BEsIEGED CITIES OF FRANCE. - After
having been one hundred days before Paris,
regularly besieging it, the German army
has begun to lombard that apparently
doomed city. On Tuesday the firing upon
Fort Mont Avron commenced. No doubt
one hundred days of suspense must have
appeared wearlsome and painful to the
besieging as we'll as the beseiged parties,
but that is not very long time for siege.
That of Sebastopol, which lasted eleven
months from October, 1854, to Septem-
ber, 1866 was far more remarkable. That
of Paris may be as destructive and as
tedious ere it closes. The Prussians have
been successful against the fortified cities
of France. The Tl0,es, becoming sentiment

Saturdays cable dispatches contain in
telligence of considerable interest and inn
portance. The Germans, having COM
pleted the armament of their batteries
south of Paris, commenced, on Wednes-
day, the bombardment OF the entrench-
ments at Villejuif aud Pont-du-jour, five
miles south of the city, and forts Issy,
Vsnvres and Montrouge, about the same
distance in southwesterly direction. The
attack was continued on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, and the result up to the day
last mentioned was the silence Of forts Issy
and Vanvres, two of the most important
of the detached defences of Paris. A
London dispatch reports that Fort Rosny
had also been rendered practically useless
through the destruction of its casemates
by the German guns. The principal Ger

twenty four aud shells weighing sixty-fye
pounds. Telegrams from Versailles FRI
day refer to the silencing of the above
forts as merely Temporary" result OF
the bombarament. The attack on the
forts west of Paris is momentarily ex-
pected, the heavy batteries of the besieg-
crs at and near Meudon being now ready
for use The latest advices from within
Paris are to the 4th, up to which time the
damage and losses from the bombardment
Of the defences had been slight. 1t was
believed, however, that there was danger
of riot in the city.
The German losses in the battles with
the French army OF the North near
Bapaume are variously estimated at from
5000 to 5000 those of the French at
1000 men.
On Friday the Germans attacked several
of the positions occupied by the French
army of the Loire, between La Louppe
and Vendome, and succeeded in carrying
them; but at nj sht the latter took the often.
sive and according to Bordeaux dispatch,
re-occupied them all and entered St
Armand, the Germans retiring towards
Vendome, leaving many wounded and
prisoners. King William describes this
affair as an engagement with the advanced
posts of the army of the Loire, in which
the Germans were victorious. He also
announces the capture of Rocroy, fifteen
miles northeast of Mezisres, with a large
quantity of supplies. Cbauzy's forces at
lie Louppe aud Vendome are said to num-

A dispatch from Havre announces the

between Roucn and Havre, on Saturday,

the Arlington estate from her father, and
with it his opposition to qualification and

husband into Dixie in 1861. Thirty years

seen her recently say that she is much
changed in personal appearance. having
been SO afflicted with rheumatism OF late

SINGULAR FATALITY.--ln West Penns-

with the family, took sick on the day of
the first funeral. Mrs. Julia Dunlap, wife
of William Dunlap, also took sick, aud in
a few days both we're taken to the grave
in one funeral procession. About the

"Baltimore is our natural market" said
a prominent agriculturist from the Valley,
when conversing with us the other day on
railroad matters. If so, it must be upon
the principle that "habit is second
nature" and trading with Baltimore must
have become so habitual to the farmers of
Rockingham, and even more Southerly
counties 10 the Valley, that they think it is
natural. An airline from Harrisonburg
to Alexandria is nearly the length of
similar line from Harrisonburg to Rich
mcnd from Alexandria to Baltimore
nearly one-half the distance from Har-
rison burg to Alexandria while the dis
tance from Richmond to the capes is about
one.half the distance from Baltimore to
the capes. Then what makes Baltimore
the natural market" for the Valley
Baltimore capital, enterprise, and far
seeing, but superlatively selfish, liberality.
"All roads lead to Rome" said the old
monks; and all roads must lead to Baltl-
more, or the Monumental City" will have
nothing to do with them. She has studied
commercial science, aud having ascertained
that exchange of commodities is the
profitable element in commerce, and
that the point of exchange is the
place to realize that profit, she has
bent all ber talent, capital and energy to
make Baltimore the place where the rich
products of Virginia shall be exchanged.
And until Richmond, and her outpost Nor
folk, are prepared to offer to the producers
In Virginia equal facilities for exchange o
commodities, as Baltimore does, they will
naturally seek that more distant point
and Richmond be mere way-station on
the route. Millions of tons of freight
passing over Virginia territory, in locked
cars, on untaxed railroads, she has en-
barrased herself to construct, operated 10y

than water carried over parched garden

The pipe is needed as conduit; but it must
be tapped and jst out its contents, before
it can fructify. If Richmond sits with
