The i.sue this fall is between Republican
performances and Democratic promises.
Hon F. T. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey,
has refused the missioa to England, tendered
him by President Grant.
Free trade is pulling down cotton mills
in England and protection is buildine them
in France, Belgium, and the United States.
The Chioasj Post says "in spite of his
reverses, Napoleon still continues to be
popular in France. He ran well when the
plebiscite was submitted, and he runs well
now!" -
The rebels of Florida have issued a call
for a contention to nominate a State ticket,
- but have not the courage to call themselves
Democrats. "Representative of Conser
vatism and friends of Reform" are the mod
est titles under which they propose to con
duct tbeir campaign.
The Republican State Central Committee
had a meeting on Tuesday, August JCth, at
Altoona, at which an interchange of senti
ment from all portions of the State toot
place. The meeting was full, and the intelli
gence from all parts eheerinsr. The He
publicans go into the fall contest with a
prestige that of itself mates them powerful
and independent of this the assurances of
union and harmony which we have from al
most every quarter of the State mate us
confident of victory.
The policy of protection is matins of Mis
souri one of the greatest iron manufacturing
States of tha nation, and of St. Louis al
most a second liirminghum. Vet the free
traders of Missouri would rather see thi
important industry destroyed than built np,
rather see us dependent on Great liritiau than
independent of her. If their ruinous and
impracticable ideas were allowed to prcvaii
for even a twelvemouth, every blast-furnace
and fore in Missouri would be idle, and
every bed of ore as undeveloped as Nature
left it.
A paragraph is going the rounds, wliu-h
states as a reliable estimate that l.UOii.OtiO
persons are employed in manufacturing es
tablishments in the United States, and that
the number supported thereby is 1 0,000,0X.
Of this number 640,000 are employed in the
manufacture of iron, steel, and in mining
ore and coaL The 10,000,000 dependent
upon manufacturing industries are so many
consumers of agricultural products. How
would the interests of farmers bj affected if
the free traders should succeed in driving all
these stilled laborers into arL-ulture and
thus convert them from consumers into pro
ducers of the fruits of the field ?
The Tr&une say t: Tope PiuilX. having
offered in communications to Napoleon and
Kiny William to mediate between France
and Prussia, the latter Sovereign has written
in reply a letter, which will command the
admiration of all nations. He offers to dis
continue the war upon the simple assurance
of "him who declared it" that the peace of
Germany shall not again be interrupted.
There is demanded no conditions such as
the Conqueror has the right to dictate. No
provinces are to be ceded as the fruits of con
quest. This magnanimity of Prussia's Sov
ereign will Le not less applauded than the
energy and skill of Prussia's Generals ; and
its very generosity places it out of the power
of the French nation to reject it and main
tain the respect of mankind.
The Wheeling Intelligencer says : "One
of the ignificant facts of the times is the
sympathy with Napoleon that is to be found
everywhere throughout the country in De
mocratic circles. The Democratic paper
generally allow their sympathy with France
to find expression, and in a few conspicuous
cases, such as the New York Vo, I,l, tl.ey
mate no attempt at concealment. This fuel
ing is more demonstrative, if not stron-er
at the South than in the North. ;, 1
crisis of our war, when money was ih vital
necessity of our Government, when tt,-
ture of the Republic waa dart, and, in the
opinion of many at home as well as abroad
uncertain, the people of Germany never lost
faith in the cause of the Union. When
France and England were plotting against
us and refusing to take our bonds, Germany
took them and furnished a money to put
armies in the field, with confidence and cor
diality, which all true Americans now remcm
ber with gratitude. liut the Democratic
party cannot forgive those who furnished
our Government means to carry on the war."

" What is Doing.
London, August 16. Two great battles
were fought on Sunday, one at Ponge, eight
miles east of Meti, and the other at Longe-
Tille. The first encounter occurred before
the French had drawn off their forces to
cross the Moseile by the bridges connecting
with the woiks of Metz. The Prussians as
sailed the French in their rear guard furi
ously, pushing them to the very verge of
the works of the fortress. The French suc
ceeded in effectine a lodgment behind the
eutrenchments. Here the French made a
determined stand, and resisted the Prus
sian assault. The second contest then en
sued, which resulted in the repulse of the
Prussians in an almost hand to hand encoun
ter upon the walls of the outer line of worts.
The Prussians, though stubbornly contes
ting their ground, were beaten off by hos
tile masses, supported by the fortifications.
Hesrv' August 15, Evening. Yesterday
the Prussians attacked the French outside
their entrenchments at Metz, with great vi
olence. The French line was broken, and
their forces driven into Metz. The French
loss was 4,000. King William yesterday
made a reconnoissance for several hours.
lie penetrated the French outposts without
encountering any demonstration on the part
of the French.
Berlin, August 16. The following ad
ditional particulars of the second battle near
Metz, were received late last night : Late
in the afternoon of Monday, the First and
Seventh P.-ussian Army Corps, vigorously
attacked the French forces under the walls
of Metz, when a sanguinary conflict ensued,
the French being driven within the city,
with a loss of 4,000 men. On the same day
a grand reconnoissance, under command of
King William in person, maintained itself
for some hours within two liues of the
French defenses, without any effort on the
part of the F reach to dislodge it. This fact
shows the utter demoralization of the French
army.

The Prussians were admirably firm, though
they sustained the attaet of four French
corps, among them the Imperial Guard.
After fighting gallantly for six hours the
Prussian Fifth Division was reinforced from
the Tenth Corps. These reinforcements
arrived opportunely. The French found
that a prolongation of the contest would
be impossible, and thy retired upon Metz

Pont-a-Molsson, August 20, via Lux
UMBOURO,. The Special to the HWJsays :
I witnessed the battle. The Pruisians won
at fearful cost, mitrailleurs doing terrible
work. Four villages and battle fields are
still strewn with dead. From the front I
can see the French on Mont St, Quentin,
overlooking Metz from the east. Metz is
surrounded, and it loots as 2 if preparations
were being made by the Prussians for a
seige. General Sher'Jan, from the King's
headquarters, witnessed the battle. The
King returned here last night, and the

Sabbath Shhool Celebration. On
Fridav. Aiiirtist 10th. a Sabbath School Cel
ebration was held at Sylvan Grove, Morris
township, in which three yinerent schools
participated, besides a large number of vis
itors. The exercises of the day commenced
at the school house, with singing and prayer
by Supt. G. V. Hess. 1 he scholars were
then formed in procession and marched to
the beautiful grove uear by, which had been
fixed up for holding religious meetings. The
audience was then called to order and the
following officers chosen : President, (Jcorge
Hoover; Vice Presideut, Philip Knox; aud
Managers at large, James Potter, George
Ardery, J. K. Taylor, S. li. Williams. David
Aldrich and A. E. DauKbertv. The assem
bly then joined in singing that familiar hymn
"There is a happy land." and a prayer was
offered by Uev. Mr. Ivclly. llv. Kelly
then entertained us with a short address, in
which he plainly set forth the duties of all
in regard to Sabbath Schools, in a plain and
impressive manner, aud we think, from the
attention given, it was appreciated by all.
At about 2 o'clock, those having charge of
the tables announced that "dinner was
ready," and truly one would have thought
whilst gazing on the table, groaning beneath
its weight, that Heaven's bounties had been
dealt out with an unsparing hand in this
neighborhood. The children were then con
ducted to the table by their lespective teach
ers, and after they had finished their repast
those of a larger growth were invited, and
partook of the good things with evident
satisfaction. Two large swings had been
erected, where thoe who wished could en
joy themselves, whilst those who had no
taste for such amusement, passed the day in
friendly greeting and social converse until
the hour arrived to separate. The day was
beautiful, and the utmost harmony prevail
ed. All went to their respective homes feel
ing "it was good to be there." Blanks are
due to Uev. Kelly, who, although in poor
health, exerted himself to deliver an ad
dress ; and to the ladies for their untiring
energy in preparing the good things for the
table ; ana to all present for the excellent
order which prevailed throughout. Judg
ing from the interest manifested by all pres
ent, the Sabbath School cause has many true
friends and staunch supporters in this com
munity. D.
The Winnipeg War. It is notoriously
true that a particularly obsequious person is
very apt to play the bully if he happcus to
be secure in tha possession of power. Cana
da is just now handsomely il'ustratinz the
fact. She has been begging in most piteous
terms for England to protect and care for
her, as against the terrible Fenians. But
toward the Red ltiver insurgents she is dis
posed to play the bully. Before the Cana
dian expeditionary force started from the
shore of Late Superior for the lied River
country terms of settlement of existing diffi
culties had been agreed upon between offi
cials of the imperial government and com
missioners appointed by the Winnipeg Legis
lature, and one of these terms was that full
pardon and amnesty should be granted to all
parties concerned in the insurrectionary
movement. With this understanding the
insurgents laid down their arms, Riel disban
ded his troops and the Canadian forces were
suffered to march through the wilderneas to
the northwestern settlements unmolested.
Tbe Canadian Government, now that it has
a sufficiently large body of troops at Winne
peg to suppress any further insurrectionary
attemps, throws oif all disguise and declares
that no such agreements was entered into,
and if any amnesty is proclaimed those per
sons concerned in the execution of Scott will
be specially excepted from its provisions and
tha- in regard to them the law must take
its course. This certainly is taking a mean
advantage of the misunderstanding by the
inmpeg commissioners of the terms of the
aercement, and we doubt it the Winnipegers
will permit Riel to be arrested without a
stubborn resistance.

is over ; the coveted prize remains in the

brought the prize to these shores was wors

derive unalloyed benefits from our numer
ous tests of speed on land and on water.
