According to "a statement whioh appears in Lnnwore, Marshal Leboeuff, late Napoleon's Chief of staff, songht death in the battles around Metz and displayed most reckless valor.

Colonel Leslie goes as British military com- misioner to the Prussian front, o. The sews rooms in London hare bulletin telegrams daily from tho scene of war, but it has proved so un trustworthy that little attention is now paid to it.

New York, October 1.—The Times’ London special says the result of the Cabinet Council yesterday, according to the London Times, is farther postponement of the action of the Min istry in regard to mediation. This delay cannot be of long duration. The tone of the Times yesterday shows that the Government must yield to public sentiment. Another letter from Bnlwer to that paper on the duty of England in this crisis, declares as historical facts that if, when Emperor Nicholas told Sir Hamilton Sey mour he meditated marching' his troops to the principalities, England had firmly protested, he would not have taken that step; and that if she h*& protested against Napoleon undertaking this war in same manner, he would not have com menced it Sir Henry, therefore, deprecated the ministerial war policy of waiting for good opportunities whioh may never arrive, ipjjg weak points in the defence of Paris, *. " fiy-- »>' v .* *■! i; which the Germans rely upon carrying prompt ly, are the heights of Sceaux, which approach the forts within four thousand paces, distance between the forts and th6 city being only fif teen hundred paces more, and a gap on western side north and south of Mont Yalerien. I recommended yon the other day to place no reliance on statements, that Bnssia was arming. Gortschakoff's policy is to keep Rus sia ont of war at present. Rnmors of the pur chase of an iron clad from the U. S. is denied. The Monitenr, replying to Prussian reports about insubordination of tho Gardes Mobile, publishes stories of mutinies among the Baden regiments at Versailles and the shooting of German soldiers. Reports of Fronoh successes in the neighbor hood are flatly contradicted by Prussian organs. The latest reports relating to Versailles by the French, are characterized by the Prussians as wholesale invention. A correspondent at Rome, writing on the 24th, says: The form of plebiscite adopted by Junta leaves the action of the Italian govern ment in regard to the Pope unfettered. All par ties, even the most extreme, are desirous of see ing the head of the church handsomely provided for. Emile De Garadin has published a plan for the campaign, and recommending the estab lishment of two vast training camps and two armies of diversion, destined to seriously har- rass the beseigers of Paris and Metz. French armies are reported to have commenced moving in the department, but I am afraid their volu tions are confined to paper. Red Republican movements at MarseiUes are gaining bead.

Bomb, Oct. 1.—In the Plebiscite vote on to morrow, the following is the ballots “Is Union with tho kingdom of Italy, under the Constitutional rule of Victor Emanuel desira ble f" The King waits the result at Florence. New York, Ootober 1.—The World special dated Oatend 30th says that intense excitement was caused by the arrival of a messenger from Valenciennes with news of a great battle, fought oil the Seine, Taesday 27th, which re sulted in the complete defeat of the Grown Prince of Prussia, under the guns of Vona and Mont Valerian. The victory was followed by the evacuation of Versailles and Rambonilet and the praoture of the Prussian line of invest ment, the Grown Prince retreating rapidly northward, upon the army of King William at Meaux and Soissons. An unofficial despatch from Berlin via Brus sels contradicts this news, bnt it is certain that communication between Paris, Amiens and Val- lenciennes has been partially reopened. An un official proclamation of victory, signed by Gam- letta, has been read in the latter city. The World’s correspondent at Boulogne telegraphs that exciting news has been received from Ronen of a crowning defeat of the Prnssians South of Paris, by Gen. Ducerat On Tuesday 27th, the French forces which had driven the Prnssians from Charmont, La Roche, Chattilon and other places, as previously reported, were Btrongly reinforced Monday night by Trochn, and advanced upon the German position at Monteville and Versailles. Early Taesday morn ing the battle began at Vierafroy and Velisy— the Germans contesting the French advance with desperate energy, until an assault was made by the Frenoh columns from under tho guns of Mont Valerian at St Cloud, through Boiso de France and Vancresson, where a num ber of regiments of tho Baden troops mutinied on tho battle field and refused to go under fire. Nearly one hundred of these troops were shot by order of the German commander. The rest still held back—many throwing down their arms and dispersing through the forests.- The Grown Prince was finally compelled to retreat, aban doning Versailles to the victorions French. The German colamn which attempted the passage of the Seine at Bangival, kept under a terrible fire from Fort Mont Valerian, which converted the retreat into a ronte and were driven in con fusion beyond St. Germain—night alone stop ped the pnrsnit. The Germans lost 5,000 pris oners—amoDg whom were many officers of the staff of the Crown Prince and 50 cannon and mitraillenrs. The road to Orleans and Tours is cleared of the enemy. London, October 1.—A war bulletin just is sued, signed, Gambetta, announces that the Prussians were routed at Vincennes. Versailles has been retaken with six thousand prisoners and much artillery. Communication between Paris and Ronen has been restored. The dis patch is generally thought to bo spurious. It is reported that the bridge at Creil gave way and several Prussian cannon and many lives were-losfc. : • <.[■■■ ■ • The election for the French Constitutional Assembly occurs October 11th.

There is at present only communication between here and Alexandria by boat. Torres, Ootober 1.—The balloon messenger arrived. He left Paris at 2 o’clock yesterday. No Prnssians were visible near Paris. A complete silence reigned around the city. No people were reenon the roads leading to the city. The balloonist observed when over Versailles that the Prussians in great number were here oamped. The balloonist dropped among them a great number of government proclamations printed in the German language. The Ger mans opened a sharp fire on the balloon. On arriving over Houdon the balloon began to descend. The balloonist threw over large packages of newspapers, and saved the letters and other valuables. The balloon rose and landed many miles west of the Prussian lines. Twenty-five thousand letters were brought safely to the post office at Veaux, whence they will come to Tours. A special locomotive was placed at the dis posal of the balloonist, named* Tissander, in which he came to Tours with government dis patches. He says the city is admirably defend ed. Half a million soldiers are behind the walls, armed and disciplined. The firing from the forts is so accurate that the Prussians were baffled in their attempts to erect batteries. The city is frequently tranquil—nearly all the shops aro open. The troop3 occupy the parks and boulevards for drill. At ten in the evening all the cafes are closed. Electric lights afford on admirable protection against surprises. Neither butter nor fruit are to be had, and the fresh meat will soon be out Tho city has plen ty of salt meats and breadstaffa for six months. Cincinnati, October 1.—The Fair is a con tinued success.

The depots of the Orange and Alexan der Railroad, and Virginia and Tennessee Rail road are submerged. The canal is submerged and the boats are floating about over the tow path and through the lower streets of the city. The water has washed in the main gas pipe and at It o’clock last night Lynchburg was sudden ly thrown into total darkness. A large num ber of employees on the South side Railroad are cut off on an Island below tho city. The freshet will reach Richmond about two o’clock to-day, and the river hero has already risen foot. Merchants are busy in the lower portion of the city removing their goo3s in time. The Telegraph lines aro down in aU directions. Richmond, September 30.— Snperintendent Kates, of tho Western Union Lines, telegraphs this morning that a number of buildings at Lynchburg have been swept away, and both the gas and water works ate submerged.

There is great excitement in the lower part of the city. They are removing goods from places, accessible to the water. The Orange Hotel and Orange and Alexandria railroad bridges at Lynchburg were swept away this evening. ,. The telegraph lines to Lynchburg and the west are badly damaged. Vice President Wyok- ham, of the Chesapeake & Ohio -Railroad, is between Greenwood and Waynesboro, with two trains, unable to recede or advance.

This is water from the Rivana; that frQm Lynohburg will strike here about midnight. The water at Lynchburg is twenty-five feet higher than ever known, before. More op the Great Flood—Richmond, Va, ( Sept. 30.—At Gordonsville to-day, the accounts that came in from the flood are more and more disastrous. The Orange & Alexandria Railroad bridge over Rockfish river is reported swept away. The bridge over the Rivana and Moores creek, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, are also gone. Barlis and Well's, two mills, are both float ing down the Rivana. 400 barrels of flour are floating around them. A dwelling house, com pletely furnished, went by thisp. m. The Rivana is filled with debris of fornitore, barns, agricultural implements, crops, &o. All the crops on the low grounds are a total loss. Richmond, October 1.—The river here rose twenty-five feet last night, and this morning it is within a foot of the Danville railroad bridge andHayo’s passenger bridge. The streets for four or five blocks in the vicinity of the old market—the lowest point in the city—are sub merged in four feet water. Thousands of per sons are on the river banks waiting for the bridges to go. ., ■ . , The lower portion of Libby Prison took fire at 11 o’clock, from a quantity of lime being overflowed by the flood. The fire was stopped before much damage was done. Citizens are volunteering to remove tobacco from the ware houses on the river bank, and the scenes are full of excitement. Furniture, trunks and bar rels of flour and whisky are floating down the The river at Lynchburg has fallen eight feet Several bridges on the Virginia A Tennessee Railroad were washed away. The persons drowned at Lynchburg were, Mrs. Ransom, her three children of Mr. Whitlow and a colored woman. . ‘ 'f— ni gff Later.—The water was still rising here at 1.30 "P. ML, and between three and four hun dred stores are in seven feet water bet ween Fif teenth and Eighteenth streets. The street cars plied till noon, when the water coming in at the windows, the line was stopped, and a ferry is now ran on all the main streets from Fifteenth to Eighteenth. Just at noon, the Manchester end of Mayo’s Bridge gave way, and half a mile of the bridge floated down the stream. All the wharves are far under water, and the, York River Railroad depot is completely submerged. Several small manufacturing establishments along the river bank are swept off. All day the river has been dotted over with small houses and wrecks of houses, fencing, dead cattle, etc., drifting. The gas works are submerged. *“ The first wave from the Lynchburg freshet struck here at five o’clock thi3 morning and the river commenced rising with much greater rapidity than before, when it was only swollen by the overflow. In three hours the lower end of the city known as Bookett’s, was under wa ter, and the scene there beggars description. Two or three small stores were swept off with all their contents. A family who had remained in the houses, hoping for the flood to subside, commenced orying from the upper windows for help. Boats were brought and they were saved, bnt the larger portion of their furniture was lost Two hundred families in that portion of the city are houseless to-night, and are camp ing ont on the neighboring hills. About noon the street cars on Main street which had been running through the flood with the water up to the seats, gave it up, and con nection between np town and down town was made by ferries. At this time a portion of Majo’s passenger bridge, built by the United States military after the evacuation, was swept off, and was soon followed by the whole struc ture. The bridge was three quarters of a mile long. The water then entered Mayo’s to bacco warehouse, 34 feet above low water mark. All teams were impressed to save the tobacco, much of which is for the French and German governments. With the exception of about one hundred and eighty hogsheads, the tobacco was saved. Just here it was found that the upper portion of the city was in danger from an over flow of the canal; down which an immense body of water was rushing and spreading above the banks. Theoanalwas cut two miles above the city, and the danger abated. In the lower portion of the city, the 'street lamps are under water and the city is in dark ness to-night. The gas works are being sub merged. The loss by merchants, though great, is greater than it wonld have been, if the tele grams from Lynchburg, announcing the flood, had been heeded. It is probably two hundred thousand dollars. Persons well acquainted with the sections of the State flooded, including rail road losses, think the loss in the State is four millions dollars. To-night the bridge on the Riohmond and Danville Railroad still stands, though as the river is now, (9 o’clock) still rising, it is hardly believed it can stand muoh longer. vjttiirt a >.;H At Morris, in a large sugar refinery, the wa ter burst up the floors, dropping all the ma chinery out of the easement. All the large cotton, iron and floor mills, employing. 2,000 hands, have been forced by the flood to stop operations. The city water works have also been stopped, being so damaged they cannot be repaired in two weeks, and the reservoir only contains five days’ supply for the city. Allthe ice houses in the city are on the river bank and are 20 feet under water. The water is seven feet higher than ever known-before.. A dis patch from Lynchburg says‘the rivtr there is rismgegaio. Wheeling, Va., October 1.—Harpers’s Ferry advices say there is a great flood, in the Shan- andoah. The lower part of the city is flooded- Man y substantial buildings are gone or are crumbling down. Fifty lives lost. Many are in peril beyond aid. A Tainted Atmosphere.—Malarious fevers are most prevalent in the fait Heavy and unwholesome exhalations then arise from the earth, and the great disparity between the temperature of day and night predisposes the system, anfeebied by the summer heats, to epidemic diseases. secretive organs, the liver especially, are apt, at thU period of the year, to become inert and sluggish, and all the bod- ’fly powers require renovation. The best, indeed the only protection against the morbid influences of the season is : a wholesome medicated stimulant. Pre-eminent among the restorative* of this class, and indeed foremost among the remedial and pre ventive remedies of modem timed, stands H os tet ter’s Stomach Bitters. Its reputation is co exten sive with the Western Hemisphere; it has been a standard article for twenty years; its sales’ (as may be ascertainded by the revenue returns) are far larger than those of any other proprietary prepara tion on this continent; and the testimony in its fa vor embraces letters of approval from the most distinguished members of all the learned profes sors and from well known residents of almost ev ery city in the Union. These are its credentials. To state what it is doing to prevent and assuage the sufferings of the human family would require more space than can be given to the subject here. The dyspeptic, the bilious, the nervous, the weak and emaciated, the desponding, the broken down, find in its renovating and regulating properties a sure and immediate means of belief. It ia spurs veg etable specific, at ones safe and potent, and for which the whole materia medica affords no substi tute.
