LONDON. August l0.-Prussia IS orran:z-
ing Il volunteer naval force.
= 1t is rumored that the Prince Imperial will
be at the French Embassy tomorrow; other
reports assert that Louis is already here.
Saturdays disasters are attributed 20 the
Enperor's military incapacity.
The Prnssian advance is obstructed by
villages filled with French wounded.
The French losses exceed all estimates
The PrussiaIS took multitudes OF pris-
oners..
The rlImors of naval battles having been
fought are false.
The French continue concentrating their
forces on the road to Paris; al that region
is in state of siege.
1t is said that after the battle OF the sixth
the French abandoned their works in the
greatest confusion.
An Intellectual effort was made 70 check
the Prussian advance at Niederbruu, which
place was taken by the Bayarians.
The French continued to retreat toward
Bitsche, the Wurtemburg cavalry picking
up scores OF prisoners. The line Of retreat
was covered with the dead and wounded
The Prussians entered Hagenaw early on
the seventh, and soon occupied F0rbach
and Sarreguemines.
A dispatch from Hong Kong says on the
twenty first of July the French consulate at
Canton, was attacked by q rabble, and the
consul compelled to seek protection under
the British flag. The foreigners are gen
orally threatened.
The following is the Queens speech, de-
ivered to-day by the Royal Commissioner,
upon the occasion of the Propagation Of Par
Lament:
My Lords and Gentlemen-The State of
the public business enables me to release
your attendance upon Parliament. We
continue to receive from all foreign powers
assurances of their goodwill and trienship,
but have witnessed with great pain and
grief, on both domestic and foreign grounds,
the recent outbreak OF war between two
powerful nations, allied to this country
My best exertions have been used to avert
this great calamity. l shall now direct
constant and anxious attention 20 o strict
observance of the duties and rights OF
neutrality. l have cheerfully assented to
the measure natured by your wisdom to
enlarge the powers of the executive, not
only for the discharge of international du-
ties, but for the prevention of acts injurious
to the interest of this country.
l shall make every fitting endeayor to
check the operation Of causes leading to the
enlargement of the area of the conflict, and
shall contribute, if the opportunity offers, to
the restoration of an early and honorable
peace. have rendered to the belligerent
powers treaties identical in form, which will |
give additional security to Belgium against |
the hazard of war ON her frontier.
The treaty has been signed by Count |
BernstOff for the North German COnfedera-
ton, and the French envoy has signifed
that he has the authority to sign the cores
ponding instrument, and the receipt of full |
powers therefor Other powers, parties to

The Homer Uiod SAYS:

The Homer Iliad says:
In recent conversation with Governor
Warmoth on the subject, he assured us that
it was not his purpose to call the militia
into active service If he is forced to do so
in any instance, it will be through the un-
accountable folly of those whose wicked
ness should, and doubtless will be made a
bleeding warning to others. We trust and
believe the people of this section will prove
to have too much sense and too much good
ness to incur such retribution as would
follow in the wake of an armed militia sent
out among us at the present time.

Attorney General Akernan has addressed
a letter to certain Republicans IN Georgia,
who have requested his views on the sub
!iect OF an election in that State. He de
clines to give construction OF the act OF
Congress relative to Georgia, but on the as
sumed ground that the question is for the
decision of the Legislature, he is in favor Of
an election and against the extension OF the
terms OF State officers.
In party view he thinks the Republican
party will be more hurt by preventing than
by holding the election. but if 1t was other

unfairness and should the election oe IN

The progress in marine guns during the
last decade has been very great. In 1859,
the sixty-eight FOUNDER cast iron gun was
the most powerful weapon At present
there are 600 FOUNDER twenty-five ton guns,
besides eighteen ton, twelve ton, nine ton,
and six and half ton guns The lightest
OF these is more powerful than the sixty
eight FOUNDER, and could pierce four and a
dred yards, while the twenty-five ton gun
would probably pierce most iron-clads at a
range of two miles.

We have lately heard several oliand experienced
farmers remark that they were never successful
in raising good crop of carrots and think few
hints on the subject may enghten some. The
carrot (Daucus Ca,1oi,D is one of our most use
ful roots, being next to the potato in nutiitive
qualities. There are several varieties, but the
most common are the Atrinehan Long Orange
and large white Belgian.
Tho first named averages about foot in length
and is Of light orange color; tie Long Orange
is rather smaller and of very deep orange
color, and it is mostly used for coloring butter
the Belgian carrot grows larger than any other
variety, and contains more sugar, but is of a
white color This reminds nc of IN old country
lady who bought some seed of this variety, with
out knowing they were white. When the carrots
came up she was in terrible way; she declared
the scotsman cheated her, and sold her ,cihl
carrot seed. She would have thrown them all
away, had not a neighbor eaten some to convince
her they were not poisonous. The carrot best
grows in light loarn it.t will 10 well in sitter
soil, if well drained and subsoile1. The ground
should be plowed the fall previous, and it would
be better if it was in corn the year before, OF
some crop which had been thoroughly worked.
1t should be plowed again in the spring, and
then narrowed. and if it is hard and lumpy it
should be rolled and narrowed again, SO as to
have it in as good order as possible in a light
loam of course, all this cultivating is rinneces-
sary. When the soil is in good order it may be
rolled. to make an even surface.
Then strike out the rows two feet apart, after
which run a slbsoil plow in every row. Sow
Guano or phosphate in each, or short, well COM
posted manure would he better. A fuTow is
then thrown from each side into the row which
makes ridge level OFF the ridges with rake
and then drill in the seed
Two pounds Of good seed per acre is sufficient.
The great trouble with carrots is that tue weeds
get the start. Then recollect the old proverb,
THE best time to kill weeds is before they
come up ~ and also, You must conquer weeds
Or weeds will conquer you" The smaller varieties
should be thinned out to six inches, but the
larger to eight inches.
A plow can be run on one side of them, to
facilitate the harvesting of them; they are then
topped and stored away like turnips. Carrots
are mostly raised for domestic animals horses
thrive remarkably on them, and they mpart a
rich color to milk and cream when fed to cows.
Sheep and swine will fatten rapidly when plenti-
fully fed to them. Three hundred bushels per
acre is good crop for the smaller kinds, and
450 bushels of the Belgian one thousand bushels
per acre have been raised of the latter variety.
Below is a table of analysis, showing the amount

CAPE MAY Cry, June 22d.-The midnight gem
try are making their appearance. Some of them
broke into the house of Mr.. Henry Hand, the
City Collector, on Friday evening last and re-
lieved him of two watches and S35 in money.
They also took papers valued at $3.50, but deem
ing them useless kindly deposited them under
the house, where they were found next morning.
The detectives were placed on the track and then
woe unto suspicious looking characters. Some
were secured and placed in the City Cells.
Something occasionally occurs to relieve the
monotony between bathing and eating hours, for
that is how the day is reckoncd. Sometimes, as
for instance, last Friday, it takes the shape of a
fight Mr.. Dillon, of Philadelphia, owned a
house on Washington street which he rented to
Mr.. Sites, for term of five years. last year the
building was burnt down. This year a new one
was erected in it's place. Mr.. Sites claimed
possession, under his five year lease and Mr..
Dillon rented it to another party, Mr.. Sites
moved in, and the other party did likewise. Sc
when two bodies move together in the same
space collision occurs, 80 it was in this case
The consequence y, the courts will have little
work at their next session.
