DISASTER IN THE COAL REGIONS.
•
the Wadesville Shull—One
El-- Three Hen Seriously In.
le Journal of yesterday says
excitement was created in St.
Clair and vicinity by the blowing of the
Wadesville Shaft whistle, between. ten and
eleven o'clock yesterday. The streets were
crowded with men, women anti children, all
running in the direction of Wadesville, until
the hill road was literally covered with human
beings. - The cry being raised " the breaker is
burning !" the Avondale disaster fills the
minds of everyone. .The women especially
were conspicuous—some with children in
their arms, others with disheveled hair, and
attired in styles so much diversified that they
•
beggar des • on, all running at the top - of
their spec to r As jaitie shaft, where many of
them hat 'those ost dear earning for them
the price f. 3 Ty bread. But before the mass
had rear ed e shaft, persons were met to
report the cans . the alarm.
It appears that le keg of powder was sent
down the shaft in the morning for some
miners, which they had neglected to take out
of the wagon, and the coal was loaded on It%
and sent up to the breaker. When dumped,
the schute being empty, the keg of powder
-rushed into the rollers and File friction caus
ing a spark to ignite the powder, a loud ex
one boy, besides bursting the hopper, the fly
ing fragments of which injured some other
boys. Shortly after reaching home the boy
died, and it is found that two of the men are
seriously injured. The names of the men are
Ferguson, Lacy and Swikley, and the boy,
Tillman. Nothing very serious happened.the
breaker, the hose and :water being ,handy, the
fire was soon extinguished. • Very- little time
will be lost in repairing•_the.damage—

•THE BESIEGED CITY.
Affairs In Paris.
LONDON, Oct. sth.—Your special correspon
dent at the German headquarters, his siteces
sor having arrited at Versailles.- •has reached
Tounifor a new field of duty. He telegraphs
to-day from Rouen, by way of Boulogne, that
everything Paris was perfectly quiet on the ,
3d. It is utly untrue that there have ever
l i r
been any • i bances of etce in that city,
such as see i c=rave beelffr m time to time re
ported. Nothing was ver heard of
them at Versailles, d there were
DO , intlicatioes of.. them -in the.
cit. The police 'ditty of the Friinah capital
is now done by the armed Citizens; and both
by the record of the Prefecture-and by Ahi
nuanimeus voice of foreigners•resident in the
city there has never been a period within the
last live years when crimes of any sort were
so few as since the -closing in of the invest
tient. The number of foreigners remaining
within the city is much linter than wouldhave
been supposel probable. A number ftf Eng
lish and • American gentlemen' are - 'residing
there, as Mks , - say, :'i to see the greatsiege out.
Among these are Mr. Henry Labouchere,
formerly a member of Parliament and owner
l Of the London Daily News ; Mr. Harry Stone;
the American banker, who says the only
'ir'eally frightened man he has seen in Paris is
his own concierge; Mr. Eustis, of Louisiana;
.liir. Lep Childe.. of Maryland,
.and others.
:Peepleiclituiantfdrive.about•las', - i - fitlie-''
Hans were in Berlin instead of: at bt. Denis.
The general aspect of the city is graver than
usual, but nothing can lead one to sus
pect that there is the least probability
of its surrendering without - a tilimen
'dons struggle, for which there is no lack
either of men, of means, or of resolittion.4m
agine the resources of a kingdom of/ten mil
lions of souls concentrated in the hands of an
.army five hundred thousand strong, for the
defence of an area thirty miles in circumfer
ence,. and you will have the best working no
tion of Paris as it is to-day. There was a dif
ference between Trochu and Roche
fort on the one side, and ! Jule.; Fa
vre on the other, about the ' organiza
tion of tLe war. Jules If avre wished to sh e-
Mit the whole queStion whether the war should
• be continued to a popular vote.. General
Trochu ruaintained,and Itocliefertagreed with
him, that to do this would be to expose the
country to misconstruction abroad and to,raise
unnecessary excitements at home. Th - ey .
maintained that the presence of hostile armies
on French soil Was - itself a vote of the people
for . -war, that no Frenchman could
have two opinions as to the ,duty •of
expelling 'those • armies, -- and ... that it
.would be worse than trivial to ask a question
to which there. could be but one answer.
• Jules Favre finalgy adquiesced in this viers , of
the case, and ail classes of 'the population are
now heartily in, one in support of the goVern
ment-as it is. Even the most stubborn legiti
mists of the-Faubourg St. Germain-are voluts:
teeri lig : their wives and daughters attend the
hospitals.' Preparations for electing the trietu-_
hers of the National Assembly are going on
all over the country, and -.lave been nearly
completed in all the departments.—S: Y. Woi•ld .
All France for4nr. d
At Tours the reports front: all quarters of
the country are such as remind an American
of the great Northern uprising in One
spirit seems to unite the Catholics of La Yen
deciand the Protestants of the Cevennes;
ismes and Nantes are striking hands with
each other and.with'' the great - - cities of Cen
tral, Southern and Western - Prance for the de--
fence of:their - common country. The official
report from the army of Lyoii.s places its
strength on the first of October at 100,000
men, fully armed and equipped. The

tween Tours and Bourges, is reported
at the same date of the force of 150,000 men.
There are many regulars incorporated in both
armies, but the bulk of both and the best
troops upon whom the officers rely most con
fidently are the new men. The universal
testimony of experienced officers is that the
demoralization of the French Armies through
their Mexican and African campaigns had
reached an extreme p-Jint, and that the war is
likely to reorganize the whole French military
system as thoroughly as the Prussian system
was reorganized after the annihilation of the
Prussian monarchy at Jena and Auerstadt.
English Export of Arms to France.
LONDON, Oct. 3.—The expert of arms and
munitions of war from England to France has
greatly increased within the last fortnight. The
orders received during the past four days are
of such magnitude that it is impossible to exe
cute them all. They are for arms of every de
scription ; for powder, for cartridges and caps.
Enormous quantities are daily sent forward,
and millions of pounds of powder have bben
shipPed from English ports for the Frenchports
lqi.the Atlantic and theFlitediterranean within
the past ten days. Many French vessels are
e re - trilkiligr:iti%. eh - Mel:gores. The publication
of the Prussian protests against the supply
ing of France with these articles has aroused
great indignation among the English people,
and is producing an effect diametrically oppo
site to that which was expected. - The Eng
lish governinent has been alarmed ; but the
English government no longer leads English
opinion, and it was a great mistake to imagiue
that it could do so.

Geri:ruin' ftepnbllleao Protest Agatust the
dionenallina` of Alsace and LcTitiatne.
The following is the most -significant part
of the speech for making which Dr. Johann
J. Jacoby was arrested at liiinigsberg: - '
" The principal question which we are to
discuss is, has Prussia or Germany a right to
annex Alsace and Lorraine to itself? We are
told Alsace and Lorraine belonged fornierlY
to - Germany; France- gained possession of
them by • fraud and force. Now, wheh we
have conquered - the French,' it is - no more '
than rightand-proper that we should take back

be led astray by such- fine-sounding words,:
And, even were you to he offered all the riches
of the world, do tnot how down to the idol of
Force. Test these fine-sounding words, and
you will find that they are nothing but a cloak
for the old ,barbarian law of Bight. Alsace
and Lorraine,we are told, were German 'pro
perty,' and must again become German. What!
we ask, Have Alsace and Lorraine, then, no
inhabitants, or are the dwellers in those pro
ivi nces so many senseless things. of which you
can, without any further ado, take possession,
and which ven can push hither - or thither, ust
as you will? Have they, by war, forfeited
their rights? Have they become .slaves,
whose fate the conqueror can
_arbitrarily de
cide? Even - -the most zealous, the most
thoroughgoing advocate of annexation admits
that the Alsatians and Lorrainers
and soul,
~Freneh, and wish to remain so.
'And, everr..nad they as bitterly as passible
offended against us, it would be still contrary
to all 'human rights that we should by force
make thein Germans—that we should against,
their will incorporate them into Prussia
or ally _there German State:. Gentlemen,
there is an, old proverb; which, on - account of
its truth, has become a universally admitted
principle of morality: ' What you would got
like to be done to yourself, do --not to others.'-
How would we—how would our National
Liberals—like a victorious Pole, on the ground
of right, to demand back and annex- - the pro
vinces of Posen and - West Prussia? And yet
the very same reasons could be validly ad
vanced in favor of such a -measure as the ad
vocates of the annexation of Alsace and Lor
raine no bring forward. No, gentlemen ; it
.is our . ditty to oppose such - movements of
national self-seeking. Let us hold
firmly to the dictates of right—as
in private, so let it be in tsnlphc life. Let us
proclaim it as our deep, firm conviction, that
every incorporation oP: foreign territory
against the w:I1 of its inhabitants, is a viola
tion of the rights of a people to decide for
itself and...therefore, as blameable as it Is dan
gerous. linblinded by the intoxicating suc
cess of the moment, let us raise_our protest
against every violence to the inhabitants of
Alsace and Lorraine. He alone who respects
the freedom of others is himself worthy of
freedom."
At the conclusion of this energetic speech;
the meeting passed the following resolution :
" The members of the popular party, ha: —
assembled, express as their conviction that
neither/the declaration of war by Napoleon,
nor the German feats of arms, give the con
queror a right to dispose of the political fate
of the inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine. On
the ground of the right of a nation to decide
for itself, in the interests of freedom and of
peace, we protest against every forcible an
rfexation of French territory."
Marshal Hutment on the Defences of
Parts.
Marshal Marmont, who in 1814 cooperated
with Napolebn in the brilliant series of battles
by which the advance of the Allies on Paris
was sought to be stayed, and who subse
quently surrendered that city, speaks as fol
lows on the defensive works of l'aris in his
remarkable work ou Military Institutions:
Paris has done an immense deal for the
power, the glory, and the fame of France.
But her capital makes her pay dearly for these
advantages, by the weight with which it
crushes her when it falls. Now interests
which affect the entire kingdom and compro
mise its very existence cannot be abandoned
to the tate of two or three battles ;
either the
frontier must be extended, or the dangers to
which it is exposed- by the approach of an
enemy must be diminished; and here was uo
other mode of doing this save by preparing
an impregnable asylum to the French armies,
unfortunate and beaten, who should meet
under its walls.
Whatever may he the consequences of the
most, disastrous campaign; the• scattered rem
nants of the army will always amount to 80,-
00e or 100,000 men, and, supported by regu
larly constructed forts, these 80,000 men would
be unassailable. With the reserves which
Paris contains,,such as artisans of all sorts,
population, riches of all kinds, material of all
description, and with the aid of neighboring
departments, the different servites • of the
army would lie tilled up and the losses re
paired. and in less than a month an army of
:;00,000 men, well equipped, and with reno
vated courage,wthild be able to march against
the enemy. What force would not the enemy
require to resist? If be divide, he will .be
weak everywhere, and easily destroyed; if he
remain together in order to resist and fight,
-L, iciWill.he ? And what; would be:his
fate after the slightest check ?
If, then, the enemy has advanced ay far as
Paris, the best thing he•can do is to take him
self off before the reorganised French army
can go out to meet him and he should hasten
te - carryz-th e. -war n to—the.. provinces and.
within,reach of his resources. Thus the war
be carried back to the frontiers, and all
returning into its natural course, there is no
longer any cause for apprehending a catas
trophe.
The War and Trade. '
The elect of the war on the staple trades in
England was thus described in the circular of;
a leading LondOn firm, issued about a for*
night ago : " The war in Europe, which was
expected to militate disastrously against not
only - thezhemical - but - otherstaple trades; -has
turned out better than was anticipated, espe
cially in regard to the first-named. On the
one hand the demand for America has in
creased through English manufacturers having
a monopoly—ekportations in French and Ger

pended—and the priors of several chemicals
