E -WADI NEWtl,
We give this week all the news of
any importance that baa been received
concerning the movements of the
French, and German armies. A will
be seen, three great battles have been
fought on French soil, in each of which
Napoleon has suffered inglorious defeat.
Instead of forcing the war upon the
soil of Prussia, as had been his boasted
purpose, he is put, by the energy of
the enemy and his own incompetency,
entirely upon the defensive. Positions
held by his foroes have been wrested
from him, and the struggle on his part
is to save Paris. Ten days ago, hemusio
telegraphed to the Empress ridiculous
sentimentality about the Imperial Baby
reoeiving "bis first baptism of fire,"
and "picking up a bullet" while
"the soldiers wept"a—11 caused by a tri
fling skirmish in which the French
captured a dozen guns. Now be tele-
graphs to an excited ministry and an
infuriated populace that in three great
battles his finest troops have been de
feated with heavy loss and compelled
to retreat.
The reports show that the troops of
the minor German States are fighting
enthusiastically under the lead of King
William, of Frursia and thus war has
biongbt about in a few days what has
been labored for for years—a United
Germany just as war brought to us
what all other means had fai'c 1 to se
cure—the Free United States. This
spirit of unity among his enemies is
not more disastrous to Napoleon than is
the division which exists in his own
empire, and it is not difficult to read
that his dynasty is nearly at an end.
The latest dispatches indicate that
the German forces are concentrating for
an attack upon Metz, and a terrible
battle is daily anticipated.

The Minneapolis Tribune gives the
substance of the article in last week's
JOURNAL on the St. Cloud and Man-
kato railroad, and adds
"The more the merrier bat as we shall
have a road graded the present fall from
here to Carver, in the Minnesota Valley,
hadu't St. Cloud better be content to reach
this new and desirable field via Minneapolis
and the shorter cut we are making through
the Minneapolis and St. Louis road?"
St. Cloud would be very willing to
co-operate with Minneapolis in the con-
struction of a load on the west side of
the Mississippi, to connect this city
with that. And we believe the time is
not far distant when such a road will
be built, affording large and productive
tracts of country in Hennepin, Wright
and Stearns counties, and counties con-
tiguous, a desirable outlet which they
do not now possess. If it shall further
provide S Cloud with a shorter and
better oonneetion with the coal fields of
Iowa and the St. Louis market than
can be obtained via Mankato, very
good. But the necessity for the Man-
kato road would still remain. The
other road would be too cucu'tous to
afford any marked relief to the lumber
ing interests, neither would it serve the
agricultural population thickly settled
along the proposed line. A road to
oinnecttho Mississippi and Minnesota,
on the short line between St. Cloud
and Mankato—tho point where the
grant pine forests' supplies above can be
manufactured ready for use, and the
point where theie is and must be an
ever-growing demand for that product
—is snob a necessity—is so natural a
want—that there mast have been
something exceedingly short-sighted in
the legislation which failed to provide
for its construction long ago. Bu
there is reason to believe that what our
railroad-endowers neglected to do,
will now be accomplished by local enter-
prise.
As the Tribuns observed, "the more
the merrier," and we would be glad to
see a road connecting St. Cloud and
Minneapolis direct, on the west side oi
the Mississippi.

Gov. Smith's Northern Pacific party
started from St. Paul on Saturday for
Duluth. They will remain there for a
few days, then return to Minneapolis,
after which they will come to St. Cloud.
Here they will be provided with teams
and tents, and start for tho Bed Biver,
to make a careful observation ot the
country and locate certain portions of
the road.
W E wonld respectfully say to the
Red Wing Republican, Hastings Ga
zette and other Republican papers of this
District, whioh have repeatedly refer
red to JOURNAL in oonneetion
with the Congressional canvass, as a
"Stewart" paper, that it is pledged to
and nrges no man for the nomination.
We have spoken of the claims and
merits of both Dr. Stewart and Gen.
Averill, without expressing any prefer
encs tor either gentleman. W pur
pose to support the nominee, and trust
that, just for variety, the people may
.be permitted by the politicians to have
some voice in selecting him.

A MANY of our readers are doubt-
less aware, there are now two Gor
man Confederations, and have been
since the war of 1816—when the old
Confederation was broken up and Aus-
tria driven out permanently—the North
and South German, to the former ot
which Prussia belongs, and of both oi
which King William is virtually Emper
or. The North German Confederation is
mainly Prctestant—the South German,
like France and Austria, is strongly
Catholic.
After Sadowa, Prussia annexed five
ot the largest and most populous Ger-
man states, and within her present lim
its includes 25,000,000 of people.
The right of suffrage lor Deputies is
given to every man of twenty-five years
of age, and the tendencies of the King
of Prussia follow the tendencies of
German thought, toward the liberty of
the citizen and the enlargement of con
stitutional government.
THB Northern Pacific Railroad Com-
pany have filed with the Secretary of the
Interior the first mortgage upon their
franchise lands and other property for
$5,000,000 to secure the issue of a
corresponding amount of bonds.—
Twenty-five internsl revenue stamps ot
the value of $200 each ($35,000) are
affixed to the instrument.

State of Minnesota, landed at Buffalo
nineteen years ago, was taken sick, and

ent farmers.
N EW ENGLAND papers report hay
(the most important crop of that sec
tion) as at least twenty-five per cent
below an average yield. A lively de
maud for Western corn is anticipated.
The drouth has had an injurious effect
upon crops of all kinds, and it is said
that "on the whole, the farmers of New
Eogland will be apt to consider 1870 a
hard year."
HE Anoka Union and Hastings
Gazette have been exchanging the
compliments of the season for some
weeks past. I the last issue, the
Union editor pleasantly refers to t'other
man as a "swindling-sneak," "puling
pup," "bawling booby," "green gos
ling," "little liar," with lots more of
equally flattering alliterations. Bather
warm style for August!
NOTWITHSTANDING his letter ot
deolination, the Republicans of the 3d
Ohio District have re-nominated Gen.
Robert C. Schenek for Congress, in

This is his fifth conseoutive nomination.
If he accepts, as he should in response
to a call made thus, it is to be hoped
the Republicans of that District will
see to it that he is elected.

LAST EVENING'S DISPATCHES.
N EW YORK, August 10.—A special
Tribune dispatch from London says:
The 7Vmes speaks most undisguisediv
of the calamitous and fabulous incapaci-
ty of the emperor, Marshal Le Boeuf,
and all the military dandies comprising
his military staff. They have utterly
lost the confidence of the army, and
change in oommand was an absolute
necessitytoprevent mutiny.
All tbis, while there is no official
news whatever of the .whereabouts of
the Prussian army, and under the cir
oumstahces co news is bad news.
It is stcted th-.t General MoMahon
wanted, some days before tbe battle, to
fire the forests in his front, through
which the Germans came down unex-
pectedly on the French, but the Em
peror declined to authorize the step.
A special correspondent writes from
Paris, late on Monday evening, the
8th From what I hoar of the feeling
among people and the army,. I
think it more possible that Napo-
quiet1willthneverthare-enter

The statement of the Gaulios of a
secret alliance between France and Italy
and the ezpeoted reinforcement of 100,
000 Italian troops is certainly false.
No matter what the King may have
promised, his troops would not march.
M. Favre, the editor oi the Soiree,
who has just arrived in Paris from
Forbaoh, says he witnessed the entire
destruction ot Frossard's corps, and
claimed to speak for 3,000 French sol
diers who were cut to pieces by the fault
of their leaders, and who lsmeoted with
their last cry they fell uselessly. The
universal cry of the army, M. Favre
says, is Give us generals we can
trust."
