The War In Enrope.

The news from the seat of war in
Europe this morning is meager, and
by no means exciting. The impor-
tanee of the victories achieved by the
Prussians at Weissenburg, Woerth
and Hageneau magnifes as details
reach US. The battles were terribly
bloody, and the loss to the French far
greater than at first represented. The
calm that now exists is doubtless only
the prelude to a more destructive
storm, that may now be raging around
Metz, and the news Of which may
reach Us at any moment.
The news from Paris is more inter
esting and suggestive. The scene In
the Corps Legislatif; the sending of
the Prince Imperial. the jewels of the
Empress, and the famous Brunswick
diamonds to England, indicate the
horrible dread that has seized on the
Regent and her supporters and ad-
visers. Il is manifest that a new
Reign of Terror" exists in Paris.

Cable Dispatches to the New York
PaDeFS.

NEW York, August 10.-A special
cable dispatch, from London, says that
letters from Metz speak In a most
undisguised way of the calamitous
and fabulous incapacity of the EN-
peror.
Marshal LeBeuf, and all military
dandies composing the military staff
of the army, have utterly lost the
confidence of the army, and q change
| of command was an absolute neces-
sity, to prevent mutiDy. All this,
while there is no official news what
ever, of the Whereabouts of the Prus-
sian army, and under the clrcum-
stances no news is bad news.
It is stated that Gen. McMahon
wanted, some days before the battle,
to fire the forests in his front, through
which the Germans come down un-
expected upon the French, but the
Emperor declined to authorize the
step.
Lefrene, editor of the jSoir. who has
just arrived in Paris from Forbach,
says he witnessed the entire destruc-
tion of Frossard's corps, and claims
to speak for thirty thousand French
soldiers, who were cut to pieces by
the fault of their leaders, and who Ia
mented, with their latest cry, that
they fell uselessly.
The universal cry of the army, NJ.
Favre says, is, give US Generals that
we can trust.
The Soir was hitherto the govern
ment paper, but it now attacks the
Ministry for clinging to power and
augmenting the garrisons of Paris,
when every soldier is wanted at the
frontier. IL further says: Every sol
dier now here is an insult to US. If
you are incapable of saving your
country, the country must save itself.
A special correspondent writes
from Paris late on Monday evening,
the 9Th: " From what [ hear of the
feeling among the people and army, l
think it more than possible that Ma
poleon will never re-enter Paris. The
army is sick of bis amateur general
ship"
The statement in the Gaulois of
secret alliance between France and
Italy and an expected Reinforcement
of 100. 900 Italian troops, is certainly
false No matter what the King may
have promised, his troops would not
march.
1t was rumored in Paris to day that
the Emperor is expected at St. Cloud,
inceQnito.
Nj. Buffet and other members of the
Left Centre and Right Centre have
signed requisition for the resigna
ton of Ministers, and the formation
of a new Cabinet. with Gen. Twatcher
at its head.
An attack was expected this after
noon, on the Bourse. The public were
driven out at half past two o'clock
by the Gardes de Paris, the gates
were closed all evening, and scarcely
any business was done.

POETRY,
WAITING FOR FATHER.

In the gray of the twilight and glow of the fire,
A little girl sat on the rug,
She was warming slipper; and pussy sat nigh her,
And also her friend Mr.. Pug.
And the song in the heart of the glad little girl,
As the light Of the fire played over each curl,
Was, " Father is coming-hurrah! hurrah!
Father is coming-hurrahw
She had spread out his soft wooden gown on the
chair,
With its facings of beautiful blue;
Had picked up her playthings that lay here and
there,
And fixed things as well as she knew.
"For the room must be tidy, and pretty and bright
She said to herself "when he comes every night,
And soon he is coming-hurrah! hurrah!
Father is coming-hurrah !!
How ROSY her cheeks, and how sparkling her eyes!
How dimpled her soft little hand!
While Pussy and Pug look as solemn and vice
As if the whole scene they had planned.
But YOU never would think, so demure are the
three,
That the little maids heart could be singing with
glee,
"Father is ccming-hurrah! hurrah
Father is cOming-hurrah!
The sunlight has vanished, and bleak is the street,
And beggars are dreading the night,
The pavement is noisy with home-Spceding feet
And only the windows ere bright;
When quickly the little maid springs from the rug,
Leaving Pussy half sleeping, but followed by Pug;
Father is coming-hurrah! hurrah!
Father has come-hurrah.'

a Snako Story.

\ Acorre ,ponient Of tho Fredericksburg lva.l
Ne,rs, writing from Serena p. O., Stafford
county, on the 2lst, says:
"While at Capt John b. Bcaslcy's fishing
shore on the Potomac river, few days since.
heard one Of the most remarkable snake
stories" that ever knew to come to pass in
these modern days. One Of Capt. BIS hands
bad been complaining for some weeks past,
saying lie felt things crawling about inside Of
him, and on the full OF last moon, he was so
annoyed that he could neither rest day nor
night. During the day on last Friday, he was
taken with lt Of coughing, which almost
caused stranguation, when to the surprise Of
several bystanders, a snake about eighteen in
chcs long came out Of bis mouth and ran across
the floor Of the shanty, when one Of the men
killed it, and has it now in a bottle Of spirits
IS strange az the above may seem, Capt. b.
and several Of bis hands are willing 10 testify
to the accuracy Of the statement.
The man himself says he has beon annoyed
for over twenty years, and that snake and
several black bugs and also frog came from
him last year. lie cats nothing but bread
aud coffee. When he cats meat, ho says ho
can feel something crawl in bis stomach, and

President of the West Md. Railroad
Company.

At special meeting Of the Directors Of tho
Western Marylanl Railroad Company, held in
Baltimore last week, ,says the HaSorstown
MlRl the resignation of Wendell Bollman,
Esq as President was accepted, and the Hon.
JAMES C. CLARKE, of Baltimore County, elect
ei to the position thus vacated. We under
stand through unofficial channels that some Of
Mr.. Clarke's friends expressed the belief that
that gentleman would not accept the appoint
ment, while Others gave every assurance that
he would. Should he not do So the cause may
possibly be the inadequacy of salary, The
position Of President Of Railroad. in the con-
diiion Of the Western Maryland, where every
thing is dependent upon the character and ca
pacity Of its head, has become one Of the most
important in the land, and dictates Of the pur-
est economy require the payment of such sala-
~ as will command the first talent which can
be procured. Money il merely thrown away
upon one not entirely competent, and only q
high salary will procure frst-rate talent. Tho
capacity Of Mr.. Clarke for this position is un-
questionable, and with his uutiring energy, his
perseverance, and his zeal to accomplish any
thing he may undertake, there is no doubt he
will complete this road, il anybody can do so.
We therefore hope to hear that Mr. Clarke has
been induced to accept the position, as his &C
ccptance viii in itself be guarantee Of that
rrr-lt
