Cruel, Cruel War.

Says war correspondent AT n
town of Armentieres II perfectly trust
" ,thy eyewitness, recently returned
from Rouen, declares that he saw this
sad spectacle Men, pale with rage,
were trying in vain to extinguish the
fires that were burning down their
houses women, III despair, had thrown
themselves on the ground, trying TO
cover their screaming children with their
bodies, and budding around them the
fragments of their wrctched furniture
which they had dragged from the flames;
one old woman, 81 years old. was scream
ing to be taken out OF burning house,
and her son tore his hair as he tried i'll
vain to drag the smouldcring beams from
her aged limbs and one villager, a
tremendous athlete, was SO overcome
with anger and sorrow that he expired
from apoplcxy in the midst of his foul
widowed children. Meantime the hide
Gus projectiles continued to fall-as 10y
and by they will fall ON dear old Paris
and all the familiar haunts, to baptise IL
blood the new republic. One of the
Incidents of this avcnging lombard
mcnt had sinister consequences. Foul
men stood up together amid the ruins O
their burned and blackeucd houses ant
swore each to kill Prussian before th'
next sunset. Four lanccrs We're foun'
dead near each other on the high roa'
from Armentieros to Hericourt the mex
day. Extravagant rs this may seem,
is strictly true.

The Grain Spectators Coming TO Grief

The SPECTATORS who have been rushing
so wildly into grain, expecting to make
fortunes ont of the demand consequent
upon the war, will do well to study closely
the present condition of the grain market
Prices are invariably governed by the
supply and demand, and speculations on
any other basis, though they may tempo
rarily succeed, are certain to fail in the
end. All the granaries of the world
were full at the time of the last harvest.
There was universal crop throughout
Europe, as well as this country, and
while the war between France and Prus-
STA may increase the demand in those two
kingdoms, tn supply in the other coun-
tries will be increased i'll two-fold ratio.
Railroads, m-shlps and telegraphs
have revolutionized the whole grain
trade "A deficiency i'll any part of the
world can now be supplied within thirty
days In the Baltic, Black Sea, Prussia
and Poland, the crop of 1869 is yet to be
marketed, and the Liverpool merchants
who are always thoroughly posted on al
the grain markets of the world, are wei
aware of this. On 10Th July last, tn,
day war was declared between Prussii
and France, No. 2 Spring wheat wa
$1.37 in Chicago, and corn 93 cents
The average price of same quality wheat
for past ten days, has been 96 cents
decline of Al cents per bushel, and o
No. {. old corn, for last week, So cents
while new corn has sold at IS cents to A
cents, thus showing that the war, so far
has been of no benefit to the grain MAJ
kets of this country.

COMING BACK,

1t is gravely stated in Tennessee let
ter that Andy johnson, who will be re-
membered in connection with the Amer
lean constitution, is so much better posted
now than he was when he left Washing
ton, that he is buckling on his amor to
renew the fight against. secession. 1t is
said that the Tennesseeans have solenlnly
resolved that no man who was not a Con-
federate is worthy to hold any Office Of
honor or profit in that State, and as this
rule cuts Andy out, he is not prepared to
indorse it as measure Of Cancellation
and humane reconstruction. So that in
1872 we shall probably see Brownlow.

ness, working for the renewed preservation
Of the Union. The constitution, il is con-
sidered, will be taken care of when the
government over which it is proclaimed
is made fact in the minds of the people.

WHAT Is COMING /?

English ideas are improving beyond a
doubt. Cats are coming to look at kings
with alarming f1edom. The daughter Of
the Queen is not only afianced to a citi-
zen, but an immense mass meeting Of the
people has demanded that she should
draw her dowry from her mother, as the
other daughters of Great Britain do.
London is said to contain one hundred
and thirty-seren thousand paupers. while
Queen Victoria, without counting the rev.
enues which appertain to her from the
Crown property, is salaried at two million
five hundred thousand dollars per annum.
The people protest that she is rich enough
to set her daughter up in life, and they
demand that Parliament shall no longer
pension the royal family from treasury
that is overburdened already. This is
coming to close quarters with the divine
right, when the men that uphold the
throne inquire if the burden can not be
made less hard upon them. The divinity
that hedges the king is in danger when
mortal curiosity looks beyond the line and
detects the weakness that holds the world
in check.

40 allowed - din about S. tlfs country
on railroads, carriages, horses on afcot
without paying license to the State. The
courts have upheld this arrangement and
while Maryland loses three hundred thou
sand dollars, which the road pockets, the
tax has been Levi and the people who
paid it have not been relieved, for the
money which has been taken from them is
held by the company.
According to the law then, con-
spiracy to fleece the public may be en-
tered into and carried out, so far as the
people are concerned, and then one Of
the conspirators may avoid his liability in
the matter Of dividing the spoil by set
ting up TIE plea which belonged to the
people. Doubtless if the Times will duly
consider this little constitutional contro-
