Reported French Victory.

Tours, Oct. 12.-The Ministry has Just re-
ceved the following news of an important
French victory. The courier who brought the
intelligence was permitted to pass through the
Prussian lines.
A battle occurred on Friday, the 7th instant,
between Fort Mont Vale rien and st. Cloud, on
the west side of Paris. The French under
General Ducrot having made a sortie in force,
the Prussians were completely defeated, and
were forced to retreat to Versailles, entirely
surrendering the position they had lately occu-
pied, and from which they might have shelled
the western part of Paris.
Alleged Prussian CrueIties.
Advices from various parts of France repeat
the statement that the Prussians are committing
the greatest atrocities upon helpless towns
where the franc-tireurs gain advantages. The
Prussians have not only seized the authorities of
towns and demanded restitution for captured
Prussians on pain of death of the authorities
and the burning down of the towns, but have
also exacted that the franc-tireurs themselves
be delivered up for execution.
In view of this frightful state of affairs, the
government is reported to have again brought
the subject to the attention of the Prussian mill
tary authorities as well as the foreign ambas-
sadors to France.
General La Motterouge has been removed
from command of troops here, and General
Palandine appointed to succeed him.

Why General steInmetz was Relieved.

FROM me London Times.
General Stenmetz has been relieved of the COM
placed under Prince Frederick Charles, who at the
same time retains the supreme direction of the 2d
Army. While regretting 1t should have become
unavoidable TO supersede the old and deserving
soldieTly ardor-one cannot help listening to the
military critics who disapproVed his strategy from
the beginning OF the war. General SteinmetZ
is said to have had prediction for the
age. With every allowance for the necessity
OF rapid and decisive successes his style OF
warfare seemed TO have smacked too much
OF the more primitive tactics OF the olden
erenIhil? 1t was one OF the most courageous feats
TO be imagined and reflects the highest glory on the
men engaged in It. But soon after it had been per-
formed, at an enormous loss OF life. t1ere came the
midable position might have been gained more
easily by turning the flank OF the French and waiting
for them TO withdraw in fact, 1t seems that General
Failly was in the very act OF drawing OF when he
might as effectuay, and with considerably less
damage 10 themselves, have operated on his flank.
The controversy which, on this ana similar occa-
siODs, arose between Generals Mollke and Stenmetz
has at last resulted the latter resumng his former
post OF commander-in-chief at Posen.

Will have charge OF the planning OF the building.
Now that we have got fine site we want fine
building. We do not want cheap one, remotely
after the fashion Of the new Sixth street Court
House. But we do want real fine building, and
one that will cost money. Such an one as would
surely be an honor to the city Some Philadel-

It horse place, and asking why It is not more
progressive. Yet, when any question like the pre-.
sent comes up for consideration, these same people

where the greatest interests Of the city are con-
cerned Better to save In some other quarter where
it will not show so much 1t is to be hoped that no
such spirit will be manifested on this connection.
