The rrussian plans Frustrated.

CINCINNATI, August 23.-The Enquir
er of to-day has the following specia
dispatch:
New York, August 2a.-Pnyate ad
vices received here from Paris say that
Mcmahon, with the French army lately
at Chhlons, has completely turned the
tables on the Crown Prince.
The Prussian plan was to keep Bazaint
at Metz, using for this purpose the ar
mics of Steinmetz and Prince FrcdericE
Charles. The Crown Prince was te
march around, lay siege to Verdun and
cut Bazaine's communication with Cha
Ions. The whole Prussian army would
then be between the French armies, which
would be crushed in detail.
The French change of front from the
line of the Moselle to that of Metz and
Verddn was a serious blow to the Prus-
sian programme. To carry it out and
get upon Bazaine's flank, the Crown
Prince was now compelled to make 8
long and perilous detour, while his own
communications with the King were laid
open. This is the key to the continued
assault upon 9azaine. Cost what il
might, Bazaine had to be kept at Metz
and Verdun, even though the Prussians
did lose 150, 900 men.
But McMahon at Chalons had bet
ter army than was calculated upon
Sending back the Garde Mobile to Par
lis, he has with 10000 veterans thrown
himself between the army Of the Crown
Prince and that of the King, and effect
ed a junction at Verdun with Bazaine's
left wing.

EEGoverncr ScoTf, of South Carroll
ma, is preparing feg the Congressional
elections.
He is arming and drilling his Negro
militia steadily rejecting all white sol
diers who offer their services. He har-
rangues his Negro troops telling that
the whites intend, in October to vote
them back into slavery.
Among the recent arrivals at Charles
ton is schooner with powder for Scorr,
despatched, it is said, by order Of Presi-
dent GRANT.
Is it not humlliating that 8 great party
can sustain the authors of such outrages
in this free country without being utterly
destroyed? 1t is piece of shameless
limpudence to pretend that the ballot
governs q State in which the bayonet
governs the ballot.

Neutrality Proclamation.

President GRANT has issued q procla-
nation declaring the neutrality of the
United States in the present war in Et;-
rope The President warns citizens or
foreigners resulting within the limits of
this country from organizing military
expeditions TO aid either of the belliger-
onts, and where citizens of the United
States, outside Of the jurisdiction of the
country take part in the hostilitics, they
can no longer claim protection from this
government.
This is a very cffectual Offset to the
demagegicai resolution of the Ohio
Radical Convention. Whether that reso-
luton was meant in good faith, or inten-
ded merely as cheap BAIT with which
to catch few votes,it is now completely
neutralized.
If it was meant in good faith, its only
means of accomplishing anything was
by influencing the administration to
show partiality to Prussia. President
GRANT, the power to be Influenced, pro-
claims that "all persons within the juris-
diction of the United States shall remain
at peace with each of said belligerents,
and shall maintain strict and impartial
neutrality, and that whatever privileges
shall be accorded to one belligerent
within the ports Of the United States
shall be in like manner accorded to the
other"
If the resolution was designed as Q
partisan scheme to turn sympathy will
Prussia into support of Radical Office
hunters, the proclamation of the official
head of the Radical party is fatal to that
trick
The whole affair forcibly reminds one
of the story of the man who tried to
play the rogue, but found, IN the end
that he had-only played the fool.

Losses lin Great European Battles.

The following list gives, approximate
ly, the losses sustained in killed and
wounded in some of the great battles of
Europe during and since the first NAPo-
Icons time:
At Marengo (lS00) there were $4,000
French and 10000 Austrians; $4,000
killed or wounded: 22as per cent.
AT Austerlitz, 10000 French, $4,000
Austnans and Russians $4,000 killed or
wounded; 13f per cent.
At jena, 100000 French, 100000
Prussians; 1000 killed or wounded; II
per cent. ar 1875
AT Wagram, 10000 French, 10000
Austrians; 4.600 killed or wounded; 9
per cent.
At Borodino, Ia, 900 French, 125, ,00C
Russians; $4,000 killed or wounded ;32
per cent.
At Leipzig, 100000 French, 25O,oot
allies $4,000 killed or wounded, II pei

AT Waterloo, $4,000 French, GO,O0(

600 Austrians and Saxons; $4,000 killed
or wounded; Z per cent
At Sadowa, 100000 men engaged
killed Or wounded S3,00O;tS per cent
The losses during the war in the Cri
mea and our civil war averaged very
nearly with the foregoing.
Although we have no reliable state
ments of the numbers engaged, or the
losses sustained, in the war new raging
between Prussia and France, there is rea
son to believe, from the fury with which
both parties fight, that the slaughter is
greater than that of any war for GEN.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Editor Republican,

Editor Republican,
In your paper not long since you seem
almost inclined to recommend the pur-
chase of a steam fire engine. Take anot her
tack. one in which the hard times, the
bonds, &C., will not be in the way. Sug-
gest the idea of no insurance, and of using
a portion of the money now paid in the
city to insurance companies to pay men to
watch-one-half or one-third of it would
post a sentinel on every corner, supply
them with buckets and open tanks of WA
ter. Take the idea and elucidate it. No
man will presume that we Should not be
safer from fires then than now, even with a
steam engine added to our present force.
The fact is we. are too small to man and
manage large force of engines To make
them effective Ene men must be dressed, the
engines fred up aud ready at the first round
of the bell. We can't afford it the best
we can do, we shall rarely save the first
building-may prevent the spread Of fire
| where in the other course a timely dash OF
| a few buckets of water will often save even
! the first.
| Spread the idea, and start something
new; make the people believe enough can
be saved in this way to pay our bonds in
20 years-it wont be hard to cipher that
out. Try it and help FRIEND.
P. S. In this way, there would be no n
ducements, nor much danger of having fires
not accidental, which, take the country
through, start two thirds of the condagra-
! tons.

With its large type, its Boys and Girls
Column, and it well conducted Agricutu-
raj Department, it is just suited for the
masses. Though its name indicates that it
is Soldiers paper, but yer y little space is
devoted to Soldiers matter, yet in that small
space set apart for that purpose, is always
comprised an expose Of injustice done to the
s'BoyS in Blue" and demand for justice.

the Madison Journal is one of the most
readable anu interesting papers in the State,
but more especially is this the case during

This is marked and popular feature in the
paper, and in connection with the high or
der of ability displayed in its editorial col
umns, and the publication of the latest tel
agraph news, makes it a newspaper OF more
than usual interest to the people of Wiscon-

its future success and prosperity, and may
it live many years credit to the Press of

HORSE THIEVES AROUND.-On
Thursday evening last bold attempt was
made to steal a horse from the barn of Mr..
John Perry, in the town of Ixonia. A little
after dark, one of Mr.. Perry's sons discovered
the barn door open, which was somewhat
mysterious, it having been fastened a short
time before. On going to learn the
cause, man was seen to run from the prem
ises in great haste. On entering the barn, the
favorite horse of Mr.. Perry was found proper.
ly rugged for the road with saddle and bride.
The boy thinks there was more than one en-
gagged in the business. Mr.. Perry was ab-
sent in Milwaukee at the time, circun-
stance perhaps known to the thieves.

H S. MANvILLE-Last week the
Milwaukee reporter Of the Chicago Times
announced to that paper the failure Of H.
S. Manville, the large Yankee Notion Deal
er of Milwaukee, and formerly of our city.
The report had no foundation in truth, and
was denied by Mr.. Manville, and that gem
tleman demanded of the Times the name of
the person who started the story, and re
quested that the denial of the failure be
published twice in every edition of the
Times in which the fabrication appeared.
The announcement that Mr.. NJ is still
'right side up and sound, willss be received
with great qualification by our citizens,
among whom Mr.. Manville was so long and
favorably known. Read an article from
