pms Anril -Eyening.-There was a seri-
| ous engagement this morning between the gov
ernment troops and the communists. About
tn .Sonsand of the national guard marched on
tourbevoie, and were met by gen d'arms and
Sordes forestiers The captain of the latter
Salloped up, waving his cap, intending to adj
dress the communists, when zouave with that
body shot him dead. A general action fol-
lowed in which the gems darmes took five pris-
oners, one 76 years old, whom they shot imme-
diately. The guns of Fort Valerien swept the
road, and the communists fed. Twenty five of
the insurgents were killed and many wounded.
The engagement was over att o'clock. The ma
tional guard still hold Porte Maillot Battal-
ions of artillery are hurrying up, the rappel is
beating, and the ramparts are being manned.
The greatest excitement prevails.
PARIS, April 2, via London, April 3-6 A. M
Fighting has been going on since yesterday eve
ming at various points. In the place de la Con-
cOrde, this morning, cannonading was distinctly
audible, the sound coming from the direction of
Neuilly. The fortress of Mont Valerien opened
on the columns of the nationals which were
marching on COurlevoise, and kept up con-
tinuous fire for several hours to prevent them
from establishing themselves there. The fight
ing at Courlevoise was sharp. The reports are
conflicting as to which side fired the first shot.
The nationals were at first driven into Courle-
voise, where they maintained themselves for
some time, protected by the houses. They were
at last shelled out by Valerien, and fell back to
the bridge at Neuilly, where they kept up hot
fusilade. From this position they were again
forced to retire, and finally withdrew into the
city and shut the gates. The Versailles troops
did not attempt to follow. An estimate, prob
ably exaggerated, puts the loss of the national
guards at 200. The government troops shot the
prisoners as rebels. The popular indignation
against the Versailles government is terrific.
The nationals threaten to attack Versailles.
There is a report that the 74th regiment of the
line came to Paris on Saturday and fraternized
with the nationals.

DIAMONDS IN GEoRGIA.-The Augusta, Ga,
Constitutionalist is authority for the subjoined
story about the discovery and use of diamonds
in that state:
DIT would seem that here in Georgia men in
clnel to hunt diamonds may find field for
their energy. DR.. Stephenson of Hall county
says that about forty diamonds have been found
in Hall county alone, but the most valuable
have been destroyed or lost through ignorance
Of their character and value. Some negroes
broke one worth 100000 to see what it was. A
farmer describes one which was given him thirty
years ago, and used by himself as a child, and
his boys subsequently, for middle-man in mar
bles, but it was lost about the place six months
ago, and they are hunting for it now. Nothing
was known about its value until similar stones
we're pronounced to be diamonds, and then the
ialmer knew that be and his boys had been
glaylng marbles with a diamond, which, from
DESCRIPTION, the doctor thinks must be worth
si,vVO'OOO, and be one of the most valuable gems
III lhe world. The doctor says that labor and
Sapllai only are needed to prove these diamond
neids IN Georgia surpass in value those of Bra
zil, and are equal to any in the world, These
nome diamonds, 1t is confidently asserted. are Of
far finer water than any that have hitherto been
found in the South African diamond valley,

How DANIEL WEBSTER PREPARED HIS
SPEECHEs.-In one of the debates in congress,
which suddenly called Daniel Webster to his
feet, he made brief but quite eloquent sp ech,
apparently without any opportunity for previ-
GUS preparation In the course of his remarks
he threw out the following sentence, which has
ever since been admired as one of the most IL
monious and expressive in the English language.
He was speaking of our military conflict with
Great Britain: "0ur fathers raised their flag
against power to which, for purposes of for
eign conquest and subjugation, Rome, in the
height OF her glory, is not to be compared; a
power which has dotted over the surface of the
WnOle globe with her possessions and military
posts, whose morning drumbeat following the
sun in its course and keeping pace with the
hours, circles the earth with one continuous and
unbroken strain of the martial airs of ENGLAND %
AS he sat down, one of the senators con-
graduated him upon his speech, and, allud-
ing to the above passage, said that to him il
was inconceivable how Mr. Webster, in speech
formed so perfect and so beautiful sentence,
which with hours of study he could not improve.
Mr. Webster replied that the passage was not
extemporaneous; that, in his summer vacation,
he had visited Quebec, and, while standing
upon the massive and almost impregnable cita-
del there, looking out upon the wondrous scene
OF national grandeur and of natures loneliness
spread before him, the idea occurred 10 his
mind. He Immediately took his seat upon a
gun, and, with pencil and paper, sketched the
thought in the most appropriate language he
| could, at the moment, command. Upon arrlv-
ing at his hotel he sat down at his leasure and
wrote 1t and rewrote it, with many interlinea-
IONS and ensures, until he had nodded it into
. NY iorn OF words which satisfied him. He
tnen lald 1t aside in his retentiye memory. to he
useu Mneh the occasion should offer, The OBJ

The latest news in regard to the trouble in
the coal region, comes in dispatch sent from
Philadelphia. The report is that nothing will
be done by the legislature to remove it. There
fore, Gov. Geary will take the matter in hand
and call the railroads to account for violating
their charters. A writ of quo aCGTantO will be
issued, and the roads will be required to reduce
their charges for carrying coal to rates allowed
by their charters. If they refuse to do this, the
governor will take possession of the roads and
run them by state authority. This may lead 10
unreasonable settlement OF the controversy, and
bring all concerned to renew the business of
mining. If the parties to this controversy could
rend and destroy each other without serious
damage to other people, they might safely be
left to fight out their battle in their own way.
As it is, they should be called to order, and
made to discontinue their injury TO the public.

Some person who adopts the signature o
Collector" which is, we suppose, his ofiicia
title. has been laboriously attempting in thu
columns of the Boston Advertiser to enlighter
the public on the subject of the income tax and
the duties which the law imposes upon citizens
in regard to returns of income and the conse-
quent tax thereon. His last article, nearly d
column in length, was published on SATURDAY
In this, by the aid of citations from most Oh the
sections of all the income tax laws ever enact
ed, he claims to have proved that income re-
turns must include dividends, interest ana cou-
pons paid by corporations from August LIST to
December s1st, 1870 This, he says, is "plain
enouqb.D that any other construction would
"icnore the first elements of justice and equity"
and make the acts of congress on this subject
contradictory and unmeaning legislation"
Perhaps some of the Bostonians read
this argument and were convinced. If
SO, they are probably satisfied now, that
in working their way through it they were
throwing away their time, as the collector"
was wasting his while he prepared it. For on
the same day appeared in another Boston paper
a copy of letter addressed by Gen. Pleasanton,
the commissioner of internal revenue, to Col. W.
R. Lee, the assessor of the third district in which
he commissioner says that dividends, interest,
&C., declared and paid by corporations from
August list to December LIST are not to be in
Guided in returns of income for the year 1870.
1t would seem almost cruel in Gen. Pleasanton,
f he knew what he was doing, to demolish with
l single whisk of his pen the laboriously con-
'tructed argument of his Boston subordinate.
But it is possible that the charge of cruelty
should be made elsewhere, and that Collectors
etter is a ponderouS specimen of the practical
okes to which the day of its publication-the
irst of the present months understood to give

A ridiculous story is going round the country
that Mr.. Bergh had young woman arrested
for beating an egg.
The Woman's Journal says 1.-THE world
does not want women who are good lawyers and
bad mothers-clever physicians and unfaithtul
wives-cear-headed and empty.hearted-for not
from these shall come completed womanhood."
"Now, gentlemen" said peripatetic lecturer
to a somewhat noisy crowd who had gathered
to one of his seances in an eastern village, "how
would you like q good BLACKBOARD story2 All
in favor will raise their hands," Nine-tenths Of
the dexter paws present instantly went up, aud
there was a sudden hush of all noisy demonstra-
tons. The lecturer went on with his original
subject, for few minutes, when some incautious
individual broke out with-"Say, where's that
story2" "Bless you," was the reply, 81 do not
intend to tell any such story. l only wanted to
know how many blackguards are present"
The number of people living on the banks of
the Northumberland TO great extent dependent
upon the river which moves the machinery Of
their factories and workshops-is estimated at
100000. They are located thus; At Newbury-
port and adjacent towns, 10000; at Haverhll
and vicinity, 10000; at Lawrence $4,000; at
Lowell, $4,000; at Nashua, 10000; at Manches-
ter, 80 900; at Concord, 10000; above Concord,
$4,000 This gives 125,O00 in Massachusetts and
10000 in New Hampshire.
