Berlin, August 7.-Gen Steinmetz tele-
graphs to Gen Hamenefeldt, Chief of
Staff, at Berlin, as follows: The conflict
between Saarbruck and Forbach was a
bloody one and closed only with night
fall. It was opened by the fourteenth
division, while it was reinforced success
sively by six bettalions, three batteries,
and some cavalry. Wetook by assault
the heights of Spiehren, and flung the
enemy back upon Forbaeh, at the same
time the Thirteenth division advanced
on Vocklingen. took Fossern and with
its advance guard reached Forbach to-
wards evening.
Another dispatch. dated Saarbruck to-
day noon, says: The result of the fight
exceeded our expectations. We have
occupied Forbach, where we surprised
the baggage and camp equipage of two
divisions,

.xt "Wednesday the Congressic

ON next Wednesday the Congression-
al Convention will be held at Cambridge,
and then and there will be decided the
important question which has been the
subject of ambitious dreams for so long,
among so many. The status of the can
didates is not much changed since last
week. The results of the primary meet
ings in the other counties of the District
indicate that the prospects of Bingham
are not fiattering. The first vote in the
Convention will be complimentary one
to the candidates of the respective coun-
ties: but the second vote will reveal the
fact that Mr.. Bingham will not, as is
expected by his friends, compromise the
affair by taking the lions share unto
himself. We wish that some of our ex-
changes would copy honestly, or not at
all. The Resolutions by the citizens
of Bellaire, plainly said, that in COM
mending the public acts of Mr.. Bing-
ham, they did not wish it understood
that they, in the least, favored bis nomi-
nation. We expect 10 near IaVoraoie
results from. the Convention on next
Wednesday. We believe that the dele
gates from this County will throw aside
their differences resulting from personal
preference, and will consider, not what
man is, in their own judgment, the
fittest, but who is the most available
candidate. We have never questioned
the fitness Of either of the three candi-
dates, for, we believe either would make
good Congressman, but knowing that
but one can receive the nomination, thai
one should have the solid vote of his
County. -
We shall anxiously await the result Of
the nomination and abide the issue.

The London Times gives Queen Vic
toria severe scolding because at this
important crisis she goes to the Isle oi
Wight for the benefit of her health. II
she were really what she pretends to be
I-the,soveireign of Great Britain-this
complaint might be we'll founded. But
Queen Victoria has nothing to do with
the present complications. They will
be settled without the slightest reference
to her predictions. Her only busi-
ness is to sign papers, and there is really
no good reason why she should not leave
Mr.. Gladstone supply of autograph
blanks, and go away for the benefit OF
her health as much as she pleases
We are gratified to learn that when
the French troops moved upon the
Prussian outposts at Saarbruck the
Prince Imperial (who was undoubtedly
in very safe place behaved nobly and
showed no disposition to run away. W e
are quite ready to believe that he is 10
coward; but reports of his behavior in
battle are very absurd, because it is
pretty certain he will not be allowed to
go into battle. 1t is really for his sake
that the war in undertaken, and it
won't do to put him in danger. If there
were no dynasty, there would be no OBJ
ject in fighting.

R. w. Stephenson, Superintendent oi
Norwalk Schools; J. Burns, Superin-
tendent of st. Clairsville Schools; Chas.

when we say that we will have one OF
the best Institutes ever held in the
County; and it rests with you to use
your personal influence with each
teacher urging all to come. 1t is true,
to accomplish this we must sacrifice
time, labor and money; but our reward
will be the consciousness of having per-
formed our duty to ourselves, to our
patrons and the children entrusted to
our care.
The Board of Education of this place
are making arrangements for entertain
ing the Lady Teachers free of expense,
during the week.
There will be an Examination for
Teachers expecting to teach in this

The census returns are making sad
work with the calculations of ambitious
people with reference to population. For
New York city, one million to million
and quarter was claimed. The census
when completed, will not show over
$4,000. Chicago claimed 40O,O 900. The
estimate has now been dropped to S0O,-
600, and the fact will fall short of that.
Cincinnati. was put down at 250,O00 to
100000. The figures will probably foot
up DE, 900. On the Kentucky side ofthe
river, however, from Dayton to Ludlow
there live 10000 people who are in fact
a part of the population of this city land
besides there are 10000 Cincinnatians
living along the lines of railway outside
of the city; but the population proper OF
the city is less than the estimate, and il
there is anywhere town, village or city
whose population has not been overesti-
mated, it has not been mentioned thus.

The First Victory.

The first battle has been fought and
the Prussians have driven and routed in
dismay the proud battalions of France.
The victory was conclusive and bril-
liant. The French troops did not fight
with that determination which was eX-
pected. but broke in disorder and re-
treated before the swift following foe.
Prussia gains greatly from this triumph.
Her troops will be encouraged to new
deeds of bravery and their enthusiasm
all along manifested in no mistakable
way will be increased. On the other
hand, France suffers a terrible blow
from which she cannot recover for q
while, at least, or perhaps, indeed, until
the streets of Paris are thronged with
the soldiery of the enemy. The retreat
| ing troops having been driven back to
French soil cannot again be rallied in
order for battle or inspired to do good
service on the field before the conquer
ing army of Prussia will have secured
every advantage resulting from the dis.
orderly flight. Napoleon in losing the
first battle has lost much. He must
| have made a blunder somewhere. 1t il
not improbable that when he precipi.
tated war on Prussia he hoped to con.
tend only with that government, indie
pendent of the other German States, and
had calculated to certainty that he
would find his adversary not ready fol
battle. He was sadly mistaken, and
must now fully realize the fact. His
proud army has been routed and France
must be protected instead of Prussia
against invasion. The loss on both sides
in the late battle must have been terri
BILE, but we have as yet no authentic tel
egrams to estimate the casualties. The
superiority of the generalship of the
Prussian Commanders over those of the
French was striking. By several well
executed movements the entire French
line was thrown into confusion, broker
and doubled up. and retreat was the
only possible order to be given. Flushed
with victory and keenly anxious to pres:
matters, the Prussian troops will follow
the French army until it finds strong
place to halt, and then the second, anC
perhaps final and decisive, battle will
take place. AT the present time the stu
alton looks bad for Napoleon. 1t will
require superhuman eXertions on hi:
part to retrieve what has been lost 81
early in the campaign, and unless more
fortunate than the circumstances seen
now to indicate that he will be, he may
lose Paris, lose his throne, lose every
thing. The events of this week on the
war field of Europe, will be watched
with much anxiety, and they will form
an important page of foreign history

KILLED BY THE CARs.--On Wed
nesday morning, an old German lady
named Wakemiller, was killed about
two miles West of town by the morning
Express train coming East. She had
taken her bucket and gone out early to
gather some blackberries, as has been
her custom, and was walking leisHrely
along the side of the track when the
train came along. The engineer blew
the whistle several times, but she ap-
peared to take no notice of it. and when
the engine was but short distance from
her, she slowly started across the track,
and when nearly over was struck by the
pilot, throwing her distance of about
fifteen feet in front of the engine, which
then passed over her legs, crushing them
in horrible manner. The train stopped
took her on board, and brought her to
Uhrichsville, where she died in short
time after her arrival.
The old lady is said to have been quite
deaf, and the probability is that she did
not hear the whistling of the engine in
time to get out of the way.-[ Ihscarda0.

THERE is some reason to expect that
the sneerers at Gen. Grants Quaker
Indian policy, will yet have occasion to
change their tone, or suspendit. Present
indications look very much as if that
policy was to be success. RED CLOUD,
of whose trip to Washington and its
money cost, much has been said seems
to be acting in good faith with his peo-
pie, with fair prospects of controlling
them in the interest of peace. 1t is said
that Indians are constantly coming back
to their reservations and seem inclined
to listen to advice. We have not and
never had doubt, that whenever the
government and the whites ceased to
war on the Indians, troubles would
virtually cease; but unfortunately for
themselves and for others, these chill
dren of the plain are not so far endowed
with Christian graces, but that when
'struck on the one cheek" they insist
on giving the alternate blow, and plant
ing it on the cheek of the assailant.
This is to be regretted: 1t they could
be induced quietly to submit to the ag-
gressions and frauds of the whites and
the bad faith of the Government. it
would save much trouble and expense
of life and money. But inasmuch as
years of experience has shown this to
be impracticable-at least with the In
dian in his savage state-we are glad
that the Government has determined to
make trial of removing from the In
dians provocation for war, and have
much hope of success.-[ Ec.

GREENBRIER, WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, w. VA, August ga terrible
accident occurred tonight on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, to the up train,
at Jerry's Run. The next car from the
rear coach was precipitated down an en-
bankment one hundred feet high, and
shattered to pieces. Twelve persons
were killed and twenty wounded. The
names of the killed and wounded cam
not be ascertained until morning. Major
Paxton and son, of Lexington, Va, are
mortally wounded. There were about
forty persons on the car.
The accident was caused by the hind
truck of the coach next to the last car
running off the track, after passing over
the trestle work and curve in the road at
Jerry's Run, two miles from Allegheny
station, and eighteen miles from White
Sulphur Springs. The train was run
ming only six miles an hour, and up a
very steep grade. The conductor dis
covered the car off the track and pulled
the alarm bell, and the train was taken
up in very short space, but the car that
was off the track went over the bank. 1t
is supposed the accident was the result OF
the sudden bresking of a wheel. The
killed will be transported to Richmond
in the morning, except Paxton and son,
who will be sent to Lexington. The rail
road officials did everythingin theirpow-
er for the wounded.
