The Huropean wan.

Almost every dispatch during
the last week has brought unfa-
vorable news for France. After
the battles Of Worth, Weissen-
berg and Haganau, there was
great dissatisfaction throughout
France, and for a day or two it
seemed that Paris would, of itself,
end the war by declaring against
Napoleon. The defeats were
charged to bad generalship, and
the popular clamor against Ma
poleon was intense-one member
of the Corps Legislatif even GO
ing so far as to openly advocate
his abdication. The effect of the
demonstrations by the people has
been the retirement of Marshal
LeBouef from command, and the
ministry of Olivier has been re-
placed by an entirely new one,
with Count Palikao at his head,
while Marshal Bazaine is now
Commander-in- Chief of the French
Army. Napoleon is still with the
army and we presume he is in
command, though it is stated that
he is not. 1t can hardly be that
Napoleon, as Emperor of France,
would remain with a French ar
my that would not be commanded
by him. While there are many
Frenchmen who would like to
see Napoleon dethroned, they
love France none the less, and
now that the Prussians are In
French territory, they have but
the one desire, which is to retrieve
their recent disasters and drive
the Prussians out.
As the details of the battles ar
rive, bad generalship, it is true, il
shown, but the French fought al
they always do, and were only
beaten by being outnumbered.-
That the Prussians did not more
speedily follow up their victories
is good evidence that they were
severely punished. The Prus
slams officially admit their losses
to be ''heavy," while one dispatch
from Prussian sources says they
lost more than double the numbel
of the French in killed.
The French have evacuated
Nancy, while Strasburg is be-
sieged by the Prupsians. 1t is al
so reported that McMahon's corps
is cut off from communication
with the main army. Nspoleon'i
situation is anything but fiatter'
ing, and it is highly probable that
he may be forced to still fall back.
Of course q heavy battle may be
fought any day, and while the
chances of ii wonld now be in ia
vor of the Prussians, it is useless
to speculate as to the result. Tbs
Prussians will fight in full conf
dence of their recent victories
while the French will battle with
determined desperation. An
other week will probably determine
the result of the war, if indeet
the days of the Napoleonic dynas
ty are not already numbered.
A battle was fought near Net.
on Sunday and victory claimed
by both parties. aAnother battle
on Monday is reported, in which
the Prussians were victorious.
A desperate battle was in pro
gress all of last Thursday. The
Prussians assailed the French en-
trenchments at Metz, and the car
mage was fearful. The Prussiar
loss was equal to the whole French
force engaged-a Prussian dis
patch says it was "terrible" an.
other says the relative loss was
ten to one. A few more such
battles and the Dutch will be SC
greatly reduced, as to enable the
French, who are far inferior in
numbers, to assume the aggressive

Miller being absent, Mr.. Cross who

repaired the boots, but in making
change he unfortunately exposed
some bills in bis pocket book. After
paying for the work they went out,

one Of them asked to be measured for

down TO take the measure one Of them
struck him over the head with some

A NEW BSsERPRIsE.- We are
pleased to learn that q number Of
capitalists have associated themselves
together, and organized a company,
under the Dame and title Of the
"Roaring Run Coal Company with
capital Of 100000. This company
has secured 400 acres Of land along
the railroad, about q miles cast of
this place, and are now operating.
The veins Of coal are between three
and -four feet thick, and yield a very
superior quality Of Bituininous coal.
and by the time the spring opens this
company will ship large quantity of
coal. A little prospecting has demon
strated that every hill on both sides Of
the railroad on Roaring Run, is full OF
coal, and that it can be mined and
taken to market every day the year
round, ut handsome profit to the
operators.
