Capture of tho Counterfeitcr of tho Shoe and

Bill Quincy one OF the most notorious counter

plan which resulted in success:--
He sent OF his detectives to Jake Buck n

Tho Case Of Rev. George Naturalization of
the Fairfield County Church Folks.

The Case of Rev. George Standardization of
the Fairfield County Church Folks.
The Consolation OF Fairfield County (East Con.
necticut, commenced on Wednesday for the purpose
OF taking into consideration the recent troubles in
the FIRST or North Congregational church of Bridge
port, or rather the resignation OF the Rev. George
Richards, who was recently charged with having
been guilty OF gross iInpr0preties towards certain
ladies OF his congre CATION, which led TO his resgna-
ton. Both the church and society In accepting the
resignation OF Mr.. Richards voted also to request the
consolation TO grant Mr. Richards his dlsmssion
with the usual letters OF commentator to other So
cieties.
At the meeting OF the consolation one member
proposed to present paper signed by about 200
members OF the church or society who had pledged
themselves to support Mr.. Richards; but it was de.
cided to be 1nadmissible. Rev. Mr.. Beardsley also
proposed to read the dispositions of the ladies who
had complained OF the conduct Of Mr.. Richards
towards them, when warm discussion ensued and
resulted In the consolation going into secret
sion, when the following resolutions were adopted:-

THE SiTUA TON.

On Wednesday last we expressed the opinion that
II the Prussians advanced from Metz a battle would

OF the Argonne forests Dispatches from Paris give

tween verduu and Cha.ons. While Il Is quite pro.

reported TO be opposed to Marshal MacMahon ia IN at
OF Prince Frederick Charles, while the Crown Prince
Is said to be continuing hts march on Paris What
the strength OF the force Is remaining before Metz we
are not informed but 1t certainly be consider

must have succeeded In eXtrcating itself from the
vicinity OF Metz. Whether it has actually formed
Junction with the main army OF MacMabon is a pro-
bem which a few days will solve. IL Is altogether
likely that Prince Frederick Charles Is enceavoring
to prevent a junction between The forces near ST.
Menehould and those nearVerdun ana Montmedy, in
which It would be MacMahon's ann to decline
battle, and move by rapid marches in northeast d.
recton to verdun wherehe could fight an advantage
by having powerful force cooperating with him on
the flank rear Of the Germans. AS we understand
the French are in danger Of having their two main
armies again divided, and their avoidance OF this
depends solely upon the superior strategic Skill OF
MacMahOn. IL he can outmanGuvre the Prussan5
we are likely to have another series or battles near
Metz. 1t Is difficult however, to form any clear idea
OF the position OF either army. All the dispatches
are partisan In character tnat but
little reliance can be placed upon them.
The despatch, for instance, reporting MacMahon
as having left Rheims protect Paris, thereby i'm.
plying that he Is falling back, Is manifestly absurd

upon the French capital when he had shorter
ana better rou,e along the railroad direct from
Chalons. We doubt If he ever had any other men
Of his army at Rheims excepting those sent by rail-
road TO Montmedy.
Speculation on tho movements OF either army Is
impossible now, the dispatches unntelligibe.
1t Is dilcult to imagine what large bodies Of Ger
man troops are doing so lar south Chaumont and
Brlenne. these places being entirely out Of their line
OF march On Paris. Detachments OF cavalry may
be raiding through the country levying contribu-
