Barbnrity.
ORoyILLE, CAL, August 23.-0roville
was cursed last night with one of those
terrible outrages which disgrace civilized
communities. G.. 0leson was confined
to jail for the killing of one M. Logan.
His bond had been fixed by the examin-
ing magistrate at $4,000, but he had
failed to give it, and was still in Jail.
About two o'clock this morning a crowd
Of men, estimated at from thirty to fifty,
surrounded the court house square.
Sentinels were posted at each gate. An
other body then entered the jailers
room, in the basement, and overpowered
him and Mr.. Van Vera, who is also un-
der-sheriff, and, after some parley, OBJ
tanned the keys of the Jail and Of the
cell. But none knew how to use them,
nd the sheriff absolutely refused to inn
art the knowledge. Instruments had
cen prepared, and were then used on
the jail door, which was broken open,
and afterwards the cell door where Ole
son was confined. What then transpired
no one dare contemplate. The floor OF
the cell is covered with blood, and some
large stones were found in it. They
then took their miserable victim,
wounded and bleeding, and begging for
mercy, and whose cries were heard by
many citizens residing near, from the
court house to the derrick at the depot,
and there hung him. The appearance
of the body shows, so far as any one. can
Judge, that he must have been dead be-
fore he had been hung up. In the morn
ing all was quiet.

Our venerable friend Of the West Ten.
nessee Wing, whose eccentric course,
seemed TO doom Democracy, and sur
prised us not a little, has to some ex
tent fairly caved in. He says, nom:
If there was an effort being made Of
this time, anywhere in the State, TO re-
viye the old Wing party, would oppose
the movement. But there is no such
effort; no such wish by any ex-Whig in
the State-and none know il better than
those who make the charge, that such an
object is in view.
The lapse of a few weeks, and the har-
mony that would not be disturbed, have
wrought a wonderful change in those
who started out to have their way. al
though it might endanger the success of
the opposition to Radicalism. We are
glad Of this, and hope that at no time in
the future those whose efforts are to be
made shoulder to shoulder against a
common enemy, shall be estranged.
With the restoration Of good govern
ment, all the arts of peace may be cul-
tivated, for industry and integrity and
intelligence will then be sure of their re-
compense. The bonds of amity will be
strengthened, for honesty and not Chi
canery viii prevail, and the general veal
be protected at the expense of selhshness
that has run riot through the land under
the protection Of ill-gained and worse

NAPOLEON GONE UP.

In the face of the dispatches received
yesterday, and the corroborative inteili'
gence published this morning, the news
is indeed startling. 1t would seem that
the accounts Of French successes and
the Prussians being driven into the
Mouse were the reverse OF the truth
Mcmahon, having been wounded, did
not command and the French forces
were directed by Wimpfen, the successor
of Failly. The dispatch Of King William
leaves no aoubt of the extent of the dis
aster, and it may be received as almost
the closing act Of the drama. 1t GER
tainly shuts off the Napoleon dynasty.
Those who express surprise at and I'M
belief Of the Emperor's capture should
remember that he was i'll at Sedan, and
unable to get away. Besides, whittier
should he go7 Though the way to Paris
was open, that was no healthy place for

cause of all their troubles and misfor-
tunes, and a Partisan populace have
been known to have little respect for
powerless crowned heads. We take 1T,
therefore, that Napoleon preferred to
trust to King William. rather than haz-
ard his very life with the Parisians.
With the destruction of McMahon's
army there is nothing to intervene be-
tween the victor and the capital. In
day or two at farthest the smoke will,
have cleared Off and there may be room
at least allowed for conjecture as to the
future. Until then all is doubt and
mystery.

BISMARCK.

Rev. NJ. d. Conway, the war cores

describes an interview with the Prussian
Prime Minister:

self and an American journalist, in
whose company i happened to be. See

BERLIN, September IA sanguinary
battle was fought on Friday along the
line from Morey to Dorsey, com
mencing at FIVE o'clock in the morning.
Mcmahon resisted the Prussian attack
until three o'clock in the afternoon.
The firing was incessant and furious
along the entire line of both armies, and
continued with fearful destructiveness
and slaughter. The fire slackened and
ceased at half-past three o'clock pm.
At that moment solid column of the
Prussians, bayonet in hand, advanced to
the assault. The crisis was now to be
decided by the bayonet. Quickly did
the Prussians move, and with over
whelming impetus they precipitated
themselves on McMahon's lines at all
points. The French unavailingly strug.
gled, but were defeated, routed and
driven in an utter disorderly mass across
the Mouse. The Prussians were victo-
rious and held the entire field lately
occupied by the French. The slaughter
was fearful, from the awful fire which
had been necessarily maintained for ten
hours. The rout of the French was

mentarily expected.

which so exasperated them was not
really Republican, but was forced upon
