THE other day, in Paris, lady re-
turned from a promenade at dinner time
to her house. She went to the kitchen
to see if everything was all right there.
and as the inspection did not have the
wished-for result. she sent Justine, her
servant girl, to buy some provisions.
Suddenly the door bell was rung. and
when the lady opened the door, a man
rushed in and menacingly brandlshing a
knife, uttering these words: Your
plate or your life |" Perfectly dumb
founded, the frightened lady pointed to
a large clothes-press standing in the
kitchen. Perhaps her intention was to
gain time, for the plate was not there at
all. The robber FASTENED to the clothes
press and opened it; but to bis terror,
and to the great surprise of the lady,
there stepped from it q tall grenadier,
Who disarmed the robber aud took him
to the Station House previously say
ing to the lady: Excuse me, madame,

r1IKEsg on GENERAL LEE.

Ii Is announced through Lexington,
Virginia paper that Gen. r. E. Lee was
stricken with paralysis on the 18th ult,
since which time be has been altogether
speeches.. His recovery is matter Of
doubt. We cannot hear such a report
without serious concern. General Lee
is regarded by the people Of the South
with an affection that is as deep and
true as their nature. The old hero is
looked upon as father, who is dear to
US all. His fame is an heirloom which
all delight to preserve and cherish. We
love him now not so much because Of
his military glory as his good
ness of soul and greatness ofheart. His
loss would be felt and mourned at mil
lions Of hearthstones. But we trust the
good old chieftan will be restored, and
his precious life spared many years, that
his bright example and salutary teach
ings may be seen and needed by the youth
of the Sunny South, and his genial in
Auence in behalf Of peace and learning
and morality, and fidelity to the con-
victions Of conscience and religion may
give tone and direction to the rising gem

the clearest exposition of this ire
pressible subject that we have seen.
Afier alluding at length to the var-
Gus features Of the platform and

YOU were in the Confederate army, or IN
the Federal army; we ask you to JOIN

names have changed with the new issues
that have sprung up. We have plat
form on which all-Conservative, Wing
Democrat Federal and Confederate, who
are opposed to Radicalism-can harmon

as sailors and as passengers, ana
that ship must not go down." lCheers'J

BERLIN. October 4.-The Emperor Ma
poleon has sent letter from Wilhelm
shohe, by one Of his staff, to the King 5
headquarters, dated September 9th, in
acknowledgment Of report Of the I'M
successful attempts at peace negotia-
tons, between Bismarck and N. Fayre,
at Terriers. After thanking the King
for communicating the progress Of events
since his surrender, Napoleon proceeds
to enumerate the hypothetical reasons
for the maintenance Of amity between
two such powerful neignbOrs as Germany
and France; the violation Of others
territory, producing in the end only
one Of two things: the total ruin
Of both adyersaries, or the com
plete and honorable reconciliation. The
King appreciates truly the rights which
perfect knowledge Of the European
sentiment during the war would give the
two countries when closely allied. A
magnanimous policy would endear itself
to Frenchmen. The closest friendship
and alliance are 10 the true interests Of
both countries; with such an alliance
France would be the first to admit that
the line Of defence dominated by fort
resses upon the boundaries Of both ma
tons was no longer necessary. France,
with the understanding Of the immense
advantages accruing TO both nations
from a voluntary peace, the maintenance
Of which would be subject to their own
arbitrary will, would agree to make any
sacrifice to secure IT, In conclusion,
Napoleon afiirms that peace would be
possible upon a reconciliation based
upon the disarmament Of the fortresses,
and the payment Of a war indemnity.

FRANCE.

Tours, October General Burnside,
who with couple of friends undertook
a voluntary mission to Paris, arrived
there on Sunday and had an interview
with NJ. Favre, the minister of foreign
affairs. In official circles strong hope
is INDUCED that the visit may be the
means Of promoting peace, or at least of
impressing upon Favre the futility
of continued resistance.
The latest advices received here from
Paris are dated Friday last. They re-
port that the French on that day made a
determined reconnaissance and had a
slight engagement with Prussian force
upon the south side The encounter
between the gunboats upon the Siene
and the Prussians at the Bots de Villen-
cour was not very serious. A few shells
from the boats dispersed the Prussians.

is also a fruitful source Of the breaking down

enemy to health are truly alarming. For all
such maladies Hostetter's stomach bitters
have been found unsurpassed. by acting
directly upon tho digestive organs, they re-
move the heavy. disagreeable feeling after
eating. so often complained of by persons OF a
delicate temperament. As soon as digestion

basis is the only pure stimulant which has

oUR CANDIDATES.

The convass has opened in earnest
nearly all over the State. Gen. Brown
and Colyar are speaking in East Ten
nessee. The Congressional candidates
are mostly on the stump. The Demo
cratic nominees for Senators, Floaters
and Representatives are nearly all IN
the field Col. W. W. Vaughan for Con-
press and James M. Harris, Esq, for
Floater, opened the ball yesterday at
Covington, in Upton county, and TINS
week will speak at several places IN
Shelby county Col. DuBose, we learn,
will make his first appearance on the
stump at Germantown, Thursday. We
hope that the people will turn out and
hear what our candidates have to say
on the issues of the campaign, and
hermit themselves to take lively
interest in the result of the election.
It will be an easy matter to elect
the entire ticket, and we have no
doubts of its success. The Democratic
press of the district is united, and the
nominees are good men in every sense,
who have sustained the standard OF the
present Democracy through many trials
and discouraging scenes, and are worthy
to bear il on to triumph in other contests
The success we regard as sure as the
approach Of the election, in November.
So many elections have taken place
within the last year that it is no wonder
the people grow weary, but we appeal to
them to rally once more and sweep the
field. The Radicals will not die con-
tented without another crushing defeat
They are, even now, footing their horns
and beating their old drums at night, to
gather the faithful together for one more
struggle. Their leaders, such as W. ).
Smith, Barbour Lewis, Ed Shaw, and
White Station McKenna, tell them to
keep together, wait and hope and pray,
and the time will come when they viii en-
joy, and dispense the crumbs of Office.

It is understood that Ex-Governor Joel

crat of long standing, has been nomi-
mated for Congress by the Labor Reform
party of the Second District of Massa-
chusetts.
The American Union, the organ of
the Radicals of Central Georgia, com
plains grievously about the troublesome
negroes who are anxious to go to Con-
gress from Georgia. Says the Union:
"We hear it asserted that colored men
are aspiring in almost every district IN
the State. While we do not object to a
man because of his color, we do object
when he is unfit, the same as we should
if an unfit white should present himself,
and especially when his color will jeop-
ardize the success of the party"
In view Of the difficulty of finding
Minister to England, the Chicago Tri-

a means of filling the place. 1t thinks
something like the following might bring
