FRIDAY, AUGUST 26th 1870.
THE ONWARD MAROH.
Notwithstanding the very contradictory
reports which reach us from the seat of war,
we can succeed in gleaning suffieient truth
from them, to justify us in saying that thn
Prussians, so far at least, have carried every-
thing before them. Instead of having to
act won the defensive, as was at first suppos-
ed they Would, they hive assumed and con-
tinue_ to maintain, an offensive. position.
The French, although the originators of the
quarrel, \vete chary to strike the first blow.
The Prussian commander, seeing this, took.
the advance step, and has con -tinned to ad-
vance ever since,—the French troops being
compelled to flee from before him like sheep
from a wolf.
Nothwithstanding the blustering of Na-
poleon ere the war commenced, his •army
seemsto have been in ;t. deplorably unfit
condition for war. Poorly fed, poorly offi-
cered, and miserably deficient in numbers.,
he marched them into deadly .combat with
one of the most powerful and best disciplin-
ed armies in the world. The result is, that
at every engagement, his troops suffered an
ignominious deteat, and have been compell-
ed to retreat, leaving uheir opponents mas-
teis of the situation; while, he, himself, is
• despised and hooted, even by his own peo-
ple. 1 •
Notwithstanding, however, • that the
Prussians have been so successful, they have
not gained their victories without* fearful
loss of life. . The Prussian commanders,
seem to hive felt, that they had an • abun-
dant supply of men, and. were accordingly
most prodigal of them, behtg determined to
• WW, no matter at what sacrifice. Thus, so
far,ethey have succeeded in forcing their
way, to.at least within 200 miles of the
French capital. . . -
It can hardly be &apposed, that they
will be able to pursue their onward
coarse so rapidly hereafter as they have
heretofore done. Every mile they place
between themselves and their base of oper-
• ations, increases their diffictilties, and ren-
ders their onward course more difficult.
Heretofore, the French have nevere been
• able to concentrate their entire'army at any
one point, the Prussians having succeeded,
mainly through their advantage -in numbers,
to keep the two principal sections apart,
and engage only one at .a time. But: now,
it is thought that a junction of the troops
under comuiand offalahon and Bazaine,
will be effected at Or near Chalons. ' To this
pint the Prussians appear to be directing
almost their entire force. It the French
should succeed, as is intended, in concentra-
ting the main portion of their army at this
point, they will,undoubtedly, make a strong
and dreadful resistance; and should they be
suceesaful in here gaining their first victory,
and repulsing the Prussians, it is More than
probable that spe;edy.peace will be the re-
sult. After such an. engagement, aDd such
a reatilt, both parties! *ill most likely be
to agree to reasonable terms. But,
• shoultrvictory again perch 'Upon the banners,
of Prussia; the French army would be com-
pelled to fall back upon Paris. Whether
the Prussians, encouraged by their victories,
wotild dare to face,the batteries of the capi-
tal, andendeavour to takepossession of it and
its treasures, is difficult to say. It would
certainly be a bold venture, but, even should
they succeed it would not Much surprise any
peirsoia. after what has already taken place.
The next few days, or week at most, will
- be almost certain to decide what the future
position of these two European powers will
be. - -
There is one thing settled already, how-
ever, and that is, that the reign of Nanoleon
is about over. Who the future occupant
of the French throne will be, it is not yet
safe to predict; but the probability is that
the Orleans Princes will be peimitted to
return to their iaativeeland, and assume the
reins of power. There seems to be a grow-
ing feeling towards a Republican form' of
Government, but we do not think -that the
Republican party is yet sufficiently strong
to bring about such a result.- Besides, the
. former arrangement would be more congeni-
•al to the feelings of the Prussians, and is
even said to be one of the demands stipula-
ted for by them. What -will become of the
self -expatriated Emperor, we would not like
to allow ourselves at present to predict; but,
judging from recent rumours, his troubles;
so far as this life is concerned, will, .ere the
• elapse of many weeks, or perhaps days, be
ended. • .
• HoNon To Wirom HoNoR Is DUE.—It is
with great pleasure we learn that the peo-
ple of the County of Lambton are getting
up a testitnenial to their distinguished mem-
ber, Mr. Alexander McKenzie ; the testi-
monial is to be of a very "substantial charac-
ter, and is to cost some $1,5.00 or $1,600.
We have not learned what the nature of
the testimonial is to be, but have no doubt
• that it will be of such a character as to be
altogether worthy of both donors and recipi-
ent. No man in. the Dominion has so rich-
ly earned such an acknowledgement as°Mr.
McKenzie. His steady and consistent
course since he entered politics has been of
the most notable character, and has gained
• respect alike from both sides of the House.
Mr. McKenzie has just returned. from an
extended tour through the Maritime Pro-
vinces, and it is to be presumed that he has
now made himself thoroughly acquainted
With the causes of the discontent that con-
• tinue to exist there, and will not be slow in
proposing a remedy.
•
A FEARFUL CONFLAGRATION.
33•
The terrible fires which have for weeks
been raging in the Eastern District, but
more especially in "the vicinity of Ottawa,
have caused to that mection of -the country,
an -incalculable amount of loss. • Hundreds
r•f farmera have lost the fruits of a life% toil,.
-7-all they possessed in the shape of worldly
goods, having beet' swept away at one stroke,
and they were perfectly powerless to save
evena single vestige, or stay for a. moment
the devouring element. Indetal .in many
instances, life itself, was sacrificed,—seveial
individuals having been overtaken and sur-
ieunded by , the flames', and having DO
chance of escape, were compelled to submit
to their fearful fate. But even those who
were fortunate enough to escape with their
lives, are still in a. sad conditon. •Many
wha, a few weeks ago,, were comparatively
eprosperous, and in comfortable circumstan-
ces, are now penniless, and totally without
the means of providing •the necessaries of
life for themselves or families. These un-
fortunate people are certainly deserving of
sympathy and consideration from the public
at Large. It is said that an appeal is to be
made to the Local Governments of Ontatio
and Quebec. - We sincerely trust an appeal
may be speedily made, and that it will
be promptly and liberally responded to.
But even more than this should be done.
The people of other sections of the country,
where a bountiful harvest has been reaped,
and where the barns are filled to Oveeflow-
ing with the fruits of the earth; should at
once contribute liberally of their .abund-
ance, to aid aid comfort those of their fel-
low -countrymen, who have been so unfortu-
nate as to lose'their all ; and who, unless
lED mediate assistance is tendered them must
eindure fearful Buffering.
We trust that some of our prominent
men in this County, will at once,take steps
to taise a euitable donation for those un-
fortunate people. No time .should be lost;
if anything is to_be cisme, it should be done
at once.
In order to give our readers some idea of
the wide -spread devastation and ruin which
. has befallen this section of country, we ap-
pend the following extracts' . taken from the
Ottawa papers. The *Free Press says:—
" Two thousand homeless, naked, starving
people, who were, two days ago, enjoying a
competence, some of them an abundance of
this world's goods, dewand our instant,
eainest assistance."
The Oitize-n, after publishing a two col-
umn list of the sufferers in the Townships
of Nepean, Huntley, and Gloucester alone,
while the fire is known to have ravished sev-
eral other fine :t0 nSidps, continues .as fol-
lows
"Some idea may be formed of the terrible
magnitude of the comilagration now in pro-
gress, when it is considered that it has now
overrun, and in many places totally devas-
tated, an area of at least over two thousand
four hundred square miles—a territory
one-fourth the size of Cartier's Province of
Manitoba. Of the amount of damage done
evepethe faintest estimate .cannot be torn:f-
ed.'s:WA very considerable portion of Central
Canada is in ashes. It is perfectly deplor-
able' to see the condition of tatatters in this
section, and a feeling of deep dejection over-
spreads the inhabitants. Many persons
have perished already, either by fire or suffo-
cation. We have seen farmers sitting de-
jected and in a state if stupefication •with
the smoke from the smouldering retnains of
their devastated farms and homesteads.—
The worst feature is that the soil itself is
destroyed in many places by the fire. All
the rich land, the made land, andsthe fiats,
covered with alluvial deposit, are burnt out
totally, and, rendered utterly irreclaimable,
except by' a process so tedious and Apens-
ive that their ruined owners could nClt un-
dertake it."

The Ottawa. Fire.
, The ravages of the fire in the vicinity of
the city of Ottawa are appalling. The city
itself at one time was thought to be in dan-
ger. • The loss has been enormous. Several
men, women and children have perished in
the flames. ,The village of Bell's Corners is
in ruins. - In the townships of Nepean and
March only three houses stand in fifteen
miles. All fences and telegraph posts are
destroyed. The townships of Fitzroy and
Huntley are in a blaze. Gloucester has
also suffered severely, and the whole town-
ship of Templeton, on the Quebec side of
Ottawa, is one blackened wilderness of de-
solation. Gilmour's mills, at Chelsea, es-
caped, but 6:000,000 feet of lumber were
destroyed. .The farmers have lost nearly
everything, and a great number are in a
state of destitution. -

• (Telegraphic Dispatches.)
RITISH REPoRres.
London Aug. 17.—The growing unpopu-
larity aafthe Emperor at Paris is altogether
due to his interference tvith the army, in-
stead of leaving it to the command of mili-
tary experts.
It is said that boxes containing Napole-
on's private property are arriving at Ma-
-chid. Similar stories are telegraphed here
from various points in Belgium.
• The Times says the French army received
a decisive and finishing stroke at Metz. A
• decisive battle will be fought at Chalons,
after which English intervention will take
place. ,
London, Aug. 18.—The Times says ail
day Monday and a good part of Tuesday,
the French were fighting their way to get a
position against the enemy in the rear and
flank • progress was consequently slow. On
Tuesday night they had gotten no farther
• than Staen, 16 miles from Metz. These are
the only fttcts positivelylinown. 4
Telegrams from Paris 'give the following
resume of events since Sunday :—On thae
day the French army engaged the -Prussi-
ans before Metz. The lattee suffered heavy
losses. The French retired on Verdtua.
On Monday the Emperor was at Grave -
lotto with 60,000 men; subsequently there
• occurred an engagement at Longuville and
other" places in the vicinity, the French con-
stantly fighting.and retreating, but contest-
ing every step.
• On Tuesday the Emperor passed through
Verdun and reached Rheime, where he now
is:
The Paris Presse says, that the repoet
that the Prussians demanded time in order
to bury their dead, is fully confirmed, and
praises Marshal Bazaine for not according
it. The Prussians must bury the dead,
and the army continue its work of annihi-
lating the enemy.
An obstinate struggle occurred near
Mars-le-Touryesterday. It is supposed the
engagement was general. • Large numbers
of the wounded of both armies ate arriving
at Briey.
Travellers report :that a vast body of
Prussians were thrown back upon the Mos-
elle by the Imperial guard. The Prussian
artillery was entrenched between Briey and
St. Jean.
London, Aug. 19.—An official dispatch
from Marshal Bazaine, dated four o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, says :--" Yesterday
late in the afternoon, we gave battle be-
tween Doncourt and Brcinville. The enemy
were driven back and we bivouacked oe the
positions we had taken: I halted in my
movement for several hours in order to
bring up a full supply of munitions. We
had before us Prince Frederick Charles and
Gen. Steinmetz."
The London Times says a dispatch from
Berlin states that the French armies were
sepaiated at Mars -la -Tour, and the main
anny at Metz c,hecked by the first and sec-
ond armies of Prussia. The Crown Prince
with three army corps, is now marching to
attack Frossard at*Chaons. The despatch
adds that Marshal Bazaine must' eqt his
way through the German army. or theiarmy
of the Rhine will be forced to-capitulge.
Part of the French army has been forced
back to Metz. The position there is regard-
ed as very critical. It is believed that pre-
liminary negotiations for peace are2under
discussion.
The Times, in its article on the situation
to -day, says the road to Paris is open to the
Crown. Prince, whomay leave Frederick
Charles, to watch Marsbal Bazaine.
The 21ime8imblishes a special telegram
from Berlin this mcrning, which •contains.
the follrewing intelligence :—The French
army has been separated by the victory of
the Prussians at Mars -la -Tour. The main
'body has been forced , back on Metz, and
brought to a stand by the 1st and 2nd Ger-
man army Corps under Prince Frederick
Charles- and Gen. Steiumetz. The road is
now open to Chalons for -the 010W11 Prince,
who has only Gen. Trochu and some frag-
ments of Marshal McMahon's corps to en.
counter on the way. Decisive events

London, August 119.—.The German Hun-,
prian monthly gives rurther revelations of
the French policy towards Prussia' and the
North German -Confederation, namely, cer-
tain propositions made in Salsbury, in 1867,,
by Napoleon to Count Buest, the Austrian
Prime Minister- The Emperor offered to
sustain Ansitria in demanding the literal
fulfilment of the treaty of Prague, and in-
sisting that any alliance of Prussia with thei
South Gernian States • should be considered
a violation of the compact.' The Irussians
were to be required to evacuate 1Vlayence,
and Hesse north of the River Main to go
with that south of it • a Zollverein of South
German States to be established, and war
to be declared if Prussia hesitated to yield
to .Austria's demand. Prusssa was to be
compelled to do justice to -Denmark in the
matter of the Schleswig-Holstein province,
and the Southern States were to be conced-
ed ff necessary into the arrangement.

official dispatch of King William, dated
Rezenville, Thursday evening :
We have defeated the French under Ea-
zaine, after' a battle which lasted ten hours.
There were forty t114isand killed and wound-
ed. The garrisoi were taken inisoners. I

ries! is dead, civily and imperially!
Where will be drag his despised worn-out
carcass'? For a fortnight his name has
been unpronounced in the Chambers, and
he is as much degraded as the Pope.
The Spectator, judging from news receiv-
ed fr9m Germany, regards the caee, of
France as hopeless. Marshal Bazaine is
surrounded, and Canrobert is too week to
risk a battle. • Paris is indefensible, and
the Empire as distinguished from France,
is dead. .
The Irishman says if ever the sun cf vic-
tory should shine licrain on the drooping
standard of the Emperor after the storm of
war, he will be bound by every sacred tie
to pay England for the bitter abuse and
malignity for whiat he is her debtor now.
It is understood England favors the ces-
sion or AlSaCQ and the deposition of Napole-
on, and the liberty to France to choose her
Government. .
The great victory of the Prussion army
led by Kieg William in person, completes
the French defeat and disorganization.
London, August 21.— The Prussians
have made heavy reqtusitions at Loune-
ville. The fortified town of Pfalzburg, in
the Vosges, capitul;tied on -Saturday to the
Wurtemburg army. The capture of this
fortress ensures the comniunications of the
Crown Prince with his base of supplies.
London, August 22.—Gatie Mobite is
returning to Paris from the'front, doubtless
because it is unprovided with arms.
1.3er1in journals print a lester from the
King to the Queen, - dated at Rezonville,
August 190, of which the following is an
extract .—.
About 8:30 p. m. fighting 'eeased gradu-
ally ; withoutthis I should have acted as at
Koniggratz. Von Rom saved me this al-
ternative, The troops have performed mi
racks of valor against an enemy equally
brave, who withdrew by inches, resuming
the offensive to be again repuleed. I can-
not fortell the enemy's fate. I shrink from
learning our losses. T. had designed bivou-
acking here, 'int I find after some hours
that I am without any luggage; in fact I
have not been rid of my clothing for thirty
heurs.
Paris dispatch to Times says :—I have
the following ot good authority :--The se-
ries of battles which concluded on Thurs-
day, only resulted in giving the Prussians
command of the roads to Verdun. It is
presumed that it is the intention of Bazaine
to el ossArgonnes b Stenay to Vouziers, by
Vosges, and theta strike down the valley of
Aisne to St. .Menehould, whete, half way
between Verdun and Chalons, a junction
could readily be effected, with McMahon.
St. Menehould is 30 miles math of Vitray
la, Francias, • and 20 miles north-east of
Chalons. The three places form a triangle,
of which Chalons is the apes-. At St.
IMenehould a great battle will brobably he
fought, as it is thought McMahon is now
on his way to join Bazaine at this
oejective point. The French position cov-
ers all railroad lines, and secures a line of
retreat to Paris in case of defeat An im-
portant movement is in progress in another
direction by French troops.
London, 23rd.—Bazaine forced a passage
by the way of Antattil, and Longueil, on
reaching Montmedy. • It is reported the
army of the Royal Prince and Piince Fred-
erick Charles have formed a jrmetion at
West Metz.
London, 23rd,— It is almost certain that
the intervention of the great powers of Eu-
rope in the Franco-Prussian question
take place in a few days.
Paris Journals continue to urge a levy en,
masse to exterminate invaders The elm -
boats now operating on the " Rhine, have
been 'recalled to the Seine. .
London, Aug. 24.—Private advices front
Paris, dated Monday 22nd say :—Crown
Prince of Prussia is near St. Dizier and go-
ing towards Paris -with 150,000 men, it is
uncertain whether they will be unable to
avoid a fight before going further on. Prus-
sian officers do not believe Patis will resist.
They expect an 'insurrection . on the ap-
pearance of the 'Plussian army, which will
result in displacement of the present French
Authorities, when peace will be easily guar-
anteed. They say war Will be prolonged if
these points cannot be effected. The Em-
peror is at Montnedin incog.
The following dispatch from Paris con-
tains the very latest from the seat of war.
Metz is entirely isolated. The Prussians are
strong west of that place. Gen. Failly.
who was in command, at Chalons is still
there. Gen. McMahon is strongly pdsted
in the plains before Chalons, with heavy de-
tachments at St. Menehould, Verdun and
Rheims. • Gen. McMahon bas175,000 men,
well supplied with food ammunition and ar-
tillery, Sharp -shooters are hastening to
" Chalons.
AMERICAN REPORTS.
The World's London correspondent tele-
graphs that it is believed on the best anth-
ority that the Freuch will concentrate at
Chalons with 200,000 men and 1,000 guns,
and that the Prussians will attack with
500,000 men and, 1,400 guns.
It is understood that if Prussia WiDS she
will demand the expenses of the war, with
the cession of Loinraine and Alsace, and up-
on this understanding rests fears of Euro-
pean complications. Russia is - beginning
to mess the English. Government for an un.
derstanding to maintain the balance of
power. There aee ruraors of an agitation
among the Germans of Baltic Russia, and
the mobilization of a Russian army for the
Prussian frontiers.
. A special despatch from Berlin 'states
that another attempt has been made for
peace between France and Prussia. The
Queen's messenger arrived at Berlin pester-
" day with proposals of peace from the English
Cabinet. The Emperor of the French ex-
pressed his readiness to treat for peace, and
proposals were made through Lord Lyons.
The King replied that if Napoleon wished
for peace. he must ask for an arMistice in
the usual way. ' The issue must be decided
either by'arbittation or war.
A despatch from Paris states that Emile
011iver and his wife have fled from France
to Italy. On their progress through the
French territory they met with the most ve-
hement expressions of hatred from the peo-
ple.
New York, Aug, l'9.—A priv-ate des-
patch from London at -'11:30 a. in. 'says :—
The Daily News of this morning contains a
despatch from Brussels, which says Napo-
leon suffers froin "febrile -tnoamnania.'
He cries out that he has been betrayed. -
A special despatch to the Telegram from.
Carlsruhe says the demands of the King of

universally in favour of these conditions.
New York, Ang. 19.—The Work's spe-
cial from London states the losses on both
sides in the battles on Tuesday and Wed.-
.
nesday at 50,000 killed and wounded. The
Priissians are .estunated to have lot 100,-
000 men since they entered France.
•Point-a-Mousson, A.u.g. 20, via Luxem-
burg.—A special despatch to the World
says :--I witnessed the battle. -.The Prus-
sians won at a fearful cost, the mitrailleur
doing terrible work. Four villages and
battle fields are still strewn with the dead.
From the front I can see the French on
Mont. St. Juentien, overlooking Metz.
From the east Aetz is surrounded, and it
looks as itreparations were being made by
the Prussians for a siege. Gen. Sheridan,
from the King's headquarters, witnessed the
battle. The King returned here last night
and the Crown Prince visited him to -day,
corning from a direction which indicates
that his forces are
,. not far from Bar-le-Duc.
The Prussians are building a railway from
ReMilly to this peint. Tne French- Gener-
al La Tour was wounded and taken prison-

New York, Aug. 21.—The 1Vort g spe-
cial of Loudon 21st, 'gays :- -The battle of
Rezonvilie was wi'hout a decisive result.
It is claimed by the.,Prusaians)anal the
French fell back in good order without pur-
suit to Metz, their ammunition having giv-
en out. The losses of the Prussians greatly
exceeded the French, the former losing 40,
000 on Thursday alone, Steinmetz's, whol
corps being literally cut to piecee, and
magnificent cavalry nolonger existing.
New York, Aug. 22,—The correspon, -
ent of the Tribune, at Chalons, writes ok
Thursday :---" The gmperor has arrived.\
McMahon and Canrebert are also here. In
the affair at Longueville on Sunday the
Emperor narrowly escaped being killed or
captured. It was merely a reconnoissance
on the Prussian side, but it was CODdlit.ted
-with incredible daring. The Prussians
pushed straight up to the Imperial head -
quartets, and their presence was first _an-
nounced by cannou shots. Prussian bullets
were Whistling past the. Emperor's escort
betore they could get on horseback, and no-
thing but a most precipitate retreat saved
him.
The correspondent of the Tribune at
Paris writes on Friday night The Em-
peror when at Chalons was hissed and hoot-
ed at by the soldiers.
Mulat Halsted telegraphs to the Cincin-
nati Commercial from Luxembourg, under

tle of Gravelotte on Thursday. The King
of Prussia, Count Bismarck, and Gen. Sheri-
dan were on the field. ft was the third'
and great battle for the road front Metz to
Paris. The French were ontatmibered and
beaten back to the walls of Metz. The
slaughter on both sides was horrible. I
walked several miles over the field strewn
thick with dcad men and horses. - The lines
of battle were marked with the dead.
A special totheNew York World. dated
London 22nd, says :—The Crown Prince is
belierd to be marebing On Pails direct. It
is reported. that McMahon & Canrobert are
moving upon the road taken by him. The
army is estimated at 200,000. The French
Marshal is supposed to have an equal num-
ber of troop on the line, nut it is also be-
lieved that only -dreat good fortune can stop
the Crown Prime's advance, short of Paris.
The English • Government is in constant
communication with the .great powers, on
the demands made by Prussia, for the
sion of Alcac and .Lorraine. A Cabinet
Minister said to -day, "Those denim& meant
European war. As neither England nor
Russia dared for a moment accede to them."
Italy is putting her army on a war footing.
