Cable Dispatches to the New York
Papers.


NEW YoRK, August ia TTt-
batne special. dated London, Wednes-
day Aug. 10Th, evening. says the latest
official dispatch dated Metz, Aug. 9th,
evening, states that the Emperor went
that morning to the headquarters of
Marshal Bazaine, who had resumed
command of the troops around Metz.
This is an an indirect way of CONTRA
dieting the rumor that Marshal Baz-
aine was to be made Generalisimo of
the Army of the Rhine. The Empe-
ror is blind to his own incompetency,
and disregarding the general outcry
against it, will cling to the chic
command Of the army until another
defeat exhausts thesnational patience.
He gives out that he never will re-
turn to Paris alive, unless as con-
queror.
The La France asserts that the
Prince Imperial, whose return to
Paris was rumored by all the papers
yesterday, is still with his papa at the
theater of war, and that he will not
come back unless the Chambers ex-
pressly desire it.
NEW York, August 1.-THE CITY
abounded with rumors about the war
yesterday: The abdicatioa of Ma.
poleon; the revolution in Paris, and
the fresh victory for the Prussians
were brought into service in Wall
Street to depress the gold market
Among other stories which obtained
currency was one that the Empress
Eugene had telegraphed over the
cable to Delmonico to provide quar-.
tiers for herself and Louis. Jr. Re-
porters interviewed the Messrs. Del.
monico on the subject, and found
those gentlemen In dense Ignorance Of
the proposed honor.

THE New York World, in speaking
of protecting the city against such
horrors as the Nathans murder, says,
" We hear great deal ever and anon
of the raids made by the police at
night upon the lost women who per-
ambulate our thoroughfares. Why
do we hear nothing of raids by day
and by night upon the still more
dangerous lost men who equally with
these unhappy creatures roam our
pavements In search of prey?" The
World makes q double point, and
both are worthy of serious attention.
The roughs !" of the cities are never
disturbed In their dens until some
crime sends policeman among them
in search of the perpetrator, and their
gatherings on the corners are gem
orally unmolested. In London they
are required to move on" but in
New York they may come out In
gangs and take Broadway. Several
years ago a policeman overlook a wo-
man going to her work in millinery
store, and under the impression that
she was q street woman, struck her
with his club and knocked her down.
She was laid up for weeks from her In
juries and the effects of fright. This
fact was commented on at the time as
showing how abandoned women are
treated by those whose duty it is to pro-
tect all. These unfortunate women
are attacked upon the street. and pc
riodic raids are made upon their
houses, while the low-browed rough
plots his thefts and murders in his
den In security, and walks the streets
at night to watch his victims aud to
penetrate into the most costly man
sions 10 the most populous aud secure
portions of the city.
The World very well knews the
reason for the unhappy coD1Ition of af-
fairs in New York City, if it only had
the honesty to state it. In New
! York, roughs and thieves vote the
Democratic ticket. and elect as judges
the still greater scoundrels who per-
NIT them to carry on their outrsges
with impunity. THE ''Iost women
have DO votes, aud consequently, no
protection or pity.

near the Wachitss when tie Indians,
seeing that the troops were only about
sixty in number, attacked them. A
severe fight ensued, in which two
soldiers were killed and six wounded.
Two of the Indians were killed, and
several wounded.
The troops fell back to Jacksboro,
and being reinforced, pursued the In
dams, but could not overtake them.
All the Camanches have left the war
camps and gone off together. 1t is
rumored that they desire peace.
The Kiowas, Apaches and Chey-
ennes still hold together.
A general election in the ChoctaW
Nation took place on Wednesday
The result is not yet known. Three
candidates were in the field for Chief
Forbes Leftlove, William Bryant and
Coleman Nelson. The former on the
platform of 1866. Gov. Hardy Walker
and Judge Trahem were opposition
candidates for the Senate from thu
SullyvilIe District.

Indian Affairs.

MEMPHIS. August 11.-Jndian af-
fairs near Ft. Sell are still IN an nm
settled condition. The Kiowas and
Cheyennes are still on the war path.
and are committing depredations in
Texas. A party of twenty Indians
attacked Manerly's rancho. near the
mouth of the little Wachita. in Texas,
on the 18th of July, killing a man
named l.. G. Ware. from Illinois, and
wounded another man.
About the 10th of July, a large
party of Indians numbering about
$50, raided into Cook and Montague
Counties, Texas, and killed a man
named COOLER and carried his wife
AND five children of, four of the lat
ter being young women. A party Of

Another Letter from Gen. WIN.

Another Letter from Gen. Which.
General August Which has writ
ten letter to his friends in Cincin-
natl from Dresden, under date of July
16, from which we extract as follows:
"This morning at three o'clock the
order to mobilize the troops was re-
ceived. At this moment the cannon
and field pieces of the Saxon army
rumble past my hotel, getting ready to
march,.
1.-THE murderous adventurer, Louis
Napoleon, seems threatening to COM
NIT aIbuecaneer raid against Germany,
and has succeeded in stimulating the
French vanity in such a degree that
they are like madmen for the robbery
of Germany.
Trustworthy rumors say that Aus.
tria has demanded of Prussia to leave
behind the Saxon army corps, in de-
fault of which Austria would march
with France.
1t is said that In Venice the pas
sion and hatred against the Prussians
are excited to the highest degree.
The French are said to have pene-
trated over night into the Rhenish
provinces, and to have blown up the
railroad bridge at Mayence. Let them
come. The German Michael (syno-
Dym for Yankee-ED.) seems to have
awakened, and to be angry, and she
further the French penetrate, the
more surely will they be welcomed to
hospitable graves.
In all quarters which yet possess
a spark of patriotism the feeling pre-
dominates that every portion of the
German people. and every man Of
German origin who will, On this occa-
sion, make common cause with the
French, should be eradicated from
the earth.

THE Notifications of Paris, accord
ing to contemporary. consist Of bas-
toned and terraced wall. with thirty
four feet of escarpement, faced with
masonry. presenting ninety-four an
eular fronts, and a continuous ditch
twenty-five miles in circuit, embracing
both banks of the Seine. This sys-
tenn of defense is completed By seven
teen detached forts, each in itself a
strong fortress. Within the fortihca-
tions is a continuous carriage road p.
and within that railroad which con-
meets with the five grand lines of rail-
way that radiate from Paris to the
boundaries of France. The $4,000
troops usually garrisoned within and
around Paris are quartered in thirty
barn eks within the line Of fortified
lions. Beside these troops, the city
has a national guard. numbering
about 10000 men. in which all citi-
zens between twenty-five and fifty are
liable to be called into service. Paris
is, therefore, vast intrenched camp
bristliDg with outlying citadels con-
structed according to the most ap-
proved rules of modern military SCI
ence, supplied with every engine of
