GEN. CHASGARNIER.
The appointment OF Gen. Changarnler
as commander of the French reserves is
strongly significant of desire on the part
of the Emperor to unite all parties in the
war against Germany. This veteran 9th .
Ger is now in the seventy year OF
his age. He distinguished himself 10 Al
eiers. gaining promotion after promotion
for pallan,ry of the battle field. In lo4S
he became Governor General Of Aslers,
under the Provisional Government of the
Republic, and soon after was elected =
member of the Constituent Assembly tor
the Department Of the Loire. Leaving Al
picrs he went to Paris, where he partlci-
pated conspiciou>Iy in the important events

in suppressing the insurrectloD OF June,

others insist that ii was because he enter

But whatever the reason, it is certain that
the opponents of Napoleon regarded him
as their leader, and he was put forward oS
the conservative press as candidate Ioi
the Presidency. The coup detdt OF De
cember. 1851, prevented his candidacy
from amounting to anything. Soon after
he was arrested and imprisoned, but wa

RetributiOn.

| AS illustrating quick perception and rare
presence of mind Chambers Journal
| vouches for the truth ofthe following story,
which was originally published in the
guie of fiction:
Caroline c., a good>looking, finely
proportloned young girl, lived as lady's
maid with fashionable young widow. rath
er pasSe. One evening, after having as
sisted at her mistress toilet for dinner
party, she amused herself, before putting
away the various articles scattered about
the room. IN trying on pair OF silk stock
lngs and dress-shoes belonging to her mis-
tress, aud, having done SO. Sic viewed her
wei-,urned limbs with competency, saying
aloud There's a leg for a stocking, and
there 5 a foot for a Shoe Having satis>
fed herself as to their symmetry, she d.
vested hrIoUIr TO her borrowed piumos, gut
the room to rights, and awaited the return
of her Mistress whom she saw into bed.
That was the last time she saw her alive.
She was found in the morning murdered
in her bed, the jewel case aud plate chest
broken open and robbed The robber and
murderer had left no trace by which he
could could be captured, and in spite of the most
Caroline was engaged in similar CAPACITY
by a lady who took her to Paris. She had
almost forgotten the murder, and if she
thought of It, 1t was not with any hope of
discovering the criminal.
1t happened that she was walking in one
of the public promenades one afternoon,
when, as she passed a group Of men, she
heard these words:
There's a leg for stocking, and there's
foot for a shoe" In moment the
events Of the evening before her mistress
was murdered flashed on her memory.
And now for her marvellous presence of
mind. Pretending not to have heard any,
thing, she glanced sideways at the group
OF men. She saw there we're three, but
she could not tell which of them had spok-
en-. She walked slowly past them, and
then she stopped in an undecided manner
and finally turned back, and walked up to
them, she asked to be directed TO a certain
street. As she expected, al. of them had
word for her, and among the voices she
easily recognized the one that had Just
spoken. Their language and looks were
Doth very free, but she only told them that
| they were very impertinent, and that she
would get the information she wanted from
the first reEdarme she met. She thus
aver,ed suspicion, if they watched her
speaking to policeman. The next diff
Guilty was how to inform gendarme what
she wanted; she had been only fortnight
in France, and knew scarcely word o!
French. She, however, carried pocket
dictionary with her, to assist in making
purchases, and as means of acquiring a
little French. Going over to bench, she
sat down, and searching through the die
tionary she found the words she wanted,
and she then wrote them with pencil on
| the fly leaf of the dictionary. The sentence
ran thus Gendorme .je erois Lesoin uous
drrete; IN naeurtier." The grammer vas
not very correct, as dictionaries do not
teach syntax, but the gendarme understood
it, and in another minute he'd the murder

victed and hung on the girls testimony.

The Seat Of War.

New York, Aug. 8.
There are no further advices from the
seat of war than telegraphed last night.
The substance of the dispatches, specials
and all, is that the French army is hardly
beaten, with heavy losses, and is in full
retreat; that its centre is driven in, the
right wing turned and cut off; that the
Prussians have taken many prison ers,
cannon and small arns, and, flushed with
success, are eagerly followed up their vic.
tory, and that NapoIeon's calling upon
France to raise and save the country, is
hurriedly preparing for a desperate de-
teDse. Official dispatches received by the
Secretary of the State from Minister Wash.
burn confirm the news which ha, been
telegraphed to the press.

The Democratic Party.

Iii The mission Of the Democratic party so
far as human ken can reason on the present
or pierce TIE future. TO restore this country TO
9 government of humanity, reason. civilization
and law. If it does not, then Providence ha.
not vouchsafed il to mortal eyes 10 see how
and bv what agencies il can be done There
are men, perhaps, who profess to be wiser
than their generation, and who pretend to be
able to see further and more clearly than the
viscst. the best and the NEST patriotic Of the
land; and there are certainly those audacIou.
and iInyudent enough to call on people to dis
card the teachings Of common sense and rea-
con. turning from the great beacon lights
which shine on existing facts TO follow the Ia
pcrs in their self-conceited hands. But the
practical truth remains. There are two poilt-
ical powers at work in this land--they are the
spirit Of liberty and the spirit of tyranny
They are embodied in the only two political
organizations Of the country, the Democratic
and Radical parties. Every citizen must
choose II is like the choice between poo

is no third, he is so far false to the good
and the alder and abettor of the evil. The
Democratic party is the champion of the white
man, and of the Constitutional Government
established BY the ancestors Of the white man.
The Radical party is the negro party, the
breath ia whose nostrils depends on dethron-
ing the Constitution, oblterating State lines
and State authority, and keeping the South
under ban Of suspicion and hatred, and the
power Of the carpet-bagger and the negro.
The distinction is as wide as the country. Ne
man in the country who processes to be anti
Radical naed- TO be told that in the Democrat
ic party lies all the country's hopes Of restora-
ton. No such man makes war on the Demo-
cratic party, pronounces it Infamous or
points out any other lnstrumentality by which
to defeat and sweep from power the corrupt
party that has dsfiled the great political work
Of Washington and his compeers.
Two and half million Of Democrats are in
organized fighting array at this moment, and
Radical destruction is their battle cry. If
they conquer, the states of the South will find
their shacklos at once stricken off, and will
become once more equals and peers in tie
family of States. There will be no more dis
Embellishments, no more political disabilities
to be rumored, no more humiliations from
carpct-bag lnsolencc and tyranny, and no
more expulsion of Southern men from their
just share in the administration Of a govern
ment that processes to be common govern
ment, but which is now one Of insult and op-
preston.
Let who will snap and smart and growl at
the heels Of the great Democratic party of
liberty, its standard must be held aloft and
. its soldiers must be true to it. 1t bears the
fortunes of republican freedom, and who shall
be afraid to stand by and uphold itl False
friends may fall away; pretenders may beat
the air with splutter, and still the great Dem
ocratic party viii march on to victory. Dem
ocrats, do your duty.

BEFORE they adjourned, members Of Con.
grcss had enacted more odious, partisan and
imbecils measures than ever before disgraced
a similar delibera-ive assembly. Their tariff,
bill is a botch their funding bill an abortion
their enforcement bill a crime; their natural
ization bill a blunder and an outrage; their
Georgia bill puzzle. A Washington cor
respondent thus speaks Of such corrupt legis-
lation and its probable results:
The list OF measures they failed to perfect
forms an arraignment Of this Radical body
which can be used with telling effect against
its representatives in the fall elections, This
is conceded by the rejecting members Of the
party, and they do not hesitate to admit that
the result OF these elections will be to send to
the Forty-second Congress at least one bun
drel Democratic Conservative members. The
Democrats believe they will have majority
in the House.
