Mezieres Occupied by Prussians-King
William to the Queen-He Can Not
Foretell the Enemy's Fate, and Shrinks
from Learning the Prussian Losses.
BERLIN, August 22.-The Prussians occu-
pied Nezieres to-day.
The following is an extract from letter
from King William to the Queen, dated a.
Resonville, August 10, about $3.50 P. NJ:
1.-The fighting ceased gradually. The
troops have performed miracles of valor
against an enemy equally as brave which
withdrew by inches, resuming the offensive
only to be again repulsed I can not fore
tell the enemy's fate. shrink from learn
ing our losses

EXPELLING THE GERMANS.
From the Chicago Tribune.I


Not the least of the mistakes OF the French
Emperor is his attempt, in a notice OF only
three days, to force the resident Germans
out of France. They are said to number
100000 in Paris, and nearly 2,00o,00O IN
France. They are among the most useful
of French artisans, mechanics and heavy
workmen. They are just the kind OF work
men the French government needs to have
ut home to maintain its Industries, ana pre-
vent them from being utterly broken down
by the withdrawal of SO many workingmen
into the army. If Napoleon could succeed
in eiecting 10000 of these workingmen, it
would be equivalent to q reinforcement OF
the German armies by &c, 600, for One-half OF
those elected would promptly enlist under
King William the moment they reached
German soil, and the rest would find EN-
ployment in German industries, whose pro-
ducts and taxes would go 70 maintain the
army.
!, President Lincoln, during our rebellion,
had more mother-wit than Napoleon now
displays. When reminded that jeff Davis
was driving Unionists out OF the Conted-
eracy, and urged to eject Southerners and
virulent rebels resident i'll the North, he
answered: "No! we need good supply OF
Copperheads to help pay taxes, raise crops,
and run our railroads and other industries
We can use them and take care of them
send them across the lines, they reinforce
the rebel army, and we have so many more
men to help outnumber Mcclellan"
The same policy should govern the treat
ment of the resident Germans in France.
They are among the most orderly people IN
France. The danger of agitation and re-
bellion comes, not from them, but from the
French. Their pecuniary interests are in
favor of peace that will not be disastrous
to France, while their hereditary love OF
Fatherland will naturally, in most cases,
cherish the hope that the German nation
may bear itself nobly i'll the contest. These
are not the inf1am1na BILE elements of France,
because, being German. they are. by their
nativity, cut off from ali political influence.
1t is probable, as the Paris advices state,
that the order is a mere sop to the French
trades unions, who raise a clamor against
the Germans, in order TO drive their labor
out of the market, and raise wages. French
generalship seems to be. on the whole, no
worse than her craftsmanship.

A DEAD Loss IN PRINTING.-When the
Emperor declared war against Prussia, he
concocted an imperial proclamation, of
which he ordered several million copies TO
be printed in Paris for distribution in the
States of South Germany, and among the
people of Hanover, who were supposed to
be so greatly disaffected toward Prussia
that thew would hail the advent of the
French army. The French troops were to
scatter this proclamation broadcast among
the inhabitants of the regions through which
they were to march. vict0riously, and it was
supposed it would have tremendous effect.
1t is grievous to think that so many millions
Of copies Of this Napoleonic proclamation
have been reduced to waste paper.

The New York Tribune SAYS:

Liberia is sadly in need of a railroad, and
her President is in this country endeavoring
to induce capitalists to invest in such an
enterprise. The natural wealth of the
country is very great, and can be developed
almost without limit. Railways already ex-
ist in many places where there are fewer
demands and fewer chances for their tinan-
cial success than in Liberia. The govern
ment in Liberia is firmly established and
eauitably administered. Railways already
exist in certain States-New York, for in
stance-where the government extends less
security to stockholders than they would be
likely to obtain in Liberia.

The Iberyille South says:

The Mississippi river is quite low. We
lately stated that several cavings of the
banks had occurred in the parish, carrying
away levees. We have been informed that
other levees have fallen in since. Most of
these cavings are serious. New levees OF
considerable size are to be built, and just
now is the proper time to commence the
work. Whoever is to attend to this matter
had better stir up, and that at once. The
people demand this, and they have perfect
right to demand it. Do them at least the
favor of letting them know if they are to
rely upon their own resources or not.

Down With Prussia.


4 b0s Le P,1tsse is the cry of the mad
dened Frenchmen. 1t would be difficult
for them to give any reason, satisfactory
10 an intelligent mind why Prussia should
be put down. Four weeks ago King vii
liam was at a wateringplace in Wurtcm-
berg, recruiting his health: Bismarck had
gone to his farm in Pomerania for the same
purpose. The Prince of Hohenzollern had
declined the throne of Spain. The million
German soldiers now tramping down the
levineyards of France We're pursuing their
peaceful avecatiOns at home. Suddenly
the French Emperor astounds the civilized
world by declaring that France accepts
the war which Prussia offers" This was u
lie. Straightwav French legiOns were hur-
ried to the Rhine as fast as steam could
carry them, and a war OF gigantic proper
tions commenced, with the avowed object
OF invading Prussian territory.
Down with Prussia is now the asinine
cry of the aggressors. who find the war
pushed across the Moselle. mo peace
while the Prussians are on French soil y is
the equally senseless clamor of the French
newspapers. How came the Prussians TO be
on French soil! Who brought them there !
Is it likely that peace will ever be declared
on German soils And if it is not to be de
clared on French soil or German SOIL where
will it be declared!
The fact is, that this is a war of one man
against the German nation. So long as the
French people allow themselves to be bam-
bOoZled with the idea that they have any
cause of quarrel with Germany, when they
manitestly have none, they deserve all the
suffering and humiliation that the war en-
tails upon them! What reason had they to
set out on thrOat-cutting expedition across
the Rhinel None before God and man,
none whatever.
A singular condition OF things exists at
Fall River, in Massachusetts,. The factory
hands have struck against reduction of
ten per cent in their wages. and as the pro-
prietors have refused TO recede from their
proposed reduction, the works have
stopped. Five hundred thousand spindles
and twelve thousand looms have rested in
idleness for four weeks, and the world is
short about $1,000 yards of prints. Not to
speculate on what would become of the
women if the stock of calico should give
out, it is serious matter how the
difficulty is to be settled as 10
the mere matter OF dollars and
cents. The manufacturers declare that
the factories are not profitable at present
prices, and that even at the reduced rate of
wages, they would not make any money by
running their works. On the other hand,
the workmen declare that they can not sup
port themselves and their families on the
wages which it is proposed TO pay them.
This seems to us difficult situation to get
out of, for capital will hardly consent to
operate at a loss, and labor says it can not
live if money is to protect itself. As the
man said to the landlord. who demanded
pay for bread and meat, perhaps tie manu-
facturers had better sell out to somebody
who can pay the wages.
