| The enthusiasm FOR the war with France is ON the
The Increase The Young called on for military
service respond with The greatest alacriy. The
universities and academies closed, students and
artists taking voluntary service. Associations are
formed To take care OF The wounded and in spite
OF the heavy taxes incurred patriotic gifts 10 large
I amounts are already offered 10 the government
The start which the French have got by their plan
ming the war for long tme while Overlooking with
Assurances Of peace, will soon be neutraized when
the German armies win he concentrated, which win
be effected in short time, The first headquarters,

then move forward. Tbe fOriresses on the Rhine
are in an excellent state OF defence.
From all foreign nations meet with sympathy

The Prussian Generals Nogel Won Falkenstein and
Manteune. then opposed 10 Bavaria, have been cor
daily welcomed NJ Munich Even at Hanover a
popular meeting has declared that they stand by
Germany and have teegrapned to Count Bismarck
their resolution TO fight ''the common enemy"
Thus FAR France has miscalcuated, II she ex-
pecred that any German State would remain indil-
ferent TO the common cause. AT Munich, where the
Chamber recently elected is ruled by majority of
uGramontanes, the committee 10 which The money
grant for the referred 10 reported that only
so much should be voted as was necessary 10 keep
up an armed neutrality. This caused so great an en-
element that the Chamber had 10 be guarded by the
military ana the ultimate vote was I0l Al for the
war grant. In the contrary case, the Chamber
would have been dissolved ana new elections wOuld
have given an overwhelming majority To the govern
men. The same Is the case IN WurLemberg, where
The people are enthusiastic for the war ana totally
adverse to the deputies elected under different cir
cumsrances.
COMMERCIAL ASPECT.
Things look therefore satisfactory enough with re-
French
that their military promenade on the line is
serious than they expected But In commercial
afars II Is different; the havoc already made is
peDdous. Mills are closed and the work people
without any means OF existence. Trade is paraiyzed,
credit are lat their wits end how TO meet The storm
At the banks business was all but at an end yester
day, foreign bills c0ud not be sold, and money not
10 be got at any price, so that our principal firms

All this ia the work Of one bad man, who cares
about nothing but his pride and his lust OF conquest.
We cannot impress too much on foreign nations
that the blow Is AIMED al them well az at us. Take

porous trade with their countrymen and ar1icted by
