VIRGINIA s TENNESSEE RAILROAD.

The Germans Advance upon
| Paris.

A great battle has been fought, and
the French have lost, disastrously
lost, and are retreating in disorder,
with the matter in doubt as to wheth-
or the French forces can again close
their lines and unite before falling
back upon Paris.
Napoleon calls upon tho people to
rise and save the country! Field
Marshal McMahon has lost the lau-
rels gained at Magenta and dies be-
fore tho victorious Prussians.
The chief fighting seems TO have
occurred on Sunday last. As we have
before indicated, we believe that the
French soldiery cannot rally from
defeat; that their ignorance begets
superstition, and defeat spreads q
gloom over their minds, which de.
presses them beyond redemption,
and they are ready to yield whether
really beaten beyond recovery or not.
Again Napoleon's government alb
solutely depends upon his success
without defeats. There is little or
no recuperative power in it to strug.
gle against reverses.
I
If the reports of this last conflict
are true, we believe the issue of bat.
tie is already virtually determined
in favor Of the Prussians.

John Faith. editor Charlton Demo-

quet as follows: .........
We were entertained aud made the
recipients of o most splendid banquet,
at the hands of the citizens OF Of
tumwa.g An address of welcome was
delivered by Mayor Littleton, ct the
BalliDgall House, ard Hon. John r.
Irish Of Iowa City, responded in De-
half OF the press. The banquet, At
Taylor & Elako's hall was not gotten
through with until long after mid
night, and when the end was finally
reached the editors present wero the
most happy set of mortals that VIC
ever saw. Pete Ballingall was the
major-gencral commanding at the
banquet, and we know we arc safe in
saving that no town in Iowa ever
got up anything in tho way Of q pub
lie reception that would compare
with it. The supply Of good things
to eat and drink was unlimited, and
the variety included everything that
could be thought Of, or that money
could buy. We had fruits from the
tropics, meats from the far west pra-
ries, fish from the Pacific, and wines
from California and tho Rhine. The
banquet over with, the members Of
the party were taken in charge by
various citizens, who took them to
their homes. Joe. Temple having

From Cedar Rapids.

DIR. McClelland, tho accomplished
editor of the Cedar Rapids Times, has
the following of the reception and of
Ottumwa
awe should like to say moro about
Ottumwa and her enterprising and
hospitable Inhabitants but the fact
is, we can't say half what we feel, nor
can we give any intelligent idea OF
how perfectly, fully, heartily and
magnificently the Editors Of Iowa
were entertained here suffice it to
say that every thing that could be
done to make US not only perfectly
comfortable but decidedly happy,
was done, and not only done, but
done perfectly throughout, and on q
scale SO much grander than We had
any reason TO anticipate, that If the
party was not agreeably surprised
each individual momber Of it was, at
least, lawfully tiokled," and lett feel
ing that tho citizens Of Ottumwa
had hearts as big as their hills. OF
tumwa presents many evidences Of
rapid and substantial progress in the
shape OF new residences and business
houses, large mercantile establish
ments, and other valuable improve.
ments throughout the entire city
A company-of which Mr.. J. $.
Wolf is one-is constructing an iron
bridge across tho Des Moines here,
the piers Of which are finished, and
the work of putting down the super
structure progressing rapidly. When
completed this will be an important
addition to OttumwA and will add
greatly to her business interests. =
We would like to say moro Of this
enterprising and fourishing city, one
among the first in the State, but
time and space forbids. 49,, =. !
