Hagenau, the Scene of ttse French
Defeat,

: Hagenau, the principal city ofsthe arror
basement Of Strasbourg, with I'll 800 lnhs
bitants, is situated in the middle OF th
forest of Nour, and is q place of garrls 50
of the fourth class. This towns thn name
of which has been variously slHed Hache-
psau u a1.Ltf4o *. OF Hagenon, has
its origin in castle belonging to the kings
of France, and which was built in the
twelfth century. In 1154 Frederick l. had
the town surrounded by fortified walls, and
there defended the crown, the sceptre, and
the sword, of Charlemagne. The glorious
relics were secretly purloined by the Bishop
of Spire and taken to Castle Triefels. The
German emperors had there a palace, and
often soiourned there. 1t was IN the castle
of Hagenau that Richard Ceur de Lion was
kent a prisoner by the Emperor Henry ~.
The Thirty Years War brought much
misery on the place, and during it the IN
habitants were reduced from 1,3OO to only
$50. The Notifications were RACED IN 1913
by order of Louis XIV, built up again
year after, and after that destroyed tnree
times.
Tn 17O5 and 1744 the Austrians took the
place. but did not hold it long. The Ale
Der Promenade, laid out in 1911 in honor OF
the birth of the King of Rome, is very hand
some, and extends towards the Porte dc
Strasbourg. The city is the seat of col
lege. has q considerable number OF indus
trial establishments, and is altogether III
iourishing condition.
In leaving Hagenau one reaches at once
on open farming country, with the horizon
limited on the left blythe Yosges mountains.
Soon the woods enclose the traveller on both
sides, and the city disappears entirely from
view.

It will be remembered that in his recent
conversation with our correspondent
"DgNIs General JOSEPH JOHNSTON criti-
cised the plan of battle followed by General
VoH MoLTKE ut sadowa, and said that such
q General as SToNEwAIL JACKSON Or GRANT
would have whipped the great German SOL

adds to the interest of the following para

what he did at Sadowa-diyided his army

The news from Paris must be taken with

know from recent experience what sort Of

army of 100, 900 men would not have much
to fear from the resistance of even million
of militia. In fact, IN army Of a million OF

AWELL-REMEMBERRD SOMEHOW II re-
calls to mind what we saw few years ago
in Virginia to read, as we do in the foreign
news, that near the locality Of the late bat
tie the country people seemed to be in great
CONSERVATION. The roads which lead TO
Haguenau were covered with peasants car
rying their goods and cattle with them, ana
crying over the sad fate reserved for their
humble cottages. So fed Ex-Governor
JOHNSON and many others that we could
name before MCCLELLAs's army in West
Virginia, carrying with them such house
hold goods as they had been able in the
hurry Of their sudden departure to scrapf
together.
But let no one understand us as CHASING

The cable tells us that financial circles in

BUTLER was guilty during the late war IN

Grand Scene I'm the Streets OF Paris
Murat Halstead, Esq, editor-in-chief of
the Cincinnati Commercial, writes to his
paper as follows from Paris:
On Friday the certainty of war became
known, and Friday night there was scene
of excitement in Paris such as has seldom
been witnessed on this perturbed planet.
The people were upon the bouleyards by
hundreds of thousands, covering the side
walks. which are as broad as our Fourth
streets for miles, and swarming in the doors
and windows while the carriages, public and
private, filled the vast streets in endless
professions. A war crowd, with the ma
tional colors in advance, reared up the
street, and carriages and spectators giving
way right and left, allowing them to pass,
closing I'D after them with tumult like the
rush Of many waters. For two miles at
leastethere were four lines of carriages
moving in one direction, and one string re-
turning, the street between the sidewalks
having capacity for five carriages abreast;
Each carriage here carries two lamps, and
| when in service they are well lighted. The
carriage-lamps Illuminated the boulevards,
looking ct little distance as if ali the Wide
Awakes of the Lincoln campaign IN the
United States had come to Paris and found
street-room for the display of q gigantic pa.
rade with all their torches. With this show
on the street as o basis, think of the tau
houses on either side, splendor by the
league, the cafes blazing out IN speclai lIiu.

VIRGINIA NEWS.
From the AleSand ia Gazette

Any attempt to revive old party issues in
this State now-to array Wings and Demo-
Gratis against each other-to cavil about
names, or to do anything to distract the
harmony which has and still prevails in the
ranks Of the opponents of Radicalism-
should be discOuntenanced. Unity and
energy are now wanted to disenthrall Vir-
ginia. The following, from the Lynchburg
Frginian, expresses the true sentiment,
which should actuate all /: eve are not at
all concerned, as some of our contempora-
ries seem to be, about q name for our party.
That Of Conservative answers the purpose
well enough, and is sufficiently distinctive.
We are not called upon by any existing ne
cessity to change it. Let us not trouble
ourselves with discussions about this. We
are Conservatives, as opposed to Radical
ism, and that is enough. Let every man
who has been with us in the past stand
firmly to his colorS in the future, and Radi.
calism will suffer Waterloo defeat in Vir-
ginia." -
