One Of tho Paris journals on Saturday
evening had remarkable editorial, of which
the following is an extract: "Next to the
news of the near approach of the Prussians
60 the walls Of Paris. that which most occu-
pies the public altogether is the possibility of
an open rupture between the Government
aud Gen. Ttocfu. It is reported that the
Empress has demanded the dismissal of Gen.
Trochu from his position as Governor Of
Paris, but we can affirm nothing positive. 1t
is nevertheless true that person has been
permitted to express carelcssly the opinion
chat Troohu, in the presence OF the Empress,
had been asked to retire."
A late copy Of the Journal of Nancy says
srThat which wounds US moro than all else
is the condition of our unfortunate farmers,
dWelers in our country. Our tears flow at
che sight Of long liues Of wagons laden with
oats, hay, and provisions Of every kind, to be
given over to the Prussian army. The fine
horses which were to prepare the earth for
che seed Of the future harvest have been har-
nessed to the Prussian cannon. Since every
thing is scattered and destroyed on tho day
after the harvest it equally follows that re-
markable barrenness of the country must en-.
sue. The difficulties Of ON entire year are
crowded into one moment The ruin is COM
plete and uuspeakahle. Long years will be
\ necessary to repair the damages Of these few
days Of invasion"
