What are the chances of peace? With o hostile army of balf « million of men in the heart of France, and with « French army io the Geld of two or three hundred thoussad men, constantly increasing in strength, the time has hardly come when eftber party coo be hopefully approached in behalf of peace. We have the intelligence from Paris that the Ambassadors from Russia, Austria aed Maly, in reply to their offers to the Fresch govern- ment to negotiate for peace, have been officially Prussians expect no peace short of the presence of their army ia front of Paris; that then they expect a French revolution which will result in the displacement of the present French authorities, when a peace may be easily guaranteed; thet the war will be pur- poseless if these objects are aot gained; thet the German army demands aod must bave material guarantees for peace before this war can cease; that this army has lost many precious lives, but that ite surviving soldiers will prefer to lose their own rather than leave o legacy of a half-way peace with France, which may result in the slaughter of their children. Looking to peace, thon, the French condi- tion precedeut is the removal of the Prussian army, to the last soldier, from the soil of France. No man expects that this removal will be voluntarily made by Prussia in order to clear the field for peace negotiations. The meaning of this condition, then, is ‘‘the last diich”—that France will listen to no terms of peace until she has turned back this Prussian tide of invasion and driven the last armed enemy from her soil. Upon this proposition — the humbug of passion—the prospect of the termination of the war at an early day is any- thing but encouraging. The Prussian ultima- tum is more to the purpose. In a few words it means that this war on the part of the Ger- | man Confederation, North and South, is not | against France, but against the Bonapartes, and that short of their removal from the French government there cau be no peace ; that the object of the war on the part of the German coalition is the displacement of the Napoleonic empire and dynasty as the firet essential looking to peace; that France under the imperial rule of the Bonapartes has been and is a disturber of the public peace, and The Late War News. ‘The despatohes published this morning over- throw all the flae hopes for the French based 3 F iF Ect seem probable that so good a soldier to do so.

The report that the Prussian armies had been reiaforced Las not been denied or con- firmed, bat we must conclude, if we are to believe all the despatches, that it istrue. It is probable, therefore, thet the three Prussian columns, rested aad reinvigorated, will soon resawe their march towards the gay capital of France, with only the brave MacMabon and his army and the fortifications about the city to resis, them. The Health ef the City, The report of City Sanitary Inspector Mor- ria, which was read at the last rggular session ot the Board of Health, chronicles four cases of smallpox and thirty-nine cases of relapsing fever during the week ending Saturday, the 20th inst. No cases of smallpox have been that these disturbing elements must be removed. The Prussians, looking to this settlement, count upon a revolution in Paris with the approach of their army which will open the door to peace; and it is evident that short of their appearance in front of the Frenoh capital they do not expect the displacement of Napo- leon, It is apparent, too, that Napoleon, and ull directly interested in maintaining his gov- ernment, are working as desperately to check and turn back the Prussians from Paris as if fully satisfied that the prosence of the German army in the suburbs will be the signal for a general revolutionary rising in the city and the proclamation of the republic, Indeed, we apprehead that if it were perfectly safe for Napoleon to be now in Paris he would be there, directing in person the general move- ments of reinforcements to MacMahon and Bezaine, the préparations for the defence of the capital, the proceedings of his Senate and Corps Législatif, the discussions of his Cabinet and the conferences of his Prime Minister with the diplomatic representatives from the great neutral Powers. Has the nephew forgotten that the uncle in 1814, after his splendid retreat through France, fighting the enemy regardless of num- bers every foot of the way and gaining several very promising victories, approached Paris only to find that by his subordinates therein he had been betrayed? No. Napoleon the Third has not forgotten this collapse of the empire under Napoleon the First, and if the Emperor is not now in Paris it is because he knows that while Paris is revolutionary the loyalty of his army in the field is not to be His plan that Paris has resolved to do without him. But will the Emperor be again master of Paris if driven inside its circle of fortifications with his army? With their approach to the capital from a new government for France, too, we infer, is the latest Napoleonic idea, The opinion seems to be entertained in London that a decisive French victory would produce the Prussians count upon peaco This, the War—A Fascinating Female—Advertise- ments. 12—Advertisements. Peter Bismarck SweENy has ended gather abruptly his visit to Europe. Was his return hastened by the Tilden movement for ‘an extra session of the L>gislature ? Waar Mave tHe Prussians DespERate.— ‘Tt is said that the French soldiers, when they ‘entered Saarbriicken, broke open the breweries _. and smashed in the heads of casks of lager tbeer. Tho Germans could not stand that, you ‘know. To retaliate, when the Prussian army ‘reaches Rheims, they will make sad havoc ‘among the bottles of champagne. Aworner Mopest Pourrician.—Aaron Fy ‘Perry declines to allow his name to be used ‘before the coming Republican Convention in “the Ohio First district. The mania for decli- ‘nation seems to be very general this season among republican Congressmen in the West. “The ultra protectionists do not seem +0 like ‘the way the tariff cat is jamping among the “Western people. That's what's the matter with War Tuy Deouine.—The Cincinnati Com- smercial—republican in sentiment—avers it to ‘be true that the ‘present republican majority fn Congress is directly responsible for the t of the odious burdens upon the which the highest tariff ever known to sagt entails, That is probably the reason why so many republicans decline to gun the gauntlet of another election. The : people are growing sick and tired of England high vrotection and intolerance. a financial panic, as an event foreshadowing a long, widespread and disastrous European war. We think it more likely that a decisive French victory, as at Solferino, would incline Napoleon to a treaty of peace to save his empire, though we think a French revolution would follow. If the Prussians, however, will have nothing less than the expulsion of the Bonapartes, and if Paris will listen to no terms short of the ‘‘last ditch,” or the expul- sion of the Prussians from France, the peace- makers must await the issue at least of another bloody meeting of the opposing armies, which will probably settle the question. WENDELL's WeakNESSs.—We had been led to believe by many utterances of Wendell Phillips that he was a man without weaknesses— that he was superior not only to all human sympathy, but to-all the ordinary motives of human conduct. He has stood soon princi- ple, and assailed with such superior spirit all who bargained principle away for this, that or the other reason that we thought he was himself a pure and noble compound of virtue, mathematics and vituperation. But now we hear that even he can modify principle a little; for here he stands on a straight-out prohibition platform and thinks he will not rua lest he may defeat Claflin. Is Claflin, then, better than all the virtues of temperance? “Tug Taner!” “Tue Tarr!” is the burden of most of the electioneering speakers thus far in the West. The Eastern capitalists will have to send some very heavy “arguments” into some parts of the West tokeep the West- ernecs squad on the high tariff question, 4 reported since the 18th. There were eighteen cases more of relapsing fever than during the previous week. Those reported occurred in nineteen different houses and sixteen different streets, Inspector Morris very properly insists ou the necessity of an early diagnosis and full report by the medical attendant, and the immediate removal of the patient. Much suf- fering would thus be avoided, and the diseaso would be the sooner eradicated. The Inspec- tor says that the evidence of the increase of typhus and typhoid fevers following, as a rale, in other countries the subsidence of relapsing fever, is now becoming manifest here, Although, from the persistent neglect of physi- cians in reporting these and other contagious diseases, it is impossible to obtain reliable data of the actual number occurring in this city, yet from a comparison of the death cer- tificates received at the Bureau of Record with the number reported to the Bureau of Sani- tary Inspection it must be inferred that ‘‘more than double the number occur, of which we receive no report.” While the small number of cases made known, either by reports or by deaths, in proportion to our immense popula- tion, gives encouraging indications of an unu- sually healthy condition of the city, yet this favorable condition can only be maintained by untiring, ceaseless vigilance in cleansing, purifying and removing those filthy accumula- tions which, generate poison indooys and out and make the atmosphere a swift vehicle for contagious diseases. Tug Work of removing the rocks at Hell Gate is going on bravely at the rate of sixty explosions a day; but we would urge General Newton to have his men be more careful of their own lives and of the lives of people living in that vicinity. Frequently some of the men are injured by the explosions, and the build- ings inthe neighborhood are endangered by the falling fragments. Srorrtrary Sewarp is at San Francisco, much prostrated, being almost unable to get out of the cars. Heaven keep the grand old statesman through the long journey that he has undertaken, He has escaped the assas- sin’s knife and survived long years of arduous labor for his country, and when he dies at last we hope it will be within the limits of that country and in his own homestead. Tuat Orrat NvuisaNog.—The worst inflic- tion ever visited on the residents on the shores of the bay and upon the many thousands who daily sail across it, is this flagrant outrage of unburied horses whose putrifying carcasses poison the air for miles. During all the months of the summer complaint has been heard on the subject, but nothing wae done, Now that atime is coming when the: evil is more endurable, our tardy rulers have discovered that this dumping of dead animals is a crime. Well, will they punish it with such rigor that the remembrance may last till next summer? Ergotrio Licuts. rok Dxvensive Por- posEs.—The proposal of that sprightly journal, Figaro, in favor of placing electric lights on the Paris fortifications, has met with general commendation. Some time ago the French Navy Department made at Cherbourg, with considerable success, a series of experiments with these electric lights. They must be far more efficacious than calcium lights, which were, however, found not altogether useless at Vicksburg by the Confederates on the lookout for the federal feet. Military authorities think that Figaro's idea is a good one, inasmuch as the dazzle of the electric lights will perplex the besiegers and aid the besieged. Whether the lights can be made to operate in the day- time as well as at night, producing with greater intensity the blinding, bewildering effect of bits of looking-glass held up against the sun, remains to be seon. It is likely that they will prove more serviceable for defensive purposes than the balloons, which the Germans are sald to be using, and which we experi-, mented with during out late civil war. a i li Yah liad, Ai Maat MINA a UN ct el ag tt eh 6 od AE it Ae iti ui Keine af Bo al a he cM at Sa NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1870—TRIPLE SHEET. Sige Alpine Rammer Pleaserce in America. Oar Hpceest Winters of Coal Monepolists at Their Old Game. The following delectable piece of informa- tion comes to us through the Pottsville (Pa.) Miners! Journal :— Frow « private letter recelved here trom New York we learo that the prices of the Pennsylvania Goal Cornpany for September have been advanced thirty cvuts per ton over the prices for August. When it is understood that this intelligence comes from an organ of the Pennsylvania coal monopolists proper weight will be placed upon it. But taken in conneotion with the following paragraph, which appears in the same column of the same paper, itis plain that the whole scheme is simply an excuse to raise the price of coal :— Weanesday of next week, August 31. It is in this way the bulls in the coal market Prepare the way for a rise in the price of the article,and compel consumers to submit to the advance. Now, it is well krown that there is noreal necessity or excuse for this advance, except to gratify the avarice of the coal operators and monopolists, The fact that there was already a large stock on hand at places of shipment prior to the resumption of work by the striking miners is sufficient to disprove that the enhanced price is warranted by alack of supply. On the contrary, the various wholesale coal marts have been overstocked all summer; so much 60 that it has been difficult to obtain transporta- tion to Eastern markets, and now that all the mines are again doing full work, with several months to spare before navigation closes, it is apparent that the whole plotfor bulling up prices is but a narrow and sordid one, The advancement in the price of coal at the mines is always taken advantage of by the local retailers to pinch the poor consumers. For instance: if the price is advanced by the com- panies thirty cents per ton the retailer improves on this at the rate of fifty or a hun- dred per cent, and thus the poor become even- tually the greatest sufferers. Tax Quarantine War.—Health Officer Car- nochan and his deputy were arrested yester- day on the complaint of the Messrs. Pender- grast, charging them with the illegal seizure of the berk Wavelet, and laying damages at ten thousand dollars. This bark Wavelet is the one which evaded quarantine by conniv- ance with the health authorities of Perth Amboy, and came into Brooklyn from Rio Janeiro—a yellow fever port—atill infested, to spread the disease throughout Brooklyn and New York, rather than have the Messrs. Pen- dergrast lose a few dollars by the delay of quarantine, Dr, Cornochan had the bark cut out from the “dock where she was unloading and carried back to Quarantine, where she was disinfected in the course of time. For this delay and the act of seizure the complainants now demand ten thousand dollars. In one sense it is fortunate that the case is to be brought before the courts, for some end must be made to this dangerous conflict, by which the health and lives of our citizens, including the Messrs, Pendergrast, are threatened ; but on the other hand it is most incredible assurance on the part of the complainants to demand damages when they should have been thankful to escape some severe punishment for their temerity in evading the quarantine lawa, Farure ov tag Water Sorrry at New Haven.—We are sorry to hear of this failure from the long drought, but are gratified to learn that the city has a good reserve of lager becr. Tag Peace Man ror War.—Another of the beautiful consistencies of the great Ameri- can philosopher whose name is associated with the history of vegetable diet, free love, free murder, cold water, deep ploughing, uni- versal peace and a protective tariff, is before us. He will not hear of peace between Prussia and France. He is all bloody-minded and all for war. His heart, that is so appalled at the blood of animals that he will rather live on green apples than have mutton or vegl at the price of the life of a fellow creature, feels no thrill of horror at the death of twenty thousand fine fellows from Germany and France. A Brwtuant Tuixe is Srreer Lamps. — If anybody supposes that the city will be any lighter oa account of the million dollars that the Aldermen propose to spend on gas burn- ers he isa novice as tothe way things are done in this metropolis. This street lamp improvement is simply one more pretext for putting the public money of the city into the private pockets of the Aldermen, and it shows us very plainly that the plan of electing Aldermen ona general ticket is no improve- ment, It leaves us the same men and the same vices. How ridiculous it is to talk of thus im- proving our street lamps at this enormous expense, while the lamps are already very good, while there are many things that imper- atively need to be done which a million dollars would do! Waar Taxy Taiwx is Mapriv.—In Madrid they have still in mind the great subject of the candidacy for the Spanish throne, and mumble the name of Hohenzollern. They seem to fancy, indeed, that this great war is waged on that point; that Prussia is fighting that the Prince may be a candidate, and France fight- ing that he may not; and as the general appearance is that Prussia may win, Prim stands ready with a proposition for a plebisci- tum to carry the Prince in with the popular voice. ei a Tux Barrie of Worrrs.—The battle of Woerth was a victory to the Prussians re- sewbling Grant's victory over Bragg at Chatianooge. According to the Herarn's correspoadent on the ground the losses in killed and wounded on each side were ten thousand men, the Prussians, the attacking party, losing most heavily. But while the Prassians, in prisoners, lost only some two hundred men, the French lost ten thousand, including one bondred officers. The Prussians lost no guns or stores, while the French lost six mitrailleuses, twenty-five cannon, four handred thousand francs in treasure, all their baggage, tents, &o., agl all their stores and four eagles, the pride of the French imperial army. This battle, thon, may be ranked with Chattanooga; for, while Chattanooga opened the way for Sherman's march to the sea, Woerth to the Prussiana opened the war into the heart of Franca Ono of tho most delightful as well as wont! healthfal methods of diversifying travel, ig regions where the roads and paths are ticable, is to take up staf und knapsack literally foot it across hill and dale, With young people in Europe this has become the favorite style of visiting historical Iake qd mountain districts noted also for their turesque charms. In Switzerland it has been the custom at some celebrated for boys established at Geneva, Zurich, )Lau- sanne, &c., to summon the young Togues together in the autumn of every year, and decide in council upon some grand pedestrian tour among the Alps. Tipffer's ‘‘Zigaag Journeyings,” published regularly / some time go, with abundance of spirited fllustration, and in the French and German lagguages, was 8 faithful narrative of these joyous academical exoursions, which took a fresh/ direction each summer, and were rich, not oly in delightful exercise and pleasant adventure, bat in scholarly trophies collected by the wayside. Let any one imagine the merry assemblage of these youthful olaas, on bright summer dawn, among the Alps—+their lithe forms, sparkling eyos, ruddy fa and abounding mirth. See them set ——e gay knapsacks over their shoulders and furled alpenstock in hand, and go winding gway up among the pines and glaciers, whild ever and anon, as they emerge again frou behind forest thicket or rocky steep, in agcending the ‘‘wolken- steig’—the cloud path—of the mountains, you hear them muysically chorusing some martial ditty or gome pleasant song of home. Then the rapture of the exercise; the freshness of the new upper atmosphere; the balsamic odors of the woods and wild flowers; the song of birds, varied not unfrequent!y by the howl of the storm wind and the crash of falling avalanches, when from crag to crag “leaps the live thunder ;” the enchantment of the young mind as scene after scene of sublimity and beauty, euhanced by legends of an old renown, are disclosed ; the salutary adoration of Him who made such wonders and sits supreme auvid them, and the love that is en- gendered for a land so charming yet so ma- jestic. What higher, purer tuition than this | could be jmparted to growing manhood? For physical enjoyment the keen mountain ; appetite, the delicious, unbroken slumber far up among the snowy summits, or down by the margin of gelid lakes, when the long day's walk and the evening bath and meal are over—who that has felt these pure delights, intellectual and material, cau ever forgot them? In Germany the trade guilds, with wise foresight, require that the apprentice shall make his “‘wander-jahren,” or wandering term { of years—that is to say, be in very deed and not merely in name a *‘journeyman”—ere he tan receive the honors of a master workman. And the sturdy fellows sally forth on foot and work their way, singing like happy larks as they go from town to town. Many of them thus have traversed all Germany over with “pilgrim’s scrip and sandal shoon” ere they settle down to their fixed calling. And what intense love and deep admiration they thus acquite for the glorious old Fatherland! No wonder that, irrespective of locality, creed or special tradition, they, one and all, rijish to the rescue when the ‘‘alma mater” they have thus learned to venerate is assailed by the stranger. And now, why should not the example be a most attractive hint to the youth of our own country in this their magnificent home in the West? If we have not, to add a mystic charm to our landscape, the gray renown of Old World regions—the classic and chivalric asso- ciations of the Alps, the Apennines and the Pyrene 2s—we have, at different places in our mighty domain, all their soft beauty, all their grand sublimity. Among the sparkling rivers and laxes of Maine, of Iowa and Minnesota, there are landscape gems of contour, color and locality as enchanting as anything that even Killarney, Loch Lomond, Constance or Como can boast. What cataract so grand as Niagara? What bluffs and peaks more stu- pendously beautiful than the ice and silver pin- nacles of Colorado—the American Tyrol ? But the pomp of our forests in autumn, when the glowing gardens of the ‘Sunset City” seem literally to mingle the gold and ruby of their foliage with the ethereal sheen of the Indian summer sky! Neither the south of France, nor Spanish Granada, nor the Campagna Felice of Southern Italy, . with Vesuvius gleaming beyond it, are comparable to the enchantments that the artistic eye may revel in among the Alleghanies of Pennsyl- vania or in the Shenandoah Valley of the Old Dominion State. But where we mention one we might adduce a thousand localities that offer endless variety of scene, softly beautiful or majestically grand, to the American pe- destrian at home. Come, boys, you are now in full vacation. Let us see what hearty lad or gallant little school or company will make the bravest trip this season among the Northern and the West- ern hills, traverse rationally the greatest tale of miles, and bring back to enrich closet, library and college room the rarest collection of relics, sketches and pleasant scraps of innocent ad- venture. As on the ocean billow, so om the river, the lake, the prairie and the mountain top. Why should young feet be idle? We have Switzerland and Italy and “‘the fair land of France” here at home. Why shall nota host of the youthful armies of peace “make history” for them, not in blood and misery, but with the battle cry of innocent emulation in manly achievement and with the weapons of useful science ?

The Danes beheld the French tri-color in the Baltic with joy. These patriotic Northmen don’t care for Bonaparte, but they admire and respect the French people. Schleswig has been paaperized, outraged, it is alleged, | by Prussian officials, and Denmark hopes for redress and consolidation from French influ- ence. One of our writers says, indeed, that the Prince of Wales and the Grand Duke Alexander of Russia both sympathize with France, as the sons-in-law of the King of Denmark. England was putting forth her huge naval force, making ready for eventualities, securing her insular home. Rome sup- plied material for the very interesting letter which is furnished by our writer in the Holy City. A time-honored centre like Copenhagen, Rome enables the Pontiff to look into the political kaleidoscope of outside Europe ; to rearrange, to adjust, to dissolve, and again anticipate the future in a shape likely to be pleasing to herself, and useful, it may be, to the cause of law and order and legitimate goverument. A main cause of the friendship of Pio Nono for King William of Prussia, is attributed to the fact that hls Majeaty was the Gra} sovereiga who gongratu- lated his Holinedi on the tric ph of the Papal troops over the Garribaldians at Mentana. Suz special written exhibit trom Europe speaks thus of War, of the political situation, of cabinet diplomacy, of democracy and religion, of those who make war and of those who “cry peace” when ‘“‘there is no peace.” The American public will analyze the result of our” special effort; the American people will ‘tread and leara,” The Fiuancial Probabiiities of the War It is said in London that news of a French victory at present would cause a panic in the stock market there, The stock and money market is the most sensitive barometer of events and the drift of public sentiment on qnestions of a disturbing character. We should see, probably, a similar effect, though not to the extent of a panic, produced in Wall street as in London should there be a French victory. Apart from the sympathy that exists between the two great flaancial centres of New York and London, the same cause would operate here as there. A French victory—that is, a really great success in the war—would have a very disturbing effect throughout Europe, which would bear upon the market value of gold and stocks in this country. Each success of Prussia has had the contrary effect. Stocks have gone up abroad and gold has gone down in New York. It is natural to infer, then, that stocks would go down in London and gold up here with a French victory. Why? Because, as was said, of the apprehension of a pro- longed war and general disturbance. This might or might not be the result of French victory; still it is evident this is the impres- sion made upon that sensitive barometer the money and stock markets of the world. Ger- many is fighting to secure guarantees of peace, and when they are obtained she will, we have no doubt, cheerfully lay down her arms, Should France gain a victory at present she would probably endeavor to avenge the invasion of her soil and disasters of the war by invading Germany. This would not only prolong the war, but might involve Europe generally in the terrible conflict. This, wa suppose, isthe meaning of the telegram from London and the reason of the fluctuations in stocks and gold. “Arrer NapoLgoN—Waat ?” asks the Chi- cago Tribune.
