According to dispatch from Provo City
Utah, the federal troops stationed in thai
neighborhood imagine that the late war is still
in progress, and that peaceabIe citizens have
no rights The dispatch says
Forty u. s. troops made raid on this city
last night, broke into Alderman Nullers resi-
dence, fired several shots into his bed room,
smashed in the doors aDd windows took him
prisoner, and held him Tor an hour. Passing
up the street, they stove in the doors and win
dows of the cooperative store, and tore down
the sign. They next attacked the house OF
Counsellor McDona d. who was from horne,
completely denolishibg every door and window
on the second floor. aud sacked the house.
Alderman Sheets residence narrowly escaped
the same tate. They then proceeded to the
Meeting House, broke in the shutters, ard at
tempted to burn the building. They were arm
ed with U. S. needle Guns with bayoDets, and
revoIvers, and during the rad captured several
citizens and severely beat and bayoneted them
before they could escape

in parts OF The South during the late war, and
how badly it speaks for the discip inc of the

The "Redso in Paris.

PARIS, September 23.-Tbe attacks on the
Government continue, and are, il possible,
more bitter now that We are all shut up togcth
err. Some of the Red organs, the Reveillc, tor
instance, insist that there shall be no peace on
any terms that war must 90 on at all hazards
until victory is WOO. These same people in-
sist on a clean sweep being made in the public
Offices, so that the whole administrative body
EN- ployed under the Empire, rank and file, as
we'll as the heads of departments, shall give
place to new men. How is government posi-
BILE under such conditions 1t is Of the last
i'm portance that the Government should make
peace, and here are a set Of men who declare
hat they shall not make peace on any terms ;
who reproach the Ministers bitterly for enter
tanning the question of peace. and yet these
very men begin to cry out for an equal distri-
button of food among US, and would cmbArrass
the Government with disturbances. IT any.
thing goes wrong these are the people who are
to BIO feared.
Tnc Government are doing their very best,
but the Red men arc getting louder and louder
each day in their dissatisfaction. They
threaten seriously to hamper the Government
and it may be that before long, Paris may re
gard the incoming of the Prussians as lesser
evil than their supremacy.

ter than the dispatches published In yester
da,'s Gazette.
Advices from Paris say that henceiorth all
defensive movements will be behind the walls;
that the Prussiaps occupy the heights over
looking the Seine from Bellevue to Montrc-
tout, and that nothing pow prevents them from
crossing the Seine, rebuilding the bridges, and
bombardipg the city. The failure of General
Vinoy, on Monday, is attributed to the dis
gracious fight Of the zouaves, and has ended
all defensive operations in the field 1t is said
that the Prussians are concentrating their
strength from all quarters around Paris, and
sending out uhlaus iu various directions to keep
the people under the influence Of Intimidation

been ordered from Germany to CO operate with
the armies around the city.

Indirect communications from Paris seem to
confirm previous accounts Of the clamors of the
red republicans. and the dangerous tendency
of their influence.
Rome is completely occupied by the Italian
troops. The Pope has been permitted to re-
