GAMBETTA’S PROCLAMATION TO THE ARMY OF THE LOIRE, Minister Gambetta, in his proclamation to the army of the Lotre, congratulates the soldiers on their victories of the 9th and 10th. He says:—“Your courageous efforts recall victory to our cause, France owes her first ray of hope to you, and I offer you the public praise and gratitnde for your reward. Recovering strength with discipline, you have retaken Orleans, inaugurating a glorious offensive. You are on the road to Paris, which awaits you; our honor hangs on your loosening the grasp of these barbarians; redouble y ur constancy and ardor, and you will overcome your enemies superiority in cannon with French é/an and patrio- tic fury. So will the republic issue victorious from the struggle. GAMBETTA, ‘The condition of the army is satisfactery.

PRUSSIAN REPORT OF THE BATTLE. A telegram from Versailles, dated yesterday, states that General Von der Tann, on the 9th, repulsed all the enemy’s attacks with great loss to the assall- ants, Only then did the Germans retire.

VON DER TANN’S RETREAT ORDERLY—VON WERDER MOVING TO JOIN HIM, A Tours despatch to the London press, dated yes- terday, says:—‘‘Nothing further has been made known of the movements of the French army since tne recovery of Orleans and the occupation of One- wily. The German retreat on the 9th was in perfect order, The losses of the Germans since tho 7th amount to 10,000 men. General Werder is evidently moving to join Von der Tann.

GARIBALDI'S MOVEMENTS AND OPINIONS, A corregpondent, with Gartbaldi the 9th inst., writes from Verdun:—"Michael, with 5,000 men, is on the road. As we started I asked Garibalat if the movement to Autun was @ retreat. He replied, Certainly not, the Prussians being at Dijon, It remains to be seen whether They mean to go from thenve to Lyons or the cen- tre of France, Gambetta wishes to have us near him. Moreover we are nearly as far north as Dale. He sald further he thought the Prussians would oc- cupy the Department of the Jura. PREPARING TO RESIST THE PASSAGE OF THE SAONE, The French are preparing to resist the passage of the River Saéne by the Germans, Garibaldi and the French generals had agreed to a plan of opera- tions. THE GERMAN ARMY DYING OUT. A eareful condensation or reports received here by high medical authority in the British army from all the German armies now in France shows that the aggregate deaths of German soldiers averages 2,250 per day, which is due in a great degree to the bad sanitary arraugements and to neglect of the sick and wounded. The opinion in military circles in London 1s untversal that unless the Germans can end the war before January their final defeatis mevi- table. THE SINEWS OF WAR. The North German Parhament meets at Berlin on Monday week to raise means for carrying on the war. A loan is proposed, but its form has not yet been settled.

His words cause a pro- found sensation, The Archbisnop of Angers, ina circular letter to the Director of Seminaries, advises young clergy- men to seek service as cliaplains or nurses in the army, and all who have not taken orders to enlist, THE GERMANS CHARGED WITH PILLAGING. The Journal Ofictel charges that the Prussians pil- laged Villaneune three hours because the French woops had obstinately defended the place. They next levied enormous contributions, and the plundered inhabilants, unable t@ pay, some of them old men even, were dragged from their houses and beaten until theirneighbors surrendered thelr last sou to save their lives. Casks of wine were ‘Wantonly broken open and their contents poured on the ground, and the furnmtture in the houses was destroyed. Officers, quartered in pri- vate residences, robbed the people who lodged in them of thelr clothing, linen, watches, shoes and toilet articles, and even of women’s wearing apparel. Wherever they stopped they destreyed or soiled evervthing, A German artillery caisson, captured near Or- leans, was found to be filled with laces and silks, aud another contained clocks, vases and rich parlor ornaments, taken from the country seats around the city.

It is understood that Baron Von Buest, the Aus- trian Premier, is averse to a Congress of the Powers, GAMBETTA INTRIGUING FOR THE ORLEANISTS, La Situation has @ leader to-day in which tt says that the arrival of M. Schneider at London compels it to make public the fact that Gambetta is engaged in an intrigue for the restoration ef the Orleans dynasty. The scheme is for the late Corps Législa- tf to assemble at Tours and compel, by intimida- ton and pressure of circumstances, the ratifica- tion of all done since the 4th of September, and then imduce it to do away with the republic and accept the services of the Orleans Princes. A Ger- man princess 18 interested in the intrigue. Although Bismarck remains faithfut to the idea of the restora- tion of the empire the presence of M. Thiers at Tours and continued conferences between him and Gambetta give additional color to the report, EUGENIE’S MOTHER IN FRANCE. The Countess de Montijo, the mother of the Em- press, arrived at Rouen from England, travelling tncognito, and immediately left Rouen for the South. A BRITISH MISSION TO VERSAILLES. Odo Russells, Assistant Under Secretary of tne Foreign Office, left London for Versailles on a special mission from the British government. EVIDENCES OF THE POPULARITY OF THE REPUBLIC. In many parts of France the people of the com- munes are taking votes to endorse the vote of Paris in favor of the government of national defence, and the municipal autnorities are hastening to give their adhesion. The monarchical journals are bitcer in thelr semments on these evidences of the increas- ing popularity of the republic, AFFAIRS AT TOURS, Penceful Aspect—Toking Things Quictly— Street and Cafe Scencs—Patriotic Songs but Very Little Point=Siily Rumors and an Unreasoning Belief—Manicipal Warniag— Camp Life—Marching to the Front. Tours, Oct. 21, 1870, Any stranger visiting this city during the last three weeks must have been particularly struck with one thing, and that is the apparent apathy of its inhabi- tants, or rather to how small an extent they seem toxealigg tae nerllgns nogision tn wich phey and the whole of France now stand, I do not mean to say but what there ts a good deal of bustle and activity going on—bodies of Franos-tireurs and Gardes Mobiles dally march files of to thelr different destinations, and the drilling of recruits proceeds unflaggingly—but at the same ume there seems to be no realearnestness among the citizens as @ body. You meet groups of them singing (or I should rather say, howling) the “Marsellaise” and similar patriotic sungs about the streets and in the cafés. ‘They congregate together, quaff thelr absinthe or Petit verre and discuss the state of things in general, and the war in particular, just asif France were Not, 80 to speak, lying prostrate and bleeding and a Victorious Prussian army a few miles from the gates of their town, Any ramor of success, however vague and in- definite, appears to be received with a blind and uo- vhinking credulity which any one with ordinary reasoning powers would have imagined the expe- rience of the last two months should have taught them to restvain, In fact, like the Bourbons, tuey seem “to have learned nothing and to have forgol- ven nothing.’* MUNICIPAL REMINDER. This morning, however, the Mayor gave them a re- minder of how tings actually stood by issuing & proclamation to the effect that all public exmbitions and singing in che cafés aud streets are entirely out of keeping with the present misfortunes of France; that while the country ts in danger the sole wish aud thought of the citizens ought to be to defend it ana to expel the invader; in fact, that anything approach- ing to amusement 14 almost an insult to the public misfortunes. Such being the case he has ordered that there shall be no singing in the public streets or cafes; Unat no proprietor of any caté or cabaret shall supply anything to persons not actually Ne? and thatall cafs shall be punctually closed at eleven o'clock, ‘The Commissioners of Police have received instructions to see these orders rigidly enforced. ‘To endeavor at the same time to lust)! surething like discipline and order into the trocgs M. Gam- betta has publisued the following prosinmetion:— “In virtue of the powers delegated co me by the government by a decree dated at Paris, the 181 Octo- ber, 1870:— MILITARY LIFE, Censidering how important it 1s to accustom the soldier to che tatigues of a campaign, and to do away with the disorders which lesult from tnelr s0~ journ in cities, on every occasion when the eifective troops (whether reguiar or irregular) in a town shall exceed in number 2,000, ail that portion of thoge treops which shail not be necessary tor the maintenance or order and tranquility shail be massed together in a camp situated three kilometres or iess from a town; that the situation of the cainp shall be chosen in sach away as to offer the best means for defence, and that the cap shall be at once protected with earthworks and fortifications; that the troops in every case shall be occupied in the formation of the aforesaid works; that all com~ munication between the camp aud the town shall be prohipited, except for the linmeuiate exigencies of the service, or by leave of absence mm writing; that the officers shall stay in the cauip and live the suine kind of life as the soldiers; that each day @ fourth part of the oops tus encamped shall exe- cute marches, yarying irom tiventy to thirty kilo- metres; that the camp shall be organizea and guarded as if the enemy were close at band, and that the measures prescribed by the vrduance of tue ‘’d of May, 1832. shail be exactly carrted out,” This proclamation has not come before it was needed, 1 do not mean to say that the troops a8) = 6& «role —=6miscouduct = themselves, In fact, considering the large body of men who are stationed in Unis town, With arms in their Lands for the first time and unaccust.med to habits of discl- pline, their conduct has been excepuionally good, but itdid look out of keeping to see gangs of them lou. ing about from morning 10 night im and out of caics and cabarets when were was fighung going ou within a few leagues of them, and each bour might bring tidings that they must march out vo repel tue advance of the foe, ‘MARCHING ALONG”? About two o’clock a large body of Prancs-tireurs, of Mayence, passed through the rue Royale, but their destination 1 could not ascertain, and jater in tne day a portion ef the Garae Nauonale arrived with a hew rifle (the Remington) and attracted agreai deal of attention, About an hour atterward the air s to be alive with rumors; the rue Royale was crowded and the nent very great. Thu partly owing to the advent of sinail bodies of #rancs- ureurs from Chateaudun, who were suriounded by groups eagerly listening to their accounts ot the bat- Ue at that place, in which it seems they had taken a prominent and by no meuns undistinguished part. 1 do DOL Make this statementon the strengia of aby- thing I heard from the combatauis in question, be- ita modest men are for ought to be) dumb,’ but from all the Intelligence which { can glean from other tolerably reliab: sources the irregular troops appear on this occa- sion to have made @ better and more determtied siand than they have ever nitherto doue, Accordingly the” provisional government have issued @ decree that the town of Chaiecaudan “has deserved well of its country,” that a credit of 100,000 francs has been opened by the Minister of the Interior to assist the population of CuAteaudan tw repair the losses they have susiained in conse- quence of the brave resistance of the town against the Prussians on the 18th aay of October, 18 ITED AND HOMEWARD. About nine o'clock in the evening the excitement became greater than ever, and all kinds of rumors were afloat—taat Kouen and Metz had iallen; thata battle was imminent at Sologne, within cwelve leagues of Tours, and that the Mimsters were going to take their immediate departure for #ordeaax. ‘This state of things went on more or less until eleven o'clock, when, the cafés being closed, the streets gradually thinned and the crowd retired to their respective homes. WAR VICTIMS. Demented, yet Beautiful—Melancholy Conse- quences of Sedan—The Head on the Coin— Public Feeling in Rouen. ROUEN, Oct. 20, 1870, Isaw a melancholy sight here last evening. Iwas sitting by my window in the gathering twilight, won- dering how many more evenings I should have there in qylet when I heard astrange, wild laugh in tue street below. Iopened my window and saw a little crowd gathered around a young girl who was throw- ing her arms about and gesticulating wildly. It was her laugh I had heard. The beautiful black hair hung down in disorder, and as sne looked around with bewildered, flashing eyes, I thought of Ophelia. To some people who asked where she lived she answered, ‘J’habtte le champ de batatlle, Ah ne me plaignez pas; je suis bien heureuse.” She then passed on, resisting vehemently some who tried tg restrain her. A man, who seemed to know her, sald that ber two brothers were killed at Se- dan, and the news coming suddenly had driven her quite mad. She had wandered away from home and roamed about like this ever since. ‘Tne Ee thing seemed to have no friends to take care of r. BAD MONEY. I do not know If it 1s in consequence of the war or whether it is the Emperor's fault (inost thivgs seem to be the Emperor's fault nowadays), but there is a great deal of bad money about. Some ingenious, but misguided mind, appears to have devoted itseif to the fashioning of flve-iranc pieces made of aiumi- num, which must have obtained an alarmingly ex- tensive circulation, I have taken three this week myself, and don’t mean to take any more if ican helpit. You may know them, | am told, because the Emperor’s head is turned the wrong way; but when I look at them I always forget whicn is the right way. It seems strange still, by the by, to have still his mustached visage on the coin when he has vanished from the country for good, 1 suppose whea there 18 breathing time we shall have some republican coin again, France hav- ing discovered that Napoleon LI. 1s not the “man for her money,” after all. THE CITY. There is nothing visibly stirring here but Guards, and the position of the place is still on the watch. We are told on all sides that ‘nous venons a Rowen” ‘Was the observation of the Prussians at Gisors, Gour- nay, &c.. but all we know is that they have not “venus” just yet. When they come something very mysterious 1s to be done to astonish them, bat whit that is 1 cannot reveal. I might be nypocritical and tell you that I was not at liberty to mention it, but 1 will be candid enotgh to own that I do not know it myself. Only there 1s & mystertous “it” somewhere on the tapis, and the Maire swells with the impor- tance of it, 80 that I believe he will soon be able to float in the air without a balloon. T think people’s minds are caimer than they were, but a gloom hangs over every little act of private life, and we are all more or Jess suifering with Prus- sians on the brafh. For the present I see them nowhere else, and [ wiil not trouble you with our imaginary foes, but will go out myself into the dis- mal streets and see about posting this for you.

Lonpon, Oct. 29, 1870, In my last letter [referred to the Audacious, Van- guard and Invincible, the three new iron-clads Just commissioned, being sent to sea before they had undergone a ballast test of their stabluty, Publite indignation has not been able to be sup- pressed in the case of these ships, and the English dally journals are taking up the question, which, I sincerely trust, may have the desired effect upon the authorities to institute @ rigia inquiry as to thelr eMciency im all respects. One of the three went outside the breakwater at Ply- mouth on Wednesday, and her “‘sensitiveness” was alarming to all on board, With a slight breeze, say with @ force from four to five on the broadside, these vessels will heel while at anchor from four to six degrees. ‘They are to all appearances re- markably fine ships, and fitted up with every de- gree of comfort, so far as 1s compatible with the ex- igenctes of @ British ivon-claa, Nevertheless they have not the stabilliy which is necessary for ships 80 Much ‘top-hampered.” Again, their bottoms are like the sides of casks, perfectly round, aud I need hardly tell your readers that a round bottom has no hold in the water; therefore, this 1s another and further reason why every precaution should be taken before they come in contact with actual ser- vice in the Channel or on coast guard. ‘The United States frigate Franklin, with the flag of Rear Admiral Glisson, arrived in Plymouth Sound, at nine o'clock on.Thursday morning from Ports- mouth, and exchanged salutes with the citadel and the Adumral Commanding-in-Chief, Sir Henry Cod- rington. Several of the oficers of the Frankuin have paid a visit to this “trio” of costly iron-clads, and I would venture to assert that their impression to a man is the same as mine—that all three of the ships are de- ficient in their stability and are too much tap-ham- pered, although to the eye they are beautiful looking Vessels, 1 understand that the franklin will not re- main long in Plymouth Sound, but will sail for the ‘Vagus, Where, no doubt, she will again meet some of the vessels of tie Ouannei squadron Which she has just leit behind at Portsmouth, as L am informed thy will proceed to Lisvon during the ensuing mouth. it is pretty certain that the British squadron uuder Adintial Weilesiey will not tis year remain at Lisbon during the Christmas holidays.

If this is the case —and 1 have no reason to doubt it, as L have heard it from a very old friend of mine on board—it appears to me Surprising that the Admi- rally do Not take some iminediate step to relieve her, as it 18 quite impossible for them to be tguorant ot the state of things on oara their ships when such Voluminous reports are perioiicaily made by tne onicers on board concerning ail matiers ior tue in- formation of the Lords Commiss.oners, ACCIDENTS.

FLYING SQUADRON. Admiral Hornby’s flying squadron may any day arrive atone of our ports, and if is to be hoped it will make ifs appearance before the departure of the Channel squadron, so that the combined feet of the Channel, a portion of the Mediterranean (which is now ip Engiand refitting) and Hornby’s may be ex- ercised in feet evolutions before the latter is paid om, EUROPEAN MARKET.

Howard on Christia® Manliness—Drioking aud Swearing Severely Reproved. The hall of the assoclation was filled last evening by a large congregation, who Msetened with much attention to the address of Major General 0. 0, Howara on the subject of ‘Christian Manliness,” After an impressive prayer by Mr. Dodge, President or the association, General Howard discoursed as foliows:—I am called upon to speak on “Christian Manliness,” or that it is manly to be a ‘istian. In Philadeiphia there was a young man of fine pergonal appearance and excellent qualifications, He was @ member of the Episcopal Church, and ne preached many elo- qnent sermons. One day a sad misfortune befell him. He was feeding some wheat into a threshing machine; his sleeve was caugit by the wheel and ‘m entirely destroyed. He was borne to his home; he grew weaker and weaker, and finally he was dying; his famliy gathered about his bed; he turned to his old father, and his last words were stand up for Jesus.” THAT LITLE SERMON HE PREACHED at his death, and wherever the name of Christ is ute tered you'll find that little motto, This sermon has been preached to multitudes with more effect than any other, aud these words, or rather acting them out, constitutes the real Christian manliness, In the first place It Is necessary that we should for- mally enlist in Christ's service. You remember our late struggle and how our country was in danger. How maby came forth, volunteering readily for the cause of their country, but how few returned ! That Was one class. re were others who hesitated; they loved their country, but were not ready to make sacrifices—they did not volun- teer. Again, there was another class, who did not care = Which = army ~—_—conqnered, and almost openly encouraged the enemy. Its thus in Christian service; you will find some who bear the arms of Christ and are loyal to His -tandard, There is another ciass of people who count the costs—viz., the habits that must be given up; it may be drinking, gambling or profanity. At any rate, there 13 SOMETHING THAT KEEPS THEM BACK, Such young men wiil say, 1 would hke to be a Chliristian; but they cannot part with their bad nabits or associations, There is the tnird class of young mucn, Whe are utterly indifferent; they do not know whether the Lord Jesus is the King or Satan is the king. Their lives are a sort of neutrality, Aud yet how you did cheer those men who thronged our strects, arching on to take the front to fignt tor their country, and how you sympathize wita those who fight for any cause which they belleve to be a righteous one! It was the same in the Sgnth, where they believed In Une strange doctrine 6f State su- vis the same now im Germany, and in ej and thus isin Chrisv’s service: but His is more important than the cause of the rol any government on the face of It is necessary to be ce in order vo be revognized. There were in the war wuo would rather not have any and they were generally found pillaging or soldier wanted to be iden- ¢ isan inclination on art of young men to retire in the background Christian work is to be done; they are mem- bers of the Chureh, bat they do nothing; they have not really enlisted In Chrisi’s service—it is a sort of MILK-AND-WATER PROFESSION on their part. People have strange ideas about when they are youn: On the sidewaix ning | meta group of nor Young. men; they had probably been drinking, Now, let another young man get inte that group and associate with themand in a shoré thme he will yield to what ? think is maniy, viz.—drinking and Swéartng. They are utterly deceived as to what coustirutes Christian maniiness, Our Lord Jesus was everything that was inanly and noble, and it He were to stand before you now you would see on His brow the dignity of & Webster, and no man ever equaited His eloquence, and yet how many deny Him? There is a great reward in standing up tor Jesus, and we cannot be saved by any other name. It 1s not necessary to FLING A TEXT OF SCRIPTURE into everybody's face, but Pl wear no other than a Christan uniform, and show my faith by word and deed. ‘The true expression of a Christian character Is joy. He rejoices alike amid good fortane and amid tribulations. Ihave always felt that the vei epitome of mantiness is to stand up for the Jesus as long as you live. The speaker concluded with a prayer, and, after the singipg of @ hymn, th¢ conuremalon dispersed,
