BERLIN, Aug. 31.-The Prussians are
sending street locomotives to aid in placing
heavy guns before Strasbourg.
The National Gazette ON Interyen-
ton.
BERLIN, Aug. 31-The National Ga
zette of to-day has the following import
ant intelligence. 1t is understood that the
neutral powers are corresponding actively.
No result has as yet been attained, except
the resolution that each power mus, &C
quaint the rest with any individual move.
The evident purpose is still to intervene
at some stage of the war, though Prussiq
regards the movement as having been
contemplated entirely too late
This Intervention has already been
almost Extensively announced from Wen
ma and Florence. Prussia objects, and
especially to the course of Italy. The
latter has threatened complications,
requiring an indescribable solution.
Forcedto fight or submit to great sacrifices,
rather than let neutrals profit from our
troubles, all the powers of the earth shall
not stop US half way in our war of self
preservation. England has also preached
her intention to intervene, but she never
meant an armed intervention. The in
terest of Europe demands the cessation of
all such attempts.

ments of the Prussian Armies.
BERLIN, Aug. 31.-At a meeting of
notables here last evening an address to
the King was framed, protesting against
permitting foreign Intervention, which
would deprive Prussia of reward for late
victories. The sacrifices of Germany
alone should be heard. Germany was
willing to confide ali to the King of Prus-
STA in establishing peace, not again to be
wantonly broken.
The splendid library at Strasbourg has
been destroyed by the vigorous lombard
ment.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The cores
pondent of the Tribune telegraphs from
Berlin this evening: The advance guard,
18th corps, yesterday successfully en-
gagged the troops of the 5th corps
at Nourt Trustworthy accounts put
Mcmahon on the line from Meziers to
Sedan, with his right wing on the rail-
road from Meziers to Rethel, the extern
sion of his left wing from Sedan, to-
wards Longuey. 1t is not fully known
that the railroad from Meziers to Thion-
vile has been destroyed at two points by
German troops.
The reported suspension of travel on
the line from Paris to Calais, and Paris
to Brussels, creates the belief that Nc
Mahon's army will be eventually trans
ferred by the northern railway to Paris.
This opinion is strengthened by the re-
port of the presence of the Prince I'm
perial. OBJ .-I

Railway Obstructions-The Chaos
| of Paris.
LONDON, Aug. 30.-A cable special to
the Tribune says the announcement that
communication between London and Pa
ris had been stopped is apparently pre-
mature. Railway officials say the train
viii start at the usual time this evening. p
A correspondent of the Tribune writes
from Paris Tuesday evening At least
80, 900 troops left to-day by northern
railroads, destination unknown. Plenty
of troops are left in town, and they are
still swarming, especially marines and
sailors, who apparently are to be trusted
with its defense. TIE Bots de Bologne
has been closed since yesterday evening.
Eight hundred wagons, containing
household goods, passed yesterday through
.Artwell gate alone The Inhabitants of
the enYiroAs are crowding into Paris
and camp in the streets and squares, una
bic to obtain lodging without paying in
advance. Ali Parisians are leaving who

The working classes are still vainly
asking for arms.
Another correspondent writes on the
same date: We can no longer depend on
the mails. The Northern railways are
blocked with all sorts of luggage, goods,
trunks, grain and provisions from England.
1t will probably soon be either cut by the
Prussians or wholly occupied for military
service. Passenger and freight trains are
stopped; express and mail still go.
The project of police has issued
notice that persons wishing to leave Paris
require no passports.
Provision for the siege arrive in enor-
nous quantities there. Fifty hundred
weight of -four, fifteen hundred weight of
rice have been stored away in the city; one
hundred Thousand oxen and half million
of sheep are in Bots de Bologne; sixty
millions of rstions of preserved meats,
Shree months supply of salt, spices, sugar |
aid Golfer and six months supply of wine 1
and spirits have been stored away in
private families to supply their own |
groceries, and other shops are surrounded |
by purchasers and their entrance is regula-
ted by police. The governments asks the
farmers to bring all their supplies to Paris,
promising them fair prices for the same.

RALEIGH, Aug. 90.-Holden's Standard
this morning pitches into the New York
Times and Tribune for accusing Holden
of garbling Judge Tourgee's letter con-
corning the outrages, as follows:
"We have but few words to say to you,
gentlemen of the Times and Tribune,
and they are these: That you deem these
Southern Governors officious, but not
more so than you are yourselves. So
much 80 that we are forced to admit that
PomerOy's Democrat contains more truth
than either you, or all your ilk of papers
combined We are pleased to place you
on the side of rebellion, Ku Kluxism and
treason, willing subjects of the Lost
Cause, and unwilling servants slaves of

Preach to the Children.

Too much attention cannot be given by
pastors to children. Not only should they
be encouraged to attend the regular services
of the sanctuary, but whenever practicable,
the church prayer meetings. 1t would be well
also, if pastors would preach at regular in
tervals not less than once month. to the
children of their Sabbath schools. They
would be surprised to find, by adapting their
discourses to the capacities of their little
auditors, how often the truth makes lodg-
ment in their hearts. The great DR.. Chal-
mers took much delight in preaching to
children, and many eminent divines, follow
ing his example, have been very successful
in gathering the lambs of the flock into the
fold of the Good Shepherd. The above re-
marks were suggested by the following par
agraph which we clip from an exchange:
PROFESSIONALLY, every minister ought to
preach to the children. But when? Once
month, of Sunday afternoon, or always,
whenever he breaches to his ordinary con-
gregation? For our part we like to have the
children "sit at the table" We do not al
together believe in shutting them out while
the grown folks are eating, to come in after
wards for meal by themselves. What a
cherries hour is the dinner hour when their
bright faces and merry voices are missing
So in the Lords house and on His day, let
old folks and young gather together, and let
the pastor feed both sheep and lambs. There
is no objection to a monthly "children's ser
vice" in addition, provided it does not abSolve
the pastor from furnishing and the children
from expecting spiritual food on ordinary
occasions. Pastor, let the boys and girls of
your congregation feel that your regular ser
vices are for them, as well as for the fathers
and mothers.
