot be executed without all the parties to it " liquoring up";" -and if a party of gentlemen sit clown to a "bottle or two" re-.' solve themselves into a "hottle__of six." It is extremely noticeable also that not the slightest disgrace seems to attach to anybody for gettin2 . tipsy. In these days a gentleman who talws too much wine—say at. a Temple "callTparty" or on the Derby day—is more or less ashamed hiniSeif the next morning; but when Mr. Pickwick, becoming intoxicated at a pic-nic, is found in a state of insensibility by Captain Bold Wig and -his garde,ner, and is put into a wheelbarrow and trundldd to the village pound, where be recovers consciottsuess under -the stimulus of rotten eggs and cabbage stumps flung at him by the mob„.h,e is only amicably " chafied " by his friends, and riot the slightest shame appears to be felt by any party to the transaction. ThUS also the mad-cap frolics of Mr. Sawyer and ,Mr. Allen in the post-chaise during their journey frOm Bristol to firming liamfrolics which in our times would call for the interference of the police ; and inspire the writers of sensational - leaders in the penny papers to tremendous outbursts of virtatons in dignation—are lookedrupon in "Pickwick" as thoroughly every-day occurrences ; and equally as a matter of course does the anther take the drunken episodes of the Eatanswill election.

THE WAR. Last night's despatches co.nain the following: Bismarck, in his circular, admits that Favre's representations of what passed at the interview may not have been intentionally wrong, be cause the conversation was Jong, and many things 'were proposed and di:cussed. The question of an armistice is'as only discussed at Ferrieres. and the statement, therefore, that I had refused an armistice at the preceding inn!r views is false. It was agreed at the Ferrieres meeting that an armistice•would be possible if France would give Prussia guarantees against delay' and against destroying the advantages of the position she had earned in the war. These guarantees included the retention of the fortresses on the lines of communication and the banding over of the fartliimtions of Paris pending the negotiations, or -else a command : ing post near the city. It %w ink' be impossible for Prussia ti allow Paris free intercourse with the country, as the city might Bur have received supplies. • Favre refused' these `terms, yet prothised to consult his colleagues I n the goVernmenf at Paris. Tlie programme which he carried back and submitted included an armistice of fifteen or twenty daYs,to permit the me , ,ting of the Con stituent Assembly, the maintainance of the military status before Paris. the continuance of hostilities, and the surrender of Strasbourg, Toni and Bitsche. The refusal of these terms must convince mankind that the French government believed their. acceptance would produce peace, which was not desired Eby them, The arrival of Gen. Bourbaki in England is now just published iu the London papers, ac companied by the statement that his escape from Metz was the result of intrigue on the part of the Prussians. The story is Bour baki wrr, imposed upon by a pretended sum mons from Eugenie, which is believed to be romance. The real object of his visit was to consult as to future movements with a view of holding Bazaine's army in the service of the Empire. A special envoy has been despatched to Wil belfra-Shohe entrusted with a verbal message only. A strong belief prevails that the Empe ror and Bazaine contemplate offering terms to Prussia. If the Prussians connived at the es cape of Bourbaki the object was to promote such result, in view of the difficulty of %eating mill the Provisional Government. A correspondent s ,-writing from Paris, says : " Judging from present indications, I am in clined to think that:tire Prussians will walk f ills° Paris at their \ first serious attack. No works constructed of stone can , stand against Krupp 's cannon at the range at which the be siegers, owing to their recent advances, -can place them." • Details have just been received in Tours 9f a battle near Paris on September:lo. The firing was constant at Villejuif for three hours, and then suddenly ceased. The Prussians were worked at first, but they brought up a large Spree of artillery from Montbere,and the French retreated. They were not pursued, and did not hose many on the retreat. ' Many cars loaded With Prussian - wounded have arrived 'at the village of Massy. It is understood that the garrison of Paris now consists of ;150,000 National Guards, 50,000 regulars of the line, and 200,000 Gardes Mobiles: that these regiments and battalions are drilled incessantly, and that it is confidently believed in the city that the Army of Paris alone will, at no distant date, become then able to assume the offensive with success against the -investing forces. - The Prussian force which recently crossed the Rhine, near Muhlhaus, has arrived at Cha lons. A Prussian detachment, yesterday, was driven out, of .Artemiy. There is evidently a movement on foot with the enemy to attack Tours. The correspondent of the New Y ork,Tites, writing from Rome on September 29, says : "It is reported that there is a division in the Cabinet of Victor Emmanuel about trams- ferring the seat of government to lipme. Oc tober 1$ is fixed for the visit of thd. King to lionie. It is probable that Gen. La Marmora will be appointed temporary Governor of the Xtotuan territory, and that his 'commission will include the power of Making a definite settle ment with the Pope: One thing is certain, the country will sanc tion no terms of settlement that do not involve the death and burial of the temporal power.

From nine o'cloek in the morning until noon, and from one o'clock until six or seven in the evening a hand-organ is groaning in front of in ale vicinity of what we sardonically call . our Private residence.

Here are picea pinsepos 30 feet high, abies menzesii and douglasi 35 feet, hemlocks much finer than those in America.j The grand en trance through the golden gates, opened only on suite occasions, is, bordered on one side by a variegated holly-hedge, with occasional stand ards of Irish yew, and on the other side (being divided by great masses of golden yew - bra set ting of common yew) is a line of golden and Irish yews, backed by a row of pinus ntSbilis; at the end of each grass 'avenue is a superb golden yew 20 feet high and as broad; from this you pass into three distinct. anti seperate gardens, each more extraordinary than the other in size and the figure of the topiary work. Entire cottages cut out of yew ; yew• arbors 20 feet high, having a base 30 feet square with a succession of steps; the top surmounted by two peacocks, 0 feet long and 3 or more feet high, the head and figures closely cut, while the tails, in golden yew, are allowed' to re main unclipped and feathery. One, very extraordinary house in yew, with several gables, is surmounted by two birds, one in a nest, thebther attempting to fly . out, - each larger than the largest eagle. There are also pei fectly green cones of English yewyer,lo feet high, with golden heads (caps of golden yew), 'lase standing in a double base or platform of 'English yew, 25 to 30 feet square, and 12 to 15 inches high, perfectly smooth and.flat, as if Made of slate ; there are also long alleys of smooth turf bordered by alternate Irish and 'golden yews, the latter tied close it •by wires to keep them pyraMidal and surmounted by golden crowns; otheterines of Irish juni pers and, golden cypress. In - ' one of the gar-, dens (each divided from the other by clipped yew-hedges 20 feet high,with occasional arches) are groups or Chinese barrels cut out 'of juni per. It this garden a fine effect is produced by a large'circle, 100 feet in diameter, made of large triangles of alternating golden and green yews, dovetailing into each other, and kept down (( inches high) so as to produce a brilliant parterre. One of the most effective things, however, is the Vandyck Walk:, a cov ered, irregular walk through an arbor 'thick ened at the bottom by bok and close over the head, the light being a.dmittecl by occasional loos holes. The Petato. A curious conversation, the substance of which we borrow from the Cosgo,s,-,took pia;de at a late sitting of the Societe' Oentrale „ d'Agri culture on the laistofy - t)f - tife" potato. Marshal Valliant stated that he had found a 'treatise, dated 1749, cOntaining some very curious par ticulars abont that tuber, and that come iiuently it wad a, mistake to say that Parmen tier had been the first to introduce it into France, since all he had done was to extend its cultivation. M. Poussingault assented, and said that Pafinentier found potatoes in a field on returning , from .the siege of Mayence. On 'his return to France he took great pains to re commeranliiiir propagation as an aliment. M. rtuzard queted the, pastoral of a bishop of the 17th centuty, recommending the cultivation of the potato totlie whole of his diocese. M. Payen acknowledged that Parmentier had no, other merit but that of conqueting the prejudices then ex_ sting cigainst Its adoption_ as human food. Indeed, the article 1 2 07111//0 cue terre in the Grande P,ucyelepedie (1765) says that the potato_is eaten by the peasantry la various' „ . provinces, but that it is a coarse and indices te food. Such was the general beliefthe , ime; and Parmentier_snceeeded in dlstroyir it by a r e& knei. .11.avinkvseehl.' field with potatoes, he had it guardecthy gettd-- ttrmes,giymMoi4,tridk thn"pintitqfp fWecafAng Was a rare and deliCious exotic.
