A correspondent has recently written
to the st. Louis Republican communica-
ton stating that the Union army used ex-
plosive bullets at the battle of Williams
burg. As we were an officer in the army
of:the Potomac at the time, and were fa-
miliiar with officers in nearly every corps
in the army, we Lave no hesitation what
ever in asserting that no such missile was
ever used. Theparty in league with hell,
who starved prisoners TO death by thou

who resorted to the torpedoes and infer

cription, and, finally, who resorted to as.

the chivalry of the sunny south, and

north, who now moan the sad fate of the

Since our last issue The war between
France and Prussia has made rapid pro
gress A great battle has been fought
near Worth and the Prussians, under the
command of the Crown Prince, have been
victorious. The French were under the
command of General Nc Mahon aud
were badly whipped. Both armies lost
largely in killed and wounded, the
French 5000 to 1000. The 7Prussians
took 1000 prisoners aud a large quantity
Of arms Napoleon acknowledged the
defeat, retreated in person from Metz to
Chalons and sent the prince by special
train to Paris and his ma. Eugene, EN-
press regent, issued 8 proclamation, say
ing the army had not been successful and
calling on the people of France to be
united in the defence OF, France. a.ur
Both armies are concentrating at and
around Metz and another great battle is
expected daily. France, it is said, can
put millions Of men in the field, but
Prussia will probably not wait for them
TO arrive at Metz. IF the Prussians drive
the French from Metz there would seem
to be nothing to prevent their reaching
Paris. But it is impossible to tell what
day may bring forth. Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof" and we pre-
fer TO give the events of the present

ELEcTIoNs.-The State and County elections
will take place on Tuesday next Except for
securing the success of members of Congress,
there is little of vital importance involved in
the issue, but no effort should be spared on
this account, for in politics as in war, prestige
should not be undervalued. The first battle
between the contcnding armies of Europe
gave complexion and character TO each sue
cessive passage at arms, and wentfar to secure
victory in the line OF the first triumph, until
the victors, no less than the vapquished, came
to expect much the same results The gallo
spirit was aueasbed, and doubt and misgiving
takes the place of valor and the essential ele-
ments that command success. D0tch pluck
and confidence becomes inyincible. Unlike
the French, who took the field flushed with
hope and glorying in the prowcss OF the past
the Demo cracy takes the field in this cam
paign with little in the prospect to inspire
courage, and an earnest wish to obliteraie from
memory the records of the past. Their watch
word Is let the dead past be buried from sight
aud the living present engage our efforts
They present no object upon which they are
willing to plant themselves and ubde The YER
dict of the people. They euter the campaign
with no loop to hang Il grunt or growl upon
and with no other stimulant to action than the
spirit Of opposition. We have tie cause 10
work for, and we have the prestlge-we haye
met the Democrcy upon the field OF blood and
carnage, and though they made the conflict u
cruel one, they were driven to the wall and
cried for quarter and in the spirit of generosity
our hands were withheld, and not fiber OF
hemp was applied to the neck of single
mothers son of them, Now, having had time
TO catch breath, and IN some measure TO gath
cr themselves, they propose TO come for us a
