The War In France.

The French have gained victory.
They have driven the Germans out of
Orleans. General Won Der Tam is the
name Of the defeated German, and Gen.
eral D'Aurelles de Paladines is the name
of the victorious Frenchman. The en-
gagement commenced on Wednesday, the
9th inst, and continued until Thursday
evening. the 10th. A special despatch
to the New York Forld, under date of
the 18th. says. ..;..
General Won Der Tam, with the rem
nant Of his army, is now retreating on
the road leading from Orleans to Pithi-
viers, after vainly trying to force his way
through Chateau Neuf and Montaigne,
where he hopes to join the army of
Prince Frederick Charles. General
D'Aurells has force of fifty thousand
men on the north bank of the Loire, and
seventy thousand on the south bank.
The destruction of roads and bridges be-
tween Commercy and Orleans has pre-
vented the advance of the army under
Prince Frederick Charles. He has about
seventy-fve Thousand men, a great part
of whom are probably north of the
Marne.

The elections have resulted a. they
usually do at this period after the Prssi'
dental election. Those who arc thor-
oughly acquainted With tho pec.liar
workings Of American polities sv;ncs
no surprise at the late Democratic gains.
Gains to the opposition party. whichever
it may be. invariably come in the elec-
tions of the second year after the election
of National Administration. In the
second year of the life of an Administra
ton mistakes are grouped. Disafected
men-men who have been disappointed
in their greedy designs-combine and
usually unite with the opposition. and
hurl all the mis- takes that they have col
lected against it. How nearly this was
true in the late political campaign. the
reader, if he etops to think. may learn.
The Pittsburg Gazette. in speaking Of
the changes that usually come in the Sec

Constitutional Convention.

The Union League Of Philadelphia
s,me time ago inaugurated measures
which, if adhered to, and adopted by the
Republican party generally, cannot fail
of inducing the Legislature soon to con-
vene. to favor the calling of State Con
vention to amend the State Constitution.
The desire for an amendment is not con-
fined to the Republican party, it is hearth
ly shared by Democrats. The amend
rnendments should not be of a partisan
character. The Constitution is for the
government of the whole people. and
should be shaped to single purpose, and
that purpose the public good.
The prominent points now talked OF in
connection with the amendments, are
Special lcgi.la'ion-protection against
it in the Constitution.
The offering and the acceptance of
bribrs on the par. of Legislators.
A change in the distribution and secu
rity of the public funds.
A change in regard to the power of
corporations. ..
An increase of the members of both
houses of the Legislature
The election of State Treasurer, At.
torney General. Adjutant General aud
State Superintendent of Common Schools.
The election of Lieutenant General.
Several other points are referred TO
which are not here mentioned, but which
shall be spoken OF at another time. Let
the people earnestly think over the
changes spoken Of.

iOoke0 aIter Dy the cOiiectOr OF customs
After leaving Jacksonville the party
landed at Savannah yesterday. The
passengers, thirty.six in number. witbou,
doubt. all perished in their state-rooms
When the steamer suddenly lurched
over on her beam ends the water poured
into the cabin, where they were securely
fastened to die horrible death without
even battling for existence. 1t would
have been madness, the survivors, state,
to have attempted to rescue them, as the
cabin was trap into which it was GER
tain death to venture. Horrible as the
thought. nothing could be done by the
officers and crew but save themselves.
A feeling of apprehension and uneasiness
seems to have existed among the passen-
gers, according to the statement of the
survivors; for one or two days previous
to the disaster, while during the tumult
of the hurrican, when it was at its fer
cest, their demeanor was the extreme of
fear and terror, and many were painfully

This is one of the most terrible disas-
ters that has occurred on the Atlantic
coast since the loss Of the Evening Star,
though the fury of the hurricane in this

Spenrer was injured while standing on
the deck just before the steamer went
down.
