The War i'm EurOpe.


Marshal Bazaiue is said to have attempted
to cut his way out Of Metz, on the 23d inst.
In the direction Of Thionville, and after &
sharp fight seven miles from the city, wa:
driven back. He released all the Prussiar
prisoners which had been captured, indicating
that be had no provisions for them.
The official report Of NJ. Favre concerning
his mission to the Prussian headquarters il
the interests of peace, concludes with the
general averment that from the manner ir
which all his efforts were met it is evident the
Germans are simply determined upon con.
quest. The nation, he says, must now rise
en- masse, either to disavow the Provisional
Government or resist the enemy to the last.
The surrender Of Strasbourg, with the gar.
rison Of 451 officers and 1909 troops took
place on Wednesday. Its fall releases fol

troops who have constituted the beseiging
force.
Skirmishing, without appreciable results
continues around Paris. Reports from Eng
lish and Prussian sources represent the con-
tinuance of insubordination and riot among
the mobiles and rabble in Paris. but French
statements reverse the story, aud maintain
that "Paris is calm."
The reported war preparations of Russia
are exciting much attention. The army oil

a movement made toward the Turkish border

peal to them in the name of our past history
a pure and unspotted record-now exposed to
the dark stain of degrading supremacy, and
in the name of our common origin and pride
of race, to meet and grapple with the malignant
spirits of fanaticism and discord, which are
seeking by foul and unnatural methods the des-
truction of peace, order, good will and pros
perity among us.
And appeal to the people, collectively and
individually, to take heed of what is going on
around them, and to reflect that if the wicked
designs now meditated against them be once
consummated there is but little hope of recov-
cry. Even if time should restore to US the
prize we shall have lost, it will be in corrupt
ed shape, for the hold of fanaticism, like the
viper's fang, is never released until the poison
is infused within. 1t is common to hear intelli-
gent men speak despairingly or disgustfully Of
the situation and declare their intention of not
voting. Their pride, they say, revolts at the
exercise of right shared by interiors who do
not, by nature or fitness, possess it. This
course would be proper if any advantage could
be secured thereby; it might be tolerated if no
harm could ensue therefrom; but since it can
work nothing but mischief it is objectionable
and should put their intelligence and manhood
to the blush. How weak to argue that we will
not indulge right because another has usurp-
ed the claim With equal propriety we might
scorn to practice virtue because an inferior
pretended to the same. I entreat every man to
discard such puerile reasoning, and resolve to
give not only his vote but his voice of encour-
agement in this momentous crisis. If his own
interest and welfare should not be sufficient to
move him, the duty which every citizen owes
to the community of which he is a member
should prompt him to exert every effort in its
behalf, and every pure minded and public spir-
tied individual would scorn to withhold this
aid
Let US all, then, put our shoulders to the
wheel and push the car, freighted with such
precious hopes, out of the quicksands which
threaten to bury it. By wise and prudent
course, and the indefatigable exercise Of every
appliance within our power, we may escape the
infamous thraldom preparing for us, and be a.
gain as we once were, the masters of our for
tunes, broken and paralyzed though they are,
and of the natural, exclusive right Of regulat.
ing and disposing Of them according to ou1
own pleasure. But if the utter disregard now
manifested by our people continue to prevail
they will, ere long, awake to a new situation,
bound in the festers of Radical tyranny and en-.
veloped 10 the dark shadows of negro insolence
and domination. ONE OF THE PEOPLE

This is not surprising; for, apart from its
being found in most of our respectable Drug
Stores in the cities and country, and its being
strongly recommended by the physicians, the
mild and agreeable taste of this article, con-
trasted with the strong, pungent and actial
sensation produced on the palate by the COM
mon deleterious article-which is now the
general complaint of nearly all the medical
faculty of this country would, of itself, suf-
fee to give it the decided preference. If pre-
scribed as medicine, it is not bad to take

judges to be superior to any article of the

Baltimore Corresonpdence.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27, 1870.
Your correspondent, apo!ogizing for his
long silence (which apology the readers of the
Times may think altogether unnecessary and
excusing his delinquencies on the ground of
absence from the city, and other causes, too
numerous to mention, each of which, howev-
er. be regards as perfectly legitimate, would
resume bis jottings of current events transpir-
ing in Baltimore.
The present week promises to be one of
unual activity. Large numbers of strangers
are here from all parts of the country, and
especially from Maryland and Virginia.
Many are here for the purpose of attending
the Agricultural and Mechanical Exhibition,
which commenced at the Pimlco grounds
this morning, while numbers of the country
merchants and others have deferred coming
on to make their purchases until the present
time, in order that they might have the op-
portunity of transacting their business affairs
aud of attending the Fair also. This is the
second exhibition of the kind that has been
held on the Pimlico grounds, and it seems to
have created lively interest in this and por-
tions of the adjoining States. Liberal prem
iums have been offered in order to stimulate
commendable rivalry among those placing
stock and articles on exhibition, and, so far,
the indications are that the present Fair will
be superior to anything of the kind ever held
in the State. Quite liberal purses are also
offered for the fastest trotters in trials of speed
which will be made daily. This will, per-
haps, be one Of the most attractive features of
the exhibition. Arrangements have been
made by the Northern Central Railroad Com
pany, by which parties can reach the grounds
and return, at any hour in the day, at the
low rate of thirty-fve cents. This is decld-
! ed improvement on the extortionating rates
charged by parties running conveyances last
year. The Maryland Institute Fair is also
progressing, with fair amount of success
These fairs, however, do not seem to be as
popular as they were formerly.
The registration of our African citizens has
been completed, and hundreds OF the sable
