b8~ Newspaper correspondents won't

battlefelds of Germany General Benedek
has issued the following order against mill.
tary journalism: Il prohibit in the most for
NAL and most express manner officers or
other persons belonging to the troops, mil
itary establishments, or equipages furnish

the interests Of the army that criticisms,
generally ill-founded or resting upon facts
imperfeetly interpreted. should be permit

cles; that complaints should be made in
those publications Of any temporary def

therefrom the nature of the attitude, spirit

nM. The attitude of France on the Eu-
ropean war questions is thus noticed by
the Constitutional; "'rhe position off'rance
is not changed by late events. France COZ.
tinues as before to hold aloof from the con-
test. She has formed no engagements, and
will preserve all her liberty of action.
Whether war breaks out or not, she will
nos fail to exercise French influence anew
in favor Of peace whenever an opportunity
may offer. France would only take an ac-
tive part in events if imperative eircamstan-
ces should render it a duty for the defence
of the national honor or interests" In
coutradistinction to this we have the state
ment Of the Berlin correspondent gof the
London Times to the effect that orders have
been issued by Napoleon to concentrate
100000 men at ChaIons. We suspect the
French Emperor is only biding his time to
seize the largest ahsv' cf the war profits.

DRAINAGE NUISANCE AT THE HuB.-The
Boston correspondent Of the Chicago Times
writes as follows:
There is better reason for fleeing from
Boston this summer than ever before, in the
existence here of one of the most horrible
nuisances which the world can show. The
story is too long to be told in detail here
suffice it to explain generally that the south
part of our city was built with no expecta.
tion that the Back Bay would ever be 6ll
ed up, and the sewers were all constructed
to empty their contents there, to be swept
into the ocean with every days ebb tide
But the project of filing up and building
the Back Bay, and making it the fashiona
BILE quarter of the city was conceived, aud
voted a noble one by general voice. II
has gone on year after year, until only 9
little piece of water remains, and this, com
munication with the sea being cut of, is
covered with floating filth State and city
authorities, and corporations and private
citizens, are having q confused quarrel as
to who shall remedy the evil, and at whose
cost and in what manner it shall be done
Meanwhile every train on the Worcester
and Providence railroads, which cross each
other in the very centre Of this sickening
mass OF abomination, is obliged by law to
stop there to prevent collisions, and the
passengers have to hold their noses ant
battle with their nausea for full two min.
utes; and when the wind is westerly the
fearful stencil is borne right into the best
part of the city, driving people away from
the Common and Public Garden, carrying
the seeds of disease into every house, and
putting US in worse condition for chol
era summer, probably. than any other city
on the continent. In the press and in pri.
vute conversation the voice of indignation
is everywhere heard, but whether any rem.
edy can be applied with sufficient prompt
ness to abate the nuisance before the com
ing Of autumn, is more than doubtful.

YOUTHFUL FEEL1Ses.-In them. every
thing was young! the heart uncoilled, un-
blighted that fallness and luxuriance Of

vine. At that age, when it seems as if we
could never die, how deathless, how flush.
ed and mighty as with the younsness Of a
god are all that our hearts create! Oul
own youth is like that Of the earth itself
when it peopled the woods and waters with
divinities when life ran riot, and yet only
gave birth to beauty; all its shapes, Of poe
try-all its airs, the melodies Of Arcadia
and Olympus-all earth itself, even in it:
widest lairs, another, nay, happier heav

Last week squad Of Yankee soldiers
were sent here from Milican to arrest .
young man named Forrest (brother Of Cen
eral Forrest) for giving negro wench a
decent and deserved whipping. 1t appears
that she was very insolent to the lady to
whom she was hired, and this young man
who was boarder in the house properly
protected the lady by giving this abusive
ngger a merited punishment. She went to
her brother Yanks and made her report and
instead Of giving her whipping and send
ing her back, they gave her every encour-
agement and protection. God grant that
our poor down trodden State may soon be
