Either the strength Of the French Army Of
the Loire has been greatly exaggerated or the
material of which it is composed is or was
1--WE are uncertain If 1t still exisis)
very poor. In the battle Of Beaune-
la.Rolande 1t is reported to have been
completely defeated, and yet its total
losses are set down by King William at
not more than sixty-six hundred men in
killed, wounded and prisoners. The battle
could not have been very sanguinary affair
If the loss was no greater. De Paladines was
said to have under his command nearly quar-
ter of million of men; but If his force did not
exceed one half that number his
casualties would have been greater
had the French fought with their traditional
heroism. We are inclined to believe that his
men were badly disciplined, disheartened, and
consequently demoralized, and that they
fought badly. This belief is strengthened by
the disproportion Of losses sustained by the
Germans-set down at one thousand by
the King OF Prussia. Our latest dispatches
mention rumor that the Army Of the Loire
has surrendered; but the story is doubtless
false. De Paladines rear was unobstfucted,
and he certainly would not capitulate while he
had safe line Of retreat to Anglers and Nantes.

CRIME AND It's PENALTY.-The records of
the Court of General Sessions, which has just
closed its present term, show how vigorously
law can grapple with crime when it comes
within the jurisdiction Of the courts. The
accounts Of the closing session, which we
publish to-day, are replete with evidence that
Justice has been ably vindicated. The penalty
which properly awaits the commission Of gross
offences against the law and the peace of
society has been meted out-without straining
the quality Of mercy-by the City Judge to
notorious rufHans whose absence from the
community for some years to come, while
placed In the safe keeping Of the State Prison
officials, will not be regretted. The result Of
this term Of the General Sessions Is therefore
matter of general satisfaction to the public.
The New York herald., 1870-12-01
The War situation In Frunce.


1t is almost hoping against hope to look for
ward and expect any thing but disaster for the
French arms. Beaten at Amiens, repulsed
at Paris, driven back at Beaune- la -Rolande,
we cannot see what the armies Of France
expect to accomplish by q continuation Of tho
struggle with the Germans. From the battle
of Saarbruck to the operations at Amiens.
Paris and Beaune, within the last few
days, the progress Of the Germans has ap-
peared more like triumphal march than the
hostile Invasion Of a country whose people
were the boasted warriors Of Europe. Every
telegram which flashes across the cable from
France Is but another confirmation of French
defeats. A despatch from King William to
the Queen announces the victory OF Prince
Frederick Charles over the Army Of the
Loire. In this battle General Paiadines
was wounded. It Il but justice to
the stricken soldier to admit that he has
done well by his country since he was
appointed TO the important command which
for brief time cheered the dropping spirits of
the French nation by temporary success.
But the hope which that apparent advantage
called into existence must now fade away into
the gloom which the recent disasters cast over
the Army Of the Loire. The end approaches,
the tragedy draws to close, and the fall of
the curtain on the last sad act cannot now be
much longer delayed.
The New York herald., 1870-12-01
Queen Victoria and Eugenic.

Her Majesty the Queen Of England paid
visit to the ex-Empress of France yesterday.
1t was not mere state ceremonial compliment
of form, after the Buckingham Palace style,
but downright womanly, friendly mission of
comfort and mayhap of consolation.
The Queen remained at Chiselhurst full
three hours Now, any two women in the
world, no matter how uneducated they may
be, can talk an immense deal Of matter in
the space Of three hours, and if the CONVEX
sation which took place between the two royal
ladies yesterday could only be given to the
world 0er60tim it would form one OF the most
important dialogues which has ever been pub
lished. There was excellent progress made,
no doubt, in repairing the balance of the
world, as 1t has been affected ever since that
unfortunate escapade of Helen at Troy.
Eugene is excellently well posted on the
eastern question" This fact has been patent
to the world since the publication of the
HERALD special letters in which we reported
the opening Of the Suez Canal and the after
progress and exercises of the Empress Of
France in Egypt, with her chaplain Pere
Baner, almost exchanging the vestments of
Rome for those of the Oriental Church.
The Pers took notes in Egypt; he was the
Napoleon ''chiel amang them" the only diff
ference between himself and Robert Burns
hero being found In the fact that the reverend
Father did ma sprent EN-" Eugenie and the
priest met bis Majesty the Sultan at that
time. The Turkish ruler is particularly gal
liant gentleman. Could he refuse to give q
'little light from the Orient" to the fairest and
most dazzling of the lights of European
beauty? Scarcely. Queen Victoria may have
been anxious to talk over this whole East
ern subject with Eugene yesterday. If
she did SO Premier Gladstone and Earl
Granville had better ''read up" q
little before they meet her Maize ,ty in that next
Cabinet Council relative to the Treaty Of
Paris and the Black Sea navigation. We are
pretty certain that the Queen will be we'll
posted on all matters s'appertaining thereto, ("
and have line Of policy Of her own. Mr..
Gladstone must look out for the sGreat
Seal" and think If there are any means by
(which our sovereign lady the Queen" can
lend helping hand TO royal sister in dis
tress, and, at the same time, absolve and
atone for Waterloo in her great charity as
head Of the Church Of England We shall see.
Would the Empress undertake mission to
Constantinople7 Would she ''see" her friend
the Sultan on the subject matter Of the Old
World crisis and its causes ? Would her son,
the Prince Imperial, accompany her, and pre-
sent royal missive from England to the
Porte? It would be q grand opportunity for
the young man. His anxious mother win not
neglect it.should 1t present.

Of success.

ANEExATIoN OF SoNoRA.-A despatch from
Ban Francisco indicates that a movement is on
foot to annex the northern part of the Mexican
State Of Sonora to Arizona The sudden and
Unexplained emigration of many leading Mexi-
tan families from Sonora to Arizona gives a
polor of probability to this rumor. For many
years strong annexation party has existed in
Northern Mexico, and but for the strong stand
taken by our own government against ilibus-
ters chihuahua, Sonora and Lower California
would now be either within the boundaries Of
the United States or under the flag OF new
tepublic.
