Napoleon is said to have pablished d
pamphlet, in which he states thet his
original plan in the prosecution OF the
war was to invade Germany. separate the
Northern from the Southern Confedera-
Gon. secure an alliance with Austria and
Italy, and impose neutrality on Bavaria,
Badeaa and Wurtemberg. The failure of
this plan caused the retreat on Chalons,
and this move being disapproved by the
regency as discouraging to the people,
Ee yielded his own conviction and adopt
ed McMahon's advice and plan. The
entire defeat of his armies he attributes
to the superior numbers, discipline and
patriotic spirit Of tho Germans, and the
want of discipline of his own, the cffi-
ciency Of whidh was impaired by loose
habits introduced by the African wars,
and by q spirit OF insnbordination en-
couraged by republican agitators OF home.

LONDON, October IA special to
the Eve,sing Telegram from London
says. A dispatch has beer received
here from Tours, dated the l4th, by the
Provisional Government via carrier
pigeon, which states that the Prussians
are in full retreat from Paris. No par

patch was also received from Paris by
another source, stating that the enthu-
siasm in Paris consequent upon this un-
expected event was indescribable.
New YORK, October IA news
paper correspondent sends from Tours
dreadful account Of the fury excited
by the crnelty Of the Prussian detach-
ments. Villages have been burned,
the Franco-Tireurs shot in cold blood,
and women outraged and murdered at

ment of Bavarians, who had perpetrated
great excesses in the neighborhood,
having been surrounded and forced to
surrender, the subatern in command

to be falling back from this side of
Orleans. They are no longer buoyant
and merry. The troops which were sent

ported. Er..

ton is armed and drilling day and
night. Large numbers Of Mobiles and
Franco Tireurs reached Lyons. There
are troops enough there, now, for an
army and they can be easily organized
to act on the offensive. All symptoms
of disorder have disappeared from the
city and throughout the south of
France.

A Romantic Story.

At the commencement of the present
century young man made his appearance
in Stratford, and spent few weeks at the
tavern, which then existed to afford shell
ter to stage-coach travellers. Whence he
came and what his business none could
guess. Directly opposite the tavern stood
the small cottage and forge Of a blacksmith
named Folsom. lie had daughter, who
was the beauty of the village, and it was
her fortune to captivate the heart of the
young stranger. lie told his love; said
he was from Scotland ; that he was travel
ing incog; out in confidence gave her his
real name, claiming that he was heir to a
large fortune. She returned his love, and
they were married a few weeks there
after the stranger told his wife that he
must visit New Orleans. He did so, and
the gossips of the town made the young
wife unhappy by disasreeablc hints and
jeers.
In few months the husband returned,
but before week had elapsed he received
a large budget of letters, and told his wife
that lie must at cnce return to England.
and must 90 alone He took his depart
ure and the gossips had another glorious
opportunity to make u confding woman
wretchcd. TO all but herself it was clear
case of desertion. The wife became a
mother and for two years lived on in si-
lence and hope At the end of that time
letter was received by the Stratford beau
ty from her husband, directing her to go at
once to New York with her child, taking
nothing with her but the clothes she wore,
and embark in a ship for her home in Eng
land
On her arrival in New York she found
a ship splcndidly furnished with every con-
venience and luxury for her comfort, aud
two servants ready to obey every wish that
she might express. The ship duly arrived
in England, and the Stratford girl became
the mistress of superb mansion, and, as
the wife of baronet, was saluted by the
aristocracy as Lady Samuel Stirling. On
the death of her husband, many years ago,
the Stratford boy succeeded to the title
and wealth of his father, and in the last
edition of the Pecruge and Baronetoge
he is spoken of as the issue of Miss Fol
some of Stratford, North America. -
When the late Professor Silliman visited
England, some years since, he had the
pleasure of meeting Lady Stirling at a
dinner party, and was delighted to answer
her many questions about her birthplace
