The entire .strength of the German armies now in France, including all reinforcements sent forward up to the 10th of October amounts, on paper, to -ix hundred and lifty thousand men ; of these there wore actually fit for du ty at that date 520,000 men. These are divided into thirteen Prussian army corps, ini hiding the so-called .Sileaian corns, one raxonv army corps, two Bavarian army corps, one YVurteinbiirg division and one Baden diston united under one corps commander, and seven Landwehr di visions, there being in the whole of Germany, actually under arms and available to replace the losses of the armies in France, to do coast guard duty and to maintain order through out the country, no more than two hundred and lifty thousand men.

Chateau Dun was capturec"1 last night by the Prus sians, after a siege lasting from noon until ten o'clock at night. It was de fended by troops of the national Guard, and nine hundred franc tereurs who retired disputing every inch of ground. The Piussian force was K,000, and were well supplied with ar tillery. No official news whatever has been received from the two armies now confronting each other near Orleans. It is understood the French are slow ly falling back and the Prussians seem to be falling back toward Or leans, thus defeating the plan of the French General to draw them on. Tours is full of French troops jnst ar rived. A band of Irish and Ameri can volunteers has just arrived here, and are marching through the streets carrying the American and French Hags. Kigltt cf a.

They evac uated the town so precipitately that they ha not time to blow up the bridge across the Loire, which they had already mine.

A dispatch from Berlin, dated 9 o'clock last evening, says the terms of tlie capitulation or the fortresses and garrison of Metz have been agreed up on at Prussian headquarters at Ver sailles, between the French General Royer and King William. The following are the conditions under which the capitulation is made: Marshal Bazaine to'sign a treaty of peace between France and Prussia as the plenipotentiary of Emperor Na poleon ; Marshal Bazaine's army is to -bo disarmed, but to remain at Metz. Napoleon's son, the 'Prince Imperial is to ascend the throne of France, and Marshal Bazaine to be nominated Regent. The receipt of the terms of Metz, and the mospective return of peace, has produced a tremendous excite ment in this city. The intensest feel ing prevades all circles, particularly the ytock Exchange, where an unus ually great business was transacted to-day. Ilourljnlti's Iteftixiil to Command tile Army of tlie Xioirc. London, Oct. 20. The Morning Telegraph has reason to believe that Bourbaki's refusal to command the beaten army of the Loire was due to a very natural feel ing, that his offer to command the army of the North is considered a sub terfuge, as that army is not likely to be formed at all. The conduct of the Germans in Orleans, according to Prussian account3, is very different from that ascribed by the French. The were perfectly orderly and the occupation was unattended by any violence or exaction. CUlna Punisliintr tlioqe Guilty of Out raging tlie French. London, Oct. 20.

Tlie Prussians Itctuniliipr to Pnrls. Tours, October 20. The Prussians are returning toward Paris without sacking battle with the French forces on the right bank of the Loire. The Prussians are still in peaceful occupation of Orleans. Ow ing to their great losses at Chateau Dun the Prussians nearly destroyed that town by fire. At Chateau d' Neuf, where the Prussians attacked and were beaten off, they took re venge by exacting heavy contribu tions of money The inhabitants paid the sum, heavy as it was, within lifty thousand francs, and the Ger mans then evacuated the place, but tnieaicueu ro return soon and collect the balance or burn the town. The best answer to tlie Prussian dispatch es, saying their loss was trifling be fore Paris on the loth on the occasion of a sortie of the French, is found in the ollicial military report just pub lished showing that after the battle the Prussians demanded a truce of five hours in order to bury thtir dead. Another Battle at Pnrla. Tours, October 20. Dubost, delegate from the Govern ment at Paris to Toms, who landed in a balloon at Rocroy, yesterday, brings the news of another engage ment near Paris. It began in the morning at Hautes Bruges and lasted three hours. Jt was rot.umed in the .afternoon a"d terminated after three hours' more lighting. The Prussians, who attached in both actions, were repulsed with heavy loss. Boston, Oct. 20. General Butler was re-nominated for Congress, to-day in the Fifth Dis trict, with but oiie opposing vote.

We do not recollect that the Union Pacific litis every done anything quite so handsome for the editorial fraternity of tiiisState Oma ha Republican. We, too, fail to recollect of hearing the matter suggested ! If reports are true from Richardson county, Judge llewett has not been faiilydealt with by his own party in that'eounty. It is reported that none of the Republican tickets had his name on them. Will the Journal furnish the desired information "? AdvLftiscr. There were three thousand live hun dred straight Republican tickets printed at this office with Judge Hewl ett's name on every one of them. These tickets were sent to prominent and staunch Republicans in every precinct in the county. On reaching home at S o'clock p. m., Monday evening, we found that four precincts in the extreme western portion of the county were not sup plied with the straight ticket- We immediately employed two men to ride twenty-five miles that night with the tickets, and before the polls were open next morning thote pre eincts had tlie "regular tickets. The report referred to by the Ad vertiser is entirely without founda tion. JXanaha Valley Journcl. The explanation of the Journal is quite satisfactory to us, and, we pre sume, will be to Judge Hewitt, and we with pleasure give it place in our columns. j' The Nebraska City Chronicle of yes terday contains the following items: Rev.

Tltc Exliiliitiou To-day. Hundreds of People Asscmliled to "VVlt licas tlie Performance. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, as per published no'tice in the Herald, the It. R. Steamer "President" steamed out from her Main street landing, loaded with ladies and gentlemen, who desired to witness the experi ment of Mr. Merriman with his new patent Life Preserver. The boat was filled with spectators, and hundreds were left upon the shore, unable to secure passage. The boat proceeded toher upper landing on the Iowa side, where Mr. Merriman proposed to en ter tlie water. The deck was cleared front of the capstan, and Mr. M. pro ceeded to equip himself for the watery voyage. He divested himself of his great coat, hat and boots, and pro ceeded to put on his apparatus over his remaining clothing, The "life preserver," complete, consists of a suit of gum clothes joined at the waist so as to be water tight. Tlie body is completely covered, the only aperture being an open space for the face, with close fitting rubber to proven t the water getting in. The apparatus is double mid is inflated by means of rubber tubes. It takes about four minutes to put on the suit, and when all was complete Mr. Merriman lit his cigar, waved an adieu to the crowd, wished them a happy and safe voyage back to Plattsmouih, walked out on the projected gang plank over the turbid waters of tlie "old muddy," turned upon his back, gave his cigar a vigorous puff, and was floating oft as leisurely as though ho was lying on a feather bed at home. He has a pair of paddles with which to propel himself when desirable. Ho made the trip to the foot of Main street in just thirty-live minutes from the time he entered the water, a distance ot full three miles, lie can propel him self through the water at the rate of about two and a half or three miles an hour. Arriving at the foot of Main street he walked out on shore, pulled on his boots, hat and coat, without a single drop of the old mud dy having penetrated his clothing, lie came out not only dry but perfect ly comfortable. All who witnessed the test were more than satisfied that Merriman's life preserver is the best thing of the kind in existence. We see no reason why a man could not live a week in the water with one of thesosuits, if he onl. had a supply of food a: d fresh water which can be carried in a water-proof Plaitsmouth Herald. knapsack. The Omaha ITcrald of the 19th says : Generals Augur and Ruggles return ed from their western trip on Monday evening, after an absence of two weeks. The object of their visit was to inspect Forts Laramie and Fetter man, and ascertain fioni personal ob servation the condition of the troops in that section. They found every thing in good order, and report that the soldiers have most excellent win ter quarters. After reaching Chey enne, they accompanied Generals Sherman and Scholield to Denver, and afterward returned to Cheyenne, and took an escort and proceeded over the plains to Fort Laramie. They readied this post just as the great council between the Commissioners and the chiefs of the Sioux had con cluded. From Laramie the party continued their march" to Fort Fetter man, where they were joined by an other company of cavalry, returning by way of Medicine Bow. On this march a herd of 1,000 elk was seen, quite a number of which were killed by the "Boys in Blue." Another herd of about 200 was seen at a dis tance, and pursued, but the sagacious animals kept clear of rifle-range, and escaped unhurt. Among the con quests of the march, however, were numbered a grizzly bear and two cubs, and any quantity of (leer and antelope. No buffaloes were seen, but the wolves howlod about the camps at night, evidently deeply re gretting their inability to "chaw up" our generals and subordinates.

The trip was one of considerable excitement, and General Ruggles is enthusiastic over the gran deur of the scenery. On Sunday morning last, several of our citizens residing on Shell Creek, who have been greatly annoyed of late by the depredations of a moun tain lion, gave chase to the ravenous beast, running him for fourteen or fifteen miles, but doing him no inju ry other than putting two shots in conveniently close to the animal's hide. It is said to have destroyed quite a number of calves on Shell Creek. The animal, us described to us, is about six feet long, one foot wide, and in height equal to a very large dog. Our informant, Mr. Aleyer, says that he is back again this morning (Mon day) and that preparations are being made for another chase. Columbus Journal.

CIIEMISTRY Chemistry is the science of anatomy and originated in the loth century with the renowned Paracelous. This man was more occupied in making onslaughts on the long-received doc trines of "Galen," rendering to us an intelligible idea of his extravagant hypothesis; which was based on the fact, that the human frame is govern ed by the same chemical laws as in animate matter, and that all vital acts are explicable by these laws. In one disease the blood was said to be effervesing, in another too acid, again too alkaline, fermenting, putrecent, sulphurous, &o. These doctrines were in a flourish ing condition with a few variations, and improvements until late in the seventeenth century, and are graced by the names of Sylvius, Willis and Sydenham, superceeded These doctrines by mathematical were doc- , and Pisa. trin es, which began with Borell here continued by Bellini, of He claimed that gravitation and chem ical agencies were fully capable of explaining the phenomena of health and disease. Von Heltnont was educated in the Chemical school in the year 1020, from which there arose a sect of what was termed Vitalists. He could not divest himself entirely of the truth there imbibed, and thus the science of Chemistry suffered long, and yea it suffered many wrongs by a wrong perception of its fundamental princi ples and true base. Chemistry does not only investigate the properties of atoms, but the rela tion which they sustain to each oth er, and the influence which certain forces have upon them, and here we have two capital divisions of the sub ject; the history and science of mat ter, and the power and influence of force. Matter is supposed to consist of minnimuni particles or atoms, sep arated from each other by a medium called Ether, and possesses impene trability, gravity, porosity and inde structability. AMiilo force, on the other hand, is- convertible into the evolution of heat, light, electricity, or molecular disturbance. These depend to a great dogree upon the application of force. Of tlie Chemical forces we know nothing, except by their action on matter, wnicn win either attract or repel. The atom of the Chemist is the force surrounded by the atmos phere, or an envelope of ether, and is subjected to various actions. Years SillCe tho torm iipoixlorllu xi'iio tiootl to designate heat, light and electrici ty, but it has of late been abrogated. All matter has weight and exerts force or pressure. This pressure is termed gravity, it is developed to a great extent in bodies of large bulk or size, such as sun, earth and planets, and the specific gravity is the weight of tlie body as Compared to its bulk. Water is taken as a standard in sol ids and liquids ; air in gasses and va- pors ; the specmc gravitation oi wa ter being one, and that of air being one also, from this we obtain the spe cific gravity of the varjons Chemical compounds. The next subject which we will consider briefly is heat and caloric : these are terms which are often used indiscriminately, but they were used originally to designate things of (lif erent ciioracters ; caloric being a name given to the agent producing the phenomena of heat, and heat to the effects so produced as tho expan sion Of bodies, and the power and sensation of warmth. The heat pro duces an-effect equal to 100 degrees of the thermometer, at one foot will produce, but of litis effect at 2 feet, i att feet, 1-10 at 4 feet, and so on. This law is true for all central forces, or those which flic effect lessons with the distance as light, heat, gravity, itc. The inlcrogative'has often come up, which'produces the most heat, green wood or dry wood. To this we would answer that dry wood undoubtedly produces the most heat ; for tho green must have the water evaporized be fore making much heat, and, there fore, absorbs 1000 of heat. Hicory produces the most heat, beach next, and then maple, and then coal.- Sol id bodies when heated to 900 produce I light, whilst gasseous bodies may be heated even to a higher degree with out producing tlie same result. The study of heat divides itself into four distinct divisions, namely: Expan sion, radiation, specific heat and la tent heat. Expansion is the increment in size which elementary bodies undergo, by additions of heat, and takes .place with immense force; thus, by taking a bottle and filling it with water, then dropping in a drop of ether" and apply boiling water, you will see the force of expansion, it will drive the water all out by expansion; it also effects the pendulem, causing it beat slower as it becomes heated. You see a beautiful illustration of expansion at the blacksmith shop. The tire being heated, when adjusted to the wheel, contracts upon the felloes as it is cool ed, binding them firmly together. Alcohol expands by heat 1-9, iron ex pands, when heated, at tho rato of 1 ton to the square inch, liquids expand more than solids or gasseous bodies. More Anon, S. W. McGrrw, M.
