Position Of the Prnssian Army.
We copy the following speculations from
the New York Tribune: & 80
The position of the Prassian army is at
last indicated by our dispatches, and it is
apparent that the activity of the French
has been well matched by the vigilance of
their opponents. The German army, 4OO, 600
strong, has been concentrated by rapid
movements on tile Saar river, between the
fortress of Saarlouis and the Moselle river
at Treves. The position is naturally very
strong one, and directly upon the border
line. The movements from Merz and Thion-
VILE, Of which we have been previously
advised, will bring the French army directly
OF Saarlouis. 1t is therefore evident that
the first shock Of battle will be upon the
Saar river
Present advices place the French army.
so far concentrated, at $1,000, and the
Prussians at 100000. Previous advices,
however, gave the French estimate at $780,
GOO. 1t is highly improbable that the
French General would move with an in
ferior force against superior number o
in his front and another on his right, while
strong fortress protected his left flank.
The statement of the numbers in either case
are not to be depended upon and all state
ments Of the kind previous to battle are
likely to be as untrustworthy as they proved
III our own war. 1t is intimated in the dis
patches that battle must occur in day or
two. The passage of the Saar will doubtless
prove 4 difficult task, and will certainly not
be undertaken until the Prussian position
has been thoroughly reconnoitered. While,
therefore, a battle seems inevitable at this
point, it may yet be delayed for several
days by maneuvers by the French.

North Carolina.

This is from the New York Commercial
A0rertiser:
General Grant clearly intends that treason
shall not again rear its head so long as he
holds the reins Of power. At the very time
some of the papers were abusing him " for
junketing at Long Branch while Unionists
were being hunted down in North Caro-
lima he was holding Geographic communi-
cation with the Governor Of that State, and
forwarding to him the necessary troops.
The Raleigh Standard says: "We are
pleased to be able to say again that the
President-the glorious preserver Of this ma
tion-indOrses what the Governor has done,
and will practically aid in the suppression
OF this new and most dangerous treason
The Copperhead press are in a terrible
rage that the President should thus inter-
fere in the affairs Of the State, and seek to
"beat down the people with Federal
bayonets." But this was to be expected.
Whenever the President lifts his arm to en-
force the constitution and its amendments
in favor Of the constitutions defenders and
supporters, lie arouses "a yell Of dissatis
faction from those who endeavOured TO
destroy it.

The St. Louis Republican has this true
story:
Mr.. Longuemore is Frenchman, and owns
a store at No 1900 Broadway, which ne mas
rented three years at $500 per year. AS the
lease will expire in few weeks he naturally
became anxious to know it the Germans
who held the lease would be willing to rent
it for a longer period at the former rates.
The party declined paying nEd the 4 3Se P ptSer
hand Mr.. Longuemore refused to make any
reduction. At length the lessees made "a e., a
proposition to the landlord that hat II on the
nuv S! si5o less than before, or sl65O,, but if
the French were victorious they wo ren pay
.Gentlemen. the proposition is not fair; II
the Prnssians whip the French will give
You my store for $500 rental per year, s SS'
If the French win, the rent must be slouv,
as usual" The latter proposition was
agreed to, and the contract, ace o ram
was drawn up yesterday. boal part ne t, ~
appears, are equally confident as 10 the
result of this novel wager.
