War in Europe.

A reconnaissance in force was made by
the French troops, on Friday, the 30th ult.,
and the Pr,lssianS retreated from Melville
La Hay, Thiave and Choisy lie Roi, distant
from five to seven miles from the fortitica-
tions. After short engagement, in which
both sides suffered heavily, the French
troops withdrew to Forts Bicetre and
Ivry. Neither side seems to have accom-
plished anything decisive in this engage
mcnt. Advices by way Of London say that
the Prussian lines continue closing in
around Paris, and that tine bombardment
will be from Nillejuif, Genncvillers and st.
Cloud, commanding positions on the north,
northeast and southeast. A messenger to
Queen Victoria has been allowed by the
Prussians to depart from Paris, with the
understanding that he is to he the last
The Lourey Canal has been drained by the
besiescrs to deprive Paris of its water
supply. A garrison of ZEN tl.ouard has
been left at Strasbourg and the remainder
of Won Werdcr's army has been divided,
other going to reinforce the PruSsians
around Paris. A messenger from the
Empress Eugene had long conference at
Wilhelmshohc with Napoleon on Sunday
The Paussans demand 100000 tlorins
indemnity from each of the captured prov
inces from which the Germans were expcll-
cd by the French. A Prussian army of one
hundred thousand men is said to be conccn-
trating at Toul. Bismarck, at the request
Of Jules Favrc. has consented to allow a
courier to pass through the Prussian lines
between Paris and Tours once week. To
IN inquiry as to when the bombardment of
Paris would commence, the Prlssian Pre-
mier declined an answer.
Dispatches from both French and Eng
lisli sources report the defeat of Il Prlssail
detachment in the forest of Eontainblcau,
five miles northeast Of Paris, on Tuesday,
by French frec-shooters. On the same day
the PrussianS bombarlel the town of
Epernon, thirty miles southwest of Paris,
on the Orleans Railway and captured the
position, the French garrison being driven
back. In the southeast it is reported that
there has been fighting near Bclfort, and
that the French gained victory over 4

The colored registration vote Of Mary

to SO, 479, and when the books of registra-
ton are again opened for completion, and
correction of the lists, which will be on
Monday and Tuesday, the 9th and 25th
of the present month, If a proper effort is
made to have full registration, the colored
registered vote will reach very nearly, if
not quite 10000 in the State. The Demo-
Gratis virtually concede that all their efforts
to win the colored vote have proven fruit
less, and that it will be cast almost solid
for the Republican ticket. With the addi-
ton of 10000 votes to the Republican
party, few thinking men can be found to
reckon upon Democratic rule continuing
beyond the next State election. An effort
is being made by the Democratic politicians
to hoot a portion of the Republican vote
over to their side, but none who sympathise
with the Republican party in it's efforts to
clear the country of debt, and repair the
destruction caused by the late war of the
Democratic slave party upon the Govern
ment, and who possess the principles Of a
man, will be either scared or f1attered, by
their appeals to the meanest elements of
human nature.
A simpleton he must be who, when he
sees the superhuman efforts put forth by
the Democracy in attempts to form colored
Democratic clubs, in some parts of the
State, where even faint hope exists of
coaxing a few colored men to vote their
ticket, could be induced to forsake his
political principles by the barren cry of
''negro equality on the part Of those who,
having expended every effort to secure that
vote, finally failed. Those whom the Dem
ocrats hope to frighten and add to their
own ranks, if they have not already de-
tected the sour grapes, will have no diff
Guilty in accounting for the demagogue
parade of a "White Mans party" a year

several towns in this State-Elkton among
the number-for municipal officers, in the
course of the past Summer, and no one
not even the most sharp-sighted Democrat
has discovered that the social status of
the community has in the least degree suf-
fered any charge thereby. No white man
has had cause to complain since the cor
poratlon election in this town, when some
fifty colored men cast their votes on the

(Yomkippur), the most important day in
the Jewish caleudar. There was an entire

with the order of service prescribed in their
ceremonial ritual. The ceremonies are
impressive, but long and exhansting, in

which are taught at this Festival are the
justice of God, the wickedness of men, the
necessity of an atonement, the duty of

War between Maryland and Virginia.

This heading will doubtless startle some
of our readers, who remember what amount
of sympathy was expended by Virginians
on Maryland, my Maryland" when the
"tyrant's heel" was on the latter. \
war "ruthless" but bloodless has broken
out OH the frontiers of the two States over
the oyster business. Several oyster boats
have been captured by the Virginia Oyster
Navy-for she has an Oyster Navy too
and the crews, or at least Captains of the
PUNCHES were tried at Drummon1town, last
Saturday for violating the Oyster Laws Of
Virginia. The vessels were Clustering on
what the Marylanders considered disputed
territory, or rather water, between the
States-the boundary line never having
been settled. Tie partie were al acquitted
before the Magistrates Court, and rear
rested on other charges by the Commodore
Of the Oyster May of Virginia, and confined
in Jail, to await the meeting Of the County
Court, which assemblies in November
The following is description of the

FILTHY JAIL,


by a Marylander:-"Th Jail in which
these citizens of Maryland are confined is
the most filthy place imaginable. Their
only food is bread made Of unsifted corn
meal and a small quantity of fat meat
with water to drink. They are kept on the
same regimen as the prisoners of Belle Isle
and Libby were RECALLED with during the
war.
EXCITEMENT AMONG TIE OYSTERMEN.
The excitement here and mong all tie
Bay counties is intense, and unless prompt
action is taken fer their release there will
be an intense border war and reprisals
made on Virginia boats and oystcrmen-
The Maryland Oyster Navy is the subject
OF ridicule among those for whose protec-
ton it was instituted.
AN APPEAL FOR PROTECTION.
Our people expect Governor Bowie to
interfere in their behalf, and secure their
release, at least until the day of trial.
During this war of the Maryland and
Virginia roses, we hear nothing of our
gallant Oyster Navy. Why don't the Cap
tain steam out and attack those Virginia
cruisers and sink Them We fear our
Commodore is showing the white feather,
and will be without excuse before the next
Republican Legislature.

The fierce diGtribe of Senator Morton
against the people of the South shows
clearly that time has not cooled his pas
sions nor removed his prejudices. lie is
as bitter and vindictive now as when the
armies of the South opposed the armies
of the North. lie would still inflict
pains and penalties upon whole people.
He is unwilling that punishment should
cease, that quiet should be restored and
reconciliation be established. The country
requires and demands peace, but he still
wears his war paint and tlourishes his
tomahawk and scalping knife over the
defenceless heads of his former enem.e-.
We are somewhat surprised that SO old
politician as Senator Morton has not
penetration sufficient TO discover that the
Northern people are growing weary Of
continued prosecutions with which he
and his followers would harass the South
ern people Some of the Radical leaders

II will thus be seen that the rate of tel
egraphing is much lower in France than
in this country. This is attributed to the
fact that it has been the policy of the
government there to bring the telegraph
within the reach of all. 1t is stated by
an exchange that every nation that has
tried the postal telegraph system has
found i! great saving to the people.
This asser.io has been controverted by q
statement that the postal telegraph system
proved complete failure in England.
But this appears to be a mistake. Mr..
Washburn, Representative in Congress
from Wisconsin, has received the follow
ing letter showing the satisfactory work
ing of the government telegraph in Great
Britain:
GENERAL PosToFFICE, LONDON, May 2,
1S7O.-Dear Sir Long before this letter
reaches you you will have received a let
ter from me showing youthat our scheme
has not proved so complete failure as
some of your adversaries have declared it
to be. / send you statement of the
number of messages forwarded from all
postal telegraph stations in the United
Kingdom in each of the four weeks to
the 30th of April. The statement also
shows the number Of complaints of de-
lay, inaccuracy, non-delivery, etc., which
We have received lately, and you will per-
ceive that the proportion of complaints
to business done is ridiculously small.
There is no doubt whatever that we have
already anhicved a solid success. The
absence of complaints from the general
public shows that they are satisfied; the
press are gradually allowing that we are
working better for them than the tele-
graph companies worked, and the finan-
cial success of the scheme is beyond all
doubt. Only the other day | received
return from our superintendent in Ire
land, which shows that we are taking
thirty-three per cent more money
at the shilling tariff than the combined
telegraphic companies took at three shil-
ling and four shilling tariff. OF course
this enormous increase of business led in
the first instance to a little confusion and
little delay, but we are gradually con-
quering all the difficulties against which
we have had to contend, and l am per-
fectly justified in saying that the scheme
may be regarded as a complete success at
this moment. Faithfully yours,
FRANK IVES SCUDAMoRE.
Cheap kilograms will be attended with
the same success that cheap postage has
The great body of the people are to be
benefited by a heavy reduction in tele-
graphic tolls, and if private companies
cannot transmit messages for much lower
rates than arc now charged, it may be-
come matter for the government, as the
transmission of the mails has.

The day has gone by when medicine without
