European War News.
During the week past, the news from
the seat of War has been quite exciting,
though very contradictory. In fact the
operations of the week strongly remind
tm of the week of the " battle of the
Wilderness," during the late war in this
country. There has been a series of con
flicts, and the loss of life has been terri
ble, but though both parties claim vic
tories, the fact that the French have con
stantly retreated, seem to indicate (hat a
lew more such victories would be their
ruin. The great anxiety exhibited by
the French to prepare Paris for a statu
of siege, and the appointment of a mili
tary Governor for that city, would indi
cate that even they feel there is a strong
probability of their army soon being
obliged to fall back for. the protection of
their Capitol. Should the fortunes of
war continue to favor tho 'Prussians for
another week or two, we expect to see
Napoleon a prisoner or a fugitive, and
then no doubt ) othdr nations will come
forward and try to inake peace. As mat
ters now stand, some decisive result must
be accomplished in a very short time, and
(he news of this week will be anxiously
looked for. So far the success of the
German, army lias astonished tho whole
civilized world, and probably no portion
of it has been . more surprised than the
French nation.
American Sympathy.
There is no doubt that a largo majori
ty of the people of this country strongly
sympathise with the German nation anil
wish thoni success in her struggle with
France.
When wc call to mind the record made
by Franco during the war of the Revolu
tion, and the close friendship which for
years existed between that country and
the United States, some persons wonder
why our sympathies and well wishes
should not rather be all in favor of the
French.
Itv the firpt place this is a quarrel
brought about by the Government and
wot by tho people. Wo then call to mind
the very doubtful manner by which Na
poleon arrived at the position be occupies

he took during our struggle with the re
bellion, not only did he extend his sym
pathy to (he rebel cause, but attempted
to establish an Empire itv Mexico at the
lime he thought our hands too full to in
terfere with the tuecess of his plans.
, These, and many other little acts have
entirely obliterated any feeling of grati
tude, we might under other circumstances
have had for that nation. On tho other
hand tho Germans at an early period of
tho war, expressed kindly wishes for the
cuceess of our government, and showed
their belief in our ultimate success by
largely investing in our bonds; and
wlicn peace did crown our efforts, the
Prussian Government offered their cordial
congratulations. n addition to this, we
gratefully remember the liberal manner
in which our German population poured
out blood and treasure in aid of the
Northern, cause. Looking at the? facts
it is not strange that the sympathies of
the pcoplo of this country, should laan
w decidedly toward the Gorman Nation.

Murder in Connecticut.
The State Prison at Wethersfield was,
on Sunday, the scene of another cowardly
unprovoked murder. The excellent war
den of the prison, William Willard, a
man universally respected as a citizen
and officer, was killed by the notorious
convict, jail-bird and burglar, James
Wilson.
It was tho custom of Captain Williard
to make a tour through the wards of the
prison every other Sunday, to talk with
the convicts and listen to their complaints,
lie had nearly completed his rounds yes
terday afternoon, when the convict Wil
son called on the watchman, James Car
ter, who was on the second tier of cells
that ho had something on his slate that
lie wished the Captain to read. The
watchman told the Captain, and the
latter approached Wilson's cell, took up
the slate with the side toward him on
which was written : ' To Mr. Capt. Wil
lard Please read on the other side."
Tho Captain turned the slate over and
commenced to read, when Wilson thrust
through the bars a heavy cane, with a
thin, sharp knife blade stuck firmly in
one end, and stabbed the Captain in the
bowels. The hitter then tried to wrench
the cane away from Wilson while the
knife was yet in his bowels, thus adding
much to tho severity of the wound : but
t he hook of the cane caught in the bars
of Wilson's cell, and he could not pull it
through.
lie then walked to the door which leads
to the keeper's hall, about twenty feet
distant, and as the keeper on duty then
opened it, he said ' Wilson has cut me."
lie then met his sou in the hall, who
helped him to his loom. This occurred
at 2-bQ P. M., and tho keeper Pent to
Hartford immediately for medical aid.
But soon after the dressing of the
wound was completed ho sank and grad
ually become lower until death took place
at 0 P. M. There was little pain and
and death came easily.
Nickel Coins.
An important question has recently ris
en in regard to the copper and nickel
coins. It is fully expressed in the fol
paragraph, which we clip from a Wash
ington telegram to tho New York Times.
" A great many Postmasters have
written here in relation to the disposition
that can be made of copper and nickel
coins received from postage, but which
people do not like to take for change.
Inquiry on this point was made of the
Secretary of the Treasury by the Post
master General; and the Secretary has also
received letters on the subject from owners
of ferryboats and others who come into
possession of these coins in the regular
way of business. A reply from his de
partment says that the nickel cent coins
issued under the act of February 21,
1857, arc not legal tender for any amount
but are exchangable at tho mint of the
United States l'or o and 5 cent nickel
pieces. The one and two cent pieces
authorized by act, of April 22, 1804,
which comprise tho chief portion of the
cent coinage in circulation, are a legal
tender for any payment not exceeding
four cents in amount. The threo cent
nickel pieces are a legal tender i'or sixty
cent:i and the five cent pieces for one
dollar. There is no provision of law au
thorizing the redemption of the one and
two cent pieces, but a circular issued by
tlie Secretary directs the redemption ol
the five cent pieces by the Treasurer and
Assistant Treasurer;!, when presented
in sums of not less than $100. It in evi
dent that Congress must noon tako tome
action on this matter."
Eclipse of the Sun.
The total eclipse of tho sun on the 22d
of December next is to be fully and care
fully observed by American as well
as Europeans savans. Congress placed
over 20,000 at the disposal of Pro
fessor Benjamin Pierce, professor at
Harvard and Kuperintendant of tho Const
Survey, to be used in dol'iaying the ex
pense of parties to be sent abroad to ob
servo the eclipse, and threo expeditious
will probably be sent, one under the care
of Professor Pierce himself, a eccond
under tho command of Professor Winlock
tho director of Harvard observatory, and
a third under the direction of a compe
tent naval officer. The lino of totality
passes through tho southern portions of
Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey
and ilu.sia. The stations to be occupied
by the parties will bo selected so as to
lio within this line.

A Scene of Terror.
An Elko. Mo., paper of a rcccut date
says : A terrible accident occurred at
the court-house night before last, during
the performance of Prof. C. A. Lewis and
troupe. The court-room was filled to
overflowing;, tho greater portion of tho
seated audience were delighted and in
high spirits until near the close, when
the janitor of the court-house essayed to
turn the 'lights down, in order to darken
the room for the exhibition of a tableau.
The u iddle chandelier, containing six
large coal-oil lanips.with their globes and
chimneys, was immediately over the
heads t)f a number of ladies, and was at
tatclte d to a tendan bar upon the ceiling
by a ; spiral screw, of the existence of
whio'i it appears, the janitor was ignorant
though ho knew the chandelier could
easily bo turned around. In thus turn
ing it, as he had frequently done before,
in order to reach all the lamps the whole
thing fell with a crash, the lamps rolling
upon the floor under the feet of the au
dience, Vfo of them bursting and scat
tering their flaming contents over tho
ladies, and a great column of flame shoot
ing up albnost instantly to the ceiling.
The scene which followed beggars de
scription, Dicn women and children rushed
pell mell to the door, some jumping over
the luuis xsrs to tho floor below. Fortu
nately none were killed although several
were badly burned and several children
were injured by being trampled.

CHOLERA ! ! !
Tlie following letter Is from Mr. Woodward, of
St. Louis, to .1. N. Harris, Ksq., of New London,
Conn. Mr. W. Is a gentleman of high respectabil
ity, and daring tlie prevalence of the cholera in
St. Louis, watched the result of tlie application of
tho 1'aln Killer for tills disease, and bis testimony
can be relied upon with the utmost conltdeace :
Hear Sir: You recollect when I saw you in
Janimrv lust, my expressing to von nw most, san
KUine expectations Mint DAVIS' PAIN KILLKIt
would have a tremendous sale In the west this
season, and mv anticipations have been more than
realized, and thetosthnony of thousands who have
lived It has been that they would not be willing to
go to bed at night without it In the house.
On the appearance of the Cholera In this city,
such was the confidence In the l'aln Killer as a
remedy, that many who purchased it remarked to
me that they had no fears or dread of the cholera
as long as they had the Pain Killer by them, and
hundreds took it dally as a preventative, for no
person can have-a derangement of bowels ordl
arrlKcaif they use this medicine. This was the
security and confidence of hundreds acquainted
with it. and when their friends were attacked with
tlie Cholera they would administer the remedy in
large quantities, and in every ca"e when it. has
been taken in any of the llrst stages of the disease,
it has proved successful.
I consider it an infallible remedy. I have not
heard of any Individual in nv fanillv who used
the l'aiu Killer when attacked but speedily recov
ered. The clerk Informed me that he administered it
to persons when cold or In cramps, and it gave im
mediate relief, but slill it should be given quickly,
for when the discharge of "rice water" Ws be
gun, the hope of life has lied. Should this disease
make its appearance among you, as in all proba
bility it will, be not alarmed: you all others there
have the remedy, and 1 am conlldent if the l'aln
Killer is used, not a single death by Cholera will
occur in your city.
