Interesting Summary OF News.


From two sources we have news of a battle
having been fought on Thursday evening at
Stenay, small town in Ardennes, about
twelve miles equi-distant from Metz and
Rheims, and seven miles north of Verdun.-
The Prussians were victorious, and an attack
on Montmedy was anticipated. The combat
was probably between portion of the army
Of Prince Frederick Charles and that Of Nc
Mahon, who after burning the camp at
Chalons marched enthusiastically, endeavor-
ing by that circuitous route to effect coop
GRAFTON with the army of Bazaine.


On the French side it is reasonably clear
that this junction has not yet been formed, al
though Bazaine is still cut off from Paris, and
there is no news at the Capital Of his move
ments. The only xcuse.which the Ministry
make is that be is too busy to send reports,
and they seek to allay the public excitement
by the announcement that he is engaged in a
grand strategical movement. Correspondents
writing from Paris seek to continue these
statements. and bid US look for most import

Bees generally remain in the cluster
from one to twenty-four hours. Indeed,
if not hived, they will sometimes remain
and die where they cluster, dwindling
away by degrees; consequently it is best
to have hives ready and hive them as

they may be carried Immediately to the

We endorse this sentiment fully.
We hold it to be the duty Of every
honest man, whatever be his politics,
to vote against these sha meess and
grinding monopolics and their agents.
If we we're entitled to vote in the
Syracuse district, we should oppose
Mr.. Mccarthy with all our mi ght.
We should first endeavor to defeat
him in the republican convention.
Failing in that we should labor to
beat him at the polls. We should
apply to his case the same principles
that we should apply to Jas. Fisk,
Jr., or any robber who should have
succeeded o far in dcbauchlng the
party as to secure It's nomination for
high office. And we should act up
on the same principles in any other
districts under similar circumstanc es.
The republican party was brought
into being to secure freedom to- all
the people-to secure to every man
the right to his own earnings, not
one-half, nor two thirds, nor three
fourths, but the whole. A law which
takes portion away from him, to
bestow it upon another man, is q de-
priyaticn of freedom, and only anoth-
er form of slavery, to destroy and
overthrow which, by all lawful means
We count our highest and most sol.

Our readers will sec by reference

pure. The highest considerations
Of public safety demand this. We
call upon the state central committee
in the name of an outraged public

MARRIAGE IN RUssIA.-The ladies in Rus sia are very anxious to marry, because they have no liberty before marriage. They are kept constantly under the maternal eye until given up to their husband and then they take their own course. Almost as soon as q girl is born, in the better ranks of society, her parents begin to prepare the dowry she must have when she goes to her husband. She must furnish everything for an outfit in life. even to dozen new shirts for her con- ing husband. The young man goes to the house of his proposed bride, and counts over her dresses, and examines the furniture, and sees the whole with his own eyes before he commits himself to the irrevocable bargain. In high life, such things are conducted with more apparent delicacy, but the facts are ascertained with accuracy, the business being in the hands of a broker or notary.

We publish on another page of the HERALD
to-day an interesting letter from our cor

grand peace rejoicing which was gotten up in
Rio on the 10th of July, and for which one
hundred thousand dollars were expended to
render it magnificent spectacle; but the
whole affair, instead of proving great sue
cess, turned out miserable failure. We
think it is about time that the Brazilians
ceased these Qualifications over the victories
of the allied armies in Paraguay. That
unfortunate country to-day is stepped 80 low
in humiliation, poverty and distress, that a
magnanimous enemy ought to refrain from
adding still further to the humiliating position
in which that brave, indomitable, yet con-
quered people are placed. Besides, Brazil
had better look to its own household more par
ticularly than what the government has been
doing of late. There are elements at work at
the present time that may shake the empire to
its very centre. The slavery question will
prove an excellent weapon in the hands of the
liberal party, and that they will use it we
have abundant proofs. Free labor in Brazil,
ere long, will supply the place Of slave labor,
and the public men and statesmen Of the
empire should consider the matter in deeper
sense than what they have been doing of late.
Displays which mean nothing but glitter and
which add taxation to a people already
heavily burdened, will not last long. Peoples

Our War Observation-Disclosures Grent vic-


tory for tho Prussians.


The decisive battle which the French have
been hoping and preparing for has been
fought. The Crown Prince met MacMahon's
forces on Tuesday night at Beaumont and
fierce battle ensued, which lasted up to
last evening. Both sides were reinforced
by immense numbers during the fight, which
was determined and bloody in the extreme.
MacMahon made a desperate resistance,
but was driven steadily from one posi-
ton to another, until he found himself
defeated beyond all hope of retrieval,
and broke in full retreat, with his shattered
army, for Sedan. The slaughter on both
sides was immense, and the victory for the
Prussians was complete. From all accounts
the fight as to numbers, fierceness and results
is the decisive battle that has settled
the question of the war. The Prus-
SLAMS, with their marvellous endurance

and steady resolution, will press the
pursuit so closely that MacMahon must
surrender. It is the history of Appomattox
repeating itself 1t is the disordered and
hopeless fight OF Lees army re-enacted on
French soil. The questions of Napoleon's
escape or capture, of the future Of France,
of the establishment of republic
or of the restoration of the Bourbons are all
on the very verge of settlement. The grand
armies that went forth so vauntingly to shape
the German Confederation in accordance with
the Napoleonic idea of what the map
of Europe should be are completely
scattered, and Napoleon himself is
probably fleeing through Belgium. We
may, therefore, predict the immediate close
of the short but bloody war that has en-
chained the attention Of Christendom for the
last six weeks-a war that has, in point Of
grand strategy, rapid movement and decisive
fighting, exceeded the most brilliant cam
paign Of the First Napoleon.
