SENSATION WAR REPORTS.--The French
account of the affair at Weissenburg
makes out that it was small matter, as
they report but few troops engaged.
The Prussians are said to be 642, 900
strong-the troops mostly on the Rhine.
4sle French claim that the dread mitrail-
leures are doing fatal work against
their foes. The people of America de-
sire only the plain unvarnished truth
from tho seat of war, and have. no inte-
rest to misrepresent either side. It is to
be regretted, therefore, that some of the
New York papers. to which chiefly the
public look for Information of the pro-
gress of the two armies, should have
placed in tho field correspondents who
are both partisan and partial. The New
York 7'i6une's correspondent, especially,
evidently regards it as his mission to
write down Napoleon and say nothing
that is good of the French or their cause.
His despatch from Saarbruck, 25th ult.,
represents tho French army as in en-
starving condition" and forced to enter
the Prussian territory in search of pota-
toes, in order to keep themselves alive.
With the war just begun and the French
com,nissariat we'll supplied, everybody
must know that this story is false and
designed solely for effect. We observe
that the samo correspondent, speaking of
the small number of Prussian troops in
Saarbruck for several days previous,
which was doubtless unknown to the
enemy, remarks that the place was then
(29th) we'll garrisoned, and not so much
at the mercy of the French. a subse-
quent press despatch announces its cap-
ture. Commenting on this subject, the
Baltimore San says:
The news agent in England has tele-
graphed q statement of tho London Daily
Ne,rs that Gen. Lee and Gen. Beaure-
gard have applied for places in the
French army. a person of ordinary CO.
pacities of reflection, as the agent trans
mitting news over the great Atlantic
cable, especially in time of war, ought
to be, would only have noticed such
O statement to show It's ridiculous nb-
surdity.

The ENGLISH ARMY.-It is important
to notice that the statements lately made
concerning the military force which
Great Britain could place in the field are
extremely inaccurate. It is asserted that
her army consists of $4,000 men, where
as the total force of the United King
dom, on peace footing, consists of 127,-
33G men, exclusive of nearly 200, 900
volunteers. The total strength of the
British forces, at home and abroad,
again excluding volunteers, is 2O4, 158.
Combined with the English fleet, this
represents n strength quite adequate to
the defence of Belgium.

DEBT AND TAXES OF CHARLESTON
Charleston Ners has statement of the
debt OF that city, from which it appears
that in the year 1871, the interest is
S3OS, ,232, and the principal, falling duo
and past due, is $335,154. Adding to
these two sums only 100000 for the
current expenses of the city, which is
much less than the present expenditure
the aggregate amount required in the
fiscal year 1871, is no less than 81, ,O43,-
3S6. That is to say, the tax to be levied
to pay the principal and interest of the
debt. will amount to about 2 ID per cent.
of the total value of all the real and per-
sonal property in Charleston. And the
tax needed to pay, principal, interest and
current expenses, will be more than four
per cent.
