The whole hill, for a quarter of an hour, was literally covered with Frenchmen running rapidly. In less than half an hour after, at 12:50, General Von Roon called our attention to another French column in full retreat to the right of Sedan, on the road leading from iia zeillcs to La Givonne wood, and thevJ never halted until they got to a small red roofed house on the outskirts of Sedan itself. Almost at the same moment General Sheridan, who was using mv opera glass, asked me to look at the third French col umn that was moving up a broad cross road through La Givonne wood, immedi ately above Sedan, doubtless to supi>ort the Iroops defending the important Iia zeilles ravine to the nortl.. of that town. At one o’clock the French batter ies on the edge of the woods towards Tor cy, and above it, opened a vigorous lire on the advancing Prussian columns of the third corps, whose evident intention was to storm the hill northwest of La Givonne and so gain the key of the jiosition on that side of the lino. At 1:15 o'clock yet an other French battery near the wood open ed on the Prussian columns, which were compelled to keep shifting their ground until ready for their final rush at the hill, in order to avoid offering so good a mark to the French shells. Shortly afterwards, we saw the first j Prussian skirmishers on the crest of La Givonne hills, above Torcy. They did j not seem in strength, and General Sheri dan, who was standing behind me, ex claimed, “Ah the beggars are too weak; they can never hold that position against all those French generals.’’ The prophesv soon proved correct, for the French ad vanced, at least six to one, and the Prus sians were forced to retreat down the hill to seek re-enforcements from the columns mil I 111" l Ilf 11 MippUJl. Ill u» tr mill j utes they came back again, tliis linn* in greater force, but they were still terribly j inferior to tiie huge French masses, "(rood heavens, the French cuirassiers are going to charge them,-' cried General Sheridan, and >urc enough, a regiment of cuirassiers, with their helmets and breast-plates (lashing in the September sun, form in sections of squadrons and dash down on the Prussian skirmishers without deigning- to form in line. The squares, never before used by the j Prussian infantry, received (he cuirassiers with a crushing quick lire at about one hundred yards distance, loading and fir ing with exteme rapidity and unfailing precision into the dense French squadrons. The effect was startling, over went the horses and men in numbers, in masses and in hundreds, and the regiment of the proud French cuirassiers went back hor ridly in disorder. They went back faster than they came. They went back scarce ly a regiment in strength, and not at all a regiment in form. Its comely array was suddenly turned into a shapeless mass and a helpless crowd of living men. The moment the cuirassiers turned back, the brave Prussians actually dashed forward in hot pursuit at double-quick, the infan try plainly pursuing the flying cavalry. Such a thing has not often been recorded in the annals of war. 1 know not of an example to compare precisely with this. There was no more striking episode in the battle. When the French infantry saw their cavalry thus fleeing before loot sol diers, they in their turn came forward and attacked the Prussians. The Prus sians wailed quietly and patiently, endur ing a rapid and telling lire from Cliasse pots, until their enemies had drawn so near as to be within a hundred yards from them, then they returned with the needle gun the rapid fire from the ehassepots, and the French infantry could no more endure the Prussian fire than the cavalry to whose rescue they Inal come. The infantry tied in its turn and followed the cavalry to the place whence they came, lhat is behind a ridge some five hundred yards on the way to Sedan, where the Prussians with their teasing lire could no Iv'Ugci reacn them. The great object of the Prussians was gained, since they were not driven from the crest of the hill they fought to hold. Holding it thus against cavalry the Prus sians persuaded themselves that it was possible to establish artillery on this hill. "There will be a d—1 of a fight for that crest before it is won or lost,” said Gen eral Sheridao, straining his eyes through his Held glass at the hill, which was not three miles from where wc stood, with the sun full shining on it from behind us. At half-past one the French cavalry made another dash at the Prussians, who, on their part, met with the same fate as their brethren in the iron jacket, and were i sent with heavy loss to the right-about. The Prussians took advantage ot their flight to advance their line a couple ot hun dred yards nearer the Hue which the French infantry held. These adventurous Prussians split into two bodies. The two bodies having a i break ol a hundred yards in their line, w e 1 were not long in seeing the object of this movement, for in a little while, puffs from the crest behind the skirmishers, followed by a commotion in the dense French mass es. showed iis that the Prussians have con trived, heavens only knows how, to get a couple of four-pounders up Urn steep ground, and have opened ou the French. Something must have been very wrong with the French infantry, for instead ol attacking the Prussians, whom they still outnumbered by at least two to one, they remained in a column on the hill, seeing their only hope of retrieving the dav van ishing before their eyes; still they did not stir. Then the French cavalry H ied to do a little liulaklava business, but without the success .ot the immortal six hundred, i Down came the cuirassiers once more, I this time riding straight tor the two field pieces, but before they h;ul got within 200 yards of the guns the Prussians formed a line as if on parade, ami waiting until that furious French horse had ridden on to a point not fifty yards away, they tired. The fire seemed to us to empty the sad dles of almost the whole or the leading squadron. The dead so strewed the ground as to block the path of the follows ing squadron and dose before them the dangerous road they maent to follow. When once this last effort of the French horse had been made and (ailed—failed, though pushed gallantly as tar as men and horses could go—the French infantry also tell swiftly back toward Sedan. It fell back because it saw that its chance of car rying that fiercely contested hill was gone, and saw that, wall the Prussians holding the honor of crowning it with guns of tl.eit- own, the French line in its place could not much longer he held. In an instant, as the French retired, the whole slope of the ground was covered by swarms of Prussian Tierile, who seemeu to rise out of the ground and push for ward by the help of every slight rough ness and dent on the surface. As fast as the French went back, these restless ene mies followed after the last desperate charge of the French cavalry. General Sheridan lemarked to me that he never saw any thing so reckless, so utterly foolish as that last charge. Itwas a sheer murder. The Prussians, after the French infantry fell back, advanced rapid ly, so rapidly,'that the retreating squadrons of the French cavalry, beiug pressed so closely, turned sullenly round and charged desperately once again, but it Was all of no use. Tho days of breaking squares are over, and the thin, blue line soon stopped the GuMie onset. It struck me as most extraordinary that at this point the French had neither artillery nor mitrail leurs, especially the latter, on the hill to cover the infantry. The position was a most important one and certainly worth straining every nerve to defend. One tiling was clear enough, that the French infantry after once meeting the Prussians declined to try conclusions with them again, and that the cavalry were seeking to encourage them by their example. About two o'clock other reinforcements came to the Prussians over this long dis puted hill between Farev anil Sedan, to support the regiments already established there. All the time that this great conflict was going on under Fritz's eyes—and mine, may I add—another was fought 1 none the less severe, and as murderous for I the Bavarians as the one just described. Two Bavarian officers-told me that the loss iu their regiment was terrific, and that i( was the mi trail fours which made the havoc. At five' minutes past two in the afternoon the French totally abandoned the hill be tween 'farcy and Sedan, and tell back on the Faubourg of Cavntvert, outside the ramparts of the town. “Now the battle is lost for the French," sahl Gen. Sheridan, to the great delight of the Prussian officers, title would fancy that the French had al most heard his words; they had hardly been uttered when there came a lull in the tiring all along the line, or rather circle, as it had now become. Count Bismarck chose that moment to come and have a talk with his English and American friends. I was anxious to kuow what the Federal Chancellor had done about the threatened neutrality of Belgium, and my curiosity was soon gratified. “I have told the Bel gian Minister of War,” said Count Bis marck, "that so long as the Belgian troops do their utmost to disarm any number of French soldiers who may cross the fron tier 1 \s ill strictly respect the neutrality of Belgium, but if, on the contrary, the Bel gians, either through negligence or inac tivity, do not disarm and capture every man in French uniform who seta his foot in their country, we shall at once follow the enemy into neutral territory with our troops, considering that the French have been the first to violate Belgian soil. I have been down to have a look at the Bel J gian troops near the frontier," added Count Bismarck, “and I confess that they do not inspire me with a very high opinion of i their martial order or discipline. It is only' i when they have their great coats on that I one can see a great deal of paletot, but hardly any soldier.” 1 asked llis Excel lency where he thought the Emperor was, iuSedau? “Oh no, was the reply.” “Na poleon is not very wise, but he is not quite so foolish as to put himself iu Sedan just now For once in his life Count Bis marck was wrong. At a quarter to three o'clock, the King came to where 1 was standing, saying that lie thought the French were going to try and break out just beneath us in front of the second Bavarian corps. At ten min utes to four, General Sheridan told me that Napoleon and Louis were iu Sedan. At twenty' minutes past three the Bava rians below us not only contrived to get inside the fortifications of Sedan but to maintain themselves there, working their way forward from house to house. About four o'clock there was a great fight for the possesion of the bridge above Bazcille, and that done, Sedan was swept on all sides by the Prussian cannon. About five o'clock there was again a sudden suspension of the cannonade along the whole line. Many were the specula tions as to the cause, but nobody seemed to divine the truth. You may judge of our surprise when, four minutes later, we saw a French officer attended by the 1 hlans coming at a hard trot up the steep bridge path from Sedan to our iw>st. one ot the Lilians carry inga while duster on a lag got stick as a flag of truce. The messen ger turned out to be a French colonel who came to ask the terms of surrender. After a very short consultation lietween tiie King and General Von Moltko the messenger was told that in a matter as im portant a> tin* surrender of at least 80,OU0 men and an important fortress it was nec essary to send an officer of higher rank. ••You arc therefore to return to Sedan and toll the governor of the town to re port himself immediately to the King of Prussia. If he does not arrive in an hour I our guns will again open fire. Von may tell the commandant that there no use of his trying to obtain any ether terms than unconditional surrender.” The par [COXTtXl'ED OX rOLUTH PAGE.]

FRYE. r*r Register sf Probate, Lincoln, FKNKLON cal cannot fail to touch our sympathies. It turns back our thoughts to the times when Washington and his fellow patriots, fighting, suffering, almost exhausted, received substantial aid which enabled them to go forward and complete successfully their good work, while in the ranks of the enemy fighting against our fathers stood the Hessians, the paid hire lings of England, brought from Germany to assist in keeping the British yoke nit on our neck. We think of Lafayette, D’Estaing, Rocbaniltcau and the joint triumph of the American and French arms at Yorktown, giving the finishing blow to British tyrianny over the Ameri can Colonic*. But while the cry for help is heard, and our sympathies are aroused to the recollection of past favors and a realisation of the blessing* that would re sult to France from a well established form of government like oars, we are obliged to toll them that the work and iMhii victory must be their own. If they can not stand upon their own strength there is no salvation For them. Their statesmen know this. They know that this govern ment cannot interfere in th’eir domestic concerns if it would, without damaging the cause of free government. Our inter ference would be a good apology, if they need any, for the crowned heads of Eu rope to step in ami establish a despotism or such a government as might suit their purposes. We shall be more powerful for intervention, should its justification and necessity arise, if we keep strict faith with other nations, manifesting no temper to unwarrantably push our ideas or interests in the case. ‘It would tie folly for us and France to provoke their nnited strength against ours, with three thousand miles of ocean between. There is hope for France only through her own resources. If her people stand up firm and united for a republic, and her leaders with dignity, simplicity and hon esty go about the task of establishing it, respecting the rights and opinions of oth ers, and avoiding theatrical flummery and attacks upon religion, using wisely the courage and ability which they have, they may make a footing for a republic that the aristocrats of Europe will not dare to as sail, and which if they did would furnish the United States an occasion to became a party to the quarrel. The greatest doubt about the success of the French in their new attempt at self government rests upon want of faith in themselves. The lack of high moral purpose and want of power of individual self government is painfully evident. We achieved our suc cess, not by flaming manifestoes and tragic attitudes to strike an admiring world, but by patience, by marches through frost and snow with naked and bleeding feet, by trust in Providence, and steady sup port of the men and measures necessary for the purpose. When France stands morally upon the plane ol the men who established this goverment she will be able to fight her battle for freedom alone. It Is not more men she needs, nor courage, eloquence, nor spirit, but more solid, man ly character. With this she can have ami sustain a republic without it this last at tempt will be like those of 179;.' and 1848, a failure. The first step to take is to close the war. It was the war of Louis Napo leon, not of France. It was begun with out cause and ought to be ended as soon as it may be on reasonable terms. The French people are not responsible for it thus far,but should they continue it without efforts at peace it will be theirs to answer for. POLITICAL. Hon. George II. Fillsbury publishes a letter declining the nomination for theLeg islature tendered him by the republicans of Lewiston. The Portland Press says the report that a call for a convention to nominate a new candidate for Congress in that district, has been numerously signed, is untrue. The Press says such a call was circulated, but it received so little favor that it was abandoned.

To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: An article in your paper of Gth inst. signed by Joseph Baker, nnd purporting to be a state ment of facts in reference to the part borne by him and me, as Commissioners under Re solve of March 12, 18G9, contains so many un founded allegations, and asserts falsehoods so gross about my share of the work, that I ask the privilege of replying, briefly, through your columns. Mr. Baker says bis removal by the Govern or and Council was without the slightest notice to him—thnt he was arraigned when absent— tried without hearing, &c. When it is known that ho misrepresents wilftilly in these declarations, so that the broadest charity cannot find pallinticn for his misstatements, it will not seem strange that he attempts to divert attention from his crime by reckless accusations against me. The de fence made by him, in writing, under date of June 27, 1870, in substantially the same terms as bis published defence, has become a part of the records in the office of the Secretary of State, nnd 1 am therefore at liberty to refer to it, and to the action taken thereon, as con victing him of foul wrong in his statements relative to his removal. Mr. Baker is insanely or corruptly wrong in his charges against me, scattered so freely through his defence.” The cry of injured innocence by which he seeks to attract sym pathy, will not avail for concealment of hit wrongs, nor allow him to escape through this notorious subterfuge of criminals. Without following him lurther, at this nio ment, in his tirade against me, 1 wish to call attention to some facts concerning his posi tion. He was a member of the last Legislature— chairman of the committee to whom the Leg islaturc committed our work for examination —and stated to the members of that commit tee, and the Judiciary Committee, jointly con I vened near the close of the session, for the express purpose of considering our Report, that the whole work had been faithfully ex I arnined, and recommended its enactment, i Does Mr. Baker mean to say that he stated what was false thenl Or does he hang on the other horn of hit self-imposed dilemma, and now say that he did not know, at the close of he Legislative session, of errors in the work? If he states truly now about my short comings before the session, how does he justify his un 1 qualified endorsement of the whole work at its close? But to whom did he ever communicate his intention to change the Act, until after its ac i complishment? Certainly not to the Secro tary of State, the responsible custodian not to the Governor and Council, who had it in charge to procure the publication of the Act; nor to either of his associates in the comniis

r. sion. In his defence of June 27, after asserting in the language of low blackguardism, that he “went through it,” he says —"I freely admit that such changes teere not contemplated by any authority granted to the Commissioners by the legislature. I understood that be fore." With this avowal of a deliberate forgery ot a public Act, he has the impudent effrontery to ask cxultingly—“Who, then, is harmed?” If the legal profession and the citizens gener ally, conclude that the Acts of the Legislature arc proper, subjects for unauthorized change, by any man. then his query is of harmless significance; ‘if they think otherwise, the question is an insult to every citizen. T will not aak space to go over the whole ground. Mr. linker has brought tills matter to pub lic notice in away that is likely to elicit future discussion, and I am only desirous to conduct it hereafter, with deference to truth, and a decent regard to the public position we have both occupied. E. W. Wedowood. Sept. 8, 1870. IMPORTANT FACTS! For the Public. NEW EASTERN DEPOT FOR THE M OULD RENOWNED SINGER SEWING MACHINES. Opposite the Post Office, AUGUSTA, MAINE. These Machines, by their simplicity, durability, and the great range of work they execute, have gained a refutation truly enviable. The famous successor the singer Manufactur ing Company has t-timulnted many other compan ies to put forth all their energies’ and talents to produce a sewing machine that would eclip.-o or equal the Singer, nut in every case they have sig nallv tailed, as is plainly shown by the met, that of all the travelling agent.-—“runners or drummer-’ —of other companies, none have the as.-urance to claim more than an equality with the Sinffr, even upon any speeial class of work. There are many sewing machines, now offered t. aiuiug.’’ “The l>ouble-Lock-Knot-stitch.*‘ “Elastic -t tch.’ Tu i-t ed Loop." s» If-A'lju.'ting Ten-ions." Hmg> .ni-b ami Beautifully Ornamented.’’ “.-traight Needle." “Stitch- Vlike-on-both >ides." “Medals ft*oni Fair ••Vertieal Feed Bars." Noiseless Running." “silent Feed." and last and worst of rII, the low-priced— “Family shuttle Machines." Manv of these points are desirab’e. (ami the Singer excells ail in each individual speciality) but the greatest Use made of tlic-e special points, is by the retail agent who parades them be lore the inex perience*! purchas* r with such fluent anil earnest style, as to entirely divert attention from the really important hearing’s of the ease. While ot her inno cent local agents ignorantly represent that the ma chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie ty of work, equal to the Singer, and often do they thus unconsciously >windle customers w ho cannot afford to squander their substance upon gilded follies and w orthless rattle-traps. Parties in quest of a Sewing Machine should look about them and learn yvhat machine is most exten sively u-ed in families, tailor shop-, shoe factories, ami carriage factories. Jt is an acknov'ledaed fact, t reel y th seses, whi ther custom made or ready made, is actually manufactured upon THE Singer sewing Machine These Machines are manufactured by one of the oldest, strongest, and most enterprising Compan- ies that has ever been engaged in the business in the world. Throughout their immense manufac tories, which are kept in constant operation “day and night,” none hut highly skilled mechanic* are employed. Newly improved machinery is em ployed turning out each part finished to that me- ehanicnl exactness, that every one is a be fleet «lu- j plicate of the other in size, weight.and nuish. All new inventions are carefully examined ami tested, and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex pense. while the many impractical humbugs that are patented., are left 'to grace some new wonder and learn the purchaser when ton late, that he has “paid too dear for his whistle.” It should be re membered that the Singer Manufacturing Com pany has never made a poor Machine—from the very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy editorial notices’, or expend funds in “log-rolling” at Fairs to gain medals or premiums. They simply make their Machines as valuable ns money and science can perfect them—place them in their Sales Rooms, and leave the public to flint out their virtues in their own way. By this straight forward course they are n**W manufacturing about four hundred per dav. and at that rate, even, arc unable to supply the demand. WHAT IS THE NEW FAMILY SINGER OF 1870? It Is the concentrated result of twenty years ex perience in building Sewing Machines. It uses very abort straight needles. It makes the Shuttle or Lock-Stitch alike upon both sides of the work. It is very light running and has a silent feed. It is very easily kept clean, and is always in order. It is less difficult to understand and learn to operate than any other. It h is the nio-t simple and easily adjusted ten sion ever invented. It is less liable to rust than any other. It is so constructed that dust cannot enter it or oil drop from it. It works equally well upon the finest Lace or hcavie-l Beaver Cloths. it will liem ruffling* of dress goods over seams without any preparation. it is very high-speeded. and requires very little power to keep in motion. It will out-wear any other Family Machine ever made. It will Hem, Braid. Fell, Cord Tack, Ruffle, Em broider, Bind, Trim, Ac. it costs fuiO delivered at your house, set to run ning and warranted. Covers, Folding Tops, Cabinets, according to fin ish. i|tH5 to $2o0. The prices named above, are the cash prices at the Manufactory, but know ing that the various cir cumstances ot all will not admit of the rigid C. O. 1). principle, it has been decided to divide the amount into monthly or in some cases weekly pay ments, In such a manner as will best suit the con venience of the purchaser. This is done purely for the accommodation of the patron, as no extra charge is made from the regu lar cash prices. No charge for instructions in operating the Sing er’s upon any class of work.

Advice to fish-eaters—“deal gently with the herring.” Song'the of shad-eater—“Bony part crossing the Alps.” The democrats hold a caucus this evening, at Mconian Hall, to nominate candidates to be defeated for representatives to the legisla ture. The dining hall of the Kennebec Valley Campmecting Association in Kichiuoml, will be enlarged before the next meeting to accom modate a thousand at one time at the tables. A party of our citizens returned yesterday from a trip to Moosehead lake. They have had plenty of fun and made large hauls of trout. This Is just the time for trouting at the lake. Mr. C. H. Clark of Pittsfield, Me., has just obtained a couple of patents through the I’a- tent Agency of M. Mansur of this city; one upon a Brace and Drilling Machine, the other Swifts and Heel. Would it not be well for our citizens ot both parties to provide some place fur receiving the election returns Monday nightThose who cannot wait until the morning paper ap pears will thus he accommodated. We are indebted to Fred llnriilen and Dan iel White-house of this eity, who have just returned from Moosehead lake, for a nice mess of lake trout. They brought large quan tities, which they have distributed among their friends. In the coroner’s inquest held on the body of young l.ibbey who was killed on the railroad near Falmouth on Tuesday evening, the rail road employees were exonerated from al] blame in the premises.

It is the duty of re publicans to attend the primary meetings. The County Commissioners have given a hearing in this city to Madison Crowell of Benton, for abatement of taxes. He claims abatement on the ground that his hank stock was taxed higher in proportion than other personal property. The case was continued until September 20th. Our merchants and manufacturers should make a special effort to exhibit their wares and the products of their industry at the State Fair. Available room will he furnished witli out expense to the exhibitors, where the arli I eles exhibited may be displayed to good nd I vantage and according to the best taste. I Business men of Portland last year saw their I interest to lie in the direction of large contri B buttons to the fair. A newspaper is a good fl advertising medium, but it must have a large f circulation to meet the ey es of so many people 1 in a single week as will be attracted heredur ing the days of the fair, to examine with a 1 critical eye all the products of skill and in i dusjry which will be placed in the State j House. We trust our merchants and mc I chanics will be liberal contributors. I We alluded recently to sea shell being found 1 deposited in Cushnoc heights. The strata 1 containing thousands of shells of that branch I of the animal kingdom termed molluscs by 1 geologists, lies from one to eight feet below' 1 the surface, and front sixty to one hundred I feet above the bed of the river, at a dip of about thirty degrees, and these shells when 1 brought to the surface appear quite perfect, j but soon crumble by exposure to the atmos 1 phere. These animals are among the first in 1 habitants of this globe, and consequently may 1 date back to the Silurian period, which 1 cannot be measured by years but by epochs. I We have ofte n made the inquiry why we found I only half-grown shells, and so down to the R size of a pea, but could only answer that the 1 earth might he undergoing rapid volcanic i changes, which had entombed them soon alter I the bed w as formed. Perhaps some scientific 1 gentleman can tell us when Cushnoc heights 1 were the boundcries of old ocean. I Bad Accident One Man Killed and Three Injured, I It becomes our duty to record a painful ac 1 cidcnt that occurred on the new railroad bridge I in this city yesterday forenoon, about half- 1 I past eleven o’clock, by which one man was j 3 killed and three injured. Tho woikmen were k removing the lower staging between the piers supporting the first span of the iron bridge. I Three men were standing on the top of the 1 staging next to the second pier and by means 1 of ropes were lowering the horses supporting I the first portion, w hich they thought to ae 1 coinplish without interfering with the other I part. In the attempt, which must certainly he I I considered a very careless one on the part of those engaged, the part that was being lower I cd canted, and striking with considerable force 1 against the portion upon which the men were 1 standing, carried away the entire staging, pre- j 1 cipitating the men among the mass of falling C timbers to the rocks below, a distance of about I twenty-eight feet. It was low tide and the j rocks were bare. 1 Mr. Merrill Buck of this city was at work 1 under the staging at the time of the accident, I engaged with a piekpole in the work of re- j I moving tho horses. Several timbers fell upon 1 his head, killing him instantly. He scarcely moved after being struck. Mr. Buck belongs R at Pettingill’s corner in this city. He was I about fifty years of age and leaves a wife and R two children. He had been in the employ of I the railroad company since last spring. When 1 the news of his death was conveyed to his j 1 family the daughter was taken with severe 1 convulsions from which she was relieved only I alter medical assistance. 1 The names of the three men who were on 1 the staging are James Neal of New Sharon, I Daniel Hasson ot this city, and C. C. Griffin 1 residing on Cushnoc heights in this eiiy. Mr. 1 Neal’s right leg was badly broken below- the I knee, near the ankle, and lie was injured on I the shoulder. Mr. Hasson had no bones brok I en, hut suffered severe concussion. Mr. Grif I fin had four ribs broken, one of his hands I cut, hut not otherwise badly injured. The I three men of course received some slight bruises, besides those mentioned. Drs. Brick I ett and Martin attended the injured men, and I are now doing well. The accident caused R considerable excitement in community, and a I fboling of sympathy for the afflicted ones. Dralh of John McArthur, Esq. j Our venerable and respected citizen, Jolin McArthur, died at his residence in this city yesterday morning, at the age of (14 years and 4 months. Mr. McArthur was born in Litn ington, in tins State, on the 13th of May, 1806. Ilis father, John McArthur, was a Scotchman, and one of the hardy pioneers who came here to subdue the forests and cul tivate the soil. At the age of eighteen years, the subject of this notice commenced business for himself, setting up a small grocery store in liis native town. A few years afterwards lie removed to Pursonsfield, where he contin ued the grocery business. Here he married i his first wife. Desiring a wider field, he soon removed to Boston and entered into the whole sale trade. By an accident, causing him to fall several feet, he became disabled and was compelled to abandon business for some time. From Boston he removed to Brooks in this State, and entered once more into the retail grocery business. Here lie united with the I Congregationalist church, and up to the time of his death was a firm and consistent believer 1 in the doctrines of that denomination, although i possessing charity for all who differed with I him. His wife having died sometime previ ous to this, lie married, during his residence in Brooks, Miss Irish of Gorham, who is now living. Twenty-three years ago he removed j to Augusta. The first week he came here he bought a house, a store and a pew in the Con I gregational church, as though he intended to make this his home for the remainder of his life, as indeed it has been. His store was burnt with most of his stock in the great fire of ’65, but although quite advanced in life lie opened another store and continued the gro cery business until last spring. He has been in feeble health for some time and has ‘utter ed with epileptic tits. He was on the street and at his usual places of resort on Tuesday last. Not feeling well, he went to his house about ti n o’clock, and complained of pains in his head and of cold feet. His wants were ad ministered to, and for a time he appeared quite comfortable.

RUMOR OF A REPUBLIC IN ITALY. _ i Negotiations lor a Suspension of Hostil ities Between the English and Ital i inn Minister* and King W illiam. THE CAPITULATION OF McMAIION CAUSED BY TREASON IN HIS OWN ARMY. j Luxemburg, Sept. 8. Gen. De impfen, the late Commander uf the Front'll forces at Sedan, ami who nego tiated the capitulation of the fortress ami the remainder of McMahon’s forces, having been empowered by the Prussians to treat w ith McMahon, left for Metz to explain the rea sons which influenced the capitulation. Gen. Dc Wimpfcn w as accompanied by an escort of Prussian cavalry, under a general officer. Upon arriving at the foot ot the walls of Metz, Wimpfcn, under cover of a flag of truce, communicated v ith Bazaine, present ing in the strongest light the circumstances which necessitated the capitulation. Marshal Bazaine in rt ply to the suggestion for a capitulation of Metz, positively refused to listen to such a proposition, declaring that he would maintain his position inside the walls of Metz, in the most extreme hazards. He firmly refused to treat upon any terms. General De Wimpfcn will probably be com pelled to return to Sedan with the object of his mission unaccomplished. Sedan, via. Brussels, Sept. 8. A fatal epidemic is raging among the troops around Sedan. The victims include the sol diers of both the French and German armies. The sufferings from the ravages of the scourge is intense and aggravated. The complaint has assumed a contagious form, and finds new victims daily, it is of the nature- ot the dys entary. Paris, Sept. 8. Despatches have been received at the Min istry of Foreign Affairs from the Diplomatic' representatives ot the licpublic of France at i London and Vienna, announcing shat the 1 governments of England and Austria have lormully recognized the licpublic. The city this morning is more than usually quiet, hut wears an air of earnest ditermina tion, exceedingly impressive. With the rumors of the advance of the ene my the determination to defend the city is growing stronger. The total number of troop- under arms in Paris is 140,utM. The ports of Brest, Havre and Cherbourg are being actively placed in a complete state of defence. Florence, Sept. 8. The issue of the Itoman question is as doubtful as ever. Troops are continually go ing foiwurd to the Homan frontier. London, Sept. 8. Marshal McMahon is dead. He was dread fully wounded in the last battle hv fragments of shell which struck him in the hip and i hack, lie hud lain deprived of motion since the surrender. Every care was bestowed i j upon the heroic General, hut his wounds j were mortal, and have caused his death. The news of his death has been communicated to his soldiers.—The demonstrations of grid are undescribuble. Advices ol an official character were re ceived in this city to-day from Copenhagen which state that the officers of the French Baltic fleet have unanimously accepted the government, and will continue duty under i the new organization tor this defence of the city and country. Madrid, Sept. 8. In view of the lute important events the Cortes have been culled to meet on the 25th of Sept. Latest. London, Sept. 8. Heports are received from all quarters that mediation in the affairs of France and Prus sia are contemplated. There is no cessation, however, in efforts tor National defence. The Gaulois says part of the administration goes to Tours immediately, and if need be will go to Lyons, ami thence to Marseilles. It is reported that a Committee installed in 1 Lyons think of resisting the government be j cause it is too moderate. I.aon lias been turned by the Prussians, who are marching on Paris through the valley of the Aisno. The Journal official says that as the forests of Compiegnc and Chaintly will serve as a refuge tor tlie enemy, they should be burned. It is understood that in case of mediation Lord Lyons. English Minister; Chevalier Ni gra, the Italian Minister: Sonor Olozaga, the Spanish Minister, and Mr. Washbumc, the American Minister, will go to the Prussian King's headquarters. The Prussian advance has reached LaFcrti Sous Jouane, forty miles from Paris. i The Princess Mathilda has been conducted to the frontier. Rrussels is crowded with paroled French officers, captured in the recent battles nround Sedan. Uazaine is well supplied with provisions. The Independence Beige says the fact that England offers no mediation, is attributed to the Earl uf Granville's adherence to his posi tion, that the integrity of the French territory is no longer possibH.-. There is a rumor from Marseilles that a Re public of Italy bad been proclaimed in Flor ence, and that lliimhurt, Crown Prince, bad been named President. The Pope still retains services of his legion aries, though the Italians are preparing to en ter Rome. The Pall Mall Gazette says Lyons and Ni gra, the English and Italian Ministers, are about to go to King William’s headquarters to negotiate a suspension of hostilities. The Republic is averse to war but faithful always to the dignity of France. The French officers who surrendered all at ttihute the necessity of McMahon's capitula tion to treason in his own army. Mr. Drummond the Banker, writes to the Post an interesting account of Napoleon while a prisoner. He says: Before long we jo n the rear of the Emperor’s train. The cortege war of great length. We had a i good opportunity of seeing it as it passed over the bridge at right angles w ith the main road. First came the Emperor’s own car riage, n travelling Berlin. Then an open carriage, and alter these tw o or three car riages, something in the line of prison vans, uiaiked ‘•Masion Militrirc do l'Enipereur,” and containing numbers of his staff, a num ber of horses following, some mounted by Imperial servants in liveries. The horses were magnificent, animals of over 1(1 hands high. The postillions wore glazed hats, gay j coats and scarlet waistcoats. There were relays of horses for carriages, hacks, saddle horses, ami charges beyond price. About noon the Emperor alighted in the Bullion, and walked to the hotel. The crowd of peo ple were numerous, hut were kept off by the Belgian troops. 'Ilie French officers were of high grade. The Emperor uppeared at a window and the crowd hurrahed. The French prisonQps were silent and made no rc-ponsc. It was impossible to find quarters and food for them at the hotel. The Em- I peror dined first, then his suites, and the rest j ate w hat they could get. About two o'clock, t the Emperor accompanied by Gen. Castle nian, came to the door of the railway station. 1 He seemed well, his face showing no eiuo- tiun. though he leaned heavily on the urm of j the servant who led him out. He walked w ell. He wore a red kepi, embroidered with gold, and carried a decoration on his coat. Despatches were handed him arid lie sat down outside of the platform and wrote re plies. He afterwards paced up and down the platform smoking cigarrcttes. lie re turned to the waiting room and read the In dependence Beige, until a special train ar- rived when lie departed. Communications with Paris are liable to i interruption at any moment. The shop-keepers in the absence of eus- tomers, are hungry lor the arrival of the Prussians. Special to N. Y. Herald. London, Sept. S. A letter from Paris i dated Sept. 7, midnight, says: The city continued strangely quiet, but underneath it is easy to discover serious feeling of appre hension. There is, beyond a doubt, much concealed desire for peace, on any terms, on preference to subject the capital to the hor rors and dangers of a siege; but everybody is afraid to talk of yielding. The circular ol Jules La vie is liked. It inspires with courage the doubting and undecided. The sombre weather increases depression. The Uhlans are approaching fast, and what their actual arrival will produce it is hard to say, but it is likely to be defiance; although if the question was honestly decided according to the wishes of the people, it would he sub mission. The great trouble is want of organi zation. The Mongrell bodies of troops have a scarcity of officers. For fear of thieves and roughs the citizens all go armed. A notice to expel nil women and children from the city is anticipated to-morrow. The ex orders of strangers in every direction is in creasing hourly. The hotels are empty and the theatres are closed. News from the vicinity of Metz announce that its capitulation is imminent. The Prussian Moniteur says that the Em peror so exposed himself in the buttle of Se dan ns to leave no doubt of his intention to seek death. The North German Gazette says of the Jules Favre manifesto, that it begins with the phase and ends with the lies ot a lawyer and balderdash. Special to Tribune. London, Sept. >i. Th following report of the declaration by the French Foreign Min ister, comes to me from a private correspon dent whose position enables him to know the facts, and who guarantees the accuracy of the statements Jules Favre had been appealed to for a quasi official sanction to a Republican dem onstration in Madrid, with an intimation from Prim that lie could be President of a Spanish Republic. Far re replied “The government of France will not at this moment make any movement to encour age a Republic in Spain, and would even pre fer that it should not be defended. The rea son which obliges us to refuse is that Repub licanism so spread would aleinate and terrify Russia, and imperial negotiations funding be tween the provisional government and Russia for an alliance offensive and defensive aguiust Prussia. Should the latter prove too exact ing as to terms of peace, in other words if tiiis alliance takes plans and it is on the point of realization, Russia marches straight upon Berlin. She has already began to send troops to her western frontier. If you ask what can tempt ltrussia, the answer is that tile same military strength which Prussia lias now directed against France, will sooner or later he turned against Russia with a v iew to acquire all the German provinces of Prussia. Mr. correspondent adds—you may make use of tiiis intelligence, for it cannot long remain a secret. It may be depended upon absolute ly. Paris, Sept. a. It is contemplated to appoint as Ambt ssa dors to London, Vienna and Berlin active members of the party of the left. No call for universal suffrage will be made until the war is over. This seems to be the sentiment of Paris Journals. Intelligence has been received tliat the French Ambassador to Constantinople has re signed. The French Yacht Club has given half a million francs for the wounded in the French army. Special to the Times The death of Gen. McMahon is regarded ns a National calamity. Marshal Cnrronhcrt was wounded. The circular of Jules Favre to the foreign diplomatic agents shows evidence of a design to treat with the enemy. The remnants of McMahon's corps art pouring into Paris. The Journals have reports of horrible cruelties practiced by the advancing Prus sians, who, it is said, shoot women on the roadside. Great crowds of Garde Mobile, and citizens carrying French and American Hags made demonstrations before American legation to day of gratitude for recognition of French Republic by the United States. The letter of Mr. Washburn to Jules Favre, gives great sat isfaction. People seemed persuaded that the American government will interfere in favor of peace. The following proclamation appears in the extras nnrl is placarded about the city i—The country is in danger. In the presence of the enemy all influences of opinion and all oppo sition should disappear before the general safety. Accursed be he who can retain per sonal desire or prejudice in such supreme moment. The undersigned set aside all opin ions. save the one that it is our duty to offer our most energetic and absolute assistance, and make no condition save that the Kepublic be maintained. Let us all be buried in the ruins of Paris rather than agree to the dis memberment of France. Signed—Blnnque, Lacambre, the Tridor Brothers, Villenire, Fequard, La Vraud, Pil hes and others.

We learn Irotn the Railroad Gazette that there is sharp competition now between the Pacific mail steamers and the overland line to California.

The railroad has taken freight in several instances, at S3 per bun I dred pounds,,»nd the steamship company has signed through hills of landing at Si per hun f°r the same class of freight.

At half past six there arose a cry among the members of the King's staff. “Dor Kaizer ist da!” and then came a loud hurrah. Soon we began to look anxiously lor the second flag of truce, and in ten minutes more Gen. Reilly rode up with a letter for the King of Prussia. As soon as the French General was in sight, tho slender escort of cuirassiers anti dragoons that we had with us was drawn up in a liue, two deep, behind the King. In front of the escort was the stafT, and ten yards in front of them again stood His Majesty. King William of Prussia, to r.s ceive General Reilly. I hat officer, we soon learned, was the bearer ot an auto graph letter from the Emperor Napoleon to King William. The Emperor of the French wrote: "As I cannot die at tho head of my armv I lay my sword at the feet of vour Majesty.” Why Napoleon Sd could not die as did thousands of his soldiers, sword in hand with his face-to the foe, is not so dear. On the receipt of this most aston ising letter there was a brief consultation be tween the King, the Crown Prince, who had come over on the arrival of the flag of truce,Count Bismarck, General f on Mol tke and Von Rern. After a few minutes' conversation the King sat down on a rush bottom chair, and wrote a note on an other chair, held as a table by two aides-de-camp, the Em peror, begging him tocomethe next day to the King of Prussia's headquarters at Ven drez. While this note was being written, Count Bismarck came up to Generals Sheridan and Forsythe and myself and heartily shook our hands. "Let me congratulate you most sincerely Count,” said General Sheridan. “I can only compare tho surrender of Napo leon to the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox Court House.” When it came my turn to grasp the Chancellor’s hand, I could not help saying, after 1 had warmly congratulated him, "\ou cannot but fed a pride. Count Bismarck, in hav ing contributed so largely to the win ning of to-day’s victory.” “Oh, no, my dear sir,” was the mild an swer, I am no strategist, and have noth ing to do with the winning of battles. What I am proud of is, that the Bavari ans, the Saxons and the Wurtemburgers have not ouly been on our side, but have had so large a share—the largest share—in the glory of the day that tiny are with us, and not against us. That is my doing. I don’t think the French will say now that the South Germans will not 11 in iui Dili uiHiiuiwu rauiuitiiiu. I asked His Excellency whether Louis was taken with his papa, and was told that no one knew, and 1 think no one cared where that small young man was. When the king had written his letter he himself handed it to Gen. Reilly, who stood barheaded to receive it, the Italian and Crimean medals glittering on his breast in the fading sunlight. Queen Victoria’s image and superscrip tion have not olten been seen on the uni forms of men surrendering without condi tion. At twenty minutes to eight Gen. Reilly left for the beleaguered town, es corted by the Uhlans The duster which had served as a 11 ag of truce was offered to me as a souvenir of this most memora ble day, but it bail a strong resemblance to other dusters, and 1 declined the prof fered relic. Then there was a general demand to drink, and Count Bismarck's aide-de-camp produced two bottles of Bel gian beer. One of them His Excellency shared with Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Forsythe and myself, saying that he drank to the closer union of the three great Teutonic peoples. As soon as Gen. Reilly was gone I was anxious to lie off to the Belgian frontier, in the hope of getting messages through, hut Count Bismarck's aid informed me that it was physically impossible to go that night, and that I must wait until next morning, and even then must be careful not to tall in to the hands of the stray French soldiers who were known to be dispersed in all direc tions along the Belgian frontier, and to be a little better than bandits. So 1 slept at the village of Cherouge. Early the next morning I started for Belgium, and as I rode along I suddenly came tirst on a knot of Uhlans, then on two Piqures in the green and and gold Imper ia) livery. Directly behind them came the travelling carriage of His Majesty with Napoleon the Third, on his way to report himself a prisoner at King William's head quarters at Veudrez, a little dirty village some eight miles frouifcjcdan.

Treatment.—Ilelmbold’s highly concentrated compound Extract liuchu is decidedly one of the best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism, aud gouty affections. Under this head we have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water, 8cauty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges of water; strangury, or stopping of water; Hema turia, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of the kidneys, without any change in quantity, but increase in color, or dark water. It was always highly recommended by the lute Dr. Physick, in these affections. This medicine Increases the power of digestion, and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise bv which the watery or calcareous depositions, and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and in flammation, are reduced, and it is taken by men, women, and children.

Helmhold, Druggist—Dear Sir I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, miring which lime I have used various medicinal preparations, and bwn under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, 1 consulted my family physical! in regard to using your Extract liuchu. I did this because I had used all kinds of adver- i Used remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, 1 despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of bucliu, eiibobs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys- ician as an excellent combination and w ith his ad- vice, after an examination of the article and o yon feel dull, listless, moping, tired of company, S Faskionable Hair Dressing Rooms Opposite Parrott Bradbury’s, Water Street, Augusta, Me.
