A special dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
says:-'A terrible confagration is now raging
along the line of the Wilkesbarrs Mountains,
extending from this place to Clark's Green.
1t originated from some unknown cause at
White Haven, on the line of the Lehgh Val
ley and Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroads,
and its fearful progress has proved irresisti-
BILE. The entire population are out fighting
the flames, but thus far their efforts have been
futile. The loss along the route must be very
heavy. Accounts already received report the
destruction of millions of feet of lumber and
cord wood and miles of fence; nine dwelling
houses, seven barns, a large steam saw mill,
and considerable other valuable property.
Nothing short of heavy rain will extinguish
this immense fire, which threatens devastation
to everything in its course. Is.-
Rev. Frederick Fremont Lowell, pastor of the
Universalist Church in Essex, Mass, is accused
of gross RIGHTEOUSNESS, and is reported to have
left his parish and the town, under threats of
coat of tar and feathers.
The King of the Belgians has committed
sou" le Moustier into hard labor for life. This
criminal had murdered three cattle dealers
brothers, and buried them in his courtyard,
and had poisoned his own wife. No doubt
whatever existed as TO his guilt. and the only
motive for the present act Of mercy is to be
found in the repugnance of Leopold II to sign
death warrant.
According to LIE Gualois, the great steam
navigation companies are not too well satisfied
with the results of their use of the Suez canal.
The IDperatrice, belonging TO the Messageres
Imperales, sustained damage during her pas
sage. Three blades of her screw were broken.
The Smyrne, belonging to the same company,
met with a like casualty. The Europe lost
two blades of her screw, the Hooghly also two
blades, and the Antique three blades. The
Corpie t?) and the Nubia, English steamers,
were compelled to returned to Suez for repairs.
An English steamer had her screw completely
broken. These accidents all occurred within
six weeks.

0ur western G onueet,eu..

We referred few days ago to the progress
which is made on the railroad from Bradford
to CIaremont, being on the line of road be-
tween Portland and Rutland, via Rochester.
N. II. The following particulars will be in
teresting to the friends of the great Western
connection:
The railroad from Bradford to Claremont
which has Just been put under contract, was
chartered as the Sugar River Railroad, and is
not the Concord & ClaTemOnt road, but is
designed, to connect the latter road with the
Sullivan road at Claremont. The road is di-
vided into % sections, OF different lengths,
and is few rods short of 80 miles in length.
Bonnallie, Reed, Parker & Co., have the road
between Bradford and Newport, except three
sections. Floyd q Moore have the Summit
| Cut, which is included in sections and TO-
w. W. Holmes has one section or more, con-
tingently between Bradford aud Newport.
Patrick Manly & Son have the three western
sections at the ClaIemont end. Wilkins q
Perry have some of the sections Immediately
beyond Newport towards Claremont.
All OF these contractors will commence
work on their several sections at once, so that
al parts Of the road will progress together.
Now that it is settled that the Sugar River
road is to be built, we understand that ex-
Governor Page, of Vermont, is making an
earnest effort to secure speedy connection Of
the Rutland road with it, and survey has
been made Of the proposed link, which when
built, will open a new connection from TINS
city with the New York Central, and the On
tario road now building. Passengers Iol
| Saratoga will take the Claremont cars, may
/ be a familiar sound from conductors in 1911

General News.

The Standard says, ironically, that Tilton
and Hastings have chosen seconds for duel.
The Mcfarland trial was enlivened by
sort of literary analysis of a magazine article
in order to see how much of it was sense and
how much nonsense, and whether Mcfarland
oreFitz Hugh Ludlow was responsible for the
former. The counsel for the prisoner sought
prove that the article as originally written by
their client was incoherent and the work of
an insane man. At the same time in another
court charge of insanity was based upon the
fact that the person in question had written a
book
Mr.. Monsell, the Under Colonial Secretary,
explained that compromise on the Red River
difficulty had been affected by the introduction
into the Dominion Parliament of a bill Great
ing the Province of Manitoba. He stated that
Canada would retain all the public lands of
the new province, with the exception of 1900
acres to secure its debt.
The present is emphaticaly an Ella of bank
robberies. Scarcely week has elapsed for
year past without bringing us an account of
the robbery or attempted robbery of some
moneyed corporation. New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago, together
with Rockland and many other minor cities
and villages have suffered at the hands of
these bold maranders. Balston Spa is he last
place to suffer. On Wednesday night robbers
forced the doors of the National Bank there,
blew open its large safe, and were preparing to
make off with the contents, when they were
disturbed by outside noises. One of the officers
residing close by was fortunately awakened by
the explosion, or we should have had to chron-
icle the disappearance Of another hundred
thousand dollars, more or less, of specie, gov
ernments, and other securities.

sixteen, the whole course of her life
would have taken another turn. The
whole world then would have united
in letting her know that she must
live to some useful purpose, or be
nobody and nothing. Schoolmasters
would have scolded her if she idled
over her lessons; and her breaking
down in arithmetic, and mistakes in
history, would no longer have been
regarded as interesting. Clergy
men, consulted on her spiritual state
would have told her freely that she
was miserable sinner, who, except
she rcpented, must likewise perish.
In short all those bitter and whole
some truths, which strengthen and
invigorate the virtues of plain peo-
pie, might possibly have led her a
long way on toward saintship.
As it was, little Lille was con-
fessedly no saint; and yet, if much
of sinner, society has as much to
answer for as she, She was the
daughter and flower of the Christ
ian civilization of the nineteenth
century, and the kind of woman
that, on the whole, men of quite dis
tinguished sense have been fond of
choosing for wives, and will go on
seeking to the end Of the chapter

French Reasons.

The special correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette, who is with
the French army, says the reasons
for the series of Prussian victories
are set down by public opinion as
follows:
l. Prussian superiority of num-
bers-of which, l think, there can
be no doubt; but while this point is
clear, another point is equally so
why this superiority in numbers:
This brings us to the second reason
2, Surprised, which means out
witted or outgeneraled.
3. Their spy system is incalcula-
bly, superior. The country is in
tested with their spies.
4. Their troops fire with more
steadiness and precision. The
Germans take aim; the French bang
away without dclibcration or care.
So whichever may be the best arm,
the chassepot or needle gun, those
who handle the latter are superior
in skill to those who use the former
5. They have the most accom-
plished strategist in the world
(Moltke), and we have no one to
compare with him. And it is yet
to be demonstrated whether we
have a field general equal to the
Crown Prince.
6. Their tactics are Napoleonic-
overwhelming the weak place and
destroying the enemy by piecemeal.
Ours is that of waiting for pitched
battles with equal numbers, and
trusting to dash fighting and field
combinations.
7. They know us, and we have
been too vain to condescend to find
out anything about them. Our self:
confidence loftily refuses to in
vestigate their condition, political
or military; they have been con
versant with our situation for foul
years. Bismark has bamboozled
our diplomatists, and Moltke knows
more about our geography than We
know ourselves.
s. They were ready, as we now
find out to our surprise and grief,
and we are not ready, as We dis
covered to our amaZcmcnt and con
sternation.
8. And we are equally astonished
to see South Germany taking sides
with Prussia, and 50 giving them
the preponderance of numbers i'll
effective troops.
These are the explanations of
their reverscs, which the French
have dropped and l have picked
uD.

The Battle Field of Haguenau.

For six or seven miles our route
lay along the highroad to Stras-
bourg, via. Hagucnau. The latter
place is empty Of troops, and the
cavalry, which has already reached
Saverne, reports the country clear
in that direction. The landscape is
most pIcasing-rich fields, the road
lined with noble trees, and rolling
land clothed with forest patches and
hops of extraordinary height. Then
we turned down by-road-a com
munal highway-and, after time,
reached the village of Gunstett, the
environs of which were the scene of
desperate action between the
French right and the Prussian left
during the memorable battle Of
Woerth.
Like several others of the villages,
it was crowded with wounded, and
pale faces looked out of the windows
of the cottages, with heads bound
up; but there soon more terrible
evidences of the struggle. The de
bris of knapsacks, pouches, muskets,
shoes, fragments ofclothing, shokos,
thickened as we went on; dead
horses, swollen to an enormous size,
with their legs stuck up in the air,
lay about in the field; and now we
came upon a dead Prussian, who
had fallen stiff, as in the act of
charging, and then came Zouaves
and Turcos, mostly the latter, in all
the fantastic rightly Of death in
battle, the faces in most eases cover
ed by the decent care of the com-
try people with little pieces of linen,
which the rain had beaten i'll on lhe
lineamentS in relief.

an angle of the road, by vine plan
tation, there had been evidently Il
sanguinary combat between the in
fantry; but little beyond these lay
the scene of cavalry charge, the
relies of which formed the strange
spectacle l am writing of.
There were heaps Of cuirasscs
still bright, and brass helmets with
plumes, which had been taken from
the dead, wounded and prisoners,
and piled at intervals along the
road. Between these lay saddles,
swords stuck in the ground, horse
trappings, valises with IS" and "6''
on them, here and there single CUR
asses, dead horses, helmets, swords,
muskets-the ground trrmpled, the
vines beaten down-pools OF blooo
"a foul, sour smell everywhere; this
literally for two miles on each side
of the road.

ea@ INDEPENDENCE IOWA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 49, 1870

one whole day and night not a
member Of my family stuck his head
out of the window but he got the
hair snatched off it as smooth as a
billiard-ball, and if the reader will
believe me not one of us ever
dreamt of stirring abroad. But at
last the awful siege came to an end
because there was absolutely no
more electricity left in the clouds
above us within graphing distance
of my Unsuitable rods. Then l
sailed forth, and gathered daring
workmen together, and not a bite or
a nap did we take till the premises
were utterly stripped Of all their
terrific armament except just three
rods on the house, one on the kitchen,
and one on the barn-and behold
these remain there even unto this
day. And then, and not till then,
the people ventured to use our
street again. | will remark here,
in passing, that during that fearful
time l did not continue my essay
