Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal.

the Hams tragedy, occurring in Hopkins
county few weeks ago. Ii the Com

one of the parties on the spot when the
killing occurred, / feel that such misrep-
resentation Of the facts is an outrage TO
the memory Of my murdered brother and
myself. The truth Of the whole affair is
about this: About the eth instant two

the Democratic leader, with Eve inhab-
iiants Of Prussian schleswig, including
Deputy Kryger, Danish Captain, three
Hanoverian advocates, pastor, school
master, and others, are confined within
the fortress of Loethzen for political
ofenses. Numerous prisoners Of State
and members Of the Liberal press are
imprisoned within the citadel at Knenigs-
burg.
The numerous arrests of Democratic
leaders and editors for the candid eH-
preston Of their liberal sentiments has
excited the greatest indignation through
out the country. The injudieious course
of the government is severely denounced.
The King has been petitioned by hume
rous bodies to release Herr Jacoby and
his companions.

The following Is the French official &C
count of the late victory communicated
to the government here:
PARIS. September 25.-Sunday divi-
sion Of French troops attacked the
Prussians upon the posted nights and
plateau of yillejeuf, and blew up the re-
doubts Of Moulius. Saquit. Villejeuf and
Haute Brejeres. The Prassiap loss was
considerable, as the French assaulted
with bayonets. Admiral sayssil, with a
force Of two hundred fusilliers, fonr
hundred marines ana eight companies Of
lancers, made brilliant reconnaissance,
and drove the Prussians from the village
of Droney. Gen. Belanger attacked the
Germans, who were in heavy force al
Pierre, dislodged and drove them back
splendidly afief hard and well con
tested fight. The French FeiFpaled af-
terward to St. Denis without disorder.

human endurance to its utmost capacity
The Parisians may excite the admira'
ton Of the world by their noble defense
but il is impossible for them to hold Out
long and the early surrender of Paris
would doubtless hasten such peace as
Prussia intends to give the conquered
land. After that, and not before the
French may determine what form OIL
government they prefer.

PARIS.

1t is not reasonable to expect reliable
news from the besieged capital of France,
shut up, ag it is, and surrounded by
Prussian armies The people are pre-
paring for an heroic defense, and may
sustain themselves some weeks. Re
ports published yesterday of fighting
and violence in the streets are contra
dicted to-day, end il is probable that
good order and discipline are maintained.
Heretofore the sympathies of this coun-
try-particularly in the North-haye
been with King William. But, now that
he has disposed Of the Empire and dis
persed or captured the armies of Napo-
leon, and crowned his banners with VIC
tories everywhere, what is he fighting
for2 He announced TO the world that
he was not fighting against the French
people: but il seems that he Is. lie Is

Of government that kings never re.
cornize if they cas avoid the
humiliation. The American citizen,
born either in France or Germany, natu-
rally takes sides in the war, and has all
his sympaihies enlisted and takes deep
interest in the result. His kindred and
people. and the institutions, social and
political, Of his ancestors may be in
volved, and he cannot be Indifferent to
the great tragedies Of daily occurrence.
But the American citizen who has never
visited foreign shores, or learned from
his parents another language, cannot be
as deeply interested, be he ever SO well
read and conyersant with the history
and causes Of the struggle. As human
beings. however, we sympathize with
suffering humanity on either side. We
remember that the common soldier has
little TO gain for risking or losing his
life; the widows and orphans, the desc

ruined fields sHd vineyards al appeal

terribly destructive. They report that
General Ulrich declares that he cannot
hold Strasburg much longer against the
overpowering armament which the Prus-
SLAMS are using against him, and that he
has resolved to dispatch a messenger to
Paris to represent the deplorable state Of
affairs within the city, and to ascertain
the judgment Of the Government.

was Conmttted-A Queer story.
ScHuYLKItL HAVEN. September p.
An arrest has taken place here this
morning that promises to secure the
conviction OF the party guilty of the
murder of Mr.. Nathan on the 18th of
August. A young man named Francis
j. Kessling came to Schuylkill Haven
and took quarters at Eplings Hotel.
Almost his first remark was asking the
landlord if he had heard anything about
the Nathan murder. He seemed restless
and troubled, and could not sleep at
night and at length admitted to a
boarder that he was within four feet of
Nathan when he was hit; that he kess-
ling) had the iron dog in his hand a
short time before the murder was com
mitted; that he knows where the dog was
purchased; that Nathan dropped when
he was hit the first blow, and that he
could at any time lay his hand on the
murderer. He was urged to go to New
York and lay the information before the
authorities, but refused, saying if GER
tain party did not do the right thing he
would blow in short time.
Since this confession he has been very
reticent, and refused to admit anything
But a close surveillance of his move
ments has wound around him a fearful
chain of circumstances. He is known to
have pawn tickets for diamonds and jew
elry, and has some bloody clothes halt
washed. His manner has been that of
one upon whom some terrible crime has
hung. No rest, no sleep, no appetite.
He has been in constant correspondence
with some parties in New York, and re-
ceived from them letters and money. He
claims to have been bartender at sa-
loon ON the corner of Broadway and
Blocker streets: says he knows Washing
ton Nathan we'll; iiat he many times
opened champagne for him; that his
| fathers name is Robert kessling, and he
resides at No. q Maiden Lane, or at
least does business there, In appear
ance he is small, and has dark hair. de
said he had lost forty-seyen pounds in
weight since he left New York. He was
employed as hand on a canal loaf on the
Schuylkill canal at the time of his cap
ture. In his conversation he repeatedly
tells things which would criminate him.
He will be in New York Tomorrow.
