METZ AND THE WAR.


Marshal Bazaine has surrendered
the fortress of Metz to Prince Freder
ick Charles, with himself and one
hundred aud fifty thousand men as
prisoners of war. This Is tie news
announced by King William to his
queen, with DO comment save that 1t
is an Important event, for which he Is
grateful to God.
The capture of Bazaine and his
troops ought to end the war. The
whole army of France which set nut
for Berlin three months ago is now
destroyed; and three fOUrths of 1t cap
tured. France has no longer any dis
ciplined force which can hope to resist
the Germans In the field. This event
releases from the lines of Investment
around Metz two hundred and fifty
thousand German troops. who can
now march to any department Of
France at their will, from Dunkirk to
the Pyrenees, or, if needed to make
the attack on Paris irresistible. may
join the beseigers there. The southern
states of the Union were not more
completely at the mercy of the armies
of Grant after the surrender Of Lee
and Johnston than France is now at
the mercy of King William.
Germany, too, has now obtained
possession, substantially, of al she has
demanded. She has Metz and Stras-
burg, the two strongest inland for
tresses in the world, built by France
as a menace to her territorial integrity.
Does any one doubt that she can hold
them2 Is there a man in France who
sObeTly believes that Germany can be
driven by force from these positions.
even by continuing the war for gen.
Grafton? Or that her unWilliDgpess
to re- tore them will be iessenel by
prOlonging a desperate struggle2
If not, then the work that remains
is not for war but for diplomacy.
There is but one hope for preserving
France, and that is her immediate
abandonment of the contest to such
terms of peace as Germany, after con
sultation with the neutral powers, may
prove willing to grant. The eession of
territory, as we have always insisted,
is wrong IN principle, and ought not to
be insisted on by the victOrs; but 1t Is
for them to name the terms they will
grant, and to take the responsibility Of
them before the world. Nothing can
be gained, either for France or for the
world, by longer struggling against the
inevitable.
It is time for the repub' leans of
France to see this, and to act upon it.
For by delay, they are holding out the
strongest possible inducement to the
Germans to acknowledge and treat
with some other power than them
selves, among the numerous claimants
to supreme authority in France.
Should they drive the King, already
in theory a bigoted legitimist, to set
up a throne in order to make peace
with it, they will have to bear the re-
proach of sacrificing the republican
cause and the future peace of their
country to an Obstinaey which is
without excuse. There is reason to
hope they will accept the fall Of Metz
is final proof that the only hope Of
France is In immediate peace at any
saerifce.-M r Post.

THE NEW KING AND QUEEN OF
SPAIN.

Amid the greater excitement of an
active war between two of the greatest
Of European powers, the selection by
the Spaniards of king attracts COM
paratively little attention. The young
man who is called to the perilous emil
nence of the Spanish throne, and who
has accepted the honor, is Prince ANA
deus Ferdinand-Maria, the second son
and third child Of King Victor Emman-
uel of Italy and of the Queen Marie
Adelaide, who was an Austrian pFin-
cess, and died in 1865.
Prince Amadeus was born in Turin
on the 30th of May, 1S45, and in 1867
er than himself, who rejoices in the
elaborate name of Victoria-Carlotta-
Henrietta-Gianna da1 Pozzo della Cis-
tema. She is the daughter of Prince
Charles etcetera Cistema and of Coun-
tess of MerOde. Both of her parents
have died dnripg the last year, and
during their lives never could have
dreamed that their daughter would sit
on the throne of the Isabellas.
Prince Amadeus takes his tile of
Duke OfAosta from a shady little town
which lies in the north of Piedmont,
under the shadow of the Alps, and at
the foot of the we'll known pass of St.
Bernard. He is a acknowledgement
in the italian army, and commands a
brigade of cavalry. By his elevation
to the throne of Spain the governing
houses of Italy and the Iberian penin-
sula will hold unusually close rela-
tions, for the Princess Maria Pia, a
younger daughter of Victor Emmanuel
is Queen of Portugal, having in 1862
married King Louis. The eldest child
of the italian King, it Will be remem-
bered, is the Princess Clotilde, wife of
Prince Napoleon. Her career seems to
be much less exalted than those of the
other members of her family
The new king of Spain, is q young
man, little over twenty-five years of
age and so far has seen but little of
public life. In Italy he is very we'll
liked. He has been brought up in the
school of constitutional monarchy,
and ought to make an honest and lib
eral ruler.

THE MILITARY RESOURCES OF
GERMANY.


The belief that tue military resour-
ces of Germany are we'll nigh exhaust
ed and that she would be unable to send
heavy reinforcements to her troops
now on the soil of France, is errone-
Gus as. the following statement viii
show. There are at the present time
at the seat of war fourteen North Ger
man army corps, seven North German
Landwehr divisions. two Bavarian
army corps, two WurtembUrg divis-
ions, and one Baden division. Now
the actual number of troops which the
North German army was able to put
into the fields, was on the 1st of July.
1859: First-Troops of the line, 1853
battalions of infantry, 3O4 squadrons
of cavalry, 1872 pieces of artillery,
thirteen and one fourth battalions of
pioneers; total 100000 men. Second
Reserve, 120 battalions of infantry.
76 squadrons of cavalry, 240 pieces Of
artillery, IL battalions of pioneers,
$4,000 men. Landwehr, 169,-
600 men. So that the strength of the
whole army on a war footing was 803,
600 men. Besides, Bavaria can fur
nish $4,000 additional troops, Wur-
temb1rg 10000 and Baden 10000
Hence it may be seen that the Ger
man Government would have but lit
tie difficulty in pouring two hundred
thousand more men into France.

GAMBETTA ANDBAzAINE.


The procIamatory Gambetta has is
sued a circular to Projects, asserting
that if Metz has been surrendered,
such an event can but be the result of
crime, the authors of which should
be outlawed. We fear that this circu-
lar is not likely to increase the conf
denee that reasonable persons feel in
the truthfulness or discretion of the
Provisional Government of France.
BazaiRe held Metz until his army was
famishing. The people of the town
were dying of hunger, and the troops
were no longer able to obtain the flesh
of horses. More than that, Bazaine has
fought six battles in the neighborhood
of Metz, centending all the while
against great odds, and in those en-
gagements more that one hundred
thousand men were killed or wound
ed. Eight weeks elasped from the proc
lamation of the Republic, before the
surrender, and no Republican army
appeared to suggest a remote hope of
relief Unable, when his forces were
the strongest, to break the lines of the
besiegers, what could Bazaine do when
his army was wasted by battles, dis
hearted by constant disasters, and
weakened by hunger? 1t was impos-
sib1e for him to postpone the hour of
eapitulation. He submitted to famine.
His defense of Metz is worthy to take
rank with that of Genoa by Massena.
The thanks that he gets appear in GAM
betta's wild circular, which is mani
testify addressed to a low order of in
teligence, and to a public opinion
formed by irrational eXcitement.-COnl-

A Glover FOOTED RACE.

A gentleman living in Missouri, who
has just returned from Mexico, has
with him boy about fourteen years of
age, that is almost as great a curiosity
as the armless man. He is well formed
IN every respect except his feet, which
consist of only two long toes, the
great and small toe. The foot is cleft
from the ankle and forms the separate
toes, each toe about six inches long.
The joints of the toes appear stiff from
walking on them. The toes and foot.
of which there is nothing but a heel,
resemble the thumb and fore6nger of
the hand, both toes of the same length,
and he can grip a piece of coin or paper
with the ends of them, something like
craWfish would. He appears very
pleasant and intelligent. The gentle
man with him says his whole family
father, mother, brothers and sisters
were all formed the same way, and
they claim to belong to a tribe in Cen
tral Mexico, whose feet were all formed
the same as theirs. The boy is fleet on
foot and delights to run races.

THE CONDITIONS OF THE SURRENDER.

An instance of the daring character
of Captain Carnaghan. Of the lost
steamer Cambria, was shown, It is said,
during the voyage of the Columbia in
December, 1868. While in mid-ocean
the propeller broke loose in the shaft
pipe, rendering the sharp and heavy
metal blades, thus loosened, liable 10 be
beaten about the stern-post of the yes
sci, and the plates Of the counter to be
stove in, or the stern-post torn away
The only hope of safety rested in lash
ing the broken screw, but the heavy sea
which was rolling rendered this aPpar-
emily impossible. Captain Carnaghan,
however, made the men lower him over
the taffrail by rope around his waist,
while he guided with his own hands the
necessary operations. The object was
to have the lashings made fast upon the
blades on both sides. The difficulty was
to get the bights of the chains over each
upper blade. Fourteen times the Cap
tain was lowered into the waves before
he succeeded. The friends of Captain
Carnaghan, in New York, showed their
appreciation of his daring on this occa-
sion by giving him; in March, 1869, a
silver wine set.

CHINA.


A letter from Pekin, September l !,
says the Chinese are straining every
nerve to prepare for the contingencies
of the coming spring. The higher au-
thorities are aveTse to war. The
heavy penanoe which they propose to
impose on themselves in the way Of
rebuilding the demolished edifces and
other indemnities, sufficiently indicate
it. but they hesitate to sacrifice a jot
of pride or principle, and are not by
any means so reluctant as might be
supposed to accept the war if it ap-
pears to be forced upon them. Their
friends have told them that they can
not meet a European army with any
chance of success, but they imagine
that they understand their own
strength better than we do; and they
feel confident that however a foreign
enemy may rayage the seaboard, they
are now able to keep him off from the
heart of the empire. The American
Minister has urged upon the Chinese
the prompt and rigorous punishment
of all who were concerned in the mas
sacre, especially urging them not to
spare the lives of the guilty officials.
He had even gone to the length of ad-
vising Chung Han not to proceed
to France until something decisive is
done IN the way of wipiDg away the
foul blot which now rests on his coun-
try. DR.. Williams, whose long resi-
dence, and frequent exercise of the
Office of Charge, gives him great inhu-
emce with the Chinese, has EN- braced
every opportunity to obtain compl
ance, but thus far asks neither money
nor land, but expiation by blood. The
satisfaction of justice in the punish
ment Of the guilty is their first de-
mand, their sine aHG l0H to an amica-
Bile adjustment. The Government is
perfectly ready. as it has already inti-
mated. to lay down an enormous
amount of money to atone for those
crimes, but it is chafy Of shedding
blood.
