FURTHER MILITARY OPERATIONS.

4 FRENCH SUCCESS BEFORE PARIS-FURTHER
ATROCITIES ALLEGED AGAINST THE PRUs-
: sIANs-A PROTEST FROM THE FRENCH
TWENTY VILLAGES BURNED NEAR METZ
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PEASANTS SHOT
3 BY THE PRUSSIANs.
Tours, Wednesday, oct u, 1870
The Ministers here have Just received news of an
important French victory. The courier who
brought the intellg ence was permitted to pass
through the Prussian lines. The battle occurred on
Friday the eth inst, between Fort Mont du Valerien
and ST. Cloud on the west side Of Paris, the French
under Gen. Ducrot, having made a sortie in force.
The Prussians were completely defeated, and were
reed to retreat to Versailles entirely suTendering
the position they had lately occupied. and from
which they might have sheIed the western part of
Paris.
Advces from various parts Of France repeat the
statement that the Prussians are committing the
greatest atrocities upon helpless towns. Where the
Francs Tireurs gain advantages the Prussians have
not only seized the authorities Of the towns and de-
handed restitution for the captured Prussians on
pain Of the death Of the authorities and the burning
down OF the towns, but have also eNacUHu Indo IHe
Francs Tireurs themselves be delivered up for ex-
ssution. In view Of this frightful state of affairs,
,ae Government is reported to have again brought
ne subject TO the attention of the Prussan military
rhorties as well as TO the foreign ambassadors 10
rance.
Late adyices have been received from the army
oasieging Metz. Up TO Thursday last the Prussians
nd burnt % small villages in that neighborhood,
s1d executed 10 peasants for carrying an Illicit
warfare.
Severe fighting has been renewed before st. Quen-
tm. dispatch from Chateaudun to-day states that
the Prussians suffered a defeat at Dreaux, having
q On forced to retire with great loss. The Prussan
scouts were also forced TO retire from Mont Didier
by the Francs Iireurs and the Gardes Mobiles
Gen. La MatterOuge has been removed from the
command of the troops here, and Gen. Palandene
aFpOinted TO succeed him.
The Government repeated its determination to
N aliate for all Prussan atrocities. If the municipal
authorities Of Abis are executed equal number of
Pussian prisoners will be shot.

THE NASHVILLE AND OWENSBO-
no RAILROAD.

The friends of this enterprise in Ken
lucky are actively engaged in its behalf.
The route is from Owensboro on the
Ohio river to Russellville KY, and thence
to Springfield in Robertson county. 1t is
proposed to construct it from Greensboro
to point on the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad (from Cincinnati to st. LOUIS
thus giving US another route to Cincir-
matt and relieving US partially from our
dependence on the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad. 1t will also be q great link
in the air line road from Nashville TO
Chicago. But if it is never constructed
any further than Owensboro, it viii prove
TO be of very great benefit to Nashville.
1t viii give US the benefit of the
inexhaustible coal supplies that are to be
obtained on this route and open to the
opportunities of Nashville trade the Green
river country of kentucky 1t is much
nearer from Nashville to the Ohio river
at Owensboro, than it is at Louisville
The road is in running order from Owens
boro south about twenty miles, leaving
only about ninety miles to complete this
important railway. The counties in Ken
lucky, through which this road passes,
should put their shoulders TO the wheel
with the determination which assures sue
cess. Tennessee viii not only build all of
the line which lies in this State, but viii
help to build that in Kentucky.

IvISTTCE BRADLEY.

The Hon. Joseph P. Bradley, of New
Jersey, is the last of the appointments to
the supreme bench of the United States.
He is assigned to Southern circuit, and
it is, therefore, of interest to know some
thing of his character and sentiments.
The Mobile Register is permitted to pub
fish the following letter, written to an
old New Jersey friend, now resident in
Mobile:
WAsuINeroN, March 80, 1870.-Dear
-: than you for your kind express
sions of congratulation, and have no
doubt that shall find the Southern cir
cult very pleasant one. For whilst, as
you know, l have always been intensely
national, have, nevertheless, always felt
kindly regard for the Southern people,
deeply realizing the difficulties OF their
situation. If there is any one wish that L
cherish more than another, it is to see the
substantial classes of the South once more
firmly knit in attachment to the old Gov
eminent and the old flag. They certainly
have magnificent territory, and there is
no reason why, as part of this great ma
ton, they should not have magnificent
future. l hope the time may soon come
when the President and Congress shall
deem it wise and prudent to extend gen
eral amnesty.
have some idea of making little tour
through the States of the circuit as soon
as the court shall adjourn. If l do SO, |
shall hope to see you at Mobile. Yours,
truly, JOSEPH Z. BRADLEY.

THE RADICAL DEFEAT IN CON-
NECTICUT.

The Chicago Tribune, in mourning
over the Radical defeat in Connecticut,
gives its readers glimpses of a great truth.
After bitter fling at the faction in the
Senate which delayed the admission of
Texas and Georgia, and so lost Gov.
Jewell the negro vote which he might
have had, the TFi6Rate proceeds to remark
very sensibly and philosophically, that it
is a matter of much more interest to know
''what has become of our white voters,
and that "atter putting together the fund
ing bill, the project for keeping Georgia
out of the Union, and the Domingo sell,
it is not difficult TO account for the defec-
ton of enough votes in Connecticut to
turn the scale" In other words, says the
St. Louis Republican, the Tribune lays
the blame of the disaster upon three of
the most prominent features in the recent
policy of the administration-an admin.
isiration, too, which that journal zealously
supports. The funding bill, although
ostenslbly the invention of Senator
Sherman, is known to have originated
with Secretary Boutwell,, and it is to be
presumed has the sanction of a majority
of the cabinet as well as the President.
excepting Georgia out of the Union" has
the support of large proportion of Rad
ical Senators, including such shining lights
as RevelS, Brownlow, Sumner and Drake,
and almost as much strength in the House.
'The Domingo seI''-irreverent express
ionl-is the favorite child of President
Grant himself, who has urged it from the
beginning with an enthusiastic pertinacity
which will take no denial. These, then,
are the three sins which the Tribune
thinks have drawn heavens vengeance
upon the heads of the Radical sparty in
Connecticut. They are not merely acci-
dental transgressions, brief lapses from
the path of strict virtue liable TO occur in
the best regulated families, but they are
the legitimate result of a certain code Of
principles which Radicalism has approved
and is now engaged in carrying out.

with the option of the President whether

States of the Union. Democratic States
win be especially liable to have their own

found for doing it.

about seven hundred and eighty millions
is not an excessive paper circulation
for this country. The quantity of specie
in the banks, which is referred to as evil
dence of strength, consists not of gold,
but of gold certificates The $1o5, 4l5,-'
745 OS of coin held by the Sub-treasury
is represented by certificates to the ex-
tent of nearly thirty mine million dollars,
most of which is held by banks largely,
however, in the shape or deposits. Inc
Government is the real owner of about
twenty-five million dollars of the sum In
its Golfers. A moderate advance in
prices is expected after Congress ad-
iourns, as the funding bill will not
be passed, it is supposed, with the clause
authorizing the absorption of legal ten
ders, and the rapidity of the advance will
be promoted whenever the foreigner, to
whom we are heavily indebted in bonds
for national and corporate debts and for
temporary balances, shall require coin.
The failure to pass funding bill armed
with the authority it contains to absorb
the legal tenders and enforce its provis
ions. will be beneficial to trade at least
for the present, and viii be equivalent to
an announcement that return to specie
payments is postponed until we shall have
acquired the gold which authorizes step
so decisive.

The New York Tribune says that
Commissioner Delane has transmitted TO
the Senate statement showing gradual
and steady increase in the receipts of in
ternal revenue for the last year, and re-
marks that 'this showing is gratifying
one, and is well calculated to strengthen
the financial credit of the country" Now
we know of great many people to whom
an increase Of their taxes is by no means
gratifying, but who, on the contrary,
consider il a deplorable event. 1t may
strengthen the financial credit of the
country" but it weakens their own, and
of the two they prefer their individual to
public credit. If tits gratifying" to col
lect ten or twenty millions of dollars
more from the people than we did last
year, how much more gratifying would
it be to collect two hundred millions
morel So therefore we may expect, I'M
der present auspices, that the taxes will
continue to be piled on until the gratifica-
ton of the Tribune is supreme. There
is room for it, for the public orange is not
yet sucked entirely dry.
