Telegra4sllic Sssnal mary.

BRUssELs, August 13.-Advices
from Metz, through private channels,
seem to confirm the story of the removal
Of the Prince Imperial from France.
He has not been seen ia court or church
since Sunday. Il is reported, on good
authorityrthat Eugene has made prep
arations to 20 to England, by way of
Belgium, 10 case Of necessity.
LoNDoN, August l3 A SPECIAL to
the Telegraph says reports from Carl
shue this morning announce the eapitu
lation of. Strasbourg after short bonn
bardment.
Sharp fighting took place in front Of
Metz yesterday. A considerable force
of Prussians advanced into the enyirons
of the city as reconnoitering party,
to discover if .he report of the town
having been evacuated by the French
was true. They were taken by surprise
by fire from the batteries, and forced
20 retire.
It would appear that. the Prussian
advance has received a decided check
dt tHts Poiut. auu great udItic Cauuul
much longer be delayed.
PARIS, Aug. l3.-Dispatches to
the Minister of War say that recent
reconnaissance made near the enemy
indicate that the Prussians have an in
vading army of 10000 men between
Cologne and Rastadt. The chiefs of
the French army are fully prepared to
resist this torrent of invasion. Over
400 900 troops will in day or two be
united between the Vosges and the
Moselle. The bulk of the French
army is DOW concentrated around Metz,
where the first detachment of the corps
Of Mcmahon and Failley arrived yes
teriay.
The retreat of the troops was made
in good order
The abandonment of Alsace by the
French causes great anxiety, aud dis
content at and near Strasbourg. That
place is well provided for in war material
and provisions, but the garrison. it is
feared, will not be able to hold out long.

Iowa WHEAT.-The Iowa Registe

Iowa WHARF.-The Iowa Register
of July eth, speaking of the wheat
prospects in that State, says:
The month of July closes wcll agri-
culturally. Through May and June
wa thought We were in fearfully bad
row of stumps. All the prophets aud
all the oldest inhabitant agreed that We
were to have no wheat and oats worth
cutting. The opinion became general,
and times were blue. But the proph.
cts werc wrong. Timely showers came
and the crop of small grains was saved
It's harvest has now been in progress
for two or three weeks, and is prob-
ably, taking the whole State over,
three .fourths done. In Southern Iowa
cutting is about done, stacking we'll
started, and threshing begun in the
North, this will be the busy week, and
will nearly finish up the cutting OF
the wheat, there is but one report all
over the State, which is to the effect
that, while the yield is not so great in
bushels, it is of the best, being the
plumpest, frmest, and brightest ever
raised in the State. The crop per acre
viii be worth more than any We have
had for several years, and the prospect
is if Napoleon and the prussians carry
out the big job of war they have COM
menoed. that it will bring the most
money our wheat crop has ever
brought. Old residents say they have
never seen wheat OF such superior
quality in Iowa.

WHAT SONG SHALL 1T BE.

What shall it be? What song
viii win your fancy, dear,
And move your heart to sing
As mine is moved to hear?
Shall it be gay or sad
Bright as the linnets' strain,
Or full of unwashed tears,
That doaden life with pain?
I touch the keys and wait,
Watching those dreamy eyes,
That hide their thoughts, as stars
Are hid in biuest skies;
Ma furtive fash hctrays,
There is no tell>tale gleam;
Help me then, dear, to try
And read your waking dream.
Say, shall the song be ripe
With summers of the past,
With rosy blossoms shed,
With sunshine overcast?
Shall scenes and sounds that were
In pleasant memories strong,
And song give life again
The days when life was song?
Shall saddcr fancies find
An echo in the tone
'Till we are moved to weep
Ger saFFows not our ewnT
Or shall heroic deeds
Move us 10 fierce delight,
As wher a clarion thrills
The pulses OF the night?
Shall laughter bubbling rise,
Like streams that seaward 60,
And, prodigal of life,
Wrestlc To overflow?
Or, meath deeper spell,
Say, shall the music move,
Stirring the hearts OF ali
Shall it discourse of love?
All! dreamy eyes that hide
Their burning thoughts so well,
A burning check reveals,
A silent lip can tell,
What need 20 ask the strain
That youth to youth win bring?
Love it has ever sung,
Love it ever will sing.

Harrison and His Friends.

The letter to the Intellligencer, over
the signature of "a Republican" re-
printed in the REGISTER of this morn
ing, is one of the most remarkable doc.
uments lately given to the public.
Written at the suggestion, if not by the
pen, of Judge NAT HARRISON, it calmly
proposes to the Legislature a compro-
mise of the impeachment proceedings
now pending against that notorious in
dividual. The substance of the csm-
promise is that the Legislature shall
abandon the prosecution, allow HARRI.
SON to offer bogus resignation, and
then, the law providing that the Gov
ernor shall fill vacant judgeships for
the unexpired term being repealed, HAR.
RIsoN will go before the people on his
record next October and take the
chances of reelection.
The resignation proposed is to take
effect January LIST, 1871. This win leave
HARRISON in full possession, for nearly
year, Of the powers and influences Of
his position. By his past use of those
advantages he has controlled elections
in his Circuit as he pleased. As he pro,
poses to be in Office pending the cleo
tion at which he wants to submit his
case, he will be enabled through the
use of nefarious means to force through
the ballot-box an endorsement Of him.

tits claimed in the Intelligence. that as
he is sure of fair trial in body con.
tanning majority of his political
friends, be ought to waive the notice re-
quired by the Constitution and demand
an immediate trial.
After the extraordinary efforts that
have been made by the press oft city,
and the crowd of personal enemies that
are here from Greenbrier and Monroe to
prejudice the minds of his judges against
him, he does not believe he will have .
| fair trial
Amongst the charges against Judge
Harrison there is one that he required
judicial notice to be published in the
Monroe county Republican. And yet the
law makes it the duty of the Court
to make an order designating the paper
in which judicial notices ofcauses pend
ing in his Court shall be published.
presume every Circuit Judge in the
State has made just such an order. And
this frivolous and absurd charge is
gravely iudorsed by majority of beth
branches of the Legislature, for which
they propose to remove him from Oh
| fee.
This is an indication of the fairness
and impartiality which he has right to
expect at the hands of this Legislature.
ALI the other charges against him are,
when stripped of their denunciatory
verbiage, equally frivolous or false in
fact. The truth is that the Republican
members of the Legislature seem to be
paralyzed by the violence and vehem'
ence of the denunciations of his per-
sonal and political enemies.
Whilst l certainly do not suppose that
any member of the Legislature desires
to do Judge Harrison any injustice, it is
certain that their action thus far indi-
Gates feeling which is not favorable to
fair and impartial consideration of his
case.
AS we are advised and believe, the
only favor which Judge Harrison asks
of the Legislature is that they will pass
the bill now pending, repeating the law
requiring the Governor to fill vacant
judgships for the balance of the unex-
pired term. If they wilido this, we are
informed that, whatever may be the
result of this proceeding, he will send
to the Governor his resignation, to take
effect on the lst day of January next,
be a candidate for reelection and ap.
peal to the people of the 9TH Judicial
Circuit at the next annual election, to
pass upon his character and fitness for
the position.
The people have a right to select their
own judges. They are the only proper
judges of the character and fitness of
those who hold Office by their election.

"Well, see South Carolina and Massa-

Attorney General thought he would
quietly take little insolence.
