In a moment of editorial ex-
tremity, we requested a young
friend who is rich in talents and
learning, but at times excessively
melancholy, to give us a lift. On
yesterday he laid upon our table
the following very peculiar article,
which, after some hesitation, we
have decided to publish. We
wish to be understood that we do
not sanction his suicidal recon
mendations, but we have a NUM-
Der of young friends, members of
the Rapid Order, who always "take
sugar in theirs,7 and will, there
fore, be edited by the sentiment
embodied in this communication.

The Journal was not renewed till
some time during the next fall or
winter, when George w. Edwards,
once editor of the Burlington Hack
eye, came to Knoxville in quest Of a
location for a paper. Being in pos
session of press and type, he and
Stone formed co-partnership and
renewed the Journal. During the
same year Stone sold his interest in
lhe paper to Edwards, who conduct
ed it alone for short time, till he
sold it to John NJ. Bailey, and he to
+. G. Stanfield, in the winter of 1867
and 1853. During Mr.. Stantield's s
proprietorship Of the concern, the
Journal was, for time, edited by L.
ID. Ingersoll, since we'll known as an
author, and at present editor of the
Chicago Post. After Ingersoli, ii
was published by Bigelow & Co.;
then, 1860, by Iforner & Hannold,
who changed the name of the paper
to Marion County Repubiican, some
time during the same year.
The third paper published in the
County was the Democratic Standard,
first issued in June, 1856, about eight
months later than the Journal, by
Claiborn Hall, editor and proprietor
Mr.. Hall, not being practical
printer, and also entirely unacquaint-
ed with journalism, soon found ii
"up-hill" work, and, financially, q
closing game" to publish frontier
country newspaper. So, after a short
experience, he disposed Of the con-
Germ to company. After this, the
Standard was edited and Published
by different individuals successiveIy
among whom were S. NJ. Hammond
and M. V. B. Bennett, the latter
well known as lawyer and political

ations some time in 1864 or 1865.

Inc most lmpQrtanL news dDOuI
the European war Is that last Thurs
day morning Bazaine and Metz Ca
pitulated to the Prussians with $780,
600 prisoners, including 10000 sick
and wounded. King Williams dis
patch of that day says: "It is one of
the most important events of the
war. Providence be thanked!" The
scene around Metz at the time Of the
surrender is described as frightful.
A storm had ragged for several days
all over the north of France. The
entire country was under water, and
everything literally drowned out
The bombardment of Paris, SO long
delayed, is still daily expected. The
French Government refuses the ces-
sion of territory, and therefore, says
the latest dispatch, it is believed the
war must proceed indefinitely
Reports through Prussian channels
represent starvation imminent in
Paris. American volunteers
for the French army have arrived at
Brest and Tours; number not stated.
a French dispatch Of the 29th
ult. says that the village of Bourvisse
has been burned by the Prussians'
petroleum shells--a new invention.
Herr Jacoby and seven other
noted political prisoners at Berlin
have been released. A letter from
Berlin, Of 22d ult., says that the
longing for peace in that city is
intense, especially among the lower
classes. A single battalion of land
wehr, in one sortie on the 7th ult.,
lost over 400 fathers of families,
leaving as many widows and 1910
orphans. A young girl in Tours
has been making great excitement
among the French by gathering
recruits, after the fashion Of Joan of
Arc.-The Prussians have success
fully examined the defenses Of Paris
by means of balloons.-A French
loan of ten millions is said to have
been introduced, and received with
favor, in London--the first loan ever
negotiated by France outside Of her
own territory.-The suffering in
the Ardennes region and Alsace, on
account of the war, is fearful. In
Ardennes, and the region along the
Belgian frontier, 200,0 people are
In peril of starvation, and many
without shelter except such as they
can make with bushes. Numerous
small engagements and sorties at
different points are reported, but
nothing further Of any importance.
a prominent French journal
estimates the expense Of the war
for the French alone, we suppose
with the cost of arma-
ment, at over nine thousand billions
of dollars, according to the figures
reported by telegraph.-A large
portion Of the vast bodies of French
prisoners now in Germany are
by the German authorities
on the public works, such as road
bridge-buiIding, and other
improvements. Thus, while the
public works Of France are destroyed,
those Of Germany are pushedforward.
