THE WAR NEWS.

We give this week all the news Of
any importance that has been received
concerning the movements Of the
French aud German armies. As will
be seen, three great battles have been
fought on French soil, in each of which
Napoleon has suffered inglorious defeat.
Instead of forcing the war upon the
soil Of Prusais, As had been his boosted
purpose, he is put, by the energy of
the enemy and his own incompetency,
entirely upon the defensive. Positions
held by his forces have been wrested
from him, and the struggle on bis part
is to save Paris. Ten days ago, he
telegraphed to the Empress ridiculous
seutimeutality about the Imperial Baby
receiving "his first baptism Of fire, !"
and "pickiDg up a bullet" while
"the soldiers wept" all caused by tri-
fling skirmish in which the French
captured 4 dozen guns. Now he tele-
graphs to an excited ministry and an
Infatuated populace that in three great
battles his finest troops have been de-
featod With heavy loss and compelled
TO retreat.
The reports show that the troops Of
the minor German States are fighting
enthusiastically under the lead Of King
William, of Prussia; and thus war has
brought about in few days what has
been labored for for years-a United
Germany; just as war brought to o.
what all other means had fai'cl to Sc.
cure-the Free United States. Thu,
spirit Of unity among his enemies il
not more disastrous to Napoleon than il
the division which exists in his OWL
empire, and it is not difficult to read
that bis dynasty is nearly at an end
Tho latest dispatches indicate thai
the German forces are concentrating 70,
an attack upon Metz, and terrible
battle is daily anticipated.

The statement of the Gaulios of
secret alliance between France and Italy
and the expected reinforcement of 1OO,-
600 Italian troops is certainly false.
No matter what the King may have
promised, bis troops would not march.

THE ROAD To MANKATO.

The Minneapolis Tribune gives the
substance of the article in last weeks
JOURNAL on the St. Cloud and Man.
kato railroad, and adds:
"The more tho merrier but as We shall
have road graded the present fall from
here to Carver, in the Minnesota Valley,
hadn't st. Cloud better be content to reach
this new and desirable field ola Minneapolis
and the shorter cut we are making through
the Minneapolis and St. Louis road?"
St. Cloud would be very willing to
cooperate with Minneapolis in the con-
struction of a road on the west side of
the Mississippi, to connect this city
with that. And we believe the time is
not far distant when such a road will
be built, affordiug large and productive
tracts Of country in Hennepiu, Wright
and Stearns counties, and counties con-
tiguous, desirable outlet which they
do not now possess. If it shall further
provide St. Cloud with shorter and
better connection with the coal fields of
Iowa and the st. Louis market than
can be obtained via Mankato, very
good. But tho necessity for the Man
kato road would still remain. The
other road would be too c;rcu;tous to
afford any marked relief to the lumber
ing interests, neither would it serve the
agricultural population thickly settled
along the proposed line. A road to
CONNECT tho Mississippi and Minnesota,
on the short line between St. Cloud
and Mankato-tho point where the
great pine forests supplies above can be

ExTE OF GRANTS AID
MTNISTRATION.

The estimates of the heads or depart
ments Of the appropriations necessary to
meet the expenses of the government
during the fiscal year beginning the LIST of
July next, are more than forty millions in
excess of those for the present year,
which were made by the Johnson admin
istration, and largely in excess of the ex-
penditures of the closing year of Mr..
Johnson's administration. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
.ettc (RadicaD says:
'The Government estimates of this
year were evidently made out by persons
who thought the Republican party
D1Cdgcd TO extravaganza, instead Of
economy. Ii is not pleasant TO say this,
hut the truth must be told. The aggre-
gate OF the estimates is astonishmgly, not
to say Outrageously large, and it would be
wrong in Congress TO make corresponding
appropriations for the next fiscal year.
Mr.. Dawes, radical, of Massachusetts,
Chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priations, made speech in the House of
Representatives on the 18th inst, on the
extravaganza OF the adminisu alton, which
''was received with establishment in all
parts of the House" The Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
says:
"There hasn't been any such excite
mcut here for long time as Dawes made
by his speech this afternoon 1t was a
bold and searching examination and con
domination of the departments for the eX-
travagance of their estimates to meet the
expenses of the coming year. He was
particularly severe on the Postmaster
General and the heads of bureaus in the
Navy Department. 1t is proper to add
that Mr.. Dawes did not determine to
make this exposure till he had visited the
various departments and urged revision
and reduction of the estimates, and il is
understood he even went to the President
and talked with him about The matter.
The speech was listened to with closest
interest by everybody in the House and
galleries

'The weak eateth herbs, says st. Paul, SO that
800 years ago the value Of medicinal plants was
appreciated In the Old Testament botanical rem

sage of sacred history is man recommended to
swallow calomel or blue pin, or any other mineral
preparation. The sick were directed to eat herbs
to strengthen them, to purify them, to heal them,
to restore them. In that day the art of making
vegetable extracts was unknown. The herbal med
icines were mere infusions.
1t was reserved for later age to unite the sanj-
tary essences of tonic, aperient and anti-bilious
roots, barks and plants, with active stimulant,
and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the
debiitated or disordered system. The crowning
triumph of this effective mode of concentrating

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer states that Judge
Jerry Black has written a spirited letter
to Attorney General Hoar in reference to
his remarks on Monday in The Supreme
Court on Mr.. Stanton, wherein he alluded
TO the other former members of Mr.. BuCh-
anan's cabinet as secret ploters Of treason.
Judge Black, who was then in that cabi-
net, thinks that this is a reflection wholly
unwarranted by the facts, and be calls
upon Mr.. Hoar TO subsiantiatc his asser-
tons. Judge Black has written another
letter of a more public character, in which
he states that while Gen. Dix, Judge
Holt, and himself, as members Of the
cabinet, we're working almost night and
day against secession, their colleague,
Mr.. Stanton, held himself in a subordinate
position, and took no aggressive ground
at that time
