A German Appeal.

Frederick Kapp, the German patriot,
writing from the Rhine to the New York
Nation, makes a glowing and effective
appeal for intelligent American symathy
for Prussia in the war. He says:
Well, we will stand and repel the
new attack. 1t will be war between
the Teutonic and Latin races, which Ma
poleon tried to bring about in 1864,
when he broke into Mexico, and which
was only put off by the defeat of the
slave barons in Richmond. We Ger
mans by fighting out this war will prove
to the world that the civilization Of the
present century is stronger than the
medieval traditions and robbing propen-
sites of reckless gamblers that the
genius of civil liberty is more firmly es-
tablished in Europe than the despotism
Of the French autocrat that the labor
Of generations performed in the interest
of peace and humanity is better key
stone of social order than the bloody
work Of even the most efficient agents Of
the Latin race, the African Bedouins,
Spahis, and Turcos. You, in your glori-
GUS struggle against slavery, relied on the
sympathies of the whole civilized world.
You we're not disappointed as far as Ger
many was concerned. Even our money
ed men believed in your ultimate sue
cess our press, with a few insignificant
exceptions, was in your favor and the
Prussian minister at Washington was
the first of all foreign diplomatists to
wish you, in the name of his sovereign,
good-speed and victory. And the

hind by invading Mexico. Our
cause, too, is the cause of humanity, and
it does not matter whether a foreign or q
domestic enemy seeks the ruin of civ

Napoleon has issued orders for the ex-
pulsion within three days Of all Germans
in France, owing allegiance to Prussia,
of whom it is said there are 100000 in
Paris alone, a large part of whom are
mechanics. To exile them with their
families on such short notice will cause
much suffering, and even the tyranny of
Napoleon ought to have been above such
cruelty. Some of the sufferers are al
reads on their way and the people of
Prussia are raising subscriptions for their
benefit.

The grand old patriotic French song,
the Marseillaise Hymn" has long been
an unlawful piece of music under the
Emperor, but recent events have been
such, that the French people have taken
to singing it on their own responsibility,
and Napoleon, yielding to the logic of
events" has announced his assent and
made it their national song-or rather
gave it certain legal status, for it has
long been the national hymn of France
when the people are in a state of nation
al excitement and patriotic enthusiasm.

a thrill of horror over me and recalled

Westminster and WalpOle Free
Bridge.

MR. EDITOR Your correspondent
" West Parish View" is evidently com
PEELED to attempt to disgorge partially
some of his inaccuracies. For instanc-
in his first statement he said "The utih
ty Of free bridge is granted on al
sides and the only ground of differenc
in town is caused by the want of any le
gal authority, &c" when being met witt
the fact that the speakers opposed to til
free bridge project in the town meetings
had founded their opposition upon othe
points besides the legal question involv
ed, and that some were opposed to fire
bridge in toto, and some had attempted
to have the town give up the idea of
bridge entirely, he now says, che will
pledge vote of nine-tenths of the lega
voters of the West Parish for FIRE
bridge as far as the legal jurisdiction O
the town, &c. Indeed, and does the one
tenth he does not pledge, include tb
speakers of the West Parish, especiall.
the big gun who in the last meeting be
rated the selectmen so freely, and doc
this one-tenth comprize all that humble
from the West Parish who managed an,
carried the vote Of the meeting OF juno
Goth, in these exact words:
Voted to instruct the selectmen t.,
proceed no further in the matter Of build
ing bridge across Connecticut river bt
tween Westminster and Walpole, N. H.
without any substitute for free
bridge in part at all. How cunningly
does the West Parish view state thu
above vote as follows; "To proceed no
further in the matter of free bridge in
Walpole."
And is the West Parish view so fool,
hardy as to suppose that free bridge is
to be had in any other way except by a
he opposes, or is he to hang his bridge to
the air. or let such piers be built by each
town as may endanger the portions each
of the other? No, the bridge must be a
unit.
Again, your West Parish view says
Threats and promises have been freel
used to bring men into the traces" The
East Parish though justly indignant a
the petty-fogging man@uvres and fac
tious, willfnl opposition of the minorit,
IN this bridge question, propose to say

Ind, few days since, the little daugh-
fer of Daniel Dlfiin, aged three years,
while playing near the door of its pa
rents, was seized by a voracious hog,
which dragged it off to several other
hogs and commenced tearing her in pie
ces. Endeavors made by the mother of
the child. to rescue it were unsuccessful,
but some gentlemen passing finally res
cued it. Not shred of clothing was left
upon its body, and in several places
great chunks of flesh were literally torn
out, leaving deep, gaping wounds. There
were twenty-five frightful cuts and bites
upon the child's person. After lingering
several days the child died.

price of her first book, which selling at
a dollar and half, yielded her fifteen
cents copy. Afterward owing to the
increase in the cost of manufacture, the
price of the book was raised to two dol

thor that they would allow her fifteen
cents on all her books, to which she as

the fact that she was not receiving her

BIDpY's EXPLANATION OF THE WAR.
Two worthy domestics, occupying resi-
dences vacated by the owners for the
summer, were talking across the railing
day or two since, when the individual
who removed the ashes ventured to ask
if she could tell him the cause of the
war abroad. Miss Biddy who has plenty
of time to read the papers, delivered her
self pretty nearly as follows; Well it
is pretty hard to tell the exact difficulty,
but from what | have read it appears to
me that it is somewhat like this; Sup
pose Mrs. Spain wanted girl, and my
missis should say that she would recon-
mend Briget Dolan. Then suppose Mrs.
France should say to my missis, you
mustn't give Bridget Dolan recommend
because the Dolan family will become
too important. Then my missis says she
won't do it, but that don't satisfy Mrs.
France, who wants her to promise that
she not only intended to give Bridg.
ct character, but will positively consult
with Mrs. France before she assents to
Mrs. Spain having any other girl. My
missis then gets mad ard says she'll not
do anything OF the kind, and so they be-
gin to tear each others chignons." Pat
who had placed his basket on the fence
and drank in the explanation without
moving a muscle resumed his tour after
remarking; "And is that what's the
matter, bad luck to them! | thought
somebody had been trod upon"
