MacMahon near Montmcdy-The Crown
Prince near Paris.

Al last VIC have from o tcleeraphic cor
respondent of THE Sun at Sclon, positive
information respecting the operations of
Marshal MhCMAnoT. lie is cndeavoring TO
form u junction with BAzAISE, who still re-
mains shut up at Metz aud for this pur.
pose he is moving his army by way of Mont
medy and Thionvillc. The Prussians, how
ever, are going out to attack him. Their in
vcstmcnt of Metz has become 30 complete
that they are able TO send from the army
tying there a sufficient force TO cope with
IMAGINATION also. Our correspondent states
that this force has moved from before Metz, by
way Of Dun and Varcnncs, and that yesterday
morning its left wing had passed Buzancy. The
outlying corps ofthc two armies were engaged
yesterday, and our correspondent expects that
m important action will at once take place
between them in the ueghborlool Of Mont.
mcdy
II is also asccrtancl beyond any further
question that the Crown Prince Of Prussia is
now pressing forward toward Paris, and that
the King Of Prussia is with lin. OF the
position Of the new army which moved into
France ly way of Mulhousc, and has since
Lcon marching toward Paris from the east.
we have no further information but II
ought by this time to be within supporting
distance of tic army Of the Crown Prince.
All our reports from Pars unite in r,preseat-
ing the feeling Of the people as ono of pro-
found anxiety and alarm. The tclggraphic
correspondent Of THE Sun there reports that
there prevails among thcm a deep and
menGcinG agitation of mind, that they are
now convinced that the Government has lied
to tbcm, and that the official statements of
successful movements ty MACMAnoN and
BAzAGSE, Of their junction, and OF great
strategic operations have al been pure false
hoods.
The enrolment Of all French citizens in
the army is now ut once 20 take place. There
is 10 lie 10 exception. Married men between
the ages Of twenty-five and thrtyiyc are to
lo mustered in, and every retired officer un
der seventy years Of age is to be called lack
TO active service. Ii there were time to or.
ganize and disci. limo these lovics to supply
them with arms ind with n competent com,
mir7arat, they would, Of course, become most
effective soldiers; but how can they now be
made available whom Prussian army two
hundred and fifty thousand strong lies
around the Notifications Of Paris, and cuts
of all intercourse between that city and the
outer world? Or Of what use will such an
army lie when the French Government,
either after revolutionary ovcrturn or with
out one, has been compelled to accept the
hard terms OF the conqucror, and to make
peace which will only consecratc the humil.
iaton of the countryH 1t is too late to raise
new armies for the salvation Of France

Fairness and Unfairness in Journalism,

On Thursday morning we published an
editorial article Of Il column on Tho City Of
Boston Libel Suit in England" This article
WAS carefully prepared for Trr SuN by a
lawyer, ut n cost Of several hours Of valuable
time Tho EtcHiHg Post, of the same even.
ing copied nearly our entire article without
credit to THE Sun There was period in
the history Of the Eccniag Pest when such
an oct would not have been tolerated in that
establishment when the rule was impeTa-
lively aud uniformly enforced that every
article-cvrry paragraph-copjed from
another journal should be duly credited.
We think that rule was more honest than
the present practice Of tie Erening Post
We do not intend any un9riendly or un.
favorable reflection on the upright and
venerable Mr.. BRYANT We always under
stood him strongly to approve the rule
which we have mentioned and we have
no doubt that if he supcrntcndcd the
paper in detail, the EoohiHg Pest would con
tinue to be hoDorably conducted.
It was of course through inadvertcnce that
the Laprored DaRy Tims repeated yestcr
day morning the fault and offence of the
perycrse EocniR9 Post.

FANNY LEwALD, n well known German
authoress, has appealed to German women against
French fashions. She thinks that the subser-
viency of Germany to the style Of women's
dress devised in Paris has had great deal to do
in frightening the arrogance of France and in
bringing on the present war. She especially er-
claims against the immodesty Of the fashions
which the French women have invented,
and German women have universally adopted.

upon the women Of her native land 70 rise against
these evils and Danish them forever. No doubt
that In many respects FASSr LEwALD's Occusa-
tons are just; but she ought to remember that
while French women have perfect taste in dress,
German women are the worst dressed in The
world unless il be the English. Indeed, IL would
be difficult to determine to which Of these two
nations the palm for awkwardncss and bad taste
in the women should be awarded. 1t is vain to
contend against the supremacy of France in all
aesthetic matters; and the longer the world lives,
The raore its inhabitants will be sure to draw
their fashions Of dress aud their model Of social
manners from the people of that favored country
