New ORLEANS, Aug. Goth 1870.
THE WAR
ia of course the all absorbing topic in
every circle in our city, and with a
of mixed nationalities, the
and wishes are Of course
varied and widely different. The ex-
ultant tide of Prussian victory has
been checked, and doubt has given
place tolconfdence. The weeks bat
Ties around Metz and on the Moselle,
at first claimed as victories by the
Prussians, turn out to have been, II
not victories at least successes for the
French, who have stopped the advance
of their enemies, inficting terrible loss
on his armies at comparatively small
cost to themselves, and having gained
time to recruit and re-organize the
French are ready for aggressive move
ments. Marshalls Bazaine and McMa-
hon have an army OF 100000 regulars,
and reinforcements are continually
joining them. A great battle must
soon be fought for which Bazaine says
he is ready. With these advices the
French side of the question brightens
up and great confidence in their final
success is expressed. If the Prussiani
succeed in reaching Paris, they will he
met by an army of over 100000 men
and Bazaiue, Mcmahon and Canrobert
will press on to the Prussian rear, and
if successful the "Star Of Empire" viii
shine out once more.

business continues very dull, partly
owing to the extremely hot weather
we have been having, and partly ow-
ing to the war, which has carried oul
great staple, cotton, to such low prices
With peace, which is hoped for soon
business will take good start, and We
shall no doubt be busy. notice that
those enterprising merchants, Messrs
Glynn g. Wintz, No. 9 Camp Stree
are making preparations for a good
fall trade. Their stock of shoes, bro

ufacture are new and attractive il

those who patronize them. Order
,, sent by mail, will be promptly atten
ded to.
