There is little doubt of great preparations
position of troops has also threatening aspect,
and the Army and Navy of each power are
clearly on war footing. But as such result
would follow the slightest indication of hostile
intent on the part of either power, these
preparations do not necessarily indicate that
war is inevitable. They may tend, however, to
aggTavate a conflict for which there is not
wanting an inclination and a motive on the
part, at least, of France. Napoleon maintains
his threatening attitude and persists in his
offensive demands, and the effort of Prussia at
explanation is not accepted. Throughout the
whole affair the attitude of France has been
that of an enraged rufian bent upon insult.
To be sure, the attitude of Prussia has been
calculating and somewhat exasperating, but
she has decidedly the advantage thus far in
the quarrel.
The pretext which France has used to pro-
duce a conflict upon which Napoleon has fixed
his heart for long time past is removed by
the withdrawal, now positively announced,
of Prince Leopold. He is unwill-
ing to be the instrument of inflicting
war upon Prussia, and has declined the op-
portunity of being King of Spain. We shall
now see if France has not another excuse for
war. 1t will be strange if she does not dis
cover after all that it is the Rhine frontier
which she wants and for which she proposes
to do battle-if only her people can be brought
to support her Emperor.

AS Mr.. Senator Conkling is reported, in
journals not remarkable for their accuracy, as
having made a bitter personal attack on the
Editor of THE TRIBUNE, in secret session of
the Senate, on Monday evening last, and as
the words Courage" and "COwardice" occur
in those reports, we respectfully suggest to the
Senator that it seems due to his own position
that he should give an authentic version of
those structures to the public. We tender him
for that purpose the use of the columns of The
TRRIINF.

The Baptist clergymen who met in Boston
to protest against the impiety of not sending
Dickens to hell seem to have had delightful
time. The Rev. DR.. Mason objected to the
phrase I" final retribution" of the unbelievers
because he did not think it was true, and the
Rev. and celebrated Mr. Fulton replied that
DR.. Mason would yet find that it was true
which we consider very neat and pretty ex-
tinguisher Then Mr.. Fulton, who has been
kicking the dead lion Justify for about three
weeks, varied his performance by repeating
scandalous stories about living ladies, land
boosted that he made it his business to
preach hell ~ in Boston, which we are quite
ready to believe. Finally it occurred to the
brethren that if God wanted to damn Dickens
he could do it without their help, and that
the fate of the departed would probably not
be changed by any influence their convention
could bring to bear-even though they should
pass a resolution unanimously; so the meeting
adjourned. 1t was a lamentable affair all
through, but we regret nothing about 1t SO
much as that Dickens had not an opportunity
to describe it.

The Senate thinks of yielding in the point
in dispute between it and the House concern
ing the Indian Appropriation bill. BY all
means let it do so, if that course will secure
the passage of the bill, which is one OF the
measures Congress cannot possibly neglect
There is not Representative nor Senator III
Congress who can afford to 90 before the
people with such sins laid 10 his charge as
the reimposition of the Income Taxa VIOLA
ton of faith with the nation;- the failure
10 make the Indian Appropriations breach of
faith with the red men.

Our correspondence from South and Central
America published this morning is by far the
most encouraging we have lately had from
those regions of big earthquakes and petty
revolutions. There is peace everywhere and
numerous internal improvements projected in
Chill, Peru, Nicaragua, and Honduras indicate
that at length the people of those little repub-
lies begin to comprehend wherein the true
strength of nation lies.

The probable inaccuracy of the recent
reports about an impending resignation
of Secretary Fish will lead to hesitation in
accepting the statements now current that Mr..
Motley is soon to find a successor in the per-
son of Mr.. Frelinghuysen. This gentleman is
a most suave and courteous politician, though
certainly destitute of the national reputation
usually expected in the occupant of our high
est diplOmatic post.

The House insists on the Conference Com

the Senate forced to give way on this matter,

| observe by a handbill Of John Z. Har-
lis, which was issued this morning, that be
is endcavoring by coplipg my card in the
Fincastle Herald, published before the Con-
venton, and by giving certificate written
by Col. A. W. Hartman, as we'll as the vote
Of the Convention on the lst ballot to make
it appear that was before the Convention
and ought to abide by its decision. Ia the
first place, when I had my card published in
the Herald, nev dreamed Of other than
full and fair Convention never thought Of
Convention being SO arranged that no otter
man but the one nominated could get the
nomination.
Harris hnovs faU sgeU that the vote Of
Allegheny was cast for me mefely9to get rid
of it for the time and that sgas not at that
time nor atteracards in nomination before the
Convention DO not deny asking Col.
uarlnan to put me in nomination under
certain circumstances, not then knowing
how peculiarly and particularly the arrange
ment was made 50 as to exclude the nomi-
ton OF any one except John L. Harris. [
learned the fact soon afterwards and deter
mined to ignore Convention which was
Improperly constituted and which was nomi-
mated man who was known to be positively
Objectionable to a large majority Of the Con-
sentative Voters of the District. Under
these circumstances offered myself as a
candidate to the Conservative voters, know
ing that we had a vote of nearly $4,000
against Radical vote Of 1858 an that in
no event could a Radical be elected

Conservatives: vote for Corbin H. Rey-
nolds. Il you do not wish to send John L.
Harris to Congress as YOUR REPRESENTA-
TIVE, you can easily avoid j by coming to
the polls and voting for Corbin NJ. Roy
nolds, of Botetourt county, who, we are
assured by those "ho know him well, is a
gentleman of high order Of character, and
one to be relied upon when clouds may
most mildly lower over the destinies of a
down trodden race of gentlemen
Do not allow yourselves to be driven Or
FRIGHTENED into the support of Harris by
the cry that if you do not vote for Harris,
Douglas Gray, the Radical candidate will be
elected. Such is not the fact, as any chi!a car
see by glance at the figures. The Con-
sorvative vote of this Congressional District,
cast for Governor Walker last year was
sixteen thousand eight hundred and ninety
six Q6, 1863 The radical vote cast for
Wells being only five thousand three hun
dred and fifty three 6, 353.) when the en-
tire strength Of the Radicals was exhibited
Then we see at once that the Consefya-
tives outnumber The Radicals by more than
three to one. If then the Conservative vote
should be exactly split as between Reynolds
and Harris, each would receive s, 448 votes,
and if Gray should get the whole radical
vote. that is $3.50 votes, the majority of
either Reynolds Or Harris over Gray would
be three thousand aud ninety-6ye votes
(3,095)
It is then obvious, beyond question, that
although both Reynolds and Harris are in
the field, there is not the slightest danger
of Gray being elected.
All that The Goa seryatises have to do is,
to rally to the polls. and vote Tor their
choice.
If fealty to a nominee is regarded the
a0atch- agord of Harris and his friends in this
instance, to whom may his opponents look
for startling precedent of utter disregard
of the action Of a fully organized Conven-
ton, held in the town Of Harrisonburg in
the Spring Of 1859, in which Col. James
Fl. Skinner was triumphantly declared the
choice of that Convention +?
Answer. 70 John 7. Harris is due the
honor Of such precedent, and to John L.
Harris is due all Of the consequences result
ing from his treachery to party to which
he had Heretofore declared eternal fidelity.

voted on every ballot for John T. Herbs.
But two delegates from Warren reached
the Convention, and they on the final vote
cast the entire vote Of Warren for John I.
Harris and against Giles Cook, the most
popular citizen Of Warren county.
Two delegates from one township in
Shenandoah who participated in the Con
vention were appointed without authority
from the people, by IA gentleman who had
acted as chairman of a meeting held some
time before They were admitted, however,
into the Convention and voted for Harris.
Two Townships from this county were
not represented at all.
Clarke had but two delegates in the Con-
vention; they voted on every ballot the
wishes of their people, and against Harris,
but were powerless.
Frederick sent four delegates, three Of
whom faithfully represented that county, as
shown by the last election, but they were
unable to resist the food tide Of Harris men
who had gotten into the Convention.
This then, gentlemen, is the Convention
whose action you are asked to endorse, and
whose nominee you are asked to support in
the face Of the TACT that his name was on
the Radical Wells negro ticket only two
years ago for Congress in part of this Dis

although unknown, was less Objectionable

To the V0fers of the Sixth Com
gressfOMaE District.

FELLOW CITIZENS In coming before
you as an independent candidate for the
next Congress, it is necessary that state
some of the reasons which have influenced
me in assuming the position which have
thought proper to take; and as the short
ness of tine between this and the day of
election renders it impossible for me to
visit all the counties in so large District,
[ beg leave also to say something Of myself
through this medium.
should cheerfully have submitted to the
decision Of the Harrisonburg Convention
which nominated Judge John I. Harris, if
believed he was the choice eff q majority
of the Conservative votes of the District .
but as several Of the counties we're not rep
resented at all, and others misrepresented
in that Convention, and from what I know
Of the wishes Of the people in large por-
ton Of the District, am forced to the con-
clusion that he was not their choice, and in
properly constituted Convention would not
have received the nomination. Holding
these views, I claim the right which be-
longs to every citizen, who is freed from
political disa bilities, Of Offering myself as
candidate for your sufrages and it is tor
you to say whether Or not am entitled to
your confidence and support. With Judge
Harris I am not disposed to make either
personal OF political issue, desiring that the
people decide kindly and peacefully between
US as to whom they prefer for the Office
which We both seek. In speaking Of my
self | will simply say, that ] am farmer,
and have never been in political harness ;
that before the war l was Wing, and am
now what is termed ''Conscrvalivo W hlg,
and am opposed to Radicalism in all its
forms. I joined the army in defence Of
Southern rights in the beginning OF the
late War, and served in the field as long as
I had the physical ability to do SO and for
the remainder Of the four years, / devoted
myself, with all the force and energy l
possessed, III raising supplies for the soldiers
and their wives, achich they receaoed- |
was born and raised On Virginia soil and
yield to no man in devotion to her; and, Ii
elected, will do all in my power TO promote
her interests.
| I am more disposed to exert myself in be-
! half Of the material int rests Of Virginia,
than to NEEDLE with Federal politics, but
whenever political issues are forced upon
me, expect to cooperate with the great
Democratic party Of the North as being the
only party that is likely to favor the South
If you elect me, I give you the honest
pledge of an honest man, that I will serve
you and my State with an earnest devotion,

and to myself as the representative of oul
lovely Valley.

Since our last issue the capitulation Of
the strongly fortified City of Metz, so long
successfully defended by Marshal Bazaine
has taken place, by which 5000 prisoners
fell into the hands of the Prussians.
We can hardly realize that $4,000
armed men could surrender to any force,
but, as is stated, being in starving condi-
ton. without horses. and means of convey
ing artillery, it seemed to Marshal Bazaine
an impossible task to cut his way through
the Prussian lines and reach the French
army of the Loire and hence his surrender.
This has created an intense excitement
throughout France and every nerve is con-
sequently strained for increased preparations
to oppose the Invading hosts.
The bombardment of Paris was expected
to have commenced yesterday.
