The European War.

A few brief dispatches this morning an
nounce that BAzaine has passed through
the Prussian army and moved from his
position near Metz to Montmedy. This is
town on the railroad from near Thion-
vile TO Mezierrcs, and is some 25 miles
north Of Verdun. 1t is also said that Nc
Mahon hns joined him there. A dispatch
from Paris, dated midnight, says Mona
hon has joined Bnzaine, but that the latter
has not Withdrawn from bis position near
Metz, In either case the situation is not
favorable to the Germans. In the former
case Bazaine is once more clear of the
Prussians, with his communications open
to Paris, and with an army strongly re-
enforced. In the latter case, e,mueh stronger
than before, he oonfronts the Prussian ar
my that had to fight hard to beat him last
week, and which now has desperate bat
tie to fight, and which they cannot afford
to lose. But where is the Crown Prince?
One report says he was on his way to Join
the Prussian main army If this be so,
the great battle of the war is to be fought,
and that very soon, somewhere in the
country between the Moselle and the
Meuse. There the two entire armies,
French and German, confront each other,
and the struggle will be fearful one. In
this connection the dispatch frem Berlin
giving the force of the German army will
be read with interest 1t says Steinmetz
has loo, 900 infantry and $4,000 cavalry;
Prince Frederick Charles 900, 900 men, in
fnntrV and cavalry, and 600 guns, and the
Crown Prince l72, 600 men, making q to-
tai OF $4,000 men. If the Grown Prince
has not joined the Prussian right and cen
ter, but is still on the line of the Paris d
Strasbourg Railroad, Paris is open to him,
with very little to oppose him in his on
ward march. His absence from the main
army, however, renders it less able to cope
with Bazaine's army thus re enforced -
The Crown Prince has been watching
Mcmahon, and in " probability following
him up Now it would seem as i'll
must effect q junction with the German
main army. Ifhe has not already done so
he can ina very short time, and the French
must strike very quickly to reap the full
benefit of their movement.
Taking it all in all, the situation this
morning looks more favorable to the
French than it has at any time since the
war fairly began, and more favorable to
them than to the Prussians. Gin. Gazette,

Republican Congressional Con.
Vention.

We are glad to be able to state
that after the lapse of three weeks,
since our Congressional nomina.
ton, the hostility of the Loudon
men of this place to the nomination
of Mr.. Smith has greatly abated. -
The sober second thought has had
a salutary influence upon them, and
they now appear willing to accept
the inevitable, and to acquiesce in
the action Of the convention, and
will generally support the nominee,
True, n few Of the more violent Op
ponents Of Mr., Smith still protest
that they will not support him and
il the election we're to come off to-
day, they probably would not; but
we have yet to hear of one of them
who will vote for the Democratic
candidate, or who would not prefer
the election Of Mr., Smith to that of
any Democrat in the District. We
have no doubt but that little more
cool reflection, and the presence of
a Democratic candidate in the field,
will bring them out all right long
before election day.
We can assure our Republican
friends in the other counties Of the
District, and Of the State, that
Clinton county will roll up a ma
jority for the whole Republican
ticket that will astonish them, and
that will carry CONSERVATION and
defeat into theranks Of the Demoo-
racy.- Wilmington Republican.

= Men sometimes onot so great
an injury to themselves, as to 9th
ers, by the mere force Of example.
AS eternal vigilance is the price OF
liberty, so ceaseless watchfulness is
the only safe conduct to pure mo-
rality. We may easily escape inju-
ry ourselves, but there are inhuen-
ces unconsciously going out from
every one in community, which
may do an immense amount of harm
to others, that we never dreamed of
subjecting them to, by single false
step of our own. How careful,
therefore, should we be that our
conduct tally not with our profess
sions, but with the interests of 9TH
ers! Better far to confess a fault,
even though it humiliate us, and
thereafter to heed the lesson, than
allow the evil example TO do its
work. 1t will make us stronger
than ever before, in battling for the
right. Boys frequently "stub their
toes" but men should never do so
more than once.
