Elsewhere in this issue will be found the
war news up to the 18th inst, since which
time no decisive battles have been fought,
and there in no material change in the as.
pect Of affairs in France. There was a
battle near Metz on the morning of the
l4th. The French army were crossing
to the left bank of the Moselle, when they
were surprised by the Prussians who had
already crossed, and a sharp battle ensued.
The fight lasted four hours, and as both
sides claim victory, it is hard to tell the
result. Another battle was tough. near
Metz on the morning Of the of tho 18th,
IN which the Prussians were victorious.
The Prussians occupy Nancy, the French
having evacuated it without battle. The
town was made to pay $4,000 francs. A
requisition was also issued for large quaD-
titles Of rations and forage. Both sides Of
the Moselle are crowded with Prussianr,
making for Metz. Another sanguinaly
battle was fought under the walls of Metz
on the evening Of the 18th. After several
hours fighting the French were driven
within the city with loss of 1000.
On the same day grand reconnaissance
under King William in person maintained
itself some hours within two miles of the
French defenccs, without effort on the
part oFthe French to dislodgo them. This
shows the utter Generalization of the
French.
Napoleon with the Prince Imperial, are
reported at Verdun. They left Metz on
l4th, at which time Napoleon made a
proclamation to the inhabitants, calling
upon them to defend their city, and not
let that French strong hold fall into the
hands of the enemy. 1t is estimated that
the Prussians have 100000 men under
arms.
LArER--Thc result of the late battle at
Metz appears to be the driving the French
army within the Notifications and walls of
the city, with the loss of 1000 men. The
Prussian loss is said to be heavy. No
news has yet been received of the frag.
ments Of McMahon's army, but it is sup
posed that part has gone to Strasburg
aod part escaped across tho Vosges
Acuntains. Every new move exhibits in
clearer light the Generalization ard inef
nc'ency Of the French army, and the brav-
cry and discipline of the Prussians, and
'he end is not yet; for reliable cores.
pondcnt says, that while "not more than
$4,000 have yet entered France, it is
now reported from Berlin, and believed in
Paris. that reserve of 100000 has been
assembled between the Saar and the Rhine

The Stock Law. BY a law,
which took effect May lst, 1865,
it is made unlawful for any per
son being the owner or having
charge of any horses, mules,
cattle, sheep, goats, swine or
geese, to suffer the same to run
at large in any public road,
highway, or any street, lane or
alley, or upon any unclosed
land, under a penalty which
for repeated violations is severe.
The county commissioners are,
however, authorized to grant
general permission for the run
ming at large Of such animal
in the county, or the township
trustees may authorize the same
thing in their respective town.
ships. We call attention to
this matter SO that our readers
who own stock, may place
themselves on the safe side, as
we notice that in Morgan coun,
ty a flock Of sheep was impound'
ed for running at large, and the
owner was put to an expense
Of some $35 to have them re-
leased.

MISCELL AN ECU s.
A Warming to Young Men.

Nicotine is the active princl-
pie in tobacco, and in a concen-
trated form is one Of the most
virulent poisons known. Not
withstanding this fact, entirely
different opinions have been en-
tertained by the most respecta-
ble medical authorities respect.
ing the effect of tobacco on the
system many asserting that its
use in any form is baneful in
the extreme, while others con-
tend that moderate indulgence
in the narcotic weed is not only
harmless, but positively bene-
fetal to the health. The truth
is that the effect it produces
on different constitutions is
various. Some people may
smoke almost continuously
without exhibiting any i'll eff
fects, while others are sensibly
affected by the use of two or
three cigars a day. A cigar is
more likely to injure one than
a pipe, because the cigar dis
charges directly into the mouth
of the smoker everything that
is produced by the burning
And there are those who, from
an over indulgence in the ques-
tionable habit, live in constant
state of narcotism, or narcotic
drunkenness, to the serious det
riment of their mental organi.
cations.
Perhaps no stronger argu-
ment against the excessive use
of tobacco could be produced
than that afforded by the mel,
ancholy example of a man Of
the highest position, whose
case is now exciting great alarm
in the minds of his friends
This individual, whose name
we suppress from motives OF
delicacy, only eighteen months
ago was in the full possession
of vigorous intellectual powers,
and was the object of general
regard. For the last year,
however, he has smoked SO in,
cessantly that as a natural con-
sequence his faculties appear to
be rapidly failing him, and the
gravest apprehensions are en-
tertained lest he should finally
fall into a condition of absolute
insensibility. This ] sad case
should be a warning to the
young.

figures, on white paper.
Quite emblematical !
The white paper is the De-.

The green represents the
people that are foolish slaves to
pay principal and interest on
what has been and is now q
monstrous curse and a blight
on industry.
The blackwell, that is a
good loyal color. That is the
color we fought for! To lib
crate the black and enslave tho
white b! To destroy a working
aristocracy in the South, and
create an idle one in the North.
The red. That is a good
color. 1t flowed from the
hearts of bravemen, who fought,
that the cunning ones who had
money, might have a chance to
invest it safely.
Red is a good color. There
were blood,red-f -felds-eyes red
with weeping all over the land.

restored by fighting, for it was

fought for something! 1t was
not for the Union. 1t was not

The war is over-pay the
debt to the ones who jingled
their gold till its ring and me-
talic music drowned the cries
Of those whose red.blood was
running deathward. Yes
that red is q good color !.
And the blue i! Ask the
honest working man who pays
taxes, while the bondholder
pays none--how he feels -
Blue is good !! The figures are
in blue-that is the numbers.
And the numbers of the people
are blue-the bondholder will
be. Twenty thousand dollars
worth of paper-bonds. All
nearly printed, with little gold
bearing coupons attached
Handle the beauties with care,
They are pets--a pocketful Of

The President, the courts,

twenty thousand worth Of
bonds earned last year two
thousand dollars in greenbacks.
The one who holds the bonds

amount in currency.
And no trouble. No taxes

A White Mans Party.
For many years the tender

cy of the Black Republican
party has been to negro wor-
ship. This infatuation has in
creased from year to year, un-
til that party has about lost
sight of the rights Of the white
race, North and South. If a
negro in any of the Southern
States, in a drunken revel, is
injured or killed, the whole
party is ready to exclaim-
"The Ku Klux Klans still
survive, and the military must
hold sway over the conquered
provinces"
The theory is now rapidly
gaining ground in Republican
quarters, that it will be unsafe
to permit the white race, here
after, to rule the Southr To
this end, every means will be
used to harrass, annoy and ex-
asperate that people, by recon-
struction acts, by military sur
veillance, by placing over them
upstairs, cobblers, carpet bag
gers, negroes and robbers, that
an excuse may be had to defer
their admission into the Union
until the complete ascendency
of the African can be secured
and the white populations of
the South be put beneath his
rulel
So far has this idea spread
abroad in Republican ranks,
that we see in our exchanges
evidence of extreme jealousy
at every advance made by time
serving, untrusty Democratic
thimble.riggers, and trimmers,

We want a white-man's par
ty. The white man can, and
must rule America. He will
rule this country, if he has to
exterminate the negro to do
so. White men, loving their
own race will scorn to be the
associates of hybrids and mon
grels. They will be infexible
in their opposition to the social

country will never yield to the
demand of the Republican
leaders, to degrade themselves
to the level Of the mongrels of
Mexico, Central America, and
the West Indies.
