New YORK, October 29.-The Times
contains the following, dated London,
October %:
"Mr Oaksmith, to-day, SIGNED an
affidavit befoae the United States Con
sui here testifying that all the statement
in the Herald letter of October 18th,
purporting to have been written by Ex-
Marshrl Murray to Mayor Hall, re-
oarding General Woodiord and Mr..
Carpen, are absolutely and unquestion-
ably false, and utterly without founda-
ton. The defendant further asks mayor
Hall to demand of Murray disavowal
or retraction Of the letter. or else to
publicly swear to it.
I. LONDON, October 29.-Yesterday the
Prussians made an attempt to cut the
line of communication between AmieDs
and Rouen. They were beaten off with
out accomplishing their object.
There was a slight skirmish at Nor
merle yesterday, in which the French
were successful. Some houses were
burned from the artillery fire, The
Prussians were at last driven from the
field with the loss of one gun.
The Times has a telegram describing
the scenes around Metz at the time OF
the surrender. A .frightful storm
had ragged for several days all
over the north of France. The entire
country was under water and everything
was literally drowned out The tele-
graph lines were prcstrated in all dl-
rections. 1t is said that the interior OF
Paris shows less change than might be
expected. Here and there few large
jewelers. and diapers shops are closed;
beyond this nothing extraordinary is
noticeable. - i..EaE
The French press is trying to per-
suade the people that there is extreme
suffering in Prussia on account Of the
war. = ''s
Late advices from Algeria report that
the rebellion has been suppressed and
all is quiet. N EEm.

Twelve OF the officers and crew ot
the steamer Alexandre Petion, formerly
belonging to the Haytian Government,
and which foundered about 800 miles oil
the coast OF Nassau on the 18th Of Sep,
tember, have arrived in New York city,
they having been rescued on the 10th oi
the same month while adrift in boats
by a New York schooner bound to
Texas.
The President on Saturday assigned
Columbus Delano Secretary Of the In
terror from lst of November. He also
appointed Benjamin F. Farnam, OF
Massachusetts, consul to Bombay Will

DR.. Stephen X. Summers was arrested
in st. Louis, Friday, charged with the
murder of John Dykes, at Lagrange
Mo, in January, 1869, and was taken
to that point, Saturday evening, in the
custody of the Sheriff of Lewis county
Summers is very respectfully connected.
He is said to have committed the deed
while intoxicated.
Augustus Indemcous, the New York
gunsmith, who anticipatingly arranged
a trap gun, whereby the supposed burg
lar, George Twcdle, was shot and kill.
ed a few nights ago, has been held to
bail to await the action OF the grand
jury, the coroner's jury, which held an
inquest, on Friday, on the body Of the
dead man having c9nsured him.
The steamer Relief, belonging to the
Coast Wrecking Company, left New

the full losses of the various companies

Senator Wilson says it is not true
that he has recommended anybody for
the English Mission, and has no recon-
mendation to make, and that he did
not 90 to Washington to consult the
President at his request, in regard, either
to the Cabinet or the Mission. The re-
port that the English Mission has been
offered to half dozen gentlemen since
it was decided 10 remove Mr.. Motley,
is erroneous. Frelinghuysen was first
appointed and when he declined Scna-
tor Motley was offered the position. Up
to this time no other selection has been
made.
On Friday evening Detective Elder
arrived in New York with Joseph A.
Hyatt alias James Fields, whom he had

at a bank in Philadelphia a check for
$4,000, purporting to be drawn on the
Tenth National Bank of New York
CITY 10y Messrs. Glendirg, Davis Il Co.,
Of No. II Wall street, New York, made
payable to the order Of James Fields.
The signatures were genuine, but the
amount of the check had been altered
from $4,000 to $4,000 The prisoner
was locked up in the Police lieadquar-

In the Third District, Hereford, the

The Democratic majority in the State
secures a complete revolution in politi-

PruSsian Memorial in Regard to ihr
Present War.


WASHIyGTOS, October 29-The fol
lowing memorial in regard to the fatal
consequences to which the population
of Paris are exposed by prolonged re-
sistance, has been seut by Count Bis
marck to the Ambassador Of North
Germany:
The conditions Of an armistice offered
to NJ. Jules Fayre, intended as the basis
for the establishment of order in
France, have been rejected by him and
his colleagues. They thereby decree
the continuance Of a struggle which,
according to the course Of late events,
appears without any chance Of success
for the French people. Since then the
prospects of France in this war so full
of sacrifices, have still,further declined.
Toni and Strasbourg have fallen. Pa
ris is closely surrounded, and the Ger
man troops are advancing by the Loire.
The large forces heretofore engaged on
the above fortresses are now at the free
disposal OF the German commanders.
The country has to bear the consequen'
ces of a war decreed 10y the French au'
,horities in Paris. Its sacrifices will be
necessarily increased, and her social
condition suffering more and more
dangerous decomposition. The
4 German arms do not find It
self in a situation to continue
this, but it perceive7 clearly the conse
quences OF the resistance chosen by th'
bowers in France, and feels compelled
to call general attention to one point
namely, the special condition Of Paris
/ The heaviest attacks heretofore maf'
from this capital on the 18th an
Goth Of last month, in which the elIt
Of the armies collected in that city hav
not been able to THROW back the tirs
/ line of the besieging forces, lead to tn
Conviction that the capital Will tai
sooner or later. If the time 0
surrender is postponed by the pre-
visional government for the nauona
/ defense until the threatening want
provisions necessitates 4 capitulatior
the most terrible results must follow
The unwise destruction OF railway
bridges and canals, within a certai
distance around Paris, by the French
. has not been able to stop for one M

not be established officially. Its said
Metz has capitulated If so, it is well
that you have the opinion of the Gov
ernment on the matter. Such an even
could but be the result Of crime, The
authors should be outlawed. Be. COZ
vinced, that whatever may arise, take
courage. In this epoch Of rascally ca
pitulations, there exists one thing which
neither can nor will capitulate-th'
French Republic.
Tours, October 29.-Profound i'm
preston of sorrow has been produce,

move, and express intense Indignation

largely increased, was ready to attacl
the Prussian forces. Much was effect
ed from it towards the deliverance c
Paris. The surrender OF Metz check
its efforts.
The Constitutionalc makes a stron
appeal to Gambetta to consent to an a,
mistice, and order an immediate ele'
ton for constitutional assembly.
Several dispatches have been receive
announcing French success in dIffe-ef
parts of the country.
