NEW BLOQMFIELD, TENN'A.
Tuesday, July 2Gr 1870,
The Fbencii Minister, M. Prevost
Paradt'l, who but recently arrived,
committed suioide at Washington, lant
Wednesday, by shooting himself through
tho heart. It is supposed lie was labor
ing under insanity at the time ho com
mitted the deed, lie left letters showing
that the deed was premeditated.
The new tax law is expected to fur
nish the following results: Income, $1-4,
OOU.OOU; Spirits, $52,000,000 Tobacco,
$30,000,000 J Beer, $6,000,000 ; Stumps.
$15,000,000; Gas, $2,000,000. The
new law in respect to the duties on im
ports is to take effect January 1st, 1871 ;
in respect to most international taxes on
income and dividends are retained through
1870 und 1871.
An appkopriation of $50,000 was
made by Congress for the expedition to
tho North Pole. The best use that the
Money could be put to, would be to in
vest it, and let tha-interest go to those
who have already lost their lives fooling
around in that loeality. A contest for
the handling of it was begun at once be
tween Dr. llayes, and (Japt. Hall, two
Artie explorers, and has been decided by
the President placing Capt. Hall, in
-command of the expedition.
The Doctrine of Inkalibility has
Leon adopted, aud the Pope has already
delivered an allocution, promulgating tho
doctrine, and requiring all Catholics to
give it support. He calls upon those
Bishops voting against it, to seek fur
light to show them that they voted in
error, and expects as he says, " that God
will illumine their minds so that they
may' return to the bosom of the father."
It will bo uphill work to bring the intel
ligent portion, of tho Catholics to unani
mously support such a doctrine.
The War in Europe.
So far there has been no actual conflict
between. the contending parties, but both
France and Prussia are massing their
forces, each apparently waiting for the
attack to come from their opponent. ' The
French have, however, seized aud occupi
ed Suarbouclu which is a- Prussian town
of about 12,000 inhabitants, but no oppo
sition .was offered. There have been some
rumors of a fight having occurred, but
these rumors are all contradicted. In
the meantime, Napoleon is busy trying to
furnish a. satisfactory reason for the
oounse he. has taken,, by sending circulars
to 4he other European nations, claiming
that he has appealed to arms only to pre
vent Prussia from destroying tho political
equilibrium of Europe. It is not proba
ble that any nation; will be foolish enough
to believe .that his course has been con
trolled by .any such motive At the pres--ent
time ib is impossible to tell how many
nations may be drawn into the quarrel,
but the leait interference with Belgium
will bring England, to theuid of Prussia,
.and if France is not extremely, careful of
her. movements, Russia will also take part
in. the light, and. of course, would oppose
France.
We aro inclined to think unless a peace,
is patched up within a very short time,
that England and Russia ' will be drawn
into the strifo and if that .should be the
case, Austria could no longer, remain
neutral, but would join her fortunes with
Napoleon. It is poxsible that the war
may .end witk & single battle,' bub much
more probubk that there will, be,- a long
war in which: all the above nations will
take part. In. that ease wo expect to see
the pride of Napoleon crushed, .and the
prospects of his son ever occupying the
French throne entirely destroyed.;
Until some decisive battle has ben
fought it will be impossible to obtain any
rdiubU news of the situation of the
-armies, as all correspondent art kept out
of the lines, and the Governments have
control of the telegraplifl.,
General Gregory is evidently un
qualified for the position he occupies, if
tw pertorms the other duties of his office
with as littlo show of common sense, as
he exhibits in the appoinment of assistants
for tuking the Census To this sub-district
a deputy is sent, who resides miles
away, while from this borough, a man is
appointed to take tho Census in another
locality, and all through) this, and the ad
joining counties, appointments have been
made with the same disregard to con
venience and common sense. Not only is
it inconveuient, but it is a clear violation
of law, "Sec. 4, of tho Act of 1850,
making it obligatory on the assistants to
be residents of the sub-division to which
they are appointed.
It therefore seems that four-fifths of all
the deputy-marshals in this county are
appointed contrary to law.
The Gor.D Premium has already com
menced to fall, as we predicted last week
that it would do, after people began to re
cover from the first excitement. Should
the war continue any length of time, we
expect to see the premium at a lower
point than any yet reached since 1802.
The closing price for gold last week was
118. Speculators may succeed in get
ting up another excitement when the
news comes of an actual conflict between
the two armies, but if they do, wc believe
the rise will be temporary and the reac
tion will carry it back to a still lower
figure than it is at present.
Effects Of Tho War On Farm Products.
Tho War in Europe, especially if it be
prolonged beyond a few months or even
weeks, will result to the profit of the
agricultural community of this country.
The drouth in Franco has reduced the
crops of the present year to about one
half of the ordinary yield, and the waste
of war is proverbial, but in nothing, more
than in the products of the soil. That
which is eaten by soldier and beast is
insignificant by comparison with that
which armies crush down and destroy.
A march of a vast army is more destruc
tive in material to a country than a bat
tle. Nations at war have no time to til!
the ground, 'flic sword usurps the plow
share, and France and Prussia must
look abroad to have their markets sup
plied with cereals. Here wo have thrui
in plenty, and we will be very glad to
exchange them for our bonds, of which
Germany and Franco have plenty. The
crops of this year in all sections of the
country have been bounteous, and the
most prosperous men of the coming win
ter will be tho farmers. We have no
doubt that the grain speculators aro al
ready scattering themselves over tho West
and South, but the fanners should not be
in too great haste to part with their har
vests. This season, certainly, they can
loso nothing by waiting a little longer.
The next ten days will probably decide
whether or not there is to be an extraor
dinary demand for our agricultural pro
ductions. 1 Desperate Resistance.
A young man named Thomaa Gallagher
a conductor on a coal train on the Lehigh
and Susquehanna Railroad, was arrested
this morning at the Lehigh and Susqe
hanna depot at Nanticoke Junction, for
the alleged larceuy of a watch. He
made a desperate resistance, and attemp
ted to get on the passenger train as it
was leaving the depot, lie succeeded in
getting on, but so did the officer. Gal
lagher ran through the car and leaped
from the forward platform, the officer
inclose pursuit. He caught the rear end
of the train and knocked tho officer over
as he attempted to detain him. Ho was
however, caught by a confederate of the
officer, who, it seems, was on tho train.
He was then safely conveyed to the
county prison at Wilkcsbarre.

Swallowed up In a Quick Sand.
A correspondent of the Kansas Jniir
nalsays: This uftcruoon the citizens of
Silver Lake were shoeked by tho inteli
gence that a man., by the name of Price
Roberts, was partiully buried in a well
out on Big Soldier. In company with Dr.
Ward and others of this place, L repaired
to the scene of disaster. The circum
stances are as follows :
Mr Randall engaged Mr. Roberts to
dig him a well. When he had it sunk
to tho depth of twenty-five or thirty feet
he commenced curbing with rather frail
material, using grape vines, secured by
boards. When at the depth of forty feet
having dug five feet below his curbing,
he was urged by Mr. Randall aud his
friends to come out ; but, having struck
water, he was anxious to secure the
prize. Shortly afterward Mr. Randall's
ears were startled by the cry for help.
Seizing the windlass, they dragged him
about fifteen 1'cet, when 'the treacherous
curbing gave way, forcing him to one
side and under the bank, breaking his
hold and entangling his legs in tho cur
bing Ruricd up to his chin, and with the
fearful prospect of another slide every
moment, Mr. Randall, with heroic forti
tude, deceuded tho well and commenced
digging him out. Death was around him
and above him on all sides. Yet ho
worked until he had got the hind away
to his waist. Weak and exhausted, he
was pulled out. lie mounted his horse
and rode after help. When we reached
the spot wc found Mr. Roberts still alive
und srivins: directions to those above how to
proceed. We constructed a curbing
about twelve feet long, und let it down,
but owing to tho curbing below we could
not get it to the bottom within three feet.
Moments were eternities with tho poor
fellow.
The first to descend the curbing was a
young man by the name of Johnston,
who pulled the Fand away from his facr
came up, and Mr. Randall went down
with a hoe.
This noble youth worked until, faint
injr and exhausted, he was palled up
and placed on a. bed and restoratives
given him. An experienced well digger
was the next to go, down. He worked
faithfully, but gave up all hope of get
ting him out. The sun hadset,aod deep
down into the darkness of that "chamber
of death" Mr. Roberts still continued to
give directions. Dr. Ward went down
with a lantern. A bottomless box was
lowered which the Dr. placed over his
head to protect him from the inroads of
tho quicksand. We were fulfilling other
orders of the Doctor when he exclaimed,
"lie is gone!" Another slide complstely
covered him, and almost fastened, the
Doctor in. Every effort was put forth to
save him, but in vain.
Robberies in Altoona. The Altoona
Daily Sun, of tho l!)th Inst., says :
"Our city is undoubtedly infested by a
gang of experienced burglars, who carry
on their nefarious business in the most sys
tematic and successful manner, and who
have no trace wherby they can be discov
ered. Night before last, anothor attempt was.
made to enter tho residence of Sirs. Caro
line Huff, on Eleventh avenue, probably by
tho saino person who succeeded in carrying
off a portion of her property but a few
weeks; before. His movements woro observ
ed by four or five persons, who made an
nttcm pt to capture him, but, like the Irish
man's Ilea, when they thought they had
him ho " wasn't there."
Last night, or early this morning, tho
residence of the Rov. Mr. Monroe, (pastor
of the Second M. E. Church.) corner of
ixth avenue and Twelfth street, was suc
cessfully entered by one or more of these
chevaliers d" indutlria who obtained ingress
to tho building by climbing over a wooden
Bhed and entering an open window. Onco
inside, tho thioves evidently took their
time, and made a thorough search of the
premisos, securing two gold watches and
Mr. Monroo's pocket-book, which contained
a sum money and a check payable to order.
One of tticm belonging to Mrs. Monroe,
was highly prized, having been presented to
her by some frionds. The otlier the prop
erty of Mr. Monroe, was also a present.
The pocket-book and check were found
this morning. Mr. Monroe has been awake
a groat part of. the time for tho past few
nights, waiting upon a sick child, and sup
poses that when , he fell, asleep last night he
was so exhausted as not to hear, the noise,,
if any had been ruado. .
