New York, Aug. 26.—Tribune special correspondent from Crown Prince's head- quarters, says there is no delay in the advance. Town after town is occupied, which you may hear of, but you can scarce- ly realize the extent ot the in -Vision, The Crown Prince has advanced through Nor - them Alsace into Loraine. Two other Ger- man armies have entered French territot y from Rhenish Prussia, and reserves are ever increasing.„ Pfaisburg holds out. The Tribune's' Paris correspondent writes Wednesday, before Chalons :—That the bombardment of Strasburg initiated /kit lit damage. Heavy siege stfliffery is coining from several Prussian fortresses. Another Tribune correspondent writes from 'Paris Wednesday se -That the loan is a striking failure competed with the former. Pere Signe said, yesterday, to some Ameri- can friends :—" The want of clipacity of the Imperialists had destroyed the empire." The Tribune's London special says :— The arrival of the King at Bar le Due is the besi comment on French stories assi- duously spread in Paris, that Prussians were caught in a trap at Metz. McMahon's movements are known to the Prussians, but they do not consider therci ot Sufficient con- sequence to delay the advance of the Crown Prince. The Prussian front now stretChes 30 or 40 miles. The left wing has envel- oped Chalons. The World's London special cor., says :— An envoy from Madrid has arisived in Flor- ence to re -open negotiations for offering the Spanish throne to PrinceThomasiof Genoa. The Papal Government does not oppose the plan. London, Aug. 26.—The Times has the following resume of the &situation :—King William after leaving a'sufficient force be- fore Metz joined the Crown Prince, who was pushing on to Paris. The movements of McMahon are beginninaato be intelligi- ble, a fugitive, from Wcerth, and avoiding Metz, he passed through Vosges to Moselle, to Nancy and,to Chalons where he was re- inforced by the Garde Mobile and Volun- teers. His obvious aim has been to bar the passage and prevent the advance of the Crown Prince. on Paris. Affecting to dis- regard him, the Crown Prince moved on his flank, and passed Chalons and offered McMahon battle, which the latter declined, retreating on Rheims, and leaving Chalons. Since that time Rheims itself has -been abandoned. The obvious object, through- out, on the part of tht French, has been to avoid a fight. The Prussians are now with- in a short march of Paris, -where perhaps, some slight .additional resistance may be met. Berlin, Aug. 26.—One corps of the 1st and 2ndarmy is still in front of Benin°, while the remainder of the Prussians have raarch- ed on towards Paris. Paris, Aug. 26.—The environs of Metz have been inundated by order of the French authorities. Mendelheim, Itavaria, Aug. 26.—Since last Tuesday evening the bombardment of Stiasburg by the Prussians has been inces- sant The Prussian advance post, with Siege train, is within 500 yards of of the city walls. The French stories that the Prussians were checked, yesterday, between Chalons and Verdun, are false. New York, Aug. 26. ---The German aid fund now reaches $85,000. London, Aug. 26.—A special correspon- dent at Bar le Due writes :—Bazaine is surrounded in Metz by Prussians, and it is expected that he will be compelled to caPitu- late, all his troops being short of provisions. The Times special under date of London, August 26th, wilites :—The last informa- tion about Bazaine's army, which a Ger- Man official tells is : He is shut up in Metz, and his strength is about 10,000. McMah- on's army cannot exceed 100,000 really good troops, the remainder being raw levies. The Prussian force left at Metz, or within Supplying distance, is computed at 250,000, that is, after deducting 100,000 sent to re- inforce the Crown Prince. The Times' special telegraphsfrom Frank- fort, Friday :—The Strasburg besiegers are making rapid progress. The German trenchs •are close to the walls. All the regiments before Metz have been filled up from ordi- nary reserves. On good _authority that the fortifications of Peris are worthless unless manned by at least 300,000 men. COunt Von Bismarck's son is more .seriously wounded than was Rt. first reported. Paris, Aug. 26, midnight.—The follow- ing news has been made public :—.The Prussians ire passing through Nancy going towards Chalons. The seige of Toul has been abandoned owing to the vigo2ous re- sistance made by the garrison. London, Aug. 27.—Austria hs coucu.rr- ed in the declaration ef neutrality as propo- sed by England and already accepted by Italy. • New York, 27 Aug. -111. Galtairdet te- ltgratelta from Paiis, last night, in spite of . the orders :—" The Pruesian invasion of 1870 eurpasses in horrors the recollections ofethat of 1814." Last evening the remo- val to a safe place of the masterpieces of he Louvre was begun. The Prince Royal of Prussia has issued a proclamation to the people of France, wherein he says the people have nothing, whatever, to fear. The Prince announces his purpose to instantly restore .the lines of travel which have been interrupted or de- stroyed 5y artny movements, sb that travel and commerce may everywhere be resumed. All French officials have been requested to remain at their postS, and their personal safety is guaranteed. (Continued on Fourrth Page.) Missouri and Things in•clenerali. The following excellent letter, which was written to the Stratford Beacon, by Mr. James Shirllinglaw, late of Hibbert, near Cromarty, will be read with interest by most of our readers. Mr. Shirllinglaw sold his • farm in Hibbert, and emigrated to Misouri last spring, where he had previously pur- chased a large prairie farm -" When last I wrote to the Beacon T tkught 1 would have been able to fulfit my promise of sending you ere this another letter; but having my hands full of work, and the weather being all that could be de- sired for farming operations, I waa constrain- ed to postpone letter -writing until now, I shall begin with that fertile topic of conver- esation, THE WEATHER. We had a very hot, .dry, summer. The growth in the spring and early part of the season was' very rapid; but since about the first of June we have never bad any rain of consequence, until the first week of Au- gust; and though the thermOrneter indicat- ed from 98 to 106° in the shade a good part of the time, I never felt the heat so oppres- sive as I have felt it in Canada. Although peisonmight think it blistering hot here at times, there is generally a light breeze blowing across the open prairie, which mode- rato the effect of the fierce rays of the sun. - , The Tribune's correspondent of Perlis, writes, Thursday. evg. :—The Ministry says privately, it was Canrobert who, with one or two divisions, got away after the battles -"of the 18th, aid with him McMahon hopes to effect a junction. In a secret session of •of the Corps Legislatiff to -day, the Ministry were notified by deputies that the practice of witholding news would no longer be tole- rated, and that deputies -vere determined that General Trochu's plans should not be interfered with by Count Palikoor even by the Emperor, A London special, last night, says :—It is fancied that the Crown Prince is march- ing on Paris with 150,000 men; if so Tro- d:al with, at least, an equal number can de- fend Paris long enough to give McMahon and Bazaine time to do their work in the rear. It is understood that a new French army of 150,000 veteran troops is forming at Lyons, and that if the Prussian's are de- feated, their reserves do not exceed 300,000 men. All that is certain is that the strug- gle, near at hand, will be a desperate and dreadful one; it involves everything. No well-informed person anticipates anything but a long and exhausting war. London, Aug. 27th.—On Tuesday' even- ing the headquarters of the Prussian •army was at Bar le Due, the advance having -reached a point about midway between Chalons and Therny. The march on Paris is to be raade leisurley by Prussians, as no further opposition is anticipated. It is said THE CROPS. The crops in this State are of fair average quality this year; but they are better in some places than others. Those on open prairie soil are nearly fifty per cent. better than -those on timbered Land. The prairie soil is generally deep, black mould, and stands the drought better than timbered land, which is lighter and shallower. In some places, among the timber, the corn crop ia almost an entire failure, it being neatly burnt up; butrain has now fallen in sufficient quantities to moisten the dry parched land, and although corn will not be benefited, root crops will very greatly. THE OLD SETTLERS. Th. old original inhabitants of this State —those who have been more than 20 years settled—do not wish to have any more set- tleis amongst them! They think about five miles about a fair distance for neighbors to be apart, as then there is plenty of range for their horses and cattle. .As for educa- tion, the care little about it. Give them a horse, i rifle, and a dog or two, with the privilege of enjoying an occasional lounge about the village grocery, and they are con- tent and heppy. Igith regard to theii dwellings, a Canadian or new -comer passing by would think they Were strangers to any- thing like comfort and cleanliness. With some slight exception, the traveller sees nothing but squalor and discomfort about their homes. No nice houses with gardens and flowers greet the eye; but instead fenc- es in a ruinous condition, with scores of lean, gaunt, long -nosed, hungry -looking hogs going squealing about looking for what they may devour. Such is invariably the "decorations" presented about an old Mis- souri residence. Though they ace living in a land of plenty, many of them can barely eke out a substance. They are passionate- ly devoted to the "weed," large quantities of which they consume, morning, noon, and night. 1 ork and corn "dodgers" foim the staple of their daily food_ There is another class of settlers in Missouri who deserve mention. They are those who have comb from the Eastern and Northern States. These are more, energetic, and, according to their means, more liberal in supporting schools, 'churches, etc. Many of them have but little education themselves, but they aesire to !instruct their children better than they were educated themselves. CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS. There are a great many schools all over the State, but most of them are open only a portion of the time. As a general thing the people attend the different churches on Sunday pretty regularly; but, iunfortunate- ly, thee are but very few educated minis- ters in this part of the countiy. Anybody or everybody can assume the pulpit, and even some that can't read frequently try their hand at preaching. But the sermons, as may well be conjectured, are seldom very mstruotwei or etlyfiying. • A s for, the. chili - chs, they are the most primitive looking structures imaginable. One in particular, which I had occasion to attend, looked as if EXP:10$ I 7'..01t.. it never had seen either the scrubbing - brush, white -wash 01 painf, the eats, such as they were, were not fit for any person'to sit on, and the walls and seats iriire bespat- tered with tobacco -juice, large dos of which were freely "squirted" by the congregation the preacher setting tbe example. With the advent of new -comers these things will be changed. RAILROADS, ETC. The old settlers hate emigrants, and they prefer selling oat and removing where°they will not be "cramped" for room, as they say. They have also a perfect hatred for anything in the shape of impiovements. The sound of the railway whistle is dreaded like a plague; and numbers of them never heard it. Before twelve'monthi pass over, it is expected the iron horse afill be seen bounding over these vast p4airc6s, the Oma- ha ane Chilicothe' R. R. being now in course of construction. to Albany, the county town. Steps are also,being taken to build a road from St. Joe to Burlington, in Iowa, and there is also another being built froiA Quincy, in Illinois, to Brownsville, on the Missouri River, to run in connection with the Pacific Road. WAR BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES. I see by the papers that the United States are looking to England getting embroiled in this European war, when they will pay her back for the Alabama depredations. I can assure you the United States were nev- er worse prepared for war than at the pre- sent time, as scarcely a Democrat in the entire South and South-west but would rise in iebellion again, if a good opportuni- ty occurred. A war with England would be hailed by thousands as a fitting oppor- tunity to pay back the North and secure their independence. Those, therefare, who dread a conflict between Great Britain and the United States may calm , their ap- prehensions. No such war is likely to oc- cur for many years at least, VisITS FROM CANADIAN FRIENDS. I have had the pleasure of a visit from a tew gentlemen from the County of Perth, and I can assure you they were heal tily wel- come; and should any other old acquain- tances contemplate visiting these parts, I hope they will call and see us. A bad custom isprevalent among farmers, of working an hour or two before breakfast. This is convenient on many accounts, but it is not conducive to health. The prevalent opinion is, that the morning air is the pure - est and most healthful and bracing, but the contrary is the fact. At no hour in the day is the air more filled with dampness, fogs and miasmas, then about sunrise. The heat of the sun gradually dissipates the mi- asmatic influences as the day advance's. An early meal braces up the system against these external influenees. Probably the best custom would be to furnish every mem- ber of the family, especially those who la- bor out of doors, with a single cup of warm coffee, well milked,- immediately after rim- ing 'hon.' bed. • SURANCE9 Insuranee,Insurance.
