BORDEAUX, January 4.-The following. is
official. General Faidherbe sends the fol-
lowing dispatch to the Minister of War.
dated january 3: 1--WE haye fought battle
near Bapaume, which lasted from eight In
the morning to six in the evening of Mon
day. We have driven the Prussians from
all their positions and villages occupied by
them. The enemies losses are enormous;
ours are serious
Paris advices show that there is intense
excitement among the population, who de-
mand grand sortie.
A number of the Mayors of the city
called upon General TrOchu, and insisted
that he give way to this desire of the
people.
Some of the Paris journals accuse Trochu
of feebleness, and q number of the Bor-
deaux newspapers, in noting this express
sion of opinion, seem to coincide.
1t is understood that orders have been
sent to generals In the field to hasten move

sent to command the French forces al

THE PEOPLES BANK-We are much
pleased to see that the prediction we made
as to the success of this institution upon its
first starting in business last year, has been
more than verified, as it declared a dividend
OF five per cent on the second instant, which
will be payable on Monday next. When it
is considered that this has been the result
of not a years business, with only an
average of about one-third Of its capital
paid in, and that all the great expenses
incidental to the inauguration of a new
business have been deducted from its earn
ings, the real work done by the bank can be
properly appreciated. In fact, such sue
cess is hardly to be found in the annals of
our public institutions, and the officers and
directors OF the bank may we'll take an
honest pride in it; and the commercial pub
lie can safely hereafter rely upon it as one
OF their bower anchors in times Of strin9ency
in the money market. Stockholders i'll this
bank are notified per advertisement pub
lished in another column, that those who
are in arrears fUr their installments are
required to pay up previous to the fifteenth
instant, or their stocks will be forfeited,
according to the charter of the bank.

LETTER FROM THE RECEIVER OF
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

NBw ORLEANS, january 4. 1870.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
After the notice Of the case Of myself as
Receiver vs.. K. Taylor, in the Fifth District
Court, which appeared in the Times OF yeo
terday, perhaps an explanation is due to
the creditors Of the First National Bank,
that they may see that am not squander-
ing the assets of that institution by incur
ring costs and attorneys fees in hopeless,
not to say ridiculous proceedings.
beg to assure them that have attempted
nothing SO foolish as to "seek to make tho
property of the State subject to seizure to
pay a citizens debt" Nor do l propose to
do so. Such an attempt should certainly
subject me to censure, if not to removal
from Office.
On the other hand, to suppose that be-
cause a citizen is the lessee of the State, his
interests as such lessee, whatever they may
be- can not be subject to the satisfaction of
an honest indebtedness, and to act accord
ingly, would be to display an ignorance or
incompetency, it may be, equally reprehen-
sible.
Ii such is the law OF Louisiana, it would
seem to follow that debtor has only to in
vest whatever he may be worth in property
leased from the State and he may laugh at
his creditors so long as the lease runs.
As 10 the decisions of Judge beaumont,
do not care to criticise them in the public
prints. OF say which is the more ''remark-
~ bn u
favor, was pronounced, the State had not
intervened; the Attorney General, up to
that time, being Of opinion that Il levy upon
and sale Of the interests OF General
Taylor. under the canal lease, could
no. possibly anoun; to ''subjectins
the property of the State 20 seiz
ure 20 pay citizens debit" nor could
he. up to that time, see how such levy and
sale could prejudice the rights Of the State.
1t was after that ruling and after :. motion
made for new trial that he concluded to
intervene. The result was the new trial
was granted. ,he States Intervention was
filed, which was Immediately answered by
nv counsel, the case submitted by them
without further argument, and the court

cided the ease against mco

We transfer to our columns the following
from the Price Current Of yesterday:
l.. j. Highly, Esq, President New Orleans
Elevator Company, and other enterprising
associates, propose the organization Of an
ocean line of screw prOpellers of great
capacity and comparatively light draught,
to run between New Orleans and Liverpool.
The object of this line will be to favor a
foreign export trade of grain and other
Western produce, and, incidently, to take
up cotton and tobacco on freight Such %
line will, moreover, bring in return a great
deal Of merchandise for domestic and West
ern consumption. While, therefore, the
business of the line will be based upon
steady, year round shipments of Western
produce. it will carry assorted cargoes Of
all commodities exported from our port.
The capital is fixed at $2.OOO,OO0, and, as
the shares are only $50. it may be contrib
business men Of the Mississippi Valley, as
well as by the merchants Of New Orleans
and Liver,ool. We have no doubt but this
enterprise will meet with patronage and
success, because of the immense amount Of
produce annually delivered at this port for
export. and the still greater amount that
would be brought here with adequate in
ducements.
Our interest consists, however. princi-

which now 90 to Europe and the East by
artificial lines. In our opinion this only re-
quires the construction Of the proposed pro-
pellcrs, which are intended to have carry
ing capacity of $4,000 to l00, ,000 bushels.
We have heretofore suggested that this line
must run in close connection with cheap
river boats and harges, authorized to put
sraia through from Dubuque to Liverpool,
without change of hands, and at rate of
through freight and charges fixed and paid
before shipment. This will insure certainty
and dispatch But the combination of river
and marine line, should always Tx rates as
agains: the competing lines across the conn-
try. When the Western shipper Of grain
finds line that never speculatcs upon him,
nor throws him of for an offer Of higher
freights, he will patronize it and IS many
more lines as we may establish here. Such
enterprises chow that the advantages Of
this port are 90 obvious and 40 great that no
temporary depression can affect them per-
manently. We wish all success to Mr.
Highly aud his assocy y.tos, and trust they
may find all the c;.pitLl ded
