The FALL OF MET.

The surrender of Metz and one hundred
and fifty thousand men by Marshal
Bazaine, is the greatest material loss get
sustained by the French. The loss Of
McMahon's army, with the Emperor
Napoleon thrown in as make
weight, was a serious, if not t:tal
calamity. Men of good judgment de
clared at the time of the capitulation Of
Sedan, that the war would probably be
soon after closed up. But unfortunately
those who happened to have the long
looked for opportunity to establish the
French Republic, had also the ambition
to retrieve the lost glory of the French
arms. They would not, therefore, listen
to any proposition for peace, unless
founded upon the condition that the
Prnssians should evacuate French soil.
This preposterous demand was answered
by an immediate movement upon Paris.
Since then city after city has fallen.

METZ SAVED AND LOST N TIE SINE


The friends of Metz were highly elated
Thursday afternoon and yesterday NOM
ingto read in the Pic0y.me the following
assuring paragraph:
At length we have at least one significant
and reliable hint regarding the situation at
Metz. 1t is telegraphed from London that
one thousand stoves have been ordered for
the hutS of the German army OF investment.
This one fact dissipatcs all tie clouds of
false reports about the critical condition CT
BaZalne's army. and the immediate pros
pect of its inevitable surrender II hostili-
ties are to be continued into the winter
Prince Frederick Carl, and not Marshal
Bazainc, wifi occupy the critical position.
About the same hour the astpte OF
server who writes for the P,cayme was
penning the above brilliant and assuring
idea, old King William, who IS as truth
full as he is direct and terse in his dis
patches, was writing the following to his
good Queen Augusta:
This morning Bazaine and Metz capitl,-
lated with $50, 900 prisoners, including $4,000
sick and wounded.
This army and garrison laid down their
arms this afternoon. This is one OF the most
important events of the war. Providence
he thanked
Straws may show which way the wind
blows, but stoves and skillets can not be
relied on to indicate the result of siege
II Prince Carl, who is renowned as a
warrior, has invested in stoves, he doubt
less knows what he intends to do with

Metz, alter StraSburg, leaves the Whole
line of Prussian communications free
and unlikely to be intercepted by any
force. The fall of Paris must inevitably
follow. Even without firing a Prussian
gun at the city, it can not stand. For
communications are all cut off and sup
plies stopped, so that want, suffering and
starvation viii erfectually accomplish the
work.
The great error Of the French has been
that the people have looked backward in
stead Of forward. The dazzling glory OF
the First Empire still blinds the enthusi-
astic Frenchman to the practical realities
Of the situation. They fondly imagined
that every field should turn out an Austen
htz or Jena. They forgot that these
hard fought slaughter pens have their
humiliating recollections for the enemies
of France as well as their Glories. They
are to be avenged on the one side as well
as cherished on the other How long this
moral blindness is to continue We can not
say. The disaster al Sedan and the heroic
resistance and final fall Of Strasburg
may remove it. The tramp Of hostile feet
into the heart of France has heretofore
failed to awake the nation to a sense of
the great danger that envirors it. Per-
haps the capitulation Of Metz, and with
it the last marshal Of the empire and
the last army of France worthy OF
the name, may bring the people
to their senses, and make them re-
alize the futlity of further resistance.
Without a leader; without an army that
dare take the field, and with no hope ex-
cept upon raw levies, that fee, panic
stricken, at the sight Of German battery
it is criminally wrong TO attempt to pro-
long the contest.
But as these reasons existed in modi-
fed form after Sedan, and were more
palpable after Strasburg, they may not
even be seen by the blind men who, for
the moment, control the destinies of the
unhappy empire even after Metz. :
Prince Charles lost no time in moving
heavy masses Of his troops toward Paris,
even before the articles Of capitulation
had been signed. His army is very for
midable. A force capable Of compelling
the surrender Of $50, 600 men will be no
inconsiderable reinforcement for the army
now threatening Paris. His troops can
be so posted as 10 prevent the possibility
Of introducing supplies, or may join in
the'assault if such be made. He will be able
to replace the forces sent OFF to Orleans,
Tours, and other important points, and
thus enable the Prussians to overTun the
whole country. The prediction made
some time since that the Uhlans would
be able to water their horses i'll every
stream in Franco, seems near its fulfill
ment There is but one thing that can
now stay the Prussian conquest, and send
the German veterans across the Rhine.
That is, submission OF the part Of the
French to such terms as King William
may propose.

them. We do not know whether they are
Of the Stewart, Magnolia, Charter Oak or
Brilliant pattern; but whatever they are,
the Prussian hero will know how to turn
them to a good account Perhaps the
poor people Of Metz, who have been
cooped up by the Prussians since July,
are out of skillets, so that a brisk demand
exists in the market. At all events, it IS
evident that the ''report from London
has not ''dissipated' any Of the ''clouds'
referred to, but is most likely to end IL
cloud of smoke.
We await with some anxiety the views
of Antelope on this great stove question.
It is commended by some that he will
prove that Prince Carls order for the
stoves and skillets has greatly depressed
United States bonds, while others are
quite as positive that bonds have gone
down to about the price Of paper stock
in consequence Of King Williams dis
patch. Without being entirely able TO
understand all of Antelopes reasons, We
may say that we think so too.
But Metz has fallen. Eli the dispatches
to and from Tours; all the plausible rea-
sons urged by the apologists for Trancein
both continents; all the 10000 troops
under Bazaine could not save the devoted
fertilization from the unmatched force OF
TIE princely Charles Frederick. His
splendid army will now be liberated from
sentinel duty on the frontier, and can be
sent to join the main body Of Prussians
operating before Paris, unless he is inter
cepted and checked in his march by the
women, children and priests who are re-
ported to have risen against the invaders.

Information has been received at the
Revenue Bureau, from the Fourth District
Of Tennessee, to the effect that band of
disguised men burned the mills OF James
Mullins, late member Of Congress, but now
collector of internal revenue. A LARGE
quantity OF grain was destroyed, together
with the entire buildings. The same band
then proceeded to the residence Of Mr..
Bradshaw, revenue agent, and endeavored
to kill him. Mr., Bradshaw, having antici-
pated the attack, escaped by his rear door,
and volley fred at him fortunately did
no injury. These lawless acts were com
mitted in revenge for the suppression OF
certain illicit distilleries, which 6ad been
seized by Collector Mullins upon Brad
shaw's information. The latter gentleman
was nm officer in the Confederate army.

the meeting there of brokers last evening
a gold sale Of $4,000 at II ], and security
sale of $4,000 city new seven per cents at
49,, showing that the brokers possess the
negative quality above spoke of as SO ne
cessary in speculation-of knowing how
to bide their time.
During the day yesterday there were
sales Of $1,000 Of city new seven per cents
at 49,, and of $780, $500 and $4,000 do at
1873.
Of fiscal agencies, 5000 and $1,000 Of
July 16 sold at67
Metropolitan variants showed a great
range depending somewhat on the guam
tity sold; $500 of blue ones were reported
as low as S43, while $50 sold at Sc, $4,000
at So, and $500 at 49,; $500 old brought
9S1.
In State warrants nothing was reported
but sale of $500 at n
Though numerous offers were made at
the board for various kinds of bank stock,
the only sale heard of on the street was
fifteen shares Of Teutonia at $50.
Barbarin Gas Light stock was active at
an advance, 10 shares selling at $50; 3 at
III; 10 at 1872, and 5 at 155. Like the
Spectator who got rich on hops and hop
ped from obscurity, this stock is rapidly
initiating the pockets of its owners. Evi-
IDENTIFY ii is not bubble, but reality-a
company in e9se, and not in posse, rs the
lawyers say. 1t may not be considered
an unnatural initiation, however, consider
ing the general success Of gas companies.
At all events, this is not one Of the com
modities referred 10 as being ''at the
worst. " When things ere at their worst,
they viii mend, is q common proverb.
The trouble is to know when a stock is at
its best, and exactly when at its worst.
Major Williamson, of the New Orleans,
Chattanooga and Mobile Railroad, re-
marked on Carondelet street yesterday,
that the gap Of six miles unfinished be-
tween this city and Mobile has been re-
duced to sir rails, which will be laid to-
day, and trains viii be able to go through
to Mobile at.once. As much ballasting is
yet to be done, however, to perfect the
road, only single train will be run daily
until this work is completed and the road
left free from obstruction Of workmen
ballasting. Ho. for grand opening day
to Mobile.
In addition to the sales above noted,
80 shares Hibelnia Bank sold at S67, and
IS Carrollton Railroad at $40.

An Arkansas genius conceived that mon
KEYS would, on account of their ninble fin
gers, make splendid cotton pickers with
little training, and further calculated that
one good hand could manage about ten
monkeys, and the expense OF cotton picking
reduced to minimum. When the eXpen
ment was tried, however, it was found that
instead Of one good hand being able to
manage ten monkeys. it required about ten
good hands to one monkey.
