Paris. London and New York.


The London correspondent of the n.
Y. Times thus writes of the three great
cities Of the word
Paris, as a great many Americans know,
is more like New York than any other city
in Europe. The sentence is eQuivocal, but
YOU can take it either way But Paris is
wonderful for its order, nestnesS cleanli-
ness and splendor of its public as well as
The elegance of its private buildings Yet
New York has capabilities wanting to
Paris As I stood on the top of the Are-de
Trisl1nphe, which commands sucl mag
niAeent view of the whole basin of Paris,
q said to friend, "The view is magnif-
cent and wants only two things, which 1
am afraid the Emperor, with all his power,
viii not be able to furnish. One is water
in the landscape-the other is mountains
in the distance. Lakes might be dug, but
l it will puzzle even the Emperor to heap up
mountains in the horizon. New York
excels Paris in its bay and rivers, and in
the Palisades and the heights that guard
the Nsrrows. The Central Park is more
extensive that the gardens of the Tuilor-
les and Champs ELysees and has more beau.
ty and capabilities than the Bots de Boat-
| Loqne; but the American Metropolis is
wanting in what the French call monu-
ments-great public buildings. It has no
/ Notre Dame, no Pantheon, no Madelsine,
no Louvre, no Luxembourg, and though
Broadway is a very nice street, New
York has no Boulevards. But the Central
Park and its surroundings, and the high
grounds at the northwest Of the island have
great capabilities. There should be some
4 thing like Crystal Palace in the centre or on
q Central elevation in the Central Park,
4 and the citizens and capitalists Of New
York will find that every attraction they
can make viii pay good per centage.-
Paris resembles New York in the extent OF
building and repairing going on. The old
city is disappearing, and a new one rising
on its ruins Miles and miles of broad and
elegant streets, are being built. Notre
Dame has Just been rebuilt; the Hotel
Dieu is to undergo immediate transforms
tion. The Emperor is iAseribing himself
on Paris and France, so as not soon to be
forgotten. It is impossible not to admire
the work he is doing, whatever may be
thought of the motives, but in this respect
good works ought MOTTO be uncharitablJ
criticised.
1t is very curious to come back to Lon.
don after few days in Paris. The smoky
atmosphere, the filthy streets, the low
black, irregular houses, the squallor of th'
people, and the street cries and noises dis
gust you, After awhile yod get used to /
all, but you sigh now and then for th'
bright, clean, gay, neat and splendid Cspi
tai on the other side of the channel Tht
thing that consoles you most is the foliage
the trees of England, which are superio
to any 1 saw In France, even in Norman
die, where they ought TO be about the same
but Nornandie looks more like New thai
Old England, and the resemblance some
times is quite striking.

Reauregard reported to be on p New
Tack.
The Cincinnati COn4nlereiaL says {:

The Cincinnati Commercial says:
An opinion was prevalent in Atlanta a
few days ago, that Beauregard, who was
generally believed to have succeeded Hood,
deserters confirm the rumors in Southern
newspapers to that effect was engaged in
an enterprise that would make the latter
part of the campaign season. in the West,
as interesting as the first The theory is,
that Besuregard is about attempting on
Sherman the game that Bragg tried with
Buell., two year ago, and is moving his
whole army to enter Tennessee, passing
our right flank. This would be an auda-
cious adventure, and so desperate in its ns-
ture, that il is hardly probable it can have
the approval of men o military judgment
1t will be recollected, however, that Beau
regard is an officer who has heretofore
commanded in the southwest, and that
his favorite scheme-as disclosed in letters
of his that we're intercepted and published
was to advance north and strike at the
base of our operations, rather than squarely
oppose his front to ours. 1t ispossible that
we NAV soon hear of the army that evac-
uated Atlanta, following in the wake of
Forrest
Sherman will certainly "go for them"
SIS they say in the army, and we do not
know anything more likely to work out
great results in our favor, than the tenn
porary transfer of the seat of war in the
West from upper Georgia to middle Ten
n -ssee. Besuregard may cross the Ten
nessee River northward, easily, but getting
back again will be the rub. =.
The presence of General Thomas at
Nashville, fact which has been very i'm
properly circulated throughout the coun-
Try by telegraph, may mean that Sherman
is impressed with the necessity of making
campaign in Tennessee; or it may mean
that Thomas proceeded to Nashville, as is
believed there, merely to attend to his own
private affairs,

Prospective War i'm South America
While we are attending to a wicked re-
beIlion, the people of Peru, on the Pacific
coast of South America, are disposed TO
fight with Spain unless she relinquishes the
Chineha Islands, seized BY Admiral Pin
zon several months since The Admiral
is not only required to relinquish
those islands, especially valuable for their
guano deposits, but he is commanded to
salute the Peruvian flag, or Peru will in
augurate war against Spain. Peru has but
two and one-hslf millions Of people, and
mas no navy. If she be involved in war
with Spain, now much stronger than-in
days gone by, it may bring other South
American ststes to her side, if it aPpear
that Spain Is merely desirous to makecon-
quests on the Western Continent, as has
France in Mexico. They must combine to
resist the encroachments of 8 foreign pow
er Spain Is, no doubt, quite as ambitious
ss France, and thinks this her golden Op-
portunity.
Correspondence from Callso represents
that Spain viii not comply with the de-
mands of the Peruvisn Congress and that
consequently war must be precipitated by
the demands of Peru. The Chinchs Is
lands, which are the object of the contest,
are quite valuable, 3s,478 tons of guano
having been shipped from them during
the months Of July ami August to various
parts Of The world. There is little proba-
bility that Spain, ambitious to re-establish
herEormer power and glory in South Amer
ica, viii consent to the surrender of such
important possessions. War viii, there
fora in all likelihood. be the result.

Its well to reeallthe words written by
Lieutenant General Grant. After setting
forth the military prospect he says:
II have no doubt but the enemy are
exceedingly anxious to hold out until after
the Presidential election. They have
many hopes from its results. They have 3
counter-reyolution. They hope for the el-
ection of the Peace candidate. In fact
like Micawber, they hope for something
to turn up" Our Peace friends, if they
expect peace from separation, are mucf
mistaken. 1t would be but the beginning
Of war, with thousands of Northern mel
joining the South because of our disgr grac'
in allowing separation. O. g

The Philadelphia Commercial Last and
Price C,srre,,t speaks thus of petroleum
Since our last report we have added five
new companies to the list of oil orgsniza-
tions, which make the whole number in
Philadelphia one hundred and twenty
eight, with a nominal capital Of over
seventy millions Of dollars From all we
can learn there are in the country at least
one hundred and ninety oil companies now
organized, representing nominal capital
of about hundred millions of dollars; and
it is indisputsble that the great majority of
these were organized by parties who ex-
pected to sell out their interest as soon as
the stock attained market value. Many
of them are, indeed, deliberate attempts to
defraud, and the land set down in their speci-
ications is entirely unproduetive of oil.
The MANIA we perceive, has extended to
West Virginia; and we hear talk of Pc
troleum Exchange to be opened in New
York in very short time. Less than a
week ago It was reported that q single
sale of twenty thousand shares in single
company, the par value being twenty
dollars; had taken place within. moderate
radius of Wall street. No one can deny the
great value of productive oil wells; but
there is q reasonable limit to everything,
and there is no sufficient reason for proper
ty that could have been bought for few
hundred dollars a couple of years ago, SELL
ing for as many millions now.

Reports + ON RIchmond

The Washington ChrO,aieEe of Saturday,
says:
A young man has just reached this city
from Richmond, having left that city, by
night, less than week since, to avoid mil
itAry servieA He says that many people in
Richmond whisper that the South must
succomb, while the majority, perhaps feel
secure he reports that entrenchments,

statement agrees with that of one of our
returned prisoners, an oficsr-who said
that he counted five lines of defences as he
passed into city by the Central Railroad.
Our Richmond informant also states that
there are great many negroes IN the city,
to work on the defsnces, as may besupposed
and that large numbers of troops have
latterly come in over the Lynchburg and
Danville RSilroad.

A Word 70 Ihe Drafted

A New York paper asserts that Provost
Marshall General Fry has informed Assis-
tant Bishop Bede1 that members of the
Episcopal denomination, who shall by oath
or affirmation declare that they are consci-
entiOusly opposed to bearing arms, and
who shall establish the fact that they
are prohibited from doing SO by the rules
and articles of faith and practice BY that
denomination, will be exempt from militia
ry duty, under the amended law of Febru-
ary p, 1864.

Good Times for Rebel Deserterz,

The Washington Chronicle thus speaks
of rebel deserters
On Monday last, fifty rebel dese-ters
we're furnished with transportation to 90
where their fancy leads them north o. Ma
son and DiIon's line. These men come
among US, stay day or two, to be gazed
at by US as something interesting, then,
obtaining employment at high rates of re-
muneration, they doff their Confederate
nondescript attire, and lose their peculiar
ity as rebel soldiers. In donning the ha-
bilimeLts Of the civilian, they also secure
freedom in its brosdest sense, for they are
among other things, free from the draft.
Daily, in our researches in the Provost
Marshsfs Office, we observe the Eames of
many men who have been allowed ezemp-
tion from draft on account of being de-
serters from the rebel army, or refugees.
Sothat rebel deserter has literally moth
ing to do but eat, drink, work, improve his
condition, enjoy himself aud hide away
greenbscks.

PondIetOn made speech in October

Pendleton made speech in October, il
1862, in which he said
"He had determined 20 support the con.
stituted authorities of the country in al
measures necessary to maintain the gov.
erPment and enforce obedience to the con.
stisution he was in favor Of attaining the
ends and purposes Of the war in the short
est and speediest way. he was opposed tc
disunion, whether the demand came from
the South or from European nations-the
greatness and glory of the country depend.
ed upon the Union it was worth every
sacriAce-worth more than peace, desira'
bic as peace may BE-"
From that moment he began his OPposi
tion to the war in Congress and has man
tanned the character of consistent Cop
psrhead ever since. The above is only &
specimen of the clap-trap by which he and
other Democrats in Ohio managed to gel
to Congress in 1862. Seymour, of New
York, tried the same dodge, and is no%
trying it again. But crying war and act.

me Ownerahip Of the n. Y. world.


George opdyke, who was outrageOusly
jfbeied BY the New York World, has been
making efforts to find Outthe owners Of that
institution, that they may be duly prosecu-
ted. Although every possible means has
been rssOrted to, he has not yet succeeded
in finding out who own the World. The
World pretends to be leader Ofthe Dem
Ooratic party, and yet its owners, rich men
running it for their own purposes, cannot
be found out The World, fkethe Demo
cratic party, is probably run BY the Jew
Banker Belmont. The holders of Con-
Sederate bopds in Europe have money
interest st stake in the election of McOlel-
lsn, and could afford to spend a few mil
lions to insure his election.

that it was reported at Washington that

they had an interview with the President,
the result being unknown. If there is
anything in the rumor, it will excite great
interest throughout the whole country.

The recent revelations as to the man
agement Of the New York World are of
the richest kind. Manton Marble, it
seems, is not genuine Democrat, and for
this gets punched by the New York ,Ne1cs
in the following touching style:
1t is well known that the World news
paper pretends TO be an organ of the de-
mocrscy. Mr. Marble Manton, its editor,
constitutes himself the oracle at whose su-
preme dietation the law of the Democratic
party is written down. What he pro-
nounces to be Democratic doctrine must be
accepted by the faithful, and at the point
of his pen he carries platforms and princi-
piles by assault. he speaks in the name of
Mcclellan, defines the candidates position,
interprets the Democratic creed, and signi-
hes who is, and WHO'S not within the Dem
ocrstic pale.
Nevertheless, two years sgo, this self
eoustitut, d dictator of the party confessed
that his secret sympathies were with the
opponents of the Democracy. He much
preferred to have the paper remain with
the Black Republican party, but, in view
of certain peouniary circumstances, he
would be obliged himself to go with the
paper to the side of the opposition.

Sherman's communications have been
for couple of weeks endangered by eff
forts to cut his line ofsupplies. They have
been unsuccessful, however. The rebels,
1000 strong, were driven with great loss
from the vicinity of Allstoons, on the road
between Chattanooga and Atlanta, toward
Dallas, which lies few miles northwest
of Atlanta. Forrest, who has been opera
ting on the Eailrosds south cf Nashville, is
making efforts to recross the Tennessee at
Florence, point on the river and q num-
Der of miles west of Huntsville. The rebel
forces have thus been routed by the activi-
ty of our forces in Tennessee, and are rap
idly making their way back again into the
interior of Georgia and Alabama In the
meantime they may suffer heavy punish
ment for their audacity.
