reasons urged by Napoleon for the precipita-
ton of hostilities were grossly insufficient
Any man who, in this age, unnecessarily
imperils the lives of thousands of
human beings deserves severe condem-
nation for that act alone, and Napoleon loses
all claim to our sympathy from the outset,
by his occupancy of the attitude of wanton
aggressor. The prize for which both nations
will fight will be the extension of their from
tiers. Napoleon will strive TO fasten French
chains on men of German extraction,
and Bismarck will endeavor to
cement to Germany hereafter all the territory
which France has hitherto despoiled. On this
issue, too, our sympathies naturally go with
Prussia rather than France. So far as the
Emperor Individually is concerned,
we cannot easily forget his be-
trayal of republican principles in
his own land or his desire to crush republi-
canism in this country. His career teens
with new and atrocious illustrations of the
unscrupulous and despotic nature of Napo-
leonic ambition, and as his overthrow may
open the way in France for an improved sys-
tenn of government, we can reconcile his down
fall with q friendly feeling to the French
people. For the general interests of civiliza-
ton and mankind, we believe that it will be
better for Prussia to triumph than France.
The necessities of large standing armies in
Europe will diminish with the downfall
of Napoleonic dominance, and the chances of
a steady and sure advance of true freedom
will be far better if Prussia becomes the
acknowledged leader of the Continent than if
France continues to set controlling example
by frittering away her energies in unpro-
ductive revolutions and fruitless changes.

SYMPATHY FOR PRUSSIA.

JUDGING by the tone of the press and the
comments of individuals, the American peo-
pie instinctively, and with a rare degree of
unanimity, sympathize with Prussia in the
present European conflict. Although we
have no immediate interest in the struggle, it
is natural that we should form opinions
in regard to the merits of the
controversy and wishes in reference to its
result. The popular verdict is that the

Bold RObherieS.

A despatch from Reno, New, dated
the 9Th inst, says, the Central Pacific
passenger train, bound east, and due here
at a. M, to-day, arrived at Vendi, a
small station, eleven miles east of Reno,
in time. Justsas the train was starting
from that station three masked men
boarded the express car, and five more
Immediately came to their aid from the
rear cars. These five evidently came
from the West on the train.
Six stopped in the express car, which
they detached from the main train, cut
ting the signal rope, two jumped on the
engine, and placing pistols to the engi-
neers head commanded him to move on,
which he did. Two brakemen endeavor-
ed to keep the masked men off the ex-
press car, but pistols placed at their heads
compelled them to retreat. The con-
ductor rushed forward but the pistols
stopped him. Finding hatchet he came
forward again in time to see the engine
and express car separated from the train
and flying down the track.
The robbers then placed the fireman,
express and mail messengers in the mail
room and locked them up. When six
miles from the station the robbers stop
ped the train and broke open the express
boxes and robbed them of $41 900 in
gold coin. A later investigation shows
that they put the coin in old boot tops
and escaped to the mountains. All the
telegraph wires were cut west Of Reno.
Two of the Western Union Telegraph
wires were repaired by daylight and
business is not interrupted.
On the 7th inst, another train was
robbed in similar manner, and SO, 100
in specie taken from the Express mes
senger. 1t is supposed these robberies
are committed by deserters from, the U.
s. Army.

FOREIGN News,

The armistice which was announced to
have been arranged between the French
and Prussians, failed to be ratified by the
French authorities, owing to the refusal
of Bismark to allow Paris to be -victualed
during that time. The war is conse.
quently going on, with renewed vigor.-
Several battles have been reported as
having taken place in the vicinity of Or.
leans, which resulted disastrously to the
Prussians. The siege of Paris is main
tanned, but as yet, the city has not been
bombarded. Late reports say that nego-
tiations have again been resumed and at.
tempts are again being made to secure an
armistice.

ELECTIONS.

During the past week elections have
been held in nineteen different States.
In New York, Hoffman the Democratic
candidate for Governor, was elected by
about 10000 majority. Both parties claim
the Legislature, and it will be determined
only by the official return.
Virginia elected three democratic and
four republican Congressman.
Massachusetts, of course went as it al
ways does, largely republican.
Delaware and Kentucky were carried
by the Democracy, but with reduced ma
jority, as compared with former elections.
New Jersey has been carried by the
republicans, and the legislature now elect
ed having to elect the next U. S. Sena-
tor, renders the result of this election of
more Importance.
Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Rhode Island, have also been
carried by the republicans.
From Nevada, Tennessee, Louisiana,
Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, and Mary
land, the returns are so incomplete that
it is impossible to tell the result with any
degree of certainty. In several of those
States, however, the democrats have con-
siderable gains.

AMONG the bills presented to the
Lake Shore nitro-glycerine company for
damages resulting from the explosion at
Fairport, last week, was one for killing
horse. The owner stated that he lived
28 miles from Fairport. His horse was
standing in the barn, and was instantly
killed--so suddenly, in fact, that he had
not time to fall, but was found standing
erect, in the act of reaching for wisp
of hay. Mr.. Hinkley, who went up to
Fairport to settle for the damages, de-
clined to audit this bill.

A Narrow but Efficient Railroad.

There is in North Wales two-feet
gauge railway which, originally con-
structed for the purpose of carrying stone
and slate to the seashore, is now used as
a regular freight and passenger line.
The London RdiI,oay NeWs says of this
two-feet gauge system that its economy
and efficiency will cause it to be exten-
sively adopted" The revenues derived
by passengers and traffic from this North
Wales road are thirty per cent. on the
capital. This large profit is due to the
diminished expenses of construction and
working, and is in striking contrast to
the vast sums often swallowed up in the
construction in thinly inhabited districts,
of wide-gauge roads, which struggle
against loss and debt in the vain hope
that the mere presence of the roads will
result in building up the districts through
which they pass. In view of the relative
results of the two systems, it would not be
unadvisable for railroad projectors in this
country to look into the two-feet gauge
system before building their roads.
Such a road could be easily built
through this county, and we call the at
tention of the commissioners of the d. B.
& b. L. r. r., to this style of road, which
would entirely remove the objections here
tofore given as to the cost being beyond
the amount of money which could be
raised. If they don't soont the road built,
