TIE CRITICAL SITUATYON or NM4HONS
ARNY.

THE CRITICAL SITUATYON or pMAHONS
ARMY.
There is nothing confrmatOry of the re-
ports of a great battle on the Meuse between
the Crown Prince of Prussia and MacMahOn
which yesterday agitated the city, unless the
dispatch which announces fighting at Dun On
Sunday be accepted as such. 1t is not imprOb-
able that the advance guards of MacMahOn and
Prince Frederick Charles met at that point
and disputed the passage of the Meuse, but
the information is at present too indefinite to
base such a conclusion upon.
W. are fully informed, however, OF the
northward movement of the Crown Prince, In
pursuit of MacMahon, whom it now seems
the purpose of the Prussians to destroy as
Bazaine was destroyed. MacMahOn's army
lies between Rethel and Stenay, facing south
and east, with the Belgian frontier at its
back. His design has been to cross the Meuse.
Whether h. has been halted remains to be
seen. The Crown Prince advances from the
direction of Chalons, and is in MacMahOu's
front, while Prince Frederick William is ease
of the Meuse prepared to contest bis passage.
The situation of MacHahon is very danger
GUS one, and defeat will leave him
with difficult line of retreat. His movement
to the north becomes more inexplicable the
more clearly it is revealed.
In the mean time Won Steinmetz confines
Bazaine to the defenses of Metz, and the
Prussian Landwehr invest Thionville, the most
northern defense of the line of the Moselle.
The advance on Paris is evidently postponed
until the results of the movements against
MacMahon are known. The Prussian cavalry
demonstrate by several roads in the direction
of Paris, but there is no evidence of the adj
vance of the infantry.

1t takes dozen falsehOOds to cover one
lie badly told, and so it is incumbent on The
World, after figuring French victories out of
the ten engagements recently fought on French
soil. in much the same way that its Arithmetic
Man used to figure "DemOcratic gains" out of
overwhelming Republican victories, to prove
that the Prussian war loan is a failure. Its
column of assertion needs only one thing to
give it fOrce-foundation in fact The truth is
that though the FIVE per cent war loan was
originally issued at S8, it was quoted in Ham,
burg on the 10th inst. at OH and Git, and sold
At 90. The Treasurer of the North German
Confederation, on that date, ordered the sub
scrintion books to be closed declining to sell
ary more of the bonds at ~, az the offers pre-
viously made were largely in excess OF the
wants of the Government.

Bishop Bayley of Newark, N. j., stigmatizes
the newspaper reports of the doings and de-
alterations of the late Gcumenical Council in
the Vatican as sensational and inaccurate. We
believe this statement substantially true, and
yet not quite fair. The press is not justly CEN
surable for doing the very best in its power.
1t pleased the master-spirits of the Roman
Catholic Church to have the Council deliberate
in secret We do not complain of this-they
had right to do in the premises as they saw
fit-but, in shutting out our reporters and cor
respondents, they virtually forced upon them
the ungracious position of eaves-droppers,
picking up an intimation here, hint there,
and piecing them ont by assumption and con-
lecture. Every leading journal would have
much preferred to give accurate and perfect
reports; but the Council said Veto so we did
the best we could. We do not complain and
we submit that the Bishop should not. If he
chose to arraign us at the bar of public opin-
ion, he should have stated all the essential
facts,

Mr.. Abram s. Hewitt partner Of Peter
Cooper aspires, we learn, to the Democratic
nomination for Congress in the With Paterson)
District of New-Jersey, now represented by
honest and faithful John Hill. Mr.. Hewitt
has extensive business connections in that
district, and, if nominated, will prove a strong
candidate. He is a very capable and successful
iron MASTER in which capacity he has acquired
wealth and 1--WE think) at the same time been
useful to his country. He is, moreover, an
able and lucid writer, and his two reports on
the progress and condition of Iron-making in
this country are among the clearest and most
convincing arguments extant for Protective
Tariff. According to these Reports, our
country must take her choice Of these alter
natives;
i. Surrender all hope of farther progress and
ultimate perfection in Eon-making; or
Q. Reduce the average recompense OF her
Labor, skilled and unskilled, to the standard

There has been one particularly mean thing
done in Georgia which we believe that we
have not noticed There is in that State an
Agricultural Society of Georgia, most exclu-
sive association of white tillers of the sofia
Society which, we believe, has some State aid
These gentlemen farmers have been in great
tribulation lest the black farmers should man
age to become members; and 30 they have
recently adopted rule that no person shall
be admitted unless recommended by the Ex-
ecutive Committee and subsequently accepted
by the Society. 1t has been publicly stated
that the object of this rule is to exclude the
colored men of the State. Considering that
but for these very colored men, there never
would have been, and would not be
now, any occasion for an Agricultural
Society in Georgia; considering that now
so many of them are farmers with hold
ings of their own, one hardly knows
whether to laugh or be angry at these absurd
proceedings.
