South.
The interest of the situation at present is
withdrawn from the siege of Paris and trans
ferred to q point further south. We have
accounts this morning detailing the fights at
Bouget, on the northern side of the investing
line, and at Villejuif on the south, wherein
the French claim decided successes. But they
were, In the main, mere skirmishes, in which
no important position seems to have been
gained or lost, and, on the south side at least,
were probably inaugurated by the French in
the blind hope of preventing q concentration
of the besieging force preparatory to an assault
At st. Cloud it is stated the Prussians have
been dislodged by the guns Of Fort Mont
Valerien. Desultory fighting all round the
lines may be expected during the continuance
Of the siege, and will not, in all likelihood,
affect the result one way or the other. With
these exceptions the situation about Paris re-
mains unchanged, the Prussians claiming to
have control of all of the two departments of
the Seine ct Disc and the Seine ct Marne ex-
cept the city of Paris itself.
But in the south the movements of the
Prussians and the uprising of the French
people tend to concentrate all the immediate
interest of the situation. Orleans has been
evacuated by the French troops in view of the
approach of an overwhelming force of Prus-
SLAMS under Prince Albert. They fell back,
doubtless, toward Blois and Tours, and will
await the arrival of the immense forces now
organizing in the south before offering any
determined resistance to the superior foe. The
new armies, however, appear to organize very
slowly. A great deal Of enthusiasm prevails,
and the government at Tours has called for the
enrolment of all men under twenty-five years
of age, but the difficulty seems to be in the
scarcity of arms. To obviate this call
has also been made for all arms in the
hands of the people, but the expedient does
not seem to afford much relief In the mean
time, pending this delay, the advance of the
Prussians is so rapid that removal Of the
government from Tours is again reported i'm
mincnt. Thirty thousand of the Garde Ma
tionale were recently reviewed in Marseilles, q
few hundred Garibaldians have arrived from
Italy to tender their services, and other de.
tenders are reported in other places but these
are mere armed groups where France needs
armed multitudes.

without any just object over the fair fields OF
civilization, is not an agreeable spectacle for
mankind to contemplate. It looks too much
like barbarism-is too revolving to the enlight-
ened sentiments of tho world. Then, will not
France-will not forty millions of brave
people-be aroused to almost superhuman
courage and efforts by the merciless
conduct of the invadersp Such a peo-
pie, driven to desperation, to the last
point of endurance, and becoming familiar with
suffering, are equal to great deeds. With all
the wonderful success and military skill Of the
Prusslans they are not utterly inviucible to the
ravages OF war; They are on the soil Of
brave enemy, their losses have been enormous
already, and they might yet ind that, demoral-
lied as the French became under the empire,
the republic may infuse new life and power
into the people. The very means which the
King Of Prussia is using to crush the republic
will do more, probably, to establish it on firm
basis than anything else. 1t win inspire the
French with greater detestation Of monarchy,
and may unite all parties In support Of the
national and republican government. People
forget differences Of opinion on political ques-
tions or preferences for forms of government
in desperate struggle for national existence.
King William has made mistake in playing
the part of Attla Will he have the sense to
recede and to show more moderation? Or is
the civilized world to be shocked by moro
bloodshed and by the continued frightfhl car
mage of this most destructive Of all wars?

With all the pretence of moderation-of
making war only for protection to Germany
of marching with the civilization of the age
the King of Prussia in heart and views be-
longs to a former period. He is but military
chieftain, like Attila, tho First Napoleon, or
of the Rob Roy school Of marauders of the
Middle Ages He represents in no way the
progressive spirit and peaceful aspirations Of
our time. Nor does the military system of
Prussia accord with the age. 1t is not a militia.
The kingdom is simply vast camp. Much
as this system may have served Germany
in the present crisis it is incompat-
ible with freedom and the spirit of the
age Had Prussia been q free country, and
not under such military despotism as it is,
the war would have been closed with the bat
tie of Sedan. Instead of making war on the
French republic it would have aided the
French people in organizing and establishing
the new government. 1t would have made
friend of France aud called forth the approha-
ton of the whole world for its magnanipity.
Bu the Prussian monarch assumed the role Of
the old Holy Alliance against the republican
government and IDEAS He became the cham
pion OF monarchy, Of the divine right of kings,
of aristocracy and of military despotism.
Under cover of seeking guarantees for peace
he made war upon the republic after the first
declared object Of the war was accomplished.
While the power Of the Prussian artillery
must be admitted, the needle gun is most
effective, the Germans brave and splendi0ly
disciplined and the genius of General Moltke
grand, all these must prove powerless when
fighting against the sentiments Of the age and
opinion of mankind. Already there is great
reaction in public sentiment both outside Of
Germany and among the liberal-minded Ger
mans themselves. The Prussian horseman,
