Virginia has ever been subject to periodical
storms and floods as sudden and destructive
as those of more tropical regions; but seldom
has she been visited by a storm so ter
rible in its character and effects as
that which desolated her fields during
the last week, and of which there is
yet no cessation. Beginning in the extreme
southern part of the State, the storm travelled
nOrthward seeming to increase in intensity
until the Maryland border was reached, when
its further progress was marked by no more
than the usual severity of equinOctial
storms From Richmond westward to Staun-
ton and Lynchburg, on the route of the James
River, the greatest amount of mischief has been
done. Richmond itself is inundated, and the
business districts flooded and impossible. The
bridges crossing to Manchester have been de-
strOyed, and human life placed in constant
jeopardy from the falling buildings and float
ing debris. At Lynchburg railroad cOmmuni-
cation is broken off, the bridges and the
embankments being thoroughly swept away.
Human life has also suffered, whole family
having perished, and the shocking report
comes that at Harper's Ferry fOrty-sevcn per-
sons have been killed The swelling of the
Virginia streams rushing into the Potomac has
increased the volume of its water alarmingly,
and Washington, already suffering, is threat
ened with an inundation as complete and de-
struCtive as that at Richmond. The crops of
the Summer, carefully garnered throughout the
Virginia valley, have been utterly destroyed
in this havoc of storm and food 1t is dread
full to contemplate the suffering that must
ensue in this region, not yet fully recovered
from the deSolatOns of war

newly reported in this mornings issue are Of
significance. One repOrt-they are all from
French sOurces-rcpresents the Germans at
Pithiviers; another says they are at Mainte-
non; a third near ROuen, where O skirmish
had been fought and still another says they
have occupied Beauvais. These points are
distant from forty to seventy-ive miles in four
different directions from Paris. Beauvais is
about seventy miles to the north, on the rail-
way to Bouogne; Rouen is sixty miles north
west, on the railways to Dieppe and Havre;
Mantenon is forty miles southwest, on the
railroad to Rennes and the western sea
ports while Pithiviers is forty-fve miles
south within easy march of either the
road TO Orleans or that to Lyons.
IL is evident from these demonstrations that
the German cavalry are thoroughly destroying
from the capital at which they converge, and
which they have hitherto fed. At the same
time these and supporting columns of cavalry,
moving by the roads between the rail-
ways, destroy whatever may aid the French,
and transport to the camps before Paris all
that is of value to themselves. In few places
are they resisted; the terror which they create
is little calculated to inspire the people with a
wish to take up arms; and principal effect of
their raids must be the frequent interruption
of attempts to organize camps and arm the

The Russian Government is at much pains to
announce that it intends to maintain its neu-
trility between Prussia and France, and adds
significantly enough that ga Turkish war
would have no connection with the present
Conflict" The papers clamor for the abroga-
tion of the Paris treaty which protects Turkey
and Russia is clearly as eager for the invasion
of that country as the French were three
months ago to overrlln Germany. In spite OF
England-indeed, in contempt of her-Russia's
determination TO renew the old issues with
Turkey seems fixed.

mended every man occasionally to purge him
self of all acquired knowledges and begin at
the rudments again. Some of our English
scientific neighbors seem disposed to put his
maxim to the test, and have begun apparently
by reducing themselves to the proper condition
of idiocy. One would think that Europe
might furnish them just now with sufficient
subjects for interest or speculation but, on the
contrary, they have turned their backs on it,

B4RBARITIES or VAR.

English and French papers have published
horrible stories recently of the suieIings OF
the peaSantry in Alsace and Lorraine, and the
brutal exceSses of German soldiers in their
treatment both of prisoners of war and inOf
fensIve inhabitants. We fear there is some
truth in these stories, for war is a dreadful
business which bunts the finer sensibilities,
and not only leaves its track of blood and
desolation, but develops all the latent cruelty
and animal passion of the human heart The
dreadful affair of Bazeilles has been told by
many independent witnesses, the latest of
whom, the Due de Fitz-James, writes to The
London Times as follows:
On the morning OF the 3lst OF August the courageous
inhabitants OF that village perceiying that the enemy
was coming on dOnned their National Guards uniforms
and aided the army in holding check Bayarian corps
and division ShGlers OF the Fourth Prussian Reserve
Corps. The French army was driven back. The enemy
entered Bazeiles and then commenced scene OF horror
and nameess that must forever disgrace their
perpetrators. In order 10 punish the inhabitants OF the
village for presumng TO defend themselves they set the
place on fire. Most OF the National Guards had been
killed The population sought refuge in the cellars.
All-women and chdren-were burned alive! Out Of
100 barely survive to relate how the Ba
varans drove the and children back into the
flames and shot those who succeeded In escaping lmy
self saw the ruins OF the village There is not house
left standing fearful smell OF charred flesh pervades
the air and the cacined bodies Of the inhabitants
on the thresholds of their own dwellings"
The Due de Fitz-James is a Frenchman
but English accounts cOrrOb0rate his state
ments in the main, although there is dis
crepancy in the French and German explana-
ton of the reason why the village was fired,
and we are left good ground to hope that 1t
was "A sad military necessity, not an act OF
wantOn cruelty. When the Pr,lssians first
entered France it seems to be admitted that
they behaved remarkably well now we have
complaints of their terrible exactions and
devastatons, and reports of a feeling of
mutual evaporation which often breaks out i'll
wild excesses and murders. French prisoners,
it is said, are brought into German hospitals
disabled by blows from the muskets of their
guards and all France and all the sympathizers
with her cause call upon us to execrate the
barbarous nation which so disgraces the pro-
fession of arms.
Very few of the offenses we have cited have
been proved; but if they are all brought home
TO King Williams armies it will not follow
that the Germans are more brutal than other
CIVILIZED people, or make war with any more
supernuous outrage than the French. or tho

ave will have no controversy says The
World, "with any Republican journal respect
"ing municipal affairs previous to the new
"charter. With the displacement of the old
Organization that subject passed out of poll
cites into history. . . The old municipal
Organization is dead, and we have no con-
"cern with it,"
We are not surprised that Democratic
newspaper, especially one which has borne the
most unmistakable testimony to the frauds of
the Tammany oligarchy, should prefer 10 enter
upon the present campaign without the en-
barrassing recollection of the history OF the
party in this city; but to this airy way OF
wipng out old scores, and starting afresh with
a clean slate the people certainly will not con
sent. The former organization may have
passed into history, but it will not pass out OF
politics while the same men who made it the cor
rupt system which it was are still the leaders of
the Democratic party, and pursue under the new
charter the same course which they pursued
under the old. Is Mr.. William NJ. Tweed, with
vastly enlarged powers and more compact
municipal organization at his command, any
less the enemy of public and private honesty
and political rights than he was before For
mcrly there were at least certain departments
of the city government which Tammany could
not use. The Police, the Park Commission.
the CrotOn Water Board, and so on, were hon
estly and efficiently managed by Albany ap-
pOintees Mr. Tweed's share of the municipal
system was notorious for incficiency and
fraud. Under the new order the control of
everything has been given over 70 the men
who abused their trust when they had control
of part. TO refuse to go back and discuss
their management of that part IL prudent III
The World but Republican journals have no
idea of accepting such proposal.
The new charter might be in theory an lm-
provement upon the old if there were any
means by which the great party of rogues who
made it could be turned out of place, and q
fair vote of the people be taken for new set
of officers. With honest men at the heads OF
departments the administration might at any
rate be more efficient than it used TO be. But
Mr.. Tweed, "a nobody knows better than The
World, is burden not 20 be easily shaken of.
He is a dreadful load TO carry through the
State canvass, but his party cannot get rid OF
him, and they will beg US in vain to shut our
eyes and make believe we don't see him. Now
that his power for mischief is so much en-
larged the history of his past miSdeedS becomes
more important than ever. We shall next
have The World protesting against an inquiry
into the record of Mr.. Tweed's associate,
James Fisk, jr., or his agent, MIR. John T..
Hoffman. When Fraud and Debauchery be-
come partners in the prOprletOrship OF Gov
ernor, and obtain charter giving them un-
limited scope for operations their character
and history cannot be too minutely in
yeStigated.
