General PalladHe reports to the government
that the battles which occurred two days ago at
Manchenoir were more important than was at fret
rumored The Prussians lost 250 killed and over
100 prisoners. The French troops behaved well,
and one res giment of chasseurs kept large Prus-
sian force checked until the other French troops
came up, when the Prussians retreated.
The journals of Lille announce that Bourbaki,
who has not resigned, has organized large force.
Keratry, having organized the army of the west,
is forming q camp in Brittany for another army
of 100000 strong Lyons Is preparing for defence,
and Toulouse Is sending forward large numbers of
troops fully armed and equipped. Order prevails
in both cities and also at Marseilles, where the in
ternal dissensions have disappeared. Baron Hauss-

PARIS. Nov. 6-[Special to the New York Tri-
bune.]-The news of the rejection of the mistlce
fell like thunderbolt upon the populace / never
remember to have witnessed day of such general
gloom since the commencement of the SIEGE The
feeling of despair is, ! fear, stronger in the
army, and my impression 10 that within a very
short time there will be outcTy for peace which
no government will be able to resist If the real
possibility of further resistance will become
more evident.
The German report on the defences of Paris says
about the range of their guns, that the Prussan
batteries at Sevres and Meudon will carry far
the Champ de Mars, and that from Montretont their
guns would throw shells into the Champs Elysees,
but it is expected that Mont Valerien will silence
their fire IL is opened. Meat Ia getting
more and more scarce daily Yesterday all hidden
ON them, were thrown on the market and to-day
they have again disappeared. Thin lamb was freely
offered for sale when at the same time live dogs
were becoming scarce.

The Augusta STANDARD, the leading Demo-
cratic paper in the State, says, "among the
persons mentioned as likely to receive the
Democratic nomination for Congress, in the
Frs District, are Hon. Caleb r. Aver of Cor
nsh and Hon. Bion Bradbury of Portland,
with the chances in favor of the latter" This
may be so, but here and at Saco and Bidde-
ford the candidate mentioned as most likely
to get the nomination is William P. Haines
Esq, of Saco.
The Augusta Standard suggests 4" that the
Democratic nomination for a candidate for
Congress from the Third District, be made at
Portland on the day of the State Convention
by the delegates fiom the district to the con-
vention." 1t won't make much difference
how or where he is nominated. He is certain
to be swamped in September under an ava
lanche of Republican votes.
AMONG those named for Governor by the
Republicans of New Hampshire is ex-Mayor
Frank Jones, of Portsmouth, a wealthy and
public spirited citizen, who might poll more
than his party vote throughout the State, and
certainly would do SO it Rockingham county,
CANDIDATES for the Republican nomina-
ton for Congress in the New Hampshire First
District are as numerous almost as the towns
Among them are J. II. Ella, the present in
cumbent, Marcellus Bufford, John III. Bailey
William q. Rollins, James W. Emery, Chas
II. Bell, William B. Small, Samuel NJ. Wheel
er and William ii. Patten nearly all lawyers
In the Second District Gov Stearns and ex.
Gov. Frederick Smythe are talked Of and in
the Third, Col. Henry o. Kent is a leading
candidate. There is time enough to choose
in all these districts, as the election does not
occur until March, 1871.

The WARD CAUcUsEs.-The result of the
primary meetings last night is recorded in an
other place. The disafection which threat
ened to create division in the sentiment of
the city and perhaps division in the Conven-
ton was active, and but for the warning given
in the PRESS yesterday, might have done in
calculable mischief to the Republican party in
this district; but out of total vote of 1922 in
this city it polled but 141 votes. This vote
shows the entire strength of about twenty
men, who had been at work for several weeks,
had organized all the Wards and brought to
the caucuscs every man they could influence
and it is fair to assume that these III men
composed the entire strength of the opposi-
ton in the city, and until yesterday, their op-
erations were unknown to the mass of the
Republican voters. Mr.. Lynch's friends, how
ever, made no attempt to pack the caucuses
or introduce clark lantern" tickets, for the
name of Mr.. Lynch was printed in bold let
tiers at the top of the ballots But the en-
deavors of the opposition were directed more
towards creating an influence out of the CITY
than at home 1t is well known that the tick
cts in some of the wards contained the names
ofpersons friendly to Mr.. Lynch, and in more
than one instance at least, the position of
prominent gentlemen was willully misrepre-
sented.

The DISTRICT CONvENTIoN.-To-day
Westbrook will choose eleven delegates to
the Saco Convention. This is the last town
in Cumberland County to choose. So far as
we can gather from the best information, there
is not delegate but what is favorable to Mr..
Lynch's denomination, and in many cases
they have been instructed that way by their
constituents. Westbrook, we believe, from
what we can learn, will keep the column I'M
broken and Cumberland county is to 90 to
Saco unanimously for Mr. Lynch. OF the del
egates selected from the York county towns
80 are known to be for Mr.. Lynch's re nomin-
alton; and of the 20 to be chosen to-day, it is
not too much to assume that six or eight at
leastwill be of the same mind. At any rate,
taking things as they stand this morning, Mr..
Lynch will have 1873 votes at the opening,
against 70, which are divided among five COM
peting candidates. 1t is seldom that the peo-
pie of district are SO united upon candi-
date as the. people of the first district are to-
day upon John Lynch.

PR e S 8.
Saturday Morning, June 25, 1870.

THE Union ard journal is iubilant over
the result of the Biddeford caucus, and repro
duces for the edification of its readers stupid
speech made by its editor upon that occasion.
In speaking of the resolution to instruct the
delegates to vote for Hon. r. M. Chapman, or
some other York county man, and none other,
which was voted down, it says:
Mr.. Chapman took the stand and stated
that the mention OF his name was total sur
prise; that he had never had the least idea of
being candidate, and should not he that he
could not comprehend the kindness of thus
placing him in an equivocal position, and he
desired the resolution should be voted down.
ne tnen made long speech in favor OF MI.
Lynch, by arguing that locality had nothing
10 40 with the selection OF a candidate, nehner
had usage nor precedent, nor, should he be
elected as a delegate, did he wish to be in
structed, as he did not believe delegates
should ever be instructed.
We take pleasure in placing this extract be-
fore orr readers, because Mr. Chapman is
representative man, and highly esteemed
wherever known for the catholicity of his
views and unselfsh devotion toprinciple. He
has nothing whatever to do with the machin-
cry of politics, but rising superior to any and
all selfish considerations, strives earnestly to
guide his party associates in the pathway of
duty and honor. With such men as Banks
and Andrews and Hooper and Ford and
Quinby and Hanson, he deprecates the mar
row sectionaism which would subordinate
the interests of great Congressional district
TO the ambition Of any man however worthy,
Or sacrifice the interests of the people for the
qualification of the few.
We wish the Journal had gone farther and
informed its readers of the grossly unfair
manner in which the chairman of the caucus
presided over its proceedings, the color of the
votes used by the prevailing party, the reason
tchy colored uctes Dere used, the number OF
minors and democrats voting the red ticket
and the disgraceful and insulting manner in
which S. W. Luques, Esq, and Others were
prevented from speaking and were denied the
privilege of having their motions submitted TO
the caucus for action. Such disgraceful pro-
ceedings may help bad cause temporarily
but will not long impede the progress of the
right.

Exhibition of the Eaton School.

NoRRIDGEwOCK, June %, 1870.
The fourteenth annual exhibition of the Ea-
ton School took place to-day.
For several days old scholars and patrons
have been arriving; this being the Mecca to
which they make their annual pilgrimage /;
and many have been the cordial greetings
and congratulations of old school mates and
friends, thinking, perhaps, of the good times
gone by, and looking toward the future with
high hopes and noble aspirations.
A more beautiful day was never seen. The
sky was cloudless, and just enough air in mo-
ton to maze the day delightful. Norridge-
wock never looked in better trim. The large
American flag, owned by the citizens, was
flung to the breeze, and long before one o'clock
the large audience room of the Church filled
to overlooking.
The following was the order of exercises.
The music was furnished by the Norridge wock
Band.

MUSIC.
Nearly all of the declarations evidenced a
good degree of proficiency, while several
were of very high order. The same can be
said of the readings by the ladies'.
The prize defamation was awarded to W.
L. Blunt of East Somerville, and for reading
to Miss Mary J. Peet of Norridgewock.
AT eight o'clock quite large audience gath
cred in the vestry and hall where music, liter
airy exercises, Strawberries, ice cream and a
good time generally" were harm onously
combined.
Of Mr.. Eaton, Principal of the school, it is
unnecessary to speak. He still maintains the
honorable reputation he has won as High
School teacher.
Farewells are now being said, and it is pos
slble, and even probable, that many of the
scholars will not return again; yet old associa-
tions will not be forgotten, and this day will
be remembered by many who have participant
ed in its festivities as one of the happiest days
of their lives.
AT the close of the evening exercises the pu-
pills presented Mr.. Eaton with valuable gift
