The Cenuus reports prove I'luladelpliia
lo be one of the largest manufacturing
cities iu tho. United States. The growth
cf the city in till brunches of industry tor
ten years past,, exceeds thut of auy other
city in the country.
A Neutrality Proclamation has
fceen issued by the President, setting fortli
what acts are i'or.biddeu to persons in this
country, during the present European
war, and warning all porsons what the
penalties of a violation of tho neutrality
laws are.
The Troubles in North Carolina arc
now in a fair way to bu settled in court.
Nearly all the citizens imprisoned by the
orders of Col. Kirk have been released.
Legal proceeding have becu commenced
against Kirk by those ho had. deprived
Cf liberty, and writs have been, issued
against him.. He. will now havo a chance
to explain hi? actions and charges,, and
perhaps tho truth, will bo arrived at.
Tho statements which have been made
ty both parties are so clouded by party
misrepresentation and ill feeling that it
bus been difficult to get a fair statement.
waiTnews..
During tho past week, tho reports of
the operations ot tho I'rench and t rus
sian armies, have been more conflicting
and contradictory than usual. Early in
tho week dispatches announced with
treat positiveness that the invading army
had been obliged to turn back from its
inacrh ou Paris, in order to protect the
lino of communication with its reserves,
Later aocounts flatly contradict this asser-
tion, and state that tho onward mar.oh
not only continues, but that there is
6trong probability that another week, will
End tho Prussian, army under tho walls
01 tho J'reueli capital, Iho J'renoh
armies under liassaino nnd MacMahon,
have not boon able to join their, forces.
Saturday's dispatches assert that Uazaine
Li besieged ut iMelz, with do chance for
escape. 1 hero is no doubt that a large
proportion of tho stuff published in the
daily papers as " Foreign Despatches," is
written in iNew York: it is the only way
to reasonably account for. bo many con
tradictory statements, which all bear the
game date. It this is not the caso, and
tho " Associated Press" pay the full price
per word for all those " despatches tliev
are iietting. most terribly swindled. Hut
by publishing glowing accounts of bat
tles one day it makes a demand for pa
pers, and the contradicton sure to. toUow,
creates- another, demand.
J&rji? Ktporiroents with torpedoes wcro
recent iy made at lircst. Oao of them
was to test the action of ono of those mib-
marino monsters on a nautical " screw,1
which was placed in position for. tho
purpose of the experiment. Tho old ves
sel was moored over a torpedo containing
about OUU pounds ot powder, lying at n
depth of 40 foot (French), say, 50 Eng
lish feet. When tho explosion took.placo
the oondcmnqtl craft was first of ull near
ly hltod out ot tho soa, aim then a power
ful jet of watur pierced it as if an enor
mous projcctilo had possod through keel
and decks, and rose to a height of sonic
CO feet. Jut for the empty casks with
whieh tho ship was laden it would im
mediately have gone to the bottom. All
the danger, however, in tho c$ plosion of
the torpedo is not represented by this
mass of water, whioh destroys as it rises
and inundatcu as it falls. A no less ter
riWo effect is produced by tho powder,
which in searching an issuo; escapes
from tho water in, sharp blades which
nothing can resist. Beams measuring
iore than six square feet have bee;i cut
through as with a saw. Gunpowder is
'ud.to auswer better for torpedoes than
picrato of potassium, uitro glycerine, or
gen-ootton,.
NAPOLEON III.
At the present time, tho following con
densed history of tho French Empcrer
will, wo think, bo acceptable to our rcad-
crs.
Louis Napoleon's full namo is- Charles
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte lie Was
born in Paris, in the placo of tho Tuili-
eries, April 20, 1X08, and it over 62
years of ago. IIo is tho third son of
l.oui.i Napoleon, brother ot the urst Pjin-
poror Napoleon. His mother was tho cx
Queen Jlortenso. Louis Napoleon re
ceived his early education in the castle of
Aremsbirg, on the shores ot Lake Con
stance, lie displayed a passion lor his
tory and the exact sciences, was fond of
athletic sportes, and in Switzerland he
developed an aytitudo for military strat
egy. He served for somo time as a volun
teer in the military camp at Thun. In
18:0 be took" part in tho insurrection in
the Pontifieial States with his brother :
the latter died nt Podi, and Louis was
dangerously ill at Ancona, and only saved
by tho devoted nursing ot his mother.
lie lied from Ancona, on the approach ot
the Austrians, to France; was expelled
from France by Louis Phillippo, went to
England and thence returned to Switzer
land.
In 1831 the Crown of Poland and the
command of the Polish legions were offcr-
d him. Tho death in 1832, of the
Duke of Reichstadt, the only son of Na
poleon 1, opened the future to Ins ambi
tious hopes; from that time his whole
life, speculative and practical, was devo
ted to the realization of what now be
came his " fixed idea" thut ho was to
become Hovcreirn of France. In 18.!G
he attempted a iovp d'etat, nt Strasbourg
a-'anist Louis Philiipnc, and failed : was
taken prisoner to Paris, and exiled to
America. He shortly returncu 10 swii
zerland, on account of the illness of his
mother, who died October 2, 1837.
lie went thence to London ; in 1S39 to
Scotland ; in 1840 he made auothev at
tempt nt tho throne of r ranee, tailed,
was captured, brought to trial, and con
demned to perpetual imprisonment in
tho fortress of' Hm. Here he did much
literary work, and finally escaped May
24, 1846. by the help of )r. Conneau, in
the disguise of a workman, and gained the
Belgian frontier, whence ho returned to
England.
Tho revolution of February, 1848,
caused him to return to France ; he pro
fessed to bo devoted to tho view of the
Provisional Government. Ho was, how
ever, by tho latter requested to leave tho
country, and promised to do so ; hut being
elected Deputy for Paris and three other
departments, he took his seat in the Con
stitutional ' Assembly Juno 13, 1848.
After a stormy de'nalo ho resigned his
seat on tho Kith of Juno and left Franco.
He was culled to Franco in September,
1848, by a quintuplo election, and again
appeared in the Assembly, the avowed
candidate for the Presidency, he was elec
ted" by a vote of 2.5(52.1151 out of 7,500,
000 votes. December 20 ho took the
oath of allegiance to the Republic.
In 1850 his enemies, who believed him
dcvi ted to his own interests rather than
to those of the Republic, manifested a
strong opposition to bis policy. An
anarchic condition' of things continued
until ho put a ptop thereto by the coup
d'rtnt of December 2, 1851. Under tho
pressure of his power, following the coup
iVrtnt, ho was elected President of the
Republic, December 20 and 21, for ten
years, and invested with all tho powers
he demanded by more than seven million
suffrage.
A year afterward-' ho assumed' tho title
and prerogatives of Emperor, thus attain
ing tho goal of his early ambition. In
1853 ho married Eugenio Mario, Coun
tess of Montijo, u Spanish lady, of great
beauty, by whom ho has one child, the
Prinoo Imperial, born 31arcli 1.1), 1800.

Terrible Fires in Canada.
A letter from Ottawa, Canada, dated
August 18th' giving an account of the
fires that had devastated the country says,
the fires that have raged in tho bush dur
ing tho past three weeks approached the
settlements in- tho vicinity of this city last
night, almost wholly destroying them,
driving tho inhabitants from their homes
and in the majority of cases almost with
out clothing". Several lives were repor
ted to have been lost, and about 120
persons missing; they are probably hiding
In tho creeks and rivers. About 30
persons arrived in this city to-day,burncd
and otherwise personally injured. Fires
are in some spots to the extent of forty or
fifty miles by twelve or fifteen wide, run
ning west and east, parallel to this city,
mostly on the other or north side of the
river.
Hundreds escaped during the night by
running to the river and standing up to
their necks iu the water, occasionally wet
ting their heads. Here and there were
awful scenes. Scores of horses and cat
tle are described as having been driven
mad by the smoke cinders and heat, and
pluiiged into tho flames. The list of
farmers totally ruined, so far as is ascer
tained, comprise some eighteen or twenty
of the most wealthy in tho district. The
Packcnhani stage driver could not see the
road on account of the smoke. ' lie drove
ahead for tho sand hills, but before he
could get thoro a fire broke out half a
mile ahead, but luckily turned in anoth
er direction off the ror.d.
Stittsvillo is almost wholly destroyed.
Mr. Grant, a farmer there, being burned
alive. Near thnt placo, also, Fredrick
Richardson ar.d Mrs. Harton are known
to have been killed. There are also oth
er deaths.
The important village of Buckingham
is said to be wholly destroyed. A score
of tither villages and settlements further
back are reported to bo almost burned to
cinder, but the details arc not obtainable.
A Man Shoots himself in Church.
Whilo the congregation of St. Paul's
Chapel, Vesey street and Broadway, N.
Y., were engaged in prayer at tho even
ing service on Sunday, the assemblage
was suddenly startled by a pistol shot in
tho gallery There was at once tho utmost
consternation and confusion, heightened
by the fact that cries were heard of a
man having been shot. '
When orders was restored it was found
that a man seated in the gallory had sud
denly drawn a pistol and pointing at his
breast, fired it and fell to the floor, lie
gave his name as Edward Marqueny, a
native of Germany, aged 59 years, and
living at No. 50 Rose street. Having
been removed to the office of Dr. Swan,
it was found that no wound had been
inflicted with anything more deadly than
fine shot. He said that he hail lost his
wife, which preyed upon his mind, and
on this followed loss of employment and
destitution-. He had, under these cir
cumstances, applied to some of tho offi
cers of the ahurch for aid, and failing to
receive it he determined to kill himself
in the presence of tho congregation.

CHOLERA ! ! !
The following lettor Is from Mr. Woodward, of-
St. Louis, to J. N. Harris, Esq., or New London,
Conn. Mi'. W. Is a gentleman of high respectabil
ity, and during the prevalence' of the cholera in
St. Louis, watched the result of the application of
the Pain Killer for tills disease, and his testimony
can be relied upon with the utmost conlldcnce
Dkah Siu: You recollect when I saw you In
January last, my expressing to yMi my most win
gtline expectations that DAVIS' l'AIN KILLKlt
would have a tremendous salu in the west this
season, and my anticipations have been more than
realized, and the testimony of thousands who have
used it has been thut they would' not be willing to
go to iM'ii at mgiit without ii in me nouse.
On the annearanee of the Cholera in this ritv.
such was the conlldcnce in the l'ain Killer as a
remedy, that many who purchased it remarked to
nio mat nicy nan no icars or nreiui oi tne cno;era
ns lonir as thev had the l'ain Killer by them, and
hundreds took it daily as a preventative, for no
person can have a derangement of bowels ordi
arrlui'a if they use this medicine-. This was the
security and conlldcnce of hundreds acquainted
with it. and when their friends were attacked with
tho Cholera they would administer tho remedy in
lame quantities, and in every ca-"e when it has
been taken in any of the tlrst stagesof the discaso,
it has moved successful.
I consider it an Infallible remedy. I have not
lipiirri of unv inil-vNliuil in unv fain lv who used
tho Vain Killer when attacked but speedily recov
ered. The clerk Informed run that ho administered It
to persona when cold or in eramni. and it rave nn
mndiatH mlief. but still It should be given ouicklv.
for when t lie discharge of "rice walor" has lie
gun, the hope of life has (led. Should this disease
make its appearance among you. as in all proba.
bility It will, be not a'armcd; you all others there
have the remedy, and I am confident if tin) l'ain
Killer is used, not a single death by Cholera will
occur in your cuy.
Kespectfully, yours,
A. T. VOOrVATtI.
