Under tbe able management of Mr. Oeswell the Port Office Department is last becoming a self-snstahmig institution. Fron^a statement of the revenues and ex penditures just published for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, it appears that tbe receipts exceeded the estimates for the same time made in 1808, under Andrew i Johnson's administration, by $1,771,197. 86, or 10.33 per cent, while the expendi tures fnll below the same estimate by $1, JH0.448 08, or7.!>0 per cent. The estimat ed deficiency of receipts, as compared with expenses, was $3,028,777 40, while the actual deficiency is only $1,328,777 40. POLITICAL. A correspondent of the Lewiston Jour-1 ual In Oxford County, says; Notwithstanding ail tiie reports to the con trary, I am satisfied that the Oxford county drirgallon in the next Legislature, with a single exception, will be for Hon. Lot Al. Morrill for C. 8. Senator. This exception is in one of the western dis tricts. where a part of the republicans bolted the regular nomination and supported the candidate presented by tbe Chamberlain de mocracy—tbe same political game played in several other towns in the last election. 1 make wp this opinion, upon the conceded ba sis that a very Urge majority of the republi cans of this county are decidedly in favor of his re-election. It is true that l)r. Jones of the Norway and Oxford District—at the time of his nomination, was claimed as s Cham berlain man; yet it is equally true that Dr. Jones, after his nomination, publicly and pri raleiy pledged himself to represent the senti ment of bis District, which undoubtedly is strongly for Senator Morrill. One or two other members of the delega tion may have a high personal respect fur Gov. C., hut they are men of too much per sonal honor to misrepresent their constituents, upon mere personal considerations. The al liance of some Chamberlain republicans with tbe democracy to defeat the regular ticket in many places—at the last election—has had a damaging effect upon the prospects of Gov. Chamberlain. General Woodford, Republican candi date lor Governor of New York, has pnb liey and distinctly challenged Governor Hoffman to meet him on the stump, where they can discuss the issues of the coming election before the people. General Duller talks about the fishing question as follows: “If 1 were a fisherman, and any attempt was made to interfere with my rights. I w ould fight in defence of them, amt the first gun fired would either put a stop to these outrages or give us Canada.” OUSE HAL SEWS. l’«?ru hat formed an association, with a capital of 91,000.00, for an iiifportation of Chinese coolies. Next year completes a thousand years since Alfred the Great, founder of the uni versity at Oxford, ascehded the English throne. The English are proposing to cele brate the occasion. Chinese converts to Christianity preach in the streets at San Francisco. Over half the Democratic nominees for Congress in Ohio this Fall are old ‘-Know Nothings." Felt hats will be considerably worn by the ladies this season in all the stylish colors, and trimmed with velvet and scarfs. The steeple-crowned and brigand-looking lints are gone, and instead we have broad fiat crowns with brims turned up the sides. (several of the most substantial business men at Worcester, Was*., have recently pur chased forty-live acres of land with the view of erecting suitable buildings in which to manufacture Brussels carpets. A young lady named O'Donnell recently sacrificed her life at Strawberry Plain», Tenn., in the effort to save her two little brothers, who had gone out to bathe and were drowning. Her body was subsequently found in the bed ef the river, with an urtn tightly clasped round each of the brothers. On Thursday morning a young man named Oeorge Clay started from Exeter. N. H. to lead a bull to Kingston to be exhibited at the Rockingham Fair. Just ns lie was leaving the village the bull turned on him, threw him down and gored him In a terrltde manner. 1 So ferocious was the bull that it whs only by the united efforts ot two men that Clay was j rescued nlive. Henry Clay used to say that there wen' j three classes of people with whom it was never safe to quarrel. First—Ministers; lor the reason that they eould denouuee me from the pulpit and l had none through which to reply. Second—Editors; for they had the most powerful engine- front which they could hurl wrath and fury upon me. and I had none thre'Ugh which to reply.

Accordingly the 4 New York burglar* pro ceeded to the hank, hut were delayed in the r operation* hy the pretence „f a policeman on the street. Keizer vat informed of the fact and went down and got the policeman away from the vicinity of the hank, immediately after which the explosion took place, it was now near daylight. Grave* took Hand into a carriage and proceeded to Belfast, whence he proceeded by steamboat to Portland and thence to Canada and has not been secured. Keizer and Black took Moore and (light, who had the plunder in their possession, out of town in carriage* and secreted them at Beech Woods. On their wav thither they were met by persons coining into the citv, it being day light. Keizer was to return at night and con vey the burglars to Augusta. Suspicions being at once aroused towards Keizer, lie was arrested and disclosed the facts, arranging with the authorities to pro ceed to Beech woods in the evening, and se cure Moore and Might and the property tak en. Daniels, after the burglary, was secret ed by Litchfield at his house. The Court here adjourned till afternoon. The Court came in at 2 1-2 P. M.—The court-room was crowded to overflowing. Many ladies were in attendance. Mr. Bice, County Attorney, put into the ease the various acts incorporating the Lime Bock Bank and continuing its charter in force. J. i Merrill, sworn for government. Am cashier of Lime Bock Bank. I have records of the stockholders’ doings, t frganiza tion of the lltiuk admitted. 1 was acting cashier at the time of robbery. Bunds stolen were in the safe on the night preceding the robbery. I next saw them the night after the robbery at Mr. Berry’s stable. Mr. Berry handl'd them to me. Tint package w as placed in Mr. Berry’s safe. Mr. Berry had the key to the inner door, and I had tiie key of the outer door. I saw them next morning and made a careful inventory of them. I recog nized several as being same bonds that were in the hank the day before. The bonds were then described hy the witness and identified as being those named in the indictment. 1 saw Moore and Might the day after the rob bery at Beech woods. I went out with Mr. John T. Berry anil others. We were direct ed where to look for a package by Moore. Mr. Jewett. I object to acts and statements of Moore in this trial. Bice, County Attorney. It is necessary to prove the robbery was committed in order to hold an accessory. Court. It is necessary to prove the taking of the bonds, and to show guilt of principals, and 1 w ill receive testimony tending to show that. Witness. Moore directed us where to look. We found a bag containing a lot of old letters, cheeks, envelopes, notes, &c. I visited the hank the morning after the robbery. 1 found everything in confusion, papers scattered over the floor, door of safe off, full of smoke, and fractional currency scattered about the floor. The wall on each side of vault was cracked, and a hole large enougti to admit a man was through the wall into the Telegraph office. In Telegraph office there was much confusion— I windows darkened by curtains of enamelled cloth. I attended the bank the day before, and lockeJ it up as usual at night. Every thing was in its proper place. The safe had one door with two looks, one locking against the other. The vault had two doora, each having a lock. The keys were at my house. The door to the banking room had a common mortise lock. Addison F. Keizer sworn. I bad conversa tion with Alden Litchfield at Rockland in re lation to the robbery of Lime Rock Bank, shortly after September last. I had many conversations with him a' out It. The sub stance of the conversation was to rig some plan to rob that bank. Wc talked it over and proposed a plan. These men were to come here and we were to have a vessel for them to stop in. I mean Daniels and Hight were to come. I nfterwnrds saw Hight here with Litchfield, and l had conversation with him in Litchfield’s presence, at Litchfield’s store. I cannot state the conversation. It was concerning the bank. I cannot state the substance of the conversa tion. No arrangement was made then about robbing the bank. I knew that Litchfield at tempted to get a boat. He got one to go to see Capt. Alexander. I went and saw Alex ander, and asked bint if he would let his small vessel. He said he would if we would get somebody to go in her, and get some sails to her. Litchfield told me to tell him we want ed the boat to go on an excursion about here. L went to Kockport with him to get a boat, but did not get any. I think this was about two weeks before the robbery. Litchfield got the team at Berry’s. Litchfield said lie wanted the boat for the men, who were coming, to stop in. I afterwards had conversation with Litchfield in relation to the robbery. I can’t state the words, but it was a out the bank. I received a* telegram the day before the men came, which 1 gave to Litchfield. Asa Black cave me the telegram. 1 was at dinner a: the time. I gave it to Litchfield soon atler at his store. It was open when I received it. I* roof of the contents of this telegram not admitted at this point, the respondent having sd notice to produce it and further time al lowed.] I »a» Moore and Hight next morning after getting the telegram, at my house, early. I took Hight and went to Union. At this point Mr. Jewett for respondent— to save introduction ot more testimony to prove the robbery by the principals—said that would not deny that tact, but denies that trie respondent was in any way accessory to Court ad.ouraed until to-morrow morning. STEAMER HERMAX.V BLOCKADED. ibe Sew lork Commercial Advertiser, September is j The blockade of the German Baltic ports having practically been raised by the depart ure of ie French fleet, the agents of the Bre men steamship line in this city, on the strength of instructions received per cable, made ar rangements to resume navigation. Orders we re accordingly given in the early part of the week to the officers of the steamer Her mann, laid up at the dock in Hoboken, to get their vessel ready tor sea. A heavy cargo was at once taken on board, the ship fully coaled, and everything being in readiness the time of departure was fixed for this morning. S withstanding the belief that the Hermann would have no trouble ia reaching a German pert, the trip wa> regarded generally as haz ardous, owing to the possibility of capture by French cruisers. A large crowd gathered upon the wharf at Hoboken, and when the s.gnal of departure was given, continued .beer* were given, and as ihe vessel slowly Sieved cut her flag was dipped as a farewell. The steamer proceeded down the- bay under gooi headway, and through the Narrows to randy H k. When off that point the sus picions of tiie officers were aroused by the ap pearance- in the offing of two inen-of-war. These crsit displayed no colors, but were at ont r set down for French gunboats lying in >ci to capture the Hermann if possible. A tsej consultation was held and it was deter mined to put back and wait a more favorable opportunity of proceeding to sea. The Her mann accordingly dropped anchor off quaran tine. where at la?: accounts she still remained. The names ot the gunboats are said to be the Bntomarte and Egreuiont. They are very f&‘t. though not heavily armed. It is said the gunboats lists been hovering off the coast for s-nse Ay#, awaiting the departure of German vesctls. Captain Ki. eemann of the Hermann '..m ev T*y confidence in the speed of his vessel, laid is txn»A>. is be- can only get out of Sandy Hot A turf well at sea, he can laugh at any at te.tujv. to ovt-rhasil him. The cargo of the E«mu eotisists of cotton. sugar and grain, writ a large ecpp’r of sanitary and liospital tiloJ ea. J» oast it* vessels up sue her, the gp, trail in flung overboard It is believed the Biui otnwu was the first of the hloekad ejs wi.jti. arrived in our waters. .She was i.oticed off Long Island several days ago but her real character was not suspected. Her consort joined her on Wednesday or Thurs day. Their presence, to ail intents and pur poses. as far a* German vessels are concerned constitutes a blockade of this port. This is the siew of the matter taken by the North German Consul at this port, and he has sent pi Washington a vigorous protest against what he considers a violation of international law, the French vessels lying within one league ot the shore. The agent of the North German I.lovds here at once telegraph' d to Baron Gerolt, the Prussian minister and Secretary Fish, informing them oi the condition of af fairs. No answer has yet been received. '1 his is only a beginning of a blockade. It is said that during the coming week a large French fleet, consisting of seven vessels, may he expected off the coast. It is reported already that another French vessel is off Mon tauk Point thus hermetically sealing our har bor against the departure of German vessels. There are a large number of German vessels ready to sail, hut, of course, their departure will now lie delayed. The Westphalia, of the Bremen line, is announced to sail next week hut she to, will be unable to get out. A good deal of excitement lias been created ill the eily over the subject, and it is a general topic of conversation. By remaining off the roast and not entering the harbor, the French ves sels avoid being subjected to a delay of per haps twenty-four hours after the departure of the enemy’s ship—a precedent that was fully established during the rebellion, when Ameri can cruisers were kept in English ports that length of time after the sailing of confederate vessels. In the year lT'.bi the British ship Grange was captured by a French frigate in Delaware Bay, and upon due complaint the American government caused the prize to be promptly restored. It is certainly somewhat novel to have the European war transferred as It were to our own doors, and further de velopment of the blockade will be awaited with much interest. A A' II PCULICA TJOXS. The second volume of Alexander II. Steph en’s “Constitutional View of the late War between tho States” is published by the Na tional Publishing Company. Mr. Stephens treats of the rebellion and its causes from a southern stand-point, and as a southern man w ho wns a part of the Confederate Govern ment naturally would. Of course, be argues that secession was right and that South Caro lina had good cause to fire upon and capture Sumpter, and that every step taken by the Confederacy afterwards was rightfully in self defence, lie casts the blame.for the war up on the North, contending that the Southern States should have been allowed to depart in peace. As the title implies, the work deals principally with theories and abstractions, and is more to be regarded for that than ns a narration of the events attending the war. The decision of the people of the United States in relation to tho Constitutiunal right of secession bas been written in blood, and will not be reversed, but probably the argu ments which Mr. Stephens make# for the “Lost Cause” are ns convincing as any that can be made, aud in their present form are de sirable for reference. There are many docu ments and bits of history connected with the war brought to light in ihe work, while the south-side view gives the other side of the picture of the rebellion. The book lias sev eral illustrations and is printed in a very ac ceptable manner. A prettily bound book comes to us bearing the title of “Amy Garnett,” and published by Andrew F. Graves, of Boston. The au thor is Percy Curtiss, who we think is no stranger in the city of Augusta, for her story opens at the Alms House in this place. Amy Garnett is a little girl of eleven years of ag> when she is taken from the Alms House and “bound out.” Her history is one of sharp struggle and earnest endeavor crowned hj success. It is an interesting tale, happily written, and is worthy the attention and peru sal of all our girls and boys. H. II. and T. W. Carter, of Boston, pub lish a small paper covered hook entitled “The Feminine Soul,” written by Elizabeth Strutt. It discusses the idea of sexuality in souls, which it decides in the affirmative, conclud ing. however, that the souls of male and fe male, though unlike, are equal, and then pro ceeds to show the difference between them. The task is a delicate one, but is thoroughly done, and the argument is interesting, and worthy of consideration. For sale by Clapp North.

VMPLE experience has shown the Dry Earth System to be more efficient in preventing toul smells, and far less costly in construction and re pairs than the Water Closet System; and that it is in all respects entirely satisfactory, whether lor the Sic k Room or for constant use. The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coun try. every benefit possessed by the Water Closet, at far less cost, with the additional advantages, that it is portable, and can be moved to the bedside in the sickroom. It promises more in immunity from offensive odors, from infection in di-ease, ’and in the saving of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by a -ingle invention. In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res ervoir are self-contained, and a movable pail takes the place of the vault. For use in Bed Rooms, Hospital Ward-. Infirm aric*. the Commode is invaluable. It is entire ly free from those faint, depressing odors, common to portable water closets and night stools, and through it*- admission one of the greatest miseries of human life, the foul smells ofthe sick room, and one of the most frequent means of communicating infection, mar be entirely prevented.

The Portland Press says there is more water flowing in the channel of the Presumpscot river at the present time than in the Penobscot and Kennebec togeth er.—Exchange. “How's that for high?” Why not include all the streams and rivers emptying into the Atlantic ocean Three men were gAinting Lynde's Hotel iu Rockland, standing' on a ladder slung by ropes, on Tuesday afternoon, when the lad der broke, precipitating two of the men to the ground. The other caught and held himself by a window. One who fell to the ground, Thomas Gettigan, is at the point of death, his skull being fractured. The other was injured in his hip. Two were the sons of John Karl, painter in Rockland. The Whig says that in June last the Com missioner of Fisheries employed Fruncis Blackman of Bradley to carry about a hun dred alewives, caught in the Penobscot river in Chimo, otherwise known as Leonard pond. There was a great deal of skepticism as to the result, and it waa quite uncertain until Sept. 11, when a large body of alewives was seen descending tiie stream into the Penobscot. In many places the fish were so plenty as to en tirely hide the bottom of the stream. They have grown very rapidly, hating attained, since they were hatched in June or July, a length of four inches and upward. Yesterday noon, while Mr. Frederick Crow ell, foreman in the Maine Farmer office, was engaged in the press room of that establish ment, he met with an accident that will dis able him for several weeks. The new Cot trell Babcock cylinder press wS*s in motion, and soma paper had caught on the inking rol lers. As Mr. Crowell attempted to pull the paper off, his right hand was caught by the rollers and his arm drawn between the rollers and the form of type, half way to the elbow, fairly stopping the press before the young man who was feeding it could do so by the ordinary machinery. Mr. Crowell's cries brought help from the counting room, but the roller gearing had to be unshipped be fore he could be relieved from his painful situ ation, Mr. Crowell enduring all the while the most excruciating suffering. His hand and arm were badly crushed, but l>r. Brickftt, who dressed his wounds, is confident that no bones were broken. It is very fortunate the press stopped before he was drawn under the cylinder. Foo* for lom Minds. We have before ua a copy of a “I'rimary Geography, arranged as a Heading Hook, with questions and answers attached," published in Haleigh, N. and used in southern schools, during the progress of the war, to teach the ‘‘jredng ideas bow to shoot.” It was pro cured by a gentleman from this city, who had some little “unpleasant controversies" with the children in that section ol a larger growth, who were in the habit of shooting something more dangerous than ideas. In this work the author has endeavored to simplify the study of Geography, and when she tells her young rea ders that “part of the surface of the earth is water and part land,” wo will begin to believe it. The young idee is taught that tho earth is round and turns round. “The reason we don't fall off the earth is that the earth draws us to it.” Spring comes once a year, accord ing to the best information of our geographer, although one year there happened to he two falls to the southern confederacy. “The trees blossom, the birds sing and build nests; men plow, and raise tobacco." “You could not drink seawater without making you sick.'' That is for very young readers who have never been to Boothbav. “Water is so use ful that man could not exist without. It bears ships up, anil forms the best drink in the world.” This idea, it must be borne in mind, was taught tho children of the south. It was quite novel. A portion of tho work dwells upon the races of men, and has this amusing paragraph on the African race “The African or negro race is found in Africa. They are slothful and vicious, but possess little cunning. They are very cruel to each other, and when they have war. they sell their priaoners to the white people for slaves. They know nothing of Jesus. The slaves who are found in America are in much better condition. They are better fed, better clothed, and better instructed than in their native country. These people are descend ants of Ham, tho son of Noah, who was cursed because he did not treat his fattier with re spect. That would seem a hard sentence, but it was probably done to show other chil dren how wicked it was to treat their parents so. IVe cannot tell how they came to be black and have wool on their heads." The poor little innocent* down south who have been permitted to “fondle” these poor heathen “with a club,” have “lienrd of Jesus,” but never were guilty of possessing many of hi* characterUtics. Here is the author s in teresting “history of the United States “The United States was once the must pros perous country in the world. Nearly n liun dredyears ago it belonged to England, but the English made such hard laws that the people said they would not obey them. After a long and bloody war of seven years they gained their independence, and for many years were pros perous and happy. In tho meantime both English and American ships went to Africa and brought away many of these poor hea then negroes and sold them for slaves. In a few years the northern Status finding their cli mate too cold for the nogro to be profitable, sold them to the people living farther south. Then the northern people began to preach, to lecture and to write about the sin of slavery Tho money for which they sold their slaves was now partly spent in trying to pursuade the southern States to send their slaves back to Africa. And when tho territories were settled they were not willing for any of them to become slaveholding. This would soon have made the north much stronger than the south; and many of the people said they would vote for a law to free all tho negroes in I the country. The southern men tried to show them how unfair this would be, but still they kept on. In the year 1SG0 the Abo litionists became strong enough to elect one of their men for President. Abraharu Lincoln was a weak man, and the south believed he would allow laws to be made which would deprive them of their rights. So the south ern States seceded and elected Jefferson Davis for their President. This so enraged President Lincoln that he declared war, and 1ms exhausted nearly all the strength of the nation in a vain attempt to whip the south back into the Union. Thousands of lives have been lost but still Abraham is unable to conquer the 'rebels,' as he calls the south.” After this truthful bit of history to disabuse 1 the Southern mind of which it will take years of 1 missionary effort, we have this picture of the ‘‘Southern Confederacy “These States lie south of the United States, and possess a warmer climate. A I large portion of tlie country lies on the sea coast and is level and sandy. The confeder ate States possess few ships, and her cities do not grow so fast as if there was more com merce. This is a great country. The Yan kees thought to starve us out when they sent their ships to guard our seaport towns; but we have learned to make many things, to do without many others, and above all to trust in the smiles of the God of battles. The south ern people are noted for being high-minded and courteous. [They never stole any guns or U. 8. arsenals 1] Much of the work is done by slaves. These are generally well used, and often have as much pocket money ns their mistresses. The southern confeder acy is at present a sad country, but President Davis is a good and wise man.” We are informed that Richmond is the capital of the confederacy. “President Davis resides there, and congress meets thereto make laws.” It proved to poor Davis like a “moving tent,” and the members of Congress undoubtedly thought that here they were but as “pilgrims and strangers.” “The people of South Caro lina.” says the geography, “are noted tor their chivalry. You do not understand this, children? Well, when any one imposes upon them, their motto is to fight.” Louisiana “produced the gallant Beauregard, the gen eral whose name is familiar in even- house hold.” We are not informed what State pro duced the mineral waters of the pond in which he resolved at one time to water his horse. Arkansas “has suffered terribly dur ing the war. The enemy have ravaged nearly the whole of it, and the wrongs of the people are heart-rending. But there is a God of ven gence, and ere long these sufferers will be i avenged.” In speaking of the sufferings of the people of Tennessee, the fair author ven tures a burst of Southern patriotism “Many hard battles have been fought here during the war for independence. But though she is oppressed now, and suffers much, no one fears for Tennessee. She is nobly doing her part, and when the war is ended she will t»e one of our best States. Many pure spirits are praying for peace and if we all humble ourselies as we should, we shall soon be (blessed with the glorious news—Peace! Peace!! Peace!!! O, who will not appreci- I ate Peace when it conies." But we cannot dwell at greater length upon the rich lessons of history found within the lids of this little* volume. The other day we gave an extract from a western paper, the editor of which had seen a copy of the work. In addition we give the following questions and answers from the appendix, as food for young minds: V- In wlmt division of the western conti- I nent do you live? A. In the southern confederacy. •J.

The Feeling of England Favorable to France. TIIE HORRORS OF STRASUOLHG. Montmody Captured after a Des perate Resistance. The Orleans garrisou evacuate the City and full back on Tours. FORMATION OF NEW ARMIES TO HARRASS THE PRUSSIANS DUR ING THE SIEGE OF PARIS. Troop* muttering in the principal cities in France. London. London. Sept. 28. The city of Stras bourg surrendered to the Prussians yester day afternoon at live o’clock. The rejection of nil peace propositions by Count Bismarck, the statement of Jules Favre that Prussia intends to reduce the re public to a third rate of power, the evident determination of conquests, the alleged un exampled barbarity ol the Germans to French people, cause a serious apprehension through out England, which now leans in sympathy toward France. Private cypher telegrams are now rapidly passing between Earl Granville and the Prussian and Austrian governments. A cabinet meeting has been called to-day to consider the propriety of immediate inter ference. Darmstnd. Darmstad. Sept. 28. A despatch received in this city at five o’clock on Mondoy after noon. announces that the privations and sutferingi of the besieged at Strasbourg liad assumed «o dreadful a character, that the veteran Gen. Ulrich was compelled to sur render to the enemy. Gn the entrance pf the General ar.d officers commanding info the city, the spectacle that met their gaze was most harrowing. Namur. Namur, Sept. 2s. A despatch hns been re ceived ibis aliernoonwitlia similar announce ment at Luxemburg, reporting that the Prus sians have captured Montmedy after a des perate resistance. Tours. Tours. Sept. 27. The garrison which oc cupied Orleans quietly evacuated that city yesterday, and are retreating in the direction of this point. The' retreating party will in all probability sale-ly reach here, as their march is not harrassed by the Prussians. Londou. London, hept. -t>. I he citizens of Mez ieres and Charlville are fugitives. Many have been welcomed by Belgium. The cause of the hegira is the threatened bombardment of those towns by the Prussians. Special to N. Y. Sun Everywhere on the way Irom Paris the roads are covered with soldiers and recruits for the army de la Loire, which is in the way of formation at Tours, and another at l)ur lione, under Gen. Cluzert, which is about to he organized. From Marseilles to Lyons these two armies will harrass the Prussians during the siege. This is certainly the last hope ot France. The people are more ener getic and resolute than in other parts of France, and they have assumed the direction of their own affairs. The municipal Council ycJterday unani mously elected Gen. Cluzert Commander-in Chief of the army of the Khine. He advises the people to raise by taxation 30,Ot>0,000 francs, tor organizing the army, and if the money is granted he will accept command. The Prefect telegraphs daily with Paris, and the mails arrive regularly. We have received by baloon about SOU letters from Bazaine’s soldiers, saying they will wait until fair weather belore moving. 1 think the Prussians are now in very bad condition. There are GOO.000 persons under arms in Paris. Everywhere the people are anxious to fight. Two new armies being formed on the flank of the enemy, and their determination on the part of the people, to treat as traitors all who dare speak of compromising with Prus sia. The British cabinet meets Friday, to con sider the question of intervention. The Prussian Corvitte Bertha sunk in the Euxive, utter a protracted engagement with three French frigates. Troops in Poland are reported to have been strengthened in consequence of sym pathy of the Poles with France. Advices from Tours represent confidence and enthusiasm prevails among the people and troops, hut impartial observers do not support these statements. 1 roups are mustering at the principal French cities unoccupied by the Prussians, and large bodies are moving up from tbe south. English Journals are tilled with re ports o! military movements in different parts of France. The provisional correspondence of Berlin says France vainly hopes to convert the de feat into victory. Further carnage would therefore he vain and impious. There is great rejoicing throughout tier many over the capture of Strasbourg. The new lioman government announces an appropriation of lifty millions to defray expenses of the inauguration of Uomc, as the capital ot Italy. The enthusiasm of the inhabitants is boundless, and the plcbiscitum is expected to be unanimous. The Pope will probably leave Home as soon as the result is ilcclar^l. Special to N. V. Times. London, Sept. 28. The fall of Strasbourg is considered to make but little difference in the question as to the power of resistance of France. Everything terms on the ability of Paris to defend Itself for three months. That time maintained, the Prussinns will never retain a fort iu the French territory. The whole country is rising in arms. The statement in the London Times to day, that M. Thiers is cMpoweded to oiler the Russian government full latitude of con quest in the east, as price of intervention in the Franco-Prussian war. Is utterly unfound-1 ed, were Russia so disposed, sin- deairea n» 1 consent from France who 1 forceless. The l*ru?sians oceupamm ui \/r leans renders the removal of the government Imperative. It Is doubtless where they will go. To Toulouse there are objections sug gested by Prim's continued negotiations with Bismarck, and its contiguity to the Spanish frontier. PROM BOSTON. Boston, Sept. 23. Speech of Gen. Banks. General Banks spoke in Prescott Hall, in Charlestown to-night, on the political issues of the day. He said the disturbance In Eu rope, where republics arise in un hour, coup led with our own affairs, give renewed inter est in the future career of the American gov ernment. There had been no time when ex isting parties were more independent of the past than now. Every State had its Republi can government within the union. All doubts were dispelled and discussion dismissed. A marvel to the Monarchies of Europe. He claimed to speak for the Republican party in its most liberal aspect. Judging by its record there was no question it ltad grappled but had been decided wisely and for ihe benefit of the people. Taxation he considered the upper most subject in the minds of Totcrs. The sys tem was not perfect and required time on the part of the musses in contra-distinction to summary edicts of imperialism. The reduc tion in the past year had been eighty millions, and he said he w as in favor of a further re dnetion, especially in the income tax, which was the most onerous. The expenses of the government had been lessened from three hundred millions to one hundred and five millions, with the exception of pensions to soldiers and widows, made by tlie war. He felt himself bound to aid in still further lessening yearly outlay. The business of the country lie admitted was stagnant, ow ing to the burdens imposed. When perma nent provision was made for the payment of debt, business would revive. The labor question was alluded to as a problem that had puzzled the crowned heads of Europe. Congress two years ago passed an eight hour law to apply to government em ployees, for the purpose of testing the effect of the reduction in hours of labor, though op posed by law, officers of the government and heads of departments. The placing of shoul der-straps over mech nics in government workshops, was alluded to in no measured terms, and the speaker promised that no in fluence of his should be wanting to re-enact the law in that regard, which was lost during the late war. Many of the accomplishments of the Re publican party were enumerated, among them tile recognition from foreign governments ot the rights of naturalized citizens to the U. S. while visiting countries of their nativity. The black cloud of Asiatic immigration, he said, could not he looked upon without alarm, and future legislation would tend to guard the country from impending danger. He spoke an hour anil appeared in harmony with his Chartestown constituents. President Grant did not leave Boston until 3 P. M to-day. He will remain at Hartford to-night. FROM NEW YORK. Xew Yoke, Sept. 28. Admiral Furragut’a Funeral. The Farragut funeral Committee of Board of Aldermen, decided to-day in answer to a letter of Mayor Sliurtleffof Boston, that dele gates representing other cities will be rcce’d and assigned positions in the cortege. The preparations for the obsequies are proceeding satisfactorily, and the display will be more imposing than any since the Lincoln funeral procession passed through this city. The ceremonies will be conducted according to strict naval etiquette, and the remains will be borne from the landing on Canal St. to the Harlem depot on the shoulders of sailors who formerly served under him. The Brooklyn Navy Yard will be closed on Friday. Railroad Matters. 'J he test ease from a large number pending at 1 att rson, N- J., against the Erie Railroad Co. tor recovery for overcharges, and other demands on freight, has been decided in favor of the Company. Chas. C. Leigh, the anti-dram-shop candi date for Lieut. Governor, publishes a card exhonorating Gen. Woodford from the charge that the French Cable Co. paid him 85,000 for lobbying their charter through the Legislature of this State. He says the lobby through the whole atlair is quixotic, and that it would amount to nothing. President Roye of Liberia sailed for Eng land this afternoon. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, Sept. 28.

IMPORTANT FACTS! For the Public. NEW EASTERN DEPOT FOR THE WORLD RENOWNED SINGER. SEWING MACHINES. Opposite the Post Office, AUGUSTA, MATTTE. These Machines, by their simplicity, durability, and (he gre at range of w ork'they execute, nave gained a reputation, truly enviable. The famous success of the singer Manufactur ing Company has stimulated many other compan ies to put forth all their energies and taiepts to produce a sew ing machine that would eclipse or equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig nally tailed, as Is plainly shown by the met, that of all the travelling agents—“runners or, drummers” —of other companies, none have the assurance to lairn more than an equality with the Singer, eveR upon any special class of work. There are many sewing machines, now offered to the public, that have their good points, and are of much assistance to the housewife and the industri ous seamstress. Parties purchasing a sewing ma chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and pleasing, that they are naturally, but erroneously, led to believe that they have the best* until (be spuli is broken by the introduction of the Singer of 1070 into a neighbor’s family, which is sure, ny the ta creaseti rapidity and ease w ith w hich it does every kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to a positive, although it may be silent acknowledge incut of the painful truth that there are very many varieties of work that are easily executed upon tho Singer, hut that they must either be content to do w ithout, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri fice, their curved-ueedled, frail-powered, unrelia ble-ten sioned, low speeded or ravel-stitcbed ma chine for a Singer .Setc Family Machine. Various expedients arc resorted to, that tho pub lic eye may be turned from the Singer for tho asur pose of introducing inferior machines—viz, “Tho Button-Hole Dodge,” “The Over-Seaming,” “The Double-Lock-Knot-Stitcb.” “.Elastic 8titob.” “Twist ed Loop,” “Self-Adjusting Tensions,” “FlingFinish and Beautifully Ornamented,” “Straight Needle,” “Stitch- Uike-ou-both-SIdes,” “Medals from Fairs,” “Vertical Feed Bara,” “Noiseless Running,” ‘‘SUent Feed,” and last and worst of all, the low-priced— “Family Shuttle Machines.” Many of these point* are deairnble, (and tho Singer excel is all in each individual speciality) but the greatest use made of these special point*, toby tiie retail agent w ho parades theta before the inex perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest ftyle, as to entirely divert attention from the really important bearings of the case. While other 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 swindle customers who cannot afford to squander their substance upon gilded follies and worthless rattle-traps. Parties in quest of a Sewing Machine should took about them and learn w hat machine is most exten sively used in families, tailor shops, shoe factories, and carriage factories. It is an acknowledged fact, irecly admitted by all sewtng machine dealers, that more than tiro-thirds of all the clothing worn in (Ms country by both sexes, whether custom made or ready made, is actually manufactured upon TUK 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. w hieh are kept in constant operation “day and night,” none but highly skilled mechanics are employed. Newly improved machinery ie em ployed turning oiit each part finished to that me chanical exactness, that every one is a perfect du plicate of the other in size, weight and finish. All new inventions are carefully examined and tested, and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex pense, w hile the many impractical humbugs that are patented, are left to grace some new wander and learn, the purchaser when too late, that lie 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 apo. They never buv editorial notices, or expend funds in “log-railing” at Fairs to gain medals or premiums. They simply make their Machines as valuable as money and science can perfect them—place them in their Sales Booms, and leave the Mfafcc to find out their virtues in their own way. By this straight forward course they are now manuiacturing about four hundred per ilav, and at that rate, even, are unable to supply the demand. WHAT IS THE NEW FAMILY SINGER OF ISTOt It Is the concentrated result of twenty #s* perience in building Sewing Machines. It uses very short straight needles. It makes the Shuttle or Lock-Stitch alike upeu both sides of the work. It is very light running and has a silent feed. It is very easily kept clean, and U always la order.

The prices named above, are the cash prices at the Manufactory, but knowing that the various cir cumstances of all will not admit of the rigid C. O. I), 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 natron, ns no extra charge is made from tho regu lar cash prices. No charge for instructions in operating the Sing er’s upon any class of work.
