Immediately after the declaration of
war against Prussia proposals were
made to the Emperor Napoleon, by an
inventor, for "annihilating" the Prus-
slams on moderate terms. An immense
net of fine wire, "capable of enveloping
an entire army corps, y with solid can
non balls attached to the corners to
keep 1t steady, was to have been fired
at the foe from a monster mortar pro-
vided for that purpose. The wire net
would, according to the intentions of
the inventor, have fallen on the body
of troops marked out for destruction or
capture; when, seeing the enemy en-
tangled in its meshes, the French would
have nothing to do but march up to
them, or, in case of resistanceput them
to death The rejection of this new
military machine was attributed by the
inventor to treachery' on the part of
the chiefs who declined to employ it

The introduction of new method OF
warming railroad cars on some OF the
French and German lines has been at
tended with gratifying success. A
preparation of WOO | charcoal nitrate OF
potash and starch is employed. At
first the charcoal was burnt in pertora-
ted boxes two feet long, four and one
half 1ncees wide, and two and three
fourths inches deep. 1t was found,
however, that this combustion caused
violent headache, and the charcoal was
put into close iron boxes, placed under
the seats, double top being employed
to prevent the seats of the cars from
becoming too hot. The prepared char
coal is packed into the boxes in pieces
four inches wide, three inches thick.
On the line between AK la Chapelle
and Berlin eight pieces of charcoal
were used for heating a compartment.
This quantity efficiently warmed the
car during sixteen hours, and at the end
of the journey the fuel was still red hot
This prepared charcoal costs thirty-twc
shilings per cwt., and the expense OF
heating one compartment is said to be
much less than that required by any OF
the ordinary methods employed, being
less than two cents an hour.

ARCADIA, Tenn, June 18th, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: For the forty
eight hours last past it has rained at
least two thirds of the time, ard every
branch and creek are full to OverfiOWing.
Saturday evening, from Bristol west, dis
tance of twelve miles, there was q most
terrific rain storm that lasted from two to
four hours, and Sabbath evening last
the southern portiom of the county was
equally as well drenchcd. The storms of
the season have been very frequent and
unusually severe. Harvesting is about half
over and the wheat that was not cut when
the rain began to fall now lies flat upon the
ground, and hundreds of acres, if saved at
all, will be done in the old time way
sckled The wheat crop Of the present
havesting is ola superior quality, and the
breadth of the same last fall was unprece-
dented. Corn in the bottom lands is COW
ered or rather surrounded with water ,and
on the upland it looks tender and delicate.
Oats were never more promising and
the fruit crop will be an average
one. 1t is thought in some localities that
there will be no peaches at all, whilst in
others there are no apples. The old crop
of peaches is about exhausted. The berry
crop rarely makes failure, and this sea-
son is no exception, I am glad to say, for
really many poor child would 90 without
a new frOck or pair of shoes if the berries
should fail to come.


AS the season grows on apace the people
begin to talk about elections. Our August
election will be exceedingly quiet in this
county, unless the rival Democratic can
didates (of this county, for Congress sub
NIT their claims to private poll, to be
taken on that day-which question is be-
ing mooted by their friends. In that event
matters will be lively. We have but one
candidate for sheriff; and for the other
offices to be filled at that time there will
be no contest, except that among the DEM
ocrats, and these are very sleepy ones. We
have a more difficult problem to solve than
perhaps our wOOl-gathered friends on the
democratic side have, though they
seem to be terribly put to, whilst we
are seemingly serene as the evening
breeze in the approaching Congressional
race. We once had a large majority in
this District, and then q nomination was
equal to an election if our man was pos
sessed of any talent or character !;
but now, to insure victory, we
yet have bare majority, it will
take q strong man without spot or
blemish. We may be mistaken, but we
think good military record would add
strength to our ticket, and combine with
that honesty and ability, and the victory
is ours. n OF lew eA-WearerS or the grey

The Vice Roy proposes voluntarily TO lay
down the absolute authority he now possesses
over the lives and the property of his fellow
citizens. and to submit himself as well as
them to the operation of just and equal writ
ten laws. He has arranged his system OF
Judiciary with the same deliberate ana
thoughtful care which he has given to every
other branch Of his Government, and mas Sc
cured the services of capable and honorable
men, both natives and Europeans, to carry
out his plans. The foreign powers have al
ready consented to the abolition OF their Con-
sulir jurisdiction, and only the consent Oh inc
Porte was wanted, which it is now reported
ha, been given. This is a great step forward

With little notice and little sympathy from the

telegraph, and commerce everywhere is BEGIN
ming to feel the quickening influence OF easy
communication and social order. Civilization
IL no longer isolated on the shore OF the Medl-
erranean. Besides extending his authority
over Lower Egypt the Khedive is preparing
to bring his seven millions of Nubian subjects
under his active control, pushing his railways
gradually into the great cotton-bearlng regions
of Soudan. Such a ruler deserves the consid-
crate sympathy and cordial recognition OF all
enlightened nations.

The Vice Roy of Egypt appears to have


accomplished one important result by his re-
cent journey to COnstantinOple. He has gained
it is said, the assent of the Sultan to the


establishment in Egypt of his Civil Code, by


means of which the Kingdom will hereafter be


governed by law instead of Consular and Vice


Regal caprice, as heretofore. In most Oriental


countries this Consular jurisdiction has much


in its favor Where there is no law or settled


society, where the rulers are corrupt or


ignorant. the power given to COnsuls to judge


their own citizens is necessary and advan-


tageous. 1t is sometimes liable to abuse, but,
on the whole, the Western nations are in the
habit of sending representatives better quail
fed to dispense justice than the SER
wants of the arbitrary authorities in
whose dominions they are established.
But no such justification of this exceptional
jurisdiction exists in Egypt. The present
Khedive is as enlightened and just ruler as
any sovereign of Europe, far in advance of
most of them in energy, industry, and fore
sight. He is surrounded by competent
ministers, one of whom, Nubar Pasha, is one
of the most accomplished of living diplO-
matists and statesmen. The Government of
the Vice Roy is fully able and disposed to
.maintain order and TO see justice done among
individuals. Yet up to the present time on
account of the jealousy of the Ottoman Porte,
it has been impossible for this enlightened
Prince to establish in his wide dominions any
settled rule of law. For his own sub
jects there has been merely the Koran
and the caprice Of authority. For
the foreigners who form 80 important
a portion of the trading and manufacturing
classes there has been the irresponsible and
often incompetent and reckless jurisdiction of
the Consuls. An illustration of the effects of
this divided authority was seen in the case of
StrOlogo, servant of our Consul General
Butler. whO having attacked and beaten mis-
