OFFICIAL CITY g. COUNTY PAPER
THE EUROPEAN WAR.

The kilograms of the 18th inst, though
somewhat contradictory, are interesting and
give general view of the state of affairs uE
to last midnight. There was hard battle
fought about Metz on Sunday. Il is sup
posed that the French, while attempting 10
leave the town, we're followed by the frus,
slams, whose characteristic It is to pash
hard upon the enemy at every success or
hope of victory. As usual, both parties
claim the victory. Napoleon writes the
Empress that while the army was crossing
TO the left of the Moselle the enemy attacked
them with great force, but was repulsed
after fl ght of four hours. Surely, if words
we're deeds, the Emperor would have by this
everything in Europe depending upon his
ipse dtrH
The whereabouts of Mcmahon are not
known fors certainty some reports say that
he is at Toulon, others say at Nancy, while
some affirm that he has been killed. King
William writes the Queen that his troops
have won a glorious victory near Metz and
that he must hasten to the scene CT victory.
A special to the n. Y. Tribune doubts the
retreat of the French from Metz upon
Chalons to avoid a battle. 1t claims that
what has been sent from the former place is
baggage, not troops, and that everything
available is bsing forwarded to ,he front.
Bismarck says be is much obliged to the
French for giving them time to get their
whole army on the Rhine, and to the from
ter Il is possible that had Napoleon, at
the start, acted with that boldness and
dispatch which so much characterized the
military movsments of his uncle he might
he perfectly understands the periious si.ua-
ton he occupies, uone can more fully realize
thsu himself; the danger of losing his
crown drives the Emperor and his sdherents
to distraction. And should they, after such q
disastrous campaign, meet with an humiliat-
ing defeat, and turn upon Paris, he surely
will be travelling q more dangerous path
than did Napoleon the First when he left his
troops IN dlsmay al the DattIe OK Na.efioo-
Whatever may be the sequel to this
deperate encounter cf great powers, the
world will not fail to look upon it as great
sacrifice of lite and treasure in a conflict which
might have been avertad had each party
dropped the issues of the past and looked
more to the interests of humanity than to
individual renowu and national apgrandize-
ment.

DIERs.-The bill lately pr sented In the
House OF Representatives by Mr.. scoAeld, Of
Pennsylvania, is in many respects the most
important measure yet offered looking to
the future welfare OF the discharged soldier,
as the benefits to be derived are solid and
permanent, accruing only to himself, and
ultimately advancing our national pros
perlty In settling up the vast area Of the
public lands yet remaining In the Western
States. The first section Of the bill releases
applicants from making and flllng their APP
plleations personally at district land offices,
thereby saving vast expense to the soldier,
as Is now required uEder the homestead act.
The second section exempts him from per
forming a settlement, II he so desires, for
the space Of two years, this time to be de-
Quoted out of the 1--WE years. settlement, as
required by the homestead act. This is 4
most important provision in the bill, as he
is thereby granted 4 time to make prepare
lions, to make Improvement, to make a set
tlomenti thus rendering the measure ayaila-
bic to very large class Of our discharged
soldiers.
