Tie mammoth ST. Louis steamer Thomp-
son Dean was at the yharf yesterday morn
ing, and with freight list, as usual, sut1i-
cient to fill several warehouses; and when
she leaves Tuesday evening, will doubtless
take away people enough 10 fill several
hotels. She is certainly immense. Our
raaders are requested to call on Captain
Pepper or Mr.. Fowler, and take a look at
that boat.

We may expect that Cuban bonds
will shortly be put into the market,
as a passenger arrived here yester-
day from Havana with nine hundred
and sixty thousand dollars in amount
of these bonds, very prettily engraved and
printed in Spanish, which were secreted
from the vigilance Of the customs officers
at Havana. They were smuggled through
the army lines. The bonds are of the de-
nomination of five hundred and one thou
sand dollars.

Weissenburg in way of a mere raid,
and Saturday morning they were equal
" ready with Marshal McMahon TO
give battle.
The Prussian forces appear to have
advanced to a little village called
Worth, situated about ten miles south
east of Weissenburg, and on the east
ern slope Of the Vosges mountains, near
the line of the railway connecting
Bitche and Strasbourg. The story of
the battle is very briefly and very
plainly told in the official dispatch of
the Crown Prince: "McMahon was
totally beaten. and the French have re
tired upon Bitche." Subsequent dis
patches state that the Prussians cap
tured four thousand prisoners, one
hundred of whom were officers, thirty
cannon and six mitrailleuses. After
ward the Prussians advanced on
Hagenau, situated sixteen miles north
of Strasbourg, and now hold that
place.
While the left wing was striking this
heavy blow at McMahon, the center of
the Prussian army was doing equally
valiant service at Ssrrbruck. II seems
that some time on Friday or Saturday
the French Second Corps, un-
der the command of General Frossard,
advanced beyond Saarbruek into Prus-
sian territory. 1t was not long before
they were met and driven back by the
German troops, under the command of
Gen. Won Cohen. Of the losses sus-
tanned in this battle there are no re
ports, from either French or Prussian
sources. But the French were driven
back, though to what place is not set
forth. Prussian dispatches state that
the French were concentrating at
Metz, but it is hardly probable that
with only single corps of the French
army engaged, as it is stated there
was, and with others within easy sup
porting distance, at Metz and at Thion-
vile, it is hardly probable we say that
the retreat would have been carried so
far. Indeed, official dispatches report
Gen. Frossard as still on the frontier,
and Napoleon announces from Metz
that he is himself about to take po-
sition in the foremost ranks. But still
the situation is desperate enough.

the whole amount will not fall short of
$4,000.
There is to be an extensive Railroad

one half mile below the iron bridge, and

the Railroad bridge are already busily

the mines being at Peytona, about go
miles above our village. The coal is
boated down to the mouth of Coal
river, in barges, and is then taken in
charge by the Company, and shipped
to various points. The camel coal is
the finest and best coal in the woEld,
having this advantage-making bril-
liant light, and warm fires, be-

Ny DEAR JOURNAL
The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher astonished the worship
pers at Plymouth Church, last summer,
by prefacing his sermon with the ex-
plosiye remark, that it ''was hot as
h-ll," subsequently explaining that
he had heard little boy use the pro-
fame language as he was on his way to
the church. If the Reverend gentle
man has been much on the street DUR

that be has heard that same remark a
thousand times. Hot! Why, that is

The absorbing excitement of the
city is the Franco-Prussian war. The

and large and enthusiastic meetings
are being held, overlooking with SYM

element is not SO demonstrative. News
of the first battle is anxiously looked
for, and bets are being made as 10 re-
suits. Values are becoming unsettled,
and l fear the effect on business will be
very demoralizing. Who can foresee
the result of this rash war? Will they
not be terrible? l must confess to a
leaning toward the French, though it
is the unpopular side at present. If
Napoleon is unreasonable and ambi-
tious, William is no less so. The most

STABBING AFFRAY AT MARIoN.-Last
Wednesday was show day at Marion,
and as usual, somebody must have a
fuss. A party from Greasy Ridge and
below, and another, elevated by ben
zine, got into quarrel near the
bridge, which came to blows and final
ly cuts. The usual display of rusty
revolvers, a young man named Tagg,
badly pounded, and another named
Banks Dillon, severely, perhaps fat ally
stabbed, was the result. Deputy Sher-
iff Miller brought in two men who had
been held to answer before Esq. Neal,
named Alonzo and Joseph Gilmore,
the former in $500 and the latter in
800 bond, and they are now in jail

The European War-The Prus-
SLAMS gain two Victories.

The news from Europe is becoming
startling. Since our last issue the
Prussians have gained two important
victories, and the French forces have
been driven back to their interior lines
of defense. The French are alarmed,
and Paris has been declared in state
of siege--the Chambers have been con-
voked, and the Empress, as Regent,
has been compelled to issue an appeal
to the patriotism of the people. 1t is
acknowledged that the situation of
Napoleon is grave in the extreme.
The swift march of events for the
past week are thus briefly told by the
Cincinnati Gazette:
Last Thursday, the Prussian forces.
under the command of the Crown
Prince Frederick William, attacked
and carried Weissenburg, driving be-
fore them General Douay's Division
OF the First Corps. Stung by this de-
feat and approaching the Importance
OF regalning the position he had lost,
Marshal McMahon, commander of the
First Corps. determined to avenge the
losses his, forces had sustained, and
drive the victors back to their own
territory. Accordingly, Friday even.
ing, after slight brush with the enc
my, he advanced and occupied strong
position on the Bayarian frontier. But
the Prussian force, consisting at the
time Weissenburg was occupied of
two Prussian Army Corps and one
corps of Baden troops, and without
doubt largely increased by subsequent
arrivals, had not taken possession of
