TIE EUROPEAN WAR NEws.-That notl
THURSDAY, AUGUST Is, 1870

The EUROPEAN WAR NEws.-That moth
ing definite is known, to ''outsiders" of what
is going on at the seat of war, is sufficiently
evidenced from the character of the dispatches
received and published on this side of tho At
lantic. The correspondent" are at fault, land
having been denied those facilities and courte.
sizes usually extended to the PRESS" are COM
PEELED 10 resort to all the tricks of The trade
to supply the omission, aud thus it is that in
stead Of "faots and figures the dispatches are
papers-their opinions and speculations, and
idle criticisms of "war correspondents" whose
occupation, for the time, being gone, vent
their spleen in denunoiation or in tabrlcating
sensational! reports, with which to e!ccrlfy
the world" Gen. Bszaine insists upon secrecy
regarding the movements of his army, telc-
graphic communication in the rear Of the Prus
sian army is said to be cut off, and so it is that
lack ofauthentic information throws doubt upon
all recently reported operations. An official dis
patch from Metz has been made public at
Paris which states that serious engagement
took place on Tuesday at Graveotte, six miles
southwest of Metz and two miles west of the
Moselle; that the French gained the advant
age, but lost heavily. At last accounts Metz
was held by the French. Strasbourg holds out,
aud Nancy and Toul also remained in posses.
sion of the French. OF "rumors" there is an
endless variety, but there is nothing else tan.
gible.
BANKING CAPITAL.-In reply to q circular
communication from the Comptroller CT the
u. S. Treasury, asking for information thai
will enable him to make fair distribution o
the amount Of circulation that will be arpor
toned to Virginia, under the recent act O.
Congress, MIR. Lewis Mckenzie wrote letter
ofwhich the tolloWlngis copy:
ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 2s, 1870
SIR In reply to your circular-letter of July
IS. 1870, it is diff cult to say how much banking
capital and circulation is now needed in thi:
Congressional district.
Before the war this city alone had one mil
lion nearly. Now she has but one hundred
thousand of capital. I should think six hun.
dred Thousand dollars ought to be now required
as follows:
Locality. Populations. CupituI
=. Fredericksburg, $500 to 5000 10000 O.
3. Leesburg, 1900 to 2C00 $4,000 &C
4. Warrenton, 1900 to 250J 10000 &c
s. Culpepsr, 1900 to $500 5000 0C
l have named this amount of six hundred
thousand dollars but doubt If so much will
be called for within the next twelve months, as
our capital has been so much reduced by the
results of the war.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant
