Louls1ANA's GREAT NEED
The following is from the Baton
Rouge Gazette AMI Comet, OF
Aug. 2:
There seems to be an unusual
demand for labor in our parish
just at the present moment. We
are informed that different par
ties in the community are offer
ing wood choppers from one dol
lar and a quarter to one dollar
and half per cord, and are una
BILE to engage any at even those
high wages. From six to twelve
dollars per thousand are offered
for stave timber, and from hands
command farm one to two dollars
per day. So great is the demand
and 80 limited the supply, that it
is safe to say that FIVE thousand
additional laborers could End
ready employment at the above
liberal wages in this immediate
section. As the season advances
ddSa5teedlJy" az increase a e III unless the
crops should be cut short by un-
foreseen accidents, an event that
is by no means likely to occur.
We should be pleased to have
our Northern exchanges make q
note of this demand for labor in
our parish, so that possibly thrift
ty and reliable white laborers
from that section may be induced
to come among Us. We promise
all immigrants Of this character
a cordial welcome, and steady
employment at good wages.

KAPp.-Fred. Kapp, who now
lives at Walluff on the Rhine, is
the regular correspondent Of the

Bismarck would not come; he
alleged illhealth. whilst in reality
he was never as healthy. as then.
But he privately told everybody
who wished to hear it that the
King might eat his Spanish soup
by himself, ~ he alone had pre-
pared it. The "old gentleman"

Kapp then goes on relating q

Bismarck six weeks before the
outbreak of the present war,
Tue correspondent had asKeo
Bismarck why he had not declar-

of the Luxembourg question!
Bismarck answered:
I'VE were better prepared in

owing to the advance of the German forces.
FRENCH MILITARY RESOURCES.
There Is no lack Of French troops in and around
the city. Their numbers are estimated as high as
fifty thousand; but their discipline is not perfect
and what is worse than all, they are badly of1cered
As regards the desences of Havre the situation is

cations, ON which one hundred and fifty guns are
mounted.
DEFICIENCIES.
In addition there are number OF French iron
clads in the harbor which VIII participate in the
defence One great want Of the French, however,
Is cavalry. The marked deficiency in this respect
enables the Germans to continue their advance with
but little resistance and without their movements
being watched and ascerJained with that precision
SO necessary in warfare
EXTREME RESISTANCE RESOLVED ON.
It Is stated, though the statement has not been
verified, that the military authorities have decided
1t to be impossible to defend the village Of Hondeur,
situated three and half miles northeast Of the
city, In Of the capture OF this place IL is feared
that the heights around it will command Hayre.
Nevertheless It is generally believed that the city
can stand siege. The military md the people are

BATTLE EXPECTED. 100 ~,
The prussan advance was expected to enter the
valley near Montivtlllers on the following day de-
cember 10y. As stated already, their march has
been thus far steady and almost unopposed. The
French army. under General BRAND has, however
left Havre for the purpose Of meeting the Germans.
A battle is therefore regarded as imminent. 1t will
probably take place near Montivillers place OF
some size, about five miles northeast of Havre.
PROPERTY REa0vED AND IN DANGER.
In view Of the probable Investment and lombard
uent OF Havre, the Inhabitants are shipping their
money and valu& les to England. Part Of these have
already arrived and are st arriving There are in
Hayre not less than $4,000 resident foreigners
whom the impending siege has thrown into con-
stcrnatlon. There is also shipping In the bort
valued al $500 O0 but 1t Is expected that many
OF the ships with their cargees, VIII be able to leave
| before the bombardment begins
AFTER THE GERMAN RESIDENTS
| An order has been issued for the Immediate ex-
pulsion Of all the Germans residing in the city.
| Many Of these have placed themselves under tho
protection OF the American Consul at the port but
! they will undoubtedly be made TO leave.
