The base of ojcrations for thcVivju U ar

atThionvillcand Southwest of S:ra-".nr.:at
Colniar, oratBelfort, if the crJile teicynifiis
are correct. As regards Belfort, however, it
docs not seem possible that the right wing of
Marshal McMahon can Ik? Iccaled m far
South, tlic town being not less than icventy
miles from Strasburg, and i, in fa-i, It- :i
defen-ive jKi-itioii from ii.vasion from ( ier

But admitting Belfor to ic the extra-.!

fortified places, v. hieh the army covers : lie
ginning at Belfort, tlie line rims in an Ivast
northeat direction a di-taricc of twenty
miles to Mulhw-c, or Mnlliau-Hjn; thence
Northeast for anotl or twenty miles to Nenf
Brisach, where it takes, .a 1't.rthcriycoarjc
for thirty mile to .:rasburg. Continuing
North it first strikes Hagiicn&u some seven
teen miles distant, and reaches the angle
at Liuterlcrg, eighteen miles ui-tait
to the northeast. Here the line make
a sharp turn, and runs algng
the I.auter river to Wi;nhurg, nine-mile
northwcs,. of Laulerhur7. Continuing west
liy south, and concipic:itIy forming a digres
sion, it next nice to Bitehe, some twenty-tvo
miles off, continues westward for some f-fty-eight
miles to Mctz, then turns to the north
and goes up to Thiomillc, a dfcamv of
seventeen mile, where it ends. - This w:ld
give a total of till miles for the military.!!:-.'-:

To thr JlUor t.f Tlie Timri:
It is well known that human depravity
has pied beyoml the imagination of the in
tellect in the person., of the members ofthe
Black Bob ring. His Satanic Majesty him
self mu-t stand appalled at the deviltry they
are capable of accomplishing, or attempting.
The headquarter of the outfit have lecn re
moved from iJe'Soto to Olathe, and there
they have cstabliilied a regular Black. Bob
land agency. Uon going into . it one is
-tricken with a feeling of awe," and he almost
imagines that he can smell the sulphurous
fumes wliich ri-c from the precincts of the
infernal region.
Connected with thi- Iand are, at leat, two
members of our present Congressional dele
gation Messrs. Clarke and I'omeroy. They
do the dirty jro'rk in Congress and at the de
partments; and, as an instance of thN, the
following may be cited. I have not yet seen
it stated in print. Jimmy Christian is my
authority: Patents were once made out
for a portion, or all of these
"lan'ds, and were placed in the hands of Sid
ney Clarke for delivery, who brought them
on and kept them for two months in a brick
house jn the southern part of town, and kept
his possession of them, also, as nearly a se
cret as possible. Soon the ring succeeded in
their manipulations of the departments at
Washington, ""' 'Ac thnt i-"rc rtrtU(d.
Now, what did Mr. Clarke sav? Thai he hnd
fiiryutlen than! Certainly nothing has ever
gone beyond that in this world.
The settlers on these lands hold a meeting
at Olathe on the 27th of this month where
Mr. Clarke is invited to appear and explain
his conduct. Had they not I letter have
Capt. Christian, of Lawrence, there too, to
help explain Mr. Clarke's difficulty?

r J' (t'niu the divasu Trit.imt:.
Tlie Bcv. Mr. Fulton, from Boston ha
delivered a tirade in Chicago to prove that
the soul of Charles Dickens is in hell, lie-eau-e
he drank wine when living,and had not
faith. Christ says to Mr. Fulton, "Judge
not, that ye be not judged, for with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to
you again." 'It wonld not lie a very wide
departure from the Fulton logic to argue
that, for the offence of "judging" Charles
Dickens into hell, Mr. Fulton will himself
go there. There is'inpre of the inculcation
of tenderness, love, fidelity 'to duty, compas
sion for weakness, sympathy with suffering,
in the life-work of Charles Dickens, tlian in
that of any other man of this century. This
may, or may not, make him a Christian, ac
cording as tlie latter term may be variously
defined. But if hell is the future
abode of such generous and spirit
ual. woikers as Charles Dickens, while
Heaven is the arena for the display of the
ecclesiastical coxcombry of the Rev. Fulton,
then commend as to the former, rather than
the latter. Mr. Fulton finds no evidence, in
Dickens's life, of his repentance. Bcpcntance
for what? Keiientaucc for drinking wine,
and thi, too, on the pretended authority of
the Bible ? Was not Christ's first miracle
wrought to make wine, in order that a festive
company might have no lack of it? Docs
not Solomon command, "Give wine to him
that i- heavy-hearted, and strong drink to
them that are in trouble. Let them drink, for
get'theirwrrows, and rcmemlier their mls
crie'.sjio more ?" a precept, Kr!unw, more
honored in the breach than in the observance.
Wc doubt whether Dickens ever drank to the
point of intoxication alxivc commended, Imt,
if hodkl, and mut go into endless tor
ment, foe it, then will he meet there
in goodly company Noah, David, Solomon,
and others who make sonic figure in Bible
history. Paul, under the full light of Chris-
j tianity, -tells Timothy to "drink no longer
water, out take a little wine for thy stomachs
sake and thine often infirmities." Christ
placed --wine as the emblem of his bipod, in
sacred association with bread, tlie emblem of
Ins Ixxly, as one of the elements of the Chris
tian sacrament. The sentiment of total ab
stinence is taught in the Koran and in the
revelations of Joe Smith, but not in the Bible.
Among Christians it datta lock scarcely one
century, and is confined to a corner, coiiiiar
atively, of the,. Christian Church. It. is
-preached as a sentiment by some excellent
Christians, but it is no more a part of Chris
tianity than woman's rights, free trade, pro
tection or universal suflhiee. Dickens cannot
bo condemned on any Bible standard for
the nc ot wme, except ly that class ofthco
logians who absorb their dogmas through
the pores of their skin, from whatever fan
cies hapjicn for the hour to float on the cur
rtnl of Hib!ic opinion, and then Use the Bi
ble as a hammer and anvil when it agrees
with their fancies, and as fuel when it does
not.
From the following humorous illustration,
wc infer that Charles Die-ken, in Kev. Mr.
Fulton's estimation, must have gone to hell
"" want of faith, a well a- for drinking
"Christ himself dc-erilK-s Dive and Laz-
ar.w. One liail ins goou iiuiiks in him ihc
j fame, fortune, luippiness. The other was a
leggar. 1 lie cunains aiv um. vnei 111
hell, crving for a dnjp of water to cool his
pnreheA tongue. The other is in the bonom
of Abraham. The gulf divides them, btcaiise
uncdiol in faith, and one died without faith."
Christ never told u that Dives died with
out faith, or that Lazarus died with faith.
He never hinted, in the remotest manner,
that" that was the rea-on why the one was in
hell and the other in Abraham's bosom.
That explanation is imported into the case
I iv Kev. Mr. Fulton, for the purpose of send
ing Cltarlcs Dickens to keep company with
Dives and with this addition, Uiat Charles
Dickens went to hell because his faith was
not the same as that ofthe Bev. Mr. Fulton.
There are two kinds of persons over whose
spiritual condition Christ tells us that the
one sinner that repent cth," and the second
is the "ninety and nine just men that need
no rciicntancc" 3Ir. Fulton has doulrtlcss
nlisorbed through his pores the saving
truth tliat there is no such class as the
latter whicli Clirist speaks of a if it were
numerous. Herein the disciple places
himself above his Master. But we prefer to
believe with Christ that there i. And if
there is, wc know of none who could more
hopefully be numbered b each a class thai
one whose moral influence was so good, that
the pulpit are rare and fortunate, indeed,
wliich are served by a spirit "o loving, rc
fonuatorjrand tender.

Tlie time hevin arrived tn besu- prepara

tlie tall campane wuz actooly began. The
General Committee for the "ibomted States
met three weeks ago in Noo York, and de
cided upon the tactix to be employed to

member uv the workin committee I know all
about it for I helped to execoot their orders.
Some time previous a cirkler hed bin

they mite be properly altered.
Wc found on liancf the following material:
4,000 banners and transparciicis, on wich
wuz jwinted hidjus nulc niggers, with the
iiiscrijishun below, "Xo sich husbands for
us!" all uv wich hed bin carried over wagon

4,000 banners and transjarencis onto wich
wuz painted ekally hidjus female niggers,
with the inskripshun, "Is sich ez thezc to lie

4,000 banners inskribed, "Xo nigger

In addishun to these wc bed some hundreds
uv thousands uv banners, transparencis anil

larts nv the country for revision and sich
alteration ez wood adapt them to present
yoosc. Some uv tliem jirotestid agin, drafts, ,
and taxashun to support the onliolv and 'ori
constitiishunal war, others demanded the re
ioo.liashun uv the Xashnel det, and there
wuz others too tcjus to mciishun.
The cliareman uv the committee under
stands the Dimocratic party better than eny
man livin, and he went at his arjus dooty
with clcar-headidnis I never saw ekelled.
"Send 1,000 uv the male nigger iran-par-cis,

"Where is our core uv artists?' heaskt.

banners must be keerfully jracked and sent
to our. committees in the Southern States,
where therd il beasts arc all voters, and
hold the balance uv jHiwer.
"It shell be dun," sed the artists amazed

The murder of Mr. Benjamin Nathan in
New York promises now to take a tbtemost
rank among the mutes tdtbrt of the country.
A deed of blood, however horrible, Ioaca
much of its absorbing interest when the per
petrator is readily ascertained and promptly
arrested; but when, cither through a coni
tination ofcircumatances, or the exercise of
a devilish ingenuity, the criminal manages
to cover hU tracks" so completely as to baffle
all inve-tigation, and veil the awful transac
tion in impenetrable mystery, the public mind
almost loses sight of the crime itself in an in
tense desire to know the author of it. That

house, in tbe most fashionable quarter of a
great metropolis, while four persons, at
least, were under the same roof with him,
and the assassin escape, leaving no damning
trace behind, is indeed jtassing strange,
though by no means unparalleled. "Within
the iast twenty years there have been two
case of murder, both of which created pro
found excitement throughout the country;
and both resembling in some resjiects the one
now under consideration. Dr. Geo. Park
man, a retired physician of wealth and high
social position residing in Boston, suddenly
disappeared from his home and was never
afterward seen alive. He was followed from
one accustomed liaunt to another by tlie
shrewdest detectives in the city, and
finally the fact was ascertained be
yond any donbt that at twelve o'clock
noon he entered the medical col
lege. Dr. John W. Welwter, a
profcssoi of chemistry in Harvard Univer
sity, a brother-in-law of Will tarn II. Pres
cott, the historian, and a life-long friend of
the missing man, stated frankly that Dr.
Parknian had called at his room in the col
lege about the time specified, spent a few mo
ments in the transaction of business, and
went away again. The apartments of Web
ster were searched, more lor form's sake than
through any suspicion of his guilt in the
matter, and finding nothing that gave
the slightest clue, investigations turn
ed elsewhere. But the single pregnant
rircnnrstaticc could not be overcome Dr.
Parknian was seen to enter the medical col
lege and never seen to leave it, or was heard
of afterwards. Still the unblemished char
acter of Webster, and his influential family
connections, blinded the eyes of the po
lice and the whole community with the ex
ception of one man, and that man was Lit
tlcne!', the janitor ofthe college. He did
not like Webster jartindarly, and prejudice
sharpened into suspicion. He watched
him carefully day and night, and filially
resolved to search one place which liad
lieeu overlooked by the officers. That
place was the vault beneath Webster's room,
to Iw reached only by digging through a
thick wall in the lower cellar of the build
ing. Procuring the necessary tools he prose
cuted the work after dark, made an aperture
sufficient to admit an examination of the
vault, and found there the mutilated re
mains of a man, but so completely cut to
pieces that recognition was impossible. Web
ster was arrested, yet there seemed to be no
evidence sufficient to convict; him at first, and
public symiMthy was strongly enlisted in
Ids favor. But a closer search of his labor
atory revealed other jsirtioas of a human
bpY, picked away in a box of tan
mif,anil in the ashes of the stove was dis
covered the blackened fragment of a gold
plate such as is used in insertion of (aI-h
teeth. That gold plate supplied the single
missing link of circunistaucial evidence.
Dr. Keep, a well known dentist of Boston,
swore ositivcly that he made the plate for
Dr. Parknian, and by evrtain private marks
was ab'e to recognize it beyond tlie posoibility
of a doubt. Webster was convicted and died
on the scaffold.
A closer resemblance to the Xath.in niiir
dcr may, however, be traced in the famous
case of Dr. Harvey Burdcll, of Xcw lork.
On the morning of January 31, 18-"7, a boy
who Usually chimed up the office went to the
doctor's 'rooiiH, Xo. 31 Bond street, about S
o'clock, and on ojiening the door found his
employer lying on the lloor dead, with fif
teen wounds in his liody, and upon the
throat unmistakable evidences of strangula
tion. The jiolicc were called and an inves
tigation commenced. Indications showed
that Dr. Burdeil could not have been long in
the apartment when the murder occurred.
His shawl was lying on the sofa, and he
was protably sitting near his case of dental
tends looking over some iapcrs, when the
assassin grappled him. There was blood on
the papers, but the final death struggle must
have taken place near the door, where the
wall wa deluged by a stream of gore
from the severed jugular. Il was
proved at the inquest that a Mrs. Cun
ningham kept the house, and, l-csidcs Dr.
Burdeil, had two boarders, Snodgrass and
Eckel, all of whom swore that they heard
no noise of the deadly affrav transpiring
within a few feet of them, and knew nothing
of it until informed by the office Ixiy, several
hours afterwr.nl. A sheet and night shirt
stained with blood were found in the gar
ret, and it was al-o shown that the re
lations lictwccu Dr. Burdeil and his
landlady were of such a character as to
throw much suspicion upon her; but Ik.
yond this nothing was ever ascertained. Mrs.
Cunningham was tried and acquitted; Eckel
was sent to the penitentiary for defrauding
he, government during the war, and died
thet-e lastj year; hut who murdered Dr. Bur
deil N a question never likely to lie answered
in this world.
The murder of Hon. Murray McConnell,
at Jacksonville, in his own oiiice and in
broad daylight, is too recent to need recapitu
lation. The sustcctcd man was tried and
acquitted, and however much divided opin
ion is on the subject, no one would care to
say that the acquittal was undeserved.

To destroy yourencmyiii the shortest time,
in the easiest manner, and at the least tosi
ble expense, is the tir-t maxim of war. The
tune that whistled from David's sling, the
bullet of the 'zundnadelgewchr." and the
Tolley of the "machine gun" had all' the
same object. Since the days of Roger Bacon
the aim of all improvements in fire-arms lias
been to carry the greatest possible number of
"deaths to the greatest possible distance.
Gnqx, canister or case, and shrapnel, all
contain bullets, and are all means for multi
plying d.-.it lis. The field-gun mows down
its hundreds by showers of case at close
quarters, or at longer distances rains bullets
troiu the bursting shrapnel. The mitrail
Ieur or machine gun, on the contrary, sends
a large number of small projectiles inde
pendeiitly, and with precision, to a consider
able distance. Wc may divide arms on the
latter principle into two classes first, those
which dlscJiarge their bullets from a single
barrel, fed by a many chambered breech;
and secondly; those in'wjuch each cartridge
has its corresponding tarrcl, the charging
and discharging of which is direct, and more
or less simple. It is obvious that, for rough
usage and continuous firing, it is better
that a large number of rounds should
Jf firetL-froni a considerable number' of
Tjarrels so placed as to support each other
and add strength to the whole ma
chine. The French Mitrailleus, as well as
the Belgian ilonlignVj belongs to the second
class, and the following brief description is
equally applicable to both arms: Ihe ma
chine gun consists of a cluster of barrels,
either bound together or bored out of the
solid, and mounted on the same principle as
an ordinary field gun. At a few hundred
yards, indeed, it would be difficult to dis
tinguish between these weapons, as tar ,
outward appearance goes. To the barrel
as
lis
attached a massive breach action, capa
ble of being opened and closed by a
lever. In the Montignv arm the cart
ridges are earned .ia-aleel plates perfor-J
atcd wi jh holes corresponding in number and
position to the holes in the barrel. This
steel plate, in fact, forms the "vent piece" of
the sv.stem. The central fire cartridge be
ing dropped into the holes in the steel pbte,
stand out at right angles from it, and the
plates, thus ready charged, are so carried' iar
iimuerand.axK'trcc doxcs specially uueu ior
their reception. When the gun comes ; into
action the breech is drawn hack, a stcclidate
full of cartridges i dropped into ila' corres
ponding slot,and the Creech block "thrust
forward and secured. The gun is now on
full cock, and contains from thirty to forty
cartridges, which are fired by a "barrel or-,
gan" handle, either one by one as the
handle works round click-clack, or in a volley
by a rapid turn of the wrist. When the gun
is empty the breech block is again withdrawn;
tlieeetIate.carryiap the empty cartridge
cases, lifted out, and a fresh plate dropped
in. if necessary. The advantace possessed
by the machine gun over infantry fire is that
it" i never in a rank. Bullets sar rain
around, bunting shells nay fill the air, still
the thirty-seven barrels of "the Mitrailleuse

the knacker's yard, not from the
banks of the Elbe, and there-were no

on such occasions to take the square root-of

As a public journalist wc are called upon
to chronicle a dastardly outraee perpetrated
by the "lion." Levi llensel, late member of
the State Legislature, and at present Uepury
United States Marshall of Nemaha county,
upon the person of the wife of a respectable
German farmer living in this county. The
husband of the outraged woman fur
nished us with the following state-
I ment, in relation to the cae. It seems
1 that one day last week, Hensel, in his official
1 capacity as census taker of Xemalia county,
called at the house of Mr. Hanna, living on
. Four Mile Creek, and finding the wife of Mr.
1 Hanna alone and unprotected, and taking
advantage ot the husband s alrsence, at
toiniited to dome the woman bv lorce. Mie
resistedwithjill the strength she iiosnessed,
.and was successful in foiling him in his hell
ish designs, though in doing so, she was so
exhausted as to bring on premature pains of
child birth, she being wiibin a few weeks of
confinement, (hi last Jlondav the husband
of the outraired woman came to town, and
made affidavit to the alxive facts, ami papers
were at once put in the hands of the othcers
for the arrest of Hensel, who being brought
before Fwi. Linham. waived an examination
and cave bonds in the enormous sum of five

What, then, is the jTW&mie'alineof policy!
Then arc certainly none so blind that they
cannot see. It is to blacken, brow-lieat, anil,
if possible, intimidate any man who dares to
oiioose or extxe the infamous ring of cor-
nqttionists that have so long controlled the
Kcpublican putty ot ivaiisa.
Passing ovor their course towards the con
ductor? of the Jijk.W, let us examine their
treatment of the editor of the Leavenworth
TiMfis. He opened his aper to a communi
cation from a citizen of Lawrence, giving
soiiie now and inqiortaiit revelations of the
Speer defalcation. Did the Tribune attempt
to answer the charges? ot a !it of it.

niioii Mr. Wilder, the -editor of the
TiMtJs. It exhausted the dialect of Billings
gate in an attempt to injure his character.

Wilder. He i able to take care of himself.
But what sort of an anwer was this? Did
it prove the charges of the Times untrue?
No; it was the admi-sion of their truth the
admission of utter inability to answer. It
was the effort of a brag and a blackguard to
frighten W llder from his attempts to exjiose
them. Those who know lum nwl not he
told that tbe effort failed.
Take another illustration: Mr. Thaddcns
Walker was in the city a few days since.
The Tribune published an editorial concern

We give prominence to this brutal assault,
fur we Iwlieve that, just so far as it is know n,
it will secure votes neainst this brutal gang of
plunderer-. Mr. Walker is a gentleman,
a centleman of education, culture, and
a blameless character. He lias no

He runs no newspaper, and aks for no de

publican partv uindit to I'lirgc itself of the
venal vampires who are sucking out its life's
blood. His offence hath this extent, no
more. Yes. a little more. The Tribnur
charges that he wears good clothes, niid is a

The trial of Charles Craaner, inajrjicd far
robbing silverware fronnhe resTdenceof Col
onel John C. Maynard, ended on Saturday
erening in the coadem nation of the accused,
and produced a heartrending scene seldom
equalled, even in a criminal court. Cramer
has been three time-v tried, for this cJenee.
On the first occasion the verdict was set aside
on the ground that Judge Lake gave the jury
instractioas in the abatntt ofthe defendant's
counsel. On the second trial, the jury disa
greed, and the third was that which ended
on Saturday. The principal difficulty in the
case seemed tn consist in the feet that the in
dictment cliarged the defendant with "burg
lary." whereas the testimony rendered it
possible that the offence which he really
committed was receiving, with a guilty
knowledge that the silverware was stolen,
and that the burglary was committed by a
man named Meyers, who is also indicted for
the offence. The evidence in the case was
concluded on Friday evening, aud the whole
of Saturdav was consumed in addresses to ths
jury, more than usual care being bestowed
upon the case. Judge Lake went minutely
through the evidence, calling the attention
of the jury to such portions as were pertinent
to the issue. His charge occupied one
hour in its delivery. During nearly
the whole of the trial the defendant's
wife, who is a young woman, of pre
possessing appearance, about twenty years
of age, sat with two young children on her
knees. She was placed on the stand to tes
tify on behalf of her husband, and the eager
anxiety which she displayed to shield the
loved, though erring one, elicited much sym
pathy on her behalf. After an absence of
about lialf an hour, the jury returned into
the court with a verdict of guilty, and a
strong recommendation to mercy. When
the young wife heard the announcement which
consigned the father of her babes to a felon's
cell, her feelings perfectly ovcrowered her,
ami a scene followed that beggars description.
Several of the jurymen wept like childrfti,
and tears stood in even eyes of lawyers whu
are not unaccustomed to similar scenes.
Even the Court seemed affected, ami it was
some time Itcforc an attempt was made to put
an end to the painflil occasion by adjourning
tlie court. So oon as she initially re
covered herself the wife's reason seemed to
assume its sway, hc thrust her children into
her father'sarms,as if she said to herself "the
law lias taken a wax- he who ought to find
bread for my children, now let the hrw pro
vide for them alo." She then hastily fled
from the court. Si soon ashe reached the top
of the stairs her motherly feeling became
iiptermit, and she loudly exclaimed, "No,
I will have my children; they arc all I hae
got now." She then hastily returned, and
eagerly scbed her little ones, left the court.
She liad not, however, gone far when the
love for her husband, which for a moment
seemed stamped out, returned with increased
ardor; she rushed to his side, ami, without
one word of upbraiding, clung to him, and
it was long ere the weeping spectators evuld
tear her away.
