The republican majority in 1868 was ovor fifteen thousand, and the republican candidate, D. P. Lowe, will undcubtedly be elected in spite of all diversions. The democratic convention at Buffalo, New York, yesterday nominated Wm. Williams for Congress by acclamation. The district is at Present represented by Hon. David S.

A correspondent of the London Tim :s, writing from Bouillon, Sept. 13th, say8:—Your corre dent with *he army of the Crown Prince, in Seecribiog the batile of Sedan, said that never before in the world’s history bad there been seen such a butchery as went on during that eat tight. I believe it may also be afirmed fhiat never did a contest a arms resultin such terrific consequences to che surviving « »mbat- ants and to “ie pc ple who:2 counicy has been made the svene of bo-iilities. For miles around Sedan one sees nothing but destruction and ruin; andfrom morr‘ng till far into the night proce sors of the maimed and wound: 1 a peesing fiom she French ionvier int) the tral territory ot Belgium. Sedan it-elt is one vast hospital, and t >tween that town and Bouil- lon, a distance of about ten English mites, there is searcely a church or a house from which the white flag with the red crocs is not now waving to make ki owa that there are wounded inside. ‘TRE FINAL STRUCGLE. But it was at Bazeflles the greatest havoc merked the final struggle between the Pi us- sians and McMehon's army. The Pros:ians set fire t> it. A haucsomer or more proxpsrous village there was ot in the northeast of France. It wassme'l, but it cont.ined an indvstrious population. Among the br‘idings were a mag- Ridcent chureh and trom twenty "> thirty houses of cor siderable pretensions for village residences—hovets of Caen stme, and haviag elaborate bronze gates ard doors. Bazeilles is now as complete a ruin as Pompeii. Indeed, there are houses at Pompeii in a better state ot preservation than any at Bazei'les. Not a roof ora floor remains in any one of them. The Prussian shells «lid their work so well that even the front walls of Caen stone have been blown and burnt to fragmen' hich now b'ock up the p ard but cover the roadway. Even in the lanes off the main street every habitation was utterly destroyed. No buman being could now tind sheiter in Bazeilles. When a troop of Prussian lancers rode through it yesterday po sound was heard there but the tramping of their own horses, and there was not a living soul, man, woman or child, of the bappy population who dwelt there little more than a week ago. The Pru:iaps fay they destroyed Bazeilles because the inbabitants had fred upon them from their houses. This is denied by the French, who say that the shots which came from houses were tired by the regular soldiers and the Garde Mobile. Be tole as it may, destraction wes never more complete than at Bazeilles. Thence to Balm, and also from La Chapelle to Balm, the country is a complete waste. Crop; and or- chards have disap} ed, and the farmhouses are riddied by bullets. Rifles and cannon toth pis ed their Lae at Balan, and thence on t> D lan, @ distance of about English mil ead horses abound ali along the route; Chas:e- ts lie about in hundreds, there are shakoe, Eoimets, and cuirasses in heaps, and knapacks certouche-bexes enough for a whole regiment.

REGISTRATION IN MARYLAND.—The number of registered colored voters in the several elec- tion districts of Frederick county is 1,711. The first congressional district is composed of the nine Eastern Shore counties. The number of colored voters registered is about as follow: Cecil, 922; Kent, 1,551; Queen Anne’s, 1 Talbot, (estimated,) 1,100; Caroline, (est mated,) 600; Someriet (esiimated,) 1,200; Dor- eT, 1,498; Wicomico, (estimated.)900; Wor- cester, (estimated,) 90)—total, 10,170. This isa veiy liberal ’ estimate of the ‘number of colored men registered. At the last congres- sional election Hamilton, democrat, received 11,290, and Torbert, republican, 4,321 votes. It should be added, however, that'several hun- dred white voters were registered in the district laet week, and that in Queen Anne’s county the reg stered whites of this and last year exceed those of the colored over 400 votes. ‘The total number of voters recently registered in Carroll county, as far es heard trom, is as follows:— Whites 293, colored 4°4—total 807.— Balt.
