THE FREEMAN's JoURNAL.-A new Re-
publican newspaper has been started by
Gen. r. Clay Crawford, Editor and Pro
prietor, bearing the above title, at Chester
town, Kent county, Md, the first number
of which made its appearance this week.
The new chompian Of Republican princi-
pies is full of fire and spirit, and will wake
up the "Chivalry," the "F. Fs" and
equality" of Kent, whom it pays its re-
spects to in the first number, in style that
will stir up the dry bones of Democracy in
that Paradise of the fossils of slavery.
We greet the new champion with hearty
welcome and earnest hopes for its future
success.
The "F. F's are thus described by the
Journal:
"The Quality "The Aristocracy, -
'sThe First Families" cold Families. %
These expressions are heard daily here in
Maryland, and the ignorant paupers whose
fathers or grandfathers owned pant of a
little niger, solace themselves with the re-
Election that they are in some way connected
with the equality" 1t is not to be sup
posed that the words equality" "First
Families" &C., mean the most virtuous,
the most intelligent or the most patriotic !;
by no means, but rather the most ignorant
and stupid, the least virtuous, the most
traitorous.
See that coarse featured, faded, red
nosed woman, neither handsome, accom-
plished, nor clean but ignorant, besotted,
and brazen, yet speak low, she is one of
the aristocracy. Her father was a slave
dealer, and she was herself the owner OF
slaves. True, her slaves are gone and her
coarseness and vulgarity is lcft-still touch
your hat, she is one of the "Quality."-
Just look at that sccdy looking "scion,'
with the plaid vest and immense necktie,
with his hat tilted over one eye, and a rat
tan cane in his hand, with brass rings on
his fingers and glass breast pin, the shape
of junc-bug, stuck in his dirty shirt, with
his mouth full of tobacco, pack of cards
in one coat tail, and a ticker of whiskey
in the other, with a brass pistol and a
bowie knife hid under his waistband. Lis
ten to his i'll bred, vulgar language. Look
at him turn up his aristocratic nose at the
mechanic and laboring man-but speak
| low, he is one of the scions of "first
family" True, he is ignorant, weak
Drained, coarse, BRUTAL loud-mouthed
braggadocia, yet an arrant coward-but his
vices must be virtues, for he is one of the
''Quality.'

The entire consistency with the record
made by the Democratic Ring controlling
Delaware, is that of it's twin brother in
Kentucky. The Commercial, of Louisville,
states that when the Democratic party
came into power in Kentucky, they found
a surplus in the treasury of over twenty
five thousand dollars. They have Leen in
power four years, and there is a deficiency
in the State Treasury of over million of
dollars, and their own Auditor says that
the government cannot be carried on with
out the taxes are increased. This is only
a new chapter in the old story. New York
city, Delaware, Maryland, and Kentucky,

trate the deceits and disappointmcnts of

War in Europe.

Heavy fighting has taken place since our
last issue, resulting in the defeat of the
French. The Philadelphia Press Of Thurs
day gives a succinct view of the situation
as can be mado up, of the movements and
results of the battles, as we can gather,
and We give its summing up as the situa-
ton of the parties, in which it will be seen
that the French cause is in almost des-
perate condition:
For the last fortnight the hopes of the
French Empire have been conferred upon
the movements of Marshal McMahon.-
On Tuesday, the 23d ult., McMahon's col
umn was in motion, marching with as
much secrecy as possible concerning its
destination. On Friday, when near Stenay,
fifty miles northwest of Metz, the enemy is
discovered in front and in strong force
Skirmishing Immediately commenced, and
fighting has taken place, it appears, every
day since. Being ignorant concerning the
numbers and posions of the Prussians,
Mcmahon avoided a general engagement.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince, turning
aside from his march on Paris, suddenly
appears, and the French Marshal realizes
that the last hope of forming a junction
with Bazaine before risking battle is
gone. He resolves to make an immediate
assault upen the enemy, who is taking adj
vantage of his perilous position and every
day closing in ON him closer and closer
His intention was anticipated; and OH
Tuesday, we are told, the Prussian line
moved forward. A battle, which must
have been desperate and bloody, ensued-
-Four army corps of German troops, King
William says in his despatch to the Queen,
were engaged, and adds: " Mcmahon was
beaten and driven beyond the Mouse, leav-
ing behind him twelve guns and thousands
of prisoners. The Meuse at this point
runs parallel with the Belgian frontier, and
at a distance of only about ten miles
Surprising he succeeded in effecting his re-
treat in good order, his chances of getting
safely back to Paris are scarcely worth
mentioning. With Bazaine securely Gagged
at Metz, end Mcmahon destroyed, the
march to Paris will certainly be an easy
one. The end of this terrible conflict is
near at hand. France is Inundated
enough without compelling the destruction
of her capital, and with the overthrow of
Napoleon Prussia will be ready to make
peace.

Attsmpted Murder at ChIeag

CHICAGO, July 11-This morning
at 10 o'clock. John J. Devlin, en-
ployed in the double capacity of
porter aud coachman by Il j. Morse,
a jeweler, doing business at 120 Lake
Street, undertook to murder that gen
tleman behind his own counter, by
shooting him with a revolver, he being
within four feet of his victim at the
time. Fortunately the revolver. which
belonged to Morse, had been loaded
for a long time, and the cartridges
had lost their strength. The ball
struck Morse directly over his heart,
but did not penetrate through his
vest. Devlin was arrested and lodged
in the A1mory. Morse had discharged
him just before he attempted the muir
der, for incompetency, which so an.
gered Devlin that he took this way to
be revenged.
