few friends of the Institution. In the

exhibited to the little ones and gift
from it presented to each OF them.
What Joy was there! Each child
seemed full to overlooking with delight.
and gratitude. The idea of such pleas
ure was new to the little fellows-they
never before heard OF suOh Christina,
Very soon the tree was stripped of its
fruit and the children were exhibiting
their wonders to the friends who gath
cred to rejoice with them. 1t was a
happy time, and those who made 1t SO

reward in the radiant faces and happy
expressions Of those they had benefited

To the Legislature of West Va.

The undersigned, citizens Of Jefferson Coun
ty, respectfully represent to your Honorable,
Body that during the tendency Of tho late wal
their county sest was, by an Act of the Legis
lature Of West Virginia, removed from Charles
town, the place of its original location, t.
Shepherdstown, on the line of the Northern
boundary Of the county, remote from large
majority Of the people Of the county, and most
difficult Of access.
We pray your Honorable Body to re-estab.
fish the county scat at Charlestown which, at
the organization Of the county-more than
seventy years ago-was then selected as being
near its geographical centre and which has alsC
since become the centre Of the system of turn
pixies and main roads constructed for the con-
venience Of the people Of all parts Of the coun-
ty.
Us situation, moreover, on the Winchester
and Potomac Railroad, which connects with
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad-both OF
which traverse large portion Of the county
makes it point Of easy approach by rail,
whilst the public property, dedicated to the
uses of the county atits foundation, invites re-
occupation at a much less expenditure of mo-
ney than would be required at any other loca-
ton conveniently access bic TO the people.
And as a duty bound, &C., your petitioners
will ever pray, &c.

EUROPEAN WAR NEWS.

The reported junction, on Thursday week
of Trochu, with an army from Paris, with the
Army of the Loire was not effected. Late OPP
eratons, however, have caused loss of that
overweening confidence heretofore possessed by
the Germans.
Fighting occurred all day on Saturday be-
tween General Garabaldi's forces and those Of
the Prussians under General Werdsr. The
French were successful, and General Cremer
is now actively pursuing the flying Prussians.
A despatch from Tours confirms unfavora.
bic accounts from Orleans. II was evacuated
by the French on Saturday night and the
Army Of the Loire retreated to Blois. To pre-
vent a threatened bOmbardment, a retreat to
the left bank of the Loire became unavoidable.
AdviceS have been received from Paris up
to late hour on Sunday night There had
been no further attempt to force the Prussian
lines.
From The Baltimore Sun Of Tiednesday
The war news from Europe is meagre, owing
to the protracted trouble with the cables. One
dispatch from Havre on Monday night states
that all communication there with the interior
of France has been severed King William,
on Sunday night tclegraphs the Queen Of
Prussia some particulars of the successes Of the
army of the Duke of Mecklenburg, after two
days fighting, which resulted in the capture Of

state that Thursday, lst instant, was passed in
burying the dead and succorng the wounded /;
that on Friday the Germans, Saxons and Wur-
temburgers, 100000 strong, attacked with
great impetuosity the French at Champgny
and in front of Villers, but they failed to car
ry the position, after seven hours fighting, and
finally retreatod, leaving their dead. The
Prussan loss was put down at $4,000 to 90,
OOO This was followed up on Saturday by
the French recrossins the Marine and taking
positions, in which the enemy made no attempt

From the Baltimore Gazette Of Thursday.
In the late battles before Orleans it appears
that the Prussans attacked each corps d'armee
in superior force, thus repulsing the Army Of
the Loire, turning the position so as to render
the evacuation Of the city necessary. General
Paladines retreated with q force thought to be
200 900 strong, having five hundred cannon.
1t is stated that he fought TO the utmost, but
was powerleSs to effect anything. But few
prisoners were captured by the Prussisns, and
no ammunition.

cause both of revenue and Of civil service re-
form has taken upon the people Of the country
when the administration thus spreads its sails
to catch the rising breeze. The bit at Senators
and Representatives is not bad.
The President thinks that the day has pass
ed for regarding the public lands as direct
source of revenue to the government They
should be rather administered in the interests
of the whole country for the purpose of pro-
noting emigration and the settlement of new
States. The President makes another advance
step also, to the measure of the peoples march,
and discourages the policy Of granting govern
ment subsidies to railroad or corporations,
either of land or money. From the recon-
mendations in favor of erecting new buildings
for State and War Depar- ments, we infer that
the President has not taken stock IN any oil the
capiial-moving projects which have been start
ed.
After some minor suggestions, the message
closes with the following summary of the poll

without fear of molestation or prescription on

These expressions and concern about an Gun

much more consistency and force were they
accompanied with that recommendation of
general amnesty which would restore the cleo
tive franchise to the many intelligent and wor-
