New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-10-04

In driving from Saarbruck here we were
much astonished to observe all the deserted
villages as you near Metz. Where all the
people have flown to God only knows; there
is scarcely vestige Of peasant to be seen
anywhere. The villages, for the most part,
are occupied by the Landwehr, who are only
now coming to the front. We passed III
Vulnerable wa CONS Of provisions and cattle
driven along the road to the great armies
now well into the heart Of France. The
town Of st. Avoid, as is the case with all the
conquered towns and villages, being under
military law, the rules are very .strict; no
one must be found outside the town after
dark without special pass from the COM
mandant, and all letters are examined be-
fore they are permitted to be posted.
1t is not the intention of the Prusslans to
storm Metz; should they attempt such an
enterprise their losses would be dreadful,
and most probably would lead to defeat;
therefore, their intention at present Is
merely to harass the occupants by keeping
up a continual fire, and eventually to starye
them out. No doubt the fall OF Metz VIII
make % great change to the country. Inc
Prussians will either retain it or keep II as
neutral ground, and dismatie it. The tall
Of Sedan settled the fate of the empire;
but with the fall of Metz all will be over.
All night long. as l write, French prisoners
have been passing through the village,
coming in from Sedan, Metz. and other
places, on their way to Germany. Last
night $50 officers passed through, one OF
whom was accompanied by his wife ana
daughter, who were permitted to JON the
wretched procession.

Prince Frederick Charles, who fred

of September, in honor of the victory gained
by the Prussians at Sedan, has commenced
the work of destruction. The whole OF the
troops now round Metz, amounting to nearly
two hundred thousand men. are undertake
entire command of Prince Frederick Charles.
They are, however, divided into two di-
visions. one of which is under the direction
of Prince Frederick Charles, comprising
men of the second, third and ninth regi-
ments Of the third army corps, and one di-
vision Of Landwehr, amounting to ABOUT
fifteen thousand men. The other division
is under General Steinmetz, who has under
his command men of the first, seventh and
eighth regiments of the first army corps.
They have at present no large siege guns at
Metz, they being all employed at Strasburg.
The heaviest guns used there at present are

hemmed in in his fortress, the Prussians
having entirely surrounded it, and opened

crop at not less than $4,000 bales-a
larger crop than has been produced since

Spring and Summer, 1904 70


II has been our pleasure to report from day
today, during the now expiring season, In
way Of advertising and Journalistic record
generally, the commercial enterprise and
general activity Of the above house. Few
Of our young merchants have so energeti-
cally labored, and, la the short time with
US, achieved that prominence which is
unqualifediy awarded TO the house by the
community. Hopeful and most promis-
ing as their success and prospects were
during past seasons, the expiring season
of spring and summer, 1870, gives b
house that standard in the community,
which, for integrity of character, princi-
ciples regulating the business OF the
house, and general departments OF princi-
pal and employees, merited the liberal
and well-bestoWe patronage of our citi-
gems, and meritdd the full confidence of all
patrons having an acquaintance with the
house. During the entire season, the
most select stocks of Dress Goods, No
ions and Fancy Goods have been kept,
and imported from the leading marts and
manufactures. 4
One other feature land one second 10 no
other interest TO the customer) is charac
teristic of the house, and bids fair to rival
that Of any other dry goods house In the
country, viz: That Herzog & Bros prices
of goods are the lowest quoted. The
smallest prOnbs are ADDED 70 the Cost OF
goods, and, thereby, quick sales effected.
During June and July their advertise
ments have been read by every reader of
the APPEAL, and testified to, upon a call,
as to their correctness. During the month
OF August, preparatory for the fall open
ing, still greater inducements are offered,
and when once advertised, buyers of goods
may takeit for granted to be 80. Mr.. Her
cog tour friend lLee) will make the fall
purchases, and, with his sua good taste,
cater to the refined taste Of his many
friends and customers. We ioOk for a
gorgeous display when the season opens,
and bespeak a success for the fall which
is we'll deserved and worthy of our sincere
congratulations.

LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA.

The attention of the readers Of the AP-
PEAL is directed to the well-displayed
and attractive advertisement of the Life
Association of America, a ubiquitous cor
poration = found everywhere north,
south, east and west-and which has
claims of like character as a "local" insti-
tuition, upon every section. 1t is repre-
sented by many of the most energetic
men of the country, and as a consequence
has already achieved a success as grand
as Ii is exceptional in life insurance bust
ness. The Department of Tennessee is
not the least of the grand divisions of
this great institution. It ranks with the
best; because, during its existence 1t has
accomplished as much as any in
the same time. The exhibit of progress
made in the advertisement of h Life
Association alluded to is really astOnish-
ing. The amount of business done, and
the small ratio of policies terminated "
to policies issued are incontestible
proofs of its healthy vigor and the conf
dence of its policy-holders. Its success
and its proposals merit careful ~inYestiga-
ton, and make it an enterprise of impor-
lance to Memphis and vicinity, and to the
country. Its chief representatives here
are G. B. Wexford, secretary, and Colonel
J. G. Alexander, gentlemen of acknowI-
edged business capacity, of ~unflagging
energy and industry, whose names and
presence alone would infuse life and ac-
tivity into any enterprise to which they
would lend their efforts. Sustained and
supported, as they are, by sixty of the
most prominent merchants in this city,
each of whom holds a $4,000 policy and
are trustees of the Department of Tennes-
see. BAL. -eF'EHr ID

THE HOME INSURANCE COMPANY OF
NEW HAVEN, CONN.

So much has been said and written
during the past six months ~endeavoring
to prove this Company unworthy of conf
dence that we take pleasure in calling at
tenti0n to the July statement in another
column, showing that although the stock
holders at a meeting, June 18th, inTiew of
the numerous losses during the past year.,
stock to half a million, pocketing the loss
themselves. The Company still has oUer
a million OF dollars IN good assets, and
stands ready to meet all just and honora-
BILE losses, as she has done during the past
ten years, fairly and promptly. An entire
new Board Of Directors, with @. S. Bush-
nell, Esq, a man of large experience
and ample means, at its head, has
been elected, and with the Cpmpany's
attention directed exclusively to Fire
Insurance, abandoning the marine, lake
and river business, which has proved a
source of loss from the first, we may rea-
sonsbly presume for the Company a pros
porous career in the future. Our citizens
have no cause of complaints to make
against the Home" or her agents, III. Il.
TomlinsOn & Co., for every loss she has
sustained during the psst seven years
land they have not been few or far be-
tween has been promptly and equitably
settled and without quibbling.
Under the new regime, our friend Colo
mel II. II. TOmlinson is the COmpany's
special agent fos Tennessee and Missis-
sippi, to adjust all losses which may occur,
and the firm of II. T. Tomlinson q Co.,
No.f7 Madison street, the representatives
for Memphis, and by their record for the
past seven years are fully entitled to the
confidence and patronage of the commu-
nity. We advise our friends desiring
reliable insurance to call on them.

MEMPHIS AND RALEIGH Road.

The books of this company are now
opened at No. z Madison street to receive
subscriptions, in sash or lands, at a cash
valuation. We hope hst this enterprise
will not be permitted to die out through
the apathy of its friends. To build a
road of this character it requires material
aid from the citizens. We do not think
the people along the line and at Raleigh
can afford to let this, to them important
enterprise, fall through. In q few years,
with this road in successful operation, we
predict an almost continuous street, lined
on either side with beautiful residences,
the entire length, and Raleigh itself con
tanning a magnificent hotel seeommoda-
ting four or i've hundred guests, together
with schools OF a high order, and a popu-
lation of Eve or six Thousand inhabitants.
Lands necessarily be enhanced in
value to an extent beyond the expecta-
tons of many who are Withholding their
subscriptions, in hopes, perhaps, that the
road will be built without the material
aid necessary On the part of those who
ought to be largely interested in its i'm
mediate construction.
It will take five oil six months after the
contracts are made to bring the iron and
build the cars and engines, and every
days delay in making the necessary sub
scrIptions delays the construction that
much, wen il it does not defeat the en-
terprise altogether. Will the people let
this enterprise die putt? We trust not,
but that all will conn promptly forward
n subscribe literally.
